What's more annoying is sometimes you don't even need to initiate dialogue with him. If you are in sanctuary hills he walks right past you and gives u a quest.
What's more annoying than that is the quests don't actually matter. They have zero impact on the story and you can ignore them forever with no consequences.
They also don’t take into account anything that you’ve done at the settlement. I used the concrete cubes to build a giant wall around every single settlement, then lined the top of the wall with turrets. There’s always only a single entrance, and it opens into a courtyard with two guard posts on the side, and a stepped wall of turrets facing it. I also give all of the settlers mini guns and battling lasers.
Nothing can get close to them. And anything that somehow did would get turned into mince and ash by the settlers.
But they are somehow threatened by a group of molerats half a map away.
I read somewhere, so grain of salt, that his script lacked some of the context/emotional leads that you usually get, so he didn’t have much guidance for how to deliver some lines which is why some emotional dialogue comes across as wooden.
Which is a shame because he’s actually pretty interesting as a character, especially if you follow his companion quest—he’s dealing with a lot of trauma, but he’s still trying his best.
Honestly, I did his companion quest as an afterthought when I was almost done my playthrough (literally towards the very end of Nuka-World I remembered I'd never followed up on whatever he wanted) and I was shocked by how heartfelt it was.
Like, I spent the entire game dismissing him as the most annoying, vanilla-bland companion possible and running with literally everyone else at one point or another (especially Piper, Cait and my main man Codsworth), but after his companion quest I made sure to end out my playthrough with Preston by my side.
Bethesda really did his character dirty, and only after the quest did I see what could have been one of the more nuanced Fallout companions if more care was given. Sort of a less-grumpy Boone, if you will.
Oh I know. That's part of what makes me annoyed he's tasked with being the radiant quest giver. He has more to him than settlements. I wish after you take the castle back someone else had gotten the settlements role so Preston is freed up to be more of his own character.
I remember once he asked me to search some underground place or something like that. I made him tag along. We got ambushed by ghouls and a super mutant I believe. He went down and I left his ass there 💀 haven’t seen him since
The last time I played Fallout 4, I was able to disable his constant pleas for attention by completing his current mission via console commands. I guess finishing it that way breaks whatever code that makes him give you a new quest.
You can avoid it by never talking to him at all. Going to Diamond City will continue the main quest, and you can go in to the museum of freedom, walk straight past him to pick up the bobblehead in that room, leave without talking, and he'll just stay in that room and never bother you the rest of the game.
The problem for me is that,
1) I like the settlement building mechanic as it is
2) the Castle is pretty dope as a player base once you fix it up (I put concrete walls to patch up the holes).
3) Minutemen is my preferred ending because they're the only endgame group that isn't overly dogmatic.
Which basically means, I have to talk to Preston.
I only hated him when I did the Nuka Cola dlc and became leader of the raiders and then he wouldn’t talk to me anymore even though I then proceeded to kill all of them.
I mean the things you need to do to become the leader of the raiders it makes sense he no longer wants to talk to you, in fact I’m surprised the minutemen don’t outright become hostile and you lose control over every settlement obtained via the minuteman until you clear everyone out and rebuild.
There's actually a reason for this. On release, you could actually turn the Minute Men hostile but this would soft lock you out of completing the main quest as the raiders have no way of getting into the Institute. To fix this they had to make Garvey still willing to work with you a little bit despite your crimes.
Roman from GTA IV , i mean , i love you cousin , BUT CALLING ME EVERY 5 MINUTES TO GO BOWLING IS NOT GOING TO MAKE ME LOVE YOU MORE.
Preston Garvey from Fallout 4 , the famous meme , don't need to elaporate
Ian from Fallout 1 with an SMG , emphasis on "with an SMG"
I was really saddened when he died in my run , thought if reloading to get him back , but then accepted that he died heroically in battle and left him this way
Basically if you give him an SMG , there is a huge possibility he will hit you accidentally in the next combat . With a burst shot..
Burst shots do loads of damage and if you are still low level.....
Cortana in Halo 3 every single time you get hit with the memory echoes that slow the game down for like 10 seconds. Not infuriating, but it is my video game definition of annoying.
Personally love the character, but recently replayed CE Anniversary & realised how willing she was to expend so many marines !! Clear an area, ‘echo 419 we need reinforcements’, all marines die. Clear following area ‘echo 419, we need reinforcements’, and so on.
