CHARACTERS you like that everyone else seems to hate!

Well, apparently, from what I've read here, everyone hates Desmond from Assassin's Creed, which kind of perplexes me, since I've never seen that dislike anywhere else.
I like him, and I think his story is one of the main reasons why I continue buying the games. (Apart from the fun gameplay, of course.)

They hate Desmond? Seriously? He's my favorite character from the AC series, even if you almost never get to play as him.
As for another character I like that most people don't, Alex Mercer from Prototype. People keep saying that he has no personality, but in reality, being a merciless mass-murderer is actually a personality, albeit a flawed one. Still, he seems to be perfect for his role in the game, being a narcissistic sociopath with no memories fits all that killing.

Yeah, gotta go with Desmond. I've seen loads of hate for him but I can't see why. People say he's bland but I disagree. Maybe it's because he's voiced by Nolan North. He was a bit boring in Assassin's Creed 1 but it wasn't really about him. His story became a lot more interesting in Assassins Creed 2 and Brotherhood.

Also;

People seem to prefer Frank West for some reason. Frank came across as annoying to me and all he cared about was his "scoop". Anyway, I PREFER CHUCK DAMMIT!

You're not alone, I think Chuck Greene is way cooler. And I also think they should put him in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 instead of Frank West!

Lightning and Hope- I feel like a lot of people hated them (along with everyone else in Final Fantasy XIII), but I didn't think they were that bad.

I have a bit of a crush on Bellatrix Lestrange. The character- not the actress from the movies.

Oh! I also really like the Legion(Caesar and Vulpes especially) from New Vegas. They had me as soon as I heard their proper Latin pronunciation. <3

Try as I might, I just can't seem to think of a character I've ever outright hated. I like a ton of characters that people seem to hate. A particular favorite is Silver the Hedgehog. I hear people say he looks like a fan-character or whatever, but I really liked him in Sonic '06 (ignoring all the faults that game had). He had good motivation, but was conflicted in the pursuit of his goals. I also like how he's set apart from other hedgehogs, who are all speed type characters, while he would probably be a power type. I will admit, I prefer his "Venice" preproduction look, but what can you do?

Oh my God, I forgot to mention him too. Right here bro, right here. *brofist*

He was actually, like Shadow, one of those well-thought out characters I actually liked SEGA for coming up with. His design was cool, he actually had a purpose for his actions, a semi-good backstory, and a pretty good voice actor IMO. His only downfall was that every time I look at him, I see a pot leaf XD

For some reason, nobody else on the entire Internet actually likes Reimu Hakurei. Can't think why, although I think it might be because she's a beginner character, hence: "soooo weak and slow." (I was actually told that on this very website.) As for complaints that she has no personality, well...who, in the entire series, has a personality that wasn't established by the fans?

And let's face it, she's about the only Touhoe I know of who wouldn't kill me on sight. Except maybe Alice, and I just don't go for blondes.

Sansa Stark. Man, that girl has some serious haterade getting poured on her.

 

[Jarlaxl]

Maiev Shadowsong, from the Warcraft Universe. I thought that she was a well-done character.

She gets a ton of flak for some reason, while her boring, brooding trenchcoat of a prisoner (I'm looking directly at you, Illidan) is swooned over.

I liked Shadow the hedgehog (The character, not the game): He's got an interesting personality, moral code, along with solid backstory and character development (In that he actually HAS backstory and character development). I also have a bit of a soft spot for Snow Villiers, namely because i just like his character design and the fact he can summon up a FUCKING MOTORCYCLE!

While not necesarily hated to the extent of some of the other characters, Caim from Drakengard isn't necessarily well liked either. Some call him a bit one-dimensional/Under-developed or just downright too fucking evil to be a protagonist...but that's why he's so fucking perfect! In a genre where characters like Tidus are pretty much the norm for lead characters, along with the downright whiny protagonists...to get a character who didn't give two shits about the world that was falling apart around him or his allies, and who's only goal was to murder every single enemy in his way with a smile on his face was rather refreshing. In an odd way, Caim was just so unlikeable that he was likeable (If that makes any sense).

Nah, I kid... [sub]don't hurt me[/sub]​

I thought jar Jar Binks was pretty funny in the first movie, but then I don't really get some forms of racism on some occaisions.

Still waiting for someont to mention a Twilight character on this thread.
