He’s killed the most dudes, grown the most moustaches; he’s the manliest man of gaming. Who is he?

#3 Posted by AhmadMetallic (18957 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Geralt hands down.

#4 Posted by TaliciaDragonsong (8670 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Geralt of fucking Rivia.

#5 Posted by MEATBALL (1957 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

#6 Posted by falserelic (2564 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Duke but not duke 4 ever.

#7 Edited by CaLe (2493 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

You have Soap and not Captain Price? Broken poll. John Marston it is then.

#8 Posted by 1nfinitum (199 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

@CaLe: You're right, I knew there was somebody I would forget. My apologies.

#9 Posted by Sjupp (1882 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Captain Price. Your poll sucks.

#10 Posted by adam1808 (1030 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

BIG BO

#11 Edited by MEATBALL (1957 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Poll also needs more Nathan "Rad" Spencer.

#12 Posted by WinterSnowblind (7360 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Geralt.

Dovahkiin and Shepard don't count, they're both women.

#13 Edited by mwng (782 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

You forgot the manliest man of all men, he even has his own theme.

#14 Posted by 1nfinitum (199 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

@WinterSnowblind: They're advertised as men, I think that's fair enough.

#15 Posted by adam1808 (1030 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

@mwng: Feathered hair is an automatic dis-qualifier.

Crap! Geralt gets my vote then.

#18 Posted by Aronman789 (2610 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Geralt, he kills monsters, arm wrestles, plays poker, gets drunk, gets a tattoo and bones down on some ladies multiple times in one game.

#19 Posted by Yummylee (18150 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Snake, though more specifically Naked Snake from MGS3.

#20 Posted by GunslingerPanda (4054 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Tychus is hella manly. Chris Redfield in second place.

#21 Posted by Ramone (2432 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

I put Snake but I really should have put Big Bo.

#22 Posted by Ninja_Welshman (392 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

kazuma kiryu from Yakuza 3 would have been my vote. The dude just wrecks people in totally awesome ways!!

#23 Posted by Saethir (319 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Dudley from Street Fighter is a pretty manly dude. Given the options, however, I think Geralt and Ezio are both equally qualified as most manly. Geralt it is.

#24 Posted by Icemael (6099 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Marco from Metal Slug. No bio-engineered super-body, no regenerating health, dies if shot with a single regular bullet, yet he defeats entire armies, blows up war machines the size of houses and fends off alien invasions, almost entirely without help.

Tank convoy? Give him a shotgun and he makes short work of it. Dozens of enemy submarines are attacking? He scuba dives and starts shooting them with his handgun. Zombies infect him? He keeps fighting, using his new zombie powers to puke lethal blood.

I think I've made my case.

Yeah. I voted for the Dukester. However, as a (mostly) serious character, its Geralt of Rivia. You simply don't fuck with that dude (unless you are female, in which case you most certainly do).

#26 Posted by Wacomole (739 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

A Giant Bomb poll about manliness without Mike Haggar ?

For Shame!

Go and sit in the corner and think about what you did!

#28 Posted by ThePaleKing (583 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Where is Gene.

I voted for Doomguy because he can reduce the spawn of hell itself to ground beef, with his bare fists, and that's the closest you can get to having the God Hand.

#29 Posted by L44 (491 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Sam Serious Stone. Fought a dude as tall as a Pyramid while holding a cannon.

#30 Posted by Brodehouse (7119 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Shadow Kanji.

#31 Posted by NoobSauceG7 (1013 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Kanji Tatsumi...

#32 Posted by GunstarRed (4021 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Zangief.

#33 Posted by Xymox (1737 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Oh god testosterone overload. Meanwhile, Ryotaro Dojima is raising his little girl as a single father. He's my pick.

Also, Minsc, because duh.

#35 Posted by TobbRobb (3302 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Big Boss , Kazuma Kiryu ,Minsc or Sam "Serious" Stone.

I voted for Snake. Chris "I punch rocks" Redfield was also up there.

#36 Posted by Fire_Of_The_Wind (150 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Mike Haggar, but out of that list I chose John Marston.

#37 Posted by billyhoush (1042 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Kazuma Kiryu by far. The dude punches tigers in the face.

#38 Posted by TheSlothKing (322 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

It's sad that BIG BO is losing.

I know! How come a moderator hasn't responded to this with Mike Haggar and immediately closed the thread down?

#40 Posted by Brunchies (2484 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Geralt, he has boned and stabbed his way through video games and into our hearts.

#41 Posted by Daiphyer (1202 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Geralt of Rivia, motherfuckers. That guy bones every lady he sees. Now that's manly!

#42 Posted by beard_of_zeus (1323 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

I voted for Nathan Drake, but I was really voting by proxy for Nolan North. *swoooooooooooooon*

#43 Posted by charlie_victor_bravo (641 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Geralt of Rivia. It takes balls to fight monsters while wearing leather pants.

#44 Posted by ahgunsillyo (398 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

#45 Posted by doosmacleod (155 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

RIP.

AND.

TEAR.

#46 Posted by TheDudeOfGaming (5878 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Manliest man? Come on guys, it's Duke Nukem.

#47 Posted by Joeyoe31 (660 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

The fact that Kanji Tatsumi isn't on that list is a little sad. Solid Snake either way.

#48 Posted by BaneFireLord (2268 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Mufuggin' Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Dude's name alone is more awesome than half the guys on this list.
John Marston and my one-eyed bald lycanthrope Nord Dovahkiin tie for second place.
My Shepard would have been first if he hadn't decided to start having nightmares about dead little boys all of the sudden.

#49 Posted by LikeaSsur (1130 posts) - 9 months, 8 days ago

Asura from Asura's Wrath? He's clearly Father of the Year, and nothing is manlier than being a good father.
