The reason I will never play GTA V:
Amazing character, you're suppose to hate him. That's what makes it so great, he's written so well but at the same time such a horrible character.

I loved Sonic unleashed, except for some of the werehog stages, but this guy.....
WHY DOES HE KEEP ASKING THAT?!?

A lot of the characters in Tales of the Abyss.
A main character that does nothing but complain.
A moogle wannabe that is so annoying it made me enjoy the main character complaining about him.
A stereotypical anime dude who freaks out when encountering women.
A stereotypical anime girl who is clearly underage and wants to bone the main character
About as bad of a cast as you can imagine an RPG having.

Fucking Hope from Final Fantasy XIII!
He was literally the sole reason for me refusing to finish playing the game (and I nearly completed it). I enjoyed the game overall, perhaps it suffered in the same fashion as many JRPGs with too much grinding, but the story was captivating enough to continue. The one glaring flaw in its story however is the characterization of Hope. He's fucking useless, emotionally damaged, and an active detriment to the team. I hate him.

This, so much this! I entered this thread with all of the FFXIII cast in mind but that fucking guy made me just up and quit at the scene where he shat in the oil barrel in the middle of the road. I considered myself a big MGS fan before this and was so happy I'd found a CE of the game. Never going back. Fuck you, Kojima.

I'm probably going to get some flak for this, but...
Far Cry 3. Pretty much every character except for Vaas was super, incredibly, horrifically annoying. Especially Jason.
In fact, a lot of things about the game itself were annoying. The droning sound in the menus (had to mod it out because I was physically getting a headache from it), the sickening camera movements during cutscenes (everyone kept having their face right up against Jason's and the camera just never stopped moving and gave me motion sickness... seriously, not even Mirror's Edge gives me motion sickness, but this game was really bad), The horrible UI (absolute waste of screen real estate for many of the elements, and it was clearly designed for a controller even though I was playing with KB/M)... There was just a lot about the game that bothered me, more than just the characters.
I actually stopped playing it for several months, but I eventually forced myself to finish it because my friends kept giving me a hard time about it. Even after finishing it, I didn't really care for the story and felt like I wasted my time. Far Cry 2 was far more enjoyable. Never played Far Cry 1 and I have no plans to play Far Cry 4 (even if I eventually stop boycotting Ubisoft).

It's Tidus. To this day, I never beat X because he was such a horrible protagonist. I think there are probably worse, but I just couldn't get over how little agency this character had. He was the trifecta of problematic protagonists: No agency, unfitting attitude, and introspective narration.
"This is my story" - It's not! It's not his story at all!
"This is my story" - It's not! It's not his story at all!
Yeah tidus is pretty bad and that outfit is terrie. He looks and sounds like 12 year old and has a super annoying voice.

Happy to see mentions of FFX, bayo and bulletstorm, what were they thinking...
Yeah as soon as he opened his mouth it was absolutely terrible, I only played a couple hours to try out the game and jesus I hope he's not there during the whole game.
Someday I might finish the game.

Oerba Dia Vanille from Final Fantasy 13.
Why does she speak like she's missing half of her tongue?! Why??!!!
And she's the fucking narrator. Jesus.

Delsin Rowe from Infamous: SS. Haven't quite given up on the game yet, but every time he says something I want to shove my fist in his mouth.

I find all the people saying Claptrap to be kind of funny. Yeah, he sucks everyone hates him, that's the joke. You were never SUPPOSED to like Claptrap, he's written to be annoying and intolerable and he's JUST pathetic enough to kind of pity him, but not at all feel sorry for him. Hell, no one likes him in-universe either. That's why his name is Claptrap.
As far as Borderlands goes, though, I never liked the psychos. They tried way too hard to make them seem crazy that its less disturbing and more "lel random". I'll say that whoever did their voice acting did a great job though. And Krieg is awesome.

Heh,
whenever I saw him in the elevator, I would use slo-mo and throw several grenades before the door closed.

Once they announced Serah was the main character in Final Fantasy XIII-2 I knew immediately I wasnt buying it.
One of the worst characters in a game full of bad characters made the lead. Square is weird.

Came in expecting Vaan from FF12. Only to see posts containing Ellie.

The entire cast of Eternal Sonata, mostly Polka.
oh i forgot about this bitch
Claves was the best.
Her 20-minute death scene might have actually been one of the funniest things I've seen in a game.
Serah in XIII-2 was much more likeable than the entire cast of XIII. Kind of remarkable, really, but she and Noel make a really fun duo.

Jansen from Lost odyssey. He was the worst character in the game by a mile.
Lol sorry i could not resist

Tricky from star fox adventures
And i'm actually surprised it wasn't mentioned yet.

Star Ocean 4, everyone, I popped it in my 360, saw the intro video, shut down the console and gave it back the day after to my buddy.
This bitch was worse. I really liked the game, and then I get to this part of the game and my enjoyment plummets through the floor.

The cast of Bulletstorm made me stop playing BS. My brain is still in critical condition after that Shitstorm
This one for me. I cannot believe his dialogue was written by an adult. Regardless of who he's interacting with or the context of the situation, his only means of communication is vulgarity-spewing rage. Seriously one of the worst video game characters of all time. Shockingly bad.

Handsome Jack was so lame I stopped playing a little more than halfway through the game and never looked back.

Tales of Xillia
yo FUCK you
This guy pretty much exists to fill in the void caused by having a kid character that isn't annoying in Xillia.
His voice is painful to listen to, seriously.
Congratulations, you had more patience than I did. And you didn't get rewarded for it at all. You got actively punished for it.

Sora for me. My first and only KH game was KH2. I enjoyed the game as Roxas, but when Sora joined up i lost all interest. I'm just not a fan of the always do right character. Too boring.
For me good characters have distinct motivations that make them evaluate situations differently in a believable way. It's hard for me to believe the pure of heart cliche i guess.

Oh come on. Drippy is awesome. His Welsh accent was great to hear in a game.
Which Mass Effect character is more annoying...

Neither. They are too boring to be annoying.

Hahaha i enjoyed him in the game, because i kept thinking, he will die a horrible death and i will be very happy to watch it happen.
How could you leave the game without waiting for his inevitable demise?
P.S FEAR was too good a game for you to abandon because of Mapes....you suck!
Shes bad, but honestly.
Lymle is worse....much much worse, i dont know how you managed to stomach her better than Sarah.
