Gordon Freeman. Flying the flag for action-nerds.
If a physisist can take on an entire alien army and keep quiet about it, I don't see what's not to like.
Saw this one coming.

Say who your favorite protaganist of a video game is and why.

Haseo (duh) .hack//G.U. vol.1-3

Unlike other J-RPG protaganists, Haseo starts out as a total dick, he insults the other characters in vol. 1, (but then he stops being like that)
He can summon the avatar Skeith, and Skeith is a total badass. He has a kick-ass variety of weapons such as his dual knives, big-ass broad sword, scythe, and dual guns.
His outfits are totaly awesome.

1st form


no form Skeith: he didnt have skeith until his second form

2nd form:


Skeith, 1st form:


3rd form:


Skeith 2nd form:


Haseo Xth Form:


Skeith Xth form:

Maxi from Sword Calibur. Not because he's badass or looks cool, but because he's kicking the asses of swordsmen with only nunchuku. That takes balls.

Isaac Clarke - Dead Space

Why? I'll tell you why:

1. He fights off zombies.

2. He fights off zombies with absolutely no help.

3. He fights off zombies with absolutely no help, using only mining equipment.

4. He fights off zombies with absolutely no help, using only mining equipment, and as a result finds out...

It wasn't worth it at all, because his crew mates he came with and his girlfriend are all dead and the only thing he managed to save was a ship full of dead people.

5. ...he then proceeds to simply shake his head in sadness, and beat the crap out of a tenacle monster the size of a blimp before just popping on a space ship and going home...

...and then he quite possibly dies. By his girlfriend. Who he failed in saving. Who is now a zombie. Ouch.

Point being, he does all this and proceeds TO NOT GIVE A CRAP AND GO HOME.
First off, it might not have been his GF, he might just be insane, because, if it was his GF, he would be dead.

secondly; he has help, he is told what to do, where to go, and etc, and as for, no help killing the aliens (THEY ARE ALIENS, NOT ZOMBIES), its too freaking easy, i think the aliens were trying to help me by going *wink* *wink* i sure hope you dont realise THIS IS MY WEAK SPOT!!! HINT HINT

thirdly; its more than just mining equipment, there is an ASSAULT RIFLE.

fourthly; i wanted isaac to die, i did not care for him at all. its hard to care for a character with the emotional range of a lump of cement

fifth; Because, he was REALLY, going to stay on the ship, infested with aliens, ANYONE WOULD GO HOME!!!

sixth; he cares, watch the opening cutscene again, he re-watches the clip of his gf/wife like a billion times according to random chick on the ship wit j00

ISAAC IS A WIMP.




WESKER IS MUCH COOLER

YAY FOR WESKER.

(His dodging of bullets, being bad ass in general, wanting to like kill everyone, and being the BEST BLOODY CHARACTER EVAR, in mercs mode in RE 5 makes me say that he is best, i dont care that he isnt the main character, he is the main EVIL character, so, yeah)

For one, the Assault Rifle blows. It's actually the worst weapon in the game, so I just used the mining equipment.

Secondly, I liked Isaac caring. If you read his logs you'll learn he's absolutely bricking himself because he's being attacked by zombies (I refuse to call them aliens when they look like humans with pointy wrists, and dead). Also, near the end, he doesn't care. At all. Not even in the slightest. He finds out his girlfriend is dead and just facepalms himself. He's more shocked when the tentacle monster pops up really. (That might sound strange, but he'd fought weirder looking things and hardly flinched).

Thirdly, 1 third of the his help is smushed to pieces by a huge zomborg, the 2nd third is shot. In the heart. And well, I won't spoil what the third does, the spiteful little strumpet.

FOURTLEH, I loved the fact Isaac was human. The only non-human thing about him was his mutenes, which in his logs he puts down to "Not having anything decent to say". And, well. His ability to get gored in the face and just get up and walk away.

Solid Snake, along with his alter ego "Clone father" Big Boss (aka naked snake).

I mean he took down a 200 foot tall nuclear equipped walking battle tank with nothing but a bunch of shoulder fired rockets... about three times now.

I mean this guy and his genetic lineage have taken on the toughest bosses in gaming history, often beating them with the most rudimentary equipment like hand grenades against an M1 Abrams tank, a measly pistol against the greatest sniper in the world and even a knife against a flame-thrower wielding cosmonaut zooming about on a rocket pack.

Other fights are less fair like using remote controlled rockets against an opposing sniper

...

Even when he got old and decrepit he still fought on, though he hung around in the cut scenes a lot more. I can just imagine it:

Meryl: "Well, it only took me 4 minutes to explain you next objective now run off to your next task"
Old Snake: "Err, well I, phew-"
Meryl: "Are you getting old snake? If you want a rest..."
Old Snake: "NO! I just, well tell me more about err, you know, what's happening, exposition wise"
Meryl: "aren't you in a hurry?"
Old Snake: "oh no, I've got about another 20 minutes"

Kain from the Legacy of Kain series. Pretty much a quintessential antihero. Raziel was badass as well but too forever to even realize who he was as a character, thus too flighty to one up Kain.

I am also fond of Oda Nobunaga from the Samurai Warriors series. Awesome combo set and power and just had an appeal as a leader to me.

Other than that, I don't tend to get into main characters that much. Sure I like Alex Mercer and Altair but their appeal is formulaic so they might as well be the same person if you actually compare their way of thinking. I prefer games that let me design a character anyway and I tend to hate Jrpgs, especially the FF series, with a passion. The only exception was Disgaea 1 & 2 and I didn't care enough about the main characters not to replace them with all sorts of monsters and humanoids.

I'd have to say the player character in Saints Row 2, because, to quote Yahtzee:
"They're in this for the same reason you are, to have some fucking fun."

WTF
I've played them and they're fine but I prefer the original series.

As for the topic at hand: Most recently Yuri from Tales of Vespreia, He doesn't whine about his problems the goes out and kills them.

Also Terra from FF6, She was just a girl looking for a purpose besides a killing machine.
