The biggest Badass in gaming.

[Bachanomon92]

I'm not choosing Gordon Freeman ONLY BECAUSE he's too obvious.

Actually now that I've thought of him, everyone else seems like a total pansy.

GORDON FREEMAN!

 

[Instant K4rma]

Duke Nukem.

Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Captain Falcon and Solid Snake are tied for second.

Yes, he is the biggest badass of all time. He can go back and forth in time just by pulling a sword out of a stone and puting it back in, AND he can change the weather and the time of day or night just by playing an Ocorina. He can soot flaming arrows and has a blue suit that lets him breathe under water. Hell, he even has shoes that let him walk on air! Come on, who could top all that?

Exactly. It's all in his equipment. Anyone could do that with those items.

And Duke could do it better, too.

That is where your wrong, and where my nerd-fest begins. Link is the Hero of Time, and only he is permitted to use the Master Sword and the Ocorina of Time (Well, Zelda can use the Ocorina, but thats beside the point.) He shoots an arrow into the sun and is granted flaming magical arrows. Who else could shoot an arrow into the sun? He even uses Deku-Nuts as make-shift flashbangs! This guy is easily the biggest badass in gaming.

Ryu combined w/Akuma...'nuff said.

 

[Hippobatman]

Bah, you're all wrong.

The biggest badass in gaming is Bowser!

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

Gordon Freeman? Yeah, the guy's pretty badass, but he's got (what's left of) Black Mesa supporting him. Not to mention his HEV suit, which is all that's really keeping him alive - what, with all the car crashes he's been in. I mean, Gordon Freeman's either a really bad driver or he just needs another new car.

Put me down for Father Grigori. He's gaming's biggest badass. It's just him and his shotgun Annabelle in Ravenholm. Gordon spent a couple hours in Ravenholm, Father Grigori lives there and sets crazy traps in his spare time. He's Ravenholm's lone survivor. He's a badass.

1: Anyone can use Deku Nuts as flashbangs.
2: So he shot an arrow into the sun. I fail to see the badassery in that. Impressive feat of physical prowess, sure, but badass? No. Maybe if the sun had exploded...
3: You're still missing the point. It's not the what, it's the how. And no matter what Link does, he does it in the most plain vanilla way possible, whereas the few I have named have style, finesse, emotion, and attitude.

Also there has been more than one Link so you can't attribute the whole series to his own deeds.

 

[RogueDarkJedi]

Master Chief.

I would have voted the Arbiter, however he's...yeah.

What's with arbiter? I always wondered.

A tool.

IDCLIP

Me.

 

[cj_iwakura]

The Demi-Fiend from Nocturne.

The man takes on an army of demons single-handed, and then makes them all serve him.

And it IS possible to beat the game with just him, by himself.

If that's not hardcore, I don't know what is.

 

[TheFacelessOne]

I have three choices:

Master Chief: Anyone who flies a bomb through space and blows up a space ship is awesome.
Darth Revan: Just his looks are enough.
My The Boss(Saints Row2): The character you played in Saints Row 2. I made my guy be an English accented hybrid of the Joker, The Penguin, and the Riddler.

 

[plastic_window]

Earthworm Jim's a good shout.

But there's only one Duke Nukem.

 

[Archereus]

Kirby could eat all of your choices whole...at once.

agreed all of the way, and maybe give him the teeth from there will be brawl, give him a big advantage over those other so call bad asses

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

Clive Winston... Duh.

 

[KenzS]

The Arbiter from Halo Wars, not Keith David's Arbiter.

 

[Albino Ninja]

I would vote Darth Nihilus. he is made up of pure evil and EATS PLANETS, like previously stated.
However, the most badass personality belongs to riddick, or Canderous Ordo.

 

[ZomgSharkz]

This isn't from Videogaming. But the Nightbringer from Warhammer 40k.

He's a full-blown God who flies around space drinking entire stars through a space straw. And whenever he wakes up from one of his long sleeps for a simple Mid-millenia snack, he sends out millions and millions of undead badasses to harvest souls. He pretty much does what he wants.

 

[ninja_factory]

My favorite contenders:

The Prince(s) (Prince of Persia, the new prince has a sexy gauntlet that I can't ignore)
Solid Snake (MGS)
Travis Touchdown (No more Heroes)
Altair (Assassin's Creed)
Jade (Beyond Good and Evil)
Jade Curtiss (Tales of the abyss)

 

[NinjaSkills]

Wrex also fits the bill quite well.

Agreed.
I'm also going to say Nero from DMC4. He was fearless and you gotta love the banter.

Fuck Nero. Dante
