Your most hated game character

[Icehearted]

Cole "WOO, IMMA BE A BIG 'OL BLACK STEREOTYPE, BABY!" Train.

How I hate him more than every character in Final Fantasy 8 combined baffles me. It's a pretty revealing bit of insight, I suppose, to know how these people perceive a black athlete turned soldier. For me it's about as bad as a white man in black face screaming "MAMMY" at me for as long as I play the game and Cole is talking.

1. Semyor Guado, he was simply irritating and keep coming back no matter how many times i killed him, seriously he beat the sheer often cringing idiotic ability of Tidus to ruin the immersion.

2. Sheva's AI on Insane diffuculty, I could put up with her otherwise but f*ck sake don't walk at Wesker you dumbass. he will hit you and cant get over there to save you in the under 1 seconds insane gives you to help someone, oh yea and that was irritating to.

3. the writing in Alpha Protocol, I could forgive the blandness of Thornton, if he didn't sound like and ass-hole 9/10, seriously if I pick suave I want something Bond the OTT sexual innuendo master might say not "hey you look good when I can barely see you", and dam is that guy bland, he's like the colour beige.

4. Not a person but the odd way the characters in ANY FF game are put together, there's allways a emo-teen (Tidus, Hope ect) and very very very excitable often irritating one (Vannile, Yuffie, Rikku) the often cool Badass (Auron, Pain (Pain was only in FFX-2 and for that fact only she is the most hated creating in the history of JRPG's) i could go on but I wont.

5 again not really a person per-say but "Greifers", these are a unique group in MMORPG's who pray on noobs, who while irritating can be excused for it, come on be nice to the noobs they have to learn, "baiting", "flipping" (id add wow tricks but I dont play it) ect are there tricks of the trade, and these can sometime ruin an experience for noobs, guys wait, let them learn then kill them when they go where there not safe PVP aera's, low-sec what ever. note i don't hate scammers in games (eve-online is a good example) the scams are so easy to spot if you fall for it you bloody deserve it idiot.

ill stop here and apologise now for the length, grammer and spelling

Dom from Gears of War, went from badass (Gears 1) to this whiny *****. The WHOLE game he whines about his wife, yes that's a moving thing for sure, but this is a shooter where everything is supposed to be badass and chaotic. Now after doing something insane, cue Dom to start crying. Carmine should have lived and Dom should have died.

I get they were going for more story in Gears 2, but they fell flat on their face especially with Dom, seriously.

But Carmine wore a helmet to protect his head like a silly person, so naturaly he MUST die. As for me, Bayonetta, I never actually played the game but i just dont like what she represents which to me is the appealing to the lowest common denominator in the gaming industry (which is this case would be shameless, immature sex appeal) and dont gimme that "its supposed to be absurd/ironic" crap

I think it's more about Bayonetta being camp...I thought the same thing but the DMC gameplay and the silly nature of the cutscenes really makes for a strange and interesting game. ..With a character with legs longer than you are tall.

im not hip what does "being camp" mean

I'm terrible at explaining things, someone is probably going to have to correct me with this.

A guy walking away from a building while putting on sunglasses as it explodes. That's a campy move, trying to be cool in a cheesy way. But Bayontta seems to know how cheesy and campy it is (trying to be cool) that it just ...works.

I'm not trying to defend the game to you, if you hate it, you hate it. But I think it's worth giving a chance. It was like Saints Row to my friends, they said the game was "gay gangsta crap" and I said the game knows what it's doing and if you sit with it, you realize it doesn't take itself seriously and it becomes very fun.

Like I said, I'm terrible at explaining things.

Okay I can't seem to see my posts after posting so if this winds up another post after the one I just made...apologize but I can't see the last one to edit it.

Cole "WOO, IMMA BE A BIG 'OL BLACK STEREOTYPE, BABY!" Train.

For me it's about as bad as a white man in black face screaming "MAMMY" at me for as long as I play the game and Cole is talking.

See the problem is... the guy is actually like that. He's been in a few commercials and he is EXACTLY as he is in Gears.

Even if it is an act that he puts on, that's how he is. I was just as surprised.

Edit: Dammit now I see my post, what's going on today I can never see my posts till like an hour later.

No i get what ur saying, but its basically the "its supposed to be absurd/ironic" defense i mentioned, but i can certainly live and let live if you like that game, at least we can agree that killing Carmine for wearing head-protective gear (with a headshot, mind you) is silly
-and all the other COGs killed for wearing helmets

Varian Wrynn, god what a warmongering dick, he and Garrosh should just compare penises, get it over with, and let the REAL leaders do the leading.