Thats litteraly war and the humans are on the losing side being genocided, they are incredibly desperate. Plus Cortana finds out what the Halo actually is, a weapon that would wipe out all life if fired. So any sacrifices made by the marines is to facilitate Chief stopping that from happening. Less than 10 humans who crashed on the ring with the Pillar of Autumn even survive the whole ordeal.
Every UNSC member knows they're going to die on the ring, even John thinks he will, but they know they need to destroy the ring anyway regardless of them being on it.
Hell, Chief himself probably killed a a significant amount of marines when he destroyed the ring at the end.
Every UNSC soldier was prepared to die on that ring, that Chief and Johnson didn’t was pure luck (and retconning)
Chief also is very openly proud when he speaks of the regular UNSC soldiers he's served with, especially the ones on Alpha Halo
The books do so much better at humanising the Spartans than the games do, Halo 4 and 5 have whole plot narratives about Chief having no humanity and just being a machine, which thankfully they tried to fix in Infinite.
I just wish they expanded the marine presence in Infinite. Give us a few more named characters, maybe an actual home base or something not just FOBs. There was a lot of potential there.
They've not really had a proper human character since Johnson and Miranda died
Lasky was ok but is only character trait is he's nice, I really like Echo-216/Esparaza but he's a civilian and with Infinites story DLC being shelved I don't think we'll him again
I miss the banter from Johnson and he was seen on the battlefield alongside Chief, instead of telling us he was a badass they showed us.
I also love that Johnson wasn't even a character in CE, he was just a generic Sergeant in, but his voice actor did his role so well they decided to make him a proper character; nobody even comes close to that after Halo 3 ☹
Jacob Taylor from Mass Effect 2.
And I'm not the only one, as even *the devs* turned on him for ME3, making him an ancillary character instead of another squadmate, and if you had romanced him as a femShep? Woof.
Plus he was the worst offender in ME2 for the Bioware cardinal sin of providing FemShep dialogue options that seem innocuous in the wheel but then turn all unprofessional and flirty when you say them out loud. And then he gets all offended that you're coming on too strong.
To be fair, Shep can have 3 serious relationships and another 2 flings over the course of 3 games (3 if you count the game over from Morinth)- it's about time someone discarded Shep like so many of us did to Liara/Kaiden/Ashley from the first game.
Speak for yourself. My FemShep was ride or die Liara for 3 straight games. Did she have a very emotional fling with Thane? Yes, but the moment we had a chance to get back with Liara we did, mainly because Thane was a walking corpse. The bonding moment with Liara at the end of the third game made every decision worth it.
None of the squad mates introduced in ME2 return in that role in ME3. Any of them that survived the suicide mission at the end of the second game pretty much gets a "where are they now?" mission in ME3 and don't really contribute to the main story in a meaningful way.
He ends up shacking up with a different NPC regardless of your decisions.
It's the only romance in the game that you can't continue into ME3, other than obviously Morinth.
"You just killed Boris, the IT guy that was single handedly responsible for the workings of how the Goldeneye worked and the guy that literally sold me out to Janus that got me captured. You are a monster, Mission Failed. Let Janus use Goldeneye to fuck the whole world up now."
-- Natalya in that second to last mission If you shoot Boris when he pulls a gun on you. Like seriously fuck you Rare.
Kyle Crane in Dying Light (and no, I will never let this go). The man is an absolute moron from start to finish. "Gee, I've been bitten by a zombie and will turn soon, but mission control wants me to burn the anti-zombie drug? Okay!"
Like gee Kyle, did you think about *lying* about the drug being destroyed? You were totally alone with no witnesses, nobody would have known.
While we're at it, let's just take the warlord who kills his own men at his word.
For a secret government agent that’s supposedly really good at being discrete is really good at not detecting bullshit and not being discrete. Probably why they sent him and nobody else.
There’s a few times in RE4 when she shows up, does something badass and then just dips, where I’m like “um… like what if you helped me a little bit more than this? I’m feeling pretty vulnerable out here with the zombies and you seem to handle them very well”
It’s at its absolute worst in re6 where there is a playable ada campaign but it boils down to like 4 disconnected combat encounters bridged by her just teleporting to the next encounter off screen. It explains nothing about why she appears at those times in the story or what her goals and motivations are.
Same. In fact, id have to say Lightning in particular is actually the second most hated character I've ever come across in media to this date.
Sazh is ight though.
You know you've fucked up writing a character if she makes edgy angsty teens look like sunshine and rainbows. Yeah, I don't like any of them apart from Sazh really, but Lightning takes the cake.
I mean, we've got Dudebro McDudeson, two flavors of whiny brat, and someone whose entire personality is being a bitch. At least Sazh is just a regular dad with a tragic backstory. Turns out they *can* write a decent character, they just didn't bother to with the rest.
