8 Video Game Villains Destroyed By Their Own Creations
6. Pack Mentality - Far Cry
Dr. Krieger from Far Cry: Instincts is a strange man indeed, in fact, he's almost a double-sided coin of a man, with one side reading "maniacal genius" and the other reading "absolute idiot who should have seen this coming".
The good Doctor makes a name for himself in the original Xbox re-imagining of Far Cry by developing a super serum that seeks to "awaken" the animal instinct of humans, thus turning them into loyal and deadly warriors.
This all sounds...well horrible on paper, but the thinking is sound all the same as it does indeed produce quite terrifying results in the game, however, this is just one MASSIVE problem and that he's overlooked, and that's when it comes to the concept of "pack mentality".
The soldiers, now in their "awakened" form, only follow who they perceive to be the pack leader, and as you've just dominated their previous top dog, they're rather adrift. Dr. Krieger, foolishly so, believes the soldiers will listen to him as the de facto leader and orders them to kill, but the soldiers turn on the Dr instead and tear him to pieces, seeing you as the new alpha.
Ouch.
