Shion from Xenosaga, oh dear god Shion.
Here is a character that perfectly embodies the description "Anime Girl". She's that combination of cutesy, ditzy, and overly caring, done to a nauseating degree. Her naive attitude makes it absolutely impossible to take her seriously, trying to convince me that she is supposed to be some sort of renowned scientist seems like a cruel joke. She seems more like a clumsy 14 year-old than anything.
I couldn't even make it out of the prologue before I knew I utterly despised her character.
Soldiers and robots are dying to hold off virtually unkillable aliens so that she can get to safety, what does she do? She stands there like a lump and bawls about it, in the same room, while the fighting is still going on and the aliens she was running from keep coming closer and closer. She doesn't help her allies, she doesn't keep running to safety, she just...stands there.

Is that a G3 assult rifle with a sniper scope or am I just using my Call of Duty 4 videogame "knowledge" to lable a gun that resembles it?White_Hawk said:
do noobs counts as characters? i know its my thread but still...
OT: I'd have to go with, *thinking of recent games I've played* The russian Dragovich from Black Ops for being such a dick.
Not reading the rest of the thread but VOTE NUMBER 5. I really have no specific reason to not like him, except for the fanboys. One of my guy friends wants to have his kids i swear and i get so SICK of hearing about him. If there were some redeeming quality to him, maybe i'd like him a bit more, but there really isn't anything good or bad about him except the fanboys.The Night Shade said:
On another note: Most hated character ever, period.
This guy, right here. You are not Mewtwo. You will never be Mewtwo. You are beneath him, in manure, you unbelievable waste of flesh and cheap blue paint. You are so far beneath him you wouldn't see it if one of his lowest mind control slaves wrote "Suck It" on the bottom of their shoe. You are a completely useless creature, serving only as material for the less-picky among us to make less-than-work-safe images about. You dominate nothing. You defeat nothing. You shouldn't even exist.
This is what you are. THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE. ALL YOU WILL EVER BE. GO CRAWL UNDER A ROCK AND DIE.
Go cry to your ridiculous fanbase while they look at more aforementioned images.
Oh and
That still feels so good.
My most hated character is... well I don't exactly have one. I thought about it for quite some time and there were those who did annoy me but I didn't hate them particularly.
I have thought of one not really a character more than it is a type of character. I hate... I hate....

Little girl characters who piss me off and that almost always die at the most inconvenient time because you failed to kill the last Nazi-Zombie Aztec mummified fried chicken monster. Also if they're not the type you have to protect they are the ones which appear, mostly in survival horror/horror games were they show brief glimpses of themselves causing you too chase after them into a dark alley way where you then get stabbed in the back... literary, also good job if you got the game reference.
P.S. Ghost and Nikolai from the Call of Duty franchise are extremely over rated, I don't exactly hate them but they annoy me for being popular over doing nothing.

Reaver's arguments in court and synopses of royal decisions were the funniest things in the entire game to me.Rouse said:
OT: I was going to say Yoshi, but I was beaten to the punch with the very first reply, so I guess I'll say Travis Touchdown. That guy makes me want to put on my ass-kicking shoes and then put them so far up there that he can taste them.
Oh, and Yuffie. Shut up, Yuffie.
Aye, it was with him my hatred for J-RPGs began. Used to play Final Fantasy all the time when I was a kid, and while I do like FFX a lot, it would have been way more awesome without that whining brat(and Rikku for that matter).marcogodinho said:
Hope and Vanille from FFXIII, as many has mentioned, are also two objects of hate for me. I dislike every character in that game, but they take the price.
Couldn't really stand Dante from Dante's Inferno either. Most of his lines felt so damn cheesy and the game overall was just stupid
"Who dares enter my house of pain?
It is I who love my wife!"
That we got to see his dick in the end movie didn't help either. I got traumatised for life!
THANK YOU!!! I seriously don't know why everyone says he's one of the best game characters created. Oh wait, I do. It's because everyone loves half life and that's all they can think about.FargoDog said:
Anyways, I'm gonna have to go with Marcus Fenix, from Gears of War. He's just a retarded asshole, with no real personal reason for wanting to kill the locust. I mean, yes, survival is a good reason, but why isn't Dom the main character. I mean, he actually has emotions besides just cynical and sarcastic, and he's got a real reason to be completely pissed at the locust. What does Marcus have? Testosterone and a dead father. Not that I wouldn't get mad if my father were killed, but his father had to be like 80 years old when he died! Get over it, the old fart would've died in a couple years anyway! Anyways, yeah, I hate him...
Thought: All these people saying they hate Gordon Freeman actually hate themselves? Would explain why they hate a character whose only purpose is for the player to project themselves onto him, atleast.
OT: In recent memory? Probably Arcturus Mengsk from the Starcraft games. Then again, your kinda supposed to hate him, so "Mission Accomplished" on Blizzard's part.

i hate nathan drake, simply because yahtzee says hes a stereotypical american protagonist.
and no, i've never played the games but i'll just go with yahtzee on this one.

Now come on, Carth wasn't that bad. At least he was fantastically well voiced, and had a reason for being a whiny little *****. As long as you're light sided, he won't baww you to death.
Bastila was a bit of a *****, but HK-47 takes the cake. He's not funny. He's a boring twat and the only reason i buy him is for the sand people quest. He chips in to every single conversation with boring repetitive dialogue about murdering the subject. If he were, say, sadistic, i might not be so harsh. All he ever chips in with is "can i blast him now master". You're a 7 foot hunk of metal, and all you can fucking come up with is shooting? What about tearing his limbs off? Spitting battery acid in his eyes?

I know I've been ninja'd many times, probably, but yes. To this day, I'm still doubting Slippy's gender... and also, very annoying. Worst part of Starfox 64.Mr. Omega said:
Also, I'm gonna have to say Jun from Halo: Reach. He was more of a nuance than a help.
And the turian Council member in the Mass Effect series. I just wanna punch him in the face.
Dont you get it, YOU are Gordon Freeman.FargoDog said:
DUN DUN DUN DUUUUNNNNN!!!
But seriously, that is what Valve wants, the player must feel like he is the one in there, that is why he doesnt talk and you never see his face in gameplay, also why there are no cutscenes.
I've played Half-Life a lot, and I love the games, but I've never considered myself being Gordon Freeman. If you're doing some role-playing in a role-playing game I can get it, eventhough I find it incredibly awkward, but in shooters it doesnt make much sense to me.Grey_Focks said:
Don't hate or like him, but I can understand why people dislike him. He isn't a character. He is a name with a face we only see on box arts, other than that he's just hollow.
Silent protagonists are always a bit dull to me. Like Link and uhm... other...!