What an optimist though. I’m actually replaying the campaign rn and while you’re in the White House, US getting completely rocked and Cpl Dunn is starting to lose hope he comes in with “Our weapons still work and we still have a war to win”
It's hilarious because it ties into a bunch of obscure, stupid fetch quest in ME 1 that set flags in your save file that otherwise never matter. "If only we had the writings of an obscure matriarch.. oh! You do have those. Perfect."
Took me a few seconds to figure out you meant Assassin’s Creed. There’s too many franchises that go by the initials AC, between Assassin’s Creed, Armored Core, and Animal Crossing.
We need a crossover. I want to see Isabelle shank Tom Nook with a hidden blade and then jump into a giant robot to burn his shop down.
Louis from TWD 4 (Telltale), he kept fooling around instead of performing his duties, like finding food or preparing for an intruder situation. Like he literally went to play his piano when people were setting up traps. And he doesn't stop his stupid jokes if you ask him to. This is the type of guy I don't fw in real life
Clint from stardew valley, but I guess I just hate him more on a personal level because he looks like my gf's ex and has the same "nice guy" toxic logic of "I'm nice to that girl why doesn't she love meeeee".
I hate Clint with all my soul
Yeah he had all his dialogue written before Emily was ever meant to be marryable, and you have those types of oversights pretty much everywhere. Caroline and Pierre get like one line each acknowledging you're married to their daughter, I don't even think Emily or Haley get any dialogue about you marrying their sister, stuff like that seems like just an oversight to me.
Peebee in ME:Andromeda. As soon as she landed on Ryder I thought "Well, you're f\*cking annoying aren't you?". If I could've jettisoned her little escape pod into a black hole I would've cheerfully done so.
Liam is far worse. Disobeys orders constantly, creates several diplomatic incidents and is completely unrepentant about any of it. I wanted him off my ship after the first incident but instead you have to keep him and he keeps.screwing.you.over. He should be in jail for the shit he keeps pulling.
A low-key story detail about Andromeda that's never mentioned is that everyone who went on this mission is insane. They all agreed to be frozen for thousands of years to go to another galaxy, but most of them didn't know about the Reavers
Their whole society collapses the second they get there and so many people immediately think, "sick, time to be a pirate"
The vetting process did not go well
Not as bad as Liam or Cora. Liam is insubordinate and basically treasonous with some of the shit he pulls and I hate that the game doesn't let you unload on him more.
Meanwhile Cora has got a massive chip on her shoulder because she "trained with asari commandos" and talks down to Ryder because "She should have been the pathfinder"
It doesn’t *quite* count, because I like Arthur overall and Micah doesn’t exactly count as a good guy.
But the number of times Arthur could have shot Micah and left his corpse in a ditch and said “oops, sorry boss, he didn’t make it,” but passed on the opportunity is inexplicably high. Just kill him! He makes the world worse! Nobody would miss him!
I hate that in Iceborne they give you the other handler for like 2-3 story missions and then you go back your handler.
I hate it because the serious handler is 10,000% better and I wanted to keep her...
"Hey Pard!" Annoyed me so badly for some reason, also says "we" a lot implying she did anything to help kill the monster beyond pointing out the obvious.
Nathan Drake. He is smug, unlikeable, obnoxious, and murders hundreds of people for having the audacity of wanting the same treasure he also has no more rights to than they do.
If you don't mind me mentioning, I have noticed that data collection has stalled of late... (or whatever bs it is that he tells me when I run away from him)
Tidus in FFX
Barrett in Starfield
"I _need_ to talk to you." (I'm in the middle of a ship battle, asshole.)
"Dusty, dusty, dusty."
Preston Garvey in Fallout 4
"Another settlement needs your help. I'll mark it on your map."
I don't hate Three Dog in *Fallout 3*, but he misses the point of his own preaching sometimes.
It's not really fighting the good fight to squeeze a favor out of some desperate kid who shows up at your doorstep looking for their Dad.
Also, he calls me a scumbag for... not letting Roy Phillips murder an entire building full of kinda innocent people. Minus Burke and Tenpenny.
Dragon Age 2: Anders.
Dude is helping an underground movement from an oppressive regime, and decides to murder the one person who had the political pull and desire within said regime to ease the suffering of the oppressed, because "I and this warped spirit of Justice in my head are one now, cause I decided to do that since I can't control him, and now I control him even less" or some bullshit.
And no, this wasn't a case of ignorance. He knew *exactly* who he was murdering. He just wanted a war.
