Gotta say Wei fucking Shen. Really like him, and Jackie Ma. Actually a lot of characters in Sleeping Dogs. But yeah mainly Wei Shen.
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.
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?
There's that one moment in the game when Walker is manning the helicopter gatling gun and he unleashes this insane scream of rage and fury that's both hilarious and horriflying. North did a hell of a job and I was completely inraptured.

This all cannot be said enough.. every scene/line with her was awkward as hell.Wait, people are really saying Cortana? I never really cared for her character, but she was especially bad in Halo 4. She felt like a hyper-fanficized version of her character.
Body of a porn star (who incidentally always looks naked, but isn't technically naked because they don't detail nipples or vag), but the face and personality of a cute and innocent teenager? Come on. Plus all the pseudo-romantic stuff between her and Chief was so awkward, and also took up like 90% of their interactions throughout the game. "Hey, Chief. Take a girl for a ride?" Someone actually watched that and felt anything other than embarrassment?

Facial animations were amazing, sure, but didn't matter much with such awful story and writing. And this is coming from someone who actually did enjoy the story in the first three Halo games for what they were.
Yo!! Wassup? Siggggyyyyyyyyyy!! Phidooooooooo!!
Actually this is true. Noel was amazing, the character that ff 12 and 13 needed.Noel from Final Fantasy XIII-2. First protagonist in a while from a FF game...at least since X that I didn't feel apathetic too!
The persistent sad brow ruins it a bit. It's possible to convey emotion through facial expressions other than:
Halo 4 Cortana for me. Character is over 10 years old but this is probably the first time in the whole series I cared about her and what's happening with her. Jen Taylor(voice actress) fucking knocked it out of the park as usual. Helps that 343 took extreme focus on the facial animations and graphics as well. Just a joy to experience.
Haytham Kenway. The elegant badass character in the mold of balthier, Kenway rocks. He's well written (until the end of the game), well acted, funny, smart, charming, and beguiling. He's way better than Connor, who is trash.

Haven't finished the game yet (Hotline Miami) but he's a badass.
Most definitely.
