my votes for dante
Dante isn't Dante.
Dante Alighieri was a poet.
Dante, in a video game, is a knight who goes to kick ass and chew bubble gum. BUt since he's wrong, he automatically fails.
Just like if someone took A Song of Ice and Fire and made a movie that ignored all the political intrigue. It fails by ignoring the original.
Besides, Duke is still awesome.
that logic would make sense if dante WAS ACTAULY BASED ON THE POET

And I quote,
"EA are making a video game based on Dante's Inferno, the first in the trilogy in the Divine Comedy."
Divine comedy is hyperlinked to...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Divine_Comedy

So, you're right. My logic does make sense, because Dante's Inferno IS based on the poem, which is essentially a self-insertion of his own moral code and religious journey.

It fails, because Dante was learning a lesson in humility and faith, not in ass-kickery.
dante from devil may cry
A ha.
Well, he still fails.
Duke is still better.
As is the Vault Dweller.

Since the all-mighty Duke Nuke'em is nowhere to be found of the list. Voting is pointless.

I nominate Leroy Jenkins.

Alternately, Sam "Serious" Stone, Doomguy, Lt. Caine from Quake, and so on.

I voted Dante, though, because of this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65s3dMKzMqc].

Dante is there as a joke, right? True, he is a Bad character an he is an ass, but not a BadAss.

wait, wait, wait.

duke would probably be number 1. but if you want a recent hero, where the hell is chris redfield? it doesn't really get more current than that.
id pick wesker over chris
I'd pick HUNK over both of them.

But Samus Aran wins the intergallatic bad ass award for outstanding contribution to kicking arse.

To me, bad-ass ≠ accomplishments.

It means the ability to laugh in the face of danger, fight on even with the most ridiculous wounds, strike fear in enemies at the mere sight of them, and take on the most absurdly powerful and/or numerous enemies while being cocky about it.

Not every character listed has that. Cole can laugh at enemies but they're not afraid of him and in the end, he's just a soldier. Secret Apprentice pulled down a freaking star destroyer but no one fears him and he's not really all that cocky. Master Chief may be a one-man army and the enemy fear him at fight, but he's never cocky about it (and shouldn't be, he's a soldier) and his bad-ass lines are few and far between. I don't even know who Atlas is.

So my rating goes as follows:

1) Dante: yes everything he says it cheesy and ridiculous, but that IS bad-ass
2) Kratos: close second. He should be more cocky. After all, he has killed numerous gods by now
3) Master Chief
4) Cole Train
5) Secret Apprentice

?) Atlas

Am I the only one who finds Kratos to be an idiot? Don't get me wrong there's great entertainment value to be found in the GoW series, and it's a solid game... but when I watch Kratos I cringe at his stupidity.

So far his arrogance and lack of foresight have gotten his family and village killed, his boss killed, Athena (an ally of sorts) killed... himself killed, his powers taken away. God of War? He's the God of Stupidity.

Again, it's a good series, but I can't help but see him as an idiot.
