I loved Ellie. She deserves to win. I hated Joel, but he's a great character as well.

 

[dragonbane]

Low spot? She's apparently the 8th best character in any game from this year xD

Yeah that's pretty low. We should re-vote and put her even higher

 

[Grisby]

Booker? Really? Guy's a blank slate.

And Luigi and Trevor? Some interesting choices in the top lists for sure.

 

[Dictator93]

Sergeant Rex Power Colt was my gaming character of 2013

also, how is luigi up there?

 

[TheWriter]

CoD dog Riley has more votes than Dante the demon killer. I liked Riley, so this amuses me.

 

[olimpia84]

Year of Ellen Page confirmed; she's in the top 10 twice!

 

[Immaculate]

Trevor was robbed.

.

Spoiler

I haven't played tlou

 

[GardenSirens]

Gotta love Trevor!

 

[Neiteio]

I'm totally cool with #1-7 and #10. Didn't play Beyond (backed out of my Gamestop preorder at the last second, due to reviews) or Ni No Kuni (love Ghibli and Joe Hisaishi, though).

 

[The Silver]

Ellie and Joel yeah no surprise there.

I like Trevor. the guy's a riot.

I have no idea why Luigi is up there

I disagree with Booker.

Lutece Twins were charming, that's about all I can say,

Elizabeth.....I guess I can let it slide.

Didn't care for Jodie or anyone in Beyond, pretty game though.

What is Sam doing up there instead of Armstrong?

Drippy is cool, I'll allow it.

 

[antronoid]

No surprises there really, nice list though.

 

[Castle Doctrine]

Glad Ellie won. Loved her. Ashley Johnson did an amazing job.

 

[Gintoki313]

Hey, one of my quotes made it to the OP. Alright!

Booker is pretty interesting when he talks about himself. The scene where he plays the guitar, the scene where he has to talk about his

Spoiler

time in the war

, and the whole ending with

Spoiler

his daughter

. On the outside he just seems like regular main character shooting guy, but if you listen to him he says some pretty interesting stuff.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Chrom made it in past Henry. I need to leave. This place is a lost caws.

Spoiler

Joeland Ellie destroyed everyone and everything in their way. I am impressed, although I haven't played the game

 

[Fjordson]

Trevor was robbed.

Absolutely.

Little surprised to see Booker up there. Even though I enjoyed Infinite a lot more than Last of Us, I thought Joel was a much better performance by Troy Baker. Booker was actually was sort of boring to me, Elizabeth really carried the game.

 

[HeelPower]

No love for Olive from Ni No Kuni ?

Spoiler

The could who accepts and healthily moves on from his mom's death at the end ?

Come on GAF

 

[GooeyHeat]

And Luigi ... ? Some interesting choices in the top lists for sure.

also, how is luigi up there?

I have no idea why Luigi is up there

Guys, it was his year.

His year, guys.

 

[DracoBlade]

YAY! Drippy and Ellie all the characters I essentially voted in my top 5 are repped. Though...


Please tell me Luigi was a concentrated troll pick....

 

[Sojgat]

More people need to play Blacklist, Majid Sadiq was awesome.

 

[Soriku]

Where is Alvin?

[Grisby]

Guys, it was his year.

His year, guys.

His game on 3DS was pretty damn good.

 

[nib95]

Nice to see Drippy in there! But yea, solid selection overall.

 

[Lime]

I loved Drippy!

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Shit list

 

[Kaswa101]

Deserved. Ellie and Joel ftw.

But Booker, seriously? I personally thought he had more personality in the demos than in the final game.

 

[John Harker]

I totally missed this vote, but I'd have tossed Mary Read out there from Black Flag. She is a surprisingly deep and interesringf character for a side member, tragic and I'd say one of the best in the series.

 

[Kusagari]

Armstrong not in the top 10?

Fuck this chickenshit list.

 

[maomaoIYP]

I saw the thread title and the only name that popped out instantly on top of my head was Ellie.
I leave satisfied.

 

[Romars202129]

Ugh.... Ellie number 1, what the hell. I didn't even like her. She had some good moments story wise, but to me she's just a crazy bug that screws with the base gameplay occasionally, that Naughty Dogg just had to add in cause dat Clementinez' so popular.
Please.
I'd give it to Joel, personally though, so don't hate me completely TLOU nuts.

 

[Fjordson]

But Booker, seriously? I personally thought he had more personality in the demos than in the final game.

Interesting observation, I sort of feel the same.

A lot of people will probably call me crazy for this, but I actually preferred the older sounding Booker from the very original gameplay demo a few years ago. From what I understand it was actually the same guy who voiced Garrett in the Thief games. I just thought he sounded interesting in the role.

And that's not meant as a slight against Troy Baker. Overall, he's great at what he does and he's had plenty of excellent performances for various games over the years (Joel being one of them) but Booker was fairly far down on the list for me.

(I know this best characters and not just voice performances, but they go hand in hand for me I guess)

 

[Hypron]

When did this vote take place? I completely missed it.

Spoiler

Senator Armstrong should have taken Sam's place. He's the best character in that game.

 

[NightmareTrigger]

#28, now that's some bullshit

 

[Skid 4 Dead]

So honored to have my quote up there!
