Who is the manliest game character?

[A random person]

Gordon Freeman, here's why:

Athletic build=Manly

Almost single-handedly killing aliens and oppressive interdimensional regimes=Manly

Crowbar=Manly

Those glasses=Manly

Physics=Manly

Possibly being on the autistic spectrum=Possibly, and very surprisingly, manly. There's a theory (made by Borat's brother, no less) that autism is an extreme form of the male mindset.

Keep in mind that last one was a throwaway joke and I'm an aspie myself. Just saying that to minimize flaming.

Snake of course

 

[Haliwali]

In a game, I'm not a fanboy but I have to say Master Chief. The name emphasises his masculinity but in a way makes him even more mysterious.

I also love the guy Chad Sexington on an episode of the Simpsons

You do realize thet's a rank, not a name
Seaman Recruit
Seaman Apprentice
Seaman
Petty Officer 3rd Class
Petty Officer 2nd Class
Petty officer 1st Class
Chief Petty Officer
Senior Chief Petty Officer
Master Chief Petty Officer
Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy

If alien characters allowed, then Wrex from ME. He devours/blasts with a shotgun/kills with his bare hands/biotic-throws every even half-manly character ever to meet him.
If not: The Duke of Manliness and Nukes!

I'm going with Gordon Freeman.
He'll beat your face in with a crowbar.

It's the quotes that makes the man. Gordon's a mute.

A man's words do not define him, his actions do.

I asked Captain Obvious about his opinions about this and he said: "KRATOS!" and flew away. I agree with him.

 

[Partyjerk]

Geralt the witcher

 

[Iampringles]

Augustus 'Cole Train' Cole.

Yeah.

Manly.

 

[Slash Dementia]

The Bard from The Bard's Tale. I don't see Kratos summoning a mouse into a bar just to scare and "rescue" the bar maiden.

 

[TyeDye75]

Sergeant Price from COD4

Auron from final fantasy X..... Prey Now

 

[TheOnceandFutureKing]

Supposedly there is a Gurren Lagann video game out there or there will be one soon and if thats the case then Kamina.

 

[Woem]

The Nameless One (Planescape: Torment). How manly is this!

 

[kantalupa]

cole train form gears, hes pretty much just a mountain with a chainsaw

 

[Hyldago]

Voldo from soul calibur 4... you have to see somone play him right but even so you know what im talking about =P

 

[G1eet]

I also love the guy Chad Sexington on an episode of the Simpsons

Haha, I love that episode.

Homer: "Well I can fantasize too!"

Mama Celeste: "You touch me, an' I cut you!"

Newman: "Homer, I'll tell you what I told Redford- it ain't gonna happen."

Captain Price. His moustatche alone is more manly then any other video game character.

Besides who else runs straight into enemy fire, picks up grenades and lets them explode in his hand, and doesn't age throughout the span of like 60 years? Price all the way.

Haha remember, he only runs in after you run in, and hes the grandson of the guy in the second game. But yes, his muustache is extraordinary.

Kratos, I don't think I need to explain.

Ethan Thomas: Hate the game if you have to hate something but he had more balls than anyone I have ever known. Goes right into a creepy house just trying to find a seriel Killer.

Let's see...
Gordon Freeman is a quiet type. It's not not-manly, but there are no bonus points there.
I would describe Kratos as godly, not manly.
Solid Snake...does "manly" things, with his "manly" friend, the "manly" Otacon. In their "manly" plane, with the Mark II(I) a "manly" camera on wheels in the plane. When they do their "manly" things. No Solid "Trouser" Snake.
Marcus & co. The same as above, but they do get bonus points for calling themselves the 'cogs' ( altough I can't stop snickering when I hear someone say "Marcus Fenix is a Cog" )

...
Damn it, I can't think of a reason to dismiss the late Duke Nukem.
I suppose he'll be remembered as the manliest then.
Why are all the real men dead?

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

Serious Sam obviously. Or Captain Falcon.

Captain Falcon? Seriously?....I mean, seriously?....really?

FALCON PUNCH!!

 

[Manji187]

Kratos

Quite simply.

Indeed.

Since a Gurren Lagann game exists for the DS, Kamina wins by default.

Everyone who understands what I am talking about, you are true men, with burning fire in your souls!
Those who don't, you fail, you will never do the impossible, see the invisible, touch the untouchable or break the unbreakable, and no matter how many times you row, you will never fight the power.

I still say Duke Nukem, because he's been doing all the things space marines have been doing single-handedly without power armor. Also if you look at the thread
"And I don't mean any cookie cutter space marines, but real a man that can impregnate women just by looking at them. One who wrestles polar bears for a morning workout, while eating breakfast at the same time. One that can even turn Chuck Norris into an effeminate gay with his sheer manly presence. Just speaking his name will put hair on your chest, even women (girls, please don't say his name)."
This is Duke Nukem's life story.
