This one might need a little more thinking. Of all the games you've played, which character is your favorite one and why?
Although you can see that my Avatar is Jackie Estacado (making him one of my favorites), my favorite character of all time is Dante (Devil May Cry series). He's that combination of brutal, carismatic anti-hero, he's a character I liked from the very beginning and just sticked fond of as the series progressed.
So post your favorite all time character in this thread! Cheers.
Fuck, you've brought up Dante. The horde of elitists will be appearing at your door soon.
My favourite is probably... Big Boss. His story in MGS3 is absolutely fantastic and his character is completely fleshed out over the next two sequels. Amazing character.
Dante was my favorite for quite some time. Then I came across Ms. Noel Vermillion when I picked up BlazBlue. Safe to say I haven't been the same since encountering her. I just love everything about her.
Garrett. He is my avatar, after all! His lone ranger, somewhat dare devil/badass type character comes through perfectly in Stephen Russell's awesome voice acting. His voice overs during the mission briefings in Thief were always a treat.
The Boss - MGS3 - Her sacrifices made in her life up until the end are some of the greatest ever. Big Boss and Snake got nothing on her Dan Smith - Killer 7 - The Hellion. Mask is almost as cool, but not quite. Gene - God Hand - He's so silly.
@Laketown: Yeah. No. Like everything about that game, I found most of the party members in KotOR 2 to be incredibly lame. Sure, I was a fan of the psychotic wookee and the droid crime lord, but everyone else was kind of just... dull and occasionally precocious. I think it was HK's impressions of Carth and Bastila that made that aspect of the game worthwhile. Admittedly, the first game has Mission, who is one of the worst Bioware characters in existence. But I digress. To each his own.
If I'm wearing my Portal T-Shirt and somebody asks me to describe it, I tell them it's a game and always describe it as a "black comedy puzzle game". Without that character, it's just a tech demo, but with 'her', it becomes a new spin on the 'man's relationship with machine' fiction as preceded by 'I Robot' and '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
" I just saw the "new" Dante...I need to sit down... They totally ruined it for me. "
It's ok, just breathe... Avoid making any "I HATE NEW DANTE" threads within the next couple of weeks.
Just remember we've yet to see anything from the new game in terms of design. Ninja Theory is excellent when it comes to cut-scenes and animations, so that should still be awesome. Besides, Capcom are the ones who pushed Ninja Theory to "re-imagine" Dante.
Only thing you need to worry about is their ability to make fluid combat mechanics. Maybe its a story of how Dante transitions to his white-haired look.
