Video Game Character You Associate Most With?

[Chronologist]

I really feel a connection with Alistair from Dragon Age: Origins. Big and broad-shouldered, charming with more than a little touch of smart-ass and sarcasm. He's got some heavy issues to deal with, but he never lets them get in the way of fighting Darkspawn and doing the right thing.

He's also the vanguard of the group, the first to meet the enemy head-on, willing and able to fight to the last to protect his friends.

He's the one companion I never voluntarily took out of my group through the whole game.

Max Payne me thinks. Not the killing of his wife etc, but his introspective and depressive personality.

 

[MrLumber]

Patches the Hyena, I'm not 100% sure why, but I absolutely love that character. Its probably because I'd act very similar to him when put in the same situation, and his dialogue is great, which is something I can appreciate.

 

[SargentToughie]

Jack Slate, *****.

Oh damn, that just happened. Wait, which version of Jack Slate? The almost likable wisecracking dude from the original, or the Marcus Fenix wannabee from the remake?

 

[Vuavu]

Felix! From those old Golden Sun games. He's the romantic, tragic hero type that I've unashamedly tried to emulate my whole life haha. Not to mention... The resemblance is uncanny Also: <<< that picture is from ABOUT six years ago. Haven't gotten around to changing it

EDIT: I'd like to add Geralt of Rivia.

And the goddamned Batman.

 

[Legion IV]

Dante from devil may cry. most people wanna laugh at such a comment. But any true fan of Dantes character and has played all the games, anime and magna they understand. Dante has a pretty deep personality and its the character i relate to the most.

- Was hurt horribly in the past and still cant let go
- keeps himself distant from everybody he can by humor or just being a dick.
- Hardley has any friends but the ones he has are very close and have a very intresting relationship
- Despite his outward attitude he really does care and helps everybody he can, not even expecting a reward.
- Despite it all, he still holds to the hope that one day it'll be over and he can finnaly be happy, but until then his job is never done.

i could go on about his attitude and other traits but just, dante. the character i can relate to the most.


Fucking dante, the best character in fiction. fucking dante. Wernt for him i just dont know.

Because if I went into a combat scenario I would end up exactly like the majority of them, dead, exploded, zombified, shooting walls half the time or worse.

MAYBE I would survive if I was lucky

 

[toastmaster2k8]

Flynn from Bad Company 2, I put my smokes before everything, EVERYTHING And you know, being stoned.

 

[Gitty101]

Nova, my Dark Souls character. All alone in a dark and terrifying world with entities out to get me...

Seriously though, probably Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher 2. I generally agree with his viewpoint and feel that I'd probably end up thinking the same way if I were in his situation.

Snorlax i'm fat lazy and sleeps all the time but i'll kick ass if you train me too!

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

If I was a video game character I would probably be Zeke Dunbar from the inFamous series.

I'm not the great hero that saves the day. I make jokes, hangout with my friends and try to find some enjoyment. I'm a flawed person, but at the end of the day I still do what is right.

 

[alfawx]

Regarding personality, I'd say Phillip Buchanon from the Penumbra Series, seeing as I tend to be a bit snarky or sarcastic about stuff when things get bad, and generally enjoy running away or hiding from things. I would post a picture, but, you know, first person unidentified protagonist. I know that he's blond, so I don't share that at least. In terms of looks, I'd say I'm more akin to Henry Townshend of Silent Hill 4 fame.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I look like right there.

A very good evening to everyone!

I was just wondering - rather than the BEST character, or the COOLEST, or the TOUGHEST - those are all boring questions - which video game character do you feel most SIMILAR TO?

That could be because of how they react to situations, how they look, how they talk - whatever - just the gaming character that you thought "Wow - they're a lot like me".

For me, I would have to say either the lead guy from Bulletstorm (always cracking jokes and causing mayhem) - or Gordon Freeman (goatee glasses guy who loves his science).

Or do you feel that you have nothing in common with ANY game character?

I would have to say the great Bang Shishigami in almost every way except back story and being able to summon fire from my hands.

 

[EHKOS]

Niko Bellic. I am not afraid to rough someone up to protect me or my family, and I just want a decent life, but existential circumstances keep pushing me back.

 

[Drop_D-Bombshell]

Wheatley

Both of us are cowards, do stupid stuff that have hilarious consequences and babble on about preparation to actual work.

Plus we're both morons, but i accept that, he doesn't.

 

[theSteamSupported]

- Prefers working alone
- Prefers excitement over comfort
- Not very social, but still friendly and kind
- Considers problem solving to be superior to optimism/pessimism
- Likes playing around with the newest toys
- Supports scientific and technological advancements
- Likes to explore unknown territories
- Has a dreamy mind

I try to come up with as many things as possible that I share common with a certain bounty hunter. Someone who has suffered way too long from traditional storytelling techniques. She has thus been coming of as either an empty vessel or a victim of blatant Shakespeare worship.

 

[bigfatcarp93]

The Rookie from Halo: ODST any day. Like the Rookie, I like to take on seemingly insurmountable challenges by outsmarting or outstrategizing them, plus I know what it feels like to be lost and alone, and have to make your way alone for a bit.

 

[Darius Brogan]

At the risk of sounding completely full of crap, Vincent Valentine.

And not because he's a gun-slinging loner bad-ass with an awesome cape and gauntlet, either.

I identify with Vincent because he's outwardly calm most of the time, but still has a barely controlled monster just beneath the surface.
He's also intelligent and logical, but FAR more cool than I'll ever likely be...

Aww... I'm sad now...

 

[Arionis]

Ashley Loveless from Battle Fantasia. His story, particularly the last paragraph, I find painfully familiar.

It's actually become my bio in my XBOX LIVE gamertag. xD;

 

[Brown Cap]

Joe Capelli from Resistance 2

Easy to piss off, Loyal, but doesn't show it, reckless and edgey.

Except I'm not as badass
