Worst game characters this gen?

Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue. He's barely capable of cognizant speech, he collects shitty Sega tchotchkes, he gets an allowance from his grandma, and he's celibate. He's sort of the universal Sega fanboy! On top of that, he just looks like a worthless ponce.

You can't. There's no way she's even remotely worse than the "sexy" bloodthirsty Nazi killing vampire action heroine mentioned earlier.

He means Claire or Elaine or whatever the fuck her name is from Ninja Gaiden. And yes, worst character design fucking ever. All these others excel in that they don't make me want to throw up whenever I see them.
 
I'm going to echo the Sudeki nominations. Jesus Christ, its characters are just embarrassing. I rented it, played it for twenty minutes, took it back to Blockbuster, told them it wouldn't work in my system, and then got a new game. That's twenty minutes of my life I will never get back and I hate myself for it.
 
Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Every last character.

God, Rare needs some help.

Curse this purposely retarded computer in the school library..
 
I'm going with that WHINEY-ASS kid from the first zone of the enders. Just goes on, and on like some high pitched squeal. Drove me crazy.

The English voiceover just makes the whole character feel robotic. So I can see why you'd disagree with me.
Except I'm in UK and bought pal Shen2 on day of launch.

Yes he works better as a character in 2, but that does not change the fact he isn't "COOL" as indicated in the post I quoted.

I nominate Colette from Tales of Symphonia.
Speevy said:
This is not the best characters thread.

I loved all of the characters from ToS, especially Colette. Anyway, I'll go with Sphinx. While the Mummy had a lot of personality and charm, Sphinx just had this perennial smirk on his face with no real sign of emotion about what was going on. Special mention goes to the Warrior Within version of the Prince. Generic rage FTW.

No guys, he's talking about this:

Red Ninja had a great charater design, used horribly in a horrible game. A shame. :(

Now, for feral, amoral male fantasies embodied, with a healthy dose of design-by-committee:

Nah Kratos is one of the coolest this gen.

Lifetime achievement award.

I'm looking at this picture and thinking "holy shit, there was a Bubsy cartoon?"

Where is the picture from? It certainly wasn't in the game.

Yeah, he looks straight out of Mortal Kombat 4. And I don't mean that in a good way.

There's a pretty good reason why he's an embodiment of hatred, you know. :p
 
How could you hate Makar or Goombella? They're a couple of great characters.

All my nominees have already been covered, but there should be a special Most Superfluous Character award for the codec lady in RE4. What was the point of all that?

Speaking of that, pretty much all of the characters in the more recent MK games have a pretty good lead on even Kratos for worst character designs. Tao Feng is up there, too.

Next: generic spiky-haired lead in PS2 launch game GET

I gotta give it to the kid from advance wars dual strike.

"owned"
"wow we owned them"
"Let's drop them like a phat beat"

and about a million other catch phrases that I probably wouldn't be aware of if it wasn't for this forum.

You forgot my favorite (I'm gonna screw it up though):

Get the plates because you guys got served!
 
What about Genus from Tales of Symphonia?

Hell, a bunch of people from Tales of Symphonia and a bunch from Baten Kaitos.

Remember:
"Watch out for the magic!"

More "generic rage"? BS. He is rage!! His character design and history was always as such and already have a reputation for himself long before with the way some NPC spoke of him like one tha refused any help from him because he knew what Kratos was like. There is a reason why Prince of Persia was labeled as such, his character was changed nearly the sake of changing him.

What's next "generic passiveness"?!!

yay dante with his bra and blinx guitar!
 
Vaan from FFXII. The game hasn't even been released but just from what we have seen from him so far is enough to make me hate him. He looks like a girl, and for a guy who is going to save the world from destruction, he really doesnt look strong enough to beat up a doll.

I also hate Genis from Tales of Symphonia. Most of the TOS crew sucked ass, but genis really got to my nerves. Everytime he spoke I had to put it on mute because I couldnt stand him talking.
 
Ramirez said:
Arbiter as worst char this gen?GTFO.It's Firez though,what should I expect >.>

Myself said:
It's a shame because they both have good dialogues and very good voices too

Ok, maybe I should say that I was judging it only based on the art, graphics, gfx, model,.-...etc category
and because they're from H2 :P
 
Raiden from MGS2
Tidus from FF10
Vaan from FF12

Less girly men and more actual girls please. The designs in those Xenosaga games are pretty friggin bad as well.
