Your most hated game character

[Z(ombie)fan]

Blackbird from strife: quest for the sigil.

she tries to be funny but isn't, but worse yet: she is completely useless, and in a way a plot hole given physical form. she basically tell you what you need to do, but she talks WAY TOO FUCKING MUCH OTHERWISE GOD DAMNIT WOMAN SHUT UP.

also, by the end of the game, she falls in love with you, even though you never talk to her and she probably has no Idea what you look like until the end where you two have the most awkward to watch makeout EVER. (also how the shit does she get to the underground alien spaceship so fucking fast? I mean, the alien is dead, but its woman-killing worshippers are still fricken all over the place...

Rikku from Final Fantasy. Seriously, everytime she speaks I want to mash my controller through my head! She, and many other Final Fantasy characters, is the reason I abandoned the franchise.

Seriosuly, how can ANYONE be so incredibly optomistic ALL OF THE TIME?

Maybe I'm over reacting here?

I played x-2 for like, less than hour.

she is 16 right? 16 yr olds should not act like fricken five your olds!

 

[TheJulz]

Fucking Kilik from Soul Calibur.

Seriously why is Kilik so ridiculously overpowered?

I should mention that I don't hate Kilik as much as I hate people who try to defend Kilik's blatant balance issues. I have no problem if you play as Kilik and understand that he is overpowered though.

I feel the same way about Zasalamel.
I mean, come on...

The flood from halo and every damn npc you have to escort in any game

 

[SconnieHack]

NPC survivors in Left 4 Dead 2. First off: Clear my goddamn line of fire! Secondly: I pumped 30 rounds into that goddamned Charger and Ellis gets the kill? Ellis?

Basically every character that you meet in the first hour of Final Fantasy XIII clunked heads in the doorway of this thread for me. And I say first hour because that's the grand total of time I played that game. I hated EVERYONEEE, even fake Kurt Cobain.

noooooooo, you have to give them time to deveeeeelop as chaaaaaaracters!!!!!

those guys are cool, but i never liked leisure suit larry. what a dick.

 

[brainamp]

Arcturus Mengsk. Rescue him in one game for him to turn you into the galaxy's most hated person in the next

 

[Death God]

Navi. Pretty self explanatory. I used her once or twice in Orcarina of Time and NEVER used her again after that. So damn annoying.

Dom from Gears of War, went from badass (Gears 1) to this whiny *****. The WHOLE game he whines about his wife, yes that's a moving thing for sure, but this is a shooter where everything is supposed to be badass and chaotic. Now after doing something insane, cue Dom to start crying. Carmine should have lived and Dom should have died.

I get they were going for more story in Gears 2, but they fell flat on their face especially with Dom, seriously.

Spoiler: Gears of War spoilers!!!

well the Anthony and Benjamin Carmine are like the red shirts from Star trek they always die. But in the 3rd gears of war game people have(or had depending if the contest is still going) to save or kill Clay Carmine(if you seen the screen shoots of him look major badass unlike his other 2 younger siblings) and don't forget D.Carmine as well.

Dom only had one thing motivating him for the past ten years and that was his wife "Maria" it was the only thing that kept him sane. When E-day(Emergance Day the day the Locust attack Humanity) happened 15 years ago before Gears 1/2 he lost his two kids and parents not to mention Maria became suicidal.

Cole still writes letter to his dead Mom and Baird was forced to join the COG(Coalition of Ordered Governments) to get his family's inheritances and marcus lost his mother when he was young and his father is presume dead. So Dom wasn't the only one suffering but he was the only one had a remote chance of finding his love one unlike the others

I hope this helps you understand Dom a bit better now.

I understood plenty well prior, but that doesn't change how they show him in the game. I get it, it's emotional and all that but he never stops with it. It's a very action heavy game, and he's the one who keeps harping on about it.

Ripley from Aliens is VERY emotionally torn up by the loss of her daughter, and that shows through amazingly well with Newt. They have ONE scene showing her crying over her daughter and one scene crying with Newt. The rest of her emotions and feelings show through her actions which is far more impacting than talking about it constantly.

Dom never stops, he's relentless and it drains the mood from the game. Every scene he's in he goes on about his wife. And...spoiler warning.

Spoiler

It's not like his wife being tortured and looking beat up was hard to see coming. It was either that or she was dead and it was obvious what was going to happen when he saw her in that state.

Carmines death was FAR more moving because it truly did suck, he survived all that and was doing his best despite being so green he couldn't reload in the beginning. And he died and just wanted his family to know he'd be okay. And it fit even in an action game like Gears to have someone die in such a sad way. It worked and you truly felt it.

Dom was not well written in that game, there's a difference between emotional distress and whining and he was doing a lot of the latter.

 

[Drakmorg]

Carth and all the other "New Carths" from Bioware games.

Carth was a whiny little shit.
Kaiden was so boring and useless there wasn't a single moment in game that I used him past where it was necessary.
Alister was also useless and pretty annoying as well.

At least they were all pretty terrible party members so I never had to suffer from leaving them on the ship or at camp all the time.

Hopefully their ditching of Kaiden for the majority/entirety of Mass Effect 2 will stick and they'll let that archetype die.

I would have to say mine is Resetti from animal crossing.

that little arse ruined so much game time, it just made me want to switch the game off again and never play it again.

so whats your most hated game character?

To be fair, if you didn't reset your game so much, he wouldn't take up so much of your time.

OT: Rikku from FFX. Not only does she serve little to the plot, she's also annoying as hell. Her voice is irritating, she takes up way too much screen time, and it's quite disturbing how Square made a few fan-service moments with her. She's 15 people!!

An hour is more than enough time. I give way less time to real people.

But Carmine wore a helmet to protect his head like a silly person, so naturaly he MUST die. As for me, Bayonetta, I never actually played the game but i just dont like what she represents which to me is the appealing to the lowest common denominator in the gaming industry (which is this case would be shameless, immature sex appeal) and dont gimme that "its supposed to be absurd/ironic" crap

I think it's more about Bayonetta being camp...I thought the same thing but the DMC gameplay and the silly nature of the cutscenes really makes for a strange and interesting game. ..With a character with legs longer than you are tall.

 

[Fusion the Cat]

The dog from Duck Hunt, of course.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

Capcom, please stop putting this...thing into the Ace Attorney series. I beg you.

im not hip what does "being camp" mean

 

[GeneralChaos]

Elanee from Neverwinter Nights 2. Creepy stalker elf who complains a lot is not an interesting party member.

 

[phoenix_tetsu]

Fucking frog from Starfox

You guys clearly don't play jRPGs because the current crop has a whole bunch of aweful characters you just want to strangle. Star Ocean: The Last Hope has such horrible voice acting that almost all the characters in the game are more annoying than any one mentioned here.

The worst by far is the little girl (Lemel or something like that) who literally ends every single sentence with "mmkay".

Anyway, I think I'm quitting jRPGS forever because I've only found one this generation I really liked (Tales of Vesperia), although FFXIII wasn't too terrible.
