Your Favorite Character

[MercurySteam]

My latest favourite is Adam Jensen from DX: HR. If you can look past the gravely voice then you'll realise that he's quite badass.

Likes: Long black coats, whiskey, instant sunglasses

Dislikes: Proper boss fights/girlfriends

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Adam Jensen, Jackie Estacado, Fenris, Isaac Clarke, Garcia Hotsput...my god the list goes ON!

 

[Azaradel]

There are way too many to chose one, so I'll just go with the two that popped into my mind first:

Billy Coen from Resident Evil Zero
Wow, that pic was not what I was looking for, but it is fucking amazing. Thank you, Google Images :V

Shy Guy. SHUT YOUR FUCKING TRAP, SHY GUYS ARE AWESOME.

Max Payne probably. Or Jackie Estacado. We need more heroes like them.

I'll second The Darkness' Jackie Estacado. The game was already more amazingly well written and fun than I expected for the $5 bargin I nabbed it for, but Jackie ended up being only character, let alone in an FPS, that I was every genuinely emotionally invested in; his plight and his vengence were my own... Saddest. Ending. EVER.

You. YOU are my new best friend. I share the EXACT same outlook as you do.

Well, I'm honored; I now need TWO fingers to count my Escapist friends! Hoping this means you're chomping at bit for The Darkness 2 just as I am?? The Darkness really was prime for a sequel, a perfect storm: great story, awesome characters and the 1st one was a sleeper hit, so any sequel should be a service to the franchise's great points and not a mere rushed servicing of rabid fanboy demand for more of the same. I think I'm looking forward to this game more than any other for the foreseeable future.

[Overlordkain]

Kain from FFIV, he wears dragon shaped armour, wields a spear and has a heavily conflicted and deep personality with an awesome story, there is nothing not totally awesome about him.
Oh and his addition to the roster of Dissidia made me extremely moist.

 

[lolreaper]

heather mason of silent hill 3
vincent from the same game would be the runner up

 

[Jason 'Termy' Winstanley]

I have to say Cortana, from Halo.
She's fantastic, purple, witty and sarcastic just like me. She's got a brilliant personality, and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty... and hack stuff for me. What did you /think/ I meant?
Or, for the sake of multi-choice, my second option would be... Joker. From Mass Effect. Nearly the same reasons as Cortana, really...

 

[Kekkles]

It's gotta be Yoshimitsu, he's just mental.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Max from Sam & Max. Quite the crazy rabbit, he is.

 

[Kapri]

Dear sweet Wodan there are sooo many! Yoshi, Dante (DMC), Link (derp), Balthier (FFXII), and Rose (Legend of Dragoon).

 

[Section Crow]

Scorch and Sev from Republic commando
Emma and Emmy from The Last Remnant
Caim and Angelus from Drakengard
Darth Revan and HK-47 from Star wars knights of the old republic
Zack and Angeal from final fantasy VII

those are from memory, there is probably alot more that i have forgotten

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Mass Effect 2: Garrus Vakarian

You have no idea how close he was to making my list in first place for his category. Pretty much the only thing stopping me was not wanting to put two characters from the same game in first place.

That, and Alistair is freaking hilarious.

 

[Terminate421]

Here's one that may make your head explode

Ben Carmine

Why? Because he's alot like me. Garrus and Legion are boss, Master Chief is a badass, Grovyle is amazing, and Noble 6 has enough of a background, but none are as well connected to me and him, aside from being dead:

 

[Overlord93]

GlaDos

 

[the spud]

Look at the avatar.

He's one crazy son-of-a-*****, though he is great fun at parties.

Shadow from the same game was fun too.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

Luke fon Fabre from Tales of the Abyss. Overall an excellent game with a great story, and memorable characters. I still hold Luke up as having the single greatest character arc of any that I've ever seen in a video game.

 

[Von Dean]

Grit from Advance Wars DS because i love that game and his easy going attitude although tbh he isin't much in the way of a developed character.
Vyse from Skies of Arcadia,and if you don't know him well enough to know why I picked him I implore you to get and play the game!

 

[zombiestrangler]

In no particular order:
Victor Reznov (CoD:WaW)
Urdnot Wrex (Mass Effect)
General Knoxx (Borderlands)
Edgar Teglee (Psychonauts)
Dizzy Wallin (GoW 2)
