Hardest Game Hero

[Nerdfury]

So I'm curious to know who you all think is the hardest game hero. The guy that's just so hard, he oozes testosterone and pure awesome. The kind of man that Chuck Norris wish they could be.

My pick would have to be Kratos. This guy not only killed the God of War, but as a mortal, he can leap off of the back of a flying pegasus a thousand feet up, onto the back of another flying enemy and breaks its neck, then leaps back onto his pegasus without really even noticing it's actually there.

Is anyone harder than this? Does anyway beat Kratos for the manly stakes? Show me.

Duke Nukem. He shoots up aliens, making references to Bruce Campbell, and at one point, literally takes a dump on a dead enemy's face. That's just bad-ass.

Captain Falcon.

FALCON PUNCH!

(it's not actually Captain Falcon doing the kick in that video, but that pretty much IS a Falcon Kick)

There is no hair under Captain Falcon's helmet. There is only another Knee.

Snake. Solid Snake.

C'mon. It's right there in the name.

Garrett from Thief.

This isn't even a competition. Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden) takes the gold.

When you get bitten in the head by a demon, thrashed around by the neck, thrown into a stone wall, and fall into lava and still get up to fight it, nobody beats your coolness.

Gordan Freeman, he could steal Bruce Campbell's one-liners, bur chooses to stand mute and beat ass with a crowbar.

Oh, so true!

Damn right. Plus he fights not for the good of the world, not to get the girl or to prove that he's awesome. All he wants to do is kick ass for being wronged. You do not cross Ryu Hayabusa! Dante's probably a close second, followed by Ryu from Street Fighter. I'd like to see a fight between Kratos and Ryu Hayabusa. Ryu would kick his ass, but it'd be damn entertaining.

dang, i agree with two people here, for me it's a tie between duke nukem and lo wang. i think lo wang wins because while duke has mighty foot, lo wang uses a katana in a first person shooter which is a total "fuck you" move on his part. not to mention the tied up nude tomb raider. easy win. gordon gets sliced in half

I must be the only one that played BERSERK on ps2 and Dreamcast. Guts could make god piss herself.

 

[JakubK666]

Marcus Fenix anyone???

 

[sammyfreak]

Even if the DMC Dante is extremely cool, he isent nearly as awesome as his namesake Mr Dante Alighieri.

Marcus Fenix anyone???

Ugh, Tidus is harder them that twat.

 

[The Reverend]

Pfft, none of them holds a candle to Dizzy Egg. When he goes hardboiled, nothing can stop him.


..Or was that Chow Yun fat..?

Is that Sword Of the Berserker that you mean? I played that on the dreamcast a while ago. Main character with a huge sword? Loads of random qta events?

 

[monodiabloloco]

Well, kinda an odd take: The knight from Ghouls 'n Ghosts.
That guy may not have been the toughest, but he had big swinging steel plated testes. To go against the minions of evil knowing that:
a. your armor F! sucks.
b. you will die at the slightest touch without your armor.
makes you one brave MoFo.
Seriously, my real vote would be for Dirk the Daring from Dragons Lair.

 

[Thanq]

Nah...JC Denton from Deus Ex. The hardest man evar. That guy ends up taking out massive government agencies and conspiracies with his trusty (stolen from a badass-security scientific facility) Dragons Tooth.

Knuckles the Echidna. Anyone seen the "Awesome the Hedgehog" toon by Egoraptor? And he frequently swears in Sonic Heroes!

Captain Falcon is also good. You can solve anything with a Falcon Punch!
