Robert House

or Andrew Ryan

 

[Yoshichan]

would you kindly not ask questions with such obvious answers

 

[rodrigolfp]

Who? Who?

 

[phant0m]

Andrew House or Jim Ryan?

Gotta go Ryan I guess

 

[Topher]

The one with the slick hair and mustache

 

[Drell]

I don't know them but you could've ask that same question between Bobby Kotick and Yves Guillemot.

 

[Deerock71]

The one that most looks like Vincent Price.

 

[Rush2112]

None would be as evil as the ones in real life. In fact, most were nice guys comparatively.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Andrew Ryan was based

 

[pqueue]

Hugh Darrow.

 

[pqueue]

Also Bruce Wayne

if he would just shoot the joker, he would do more good with that one action than he has accomplished in 80 years of comic book, tv, movie and videogame history.

Lord Oswell E. Spencer

President of Umbrella in Resident Evil

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Who? Who?

Bioshock games

Lord Oswell E. Spencer

His son was worse

 

[Jinzo Prime]

His son was worse

Spencer being a nepo baby would explain a lot!

Having not played NV, what does Mr House do that's actually evil?

Has money? I've played it multiple times and the most I can think of is wanting to blow up the brotherhood of steel. He does have valid reasons though.

 

[Paltheos]

Obviously Ryan. Both men are ruthless visionaries, but only Ryan was dragged back down to reality and became what he hated in a vain attempt to protect his creation. By then, there was no point to it. Mr. House's plans are cold but carefully deliberated to achieve the best, possible, long-term outcome. Say what you will about the feasibility of his strategy, but the purity of his intentions never became diluted.

Ted Faro - even has his own hate subreddit!

Directly? Nothing really. He tasks the player with eliminating or pitting opposing factions against each other to clear the way for his plans for New Vegas, but these are all in-service of his strategy to restore civilization after the fallout, plans which he details for you even down to milestones by year. The subtle hints from the storytelling that he may not be the perfect savior for humanity he believes himself to be, aside from his cold and calculating demeanor (and his failure at stopping nuclear winter to begin with which to his credit he does try to explain), are that he's a man living in a literal ivory tower, unable to see and interact with the outside world. He can gather information from his many security bots in the New Vegas strip and wastelands, but he's not living with other people. Dude's in a cryochamber, maximizing his lifespan so he can oversee the restoration personally.

None would be as evil as the ones in real life. In fact, most were nice guys comparatively.

Yeah We live in the stupidest timeline. You don't even have to hide you're evil.

Just like Dr. Gregory House. A smart person who's also capable of doing damage at the scale of whole nations.

Ted faro.

 

[bender]

I need to play New Vegas one day.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Kazuya Mishima in Tekken.

 

[Ozzie666]

His son was worse

He's holding a fail safe trigger. If anything happens to him bad shit happens to some very important Microsoft executives. This explains everything, in plain sight just like his magical shelf of toys.

 

[Denton]

House is not evil (though I am sure the TV show will make him).

Andrew Ryan's vision got fucked by unpredictable discovery of superpowers, not exactly his fault either.

 

[genesisblock]

Aren't these guys from the 50s-60s? At that point being a multimillionaire (adjusted to inflation) would be a billionaire equivalent of today.

 

[Nocty]

I had to google who both of them are

 

[Signalis]

Neither

 

[Rockondevil]

If you don't know one, or both of these names, you've missed some great games. Sorry for your loss.

I don't know them but you could've ask that same question between Bobby Kotick and Yves Guillemot.

You could, but Kotick is far worse.

 

[Hudo]

House isn't evil. And Ryan is just a retard.

 

[Fafalada]

You could, but Kotick is far worse.

I think Ricitello and Wilson are better counters to Kotick, despite maybe not being exactly billionaires.
Definitely at least as evil.
