10 Terrifying Video Game Bosses You Felt Bad For

Resident Evil 7 has rightfully gone down as one of the scariest video games released in recent times, with the Baker family very much proving to be the cornerstone of this success.

Jack is the patriarch of the family and acts as the chief antagonist to our heroes Ethan and Mia Winters throughout most of the game. He is introduced as being an immensely strong, brutal and sadistic man, regularly berating his fellow family members and inflicting immense pain on himself as well as Ethan and Mia in a showcase of his new powers.

Having been infected by Eveline, Jack is capable of regrowing limbs and recovering from wounds at a staggering rate. He is responsible for kidnapping, killing and skinning local travellers and tourists who later become the hideous Mold creatures and seemingly revels in the fights he finds himself in.

However, a dream sequence towards the end of the game reveals the 'real' side of Jack Baker. A loving, loyal and dedicated family man, it's Jack's good nature that Eveline takes advantage of and manipulates away.

He expresses remorse over his actions, asks for forgiveness and pleas with Ethan to try and save his family before disappearing from us for the last time.
