Have you ever played a game were the main character is so stupid and horrible that you start to hate him/her.If so did you stop playing or try and kill him/her on purpose.
Agreed. Cloud is obviously retarted, Squall is annoying, and Tidus chose Yuna. I mean, Tidus' tendancy to over-play the 'amnesia' is aggravating. Vaan is...Vaan.notsosavagemessiah said:Just about every FF character after FFIV. Minus zidane, he was tolerable.

Shion from Xenosaga. God, is she a *****.
Hate... Squall... so much. I don't particularly like any of the FF protagonists, but Squall is probably the worst one. I have nothing against having an emo character in a game, since it could make for an interesting experience, but in an RPG you should be able to choose what your character is like: they shouldn't have to be emo. Especially with Squall, who spends pretty much all of the game whining and/or brooding.dstryfe said:Squall is annoying
Oblivion had a character? I suppose you could sort of project yourself into it, Gordon Freeman-style, but the only real choice you had was whether you were a really nice guy or a complete bastard. It's not as if the character had any personality or anything.Trivun said:That bastard in Oblivion. God, I hated him...
I didn't like any of the Gears characters. Marcus is an idiot, Dom is a bigger idiot, Baird is irritating and has a terrible voice actor, and the less said about Cole Train the better. God, I hated him. He was so obviously being groomed to be a fan favourite, which really irritated me because he was horrible! If you're going to create a character specifically so that people will like them, you can at least have the decency to do it well (see Minsc and HK-47). I'm not sure that Epic are able to create likeable characters.krement said:I hate the guy in Gears of War, Marcus, why are his supporting cast so much cooler than him and why did they kill of Kim at the earliest opportunity for a character less tollerable than Marcus?
I dunno, I reckon he was better in the second one. Something about the drunken, unshaven, hobo just screams "BADASS" to me.scnj said:Ethan in Condemned 2, because of how much they changed the character.
