Favorite Video Game Character

[Narrat0r]

When a 15-year-old can be manlier than Dante from DMC, then you know she's badass.

This.

Alice FTW.

 

[leet.firefox]

That's hardly what I would describe as "being manlier", but okay. Mayhaps appearing "tougher" or something along those lines, but she hardly exerts masculine characteristics. And even then, I still don't really see the toughness part. She's holding a bloody knife, which for all the viewer knows could be animal blood, and staring a little too intensely at the camera. And Dante isn't exactly a prime example of masculine fighters, he looks like he should be in a boy band. Just sayin'. >>

I change my favourite character to no one, they all disgust me.

 

[wereguy2]

Yeah, Dante's a fag. Also, the assumption is that blood is not of animals, or at least of sentient, anthropomorphised animals.

 

[leet.firefox]

No it's not.

 

[wereguy2]

Yes it is, it's clearly trying to convey violent morbidity, which doesn't really work with things that people do not feel nearly as much empathy towards.

 

[Narrat0r]

It's blood of every single living thing in the f*cked up Wonderland.
Which means also human blood.

 

[wereguy2]

Yar, good game... Well, art-wise, the actual gameplay just pissed me off.

 

[Skycraft]

Conker.
Cheeky little devil. ;D

 

[PlasmaSnake]

My favorite character is Solid Snake

Hence, where the snake came from in my name.

But i prefer old snake.

 

[PlasmaSnake]

But i prefer old snake.

He is the same guy >.<

Still epic when old though.

 

[leet.firefox]

I know this is old, but I was gone.
How many humans does she run across exactly that she can brutally murder and drench her knife in their blood?
How can it be human blood if she never fights humans?
And if it's the Red Queen's blood, if she could even be considered human, how does that support your empathy argument, since she is portrayed as the insane, murderous villian and is probably one of the hardest characters to feel empathy towards.

 

[wereguy2]

Okay, I should have said "sentient beings". My point is that she is clearly not portrayed as a "good guy". And this does not imply that she is not a protagonist.

 

[leet.firefox]

She looks like she's about to make an awesome rhubarb pie.

 

[wereguy2]

With cards.

 

[leet.firefox]

Dammit, I should have said "a killer rhubarb pie." I miss everything.

 

[rcshaggy]

Simon the Sorcerer; I know hes a douch, but he's still funny in his own way, Orgrim Dommhammer; Brought all the Clans together and actually had the Orcs some honor.
Jim Raynor; For building a group of proud forces to rescue and care for those in need.

 

[Princsky]

[Geazergimli2]

kratos from god of war and gohan from dbz

LMAO! thats what i was gonna say, except i wouldve said Teen Gohan , and add Ratchet from the Ratchet and Clank series hehe

 

[wereguy2]

Dragonball Z is not a video game.

 

[Adiktuz]

Dragonball Z is not a video game.

but there are a lot of games based from DBZ... so I think that's acceptable since the same character from 1 DBZ game is the same on the others...

 

[Kuhneghetz]

If a character didn't originate on a video game, then he's not a video game character.

 

[Adiktuz]

then what do you call him? an anime/cartoon series character that just happened to appear on a video game?

anyway, for me, since he appears in a video game, he's also a video game character already...

its something like an actor that also does modelling, he's qualified as an actor and yet he's also qualified as a model...

 

[Joe-black-5]

More like call him a Manga character.

 

[wereguy2]

By your flawed reasoning, anything can be a videogame character. My favourite video game character is the Marshmallow Man, from Ghostbusters!
...No, a "Video Game Character" is one "from" a video game.

 

[Ramza]

Let's ask WordIQ:

A video game character is a fictional character appearing in a video game or computer game.

http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Video_game_character

 

[Narrat0r]

Too off-topic. Get back on it.

 

[wereguy2]

If anything that has appeared in a videogame can be mentioned here, then that defeats the whole point of the thread - it is far too broad...

My definition of a video game character is one that primarily features in video games, over all other media.

 

[Adiktuz]

the starter haven't said that they should have originated from a video game, and based on the post by Ramza, if that character appeared in a video game then it is a video game character... it became broad because game makers adapted characters from other fields...

 

[wereguy2]

Doesn't mean this broadness is a good thing.

EDIT. Furthermore, if going by that logic, you would also have to only have access to characterisation of said character only within the games, and not other media. And most cross-media games do this terribly.

 

[paul_9]

emile from halo reach

 

[Raven0]

Auron, FFX

When Sin is destroying Zanarkand and everyone is running for their lives and Auron is just calmly walking towards sin with his sword over his shoulder, grade-A badass right there.

 

[Adiktuz]

the main character from FFversus13 (if char from a game still in development is allowed)... ^_^

he summons weapons around him and can even teleport...

 

[DEAD FiSH]
