To be honest, my favorite game character have to be Nightmare from the Soul Calibur series. The reason for this is because I grew up playing Soul Calibur and all I did was play with Nightmare. I don't know why but I was just attracted to using him in battle. (That does sound kind of wierd but oh well.) It may sound like I have a fetish for him, but I really don't know, maybe I do. I memorized all his combos and moves, I memorized everything he said before and after a battle. It was like I became Nightmare. With me mastering Nightmare I claimed the Number 1 spot in Soul Calibur 1 & 2 in Rhode Island. There is my story, win or lose it was great letting everyone know my favorite character! Good Luck To Everyone Else!

One of my favorite characters is Ratchet from the Ratchet & Clank series. I love all the humor he has.

Ken from Street Fighter.

Now before people begin to label me as blasphemous for choosing him over Ryu, let me explain. Ken's stylish, quick, and deadly, but still a goofball who knows how to have fun. He brings a balance to Ryu that everyone can appreciate. Whether it's a ridiculously chainable super from SF3 or a hurricane kick glitch a la MvC2, Ken always puts up a good fight and delivers with a smile. Being a champion while still having a family and a hot wife? That's the American dream.

Oh yeah, and his Shoryuken is on fire. That's just plain badass.

The mosquito from Mister Mosquito, cause despite how much I hate being bitten, biting other people and annoying them for a summer is great fun

Roger Wilco from Space Quest. I spent way too many hours of my youth playing that game and growing up with the impression that no matter how lowly my future career may be I too may one day end saving the universe inbetween floor waxings.

I like Viewtiful Joe.
Hes like a power ranger, but not.
Its kinda hard to describe, but hes the best in my eyes.

Character: Raz
Series: Psychonauts
Why: Just such a great likeable character that most people can relate to in some way.

snake just owns every character in this thread.
series:metal gear
why: He's just too cool.

tako

07-31-2008, 08:05 PM

I guess I would have to say altair from assassins creed. He is a very morally straightforward person who is confused about his life and his perception of reality. For some reason I can relate to that. Also he is a badass assassin.

Archangelrey

07-31-2008, 08:15 PM

Character: Wario
Series: Wario Warez
Why? He love doing things that no other character would think of doing. And his catch-phase "It's meee Wariio!" is classic.

My favorite video game character is Mario. He is the father of video gaming and without him, video games
would not be what they are today. Without mario, platform games wouldn't have existed. Every time there
is a mario game, it changes the whole video game industry because they are so innovative.

anadune

07-31-2008, 08:43 PM

Character: Mega Man!
Series: 8-bit Mega Man series
Why: Stoic, calm under pressure, can absorb abilities of others, and has a cannon for an arm, what more do you need?

winterice

07-31-2008, 08:44 PM

Solid Snake from the MGS series. It was one of the best games ever I played on the PS back in the days. Psycho Mantis was the F**k up boss. I missed whatever clue that gave you the tactics to beat him. Great game.

cheapkevin

07-31-2008, 08:47 PM

My favorite video game character is Mario from the Super Mario series. He's not particularly deep, but his platforming games are among my favorite games of all time, which is all that really matters to me.

Hostile

07-31-2008, 08:59 PM

Link from the Legend of Zelda series. He's usually a great guy if you don't take attacking chickens into account. All his reincarnations are fated to save Zelda. Good man.

I wanted to say Mario but I don't think he's much of a "character".

archangelreb

07-31-2008, 09:03 PM

My fav is Master Chief because he is a bada@@.

XxFuRy2Xx

07-31-2008, 09:17 PM

Character: Luigi

Series: Super Mario Bros.

The reason I like Luigi is because I could identify with him. Everyone loved Mario but looked over Luigi, I never liked that. He has a nice underdog quality to him. That's why he's one of my favorite characters. Plus, I really like the color green.

Snake from Metal Gear Solid

he's just so badass, and he keeps doing what he does best even at an old age

07-31-2008, 09:36 PM

My favorite game character would have to be Mr. 47 from the Hitman series. Throughout my years of playing this great series of games, I've performed hit after hit as 47, but to what end? His greed proves insatiable, but one can only wonder what, if anything, he spends that money on. He's attempted to quit his life of professional killing to join the church, but how could such an unholy man find himself suitable to serve God? It's this conflicted nature of 47's that makes me like him so much.

