[Woem]

I looks like the Final Fantasy series really know how to create a compelling female huh... It's almost science. Weird science.

 

[Xaositect]

Bah, I say do you what you want. People will tell you its not "normal", but if anything is evidenced by the world we live in, is that "normal" is mostly a matter of perspective.

It can hardly be any worse the the well accepted "normality" of loving and being loved by some man-made god creator.

Do what you fucking like I say.

Kilik from the Soul Calibur series. Mainly on the physical level, but I could understand why he was a little bit whiny because:

Spoiler

He slaughtered his entire freaking temple! Including his "sister" of sorts![/color]

Other than that, he's just hot.

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

To love a video game character is a bit messed-up and weird.
To think "a girl (or guy) like that would be really sexy/cool/interesting" is fine. The ones that fall into that catagory for me are Ivy (soulcal), Rayne (Bloodraybe) and Sheva (RE5).

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Zoey from L4D.

 

[iron codpiece]

Im not sure how to feel about this. I once heard a kid say he was in love with Amy from the Sonic series.

Furry! Run Away!

Chun-Li all the way. I like my women like I like my chicken: greasy, asian, and with giant thighs. Although I would call that more of an attraction than love. As she had the personality of a pingpong ball.

Okay, that didn't completely make sense.

 

[matnatz]

Hmm, ashley in Mass Effect was quite attractive in a wierd way...

 

[MasterMuffinMan]

I think for most people it's more of a "would do, if they were real" sort of thing. Mine would be Ashley Williams from Mass Effect.

 

[Nobodyman]

The only video game character I have ever felt any personal connection with is Farah from Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. She just seemed like the kind of person I would date in real life.

Now If only I could get my hypertime reality acellorator working, I could summon her into the real world.

 

[Katana314]

Not going to name anyone in particular, but I will say it's easier when it actually sounds like a woman wrote the lines for the character, as opposed to, say:
"I want to have SEX with you, player!"
Yeah, nerds are generally desperate, but not so desperate they're completely clueless and idiotic.

 

[Spirit_Of_Fire]

I thought that woman from mass efect was pretty hot, not the alien one but the human one, cant remember her name as I haven't played Mass Effect in ages.

 

[Flap Jack452]

I thought that woman from mass efect was pretty hot, not the alien one but the human one, cant remember her name as I haven't played Mass Effect in ages.

I guess, but she was really annoying. Her name was Ashley.

 

[Jade Rotaski]

"Well the fist vid game charecter I ever crushed onw as Sephiroth from Final fantasy 7 XD I get cryshes for vid game charecters and catoons and Animke all the time but no actual love XP

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

No, sorry. You love family, you love friends, and you love life partners. But you don't love, or fall in love with, video game characters.

 

[Sarahcidal]

Damon Baird from Gears lol I would totally hit it

 

[traceur_]

Sexual attraction is ok, hell, it's weird to not bonerise over Rachel or Rikku, to quote Khell_Sennet: "I'd hit that so hard, he who pulled me out would be crowned king of england." but actual love? no, no that's just creepy, seeing as the character cannot reciprocate in anyway, one would be stuck in the same situation as Narcissus.

 

[gremily]

I believe that it is totally normal. Just don't tell your friends.

 

[Cylem]

I pretty much hero-worshipped Sho Minamimoto from The World Ends With You for like, a year. More recently I've found the characters in Avalon Code, particularly Duran, friggin' adorable. Nothing more than just the-desire-to-hug-them-if-they-were-real-kind-of-way, though. XD

In junior high, I was a massive Shadow Link fangirl from the Legend of Zelda: Four Swords manga.

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

I believe it's impossible to love something that cannot love you back. This argument comes up alot when talking with "car guys" too. You can passionately enjoy working on it, but if it cannot love you back it's unhealthy to invest such strong emotions in a digital representation, or in the case of the car guy, an inanimate object.

I love my daughter, I love my parents, I loved my wife up to the point we decided to get divorced. But a video game character, no matter how engaging, is never anything more than a collection of polygons and data and while often worth respect or admiration if the programmer has done a good job, love is simply too strong an emotion for such a thing.

While I mean no offence to the topic creator here, my guess is if you're "in love" with a video game you have no concept of what love truly is or should be.
