Best game character

[IndieRocker]

3rd Captain Price (the SAS guy with the stupid facial hair) from Call of Duty 4
2nd Alyx (Half Life 2)
1st GlaDOS (Portal)

GlaDOS just gets some of the best lines of black comedy ever and despite being a robot is still more human than most game characters. Here is a quote that I can type without ruining the amazing plot:

"Subject name here" you must be the pride of "Subject Hometown Here"

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Some of my favorites:

Balthier (FFXII)

Samus Aran (Metroid series)

Raz (Psychonauts)

Auron (FFX)


On a side note: why did they have to ruin Auron in KH2?!

 

[_Janny_]

For me...
1- Lara Croft - boo all you want, but she was an awesome character until they destroyed her with these new and crappy games
2- Agent 47 (Hitman)
3- Vergil (DMC3)
4- Max Payne

 

[GrimRox]

I'll go with top 3.

3rd Dante from DMC.
2nd Sephiroth from FFVII
1st Ninja (Grey Fox) from MGS

GlaDOS was pretty kick ass though, Portal has the funniest lines ever!

 

[jiffmcgriff]

Sargent Johnson, the man was impossibly nails.
Solid Snake, you couldn't get more vet'.
All the clone commandos in Republic Commando especially Scorch and Sev.
These choices were mainly based on the inability for these characters to fail in any way, shape or form.

 

[TheGrue]

Hrmmmm....

Irenicus from BG2.. hell everyone from that game

 

[Tanthalos]

Ahhh wheres the love? I know he doesn't have many lines but come on guys...Link!

How can no one mention Link yet?
If nothing else you have to admire his patience and will, doing the same things over and over again.

 

[Pipotchi]

I second Jon Irenicus amazingly fleshed out as Bad guys go

Also Shodan from SS2

 

[ingsoc]

GlaDOS
G-Man
Earth Worm Jim

 

[Gahars]

Solid Snake- I know, too easy

GLaDOS- No other game character has ever made me laugh as much.

Frank West (Dead Rising)- A man who can kill thousands of zombies while wearing a pink dress and making it look cool has to be on this list.

 

[BlackOps]

Sev from Republic Commando (with Scorch as a close second, Fixer is a bit too... boring for me, never makes any jokes, except where he says that 'No terminal can match my l33t haxor skillz', i died ingame because i was laughing about that)

 

[irrelevantnugget]

Samus Aran
Sergeant Matt Baker (Brothers in Arms)
Ibuki (Street Fighter III)
Millia Rage (Guilty Gear series)
Prince of Persia (didn't have have a name, vaguely mentioned somewhere?)

Oh... and Prince Rurik from Guild Wars. His epic behaviour is just... epic.

 

[laikenf]

Samus
Kratos
Rachet
Kyle Katarn

 

[Gahars]

Oh...

One more addition.

Dexter

 

[Nugoo]

Id, from Xenogears. His awesomeness was forever cemented in my mind when he threw your submarine onto you after it landed on him.

 

[Rykan]

Dingo Egret from Zone of the Enders The Second Runner
Ashley from Wild Arms 2
Q from Armed and Dangerous
HK-47 from KOTOR 1&2
Cervantes from Soul Calibur

 

[_Janny_]

Prince of Persia (didn't have have a name, vaguely mentioned somewhere?)

Nope, the prince is simply called... the Prince. I'd kill to find out what the designers originally had in mind to name him.

 

[Peter Blackhat]

In no particular order... except the first one:
Sonic the fricken Hedgehog!
Raz from Psychonauts
GlaDOS from Portal
Max Payne
HK-47 from KOTOR
Freya from FFIX
Carla Valenti and Tyler Miles from Indigo Prophecy
Maniac from Wing Commander IV
Samus Aran
Citan from Xenogears
The N+ Ninja

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Alyx from Half Life 2 onwards, an A.I player that is generally quite useful to have around.
HK-47 from KOTOR, the best companion any player could want.
Grey Fox from MGS, the only character that I would kill to play as...

 

[JSharpie]

Ahhh wheres the love? I know he doesn't have many lines but come on guys...Link!

How can no one mention Link yet?
If nothing else you have to admire his patience and will, doing the same things over and over again.

Amen to that