Dante Devil

07-31-2008, 10:06 PM

I guess my favorite character has to be Atlas from Bioshock. The way he was able to manipulate the player into aiding his cause and then turning on him revealing his true nature was done very well.

I loved the use of the phrase, "Would you kindly."

"Would you kindly pick up that shortwave radio?"

"Now, would you kindly find a crowbar or something?"

"Careful now...would you kindly lower that weapon for a moment?"

"Now would you kindly go to Ryan's office and kill the son of a bitch?"

machoman_93

07-31-2008, 10:14 PM

My favorite character has to be Sho Minamoto from The World Ends With You (If you don't have it, you seriously have to get it!) He's my favorite character cause he reminds me of how I used to be(obsessed with math, I taught myself multiplication) He also has the best catchprase in any DS game (So Zetta Slow!)

Snake can survive microwaves even when his age is rapidly growing! Truely my favorite character!

naiku

07-31-2008, 10:23 PM

I have a lot of favorite character but just to be different I will pick Tarma from the Metal Slug series. Just a overall cool character and I always seem to have better luck with him then with any other character.

Thanks OP

My favorite character would be Kratos from the God of War games because he is a very original character and a badass.

vic_x51

07-31-2008, 10:53 PM

favorite character:Ryu
series: street fighter 2 turbo
why: Got this game when I was little, had no idea how to play, never heard of a fighting game yet just platformers. The first time i boot it up I picked ryu and accidentally triggered a hadouken, a smile hit my face that still hasn't gone away. Thus was the start of my fighting game genre love, thanks Ryu!

Just a quick question, what are the alternate games if we already have Motorstorm?

garfep

07-31-2008, 11:04 PM

Ness from EarthBound/Mother 2/Super Smash Bros.

I guess it's because I played EB for the first time when I was really young, but I think a child protagonist going on a huge epic journey is such an awesome foundation for a story. It's really interesting playing through the game (with all of its weird quirky humor) and thinking how events would be perceived through a child's eyes as opposed to an adult. I'll admit that I almost always play as Ness in Smash and rejoiced that he made the cut for Brawl.

He's just such an innocent-looking, pure character. He is all guts and good choices and honesty, and while that's a little cookie-cutter, it's fun having such a clean cut main character to look back on in a world when anti-heros are becoming ever more popular.

quantumcreep

08-01-2008, 12:19 AM

This is a tough one to field, but I'm going to go with the Marine from the Doom series. No backstory, no friends, not even any quirky Duke Nukem-esque quotes. The most you'll ever see of the guy is from your health bar in the HUD, and, later on, from cutscenes. But what this character lacks in charisma, he more than certainly makes up in historic bloodshed, marking his place as one of the most controversial and influential video game characters of all time.

Ness3

08-01-2008, 12:28 AM

Posted as adam on the OP's site.

Character: Ness
Series: EarthBound/Mother 2(JP)
Why: He stood against evil in a world full of corruption. Ness was just a seemingly normal boy with psychic powers until a bee from the future told him to save the world. And that he did. With a bat and a few friends, he saved the world. Quite the hero to me!

Character: Guybrush Threepwood

Game /Series: Monkey Island series from Lucasarts, in particular "Escape from Monkey Island"

Although I could take the easy way out and say Solid Snake, I think I'm going to think outside the box and say Psycho Mantis from Metal Gear Solid on the PS1. He has to be one of the most memorable bosses I've come across. His ability to read your memory card and tell you what your favorite games are made his persona that much more convincing.

shinryuu

08-01-2008, 01:47 AM

Jason said... Favorite character? Oh man.
I have to pick Proto Man, from the Mega Man series. He sports a cooler looking suit than Mega Man, even wears shades, and to top it off, a cape and a shield. He also has his own little theme song when he makes an entrance.

pure awesome.

Hands Down Master Chief, Spartan-117 Badass, savior of the universe no one cant dislike him.

