Most Badass Video Game character

[lokiduck]

I consider this a mighty fine loop hole but considering there was a video game...

Spoiler

Because he's just that awesome XD

The Freeman is pretty awesome. He only needs a crowbar to kill aliens, not some overblown assault rifle.


Oh, and of course... Barry Wheeler, from Alan Wake.

If im ignoring other M, Samus takes the cake imho; she blew up two planets on her own, exterminated astronomical number of ennemies, all more powerfull and epic than the last.

I like Dante's style from DMC1 too. Just cool.

-edit: how could i forget?! Garett from thief. He is awesome.

Firefight is pretty much nothing more than a clone of Gears of War's Horde mode or Left 4 Dead's Survival mode.

except that marathon, (halo's predecessor) had a survival mode back in the 90's so it's really just more of a rehash of a system they invented

The easy answer is Kratos. But for an even bigger badass, I would go to Auron.

 

[dragonslayer32]

Either Captain Price or Jorge from Halo Reach

I simply don't understand how people can think Kratos is badass. I mean, he certainly has the bad part down, and he is definitely an ass, but he's just not a badass.

Being badass requires more than just dumb muscle, it requires virtues, like bravery. If you're a dead-inside, death-seeking, or reckless beyond rational logic, you're not brave, you're just a mindless killing machine.

I just googled "badass" and I found this "badass: troublemaker; one who is rough, tough, mean, or, sometimes, violent"

I think by this definition, Kratos is clearly the perfect example of a badass character.

How could you forget this guy?!!

Spoiler: WHY?!?

Introducing Jack from Bioshock!!!

 

[faspxina]

The most delinquent of all badasses!

Am I right?

To pull a quote out of context.
"Did you see that?! I am a monster truck that walks like a man!"

GLaDOS. nuf said

 

[RadioActiveChimp]

That's right meatbags

 

[Kenko]

Cole train baby!

Really? My other choices are more badass than him.

But he's got guns, chainsaws, actual humor, AND the voice of TERRY FUCKIN' TATE.

Kratos may kill gods, but the Cole Train does that with no effort.

Actual humour? All he does is run around and shout nonsensical ebonic-babble and is nothing but a black stereotype on 'roids.

 

[Hiken no Ace]

I'd have to either go with Dante from Devil May Cry 3 and 4, or Date Masamune from the Sengoku Bassara series.

 

[Michael Logan]

Duke nukem or serious sam gets my vote.

 

[Marowit]

Solid Snake would be my vote.

And Captain Price, from CoD4, is pretty badass too, but MW2 made him a little cliche for my taste.

 

[AndarielHalo]

General Shepherd and Vladimir Makarov. You don't even need to ask why.

 

[The Rookie Gamer]

Master Chief, or Noble Six, who also saved the universe in a way(play the game, and you'll see.)

But most of all, this video shows the true badass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRwJQ3FcdG4&feature=player_embedded

He indirectly saved Noble 6, who indirectly saved master chief, who saved the universe.
