Le Chuck

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

Naija comes into mind (Aquaria, self explainatory).
Alyx Vance too.
Link, all sidekicks (excluding Tatl, LoZ:MM) included.
Anyone from Golden Sun.
The Team (You know who!).
Abbadon (Guild Wars).
Atlas and Andrew Ryan.
And so on.

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

GAH! How has no one mentioned HK-47 yet? He's perhaps the most enjoyable evil NPC sidekick ever. I like Cortez in Timesplitters 3.

 

[Jonathan Hexley]

Either Phoenix Wright, or Reaver. Why Reaver?
STEPHEN FRY.
Possibly the greatest man ever is his voice actor.

The G-man. That was the first character I can recall that provided a catalyst for discussion about characters in video games. The way you'd always see him walking off, and you'd try to catch him only to find a horrible disaster. He always seemed connected to the horror that was unleashed around you and yet never seemed to convey any ill will. At best it was passing interest in your predicament - the way that I look at an ant struggling with a grain of sand.

There have been scores of interesting characters since. SHODAN (system shock 1 & 2), Garret (Thief), Sam Fischer (Splinter Cell), J.C. Denton (Deus Ex), Cpl Alan Sheppard (Half Life: Opposing Force) and so on.

Guybrush Threepwood-He is a hilarious try hard pirate...what more dya want

GlaDOS-Her song and creepy humour are indented into Me

Tommy Vercetti- "Blame My Mom..I do" and dodgey clothes...EPIC

Love Fist-Their songs/personas and missions are one of the best things in Vice City

He comes from far away. His stun-stick's here to stay. His leathery mask, his iron hands. And that sniper rifle pistol. His names the Metrocop. Upholder of the law. He kills the humans for fun, not profit. Therefore, he's my favorite. And always will be. He's the Metrocop.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

I don't count voiceless heroes with no lines or personality as Characters (So Gordon Freeman, Isaac Clark etc. can all go fuck themselves for the best character award).

Same thing for playaer created characters, but I have less animosity towards them.

Personally I'd have to go with Naked Snake, Guybrush Threepwood or Phoenix Wright

 

[KenzS]

EARTH WORM JIM FTW!!


Has anyone mentioned Cole from GoW? He's one of my favs.

 

[PirateKing]

It comes down to GLaDOS or Johnson from Halo. The "I know what the ladies like" Line made me laugh for weeks.

I like it when he says, "Dear humanity, we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to earth." etc...
I got hit hard when he died. "Kick his ass."

 

[PirateKing]

I don't know if I should say this, but I felt a massive connection to Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes. His insanity was just so awesome to me.
Solid Snake too. Just cuz I need to mention Metal Gear in every thread.

 

[DeusFps]

Gordon Freeman.

Urr I hate to destroy your love of leather,but Metrocops are Human not from the Combine homeworld and not Posthuman either.

 

[Taunto]

Hmm guess im the first one to say master chief.

 

[fd18e3d0-816e-11e4-b4a9-0800200c9a66]

Mr Giggles or Mr Socky from Timesplitters

I know that very well. It just sounded better than "He comes from the house next door to your own". Besides, far away can be interpreted differently. Anyway, where I'm going with this is that yes, you're right.

 

[Fightgarr]

Manuel "Manny" Calavera.
None better.

 

[smudgey]

Bill Clinton. If anyone thinks I'm kidding about that you have lived a sad life.

What fucking game has he been in!?! Serious i want to know so i can play it.

Also i vote for G-man, he gives he the willies!

Clinton was a secret character in NBA Jam.

I think it might have been Urban Strike, when you had to escort a school bus full of VIPs, you would occasionally hear a Clinton-esque voice say "Hey there, little lady" and "Can we stop for ice-cream?"
Oh yeah, I vote for Samus, GLaDos and Travis Touchdown.