^ This, >.> should jus let 'em go at it and kill themselves. Both are easily hateable, but here's what gets me hatin Varian more (Aside the fact he's a human). They try to make him like-able with that one lil scene in Alliance ICC at Saurfang...but then right after when Stormwind's taxing people out of their homes...he spends the money to upgrade his castle (not fix the parts of the city that were destroyed) and have a giant marble statue of himself made. >.> So it kinda crushes his lil "But really, I'm a like-able guy" scene. At least Garrosh's lil "Maturing, becoming a like-able character" scene (The "YOU ARE DISMISSED" quest) isn't followed up by douchery...er...yet, at least. D: Also, Varian killed my buddy Putress...I would've betrayed the Horde for that guy!

Oh, and Soul Calibur's Kilik. Eff that cheap goody-goody. Long range, high damage, fast, and spam all in one? H8

Moira ... F#*#ing... Brown. Fallout 3. The most annoying voice, the most asinine side quests. I killed her right after finishing wilderness survival guide.

 

[ArkhamJester]

Vanille from FF13. I could, and have, go on for days about why, but lets just say that the ONLY way I could feel anything but hate for her is if she was burned alive, healed, dunked in lava, healed, then thrown into a meat grinder. I HATE HER THAT FUCKING MUCH!

 

[Red Pawn]

I detest about 86% of JRPG characters.
Beyond that:

Spoiler: Derp.

Also, this thing.

 

[jaketaz]

Resetti is terrible, but Ashley from RE4 is one of the all-time worst. And of course Slippy toad. People always hate on Yoshi, but he was really cool in the first game he was in, Super Mario World. Oh and Raiden form the Metal Gear series. I don't care how weird and cybernetic you make this guy, no one will EVER like the whining &^%$.

Yeeeeeeeaaahh, not happy about Carmine being the South Park joke of the series since he's the best character of the series.

 

[jaketaz]

Oh yeah and I hate to be like this, but no one gives a shit about Liu Kang, Ken or Ryu. These guys have nothing cool going on... their gimmick is that they're the "normal karate guys" in games filled with crazy freaks. Please... who would EVER think that Ken and Ryu are cooler than Akuma. Even Dan is better because he has personality and is an underdog. And no one will ever like Liu Kang as long as he's in a game with Scorpion and Reptile and all these weirdos.

As much as I'm getting tired of people bitching about JRPG characters, I'm going to go ahead and be a hypocrite and choose one: Rinoa from XIII. She's a complete slut (seriously, she's the village bicycle) and yet we are expected to identify with her and Squall's "relationship."

 

[Ap0ca1ypse]

Rochelle, Ghost, Marcus Fenix, and the minstrels from AC2.

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Maggie Chow, hands down.

If you don't know who that is, go play Deus Ex. Right now.

 

[Lancer873]

Well, if we count games that never should have existed, I would definitely say anyone from Frogger: The Great Quest. That game was pure and utter garbage and the story, characters, and voice acting were certainly no exceptions. It takes a truly horrible game to turn a classic series into a total flop, and boy, did that game do it. Heck, Spyro declined less than that series did, and they've turned that from a classic action-platformer into a freaking god of war rip-off. I mean, there were some really good and expansive frogger games out there, I remember a 2.5D top-down frogger for the PS1 that was awesome, but The Great Quest? I thought it might be good... but then I started it up, and there was a game-breaking bug by the third level... I was /glad/ there was a game-breaking bug on the third level! Oh to be young and foolish again. T.T

I'm trying to think of one from a game that still deserved existing, but after remembering that, I don't think I can really hate any of them the same way...

Do I even need to say it?

[superbleeder12]

Vanille from FF 13.

From recent memory, Trip from Enslaved, the first 45 minutes she has 0 redeeming qualities, and from there, she doesn't really gain anymore.

 

[Crimson_Dragoon]

As much as I'm getting tired of people bitching about JRPG characters, I'm going to go ahead and be a hypocrite and choose one: Rinoa from VIII. She's a complete slut (seriously, she's the village bicycle) and yet we are expected to identify with her and Squall's "relationship."

Your error has been fixed because Rinoa was in Final Fantasy VIII not XIII and Rinoa was with Seifer and she had some feeling for him but she completely forgets them once to see hooks up with Squall.

So she's had two boyfriends that doesn't make her a slut.

Thanks for fixing the typo, however, I still see her that way. I recall her flirting with just about anything that moves.

Then again, I have a strong dislike for VIII and its characters. While I tend to like most (though not all) Final Fantasy characters, I really don't think anyone in VIII was good or likable.
