MSN's '20 Most Annoying Video Game Characters of All Time'

[Mister Swift]

He missed the commentator from Kinect Sports.

...not that I've played that, or anything.

 

[bartholen_v1legacy]

So... he's basically saying that every single pokemon in games is one of the most annoying characters ever? Besides, most of these games are current-gen, so the twat who made this shitty list obviously knows nothing about the history of gaming. And where is Tidus? Or any other 'male' JRPG lead character?

Another thing that takes the credibility off this list is that there isn't even a mention of those GODDAMN NPC'S OF OBLIVION!!!!!!!!

 

[Thaius]

"The character of Jacob Taylor was a rare miss in Bioshock's galaxy-spanning saga."

Uh... yeah, credibility and respect already lost.

EDIT: Wait, CORTANA? You've got to be freaking kidding me.

EDIT 2: Wait, FARAH? One half of one of gaming's greatest romances? Just because she talked during gameplay? No freaking way!

EDIT 3: Wait, SPYRO? What, did they only start playing the games on the PS2?

EDIT 4: Wait, NAVI? Wait... actually, that one makes more sense than any other choices on the list so far.

Sigh... that was... torturous...

Oh man that was funny. Not because it was well written, witty, smart or succinct, but because it was sloppy, un-edited and obviously just whinging.
Of all the characters on that list, only Ashley and Navi were legitimate, and they're probably only on the list because Mr. Tom Perkins heard about them on a gaming forum he found himself in after he strayed wayward from MSN.com.
Seriously, Tom? You're going to criticize Spyro for being a children's game character instead of a deep, emotional, 3-dimensional character straight off a script of Poirot?

I'm not exactly sure how he even got this job, but it is MSN.com we're talking about here. For shame, sir, for shame.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Embarrassing, poorly written article. Don't like their top ten lists at all.

 

[Nuclear Pancake]

Now that i think about it about it Jacob did seem cold and not even the cool, brooding cold of someone like Thane, just boring.

 

[Leemaster777]

Wow, that list was AWFUL. A good chunk of the picks in there make no sense, and he left out some really obvious guys, like ClapTrap.

Also, this:

He chose Nico instead of Roman? Jesus fuck what was he smoking when making this list?

Well said.

 

[pixiejedi]

That list was indeed crappy. Most of them shouldn't have been up there, but he misses characters like Hope from FFXIII and that blasted dog from Duck Hunt. Stupid dog always laughs at me, the bastard.

 

[SonOfStayPuft]

He chose Pikachu and Tails?!?

Pikachu might have had an annoying voice, but it was also cute at the same time and you wouldn't have messed with the little electric mouse!

A great little sidekick that gave Ash a little bit of coolness.

He missed out Barry Wheeler from Alan Wake.Now HE is an annoying whiny character.

 

[Sephychu]

This page is a sterling argument for not reading articles on the MSN website.
However, there was no argument for reading them, was there?

and he left out some really obvious guys, like ClapTrap.

I love ClapTrap! I think I may be the only one...

 

[ABLb0y]

Wheres Bella from Siren Bloodcurse? Why did i have to escort her, when she (Spoiler Alert) Dies anyway?

 

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

Uuumm, Jacob has daddy issues, so I would understand why he has a broom stuck up his arse at times, and Farah acts like a real human being and not a cliche.
COD multiplayer, I agree, but Niko Belic? NO.
The rest is so-so, but I don't agree with the whole list.

 

[Sigmund Av Volsung]

That list was indeed crappy. Most of them shouldn't have been up there, but he misses characters like Hope from FFXIII and that blasted dog from Duck Hunt. Stupid dog always laughs at me, the bastard.

Yeah, I expected the entire cast of FFXIII too.
I don't think that guy did his research, instead, he just went on forums, methinks.

 

[Treblaine]

Nico Bellic but not Roman? His calls BROKE THE GAME! He is the reason Saints Row is arguably a better game, why NO ONE missed going to the Wild West in RDR with the absence of mobile phones.

Also confined for failure putting Ashley Bush from RE 4 ahead of Raiden in annoyance.

Eh, for the most part this list is terrible. I'm not usually one to make this sort of snobby comment, but...I really think this person doesn't know much about games. Calling Bioware Bioshock? What even.

And, seriously, no Cedric from King's Quest V? No Vanille? *insert enraged scream here* RAAAAR VANILLE!!1! Just the mention of her name...

Really, those are obvious choices. Especially Cedric. I mean, just listen to his voice:


No. That's not some random youtuber. That's his actual voice from the game. :/

"Look out, it's a

[HEADING=1]POOOOOOISONOUS SNAKE!"[/HEADING]

 

[elcamino41383]

Really? The beggars are annoying? How about the bards, not only in Assassin's Creed games but any game that includes bastards who get in your way and play crappy music on a mandolin?

Or the lepers with the super strength?

OP: This guy is an idiot. I pretty much only agree on the beggars, Navi and Farrah. After recently replaying SoT, I learned to really hate her. She got in my way quite often and gasping every time I took a longer jump was obnoxious too.

 

[RowdyRodimus]

That list was indeed crappy. Most of them shouldn't have been up there, but he misses characters like Hope from FFXIII and that blasted dog from Duck Hunt. Stupid dog always laughs at me, the bastard.

I was hoping someone would mention Hope. Without Hope on a list of annoying game characters written after 2010 it's a failed list.

 

[erto101]

I agree with the beggars. But Spyro was my hero when i was i kid. *sad face*

 

[Sun Flash]

He put Farah on there? He best be trollin'.

 

[LordXel]

So Niko is annoying because he does what people want to see him do in a GTA game? Almost every CoD player. Yeah that's the same as almost every Halo player. Was this meant to be a list of the most annoying fictional game characters? Or a list of the worst things in gaming? Luigi? LUIGI?! Yeah, crap list.