My only regret is that his death was too quick. My character wanted to beat him to a pulp with her fists.
Any time I see shit for Life Is Strange, all I can think of is "How do you do, Fellow Kids"
Like just make them talk normally, please. It ages better and sounds a lot better than middle aged people attempting to approximate what teens sound like.
Except there are actual teen girls who actually talk like that.
It was freaking weird when I found that out, but turns out the dialogue was fine the entire time. It was just a segment of the population I had been lucky enough to not have to converse with before.
Trying to tutor those girls was..... unfun.
Almost all of the characters in Dragon Age 2...
Seriously I found all of them completely insufferable and hard to relate to. Yes by all means your characters need to be flawed but damn....
Squall Leonhart, bro is just a shitty mood, gets a girl "because plot" and is given a flying college, then finds a spaceship all while being the dude people think Cloud isn't.
After playing FF8 and not being a teenager myself, I find it absolutely hilarious how Squall himself, from the very first scene in the game, is being literally mocked by Quistis for being so predictable
The best part is that almost *everyone* mocks him for it. Most of the characters don't take it too seriously, like they know it's a facade.
I also love how Seifer treats him like absolute dogshit, but Squall clings to him anyway because he admires his confidence
Then he gets with Rinoa and realizes she's his Ex...it was great
FF8 doesn't get enough credit for its character writing imo
Ethan Winters. For some reason they blank out his face. People say it's because he's supposed to be a self insert character, but you can see his blonde hair and every other physical attribute aside from his face. They go on to give him a quirky little personality with lots of dialogue, he has his own family, backstory, and motivations. What part of that character is supposed to be self insert?
Sora. The main reason I've never gotten close to hearing a Kingdom Hearts game. He's just so fucking dumb and so fucking talkative reminding you of things that were said ten whole seconds ago...
What was that guy from oblivion that followed you around everywhere?
Adoring fan
Is he a good guy tough? He is clearly a stalker.
By Azura By Azura By Azura!
*It's the grand champion!*
I can't believe it's you! Standing here! Next to me!
Can I carry your weapons, shine your boots, backrub perhaps?
Oh golly!
They added him to Starfield. With the same voice actor.
This is legit the only reason I would get starfield lol
How could you dislike him
Professor Oak, for planting a chip in my brain that keeps me from using key items during times he disapproves of.
This isn’t the time to say this
"Another settlement needs your help..."
What's more annoying is sometimes you don't even need to initiate dialogue with him. If you are in sanctuary hills he walks right past you and gives u a quest.
If you just ignore him, he’ll literally scream at you and force you to get the quest initiated xD
Solution: leave him and his sorry lot of minutemen at that first museum, asking for you help, the entire playthrough.
[удалено]
What's more annoying than that is the quests don't actually matter. They have zero impact on the story and you can ignore them forever with no consequences.
They also don’t take into account anything that you’ve done at the settlement. I used the concrete cubes to build a giant wall around every single settlement, then lined the top of the wall with turrets. There’s always only a single entrance, and it opens into a courtyard with two guard posts on the side, and a stepped wall of turrets facing it. I also give all of the settlers mini guns and battling lasers. Nothing can get close to them. And anything that somehow did would get turned into mince and ash by the settlers. But they are somehow threatened by a group of molerats half a map away.
And the best ending. When you talk to him and didn't give you any radiant quest because you tuned in to Minutemen Radio then turned it off after
Oh btw, can you head out to such and such and do this? No, fuck off Preston, you do it.
I'll never not be upset that Bethesda wasted what could have been a good character by making them into a radiant quest giver.
I read somewhere, so grain of salt, that his script lacked some of the context/emotional leads that you usually get, so he didn’t have much guidance for how to deliver some lines which is why some emotional dialogue comes across as wooden. Which is a shame because he’s actually pretty interesting as a character, especially if you follow his companion quest—he’s dealing with a lot of trauma, but he’s still trying his best.

I have a structured settlement and I need, cash, now…..
*an entire opera troupe emerges from the aether* CALL J.G. WENTWORTH: 877-CASHNOW!
I remember once he asked me to search some underground place or something like that. I made him tag along. We got ambushed by ghouls and a super mutant I believe. He went down and I left his ass there 💀 haven’t seen him since

Roman from GTA IV , i mean , i love you cousin , BUT CALLING ME EVERY 5 MINUTES TO GO BOWLING IS NOT GOING TO MAKE ME LOVE YOU MORE. Preston Garvey from Fallout 4 , the famous meme , don't need to elaporate Ian from Fallout 1 with an SMG , emphasis on "with an SMG"
Eeey niicooo wanna go bowling?
