10 Video Game Villains Who Won By Losing
1. Joseph Seed - Far Cry 5
The villains of Far Cry are all fascinating individuals that are capable of making you question if you're really the main character.
However, when it comes to the victory department, their record leaves a lot to be desired.
Fortunately for them, Joseph Seed gets you these numbers a little bit.
The charismatic cult leader from Far Cry 5 is a cunning man who's always two steps ahead of you. So much so that in the game's ending he always gets what he wants, no matter what choice you make.
In the final act of Far Cry 5, you have to pick between arresting Joseph or making him let you and the other officers walk away. The thing is, regardless of your choice, everyone except Joseph is completely doomed.
If you walk away, your character will kill all of their friends as they drive to safety because they were secretly conditioned by Joseph's brother, Jacob.
If you choose to arrest Joseph, a nuclear bomb will explode in the distance just as he planned, and the cultist will kidnap you to a bunker, where he can torture you until the rest of your days.
It's like picking which grenade you want to blow up in your face.
