Failed attempts at being bad ass...

[HardRockSamurai]

Truthfully, all video games would love it if they were described as "bad ass." That's why most video game developers strive to make their games "bad ass." While some games succeed at being "bad ass," some games totally botch it. An example. Here's a quote from Alone in the Dark:

Zombie Girl: Now give me the stone!
Edward Carnby: I don't have your stone, and fuck you anyways!

Probably one of the worst scripted come-backs in the history of all mankind (probably the result of Atari keeping their writers locked in cages, feeding them only bread and Red Bull), this probably one of the worst attempts to appear "bad ass" ever. Now you probably have one or two to share, so please, feel free to comment...

CONDEMNED 2, WHY SO CRANKY ETHAN!
We understand you were driven insane by some freakish cult, kicked from your job and lifestyle, suspected for murder and hunted down and finally left on the streets to live your life as a bum only to be called up by the people who fired you to come back into action and take revenge or something. *Breathes*

His stupid one liners and asshat bad attitude are annoying, if it wern't for the gore i'de skip the cutscenes.

Anything from Baird in Gears of War. I loved the game, but everytime he spoke, it made me a little sad inside.

 

[Gapperjack]

Anything that comes out of Ding Chavez's mouth. Finding out that I had to play as that tosser on the X-Box version of Rainbow Six 3 was a huge disappointment. On my mate's PC version he never even made it into any of my teams. Ex-CIA? Big deal. If I'm making a counter terrorist team I want former SAS.

Halo, it made me cringe every time Master Chief said anything, since it was always some stupid self-promoting one-liner.

Someone who pulled off the badassery, however: Sergeant Cortez.

"Give me the stone!" (Lord Voldemort lol)
"I don't have your stone and fuck you anyways!"
XD that's so bad it's awesome!
Um... I really can't think of anything but "I'VE GOT BAAALLS OF STEEEEL!" Was that suppossed to be bad ass or just a joke? Either way I love it!

It's from Duke Nukem. A legend.

Oh God, so many - but I want to pick the person in the middle.

Solid Snake - yeah, sometimes he is AWESOME AND SOO BADASS OMG! Then...then he just says something stupid. With the amount of dialog in MGS series, there's plenty of both.

Also I know DMC is supposed to be all shlocky and have some "anime flare" to it, but I still think Dante is the least badass badass ever.

Yeah I know who Duke Nukem is. Argh where's my brain?! Damn I need to play some of his games and go to bed right now.

For total failure - it was intentional, but that didn't make it any less grating, Brucie. There was no mission where I didn't want to kill the fucker.

Brucie from GTA 4? Yeah I had really hoped that I would've got to kill him after all that crap he put me through, but alas, maybe I'll invite him out for a game of darts then wail on him with my baseball bat *sadistic smile*.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Oh, Uncharted, Nathan Drake, he doesn't have a lot of failed attempts or anything, hell by todays standards he hardly tries to be badass, but when he fails...he fails hard.

 

[kanyatta]

Any line ever said in Army of Two. Seriously... "fuck-o's"?

Just because a game is M-rated it feels it needs to have the f-word 200 times or it isn't cool enough. Swearing in video games is usually a step in the wrong direction. I can't recall a time where swearing actually made a game better.

I stand corrected: I forgot about Duke Nukem.

Nothing other than that though.

 

[unholy vagrant]

Dante from DMC. Everything he says screams punk-*****, not badass.

Wait a minute. You can pick your team in the PC version?! I dismissed Rainbow Six as having Jumped the Shark after playing the horrid RS3 on Xbox, and never looked back. What else have I missed? Is there also Rogue Spear style Mission planning, and kit loadouts? I might just have to pick it up somewhere.

Sorry for getting off topic, I'll stop now

I'd say a lot of Ace Combat 5. The voice acting turns the story into one big narm.

The game Overlord has some parts where they try to be badass and funny at the same time. They usually succeed in being funny but not at being badass. It's more fun to be the bad guy in that game than I thought it would be. It's going to be even more fun to be the villian in Force Unleashed I bet.

Personally, I find Duke Nukem to be completely obnoxious and stupid beyond belief. Don't even say "But that's why it's funny!" It's not. It's just dumb.

Just putting in my two cents.

Ok yeah I better start running, shouldn't I?
