Favourite Video Game hero's/villains

[Flour]

Hero: Alexander(FF9)
He got the best FMV for a summoned creature in any FF game. Alexander's FMV, obvious spoilers [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsYpasHUVc8&feature=related]

Villain: Kuja(FF9)
He's just evil. Sure, his backstory is nothing new, but he makes a mother nearly kill her own daughter, creates an army of slaves and corrupts Bahamut to kill the person that summoned him.(her?) He's also the best dressed FF villain you'll ever see [http://www.ffcompendium.com/chara/9kuja-s.jpg]

 

[Valiance]

Wow, this thread isn't offtopic.

That said, the Paladin from D2 is my favorite hero.
My favorite villain might have to be Xan Kreigor right now since I can't think of anything else.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Hero: Raz. Although he's more of just a protagonist. Hero's don't smash towns as giant monsters.
Villain: Ganon (he's the best I can think of right now)

 

[TheTemby]

Hero: Unnamed bioshock hero, he just all around kicks ass
Villain: Dr Breen, because hes a powermad genius, just like any normal man...

 

[Peach_hat]

Heel: Gary Ablett Jnr, AFL Live 2005

Face: Rocket Grunt, Pokemon R/B/Y

LOL!

But yeah,
James Bond in 007: Nightfire. His confidence borders on lunacy in every cut scene.

King K.Rool Donkey Kong 64. Mostly because he made me laugh.

 

[sylekage]

Heroes: I'm gonna go with tanya from red alert, cuz she's badass and knows how to fight
Villain: I'm gonna say the hunter from half life 2, cuz they are so hard to beat, but so fun to fight

 

[TheDustyBanana]

Hero: Glover. Because he's a fking glove. With a magic ball.

Villain: The Overmind from StarCraft because it controls the groove.

 

[Calax]

Heroes:
Gordon Freeman
Muradin Bronzebeard
Psycho
Shepard
Altair

Villians:
Sephiroth
Saren
Ansem
Alma
Shodan

Haha gordon freeman... muradin... nice. For villains, Arthas too?

I skipped arthas because he's basically Elric of Melnibon [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elric_of_Melnibon] with almost NO change to the basic plot (hero uses sword for good, then it steals his soul.)

 

[DoW Lowen]

I find many Villains to be... inadequate. No villain I find is ever complex enough to intrigue me. Most villains out there are simply evil... 'just because'. Either that or they are whiny and heartbroken so they destroy the world... bloody emo. A lot of heroes are like that as well.

But I will say Kain and Raziel from Legacy of Kain were exceptionally deep characters.

 

[rossatdi]

The One Free Man aka Dr Gordon Freeman

Bill, Zoe, Francis & Louis aka The Survivors from Left 4 Dead

Frank West (from Dead Rising)

Villains:

Knuckles (from Sonic 3)

Robotnik (from the 2d days)
pros: Imaginative, persistent.

Goldman (House of the Dead series)

cons: Has trouble verbalising his concerns.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Hero: The Prince (Sands of Time trilogy)

Villain: GlaDoS (Portal)

 

[Svenparty]

Heroes:

Saints Row 2 MC-Simply due to the fact he can become a tranny at a whim and his homies still love him.

Gordon Freeman-Pwns everything and is a scientist that rarely does science

Sergent Cortez-He's cheesy as hell

Tommy Vercetti- "Blame My Mom...I do"

Villians:

GlaDOS-"You killed your only friend the companion cube"

Andrew Ryan: Do I need to even say why?

 

[God's Clown]

Hero that turned villain that turned hero: Revan

Hero: Jedi Exile

Villain: Kefka - he poisoned the whole water source of a castle, pretty evil

 

[Bradfucius]

Hero: Arbiter

Villain: GlaDos

 

[Ultress]

Travis Touchdown as my unlikable bastard of a hero

I do consider Mithos from Tales of Symphonia a tragic hero

Yeager from Tales of Vesperia for his awesome voice.He is beaten out by Kefka who is pure crazy.

Honorable metion goes to the boss from Lungfishopolisin psyhconauts, his attack names are hilarous

 

[irishdelinquent]

Favourite Hero(es)

- Sgt. Cortez (Time Splitters: Future Perfect). He is a sardonic asshole, he makes terrible jokes, and all of his female counterparts are gorgeous....what's not to love?! Plus, he gets major points for being his own supporting cast member.

- Link. He doesn't spout off any annoying catchphrases (I don't consider YAH! to be a catchphrase). He doesn't ever complain about rescuing the princess. And he's never been in a bad game (disregarding those CD-i travesties, which don't really count).

- Guybrush Threepwood. All I need to say is insult sword-fighting.

Favourite Villain(s)

- RAAM (Gears 1). Unlike Scourge (who was horribly wasted in Gears 2), RAAM was actually an interesting character, and a hard boss fight.

- Sephiroth.....just kidding.

- Lord Bale (Dawn of War). SINDRIIIIIII!

 

[yourbeliefs]

Mother Brain and Dark Force from Phantasy Star 2 stick out for me. I suppose DF wasn't much of a villain per se as you never saw him until the very end, but he definitely deserves to be in the top 10 list of "hardest boss fights." Mother Brain was a typical example of the "Make a 'Utopian Society' but at what cost?" villain, which may sound common now but wasn't back in videogames in 1989. Of course there was something ELSE driving Mother Brain to do these things, but for spoilers sake I'll withhold that.
