The Worst Characters of 2010

subject-zero-01_4307853326_ef9fb1d26c.jpg


Loved the game, but this one-dimensional dose of super angst I could've done without.
 
Rahxephon is never going to not talk shit about Nier.
Just ignore him and move on. He has his reasons, some of them valid, but who really gives a shit?

And yes Jack freaking sucks. If I wasn't such an achievement whore I would have worked out a way so that she would die in the suicide mission.
 
^ I forgot about Jack. I would have listed her as well, she was a dud. Her design is awful, especially with the tacky strap for a top and the whole bad girl thing didn't work.

I've yet to find anything he's said on Nier to be valid... so yeah, you're right. Who gives a shit?

I'm glad you missed out on what makes Nier truly special. Good for you!

So the previous 20 hours weren't special? What were they? Filler meant to hide away the creamy cookie center? I'm sorry I'm not going to chew threw a shit cookie if it maybe(and that is a big maybe) has a center made of sweet caramel.

And besides. When I go through to the 2nd ending and hate it, what then?

Me-"I hate this game still"

Nier People-"You need to get the third ending to truly feel for the characters."

Me-"The 4th ending sucks as well."

Nier People-"You need to get the 4th ending to really feel the love and sacrifice the characters have."

Me-"When will it end?"

And who gives a shit? Apparently you do.
 
If you hate the game after playing through Nier the second time then there's something wrong with you. Straight up. And that's all the more I'll say about it.

This nonsense has absolutely nothing to do with the thread.

Get out.

Oh I see the problem here. No one can dislike your beloved game or else they are wrong. Wow just wow.

Sorry for the off topic. Here I'll throw this one out there.

Probably the most bland lead I played all year.

Better then turning it into a Demon Souls thread. Which all threads will become.

She served no purpose at all in the game's story.The game would have been exactly the same if she didn't even exist.

True.. but hot design should have been the main character!

My pick as well

Was so happy when
she was the person in my crew who died during the ending
:lol
 
This might be an interesting thread. I just hope nobody says Kain-

Kaine

What an annoying character.

I'll agree that Samus was pretty bad, but she wasn't overtly offensive to me. Definitely disappointing, though. Vanille on the other hand... Ugh, I hated her so much, and I only played ~20 hours of the game.
 
Hahaaa.. I love Barry Wheeler! Also, Samus for Other M is choice. The character has been exploited a lot over the past few years but nothing could have prepared anyone for Team Ninja going above and beyond the call of duty to absolutely ruin this character. It's almost something to be admired.
 
i fucking hated Hope from FF13, Vanille was alright since she healed the party and etc.

Hope just always died when i had him.


That guy from Alan Wake was pretty entertaining, was he voiced by Joe Pesci, sounded like him :lol :lol :lol
I thought he was going to die in every scene.
 
Yes, let's get back on track.

Hope has 9 votes including the ones who said the whole cast of FFXIII, meaning about one in seven posts has been for him, and that's not even taking off the posts just fighting about nier. Good job! :lol
 
Bayonetta.

I know, I know. GAF loves the game. I could not even get through the game because of how annoying she was to me.

Don't blame it on Team Ninja, they didn't do the writing. The blame all belongs to Yoshio Sakamoto.

Vanille - Final Fantasy XIII
Click to expand...

This. How the fuck was I supposed to get past 5 hours into this game with her + Hope + Snow? I seriously do not understand how anyone finished this game.
 
I find it hard to belive FFXII has the worst cast of characters in 2010 when White Knight Chronicles and Valkyria Chronicles 2 came out this year.

And if you want worst voice acting there's Arc Rise Fantasia and this chick
1675x6u.jpg


Seriously, every time shes talks about darkness and light(which is all the time) I want her to die. It didn't help that she sounded pretty terrible, as if she was high.
 
Vanille.

That strumpet could wake me up with blow jobaga's and pancakeja's every morning For the rest of my life in every quantum derived universe and I would still despise the wench.

And don't even start me on her VA. I ended up really rather enjoying FFXIII after the initial disappointment (up and x for 12 hours) wore off, but the mute button on my amp got a work out in every scene she inhabited.
 
Sazh was awesome and was the sole reason I finished that horrible game. (though it wasn't that bad, it did have Sazh)

I'd say Alan Wake and his horrible story.

"And then there was a bridge"

Well said Alan, keep up the good work. Too bad you didn't jump off it and take your writing with you.

I might have made the line up.
 
Glad to see the Barry Defense Force in effect here. He is how an awkward, fat sidekick should be done.

Unlike this guy:

ensalved-pigsy-092210.jpg


He is disgusting, tries to kill you multiple times, mostly unfunny, and I wish I could have killed him.
 
Cast of Heavy Rain.

Her purpose was to sex the game up, and she did a good job.
 
I am going to go ahead and add votes for almost the whole cast of Alan Wake, with extra bonus points for Alan and especially fucking Barry Wheeler.
edit: ah and Hope and Jack from ME2 as well.
 
Speaking of Demon's Souls, I really hated this prick.

Patches, the Hyena

I'm not sure how I resisted kicking him into that pit. The cast in Demon's Souls was crap, but not the particularly annoying kind for the most part. Then again, there was also Ostrava, of Boletaria. The pinnacle of his character arc was
kill himself.
 
I'm probably gonna get in trouble because I know quite a few people liked her but:

Uggh.

Her anti-climactic arrest didn't help much either

You know what? There is not one good goddamned reason to hate Vanille. Not one. People hate her because she's upbeat and positive, and that's a pretty shitty reason to hate someone. Oh, sorry, Vanille has a positive attitude, what a cunt. So she has a high pitched voice. A high pitched voice is feminine. That's what a feminie voice is: high pitched. I don' t want Kathlene Turner's man voice in my game thank you. I'll take Vanille's every time. Jesus.

There are many good goddamn reasons to hate Vanille. She is fucking annoying and has like one "ooh" expression throughout the game.

Snow and Hope are right up there with that cunt. God I cant believe I finished that pos game.

People want sad and tragic characters in their RPGs. Vanilla didn't annoy me as much because she played the frail and hopelessly emotionally fragile character. She was fragile and pretty much personified insecurity at the same time. But people would hate her for her shitty lines and shitty VA, and I completely understand that too.

But Hope's cheeseball of a story is fucking pathetic, and some sort of cookie cutter attempt at a inspirational type of story. Oh and his VA sucks too.

No way. Most overhyped? Probably. But he reeks of awesome.

I don't see how people can hate on Snow. He was like a puppy, and you can't hate a puppy for being a puppy. :(

Snow looked like a douchebag, whined like a pissant and behaved like a dudebro. What a fucking awful character.

Vanille wasn't too bad, but Snow and Hope were just utter shit.

Although I think John Marston is a better character in many regards, Bayonetta might be the best character of the year. She is very awesome.
 
Jack from Mass Effect 2

I hated her character and design. Such an emo angst character wasn't needed in the mass effect universe unless they were some antagonist. Jack's rescue mission was awesome but the character herself was worst than Jack's tattoo episode in LOST.

Whomever thought Jack was a great fit in the mass effect universe probably just discovered rave music and named Richmond (side joke from IT Crowd).
