Moira from Fallout 3. She's just so freakin' chirpy, and thanks to the lame character models her face was always a slab of dead meat with eyes like bulletholes in a refrigerator.
AND THEN, you go ahead and nuke Megaton thinking "well, she's done for now". But she isn't, is she? Noooo, she's a ghoul now and will probably live for another eight hundred years.
Thank god you die at the end of the game.
Agreed, and the rewards she gave you for her missions were outrageous. She might as well have told me to kill God with my bare hands and awarded me peanuts when I achieve the feat. That hokey voice of hers actually made me mute the game several times.
Anyway, I would like to induct more deserving characters to our Hall of Shame.
The
Mortal Kombat series went dead in the water with their transition to 3D. And with that came some of the most lame and unimaginative bosses ever.
-
Shinnok- A boring Satan archetype who wants revenge on the pantheon of
Elder Gods. All his moves are stolen from Shang Tsung, a boss people actually like. Oh wait, unlike Shang Tsung he can only copy other people's moves and not morph into their persona...EVEN LAMER!
The Dragon King- Some Deus Ex Machina villain that everyone knew of but came absolutely out of nowhere. Wait... it didn't come out of nowhere, it came from Ed Boon's ass. He is ugly, purple and looks like something drawn by an eight year old whose imagination was built entirely on the foundation of Todd McFarlane comics.
Blaze- You knew something was wrong with the series when the new archvillain has a name a lame as Blaze and is simply an elemental villain. I tend to dislike elemental based characters on principal but this one is just one molten pile of shit.
I mean come on they started with the awesome
Goro, an enormous dragon and man hyrbid who has four arms ready to tear you four new ones. They had
Shang Tsung who was a sorcerer who once fought on the side of good, has lived for thousands of years and steals souls to live and gain power. Then came the previously behind the scenes Emperor (taking a page from Star Wars)
Shao Kahn whose cheap moves in MK3 made me break a PS1 controller in anger. Now those are cool characters!
In retrospect, it seems as if Akklaim commited some twisted form of dark magic with their famed series. Some fucked up alchemy where the developers transmuted gold into shit.
