Samus- Character whos being around in ten games,over twenty years, made camoe's in three games. 

 

Vs

 

Drake- Game was hyped to save the system, released, didnt, lived up to its named in sales (uncharted)  got packaged to make up sales, now has PS3 fans so desperate for attention for the series they have to vote for him against an established franchise. 

 

What a contest!

What do you like about Samus?  Other than the fact she's been in a ton of very important games?  You just gave a reason for why the character is important to the industry, but this is about which character you like more, so why do you like Samus? 

Summed it up right there.

 

I rather praise a character for many great games than one who just came out.  Uncharted is still a good game but Samus has simply being around longer and being in better games.

That's absurd for three reasons: Firstly, you're comparing a game to a character; second, you're comparing characters simply by the amount and longevity of the games that they happen to be in; thirdly, you're relating character to how good the overall game(s) is.

I thought this thread was simply about which character you thought to be the most appealing, not necessarily the most impacting.

Was Bilbo any lesser quality a character in The Hobbit before The Lord of the Rings series had released and many years had gone by reaching huge appeal? Is Cecil (FFIV) a lesser character for only being in one game? Terra(FFVI)?

I'm just curious... what criteria do you have for the making of a good character? Or more specfically, a videogame character?

 

On topic: Nathan Drake.

Translation- Wah wah wah vote for drake.

 

Nope, enjoyed Metroid games more than Uncharted.  So I enjoyed Samus Aran over drake. My vote stands for Samus, deal with it.

 

 

 

 

Your maturity level is off the scale... in the wrong direction.

Uncharted 2 is the best new IP this gen, imo.

Wow I seem to remember you praising Link and spurting out "If Link doesn't win then I'll lose faith in VGC community) something to that effect, then you vote for Samus (a big gaming icon) over a new character, Drake.

 

I mean its fine to vote for whoever you like, but make you're damn mind up.
