NO PIE FOR
Gordon Freeman
Link
Master Chief
Leon Kennedy
the lame action-hero types
CHERRY ON THE TOP FOR
Trilby (come on people! I thought this forum had its priorities!)
Threepwood
Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth
Jade
Cid (sure, everyone hates the FF series for its emo protagonists. But supporting protagonists, like Cid in FF7 are pure awesome, and pure vulgarity)
The Demoman and The Heavy
D0G (fits in pretty well with the speechless R2D2/Wall-E crowd)

wtf... r u 6 or somethin? quoting spongebob...The Iron Ninja said:
as for my fav char Im gonna have to say the chick from Portal, she never talks which adds so well to the twist in the end. Her and Crash Bandicoot, idk y,i just think he fucking awesome lol.
Oh and the team from battlefield bad company, lmao the quotes in the game r the best ever.
If you're going to hate the great and powerful spongebob, at least have a follow up statement that doesn't make you look like an illiterate moron.StickManRampage said:
Way too many acronyms.
lol i know you're joking but GOD even to joke and call him a real character...Richard Groovy Pants said:
Keanu Reeves has more character in his left toe, and everyone knows Keanu reeves has the acting personality of a plank.
I think even samus has more personality than Master chief
P.S how quickly do you think i would get banned if i start up a MC vs Samus thread? tbh i am actually interested how it would fare on Escapist, because the majority of people here arent blind idiotic fanboys (I think)
oh, and i haven't played it, but i heard the main character from Disgaea is hilariously great.
As for my own character...lets get exotic and go for V.I Gorky from original war. Yeah, lets see how many people even know what frickin game i'm talking about!
Personally, I reckon Marcus Fenix from GOW is the best protaganist because I can really relate to his struggle to exterminate the Locust hordes.
...
On a more serious note, I think the fantastical settings of most video games often unfortunately prevents alot of empathy and connection between the gamer and the protaganist. And really, how I see it, the best measure of a protaganist is his/her ability to conncect with the gamer.
It is therefore unsurprising that good protaganists are most often found in plot-driven adventure games in which the gamer and the protaganist are experiencing the same sense of...adventure.
Something like that.

I own that game and I love it. I got it in a little discount package called "good games for 20 bucks or less" or something. It had a very weird CD case when I bought it, and the CD was just a red and white generic lookin' thing like Screamer 4x4's disk. But yeah.
The game was utterly badass with the crazy time travel shit, and I thought gorky was fucking hilarious too; did you ever play the american campaign? You would have one of the females start buidling a structure and they say shit like "I'll give you a nice erection!" It's hilariously bad.
Anyway, the Russians were the campaign I got the farthest in, but I'll be honest here, I never beat it. I remember getting past the level where you create your own huge base with automatic turrets and an upgraded factory and such which is something you come back to later on when it gets attacked...
And I remember the Iranians(?) The yellow guys with dune-buggy lookin' vehicles? Haha. No matter.

Nice Top-Cat avatar.
Surprised no one has said Duke Nukem. Surprised anyone remembers Kyle Katarn. Surprised no one mentioned "THE GODDAMN BATMAN." Etc, etc.
I don't know who my favorite is, as I don't even know what my favorite game or games are. Perhaps I'll go with Jake Logan from Tachyon: The Fringe. Or perhaps Christopher Blair from Wing Commander. (3 and 4 specifically, though it is implied he's also the guy from the first 2 but when you actually played those, there was no indication of this.)
I'd probably choose between Marty Alencar from Far Cry 2. (A Spanish badass who has balls big enough to remove a bullet from his arm with nothing but pliers, a knife, fuck loads of matches, and his own two fingers.)
Or Doomguy from Doom (Simply because he can carry a massive load of ordinance and run a marathon, and one of those guns is the BFG 9000)
Then I would give the third place to my character from Fallout 3, because I can wreck anyone's shit with my Tesla Cannon.
Then there's Soap MacTavish...

I've got three.
I guess I'll call my favorite Luke from Tales of the Abyss. Sure, he's an ass at first but he goes through some major developments and actually becomes a hero that you're proud to play as.
Ragna from Blazblue is awesome too. He's just got that cool guy look on top of being a half-vampire cyborg that eats people's souls. I like his fearless attitude too.
Finally the list just has to include Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes. He's such a quirky unlikely hero but it works for him. It is my sincere hope that he'll be in the next Smash Bros.

Eddie Riggs, badass ************.
Also Kratos and Ratchet and Jak and the guy from the original Guitar Hero.
