Characters so annoying that they almost ruined the game

[DarkHuntress]

Sometimes there are things in a game that are just plan annoying, could be the soundtrack, the cut scenes or one of the characters. They are so annoying that they can ruin the entire game.

I have two. The adoring fan from Oblivion and every Final Fantasy look alike spiky haired character from every JRPG game ever made.

What about you?

 

[teqrevisited]

I would've preferred FF IX without Quina. Those who've played it will know.

 

[Judgement101]

Alistair from DAO!

 

[Vek]

Navi from Ocarina of Time, and Tingle, should pretty much be universal.

That aside, Ashley in Resident Evil 4. She could have been cut entirely from the game, and her now vacant memory space could have been used for higher-res textures and higher poly-count models, and nothing of value would have been lost.

 

[Serenegoose]

Norton Mapes, from FEAR.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

Ashley Williams, from Mass Effect...

She just annoyed me... Thats why I left her back on Virmire...

 

[Nomanslander]

Rico from Killzone 2, if bad controls didn't kill the experience, this jerkweed certainly did...-_-

 

[Mr. Google]

Beat from Eternal sonata if youve played the game you know what i mean but if uve played it twice then you DEFINITELY know what i mean

 

[Miumaru]

Cole from Gears. People who love him make it worse.

Ryu/Ken/Akuma/M. Bison. But thats more for online reasons (SSFIV)

Edgar Ross.

 

[Sygmist]

Navi from Ocarina of Time...

'Hey!' 'Hey!' 'HEY!' 'Hey, over here!' 'Look!' 'YOU GREEN TUNICKED FUCK YOU BETTER PAY ATTENTION TO ME OR SO HELP ME...'

I concur! Jansen from Lost Odyssey, and every half-naked chick that walks around like she's not half-naked, in every game, ever. I don't care if their character persona was written by Tolkien - they can still get the fuck out of my games.

 

[The Geek Lord]

Junpei from Persona 3. When I played as the female main character in P3P, I picked every dialogue option to spite him. I honestly did. Fuck him and Ryoji with a fucking chainsaw that's on fucking fire.

Emil and Marta from ToS2... Oh, wait, you're talking about characters who ALMOST ruined the game, not characters who DID.

Ah. Yes. I know, I just know I'm going to spark a flame war with this, but... Cloud Strife and Aeris in FF7. They're part of the reason I only played two hours in before throwing my controller at the screen.

 

[NeutralDrow]

None that I can think of. For a game to be ruined for me, it takes far, far more than a character I don't like.

Navi from Ocarina of Time, and Tingle, should pretty much be universal.

I ignored Tingle and appreciated Navi. Admittedly, some of my appreciation for her came from hearing everyone and their second cousin on the internet complaining about how she's "so annoying," which makes me think they could just as easily get shocked and distracted by passing clouds.

Every Final Fantasy look alike spiky haired character from every JRPG game ever made.

Baten Kaitos must not be an RPG, I guess...

 

[Cody211282]

Any character whose sole personality trait is that he's a moody emo man-child.

Wow that's about every FF main character

 

[Sacman]

Tidus
/thread...

 

[Traumaward313]

Everyone in Resident Evil 5. Everyone in all JRPG's the last decade.

 

[ALuckyChance]

That woman who talks to you over a radio or something in Mercenaries 2. Good god, that voice is so high pitched and screechy it's almost painful.

 

[BlackKraken]

Every scantily clad woman in a warzone.

Seriously, wear something practical you ridiculous harlot. This sort of pathetic "OMGHAWT" stuff in games cheapens us all.

On another note, male characters, if you stopped pumping iron in the gym and taking steroids and instead spent the time learning to shoot straight this whole damn war would be over a lot quicker now wouldn't it?


And any black characters that talk in stereotypical american rapper slang.

Racist arsehole developers.