My favorite character would have to be Drake from Uncharted. He may as well be a world champion jump from ledge to ledger in addition to being proficient with every concievable firearm including world war 2 era guns. Lastly he is quick witted and gets the girl. What's not to like.

Jake_Jenova

08-01-2008, 04:59 AM

Favorite Character: Guy
Series: Tales of the Abyss [PS2]
Why: Okay, if you have never played the game then play it! Anyways Guy is by far one of the most memorable characters from that game. He is loyal to his friends, pretty nice, and has one of the most funniest girl phobias ever ha.

Prince from the Prince of Persia series... funny, smart, and popular with ladies! =P

Just a quick question, what are the alternate games if we already have Motorstorm?

If you win, you may contact me about your other options. :lol:

missingno81

08-01-2008, 06:33 AM

I'd have to go with Ken from Street Fighter; mainly because SF2 was the first game I played and held my own with Ken even though it took me 2 months before I learned how to pull off his Dragon Punch.

thadwhit

08-01-2008, 07:09 AM

I have to go with Link. He does not speak, yet is charming; he is always named after me, and he always gets the princess. Incidentally, I am quite sure Nintendo are returning to the toon style Link and will be announcing a sequel to Windwaker.

MrDemonicAngel

08-01-2008, 08:04 AM

Etna from Disgaea (1 and 2).

She is one of the only characters who can make me laugh aloud.

blakhawkjohn

08-01-2008, 09:19 AM

Character: Max Payne
Game: Max Payne
Why: I felt the voice acting of Max created a gritty mood to the game that I will always remember. Something that happens rarely in my opinion.

Rather than giving away a game, maybe $ should be better used for a real domain or at least forwarding from a .com to your blogspot?

08-01-2008, 09:42 AM

Auron from Final Fantasy X because he's the biggest badass in the history of... pretty much anything.

ZenTrickster

08-01-2008, 09:51 AM

I'm not going to lie. My favorite character is Ness from Earthbound. I mean, he's just some unassuming kid who happens to be gifted with enough psychic powers to annihilate a planet. All he wants to do is play baseball. God I love that game.

dedgeu2

08-01-2008, 09:53 AM

Favorite character is Snake from Metal Gear Solid. He is always serious and hardly (if ever) smiles even when he uses sarcasm. His delivery, to me, is unique.

tallguyy808

08-01-2008, 09:59 AM

Cole Train from gears of war.
Just because hes cool, a badass and funny. Whoooo!

v1et r1ce

08-01-2008, 10:05 AM

My favorite is hard to say, but probably Carmine from Gears of War. I dunno why, but he looks kinda cool with his mask and all. haha

micro44

08-01-2008, 11:17 AM

My favorite game character of all time is Barrett Wallace from Final Fantasy VII. Do I even really need to explain why? He has a machine gun grafted to his arm!! Badass Awesome!!

willardhaven

08-01-2008, 11:39 AM

Too many to list, I'll go with the Prince from Prince of Persia (2003).

Unlike many game characters he's actually sympathetic and entertaining to listen to. Plus while he is arrogant at times, he seems a kind fellow.

BigD63

08-01-2008, 11:45 AM

Revolver Ocelot is my favorite, he is so badass.

darkknight35

08-01-2008, 11:54 AM

For me, its definiely Fox from the original SNES Starfox. I loved that game with a passion, and it was insanely challenging. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever truly beat that game....

bizmat

08-01-2008, 12:17 PM

My favorite video game character has to be Ratchet from the Ratchet and Clank series. I always loved playing those games because of the humor and the fun gameplay.

DirkBelig

08-01-2008, 12:30 PM

Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series. She's a total babe, she's rich, she's tough and resourceful, and she packs an awesome pair of 38s. She also has a bunch of firearms.

berzirk

08-01-2008, 12:44 PM

That would be Revan from KOTOR. There was so much mystery and bad-assedness surrounding that character. The game was epic, the story twist was probably the best ever in a game, and by the end of the game you really felt like you were this powerful Star Wars Universe character.

-berzirk

crunchberries

08-01-2008, 02:11 PM

My favorite video game character would have to be Link from the Legend of Zelda series. He always felt like such a tragic figure to me, eternally destined to save Zelda and be a hero until the end of time, and yet, he never descended into the depths of sheer angst that other characters, when put in his position, have.

