Best Protagonist

Master Chief.

(Oh boy, hope no one calls me out on that one!)

Also, my deja nazi 6th sense is starting to prickle, I'm sure this has been done before.

I used to like him a lot, before I came to the conclusion he was just another generic 'bad-ass' in a suit of armour.

I'm going with Link.

Leon Kennedy. he is so bad ass

And he has a nice jacket, though he wants to be Dante, who fell out of my favour when DMC3 came along.

Daxter from Jak and Daxter is one hilerious creature...
Aaannnndd....Kratos, cause slaughtering all those innocents must be a challening work.

I like Nameless from Planescape: Torment, but I'm also a fan of the (nameless) main character in the Gothic series.

Why are the protagonists in games where you make up your own character always frightfully boring?

Best? Best protagonist? I have no idea, really. Maybe Guybrush Threepwood. Maybe not.

Favorite protagonist? Squall Leonhart, most likely. Don't ask why.

You're a protagonist...

I mean Manuel Calavera. That dude quips it like nobody's business!

what did you want to be called again? I kept calling you Jimmy but you wanted a new name.

I'm not sure, I don't even remember you calling me Jimmy.
How about Smitty?
Smitty Werben Jegermanjenson.

[sup]and I am a cunning fox, though I wish it had linked to Wilsoncrazybed's comment at the end about why the thread was locked. Oh well.
Look at me! I have small writing![/sup]

SPONGEBOB!!!!!! the hat episode


I like Conker

The Nameless One!

How can you not love an immortal who has lived countless lives over hundreds of years, but thanks to his shattered existence has repeatedly lost all but a few fragments of the memories of who he previously was and how he came to be that way. Especially when his previous incarnations were so.. how to put it.. interesting.

Hell. YES.

I'm a personal fan of...woah, I just went through all my games and realised most of the rest are unlikable.

'Chelle from Portal is pretty ace, as is Kyle Katarn for all his "look at me, I'm an old Jedi" balls.

I'm thorn between Link and Jade from Beyond Good & Evil.
Link is just awesome but his character is rather flat, since he never talks.
Jade on the other hand had a lot of personality and was one of those characters you just have to love.
She was more than your typical girl with balls protagonist.

 

[Sir Pysco Sexy]

Max Payne.

The graphic novel/comic scenes + the EPIC voice acting makes him one of the most interesting characters to play that I've come across.

 

[tinkyyy]

Cortez from Timesplitters, just for the line "It's time to split!"

Well, Conker's kinda funky, I guess, but my favourite protagonist in a game has to be FFX's Auron (including his Kingdom Hearts 2 appearance). He has a giant, decent looking sword *glares at Cloud and his Buster Sword*, an awesome coat, brings some sort of uber-alcohol to battle and can spit said alcohol on his sword to shoot evil orbs from it. WIN.

Also, let's give a mention to the fantastic character of Raiden. Come on, I'm sure everyone agrees with me when I cross my fingers and say he was a brilliant, completely well fleshed out, witty character with a complete understanding of his situation and certainly no whiny voice at all.

Kane! No wait, he's an antagonist...

Cloud Strife? Okay, I'm just joking on that one...

You know what? I don't actually think I have a favourite protagonist.

Kreia (KotOR II) is the closest character I can come up with.

EDIT: I look a few posts above and he's sat there like the most obvious thing in the world!
Kyle Katarn.

Shion from Xenosaga. She's in my favorite story, has an incredibly good voice actor, priceless facial expressions, deviates from the "standard" female roles in most video games, and built a murderous gynoid with a stomach that shoots laser beams. Only thing I really disliked about her was her fashion sense. I've played a lot of JRPGs so it takes a real disaster for me to even notice anymore let alone have it bother me.

I just got the feeling that she was being a major ***** in episode three though, must be the result of Kevin's mindfuckery.

I counted that as a plus because most of the people she was a ***** to deserved it in my opinion. When she started talking about Kevin on her "date" with Allen to get revenge for sending the guilt trip email I about died of laughter.
