The Top Ten Hardest Game Characters

[GreatVladmir]

Kane, I mean, come on, the guy gets hit by a fucking Ion Cannon and lives, he is rock hard, you would not mess with Kane, nobody messes with Kane.

The hardest game character ever has to be Shadow the hedgehog. He's spiky, has guns, is fast, and shoots Sonic!

But the most badass character ever has to be Dante from Devil May Cry. I mean dude, he fights a 200' tall giant mega uber statue thing and still finds the time to take the piss! Although I do think he's compensating for something with that sword of his...

Marcus Fenix: Dude, chainsaw assault rifle... do I even need to say anything else.

Dom had one too...and Cole..and Baird..and...oh, all the COGs had one.

I think you do have to say more, otherwise he's just your grizzled space marine. (but John DiMaggio voices him so that's pretty damn cool.)

Master Chief: Not sure that I give him the badass/hardest award, he probably gets more of the most Efficient Killing Machine Ever; But not really the badass material.

You have offended every fibre of my being with this statement. Master Chief is most certainly NOT the most efficient killing machine ever. Samus almost wiped out an entire species, and dismantled the Space Pirates organization several times, before Master Chief came along. Mario has butt-stomped more annoying midgets (Goombas) than MC could ever dream of (those damn grunts). How many thousand moblins, stalfos, and octoroks has Link put to the sword before 2001? Master Chief has only had three games worth of homicide...whoopidy doo.

Nico Bellic: Russian, mobster, street racer, assassin, ladies man, avenger, and... he has a permanent 5 o'clock shadow. Enough Said.

If the poll was for "Biggest Dirtbag in Gaming", Niko would certainly be near the pinnacle. However, I hardly consider him "tough". Ladies man......you make me a sad panda

Marcus Fenix: Dude, chainsaw assault rifle... do I even need to say anything else.

While I agree that Marcus is fairly tough, it's not the Lancer rifle that does this. You seem to be drawn to what makes a character "cool", and not what makes them "tough". Marcus, and the other COGs for that matter, are tough because they don't have an energy shield like Master Chief. When he gets shot too much, Marcus flexes his abs until the bleeding stops. I'm pretty sure he's actually sewing the wound closed with barbed wire, but the camera doesn't angle that way for you to see it.

Actually, according to Wiki, no-one here fits.

According to the all-mighty wikipedia, hardness is "characterized by a disregard for local law enforcement, a familiarity with illegal drugs and weaponry, a criminal record, and aggressive tendencies when it is felt that personal territory or livelihood is being threatened". Doesn't really fit any of our characters any more than any other videogame character.

If that's the definition I'm going to have to go with any of the protagonists from GTA.

no one here have mentioned 47 from hitman? the bald killer clone that even being practicly a alopecic with a bar code in the head, is capable to sneak into heavily secured areas and kill people without no one to notice including a USA vice-president

 

[FireBlade_2049]

My vote goes to Sarge from the Army Men games.

No, I am not joking, he DESERVES this honor.

 

[broadband]

ah i remember army men games, not very well designed, but a good idea

 

[Shfoosmuck]

I guess, technically, Hardman from Megaman 3 would be the hardest character.

 

[Hellion25]

It has to be Mask de Smith from Killer7. Dude headbutts a bullet out of midair. Thats pretty damned hard in my book.

And that wiki definition of hardness sounds like it was written to describe your average chav, though it forgot the bit about when you lose a fight you get 10 of your friends to back you up so you can look hard again.

 

[SilentHunter7]

The DOOM marine.

RIP AND TEAR!!!

 

[Stok3dJ]

Either:
Hunk - Resident Evil 4: Who else shoots zombies in the face, spins them around, and snaps their neck like a tooth pick... just to make sure. Also? Gasmasks are fucking badass.

The Guy From Doom: Kicks the ass of the army of hell, then kicks satans ass, then goes and fucks up the Nazis... "Nuff said"?
-OR-
The Pointman - F.E.A.R.: Slow-mo ass kicking rocks my socks...

I would say MasterChief... but he hides in a Tin Can, Kratos? He is a god... if any one of these real men were given "God Status and Power" they would rip him in half like a phonebook, or link cause he kills copious amounts of demons and bitches... but he is kind of a ***** himself...

 

[wewontdie11]

Can't be anyone other than Duke Nukem, I mean he has balls of steel AND he would rip your head off and s*** down your neck without hesitation, while shooting aliens in the face.

That's pretty hard if you ask me.

 

[Writerling]

Wait, I have MORE!

Solid Snake
Alice (Google American McGee's Alice. Fuquen sheweet!)
Jack (Wit' his Plasmid Poppin' skills, y'all!)
Kaim Argonar was pretty hard. Although he came from a JRPG, his hair was not spiky, and he was pretty sweet...
Master Chief (Need I explain?)
Raziel

As said earlier (but for "Samus" instead of "47") - I wouldn't choose "hard" as the adjective - more like "deadly".
