    What is Your Favourite Video Game Character of All Time.

    Mine is a Toss up Between Mario & Sonic. These are the pioneers of character base gaming and every generation of console brings these characters further out in front.

    I think Mario shades it. The true Godfather of the Gaming World. Predictable But True.

    For me it's has to be Solid Snake. Great character when he was introduced on the Playstation & I am sure people have found memories from his early days on Nintendo. Very cool character.

    Honorable mention to Crash Bandicoot.:D

    Legacy_Of_Kain-_Sould_Reaver_Cover.jpg
    I am Raziel, first-born of his lieutenants. I stood with Kain and my brethren at the dawn of the empire. I have served him a millennium. Over time, we became less human and more...divine. Kain would enter the state of change and emerge with a new gift. Some years after the master, our evolution would follow. Until I had the honor of surpassing my lord. For my transgression, I earned a new kind of reward...agony. There was only one possible outcome - my eternal damnation. I, Raziel, was to suffer the fate of traitors and weaklings - to burn forever in the bowels of the Lake of the Dead.

    :D

    Kratos swiftly became a favourite of mine when I first played God Of War. Quan Chi and Shang Tsung are all time faves of mine too.

    Lets see Miranda from Mass Effect 2 the woman who she's modeled on & voiced by is breathtaking(i'm watching way too much Seinfeld).Garrus from Mass Effect & Captain Price from COD both are characters that I cared about.Oh & Theresa from the Fable series who is voiced by some sultry sounding english woman.

    Snake, Nathan Drake, Max Payne, Tommy Vercetti are a few of mine. Fairly obvious ones I suppose.

    Mii Hitler and Mii Hulk Hogan, together in a canoe.

    Seriously, Kefka, Vega and Frog.

    Ah, good old Crash Bandicoot.

    The most memorable character for me is probably Claude, the main character from Grand Theft Auto III. That game was simply amazing. I loved Final Fantasy X as well (don't hate me), and Auron was just such a badass.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,039 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    Tommy Vercetti, Max Payne, Nathan Dranke, Altair and Luigi (always felt he got a raw deal!!)

    I also loved Thwomps and I've no idea why.

    I loved Wario when he first appeared on the Gameboy and loved the game (Warioland) but now he's overkill.

    I tend to like the anti-heroes like:

    Kratos
    Sephiroth
    Akuma

    Toss-up between Nathan Drake, Tommy Vercetti and GLaDoS.

    But GLaDoS wins. :p


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,186 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Another vote for Shodan here. Fantastic character, and truly creepy. Honourable mentions for GLaDOS and Alex (Half Life) as well.

    Tough choice between Big Boss from the Metal Gear Solid games and Dante from Devil May Cry (not including Dante from DMC2, because that game doesn't exist. It was a bad dream, and they skipped DMC2 and just made DMC3 instead. Yes. That's what happened. DMC2 doesn't exist)

    Ryu Hayabusa.

    Roger Wilco - resonates with me for some reason... mostly because hes also a sarcastic, naive, dismal failure except when he saves the world by accident. :/

    Uh. Kratos, Raziel, Urdnot Wrex, Sephiroth, Kazuya, Riddick. Does Riddick count?

    Date Masamune from Sengoku Basara series.
    Frank Horrigan from...bonus points to anyone who knows this :P
    Freya from Final Fantasy 9

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,840 ✭✭✭Greyfox


    For me theirs two characters that stand out way above the rest, also if I was to list my top 10 characters from games/films/books/tv etc combined these would still be my top 2, they are Sephiroth (FF7) and Greyfox (MGS), I can't decide on which is 1st and 2nd though

    Sephiroths backstory builds him up as been not just the greatest soldier ever but quite possible the toughest games character ever, he really does have an air of invincibility about him. I loved the way other characters talk about him and all the "only Sephiroth could of done this", a "man with a dark cloak just walked through here" "Sephiroth was here" etc as it leaves you dying for his next appearance, a legend and a truely unforgettable character

    Greyfox has got to be the most mysterious character ever. Killing soldiers, making random appearances and making statements that don't make sense (they'll make sense soon) does he want to kill you or help you or both? Is their something familiar about him? What does Naomi know about him? When you do get the answers it makes for a really superb backstory with another few twists also Snakes fight with Greyfox is so much fun and Greyfox makes quite a few memerable quotes, a very unique, unforgettable and cool character that no MGS fan will ever forget
