History Jerkass / VideoGames

*** Nick is quite the ass hole to Coach and Ellis throughout the game. He insults their hero, Jimmy Gibbs Jr, by saying he looks like an ass hole, insults Coach in the tunnel of love by saying "Bring back any memories, Coach? You, a cheeseburger, romance in the air." In the same level, he mocks Ellis' accent ("You can almost call this the CE-met river, Ellis!") and just to insult everyone living in the south, he says this at the start of the tunnel of love (if the game has him say it):

** Nic TookALevelInJerkass in ''The Passing''; throwing out multiple insults to the original survivors as well. Francis is characteristically hostile right back, but the calmer Zoey and the downright upbeat Louis also react negatively to him.

* ''{{Fahreheit}}'' has Captain Jones in the chapter, "Captain Jones is Really Upset", where he berates Carla and Tyler for Lucas' escape.

* ''{{Fahreheit}}'' has Captain Jones in the chapter, "Captain Jones is Furious", where he berates Carla and Tyler for Lucas' escape.

Here's the list of [[JerkAss Jerkasses]] in VideoGames. Now go die already.

* Bowser in the ''Mario'' games since ''Super Mario Sunshine." As a main antagonist, he was originally a great villain who managed to rebound as a great main antagonist in ''Super Mario 64'' after ''Super Mario RPG.'' However, his sometimes helping of his enemies became too much, and [[VillainDecay led his evil to degrade and develop at least some goodness]]. Now his plots are either [[''Super Princess Peach'' half-assed or flawed]], particulary in ''Super Mario Galaxy,'' an unsuccessful attempt to rule the galaxy that would instead lead to his death as well as everyone else, unless Mario stops him. Even worse, in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Rosalina and the Lumas never even tried to keep the Power Stars secure so Bowser wouldn't even steal them. And instead of keeping on guard, the good guys procrastinate at the Star Festival

* In ''EnchantedArms'', [[FlamboyantGay Token Gay Guy]] Makoto gets introduced as a Jerkass, getting jealous of anyone who gets close to Toya, advocating cutting and running, verbally kicking the dog, and also generally making it abudently clear he doesn't like the hero. The stereotypical lisp and the over-confident win quotes don't help.

* Luke fon Fabre, protagonist of ''TalesOfTheAbyss'', is a major-league {{jerkass}} for the first fourth of the game -- however, it's pretty clear that almost no-one else in the party ''can'' stand him and follow him simply because their goals overlap. Upon finally reaching a point where his scant redeeming features stop making up for his obnoxious personality, they abandon him until he's cleaned up his act... Which he ''does'', [[TheAtoner and then some]].

** And while I'm on this game, let's not forget Vharley himself, who [[spoiler:kidnapped Alicia, forcing Regal to give the Toize Valley Mine to him in exchange for her life, then returns Alicia to Regal. AS A MONSTER WHO BEGS REGAL TO KILL HER.]] He got off lightly when Regal and Presea "dealt with him", if you ask me. It should've been much more painful.

* Rico in [[Killzone Killzone 2]] , He get's a teammate killed, and the at the end of the game he, in universe, [[RuinedFOREVER ruined things FOREVER]] for all of his allies.It also falls into [[NiceJobBreakingItHero]]

*** I'd go with ''almost'' everyone, or maybe "half to two-thirds of the cast". Some are just quirky than actual jerkasses (The Judges, Ron DeLite), and there's no way anyone could consider people like Will Powers or Colias Palaeno jerkasses.

*** Furthermore, s/he thinks the most measured and polite response to most people is to either punch them or shove a gun into their faces. Finally, in what culminates as one of Renegade Shepard's Crowning Moments of Jerkassery, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v42UhB7polA this]] scene happens. Keep in mind, many people commenting on the video say that they don't even ''like'' Jack, and they ''still'' think Shepard is the asshole here. There's also the fact that, in the Renegade playthrough of Zaeed's loyalty mission, [[spoiler:s/he thinks Zaeed's burning down of the factory was a good idea, [[MoralEventHorizon and even says to him "If you say Vido dies, he dies]]."]]

