Top 5 Most Unlikable Characters

A sad fact about life is that not everyone gets along, and occasionally a person will simply rub you the wrong way. Well, the same thing happens in video games. Certain characters just annoy us to no end.

I'd have to say Lang from Conflict: Denied Ops comes in at first. He beats out his partner Graves by a straw. (Such awful characters from an equally awful game.)

There's Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. (She can't keep up with Sonic in coop mode...)

There's Quina from FF9. (Annoyingly stupid)

There's Raiden from MGS2. (He had to be androgynous and not so slick like Solid.)

And there's Desmond Miles from Assassin's Creed. (A bartender with a squeaky voice for our protagonist?)

This list could go on.

I remember never leveling Quina because he/she was a dumb **** and then the team splits and I have to fight a boss with him. Boy was I f'cked. But in retrospective, he had some borderline funny lines.

[Shadow Flare]

lol Tails is a guy Bandito. Raiden more then made up for it in MGS4 though

[e-ray]

No spoilers for MGS4 god damnit!

[el_bandito]

edit: Miles "Tails" Prower is a boy. I stand corrected.

[TruthbeTold]

I can think of some more unlikeable characters, but this was pretty entertaining. Kudos on the Duck Hunt Dog. Who has ever played that game who hasn't intentionally spent a round or two on that annoying, laughing dog? :)

By the way el bandito, Tails was a boy. His name is Miles.

[el_bandito]

Thanks for correcting me. Yup Miles Prower is a he. Sorry guys.

[ThatArtGuy]

You can blast the dog to Hades in the bonus round.

Funny how the article is from MSNBC and 4 out of 5 of them are from games on Nintendo consoles (Ocarina Of Time, Starfox, Resident Evil 4 - first on NGC - and Duck Hunt)...

That being said:
HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY

Navi = Worst support character ever

[TruthbeTold]

It's true that Navi was annoying, but the truth for me at least was that I've played that game from start to finish at least 10 times. Somehow, I don't think that it was anywhere near as annoying the first time through the game, when I didn't know everything and it was actually helpful now and then. Of course on your third time or so through the game you wish it would just shut the hell up, but without it, that first time through might not have hooked us. Know what I mean?

[Alexander Roy]

True man. I remember locking-on on every thing and hitting C-Up like a madman to find out about the weakspots of the enemies or to get a hint. The only problem is that Nintendo didn't implement a memory-like thingy for her, so that she remembers if I already asked her about something. With that, she wouldn't have been as annoying. Still, OoT is a masterpiece and although Navi gets annoying after several hours, it will be remembered for a very long time - I mean come on, it's about 10 years old and still the game with the highest metascore of all time. I want to encourage everyone who hasn't played it to do it now, it's great even with all the HEY HEY HEY.

[KLEPTOMANIAC]

i died a little inside everytime she kept saying HEY.. or LISTEN!! even when you've listened to what she had to say, she would still have to say it again and again.

[Condoleezza Rice]

For some reason when I read that I thought of the following pic;

[wAtdaFck]

lol, bubbles for that

[badz149]

lol at that too! btw, I suggest you can change your name to condoleeza snake!

[Big Jim]

Tidus.

[kwicksandz]

Tidus ughhh

Daddy issues - check
Absurd outfit - check
Questionable gender - check
Annoying dialouge - check

Tidus ticks all the unlikeable boxes

[sumfood4u]

Duck Hunt Dog pisses me off to no End!

[TheDeadMetalhead]

They're disgusting. One guy is hopping around like a monkey, another is trying to pee on you, and another is eating his own S***. Think I'm kidding? They're in the very first level. Ugh, I HATE those guys! The game was okay, though

[freakyzeeky]

Waluigi... eww.

[n to the b]

u had to go fast, or they'd bust you. not too fast tho, u don't want to completely lose them before hitting 5 more roadblocks! the cop-evasion challenges were tough, not in a good way...

[vgn24]

But I love when main-stream media tries to chime in with top-5,10, or 20 lists of videogaming. Stick to politics. Although I do like games getting more exposure. Double-edge sword?

[Blue Legend]

I've been annoyed by him since the SNES version.. he always was getting chased, and i'd have to save him

Sometimes, I'd get mad enough, that I'd start shooting at him, and I'm not alone, there's a stage on starfox assult.. the first one you're on foot, every once and a while, Krystal will shoot him down. (no joke)

[chrstphr567]

Look As far As NAVI is concerned. She never bothers me. And beside she helps me find out how to defeat my enemies. Except for that one time in Ocarna of Time when I faced Dark Link and NAVI was like "I have no idea what this guys weakness is." That was funny lol.

[Bnet343]

The Arbiter is the worst. His armor was so phucking ugly. He was like the Raiden of Halo 2.

[Baka-akaB]

My list would be :

Raiden

nanami from suikoden 2 (why ? because everytime you think you can get the team of your wish , she goes like "where are you going ? i'm coming with you right ?" and you get a yes/no quizz , with every answers leading to her taking a spot and coming anyway )

Quina ! i never played with her/it , despite a few useful skills like magic hammer , i just dislike the character and its use of talents . So yeah it was a blow for me too when i had to play her in a split group anyway . Yet to this date , i still play without leveling her , whenever i restart ff9 . My hatred is that deep

Seymour from FFX . I could say that a huge part of the FFX cast are up there in my dislike list , but Seymour takes the cake . He's some kind of transvestite version of previous main FF villains with pitiful goals and ambition . Worst of all , or blessing in disguise , he can't even secure the job of big final boss properly .

Another FF char ... Squall . Not at all my cup of tea . Unlike some people i never found him cool . His lone wolf act only got on my nerve as it even seemed as an excuse for the game to not stray from the silent protagonist (and their beloved "..." lines) template . And when he talked i hardly found him saying anything worthwhile . As a support character , a secondary and playable hero , i could bear him , but as the center of the story , it was plain torture .

[philatopus]

i don't know about you guys, but Wario pisses me off sometimes.

[level 360]

All those Nintendo characters if you actually look behind their facade are very unlikable - killing each other off by being cute?
