Question of the Day, June 25, 2010



On the flip side of yesterday's poll, today we're going to be talking about female videogame characters. Which female videogame character is a heartbreaker?

Aerith Gainesborough broke mine. I will never love another video game character as much as I did her.

 

[comadorcrack]

Other. Princess Toadstool.
Always in another Castle...

 

[ScRaT_the_destroyer]

elexis sinclare, srsly, femme fatale personified

 

[PipBoy2000]

Alyx, obviously.

 

[pignoli]

Where's Jade?

 

[Plinglebob]

Zelda. I mean, she's such a cocktease to Link. He constantly saves Hyrule and he never even gets a peck on the cheek.

What a tease.

Why do people always beat me to the best jokes? Its not fair

Other. Princess Toadstool.
Always in another Castle...

Also this.

 

[Jackalb]

It was a hard one between Samus and Lara right there but I went with Lara in the end.

 

[Trivun]

Zelda. I mean, she's such a cocktease to Link. He constantly saves Hyrule and he never even gets a peck on the cheek.

What a tease.

Oh, Princess Peach is worse. She's much worse...

Also, why the hell is Yuna on that list? If I recall correctly she spends almost all of FX-2 pining for Tidus, she obviously does actually love him. Hell, that's the entire basis of the plot, right?

Jaheira BG2 you spend the entire game trying to get in her pants then bandidts come along and you have to pick to let her die (followed swiftly by a ressurect spell) or lose all your money and she never forgives you for it!

 

[Proteus214]

I would have to go with Samus. I think she's too much of a lone wolf, but apparently that might change in Other M.

 

[CloudKiller]

Morrigan. Why did you have to leave? I loved your bitchiness so much, Leliana had nothing on you. I will find you and our little demon child one day even if I have to search all of Thedas!

 

[jez29]

Other - Farah from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. She does some pretty reckless things, perhaps even cruel, but she's still a well-written character. And the ending is kinda tragic, but also hopeful.

 

[dthvirus]

Zelda. Poor Link always chases after her and he gets nothing in return.

 

[Frequen-Z]

Chell. Not only did she break GLaDOS' heart, but she killed her, tore her to pieces, and threw every piece into a fire.

That's pretty badass.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Lara. A proper English Rose.

 

[armaina]

Hey, Escapist.
"Which female videogame character gets all the guys?" and "Which female videogame character breaks hearts?" are two entirely different questions.

So.. which one is it?

 

[coldfrog]

Chell. Not only did she break GLaDOS' heart, but she killed her, tore her to pieces, and threw every piece into a fire.

That's pretty badass.

That was brutal, but I'm pretty sure they're setting their differences aside in the interest of science. Resilient one, that GLaDOS.

 

[Jared]

Lara...and all I can do is remember the scene with the texan in the first game...she dosnt just break hearts...but kneecaps too!
