Cesare Borgia in AC:B, apparently he's evil just because he wants to conquer Italy, ignoring the historical facts that show that Italy would be oppressed by foreign Austrian and French monarchs later on anyway so in fact it would've been a GOOD thing to conquer and unify Italy. Sure it would be oppressive but It'd be better for Italy in the long run.
In all seriousness, you shouldn't take it seriously, however the story takes itself seriously so I guess I'll chip in. The ending (ok it's a spoiler but if you went into this game for the story you should reconsider your expectations) was a joke, "I blew up the biggest oil reserve in the world [despite oil reserves generally being deep underground i.e. AWAY from the damage of the nuke] so that my nation doesn't go to war because a congressman wants to drive his hummer" taking out of the equation that petroleum is used for all plants we use to make clothes and grow food, so he's responsible for extended suffering of the world and the upcoming famine, as well as shutting off the fuel supply of the trucks that cart the food around so that even if we did have enough food to supply the populace with it would be very slow to get it across.
Other things that didn't make any sense was that if you are being chased you can still call in your black market support, generally any time aside from campaign missions, even if you're say in the biggest concentration of military in the country you can call him in and no one notices.
Oh I started thinking about that too but that thinking was drowned out by the screams the civilian I was dragging behind in my car.LarenzoAOG said:

It's kind of sad. . .not that it's the greatest book ever, but the official licensed novel, Halo: The Fall of Reach gives Master Chief a relatively interesting backstory and interesting charactersitics to work with. . .and the games exploit none of them.Drakmeire said:
Ash from pokemon. What a ******... Never beats a gym on the first try, only barely ever gets past them... High voice, idiot, annoying, not to mention, voiced by a girl, take everything "badass" about Red and turn it into the opposite.
Oh, and he has a hard time beating normal trainers.

I love that game to no end. I gained this message from it: If we can control cancer cells, we could determine what they grow into, thus making them useful. Alex's body sorta used the cells to make weapons... and he was just a douche.kman123 said:
OT: I hate every character in Brutal Legend. I just do, I don't even know why.
Dante from Devil May Cry.
I know some people love the guy- but when I tried to play the game he just annoyed the hell out of me. Dresses like a twat, voice of a prick, smug asshole of a personality and the game is just trying to convince me that he's cool and badass through elaborate, ultimately boring cutscenes that have no real depth or purpose to them. He's supposed to be stylish or something but he's just obnoxious. Then No More Heroes gave him a spiritual younger, childish and "hilarious" younger brother and Bayonetta gave him a spiritual obnoxious older sister.

The biggest dick in video game history is easily Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell. Sure the game was kick-ass but let me know if this sounds remotely cool. Wake up and worry about bills. Get in car and commute to work. Once there, pick up your gear and take the early morning shift. Talk to your co-workers. Find a body. Tell everyone but you can't call the police. See a shadow, go towards it. Find the lifeless body of Rick, the new kid. Freak out. See a shadow dart across a hallway. Yell at it and give it a chance to surrender. Co-worker next to you gets shot. Start firing your Mac-11 in that general direction. Get shot in the foot, then the neck. Bleed to death. And as the last drops of blood leave your body you remember that your daughter needs to be picked up in an hour... The End. Sam wins.
Peter Gruber.
The film kept his true motivation hidden for so long that it just became another trite manipulation in his non-sensical web of plot devices. His usage of the sibling mourning/rivalry dichotomy may have been just another twist of the screw but it came across as both forced and one step too far in the eventuality. Still an okay film, mind you.
Oh, games? The Bonus Ship from Space Invaders; what was that guy's deal?

Where's the Other M haters? Sigh. I suppose I have to do it.
Samus from Other M. People. It takes a LOT to offend me. But I was actually offended by this portrayal of Samus. And she still had more of a personality when she was silent.

No, Link wins (ocarina of time). This little punk ass kid runs around vandalizing private property, breaking and entering, trespassing, theft, larceny, first and second degree homicide (and I think there is some resisting arrest), substance abuse and commits treason... Wow, even Kratos can't claim all of those charges.emeraldrafael said:

OT: The Rookie from ODST is just horrible, and also the main dude in Bleach. Just so bland.
I've gotta second this. Ethan was a likable and decent guy in the first game. His personality, along with the rest of the game, went to shit in Bloodshot.The Floating Nose said:
Actually the Eldar are pretty big arrogant assholes. They would be willing to let an entire sector full of innocent humans die if it meant letting a handfull of their own survive. They care only about themselves and no one else. They constantly deceive other races to attain their own goals.SteewpidZombie said:
Also I wouldn't really call the Imperium "assholes", they just have to deal with so much shit they can't handle it and have to go through extreme measures to make sure their people survive. Even though that may mean sacrificing their own troops to inspire others and insure victory. They also make make a lot of paranoid decisions but you can't really blame them for being scared that every alien they encounter wants to burn them, slice them, stab them, shoot them or even devour them.
Also even though the Emperor may have complete control without him humanity would've been screwed many times and space faring would be almost impossible.
Luke Skywalker...
He F'd up reaaal good. Empire might have been a little pro-human racist, but at least the Empire achieved galactic peace for a short time. On top of that Luke's order ended up becoming a group dictatorship, so how is that any better than Palpy's dictatorship?
Hmm, or maybe Nikko Bellick (Or whatever his name is from GTA IV) he kinda messed up big time...
