Shanoa from Order of Ecclesia. It's one thing to rob a protagonist of memory, but to rob it of emotion is to create a grade-A, 100% unrelatable character.
To be honest, I think less than half the people who played Dead Space actually read those notes. I didn't even notice them until my second time through.Romidude said:
I think a lot of the difference is just how we view things. For example, we both agree that some of the costumes are a little bit more than ridiculous, but for me, weird isn't a bad thing (i.e. Tidus doesn't make me think 'male stripper'), it's just different, and whereas you find him annoying I just find him to be ... him, if that makes sense. As in, to me his qualities don't make him annoying, his qualities make him a character (so you find him annoying and I don't basically). And then there is the battle system(I'm not sure how you liked, or didn't, the battle system. I liked the battle system, it was like Golden Sun, except instead of speed determinging when you act within a turn, it determined how frequently you acted, so it felt like a turn-based representation of a real-time battle (again, this is just how I view it).bushwhacker2k said:
I also liked the story, it had the basic "Go here, then here, then here, getting stronger at each plot point (i.e. Temples, where you get new summons), it also had the plot twists (Yuna is going to die, Jecht is Sin, Yu Yevon's a prick, the final summon doesn't work, etc) and the conflicts (marked as traitors, the Grand Maesters are undead arseholes out to destroy humanity, the Al-Bhed vs the Yevon-people, etc).
TL;DR:It is just a matter of taste, kind of like how I don't understand people playing hours upon hours of COD or Halo, or watching wrestling, sports and reality T.V.
Kimahri from FFX. His character was so flat and underdeveloped. The game really didn't need him because he contributed so little to the plot line.
Easily my most hated protagonist was Hope from FFXIII. Possibly the most annoying thing ever to be conceived in any FF games, especially an already sub par game.
And even tho he wasn't exactly the main character per se, I also hated my "facking cahzin" Roman Bellic in GTA IV

Samus in Other M. Samus's character was hinted at by previous games, particularly Fusion and Zero Mission; Other M crushed all of that subtle characterization in a single, massive swoop. Samus is apparently whiny, annoying, and in possession of more psychological issues than the average New Vegas character. (Most of her dialogue alternates between "gee I miss the baby Metroid" and "gee I hope Adam likes me".)
My most hated protaginist is you. Yes you, the player.
Take anygame where you are the protaginist like Oblivion or Fallout. No one has ever made it through either game without being pricks to the general population in disturbingly creative ways.

Yep, he definitely means Hope. Vanille is the girl who you wouldnt trust more than 30 paces away from a mental ward. Cant blame him tho for the mistake. All the FFXIII characters sucked in general, along with the game itselflinkvegeta said:
Ezio struck me as pretty much a murderous dick. After Leonardo gives you the gun attachment for your gauntlet, Ezio runs across the street, kills three unsuspecting city guards with it, and then runs back to Leonardo to say "I love it! Thanks a bunch!" Stop looking so cheerful, you douche, you just committed a triple homicide to try the thing out.
I mean, a lot of those guards are just trying to do their jobs. Telling you that you aren't supposed to be on those rooftops is perfectly valid!

Hey, thats not true. I played Fallout 3 and all I did was blow up a city, kill civilians, rob every other person then kill them, and also... on 2nd thought, you may have a slight point there...Baby Eater said:
Sadly, that's pretty restricted compared to me. On Oblivion I made a spell that froze someone, killed them, brought them to life again, then made them explode.Kendell Cambridge said:
I used that spell on literally everything.