In fact, his trials and tribulations served to make him a stronger, wiser man at the end.

title: Super robot wars og

there is no other female that i can think of that can have the most amazing quotes during fight scenes. she was the most memorable character I got after playing through the super robot games. if anyone has the chance, youtube her up, whenever shes in a different mech she has something different to say

08-01-2008, 02:20 PM

My favorite character is Yoshi from the Super Mario universe since hes adorable and I loved his platformers

Shadowlink

08-01-2008, 02:41 PM

Yoshi from the super mario series, I don't really know why but ever since I played the Super Mario World on the SNES, I used to get him out of the blocks all the time, So then I learned he has his own game Called Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and then I bought it and I really liked that game, after that I got Yoshi's Story. I know many of you will say the game sucks but I liked it, it was just to short. So that is why I like Yoshi the character because of his games.

My favorite game character would have to be the master chief from the Halo series. I think he is my favorite because his is like the ultimate world hero, not just an American hero. He was a representation of hope for earth and i think thats really cool.

08-01-2008, 07:38 PM

When it comes down to it this question leads me down a lot of different memories. I think new school, old school, known characters, unknown ones,etc...
My final answer will have to be a character many will not remember.

Chaz Ashley from Phantasy Star 4 "The End of the Millineum".

This is a game from way back in the Sega Genesis days of RPG that has recently reappeared in the Sega Genesis Collection that has gone multi-console.

He plays the role of a young mercenary unsure in his own abilities and potential forced to rise to the occasion for the greater good of everyone no matter the potential outcomes. The character just spoke of that uncertainty of the future and as to what ones own worth really means in the larger scheme of the world. Chaz shows great determination to do what is right in the face of personal tragedy , uncertain outcomes and hopeless situations. To put it simply he is what a hero should be in a game.
Not some tough guy. Not someone so powerfull they are nearly certain to win. Chaz is just someone wanting to help change whats wrong in the world in spite of the strong potential of failing simply because someone needed to.

08-01-2008, 07:43 PM

My favorite character is Master Chief, who is from the Halo series. He is my favorite because of his mask. Because of his mask, it has a type of psychological effect that makes me feel more one with the character.

Kandal

08-01-2008, 10:42 PM

My favorite game character would have to be Ryu! He is a character from the Street Fighters Series. I choose Ryu for many of reasons. First of all he's cool and looks sexy like I do. Secondly he shares the same interest as I do! That interest would be fighting games =) Lastly, I like Ryu because Chun-Li digs him.

N1c0_ds

08-01-2008, 11:13 PM

Mine is Packie from GTA IV. I just love the way he talks and the missions with him. He's not as annoying as the other characters you deal with and in general his missions always end up with explosions.

Nesmaster75

08-02-2008, 12:05 AM

My favorite character would have to be Cloud from the Final Fantasy VII series (I love how it has it's own series too). He's the kind of hero who knows what to do at the right times and shows true emotion when needed. He's not a typical meathead hero like Marcus Fenix (who I love too, but I'm just making a point). Cloud is that rare hero who has heart and balls at the same time. I know a lot of people may pick this character, but Cloud is the first gaming character I actually got close to.

arazfar

08-02-2008, 12:05 AM

My favorite video game character is Master Chief from the Halo series. I think hes a good character because there is a little bit of every body in him. He doesn't have too much of a personality, and you never really see his face. Hes the perfect generic character. When I play as him, I feel like I am him. In games where the character has too much of a personality, I feel like I'm playing some one elses story.

ParticleReality

08-02-2008, 12:44 AM

Character: Dante
Series: Devil May Cry
Why: Dante is everything I love about action movies rolled into one. He sounds like he just walked out of all my favorite cheesy 80's action movies, but has all the moves you find in alot of big budget Asia movies.

I hope I win, I might be getting a PS3 tomorrow and it would be nice to have a few games with it. Good luck to everyone though!

KaleKatsura

08-02-2008, 02:45 AM

KaleKatsura

Favorite Character:
For me, Toan (Dark Cloud, PS2) has to be my favorite character of all time.

