When it comes to villains, few gamers believe there’s anyone more chilling then Frank Tenpenny inGTA: San Andreas. Although there are plenty of antagonists fans could choose from, it’s Tenpenny that sticks out in their minds. Why? He was just so damn committed to being an arse to everyone.

Of course, as with any debate, there were other names thrown into the ring, one of which being Dimitri Rascalov fromGTA 4. “Tenpenny was a dick, but Dimitri Rascalov was just pure evil,” said LegendNomad when comparing the two. It does seem that Dimitri is the only character who could potentially knock Tenpenny off his current top spot. Arguably, this debate comes down to what you value most in your villains: completely unhinged, evil tactics, or someone who’s cruel but isn’t dangerous on every level. Personally, I like bad guys who are the worst of the worst, but with a smidge of humour, just to round their personality out.
Clearly, there’s a great deal of love here for the good, bad, ugly, and downright weird inSan Andreas– why else wouldnew missionsbe added to the game years later, thanks to modders? Modders really are the backbone of so many fandoms.
Who do you think deserves to be hailed as the best antagonist? As far as we’re concerned, Tenpenny is a solid choice and has the backing of many other gamers. However, with the likes of Dimitri and Trevor in the mix too, there’s still everything to play for. Not ignoring the fact that there’s the unknown that isGTA 6, which could introduce an even worse villain.
