I won't do that. I'll just...Vlane said:Gordon Freeman. Yes I said it. Now quote me and tell me how wrong I am.
I don't remember him actually F'n with the doom marine...I remember him finding his corpse and being all "damn thats one doomed space marine" or something like that. But did he actually fight one in any of his games? From what i remeber the corpse was somewhat of an easter egg just laying behind a hidden door or something. I think..i dunno AGES ago.Dantes Alaska said:Duke Nukem fucked with the DOOM marine, so your logic is fail
but i would like to say the other vance bro you play as in Vice city stories
i liked the game but it helps alot if you think that marche is evil. i mean think like this. him and a huge crowd of ppl are trying to destroy the world and kill a kids (already dead) mother while parading across ivalice killing ppl... yeah and not to mention put his crippled brother (who can walk in final fantasy land) back in the damn wheelchair. marche is an evil son of a *****bluegriffin8 said:You guys want a character with no personality? THE POKEMON TRAINER YOU PLAY AS HAS NO PERSONALITY! I mean, I love the games and all, but still... Ugh. Just... ugh.
But the winner for the 'Worst Video Game Main Character' goes to none other than Marche, from Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced. Why? Because he wakes up in a Final Fantasy-esque world, and what does he do? HE WANTS TO RETURN TO REALITY, and the only way to do that is to basically traumatize one of his friends.
Marche, you win my mega-douche award, because I didn't think that it was possible to find a video game character who was a bigger prick than Sora...
The chick from Heavenly Sword, hands down!Terramax said:Hi Guys,
Just came across this site and I'm quite simply shocked about how anyone could expect a game with such a lame main character could sell anything.
Just Look:

I thought, nah, it can't be that bad. But then I saw the in-game footage of the guy:

Man, this character makes me soooo not wanna play this game. I mean, if the character were similar to Sonic the Hedgehog or something I'd be more than happy to play it. the levels look something straight out of Monkey Ball, which is a huge compliment, but damn this character just looks so, ARGH!
Sorry Cyan Worlds. Your Myst games were groundbreaking. But what were you THINKING!
Anyone care to share any other games with lousy main characters?

I think he ties with Tidus from FFX.pantsoffdanceoff said:The main character from FFXII (Vaan) contributed nothing and was useless.

It was unique, until every f*cking FPS started to do it.super bunny said:He is not a main character, he is you.Vlane said:Gordon Freeman. Yes I said it. Now quote me and tell me who wrong I am.
In order to make you feel more "in the game" Valve has given him no dialogue or personality. What you get out of the game is not filtered through the characters personality, opinions, or thoughts. It is just you, and makes it a very unique experience.
I shall now resist the urge to make a snide remark about this.super bunny said:He is not a main character, he is you.Vlane said:Gordon Freeman. Yes I said it. Now quote me and tell me who wrong I am.

Indeed. IMO Balthier should've been the main character...that would've been far more interesting.pantsoffdanceoff said:The main character from FFXII (Vaan) contributed nothing and was useless.
The only problem I had with how they did that was if they are going to make him a shell for me why not do what KOTOR and Mass effect did?super bunny said:He is not a main character, he is you.Vlane said:Gordon Freeman. Yes I said it. Now quote me and tell me who wrong I am.

THIS IS THE TRUTH! If you want us to become the character, a customizable character must be in process, while just doing stuff in the environment. Just think of it as the ultimate form of free-roaming games. Fallout 3 almost had it right until they gave you a father figure, which doesn't look like you to begin with.galletea said:I have to admit, I don't really see the point in most silent protagonists. How can you project yourself onto a character who's face, name and role in life has already been decided? I personally find it more of a barrier to my empathy for the character, since I have no real idea why the character is saving the world, except that he must be a mindless drone who does whatever he is told to do. So I don't get why people would empathise with the mute Freeman, yet scorn the faceless Master Chief, when the latter demonstrates a dry humour and a sense of purpose.