Toan didn't act like some harbringer of the PWN, he wasn't some dude who was a complete pain in the rear to deal with. He really WAS just a normal guy who got drug into something way bigger than anyone could imagine.

The other reason I've chosen Toan is because of the fact that Dark Cloud was the first game that I owned that both I and my Girlfriend (she was still living in Maine at this time, and I hadn't proposed yet to her) owned. Her favorite character (Xiao) was extremely close to Toan, much like My<i> Now </i> fiancee are, even though it was in a diffrent way.

There's also the fact that, like Toan, I live in a very heavy agricultural area, so I can share the pain when it comes to being bored out of your SKULL sometimes.

I guess, those are the main reasons I've chosen Toan. Its not because he's a badass, or because I'm best at playing him, Its because I can actually relate to him.

Series: 1994's Sonic & Knuckles

Knuckles my favorite character because he added a refreshing attitude to my favorite series when I was a child. He also added a new twist into the gameplay which completely refreshed my interest in the series.

I would have to say Link from the Zelda series. Ignoring the fact that this series effectively inducted me into the world of video games, I like the fact that Link has no superhuman pretensions. He may have the lineage, sure, but for the most part, he's just a dude with a sword who always finds a way to make it happen.

deadgopher

08-02-2008, 06:10 PM

I'm gonna have to go with Eli Vance of Half-Life 2. Valve animated him so well, cast his voice perfectly; the character comes off as extremely human and very easy to become attached to. Definitely someone you'd love to be around in real life.

joeboosauce

08-02-2008, 06:34 PM

My favorite character is Kain from the Legacy of Kain series. He is the ultimate anti-hero. He went from an unjustifiably arrogant nobleman to well justified arrogant badass. Funny thing is he is really not much arrogant anymore just burdened by his near godhood. A complex and fascinating character.

YodaEXE

08-02-2008, 07:00 PM

I would have to say Mega Man, from the, obviously, Mega Man series. I love the fact that he runs around shooting stuff out of his arm, and basically absorbing the abilities of people. It's just far too cool.

bebo144

08-02-2008, 07:31 PM

Character: Gordon Freeman

Game: Half Life Series

Why? Because he can fly. Look down, no legs, he's floating. Even with his lack of legs he can still drive a car really fast just for kicks. If thats not badass, well, then I dont know what is.

Mad_Dawk

08-02-2008, 11:17 PM

I gotta say its good old Solid Snake. not only was he one of my first gaming characters that I ever really attached too, seeing him deal with evertyhing and still be tottally kick-ass, even in his old age... Really speaks to me how he continues with live and the burdens he bears. Your my boy Snake, your my boy!

I'm not too sure why he's my favorite, but it's probably the same reason I like any good character;He was made into a interesting character with a interesting personality, he was given a cool occupation (at least I think so), and he's in one of my favorite games!

My favorite would have to be Dominic Santiago from Gears of War. He is Marcus Fenix's go to guy and an all around good soldier. Always there when needed and just as tough as the protagonist of Gears of War.

freakyzeeky

08-03-2008, 12:30 AM

Cecil from Final Fantasy IV, because he stood up against a tyrant kingdom and ended up saving the world, and himself too. That is inspiring to me. :)

Luigi from the Mario Bros. The Mario series is by far my favorite. I think it may have started because green was my favorite color as a kid. He's the best.

greydemise

08-03-2008, 03:19 AM

My favorite main character would have to be Lucas from Indigo Prophecy, no matter how you make him, he is a good character to the core, and anyone would be able to feel compassion towards him and his situation, especially with how he reacts to various situations that MAY occur during the game. Putting Lucas in an open ended game only makes his character more "human" since we have to watch him decide on certain things that can make or break the fates of those around him.

Shane said... One of my favorites would have to be Storm 1 from EDF 2017. Few video game characters can say they've saved the Earth from giant insects from outer space that use robots and death rays.

"Pimple" from the Battle Toads series.
Real Name: George Pie
Height: 7'9"
Weight: 280lbs
Colour: Brown
Profile: Team tough guy who is built like a tank. Though lacking finesse, his smash hits are highly effective due to their sheer size.

