Top 5 most hated video game characters? :V
Thanks, Flamey. :] I included some of my pet names for them! :D And at no extra charge, I’m including ugly rants because a list is never enough! The last one comes from the heart. It really does…
1. Sofia Fucking Lamb | Bioshock 2
She’s a well-written character, and that’s what makes me hate her. Her actions, speeches, and morals are seriously twisted. She makes a great villain, and she’s meant to be hated. She succeeds at that because I want to rip her head off.
2. Steve Dumbass Burnside | Resident Evil Code Veronica
I don’t understand how people like him. If you do, fine, whatever. But the first time I met him in RECV, I was like “This guy is a fucking dumbass.” And so every time he was on screen, I just yelled at the TV “Shut up, dumbass!” Especially when he stole those golden lugers that Claire needed and he refused to hand them over because he thought he was so skilled with guns despite the fact that he nearly riddled Claire’s body with bullets the first time he met her… dumbass. I’m glad he died.
3. James Sunderland | Silent Hill 2
I don’t hate James. It’s more like he annoys me in general. O.K., a little back story first. I played the games out of order, so I went SH3, SH1, SH4, SH2, Origins, Homecoming and onward). Still, I had no idea what the twist was in SH2. I was around 15 or 16 when I played SH2 (birthday gift!), but from the first few minutes of the game when James starts whining about the letter from his dead wife, I was like “This guy totally killed her. That’s the only explanation.” Then you get to the end, and guess what, this guy totally fucking killed her.
SH2 didn’t impress me or “blow me away” like it did every one else on the planet. I saw that ending coming from miles away. So James bugs me because the fans put him and Mary up on this tower of awesomeness when he was a damn wife-killer all along. He didn’t want to see her suffer and all that… blah-blah-blah, I get it. But in terms of badassery among SH protagonists, James is nothing compared to Harry, Heather, or even Henry, for fuck’s sake, who faced off against God, rebirthed God, and then a serial killer.
I also don’t hate SH2. The other characters, Laura, Maria, Eddie, and Angela, are all fantastis, and their meanings are creative, thought-provoking, and deeper than any other game I’ve ever seen. James is just the turd at the bottom of the pile.
Those are the main ones, so let’s see who else I hate:
4. Chloe Frazer | Uncharted series
O.K., I’ll gloss over the fact that I never like the female character who fucks two best friends. Did she fuck Flynn? I dunno, but it’s a good bet that she did. I hate women that come between two best friends (same for men who come between two women). It’s distasteful and sickening.
Now that that’s out of the way, I will say that I mildly liked her in UC2. She has a good personality, and her witty remakes make for some of the best moments between her and Nate. However, in UC3, the writers destroyed her character, forcing her to lose all of her well-defined personality from UC2 and instead act as Nate’s conscience. Especially that whole scene on the bus right before Nate agrees to call in Elena for help. Chloe is all “We can’t do this, you’re risking too many lives” or some shit, when just in UC2, Chloe was all “let’s blow this shit up while I play both sides.” o.O UC3 destroyed the best parts of her from UC2, and I can’t like her character at all now.
5. Connor, Edward, and all those new “assassins” | Assassin’s Creed series
Connor, I liked you in the beginning, but you destroyed the assassin name by going off the deep end to settle a long standing rivalry. Sure, Ezio did the same thing, but he also saved all of fucking Italy in the process.
Edward, you killed the real assassin and pretended to be one. I don’y honestly know what else happened to you because I never finished your game. It sucked.
Arno and the others, you’re looking sexy as hell, but you’re not like your ancestors anymore, and I’m done with this series.
Aveline, when Steam puts your game on sale, I might buy it. You seem pretty awesome.
6. Brad Chickenshit Vickers | Resident Evil series
Dear Brad,
You’re a piece of shit, and I’m glad Nemesis raped your face.
Sincerely,
what’s left of the S.T.A.R.S. team after you ran off like a little bitch