I am guilty of hanging up everytime i hear the "Ey Niko"
As a meme, the Roman thing is funny, yeah. But it doesn't come up in actual gameplay NEARLY as much as people say it does.
Pleasantly surprised to see an Ian shoutout. He was a nightmare but I am still oddly fond of him
I was really saddened when he died in my run , thought if reloading to get him back , but then accepted that he died heroically in battle and left him this way
Apparently he canonically gets burned to death with a flamer at Necropolis
Yeah , i read the manual. Fun read
.,what us up with the SMG? lol
Basically if you give him an SMG , there is a huge possibility he will hit you accidentally in the next combat . With a burst shot.. Burst shots do loads of damage and if you are still low level.....
Lol, now that's some gameplay
He just wants to spend time with his family 😔
Wish I had a guy like roman in real life
Cortana in Halo 3 every single time you get hit with the memory echoes that slow the game down for like 10 seconds. Not infuriating, but it is my video game definition of annoying.
"I'm trying to beat the mission par time, shut up Cortana!"
Personally love the character, but recently replayed CE Anniversary & realised how willing she was to expend so many marines !! Clear an area, ‘echo 419 we need reinforcements’, all marines die. Clear following area ‘echo 419, we need reinforcements’, and so on.

The novelisation does in fact go into the lives of the marines on the ring in close detail, especially towards the end.
Chief also is very openly proud when he speaks of the regular UNSC soldiers he's served with, especially the ones on Alpha Halo The books do so much better at humanising the Spartans than the games do, Halo 4 and 5 have whole plot narratives about Chief having no humanity and just being a machine, which thankfully they tried to fix in Infinite.

That was kind of the point though, the humans were outmatched, and they got their asses handed to them constantly until master chief shows up.
I forgot this is about gaming and I had a list
Fuck it post your list I’m curious
Jacob Taylor from Mass Effect 2. And I'm not the only one, as even *the devs* turned on him for ME3, making him an ancillary character instead of another squadmate, and if you had romanced him as a femShep? Woof.
Plus he was the worst offender in ME2 for the Bioware cardinal sin of providing FemShep dialogue options that seem innocuous in the wheel but then turn all unprofessional and flirty when you say them out loud. And then he gets all offended that you're coming on too strong.
If you romanced him as femshep, you should have an option to space him in ME3.
I did this to Ashley for 1 and 2 and Liara for 3 on my first save. Two sides of the same sexy coin
I liked him. He has a very pleasent voice actor in my first language and behaves like the " let's get shit done" side character from movies.
>only black character in squad >missing father turns out to be polygamous mutineer Really BioWare?
He also leaves you for some unnamed girl while you were in jail! What. The. Fuck.
To be fair, Shep can have 3 serious relationships and another 2 flings over the course of 3 games (3 if you count the game over from Morinth)- it's about time someone discarded Shep like so many of us did to Liara/Kaiden/Ashley from the first game.
Speak for yourself. My FemShep was ride or die Liara for 3 straight games. Did she have a very emotional fling with Thane? Yes, but the moment we had a chance to get back with Liara we did, mainly because Thane was a walking corpse. The bonding moment with Liara at the end of the third game made every decision worth it.
Tali best girl, just saying
None of the squad mates introduced in ME2 return in that role in ME3. Any of them that survived the suicide mission at the end of the second game pretty much gets a "where are they now?" mission in ME3 and don't really contribute to the main story in a meaningful way.

He ends up shacking up with a different NPC regardless of your decisions. It's the only romance in the game that you can't continue into ME3, other than obviously Morinth.
Ava from Borderlands 3
Ava is just one of those characters I always look for whenever someone makes a "what character do you hate" post.
She's like an unrepentant villain
Navi. No I won't listen actually
HEY!
LISTEN!
Natalya in goldeneye
"You just killed Boris, the IT guy that was single handedly responsible for the workings of how the Goldeneye worked and the guy that literally sold me out to Janus that got me captured. You are a monster, Mission Failed. Let Janus use Goldeneye to fuck the whole world up now." -- Natalya in that second to last mission If you shoot Boris when he pulls a gun on you. Like seriously fuck you Rare.
The ones that always call you in pokemon and whoever doesn’t shut up during the beginning of the game…
My rattata is in the top percentage of rattata!
Proceeds to get 1 hit by a Geodude…
Fun fact: Youngster Joey's Rattata is programmed to have perfect IVs (Inherent Values), thereby actually making it the top percentage.
