Characters you like that others don't.

Lots of people I've talked to seem to dislike Chuck Norris for some reason. It's not like he's a mean guy or anything.

My beef with Chuck Norris is that, for a while, he was all I heard about, so I got bloody sick of him. He's not a mean guy, no... and he's pretty badass. He was just brought up too often.

Tails pisses everyone off, but I was more likely to play as him than Sonic. If I ever bring him up, my brother goes off on a rage fit. Not sure why. If you also hate Tails, please fill me in on this one?

Naoto Shirogane gets a lot of flak (particularly in my circle of friends). Her and Hawkgirl from the DCAU.

Really? Naoto is hugely popular among the general fanbase. See: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Naoto_Shirogane

OT: Conviction Sam Fisher. People complained about him looking too old and not having as many fancy maneauvers, but I thought the slightly older look made him look cooler. Then again, I generally think videogames should try adding some cool characters who are over 25. I mean, look at Auron: greying hair and undoubtedly the most badass character in FFX.

I guess people hate the character less than the show but I'm a huge fan of Kira Yamato from Gundam Seed. He's hands down my favorite Gundam pilot.

Really? Because I thought Kira was a good pilot. Sure, not better that Char or anything, but I liked him. I hated Destiny though. SEED was great, however.

As for me, Yukari Takeba, from Persona 3.

Sure, she's one massive *****, but she's also a lot like a girl I know, who also happens to be a bit of a *****. Both are nice, a majority of the time, however.

Yukari was the most realistically flawed character in that game. Who hated her? :/

Oh I have nothing against Chuck Norris the man, but I absolutely despise Chuck Norris the Internet meme.

I actually didn't mind Navi which seems to be the antithesis of what other people thought. Sure I ignored her most of the time, but never found her annoying.

Yeah me too. Sure she could be a little aggravating early on in the game by giving unskippable tutorial info that any idiot should be able to figure out, but after that you can just ignore her.

 

[Diablo2000]

I really liked Mission in the first Kotor... Not known that many people who like her...

Ashley Williams. But honestly, it's mostly because she gave me something to look at during those elevator rides. Yep, I'm that shallow. (I mean have you seen the back of that armor?)

That one too... She is not as interresting as Tali, Wrex, Liara or Garrus... But she was still less boring that Kaidan and not a that bad of a character herself.


And yes, the back of her armor helped... A lot... I am that shallow too.

 

[Drakmorg]

I'm gonna go with Grunt. I don't hear many people actually saying they don't like him, but then again I don't hear many saying they do either.
A lot of people just seem to think of him as a forgettable replacement-Wrex, but I think he's pretty interesting, not to mention a pretty useful team-mate.

Really? I think Mission is awesome

I don't know what characters other people don't like so that makes this hard...

Mabye Nico's cousin? I like bowling

 

[Furious Styles]

The Little Lamplight kids.

Both "D'aaaawwwww" and "WOW" combined in one interaction. I can't wait to have swarms of people do spit takes at this post.

I wanted to shoot the little fuckers, but the game wouldn't me so I had to content myself with nudging them over the edges of drops.

 

[icyneesan]

Luke fon Fabre in the first half of Tales of the Abyss.

U Mad tales fans?

 

[Drummie666]

Apparently a lot of people didn't like Moira Brown. To me, she was by far the best thing about Fallout 3.

 

[bl4ckh4wk64]

Yay first to mention Ashley Williams in a non-shallow context!!

Yea, I liked the the most from the whole game. Mostly because she seemed to be the most realistic and have some of the best characterization in the game. I mean, the reason she was suspicious of alien species (Note: SHE's NOT RACIST/XENOPHOBIC) is because her grandfather was the only man to surrender to an alien species, thus keeping her and her father from ranking up in the Alliance military. That's a very good reason. Not to mention that she's a much deeper character than Liara, Garrus, Wrex, or Kaidan, if you talk to her.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I like Junpei Iori (Persona 3/P3 Fes/P3P). Mostly cause he reminds me alot of my best friend jake.

Usually he's the character that most people dont like (at least from the protagonist side).

Wait, people complained about Sam Fisher having LESS maneuvers? This is the guy who can climb up walls like he's spider man FFS!

Cyclops, for being the leader of the X-men he def gets a lot of haters cuz everyone and their mom always sides with Wolverine

And Ryu from Street Fighter, idk ppl view him as a beginner character and what not but his been my favorite Street Fighter since SF2 first came out so i could care less if that's what ppl think now

 

[supermariner]

Easily the best thing in GTA 4 (okay fine, the best fat, Serbian, compulsive lying thing in GTA 4) was Roman. He gets lots of hate for obvious reasons if you've ever played it
But to me he was much needed comic relief,
the series has taken a more realistic and harrowing turn from it's usual ridiculous mindless fun
and Roman was, to me, a reminder of how silly and warped the whole thing used to be
Sure, GTA 4 was still pretty good
but thats not really my point
my point is that I loved Roman

 

[Vault101]

I dotn see why everyone hates Desmond miles from AC (though I havnt finished AC2 yet)

I mean he's not THAT bland, hes jsut like a normal guy thrown into an abnormal situation......

though thats not always a good thing, kinda feels like one of those charachters (like neo from the matrix) who doesnt actually have to work or earn their awsomeness, they get it handed over to them on a silver platter

and it got me think theres no reason why desmonds charachter couldnt be female...(though I guess it would be weird for them "channeling" a man..but I dont really know how the animus works)

but yeah I dont hate desmond miles

I didn't mind him during cut scenes and story-driven missions, it's just when he'd call up asking to go bowling or to dinner while I've got four wanted stars and half the LCPD (all I did was shoot a hooker in the face and run over a cop tying to arrest me) on my ass, then get pissy when I say no.

Brucie, on the other hand, had next to no redeemable qualities at all.

Actually, Desmond is not getting everything handed to him on a silver platter, at least not as of AC Brotherhood. If you read e-mails sent between the other teammates, they point out that Desmond has been screaming in his sleep a lot and there are other clues that Desmond may be loosing his grip on both the present and reality.

 

[NnsNightshade]

Garlick Jr. from DBZ <3 -- The ONLY successful villain, so haters need to stop hatin'.

Alhazad from Wild ARMs <3 -- He's frickin' sexy, I don't care what himself or any body else thinks.

Tingle and Navi from Zelda -- Why people tend to not like them, I have no idea. They're cuuuute.

Wire and Bandiger from Thousand Arms -- Both adorable in their actions, even if one is a little too insane and another too feminine for most people's tastes. I also like Ratchet, even her voice, which most find annoying.

Zorn and Thorn from Fail Fantasy 9 -- Game series blows, they are amazing. Period.

Dark Cloak from Super Adventure Island <3 -- Another sexy as frick guy who doesn't get enough credit or is just hated in general.

 

[Weskerbot3000]

Jill Valentine from the RE series. Most of my friends hate her due to the fact she is always being bailed out at the last minute. (Note: this is pre-RE5 Jill). but in all honesty she's not that bad of a character plus she was on my MvC2 line up. But fuck Capcom for fucking her up in MvC3

Should have had the "Child At Heart" perk. It takes Little Lamplight from "Annoying Hellhole" to "Best Location In Game".
