Johnathan Stienberg from Perfect Dark Zero. (the kind of high pitched voice is a bit unnerving though.)

Dante from the Devil May Cry series. I think he's cool and fairly unique for a video game protaginist.
Wait...there are people who don't like Dante!?
Yes there are. People like me. People who like characters that other people hate like... er... Jigglypuff.

Isaac and Felix from Golden Sun. While it's true that there are people who like them, it's a common statement that since they, like Link in Zelda, don't say anything when you control them except yes or no, that makes them hollow. To me, that's okay. It just allows them to be more effective at becoming you. Being able to say yes or no instead allowed the dialogue to be more in the control of the player.

I prefered Nero to Dante am I the only one?
He was easier to beat enemies with, since his moves were designed for said enemies, but as a character, yes, you may be in the minority.

I didn't see anything about Nero that was unique. He was a standard fare naive holy warrior at the start, and made the standard conversion to bad ass anti-fake who saves his girlfriend.

Dante, meanwhile, at least had some cool lines. He was also pretty two dimensional in DMC4, sadly. He's more interesting character-wise in the other games.

As many people have said, Tidus and Rikku from FF X.
Add to that list Raiden from MGS2 and my list is done.
Oh man. I can't believe I forgot about Raiden. -_- I feel really dumb now. Well, he's definitely on my list too. xD

No, definitely not! Nero's probably my favorite in the series. I don't dislike Dante but I don't adore him either. Nero on the other hand, I adore.

OT: Neeshka, Neverwinter Nights 2
You're not alone. I was kinda amused by Neeshka, and for that matter Grobnar. Elanee was the only one I didn't like, but in more of a "meh" kind of way.

Also, from Morrowind: Fargoth. I never really caught any of the hatred for him when playing the game, and it wasn't until I was online that I learned anyone had any feelings regarding him. I thought he was just a mildly annoying NPC that you see for maybe 20 seconds in a 100 hour RPG.

That sarah paliny chick from fallout 3.

I'd boink 'er.

edit: moira brown, thats the ticket.
Uhhh, no. See, Moira is like Kaylee, from Firefly. She's a nut who tinkers with things and makes funny odd comments. I have no idea why that would be a problem.

Rimmer from Red Dwarf.
Ah man who can not like Rimmer, I like him so much mostly because of how sorry I am for him.
Also welcome to the Escapist.

As for me, even though she's the least popular character in American Dad I like Hayley regardless anyway because she reminds me of a cartoonish version of my older sister, complete with the love/hate bond she has with her younger brother.

We've all had them. We play a game, take a liking to a character, only to find out most other people that played the same game hated them.

What are some of the characters you like while majority of other people hate them?
I have a tendency to like a lot of the characters no one else does. And I have no idea why.

Mine would be Steve (Resident Evil), Tidus (Final Fantasy X), and Vaan (Final Fantasy XII). An honorable mention would be Nowe (Drakengard 2). But every now and then, I'll come across people who liked him too. xD
...People don't like Nowe? Guess that's my answer then.

OT: Nowe

no I liked him as well he really seemed to have character mainly due to the awesome trailers of the game and great voice acting.

Tidus from FFX, Rinoa Heartilly from FFVIII, Penelo from FFXII (didn't like Vaan though) and Misa Amane from Death Note(I know it's not a game, but I'm seriously convinced that I'm the only person that actually likes her, so I thought I might as well put her here. Poor girl). I love Rikku too, but I'd say she's far from a hated character.

Oh, and Navi never really bothered me.
