RAPOST: (Rotten Assed Piece Of Shit Tank) You know the one. it hides under trees, it flies around just out of range of your weapons, it’s up in that hellish crevice that you couldn’t fit a pair of pencils into, and it waits for you. when you arrive, it throws out that one measly bullet that kills you. No. Not the main enemy with the house-killer cannon. Not a problem. not the swarm. You can handle them with your back turned. it’s that dirty POS single enemy who throws the magic bullet that kills you. Asshole.
Castlevania skeletons: Do I need to explain that one? When you want pure, hair-pulling, controller-throwing, F-bomb dropping annoyance, accept no substitues.
Characters that cause those “Baby-sitting” missions in games like Dynasty warriors: For those of you who may be unfamiliar with these characters, they are the ones where you end up having to bodyguard them for that stage. Failure to do so means game over. Why do I hate them? Those damnable characters can (And they WILL, I assure you) find each and every trap, ambush, and other situation guaranteed to get them and you killed. The best way to stop them is to spring the trap ahead of them and kill everything in sight.
that one annoying sucker-punching character you always see in beat-em-ups. two-p and j from the first final fight come to mind right off the bat. damn little rodents.
Is it THAT bad? I never did play the DMC series. Too poor back then and now I can only find DMC4 which apparently has the infamous distinction of “It which must not be named”. Still, I’ll at least cop the demo no matter what is said.
I used to call that thing the dreaded deathbird. Of course, the infamous panther/eagle combo on stage 4 or 5 was the ultimate. Controllers did fly and the curses did flow because of them. Yeah, they are most CERTIANLY on the list.
If we are strictly talking character designs I would have to say virtually everything Square has done since it merged with Enix, possibly even before has been absolutely terrible.
Japan has created this bizarre world of loli’s and metrosexual’s that try to be larger then life and completely irradicate any semblance any sense of genuinely good fantasy and Sci-fi. Anime itself has become entirely laughable and has mutated these genres and IMO has virtually no worth as an artistic medium since the days of Speed Racer and Astro Boy. Don’t get me wrong that anime and very particular anime has it’s merits, but like most things it’s plagued with terrible writing and poor pacing.
Most video game characters I grew up with I hold fond nostalgia for even if they are terrible. Most SF characters are bad archetypes but are endearing. Despite a few bad loli’s, Sports team etc. in KOF, I think the whole series has some pretty cool characters that are great without being over the top. Subtlety is key.
IMO the best would have to be Big Boss/Solid Snake…
There are too many to name in terms of being the worst. This opinion is completely void of gameplay I’m speaking generally when it comes to character designs.
Alright, I told myself that at some point someone other than my girlfriend has to hear this little rant.
But who I really hate is Sephiroth. I mean, he was bad ass in FF7, but now you can’t go to any video game forum without some fucking douchebag with the picture of Seph standing with the fire all around him.
And Squeenix gave us back story on him because the fantards requested it. Seph had that mysterious vibe to him, you didn’t know but more importantly you didn’t need to know to enjoy him. Ugh, leave it to idiots to ruin a good character.
I found Dante’s shtick endearing by the the first 2 hours of gameplay. Some of those were pretty funny too.
DMC 2 was ok, just…weird. Agreed on 4, I spent a lot of hours maxing out Dante and just fucking bitches up in Bloody Palace. I’d venture to say DMC 4 Dante was the funnest version of him. I didn’t find Nero annoying as a character, just that his arm made shit sooo repetitive. I lost the will to improvise on the fly with him cuz I knew if I hit a dude long enough it’ll trigger some Devil arm animation that takes half of their life.
I hate any character in an RPG who is a fucking bard or some shit. Seriously, I can choose from people who have huge ass swords, are clad in crazy armor, and can summon meteors from the sky or dragons from outer space, and then you make me use a pussy with a lute
And every video game character named Edward just plain sucks (Ed, or Eddy are fine, Edwards are fucktards)
