Since THE NOID was made into a game.NeutralDrow said:
Funny, because if you played through X you found out he didn't exist at all...SarahSyna said:
waste of space lulz... Then this happened in X-2
Any scrappy that yells at you to save him then turns right 'round and is all ungrateful about it.
Lara Croft and, Nathan Drake. Nathan Drake murders his fellow man in pursuit of shining antiquities from days long past. Lara does the same thing only she also murders animals and sometimes monsters, also for shiny antiquities. I think Lara is the worse character though since she offers male game-players partial nudity if they help her murder her archaeological rivals. What's that Lara? you'll take off your top and swim around a bit if I help you blingify your house? Alright!
Yeah, I know there are 6 other games, but I was mocking all the ones that came after that had EXTREMELY unlikeable protagonists. I guess I shouldn't have said 'all', but whatever. I made a mistake on the internet and will therefore be crucified for it.Cridhe said:
Well the books go into more detail as to who exactly John is and what his motives are, but I see where you're coming from. If you go solely by the games then there's not much you can glean from him.Sir Boss said:
Rosh Penin from Jedi Academy gets my vote. It's like they took everything that was annoying about Anakin from the prequels and cranked it up to eleven. You can tell just by LOOKING at him that he's a whiny *****:
Now if you'll excuse me, I have the sudden urge to strangle something.
Nah, people can learn from their mistakes. No need for crucifixion if you realize that FF6 makes any sweeping generalization about FF protagonists being "unlikeable" is objectively wrong.Mallefunction said:
I like Spoony, don't get me wrong, but he can occasionally talk out his ass. I liked Tidus.9_6 said:
The runner in QWOP. Seriously, how did he become an Olympic runner when he can barely walk?
In a more honest opinion, Waluigi. He's a gangly freak who wears purple, has a blue nose, and has no redeeming qualities of his very being. Now keep in mind that this is a Nintendo character, but when your existence has provided nothing of value outside of a party game you know you're a disgrace.
Say what you will about Tingle from Zelda, since I'll agree, but at least he had a purpose: he gave you maps, translated maps, and probably gave someone somewhere nightmare fuel.

Sounds like someone is just mad because someone else said so.9_6 said:
Not Tidus's fault he is a time anomaly(because he is) and is from a different time and no one woudl believe him if he said so. Besides Auron makes up for having Tidus.
And besides are you telling me you wouldn't do stupid things in his shoes?
What you want you character to be great all of the time and all knowing?
Tidus was perhaps the most realistic character I have seen Square done compared to the "we get everything right except the things we couldn't prevent"types we get now.
He got his OWN game...Atticus89 said:
I'm srs google it tingle's game.
Can I use tabletop games? Because I really hate Drizzt and Elminster Aumar. So much so that I have forbiden any of my players from refering to them in a positive light, lest they be crushed under rocks and perish
In video games, every character from FFX save Lulu.
I would also have to say Bishop from Neverwinter Nights 2. Poorly writen evil character. I could rant on that issue all day. Really, don't get me started.
Other than that, I would also have to say Hope from FFXIII.

Hey, you know who has even less personality then Master Chief? Gordon Freeman. Seriously, tell me I'm wrong. In fact, Freeman and Master Chief are almost identical in every way(Power-armored badasses who become symbols of hope to a downtrodden human race while conquering an alien menace alongside a tomboyish female sidekick), except MC has more lines of dialog. Like, 3 of them.Sir Boss said:
Also, MC actually had a much more legitimate claim to the whole "symbol of hope" thing then Freeman did. See, Master Chief was the only soldier in a war for survival who could fight an incredibly powerful enemy effectively. It makes sense for people to rally around him.
Freeman, however, actually CAUSED the alien invasion in question, then disappeared for around 2 decades. Seriously, how did people even hear about him? He was nobody! Even ignoring that glaring plot hole, what exactly did he DO pre-dissapearance to garner all that faith? Spectacularly fail to save the Earth? Yeah, that sounds like a real symbol of hope to me! Anywho, that's it for me. I have to kick a beehive, poke a bear, and maybe play with some fire.
OT: I don't know, any female character from a Team Ninja game?
EDIT: Hmm, lots of people confusing "Disgrace to gaming" with "characters I don't personally like".
Here's my question:PeePantz said:
How in the world did they fuck up a sentient virus? That's the coolest protagonist concept ever! It could have been a AAA Pandemic II! Well, in theory. Someone was apparently under the impression that a sentient virus has to be marketed as SO HARDCROE EXTREAM GUISE as opposed to, you know, a sentient virus. He doesn't need a unabomber jacket, guys. He's a virus.
IMO, either Samus from Other M or Sonic.