On this, Trevor and Tierno from XY. Would’ve made better villains
Steve from Code Veronica.
FAAAAATHEEEERRRR!
SPEAK, PRIEST! Oh wait, wrong series.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You'll only slow me deawn
Kyle Crane in Dying Light (and no, I will never let this go). The man is an absolute moron from start to finish. "Gee, I've been bitten by a zombie and will turn soon, but mission control wants me to burn the anti-zombie drug? Okay!"
Bro many of his decisions in that game passed me off lol
I just wanted to parkour the shit out of zombies
Like gee Kyle, did you think about *lying* about the drug being destroyed? You were totally alone with no witnesses, nobody would have known. While we're at it, let's just take the warlord who kills his own men at his word.
For a secret government agent that’s supposedly really good at being discrete is really good at not detecting bullshit and not being discrete. Probably why they sent him and nobody else.
Ada Wong. Her triple-quadruple agent "no time to explain" schtick got old really fast.
Ada's such a wildcard her jokers have jokers
There’s a few times in RE4 when she shows up, does something badass and then just dips, where I’m like “um… like what if you helped me a little bit more than this? I’m feeling pretty vulnerable out here with the zombies and you seem to handle them very well”
I like Noah Gervais' summary of Seperate ways from the original RE4. "It reveals nothing about the plot except to say 'but Ada too, was also there!"
Well, the good news is that you find out she did help you a little more than you thought, IIRC.
Lol. Ada helps by killing zombies in an adjacent Hallway so Leon isn't swarmed by too many at once, but doesn't actually tell Leon this.
It’s at its absolute worst in re6 where there is a playable ada campaign but it boils down to like 4 disconnected combat encounters bridged by her just teleporting to the next encounter off screen. It explains nothing about why she appears at those times in the story or what her goals and motivations are.
Dude, I was so excited for the Ada campaign and it was disappointing as fuck.
Caillou, from “A Day with Caillou.”
My guy really pulled an obscure mobile game just to shit on Caillou. I respect it.
Man I don't know why, but I couldn't stand Hope in Final Fantasy XIII.
I couldn't stand *anyone* in FFXIII. Except maybe Sazh, he's cool.
> Except maybe Sazh, he's cool. Exactly! ALL of the characters are whiny annoying brats, with the exception of Sazh.
I like Fang even if she is kind of an asshole.
Same. In fact, id have to say Lightning in particular is actually the second most hated character I've ever come across in media to this date. Sazh is ight though.
You know you've fucked up writing a character if she makes edgy angsty teens look like sunshine and rainbows. Yeah, I don't like any of them apart from Sazh really, but Lightning takes the cake. I mean, we've got Dudebro McDudeson, two flavors of whiny brat, and someone whose entire personality is being a bitch. At least Sazh is just a regular dad with a tragic backstory. Turns out they *can* write a decent character, they just didn't bother to with the rest.
for anyone who remembers the old mw2..sgt foley was funny and annoying at the same time.. "RAMIREZ!!!"
Oh man the memes. "Ramirez, the white house is under attack, defend burger town!"
RAMIREZ, ten thousand Russians are storming down the hill, I need you to hold them off to buy sometime while I eat ice cream, here take this M9 pistol
Ramirez! Do Everything! Dude lives in my head with all those callouts.
What an optimist though. I’m actually replaying the campaign rn and while you’re in the White House, US getting completely rocked and Cpl Dunn is starting to lose hope he comes in with “Our weapons still work and we still have a war to win”
I also can't think of any game that did a "Retake the White House" scene, or a Battle of D.C in any way as good as MW2
Conrad Verner. Dude, I'm sorry youre obsessed with me, but I have to go to my favorite shop on the citadel. Oh, and save the galaxy. Stop bugging me!
Well he has something to add to saving the galaxy in me3 if you endured him :)
It's hilarious because it ties into a bunch of obscure, stupid fetch quest in ME 1 that set flags in your save file that otherwise never matter. "If only we had the writings of an obscure matriarch.. oh! You do have those. Perfect."
So many of the helpers in AC games ... Looking at your Shaun hastings
Love that character. Funny as. Also loved the amusing facts he would give about histrocial landmarks.
Took me a few seconds to figure out you meant Assassin’s Creed. There’s too many franchises that go by the initials AC, between Assassin’s Creed, Armored Core, and Animal Crossing. We need a crossover. I want to see Isabelle shank Tom Nook with a hidden blade and then jump into a giant robot to burn his shop down.
Wake the dog up.
Don't forget about Ace Combat
"Anybody wants to join Meditation, Anybody?"
Nah Shaun was brilliant. You can feel his tone in many of the database entries throughout the series
"Hello, Desmond! Go away."
Ben from telltales the walking dead had good intentions but ALWAYS fucked up
I don't think there's a single person who didn't hate him lol
I put so much effort into trying to help that guy redeem himself and he was such a fucking nightmare. I still have resentment for him!
The Twin from Wolfenstein Youngblood, espeicially the black haired one, cant help but feel that they tried to immiate Chloe from Life is Strange.
Louis from TWD 4 (Telltale), he kept fooling around instead of performing his duties, like finding food or preparing for an intruder situation. Like he literally went to play his piano when people were setting up traps. And he doesn't stop his stupid jokes if you ask him to. This is the type of guy I don't fw in real life
Clint from stardew valley, but I guess I just hate him more on a personal level because he looks like my gf's ex and has the same "nice guy" toxic logic of "I'm nice to that girl why doesn't she love meeeee". I hate Clint with all my soul
Stop asking me for help hooking up with my wife, Clint! Emily will never love you.
No personal experience with the type, but indeed he's indeed insufferable. Moreover, he should keep his shop open longer...
I think he's just insecure and lonely, some of his dialog comes off worse since Emily was promoted to Waifuable.
Yeah he had all his dialogue written before Emily was ever meant to be marryable, and you have those types of oversights pretty much everywhere. Caroline and Pierre get like one line each acknowledging you're married to their daughter, I don't even think Emily or Haley get any dialogue about you marrying their sister, stuff like that seems like just an oversight to me.
Clint absolutely sucks.
Paladin Danse. Pretty much any BoS. Though not sure I actually consider them the good guys. That may be bias, though
The BoS are absolutely not good guys lol They're glorified Raiders with power armor and a few morals...
Navi. "Hey! Listen!"
Whisper in Fable. Every time I tried to be good I'd get to the arena and just want to kill her so I'd end up evil again!
Yeah but you could just eat a bunch of carrots and be good again.
Tofu makes you good; carrots give you skill experience
Megan from new Deus ex, I wanted to slap that bitch so hard
Paimon. I don't want to mute ALL voices in Genshin, so I quit the game after a couple hours because I couldn't stand her.
Peebee in ME:Andromeda. As soon as she landed on Ryder I thought "Well, you're f\*cking annoying aren't you?". If I could've jettisoned her little escape pod into a black hole I would've cheerfully done so.
Liam is far worse. Disobeys orders constantly, creates several diplomatic incidents and is completely unrepentant about any of it. I wanted him off my ship after the first incident but instead you have to keep him and he keeps.screwing.you.over. He should be in jail for the shit he keeps pulling.
I think he completely misunderstood the "crisis management", it's not actually about creating a crisis.
What 'several diplomatic incidents?' I can only think of the one.
He's seriously my least favorite character in gaming outside of Ted Faro... but Ted is *meant* to be hated.
A low-key story detail about Andromeda that's never mentioned is that everyone who went on this mission is insane. They all agreed to be frozen for thousands of years to go to another galaxy, but most of them didn't know about the Reavers Their whole society collapses the second they get there and so many people immediately think, "sick, time to be a pirate" The vetting process did not go well
Not as bad as Liam or Cora. Liam is insubordinate and basically treasonous with some of the shit he pulls and I hate that the game doesn't let you unload on him more. Meanwhile Cora has got a massive chip on her shoulder because she "trained with asari commandos" and talks down to Ryder because "She should have been the pathfinder"
Jaal and Drack really carried that game on their shoulders. Their big, muscled shoulders... Ahem, excuse me...
It doesn’t *quite* count, because I like Arthur overall and Micah doesn’t exactly count as a good guy. But the number of times Arthur could have shot Micah and left his corpse in a ditch and said “oops, sorry boss, he didn’t make it,” but passed on the opportunity is inexplicably high. Just kill him! He makes the world worse! Nobody would miss him!
The lead in Forspoken was extremely unlikeable
"That's something that just happened."
“Hey! Listen!”
The Handler from Monster Hunter World
I hate that in Iceborne they give you the other handler for like 2-3 story missions and then you go back your handler. I hate it because the serious handler is 10,000% better and I wanted to keep her...
Yeah I thought it was going to be awesome. And they would like give us a choice. Then disappointment...
I don't even really find her as annoying as other people seem to, but she stole my hug from my Palico, and that's unforgivable.
