Sorry but I have to disagree with you there. Olimar, Snake, and Luigi are all great chartecters if you learn to use them right. Also it always feels good wiping the floor with other people as they use to laugh down on spacesuit wareing radish throwing man.nathan-dts post=9.69498.663465 said:

Yeah...Doctor Arne Magnusson another survivor of the Black Mesa incident. Why cant they find anyone that isnt remotely connected with that place? Its either cousin of the brother of the father of Barney or something.Dragonfall post=9.69498.661888 said:
I really think Rose from MGS2 was really useless..unless making the codec calls long and about thier lovelife was their point.
Would it be legit to list all of the playables in chrono cross? I mean, I suppose at least three of the carbon copies are necessary to finish the game, but if you're going to have so many characters then at least give some back story. All you have are identical characters with different speech impediments.
Now, it's prequal...no complaints there.

most pointless character ever: The Superintendant from Silent Hill 4: The Room.
tries to open your door once, says a comment or two, leaves. Later, look outside your room and he'll be standing there looking puzzled at your door...And is never seen again.

Magnusson actually played a pretty big role in HL2 Episode 2. Unfortunately valve didn't develope him like the rest of the characters, they just kind of threw him at us.SomeBritishDude post=9.69498.661737 said:
PS Navi would have to be at the top of my list.
HEY! LISTEN!
I disagree. Although he is never mentioned before Ep.2, he is featured throughout the episode before you finally meet him in person towards the end. When he showed up, I immediatly thought "Oh yeah... that arrogant git who keeps telling me to hurry like I'm eight years old and late for school". That's pretty good character building IMO, the fact that I felt I knew who he was when I met him.geddydisciple post=9.69498.663984 said:
Besides, the same thing could pretty much be said about Eli. I'm not even sure he had a name in HL1, he was just the token black scientist.
Kind of out there, but the scholar class in FF3 (or any FF game for that matter). Let's see... Study enemy? (White Mage: Libra) Level 1-3 White and Black Magic? (Red Mage: Level 1-5, get him earlier). Best class ever.
You don't diss R.O.B he was the greatest peripheral ever.Dayne Gonsalves post=9.69498.664185 said:
Seriously I will hunt you down... look behind you....................... BOO.
you guys are forgetting EVERY NPC in guildwars... none of them seem to have lives (they just stalk you to EVERY BLOODY OUTPOST)
they don't have brains either, so when you're sneaking by a horde of enemies, they stop to tie their shoes, then shout "hey, big horde, we're here" and subsequently flee when attacked... makes me want to join the monster side
EDIT: I almost forgot... THE HEROES.. yeah, let's trade what little AI the standard NPC's had for CUSTOMISABLE SKILLZ... woo-frickedy-hoo

Well, mine's not exactly a character, but the 'bucket' in FF:Crystal Chronicles and therefore the 'bucket holder' becomes useless.
I don't honestly think it's fair to trash talk ANY character from Metal Gear, people. Rose DID serve a purpose, as being the way the fake Colonel and Rose led him on later. Plus, Rose played a solid part in Raiden's personal storyline, especially at the end.
And, I'm not disagreeing with the fact that Raiden is an androgynous, whiny twat-monkey, but he could at least jump and cartwheel in a very impressive fashion, even whilst covering his exposed genitalia with one hand. Bet you can't do that, eh?
Oh, and as for most useless character? Hum...going to have to go with Liara from Mass Effect. Quite possibly to most commonly incapacitated and weakest character usable in your party, I found my self wanting to kill her myself, in combat. She put herself directly between your bullets and their intended targets, and her biotic whatnots were complete rubbish. I always just used Wrex and Garrus, possibly the two most badass characters in the game, besides yourself (if you choose to be evil that is).

Tiny Kong in DK64. All the shrinking stuff felt tacked on. Give my Dixie Kong if you wanna spin, no need to try and "cool it up" for the young kids.
Are you sure it wasn't just something to do with your playstyle? Garrus and erm, forgot the Asari's name, anyway, I used both of them constantly, and Garrus has his fair share of lines and such, also gives you some missions, etc.42manZ post=9.69498.661846 said:
