Some video game characters don't suffer from insanity, they enjoy every last minute of it!
I believe there are two types of crazy: fun crazy and sad crazy. Fun is when the character is so insane that it can be enjoyable sometimes. It's fun to see them act erratically and unpredictably. Sad is just when the character actually suffers from that insanity and it slowly destroys who they truly are. It's pitiful to watch.
With that being said, this list is compiled with the two crazies! Fun and Sad! You can probably just assume which one's which.
Top 5 Insane Video Game Characters
5. Gun
I'm kind of cheating with this one since this guy is from some random Japanese visual novel type game, but it's my list and I can do what I want with it! I couldn't resist putting Gun on this list. He is the embodiment of insanity. His job is to kill anyone who disobeys the rules...or who doesn't. It doesn't really matter to him. He just loves to kill people! What's weird about him is that he has an almost childish appeal to him. While dragging along a dead body, he likes to sing random little songs. He also loves kitties!
4. The Beauty and the Beast Unit
Metal Gear Solid 4
These "beauties" control the "beasts" that serve as the bosses in MGS4. When they're first introduced, you can already tell they're all not exactly right in the head. One's laughing insanely, one can't stop crying, one keeps yelling "RAGE!" and one is just sitting on the side lines seemingly controlling everything. After Snake defeats each one, Drebin calls him and gives him a very detailed background of their life. And good God did they all have fucked up lives! It's no wonder their minds are completely destroyed!
3. James Sunderland
Silent Hill 2
Of all the Silent Hill protagonists, James clearly is the most insane. This is when the series started focusing more on the psychological mentality of the player. Everything James sees, every monster he encounters, every person he meets were all created inside his head. Everything in Silent Hill reflected his mental state. He even created Pyramid Head in order to punish himself for what he had done. The thing about James' insanity is that it isn't fun like all the others', it's just sad and pitiful.
2. Albedo
Xenosaga
How could this guy be considered insane? Yeah, he likes to randomly chop off his limbs while laughing maniacally, but he's immortal and they regenerate right back, so it's okay! Oh, and don't mind the fact that his decapitated head can still talk and laugh evilly, that just happens sometimes. Speaking of his laugh, it just gets to me every time. It's so broken and breathy; it feels real! It's not the typically "Mwahahaha!" It sounds like an actual deranged person who can't control his mind. Even Sephiroth wouldn't mess with this guy.
1 Sheogorath
The Elder Scrolls Series
Of course this guy would be on the list. I mean, he's the Daedric Prince of Madness! It would make sense that he's batshit insane. I hardly ever understand half of the stuff that comes out of his mouth. What's worse about him is that he is extremely powerful. He just loves to slowly drive other men insane, and plus he's completely unpredictable! Attacking him just sends you on a nice little trip into the sky where you plummet to your death. Power and insanity don't mix very well. Especially when he makes constant threats of stealing your eyes or strangling you with your own intestines in that Scottish/Irish accent of his. And then he goes on with his perfectly healthy obsession with cheese.
Without characters like these, some games would be pretty damn boring! They liven things up a little (except James). Now it's time for a celebration...Cheese for everyone!!!!