* Rico in [[Killzone Killzone 2]], He get's a team mate killed, and the ending, he in universe [[RuinedFOREVER ruined things FOREVER]] for all of his allies

* Rico in [[Killzone2]], He get's a team mate killed, and the ending, he in universe [[ruinedforever ruined things forever]]

* Rico in [[Killzone2]], He get's a team mate killed, he beats an ally half to death and the ending, he in universe [[ruinedforever ruined things forever]]

* Lt. Carter Blake from ''HeavyRain'' is this at best, which it will make him CompleteMonster. He's the ''epitome'' of a RabidCop, cocky, prone to insulting others for practically nothing, [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique doesn't hesitate to beat the living shit]] out of anyone he thinks might have information on the Origami Killer case, [[strike: including]] especially when they've done nothing to deserve it, and is constantly hammering on [[ChewToy poor]] [[GoodCopBadCop involuntary partner]] [[TheProfiler Norman Jayden]] unless he ''goes along with him'', partly for being a ByTheBookCop, partly because he doesn't take profiling seriously, and, [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation depending on who you ask]], partly because he's been working on the Origami Killer case since the killings began [[GreenEyedMonster but hasn't been turning anything up]]. By the time he starts trying to knock the living daylights out of [[PapaWolf Ethan]] [[TheWoobie Mars]] accusing him of kidnapping his own son (if Ethan is arrested), players will probably be feeling an urge to punch him out through the screen if they didn't already. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Norman can do that for them,]] but it's less satisfactory when Blake returns it with ''threat at gunpoint.'' It's a miracle that man made it to police lieutenant. The game ''can'' end with him losing his job, but that requires [[spoiler: him to kill Ethan in the finale]].
** His boss, Captain Perry, is also this, evidenced when he admits to Norman in their first meeting that he doesn't need his help, which he'll be acting {{Jerkass}} on him when he tells him that Blake is beating Ethan up.

* Lt. Carter Blake from ''HeavyRain'' is this at best, not going into [[CompleteMonster worst]]. He's the ''epitome'' of a RabidCop, cocky, prone to insulting others for practically nothing, [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique doesn't hesitate to beat the living shit]] out of anyone he thinks might have information on the Origami Killer case, [[strike: including]] especially when they've done nothing to deserve it, and is constantly hammering on [[ChewToy poor]] [[GoodCopBadCop involuntary partner]] [[TheProfiler Norman Jayden]] unless he ''goes along with him'', partly for being a ByTheBookCop, partly because he doesn't take profiling seriously, and, [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation depending on who you ask]], partly because he's been working on the Origami Killer case since the killings began [[GreenEyedMonster but hasn't been turning anything up]]. By the time he starts trying to knock the living daylights out of [[PapaWolf Ethan]] [[TheWoobie Mars]] accusing him of kidnapping his own son (if Ethan is arrested), players will probably be feeling an urge to punch him out through the screen if they didn't already. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Norman can do that for them,]] but it's less satisfactory when Blake returns it with ''threat at gunpoint.'' It's a miracle that man made it to police lieutenant. The game ''can'' end with him losing his job, but that requires [[spoiler: him to kill Ethan in the finale]].

* Your ''{{Pokemon}}'' rival in GSC and HGSS. He abuses his Pokemon, doesn't care about them, abuses ''you'' mentally and physically, and takes out your Rocket costume just when you were about to infiltrate the invaded Radio tower. He gets a HeelFaceTurn, but still..

* Shinji Matou from ''FateStayNight'' is a thoroughly unlikeable little weasel who treats others like dirt and acts as though the world is solely there for his own convenience. And this is ''before'' you find out what an utter, irredeemable bastard he really is. Gilgamesh is just as selfish and amoral, but unlike Shinji, he actually has the power to back it up.

** There's also the obnoxious and egotistical Kent, and a few of the survivors, with [[FatBastard Ronald]] [[IncrediblyLamePun taking the cake]]. You're trying to get as many still-surviving humans to safety as possible and all he cares about is how much extra food you can provide him.

* Morrigan in DragonAge could be counted as this. She's sarcastic, condescending, and impolite no matter how you talk to her. Sure, you can make her nicer by giving her gifts and such, but if you do nothing this is ''exactly'' how she comes across.

* In Oblivion, directly after you decide what race and sex your character is, you find yourself in a prison cell. A dark elf prisoner across the hall gets your attention, then procedes to insult you and your entire race, then claims that the guards are going to kill you. Of course, in the event that you choose to become a dark elf, he doesn't insult you or your race... if you're male, he says that you probably have a wife or girlfriend back home, and then he says that he'll find her and "comfort" her about your death when he's freed. If you're female, he says that he'll get the guards to let you into his cell, to have some "fun." In both cases, he does tell you that you're going to be killed, though. Not a nice person.

*** [[FlatWhat What]]. Shi-Long Lang? The guy who ''[[BigDamnHeroes saved your ass in the final case]]''? The guy who ''[[TurnTheOtherCheek took a bullet for]] TheMole [[AFatherToHisMen because of his code of honor]]''? ''That's'' a JerkAss? Um, what definition are we using, because that doesn't seem to be "aggressively selfish" to me.

---> '''Shepard''': ([[spoiler:when asked why he ruined a businessman's life]]) You refused to testify. [[InsaneTrollLogic Obviously, you hate justice and deserve this.]]
