8 Super Annoying Videogame Characters
- Thread starter ffronw
- Start date
Also worthy of note: Three Dog and all the crappy music he played in Fallout 3, thankfully he could at least be killed.
No Tails or Amy from sonic? I don't condone animal cruelty, but those two need some serious time in the spinning iron maiden. As it plummets to the depths of the darkest ocean. On Titan.
Funny thing about the dog. There is an arcade version of the game that allows you to shoot the dog.

I REALLY need to snag a copy of this game for the catharsis effect alone. XD

An honorable mention should go out to the Adoring Fan of TES IV: Oblivion.
Also, most of the cast of Final Fantasy XIII.
But anyway, I was surprised to see Natalya on the list, not because she doesn't deserve it, but because I completely forgot about her. Remember how she gets mad and refuses to help you disarm the doomsday satelite if you shoot Boris in his asshole face? That's why I hated her.
I need to play Goldeneye again.

It's amazing how many really annoying characters there are to choose from. I had Tails on here, but he got cut. I could have included whole swaths of characters from Final Fantasy, because most of them annoyed me.SlumlordThanatos said:
I take umbrage at Ashley in RE4.
In all of the areas you had to escort here there was a dumpster or other object you could tell her to hide in. Whilst she was in there she was invincible/invisible to the enemies and you could clear the area in peace. Her escort was difficult only when you were doing it wrong.
In the new game plus you could unlock a suit of armour for her too, which made her invincible. This was brilliant since you could march her out into the middle of a horde of 'not zombies' and merrily gun them down while they fruitlessly pummeled away at metal Ashley. They couldn't pick up or move her in it too, wasn't in the Gamecube version though...

while I completely agreee, thems is fighting words to some people, it boggled my mind how some people bring up three dog as a positive for fallout 3.Xan Krieger said:
OT:
I agree with quite a few of these..
however there are annoying characters that I think actually are good that they are annoying. (personal one for me would be harbinger, annoying smug as fuck reaper.)
Edit: I called Navi a blue ball of like. Yeah, if she reminds me of Facebook, she definitely gets on my nerves.
There is a 100% chance I would place Fi on this list rather than Navi. Unnecessary and extremely out of place robot statistics speak? Check. Uncanny Valley facial features and animations? Check and double check for the "singing" scenes. Bombarding the player with patronizing tutorials and breaking the pace of a scene to state the obvious. Septuple fuckin' check.
Navi got annoying with the constant reminders to check out the clouds over death mountain and her voice clips got old, but I'll take the blue ball of light that is at least an okay character over the thing that looks like a Barbie doll with a a thick coat of blue spray paint, the arms ripped off, and was programed (by a goddess, no less) worse that those turn of the century chatbots.
Nintendo can't you go back to the sassy female exposition fairies, [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ExpositionFairy] please? Bonus points for any that have Hartman hips and treat Link like a beast of burden for most of the game.

I was with a group of friends years ago and my laptop played one of her sound bites. One guy flipped out with a 'Nam style flashback. Though I didn't plan it, I was suddenly filled with the kind of glee the kid in class who scrapes his nails on a chalkboard would have.snekadid said:
I actually think I have a mild case of PTSD from OOT thanks to Navi because just hearing that annoying fucking fairy makes me want to hurt things. Actually though playing OOT so much inoculated me from annoying things in the future because nothing, I repeat nothing could ever be as annoying as that fucking fairy *****. And Majora's Mask, I'm so fucking glad you end up wasting your time looking for that ***** and not finding her because if she did show up at the end, I would have declared that game worst ending of all time. Even worse than people consider ME3's ending. In fact it would have ruined the entire awesomeness that was Majora's Mask.
Thank you Nintendo for redeeming yourself with that.

OT; I think all the NPCs in TES games should count. The AI governing them is goddam retarded. I will circle around so I get a clear shot with a bow or spell, and they will put themselves between me and them, so I end up shooting them in the back. Then I get harassed by the guards for their stupidity.
The squadmates in the first Mass Effect. They will shoot the walls constantly if there is an enemy hiding behind it.
Ashley I can tolerate, you can dump her (quite literally) most of the time or just have her wait outside of wherever you're going in.
Again I feel inclined to mention that the people who find Ashley annoying are simply just annoyed with her personality, don't like escort missions period, or just suck at the game. Because the always famous 'Walks into a horde of *insert enemy type*' does not apply to Ashley one bit. She stays right on your heels at all time.
She's a silly character, sure, but you don't have to make up mechanical faults, because they weren't there. Just say she's a stupid anime girl with big ears and a shrill voice. Done.

An early quest centers around the guy (yes I know it's largely skippable with a speech check but it's before I have time to level up my speech skill, so focused on more survival related ones) and there's so few channels in the game. It's either him, the enclave, or I'm lucky enough to be near some story driven signal. Besides half the time he's on there he's talking about me and what a horrible person I am, it's enough to make you want to go down there and blow his head off.Aerosteam said:
Edit: Oh I know, the SHAMEFUR DISPRAY guy in Shogun 2 Total War, he's the reason I have voices turned off in that game. Sadly you never actually see him because if I could I'd have him executed.