He is my favorite character because, one, he is a toad named Pimple, and ,two, he kicks some serious arse.

BattleToads forever!

Character: Deckard Cain
Game: Diablo Series

His, "Stay awhile and listen..." puts a smile on my face every time. Plus he identifies my loot for me.

My favorite videogame character is Commander Sheperd from Mass Effect. It's because he looks and acts exactly how you want him to. If you want to him to be a nice guy and help everybody out you can have him do that. Or, if you want him to be a sarcastic asshole and a senseless murderer, you can have him do that, too. Sheperd may not be the same person to everybody that plays, but everybody loves him just the same.

Character: Wander
Game: Shadow of the Colossus
Reason: The sheer fact that he takes down 16 monsters on his own is pretty impressive.

I'm going with Vivi from Final Fantasy IX. His personality and how his story developed along with the classic Black Mage look was the best part of the game, in my opinion. My favorite Final Fantasy. One of my favorite games.

My favorite video game character is Dante from the Devil May Cry series. There's a lot I like about him. He's a very skilled sword + gunman who's witty with a cool personality. He does come off as a cocky A-hole sometimes but he seriously has the skills to back himself up. Despite his arrogant attitude at times, he does have a deeper, compassionate side to him. Dante is half man, half demon and all badass. That is why he is my favorite video game character.

I am going to have to say Niko Bellic from Grand Theft Auto 4 is my favorite character. He was a very sensible guy who only wanted to look out for his brother,Roman, and find why a certain person killed his squad. Also, he was very cool since they made him brave in every scene and the people who produced the game chose the right voice.

Favorite character would have to be Kane from the Command and Conquer series.
Reasons would be is that he is a "modern" day iron fisted leader. He knows what he wants, and what to do to get it. Yet, no matter how hard he tries, he seems to fail. Plus, he resurrects more then Jason!

I'd choose Pikachu from Pokemon. He promotes friendship, fair play and is a loyal friend and protagonist in a series that promotes wholesome values in a world where these are seemingly more and more scarce.

Additionally, he is easy to draw, universally recognizable, and promotes creativity when creating characters and attributes. While he may not be the most hardcore character out there, he can hold his own in Super Smash Brothers (1,2,and 3)

As much as I hate common answers, my favorite is Kratos ... for he is the greatos. One man versus the gods with nothing to lose; what is there not to like.

My favorite character has to be Sam Fisher from the Splinter Cell series. He's my favorite because he always completes his mission in a cool, calm, collective matter, and he always gets the job done.

My favorite game character is Augustus Cole from Gears of War. His on the football field attitude is priceless. While I'm not a sports fan, I can see the correlation between war and sports, the character just fits perfectly. He has one of the best senses of humor (considering the situation) I've seen in a game to date.

It would have to be Cloud from FFVII, since he overcome a lot to help his friends and save the world.

I'd have to go with Lara Croft. She's a total babe and she'll kick anybody's ass that's in her way. What more can you ask for?

Would have to go with Abe from the Oddworld guys.

Why? I got into gaming with the PS1 and the first two games that I got with it were Abe's Odyssey and Spyro 1. The Oddworld games had such character and Abe was an awesome protagonist that did more for me than most modern games.

My favorite video game character comes from the video game that ruled my life when I was younger. The character I'm talking about is Axel Stone from the Streets of Rage series. I've just played this game way to much when I was younger. My dad had a sega master system and always played games with me but it wasn't until I played Streets of Rage that I really got hooked on gaming.

My favorite character of all time would have to be Mario. I always have to go with the classics. Princess Peach always getting caught by that evil Bowser. Mario always has to come to the rescue. The fat Average Joe plumber with is huge mustache and awesome Italian accent. What is there not to like about him. Mario is what got me into video games and I respect him for that. Mario this post is for you!

Name: Tomba
From: Tomba! for PS

My favorite charector is sora from kingdom hearts because he reminds us of all our childhood fantasies of being pure, good and innocent with the craving of imagination and sense for adventure ...and reminds us the we must fight for and protect those we love no matter what and reach down in ourselves to find the courage to be a better person and in turn make the world a better place.