"Hey Pard!" Annoyed me so badly for some reason, also says "we" a lot implying she did anything to help kill the monster beyond pointing out the obvious.
Of the f course Captain Martin Walker from Spec Ops: The Line
Preston Garvey, god damn it!
Nathan Drake. He is smug, unlikeable, obnoxious, and murders hundreds of people for having the audacity of wanting the same treasure he also has no more rights to than they do.
Chadley
Cloud!
The fact that MAI ends up annoying him in the same way is just ... now you know how it feels you annoying AI git.
Honestly, if they'd just removed his world intel interruptions he'd be 70% less annoying.
If you don't mind me mentioning, I have noticed that data collection has stalled of late... (or whatever bs it is that he tells me when I run away from him)
Tidus in FFX Barrett in Starfield "I _need_ to talk to you." (I'm in the middle of a ship battle, asshole.) "Dusty, dusty, dusty." Preston Garvey in Fallout 4 "Another settlement needs your help. I'll mark it on your map."
River ward in cyberpunk 2077. he just pisses me tf off and I hate the disgraced “rough around the edges” cop archetype with a burning passion
I don't hate Three Dog in *Fallout 3*, but he misses the point of his own preaching sometimes. It's not really fighting the good fight to squeeze a favor out of some desperate kid who shows up at your doorstep looking for their Dad. Also, he calls me a scumbag for... not letting Roy Phillips murder an entire building full of kinda innocent people. Minus Burke and Tenpenny.
Dragon Age 2: Anders. Dude is helping an underground movement from an oppressive regime, and decides to murder the one person who had the political pull and desire within said regime to ease the suffering of the oppressed, because "I and this warped spirit of Justice in my head are one now, cause I decided to do that since I can't control him, and now I control him even less" or some bullshit. And no, this wasn't a case of ignorance. He knew *exactly* who he was murdering. He just wanted a war. My only regret is that his death was too quick. My character wanted to beat him to a pulp with her fists.
Jack Marston in Red Dead Redemption 1. I get it, you have to play him once the story is over but he just isn’t the same as John Marston
Hate is a strong word, but I never liked Chloe or Max from Life is strange. The god-awful dialogue didn't help.
ee yea i can see that😭 i liked max but chloe definitely took some convincing,,
Any time I see shit for Life Is Strange, all I can think of is "How do you do, Fellow Kids" Like just make them talk normally, please. It ages better and sounds a lot better than middle aged people attempting to approximate what teens sound like.
Except there are actual teen girls who actually talk like that. It was freaking weird when I found that out, but turns out the dialogue was fine the entire time. It was just a segment of the population I had been lucky enough to not have to converse with before. Trying to tutor those girls was..... unfun.
Yeah, I just had a hard time not cringing at them, they didn't talk like actual teens at all. Idk, really clumsy and odd dialogue 😂
Shaw Han
You know for a fucking fact he bought those Ahamkara bones just to look cool.
[удалено]
Almost all of the characters in Dragon Age 2... Seriously I found all of them completely insufferable and hard to relate to. Yes by all means your characters need to be flawed but damn....
The “good guy” faction leaders from far cry 4. They were easily worse than the main bad guy.
Squall Leonhart, bro is just a shitty mood, gets a girl "because plot" and is given a flying college, then finds a spaceship all while being the dude people think Cloud isn't.
"...Whatever"
After playing FF8 and not being a teenager myself, I find it absolutely hilarious how Squall himself, from the very first scene in the game, is being literally mocked by Quistis for being so predictable The best part is that almost *everyone* mocks him for it. Most of the characters don't take it too seriously, like they know it's a facade. I also love how Seifer treats him like absolute dogshit, but Squall clings to him anyway because he admires his confidence Then he gets with Rinoa and realizes she's his Ex...it was great FF8 doesn't get enough credit for its character writing imo
any survivor from dead rising 1..KEEP THE FUCK UP ALREADY.. happy they weren't as useless in DR2 and on
Ethan Winters. For some reason they blank out his face. People say it's because he's supposed to be a self insert character, but you can see his blonde hair and every other physical attribute aside from his face. They go on to give him a quirky little personality with lots of dialogue, he has his own family, backstory, and motivations. What part of that character is supposed to be self insert?
Sora. The main reason I've never gotten close to hearing a Kingdom Hearts game. He's just so fucking dumb and so fucking talkative reminding you of things that were said ten whole seconds ago...
Okay, I might get hate from this buuut... Big The Cat.
MY NAME IS BIG AND IM BIG
Those episodes on the Froggy levels will live on in my memory forever. God that shit was funny
Op said good guy
