Forums - Gaming Discussion - The one video game character you can't stand?

I'm just tired of seeing this character everywhere in the same outfit fighting the same villian for the same girl he never gets.

The main fellow from Final Fantasy X, and well, everybody else in that game. Ugh.. Close second is Ghirahim. At least Ghirahim was menacing.

Yeah, Kratos kills any innocent girls/men he can get his hands on, but we're somehow led to believe he cares for Pandora? He killed Poseidon's princess/captive just to open a door yet he wants Pandora to be safe? Shitty writing.

I'm more willing to believe Kratos killed his wife and daughter after being drunk instead of being misled by Ares.


lol, there's a thin line between shitty writing and lacking comprehension skills. It's obvious why he grew to care for Pandora so I'm not going to bother there.

What has Poseidon's princess got to do with his relationship with Pandora? So if I care for someone I like should I also care for someone I hate? Why would Kratos care for the lover of someone who tried to kill him?

And with the way she acted toward Kratos at first sight it's pretty obvious they already had past grievances, unless she was only imprisoned just before Kratos got to her and had knowledge of all the death and destruction he had caused, which is silly to assume.   

And the only time completely innocent people are killed is when you choose to for health or there just isn't another option, how is Kratos going to destroy the evil & capricious Gods of Olympus if he let's petty morality get in the way to the point where he refuses to go on without commiting a bad deed? Wouldn't be much of an adventure then. 

For me it was all the innocents he kept slaughtering in the cutscenes. He's a callous murderer of innocents. I get that he has a nice look and cool abilities, but as a character, he's unlikeable and poorly written. I still like playing the games though.

Hmm, why is that the case?


You know, it's a bit hard to say! I never liked any of the DK games, except the arcade classic. DK64 is the last DK thing I played, and I just hated it.

And whenever I look at the modern DK art, it just grosses me out. I think it's beyond ugly, and I don't even like the OSTs. :s

Wait, you don't like the OSTs? Wow, that's something I don't hear everyday!

Enzio from the bayonetta franchise. Makes me cringe every time I see him. Comic relief that isn't comical at all.



A lot of characters I don't like are from games I really like.
From ME3, James Vega - just a meathead.
Dragon Age 2, Varric. A wise arse.
DA:Inquisition, Solas. Liar and selfish, while 'wise' and claims to be helpful, just doesn't do that.

Majority of the cast of FF13 (don't like the game though), I'd say all but Fang. Infact I'm fine with Vanille too, aussie accent helps.

Less story/characterisation specific and all from Tekken. The Bears because I don't like fighting them. Lars because he is a crap character and Alisa because she's a robot of a Russia girl who speaks perfect fluent Japanese and not Russian.

EDIT: Wait, that's a lot more than 1.... er... go with Lars.



Hmm, pie.

I liked him, an affectionate homage to Joe Pesci, and it seemed, specifically, to the more hapless characters Pesci has played (Harry from Home Alone and the eponymous Cousin Vinny)



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Yeah, I don't understand the praise. They just annoy me. xD

For the record, I like your avatar. Rayman Origins and Legends are my favourite 2D platformers of all time.

Zeke from infamous and lots more like vivianne from da Inquisition, almost the entire ff 13 cast, etc.


I didn't realise until now but I freaking hated Zeke.
