Most annoying kids in a videogame?

[Sneaky Paladin]

That troupe of brats from Twilight Princess.

Hated their voices!!! AGGG

voices? they only talked in text WTF. I don't notice sarcasm if there is any there.

I hated the goddamn little lamplight kids. They told me the gate leads to certain doom where the monsters are why not let me just freaking go then? Why guard it from me going in if they hate me anyway?

 

[ae86gamer]

The little kids in Fable 2 were very annoying.

SHERRY BIRKIN!!!!!!! I HATE HER, or Ashley Graham

Also this ^. I hated Sherry!

 

[doctorvsmaster]

OOOO i know... lets hid in a vent a make claire go chasing after me... dumbass

 

[Xcelsior]

Fable 2 you can never kill them, Arrrrrggghhhh!!!

 

[Kailias]

Sonny in MGS4.
I just couldn't comprehend the meaning behind her egg-cooking antics. Was it meant to represent something philosophical?

I think it's spelled Sunny. But yes it actually does, the one I remember off the top of my head was when she cracked an egg with a double yolk (ment to represent Solid and Liquid as twins)and a burned one on the side (Solidus dieing).


As for annoying kids I'm going to be unoriginal and say any kids from the Zelda series.

 

[Grayjack]

Those brats in Little Lamplight. Never before have I ever wanted to kill something so badly.

 

[paragon1]

Every kid in any game ever.

I agree... and on another note; who the heck recruits kids to join a rebellion, an army or some other resistance movement in computer games.
I mean take infininite undiscovery for example (or any other similar game), what kind of leader in their right mind would recruit children to fight in a resistance movemnet that would result in death or certain doom?

Isn't it obvious? Children are the only people too stupid to sign up for these things. There's a reason almost all suicide bombers are young uneducated men

I don't know, i find the "young but growing" archetype doomed to fail because people just aren't willing to put up with some naive little twat to wake up and realize whats going on. If your going to do a "growing" archetype do it like they did in Valkyria Chronicles with Isara. A pity in that game though.....

I think they did that with Karol in Tale of Vesperia and made a great kid character.

My vote goes to either everyone in Little Lamplight in Fallout 3 or Cooke and Mack in Lost Odyssey.

I don't understand why I have a gun that shoots nukes and I still have to persuade a kid to open a gate that looks like it's made of two sheets of tin. It's a shame too because the city is one of the biggest and most interesting looking, yet everyone in it is so annoying. And Cooke and Mack... God, anyone whose played that game will know.

Oh, this is soooo easy. Mick and Mack of "Global Gladiators" fame. For those of you not old enough to remember this abomination, it was a vertical and side-scrolling platform game for the Sega MegaDrive / Genesis.

First, consider this: one was black, one was white and they were identical in every other way - same sprites, same animation, same powers, same abilities. This might be excused if it included a cooperative two-player mode and you needed to tell the characters apart, but unfortunately it's a one-player game. (Wow, that's deep. You can choose to play as either a BLACK character or an identical WHITE character. With affirmative action like this, I'm surprised racism hasn't already been solved!)

Secondly, they're ambassadors of MacDonalds. (Want to promote racial harmony and childhood obesity in one lump sum? Here's a videogame that'll do it! And people wonder why they have such a bad reputation...)

But if that's not bad enough, consider this in gameplay terms: the damn kids couldn't shoot straight. I mean that literally - their goo guns had a range of about a fifth of the screen and would only shoot in arcs. We're talking a serious contender for "most useless weapon in gaming" here. It's worse than the damn crowbar.

Oh, and not only could they not shoot straight... they often couldn't look far enough to see whether they were jumping onto a platform, or into a slime pit. Terrible level design or supersize coke-induced diabetes? You decide!

Thread over, I win.

The creepy ass kids in Fable 2 that just stand in the way of every building, room, road or whatever that you're trying to enter/leave.

Eh, they made weird noises when they talked. I hated those.

 

[Diablini]

Little Lamplight without a doubt. They insulted me and just wouldn't die. They're kids, they should be more fragile then anyone else I've killed. *fires MIRV into little lamplight only to see the kids survive* DIE YOU LITTLE *******S.

Seriously, getting to the thing past little lamplight should've been as simple as using an assault rifle on a bunch of little brats.

I think there is a mod that allows you to kill children in Fallout 3.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

The 'Killer Bee Gang' in Wind Waker. They insult you more than any of the other kid characters in the Zelda games (in fact most of them think you're pretty cool), and two of them were extremely fugly. At least the Bombers in Majora's Mask had the decency to hide in plain sight and reward you appriopriately but these little brats just don't give you a break!

Also, Narcis Prince in Super Punch-Out. He ties with Bald Bull for the most annoying victory taunt in the game (and unlike Bull you'll likely be seeing it a few times before getting the hang of him).

 

[A random person]

Any child who plays games online (yes, it's a stereotype and there are some children who are quite nice online but now I'm an adult I see it as my duty to give the next generation the same shit I got for playing games as a kid)

At least you know it's a stereotype, and that's better than a lot of people here. Ending the cycle would probably be good, though.

True, ending the cyle would be the best option provided that every (I'm going to be generous and use the term 'venerable') gamer out there did the same, I am only one man after all (and thus my influence overall is somewhat limited).

With this in mind I might as well just enjoy the cheap thrills of petty revenge on someone who never actually did anything to me in the first place.

True, my solution is very idealistic, to say the least. I'm just going to say on one hand, one man can make some difference in a few games, but on the other, I'm not going to deny that it's fun to insult people.

 

[Pennyy9]

The kids in Lost Odyssey were quite important, as in they gave Kaim motivation to save more mortals. He now had Mortals around him that he cared about. but anyways, It has to be any kid from Fable 2 or Fallout 3. You can't kill them, which is increasingly stupid.

I have the xbox 360 version
