Game Characters to Party with in 2012

#1 Posted by Mezmero (1194 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

I'd like to see the return of the coveted award for "Character We Most Want To Party With" for the Game of the Year stuff. I can think of a few nominees but I'm limited to the games I've played this year. I'd like to know if there is anyone else who should make this list. In no particular order:

Javik (Mass Effect 3) - If you could even manage to get a Prothean drunk or high, imagine the crazy stuff he'd say.

Augus (Asura's Wrath) - The dude is indulgence incarnate. He always knows where the party's at.

Gomez (Fez) - In my experience all drummers know how to party hard.

Fidget (Dust: An Elysian Tale) - Oddly enough the most reliable character to have your back in a fight. Also she got jokes.

Big Bo (Binary Domain) - Who knows? Big Bo knows. Probably the best wing man on this list.

Vaas (Far Cry 3) - I think I'd rather take my chances getting murdered by him than hang out with the scum bag main characters.

All Heavies No Medkits (XCOM: Enemy Unknown) - They can hold their liquor and could probably score some alien drugs from HQ.

Ryan Davis (WWE '13): Oh! Collusion!

Gomez also has the BEST SMILE IN VIDEO GAMES.

CUBE GET!

We're also missing parties with Lee Everett, Cool Professor, and Juliet Starling for character you want to party with. You know, because she speaks Japanese.

Dumb joke aside, pretty sure it's between Augus and Gomez, with Augus only having a chance at losing because he'll demand to stab you halfway through the party.

I think Big Bo wins even from what little I've seen of him.

I'd like to mention Handsome Jack from Borderlands 2. That motherfucker is messed up but he's got a lot of money and is no stranger to the ladies.

@Little_Socrates: I actually thought about including Lee while making the post. I think that dude would just be on the floor immediately. He can barely keep his balance while he's sober. You'd be dragging his body all night long, then you get him back to his house and he turns into a zombie a bites you.

@Neurotic: Handsome Jack seems like a good addition to the category from what I've heard of him. I still need to get around to Borderlands 2 but right now I want a game that doesn't suck my time away.

I wanted to add someone from Sleeping Dogs but I don't see how. Wei's a snitch, Jackie's too irresponsible, all the Red Poles are shady and malicious. I wouldn't mind kicking it with Old Salty Crab but I doubt he has the constitution to truly party.

I'm gonna add Pascal to this list. I bet that girl can party.

I bet Jacket (protagonist of Hotline Miami) could get you into some killer parties.

#11 Posted by leafhouse (100 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

Jackie from The Darkness II because it would be fucked up

Oh dear God I hated Fidget with a passion

he can get you the coke, at any rate

Here's my suggestion:

Fuck all those people and just party at the Forza Horizon festival.

#14 Posted by NoobSauceG7 (1016 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

Big Bo for sure. Vaas from Far cry 3 seems like the party animal. Omid from The Walking Dead cause he is just fucking awesome!

#15 Posted by RenMcKormack (1028 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

Old Salty Crab. Guy knows how to get down. Plus he knows a shit ton about ghosts.

#16 Posted by Colourful_Hippie (2632 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

I just can't decide between the two!

#17 Posted by slowbird (1269 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

Claptrap.

#18 Posted by RecSpec (3063 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

Glad Augus was mentioned, that goddamn hot spring section of the game. 
 
I'd add Bob Darden from Spec Ops (The radio guy), dude's able to keep things light despite a whole city being torn apart from the inside.

At this point, I feel like I'd party like Max Payne. I'd stand at the edge of the party, drinking, and contemplating what I'm even doing there and how shitty my life has become. Yeah, you and me, Max. Bottoms up. OH SHIT THEY'VE GOT GUNS!

#20 Posted by Mento (1628 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

Risen 2's Nameless Hero (health potions are entire bottles of rum in that game), Darksiders II's Karn, Borderlands 2's Salvador, Sleeping Dogs' Not Ping, Cordelia Starling, Big Bo, Augus and Syrenne.

Also Garrus and Wrex, if they still count.

Big-Boss MGS Tells the BEST Stories.

Auron FFX Hes already got a jug of spirits, you know hes down to party.

Niko GTA4 He'll fix us the car, the helicopter, the tank and the 5 star wanted level to make the night interesting.

Jack ME2 We all need the crazy chick to lighten the mood or darken it, besides we all know shes got the drugs.

Elena Fisher Uncharted The hot chick with one-liners, whois possibly the only woman with enough charisma not to bore me to death on a new years night.

John Marston RDR If we need someone to get more alcohol, you better believe he'll deliver.

Peter Venkman GB-VG He'll be the life of the party and likely hooks up with Elena Fisher.

Artyom M2033 Auron might be a tough guy that has fought some ugly lost souls but he didn't do it tunnels in pitch dark with a handmade gun, shit goes down I want artyom by my side.

Kenny from The Walking Dead, if only for the inevitable barfights he'll get himself into.

Ben all the way.

Ben seems like he would get pressured into taking some uppers and downers at a party and then sit in the corner crying and apologising to everyone. I love the kid but he would decidedly not be a fun-loving party dude in my opinion.

#27 Posted by Breadfan (6056 posts) - 5 months, 20 days ago
@LackingSaint He's wearing a football jacket. He's so into partying, it's unreal. Plus I bet he'd be a pretty good beer pong partner. Up until he screws up and has a nervous breakdown and somehow burns the house down.
#28 Posted by Morrow (1793 posts) - 5 months, 20 days ago

I'd party with Captain Walker - first I'd get him a little drunk and then I'd help him forget all the horrible things he's seen... hurr hurr (^v^)

Puttin' it down for Big BOOOOOOOOO'

#31 Posted by Shortbreadtom (253 posts) - 5 months, 20 days ago

A-what up Big BOOOO

#32 Posted by Mezmero (1194 posts) - 5 months, 20 days ago

I don't think Mass Effect 2 characters should qualify for this category. I picked out Javik because he was one of the few new characters in ME3 and I'd like to see him cut loose. Max Payne is in the same boat though there are better reasons not to party with him.

Old Salty Crab's idea of a good time is probably just to get drunk in a smokey mahjong den. Still he seems like a guy I'd get along with which is why I brought him up in the first place. He also might not be able to hold his liquor like he use to.

I'm not sure if having any of the Spec-Ops: The Line guys is a good idea. They seem real dangerous to have around when they get crazy but then again I included Vaas in my list so why not. I know plenty of soldiers who are party animals.

Cain from Binary Domain might be good to have as a designated driver but I imagine he might be a bit of a prude at parties. Unless he can dispense alcohol from his body I'd pass on inviting him.

I can see both Ben and Kenny from The Walking Dead getting pretty wild. If I had to pick one I'd have to go with Kenny since he can hold his own in a fight.

@MikeJFlick: By the light of the sun man we're talking 2012 characters! Get with the program.

These fellows seem particularly capable of having a 'Good Time'.
