Well... in terms of depth and just genrally being original most video game character are lame as they're generally very one dimensional:

Master Chief? lame
Marcus Fenix? lame
Lara Croft? lame (although the models and Angelina Jolie are hot)
The Prince? lame
Most Final Fantasy characters? generic and lame
Duke Nukem? funny, perverted, but still lame
Nathan Drake? interesting and funny, but fairly generic
Every character in Resident Evil? lame

If you want an interesting character play Planescape Torment or a Bioware game.

Let me counter these points

 

  • Master Chief- He doesnt do shit so i kinda agree hes lame.
  • Marcus Fenix - Boring and Stale as shit
  • Lara Croft - Hawt
  • The Prince- Dont give a shit about him
  • FF Characters JRPG Characters - Agree there all the same, just like i mentioned in the other thread about Anime characters.


 How can you say Drake is Lame? Hes the new bad ass! Hes not 6 foot 7 with a red mohawk and ex body builder screaming about some bullshit with no personality. Its those things he doesn't have which makes him a bad ass. Hes different and people like it. 

 

 

When he said "Great, power's out, and a girl's trapped. I swear to God, if there's a zombie around the next corner..." That automatically makes him better than 90% of game characters.

I don't think I used the word lame when describing nathan Drake . He's generic... because Naughty Dog saw Nathan Fillion and thought "let's make a game about him and call him Nathan Drake instead". Basically, we've seen his character before in TV and Film.
