Easily the most annoying character that I have encountered this year, she was not, in anyway, funny.

I'm definitely going with this guy, such a messed up, but interesting character that slowly goes mad, and as a player you sense every single beat of his madness while playing the game.
Captain Martin Walker (Spec Ops: The Line) Voiced by (who else?) Nolan North.
Honorable mentions go to:
The dude you play in Hotline Miami
The ninja you play in the Mark of the Ninja
The random person you meet online in the form of these guys in Journey.
And of course the very popular Lee Everett from Telltale Game's The Walking Dead Series.

Pfft, super easy.
Yeah, I'm gonna go with this one.
I haven't played many games this year, though, so I feel unqualified to make a judgment. I really need to get my hands on The Walking Dead...

My condolences, pal. (Though I guess it's better to be scarred by the burning truth now rather than later.

Didn't have one-Hasn't been a great year for me gaming wise I haven't had a favorite character in a game since Bayonetta really.
OK I'm going to change mine to that too then, because this asshole really *really* made me want to kill him.

I liked Kat, but I really felt blueballed by the way the story went. I hope in the second game they finally flesh her out, because she deserves to be.

The Walking Dead is where it's at, but Clem is the real star of the show.
Haha. I know the game strays from the classic formula, but without a classic PM cast, what does it have D:My condolences, pal. (Though I guess it's better to be scarred by the burning truth now rather than later.

He gets the top slot, though Clem should really be paired with them as their dynamic was a character all its own.
Yep. Either Yasha or Handsome Jack.
The biggest surprise for me, and the best part of Borderlands 2. He was the perfect villain.
Haven't finished the game yet (Hotline Miami) but he's a badass.
I have to give a shoutout to our nameless guy here, even though he isn't exactly a character and more of a blank slate that you murdered things with.

Another vote here for Lee & Clem.
Haha, I forgot about him.
I hope we see more Alan Wake. Definitely one of my favourite games this gen.

Really, Wei Shen is a big answer? Sleeping Dogs executes it's narrative well enough and the voice acting is strong, but a Dangerous Undercover Cop Who Is Volatile And Aggressive But Gets Results is the best character of the year?
Can't decide between her or...
Human and vulnerable in the way he reacts to the horrors around him, but no pushover either. I like how tragic and 'gray' he is.
what game is this???

Kid Icarus Uprising is truly excellent. Really entertaining characters, localisation did an incredible job.
My favourite new characters this year are Lee, Clementine and Kenny from The Walking Dead. Lee and Clem speak for themselves, but I also love what Telltale did with Kenny.

Fear the wrath of my pyroblasters, space weirdos!
I like you OP.
Also I really am a big fan of Lee and Clem from TT The Walking Dead.
Also motherfucking Sigma from VLR.
Oh God, SHAFT Head Tilt really IS a thing.
1. Kat / Gravity Rush:
Love her inner-monologue, and she seems like a great balance of personality and heroism that doesn't take either too far in the wrong direction. So many characters now-a-days seem to go out of their way to make me dislike SOMETHING about them, but Kat reminds me of simplier times, where heroes didn't need thick shades of gray, and forced "maturity" in order to be cool, and I really appreciate her for that.
2. Dust / Dust, and Elysian Tail:
After watching this guy develop for years, I'm happy to get to know him now! Jumped into those Megaman/Zero-like positions, when there is no Megaman to fill them His calm and angered sides were handled really well in voicework, and I liked how he kinda accepted things, and went on with the story, rather than get angsty and whiney, which he very well could have. The "buddy" nature of he, Fidget, and Ahrah were pretty level-headed too, and I was quite happy to see they never got truly mean-spirited to each other, as this happens often in such stories.
3. Frayne / Growlanser IV:
I... really wanted to kind of ignore her at first. She's the expected nice girl that your hero has to fall for, to some degree; The Rinoa, the Aerith... and she has amnesia! OH BOY!
But I was really impressed with how she discovered a new talent from this;
, and that wove itself back into her overall character. She then became a nice outlet for the feeling of creative minds, and it made me kinda sad to think that you don't see many characters in games which explore said talent.
I could relate to much of the way she broke things down from that point on. I found myself liking her much more than I thought I would. Well played Growlanser!

That first post nails it for me.
Finished season 1 yesterday and Lee is definitely great, mostly because you can relate to him even though he's exposed to situations you've never been exposed to.

Javik from Mass Effect 3, has some funny lines. He shouldn't have been DLC.

Hah, I'd forgotten about ol Scratchy boy. For some reason I thought American Nightmare was last year. I'll have to figure him into my equations somewhere.
Lee Everett - The Walking Dead
Also, runner-ups:
Motherfucker.
Mordin Solus
Probably the only character that got an awesome arc that maintained a high degree of consistency and maturity, all this while remaining likeable and entertaining.

Varric from Dragon Age II deserves a mention, as well as Roche and Letho from The Witcher II.
Oh, oh, also I'm going to be pretentious and say Black Mesa as reimagined in the source mod.
