Characters you irrationally hate in games [Archive]

Biggest load of bull**** you've ever typed.

Really? I can try harder... :D

Honestly, I'm wracking my brain - but all my game-character hate is divided amongst characters who deserve it - like Liana (or whats-her-face) from Dark Messiah - talk about whiny and annoying. I'm sure the designer wanted to evoke some sympathy (Alyx style) but it came off cheesy most of the time.

I'm sorry, if you're going to mention condescending, goody-two-shoes arseholes, you can do no better than good King Graham - the biggest twit ever to grace our screens.

Imoen. My best memories of Baldur's Gate were the times she was captured.

Oh God 'STOP TOUCHING ME!' The number of times i nearly killed her. But still a pretty rational hatred.

Almost every character from Bad Day LA

Finally getting through Neverwinter Nights 2 and I HATE, for no reason, the Qara character. I wish she would just die!

Liana from Dark Messiah, she's the exact 3D version of a grown-up Peppermint Patty. I wanted to kill her for no reason and besides the fact the demon chick keeps telling me to.

Gwen. The most (in)famous character from Guild Wars is used as a helper for players in pre-searing and is hated by almost everyone, me included, though no one has a reason to.

Raiden. I never liked Raiden he just never caught on with me. He was far too immotional and never seemed to react logically in any of the situations he faced.

When did Imoen say that? Before I found out she was my sister (in-game of course) I kept trying to hit on her -so I'm sure I would have got her to say that in any of the 3 games

Shinitama in Oni. The abysmal voice actress didn't help either.

If you had her selected, and selected other party members one at a time, by about the third or fourth person she would say that. And it was such a brat voice, my hackles still raise thinking about it.

.....actually maybe that is crossing into irrationality. *muses*

Thats odd, most players I know either are completely disinterested or like her, I myself look forward to the mission pack where we get to see what happened to her... hmm

Lets see... Jester from Devil May Cry 3 and Kefka from FFVI. Kefka was a character I loved to hate, just cause he was Kefka. I need no other reason -_-

Anyone/anything striking that pose (outside Borat) should be shot.

Aeire! Though she was the only 'decent' love interest in the game -not to mention the only one you could have a happy ending with in Throne of Bhaal- I couldn't stand how she kept FREAKING OUT!

It's actually a pretty rational hatred though.

Aerie:
"You don't love me"
"I want to fly"
"I'm never going to fly"
"I'm going to kill myself if you don't sleep with me"
"Jaheira's a whore how can you like her"
"You slept with the Drow!"
"Ma-Ma, please don't say that Ma-Ma. MA-MA!"
"Boohoo, cry, sob"

Prince La-Croix... what a ****.

LOL... yeah. Thats pretty rasional though. Btw I had no idea anybody above the age of 4 actually likes Crash Bandicoot o.O

K... here's mine:

Kane from C&C (yes, I know... but come on. He's a wimp.)
The red locoroco... grrr
Alyx from Half Life 2
Master Chief

Wayne from Lost Planet. What an emo loser

Aerie ****ed the living crap out of me. Cry me a river. I found a better Mage/Cleric. Suck it.

James said it well. She is nothing but whiney and complacent and never shuts up. Got her impregnated because I was bored though. Shut her up >_<

Brad from Dead Rising. He always acted hardcore and then got himself shot and you would have to go do something to save his ass. Then in the end he just gets zombified anyway.

Jimmy from Starcraft. If he had just taken out Kerrigan when he had the chance the zerg would be over. We could still have Starcraft 2 where the Xel'Naga could return and kick everyone's asses.

DAMMIT thanks a lot

Oops sorry. Just forget I said that. Instead he eats an artificial lemon flavoured goblin cake and gets turned into a million magical purple butterflies. Damnit thats a spoiler too.

... an artificial lemon flavoured goblin cake ...

Oooh cool. The orange ones are my fave.

*sigh*

Now I got something to add to the saddest moments in gaming... "expecting a cool ending while playing dead rising only to get his hopes smashed by a nag forum member"

Magon

13-08-2007, 04:51 PM

Don't you know theres like 6 endings, but the coolest is when your just about to OMG!!! a giant Jabberwocky AHHHH!!!

Can't really think of any, except Jimmy (StarCraft).

James Donaldson

Yeah, but Jimbo and Kerrigan were supposed to be an item. I know it was only 2 chats or something, but it was only in Broodwars he started "I'm gonna kill you".

I thought Jim Raynor was a cool character...for an intergalatic hillbilly. Arthus on the other hand -I hated him and that was before he became a ****...or undead...or the Lich King.

Arthus was a bad rip-off of Kerrigan in my opinion. Seriously, at least Kerrigan got corrupted and had style. (somewhat, even though she didn't have a choice of "falling" or not). Arthus was a whiny excuse for a fallen paladin -_-
