Probably Zero from the Megaman X and Megaman Zero series.

Mr.Saturn from Earthbound

Victor resnovhe will have his revenge

Percy the persimmon from Princess Tomato and the Salad Kingdom. He is also my least favorite.

The master chief for sure.

.

My favorite is Kratos from God of War

I wrote an artticle about him on my website.

My favorite videogame character is Kernnal Sanders

Might be a generic answer but Handsome Jack from the Borderlands series. While doing some screwed up things, he never was just a staight forward "bad guy,"there was reason behind his actions, actual legitimate reasons, not the best choices but plausable ones. He can be threatening, he can be funny, even a few moments of being a bit scary. The games build on this and it works very well, he had layers, he has goals, while good on paper "Kill the bandits," his methods were extreme, but to some, you could argue that he's not wrong.

Cerebella from Skullgirls,

Maxwell from the Scribblenauts series, and alien hominid

I liked Krieg from Borderlands 2 wish there was more.And the main guy from Deadly Premonition.

• I love pretty much every single one of the characters from the Half-Life series... but I'd say Judith Mossman is criminally unappreciated.

• The Postal Dude from, you guessed it, the Postal series.

• Barry Burton from Resident Evil. He's a DILF.

Bub and Bob, the little dragons from Bubble Bobble.

And Jill Valentine from RE.

I'm gonna so regret posting this by tomorrow jfc but my god how could I possibly forget.

• Bill Overbeck & Francis from the Left 4 Dead series.

Both of them are unnecessarily mad thick tho 🥵

Generic answer, but Gordon Freeman is pretty cool.

Is mario too mainstream for this thread?

I think on the first place is Master Chief and on the second place Mae Borowski

I love Sans and Papyrus from Undertale

Ray the flying Squirrel from Sonic Mania...I love his aesthetic and how he plays in that game

I also love Luigi because my favorite color is green

I would also be inclined to say link and samus, but they aren't really characters

Based on character alone, Wario is definitely at the top of my list.

You're asking for quite a lot from me lol.

Alisa Bosconivich from Tekken.

Mileena and Li Mei from Mortal Kombat.

Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal: Small Brawl.

Dollface from Twisted Metal: Black.

Edward Richtofen and Samantha Maxis from the Call of Duty Franchise.

Trevor from GTA V as well.

I bet I have more, I just can't remember them atm lol

Definitely my boy Tails. Best sidekick period.

Master Chief and Sam Fisher are my next favorites.

Parrapa the rapper

Probably that would be OSS agent Karl Fairburne from the Sniper Elite series. Quiet and seemingly without any ego but fatally efficient with his ability to kill at a distance. Which is the kind of character I would aspire to be.

One who doesn't talk too much or show off. Has little to no feelings or doesn't show them too much.

Gets the job done but doesn't brag about it and completely indifferent to any kind of glory or attention.

The 2nd runner up would be the main character from the Hitman series. He would actually be my favorite character but I hated the series of games featuring him.

Duke Nukem, I love that guy. His self confident, self obsessed attitude is great, and I think its funny where other characters who are the "save the world type" like doomguy, or gordon freeman, or the gears of wars guys shoulder the responsibility of dealing with invasion forces singlehandedly out of a sense of obligation or service, Duke does it for self glorification. He wants to be the hero and have everyone worship him. He saves the world multiple times simply so he can continue his life of debauchery. He does whatever he wants almost completely carefree. Plus his games are really fun, but I am a big fan of Duke.

Its a shame now that 3drealms is doing the whole 'old games are now new!' thing that they don't own his IP anymore. I wish I had the money to purchase Duke from gearbox and return him to his rightful place. I'd love to have a proper Duke Nukem 4 made in the build engine.

Conker from Conker's Bad Fur Day

Favorite of all time has to be Master Chief as cliche as it is. Just remember how cool he was when I was a kid playing Halo 1 & 2 and what Bungie did with the Halo 3 ads still give me goosebumps to this day, making him this go-to Space Marine Badass.

Close second would be Yoshi just because he's who I always picked in any Nintendo game growing up.

From the many games I have been through, I have come to the conclusion that it's Naede from Danganronpa v3, she had so much potential to be the main character and she was interesting with the time she had left until she was wrongly executed. I, and many people were probably shocked to see her go, it was like peter parker's death from spider-verse all over again, the person that we THOUGHT was the protagonist dies and is replaced by a technically worse version of that protagonist. I found it upsetting and funny that the developers actually tried to hide the fact that she wasn't the main protagonist and even put the female protagonist tag and everything.

Gordon Freeman
