Link, Mario, Samus, and Master Chief have clearly defined personalities.... Though Link's varies from game to game, I guess

Well, Samus didn't have a personality until Fusion, and I don't know about how she is in the Prime trilogy (i'll have to play them sometime), Mario doesn't have a personality, and that's a fact, Link isn't even the same guy in each game.

About Master Chief, dunno.

Anyway, can you at least agree with me that even if they are characters, none of them are good ones? I mean, who would read a book in which Mario, Link, Samus or Master Chief are the main characters?

Samus's personality was somewhat more subtle up to that point but was established as early as Metroid II and Super Metroid, Mario's personality has been clearly established sinc the mid-90's and I find it ridiculous that you would argue otherwise when he has such consistent characterization, and Link not being the same guy in each game doesn't change the fact that h's had a clearly established personality in every single game since 1998.

And no, I will not agree with you, on two points.

1. The criteria for a "good" character is not the same in games as it is in other media.

2. People read books starring Master Chief all the time.

Okay, here I go:

1. That isn't true, in my opinion, a good character is different depending on the type of story, not depending on the media.

2. Books starring Master Chief or books that are based on the Halo universe?

And I still don't agree that Mario has a personality, at least, a personality that isn't extremely shallow and stereotypical.
