Characters you reckon have literally ZERO fans?

[Beldaros]

Hitler?

I was in college with somebody who's idol was seriously Hitler. We thought he was joking at first, but he wasn't.

 

[Strategia]

Anyone from Earth 2160. ANYONE. Seriously, Laurel & Hardy are more believable as real characters in a serious drama than the Earth 2160 people.

 

[Beldaros]

Every character in Team Fortress 2.

And Gaz from CoD4, I've never heard anyone talk about him even though he's awesome.

Gaz? you suggest Gaz as a fanless character. Everybody I know loves all of the original SAS characters GAz being top of the list. The americans on the other hand...

 

[Fraught]

definitly this guy.
unless youre gay, you might like him if youre gay.

Spoiler

THATS A GUY!!?!?!?! thats just disgusting

When you thought it was a girl at first, didn't you notice the distinct lack of boobs?

 

[Beldaros]

Hmm...
I'm going to go with Elika from Prince of Persia (2008)... or possibly...

You lose. I'm a fan of Elika.

Cloud from FF7 how could ANYONE like a flat no personality character?

I could. I'mma fan.

I'd say, The Penguin ala, Batman.

Spoiler: image

I have yet to see anything redeemable about a short fat man with an aristocratic complex. I can hardly imagine any Batman fans go nuts over him either.

It's because of these character flaws that he has is fans. I like penguin. He is fucking evil.

I too hav met a similar chap. And im not joking, niether was he.

Believe it or not, ive seen people fanatical about Eartyh 2160

[Soxafloppin]

Slippy Toad from Starfox.

But who else could tell you to do a barrel roll :O

 

[purplecurtisimo]

that asshole in the church in left 4 dead.

 

[benoitowns]

the worldbuilding mice

 

[Soxafloppin]

Agreed, Very forgettable.

the worldbuilding mice

After googling that, i heartily agree.

No, that thats what a developer thought was a guy.

If you cover the distinct lack of boobage with your hand, it is most definatly a woman.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Jar Jar Binks?

Wrong. I liked him.

Now Navi from OoT...she was beyond annoying

Holy crap monkeys Batman!

I thought for sure we could end the thread with Jar Jar. Every other option on here I can see a fan for. Hell, I have a special place in my heart for Navi, that lil' fairy has saved my life so many times.

So, I have to ask, if you honestly think Navi has no fans.....

WHY DO YOU LIKE JAR JAR??? THIS IS TEARING AT MY BRAIN!?!!!

*resists urge to go total fanboy and list every reason to thoroughly despise Jar Jar*

Perhaps this is a never ending quest for the illusive fanless character

Otacon from the MGS games.

Spoiler

When you are as bad ass as snake, why like a nerd that tells things you already knew were there.

he looks a bit like David From Shaun of the dead.

Oblivion's Adoring Fan.

Well played sir.

Evan from GTA:tBoGT?

Massively forgettable. Good Choice

 

[Zorg Machine]

Berethor, Idrial, Morwen and that rohan guy from LOTR the third age.
hadhod and Elegost were fine though.

Slippy Toad from Starfox.

But who else could tell you to do a barrel roll :O

uhm that was Peppy. the joke for Slippy would be, who else would ask you over and over again to take care of the ones behind them.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Slippy Toad from Starfox.

But who else could tell you to do a barrel roll :O

Peppy. Because, you know, he's the one who says it.

YOU HAVE LOST 15 NERD POINTS.

Oh, anyone from gantz; I hate them all, specially the annoying girl and the long haired dude, who was like the good guy or something, i dunno, he was boring and i hated him. Serously though: EVERYONE.

Spoiler

Yay for them both dying!

Believe it or not, ive seen people fanatical about Eartyh 2160

Well, the game itself was pretty good, I enjoyed it. And it somehow manages to look very good without lagging like hell (most other recent (for a certain definition of "recent") RTSes lag out the wazoo with graphics settings resembling 1998). It's just that the characters were so horribly written, and the voice actors were worse than I have ever heard.

Here's a dialogue example (with a massive explanation stuck in front of it). Some of the details may have been blurred by memory, but the general tone has managed to stick. And stick. And it will not go away. No matter how many times I scrub, it will not go away![/LadyMacbeth]

So the story goes that one of the factions (run entirely by women, except for the 13-year-old super-genius (with the voice of an 8-year-old and the character model of a 50-year-old)) unearthed some viable aliens and were trying to experiment with them, only to have the experiment go awry, so now the aliens are trying to kill everyone. (Also the Earth has been blown up, and some government conspiracy is trying to keep the existence of a paradise planet a secret, while an underground movement is fighting for the truth. I've eaten popcorn that was less corny.) One of the characters, a tough military commander who acts like she just walked off the set of Sex and the City, is arguing with her superior, who ran the experiments and who is trying to keep the fiasco under wraps. (*cough*popcorn*cough*).

(taunting voice) "And what were you planning to gain, you old cow? A new type of beauty cream? An anti-aging solution, perhaps? (switch to bitchy voice) Or were you trying to conquer and oppress us all?"

Or how about the major or something from a stereotypically Orwellian government? The complete lack of any kind of remote indication of effort to convey emotion in lines he delivers under fire ("Hell's bells, MY blood!") is unbelievable. I was actually glad to see him taken away to be executed at the end of his campaign. He deserved it. (And not just because of the atrocious voice acting. Usually, when you're supposed to cheer for some representative of a repressive regime, there are SOME positive qualities about them. This guy can only be described as a complete and total lack of any kind of characterisation whatsoever. I've got no more emotional attachment to him than I do to the random grunt I can recruit for $zilch, whose only purpose is to die in large numbers.)

I eventually deinstalled the game because I just COULD NOT bear the absolutely atrocious excuses for "characters" any more. I simply cannot fathom that anyone could honestly like them, at all.

 

[Kamaitachi]

Though this may sound obscure, Rosh Penin from Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy.

Spoiler

Dude has an annoying voice for starters, then tries to kill you, then pretends to be normal, then turns evil and then has the guts to beg you to save his pathetic life! And if you kill him, you get the bad ending!

But, I loved Rosh

and the voice actor for him does tons of voices for video games.

Theres no doubt its a fun game.

But as you stated the characters leave a distinct taste of 'meh' in my mouth.

Eleven pages in before someone says it? Fine...Lelouch from Code Geass literally has Zero fans.
