Yeah, they've already been mentioned.
But the Nameless One is just plain awesome. There is nothing cooler, or more badass than him.
Garret, Threepwood and whatever the guy in Outlaws is called takes a nice second place.
I'm sure there's someone I'm missing, but most games have just awful protagonists. James, from Return to Krondor is almost worthy of a mention, far more personality than any games released nowadays. The problem with most games that have a "developed" protagonist is that they're not predefined. Fallout, Bloodlines, etc. It's your own character, and not a real protgonist, they can't really be judged like this.
I really would like to name another character, but I can't, both because the game hasn't even begun development, and because I can't say the name, but damn, that girl is awesome.

Really partial to Jade from Beyond Good and Evil and Yuri Hyuga from the first two Shadow Hearts games.
You mean Sly Cooper, I remember playing that as a bright-eyed kid with my brand new PS2.Xerosch said:
NO PIE FOR
Gordon Freeman
Link
Master Chief
Leon Kennedy
the lame action-hero types
CHERRY ON THE TOP FOR
Trilby (come on people! I thought this forum had its priorities!)
Threepwood
Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth
Jade
Cid (sure, everyone hates the FF series for its emo protagonists. But supporting protagonists, like Cid in FF7 are pure awesome, and pure vulgarity)
The Demoman and The Heavy
D0G (fits in pretty well with the speechless R2D2/Wall-E crowd)

as for my fav char Im gonna have to say the chick from Portal, she never talks which adds so well to the twist in the end. Her and Crash Bandicoot, idk y,i just think he fucking awesome lol.
Oh and the team from battlefield bad company, lmao the quotes in the game r the best ever.
If you're going to hate the great and powerful spongebob, at least have a follow up statement that doesn't make you look like an illiterate moron.StickManRampage said:
Way too many acronyms.
lol i know you're joking but GOD even to joke and call him a real character...Richard Groovy Pants said:
Keanu Reeves has more character in his left toe, and everyone knows Keanu reeves has the acting personality of a plank.
I think even samus has more personality than Master chief
P.S how quickly do you think i would get banned if i start up a MC vs Samus thread? tbh i am actually interested how it would fare on Escapist, because the majority of people here arent blind idiotic fanboys (I think)
oh, and i haven't played it, but i heard the main character from Disgaea is hilariously great.
As for my own character...lets get exotic and go for V.I Gorky from original war. Yeah, lets see how many people even know what frickin game i'm talking about!
Personally, I reckon Marcus Fenix from GOW is the best protaganist because I can really relate to his struggle to exterminate the Locust hordes.
...
On a more serious note, I think the fantastical settings of most video games often unfortunately prevents alot of empathy and connection between the gamer and the protaganist. And really, how I see it, the best measure of a protaganist is his/her ability to conncect with the gamer.
It is therefore unsurprising that good protaganists are most often found in plot-driven adventure games in which the gamer and the protaganist are experiencing the same sense of...adventure.
Something like that.
