Title: Who is your all-time favourite video game character?
Post by: TLSC.wipeOut on Fri, 27 September 2013, 08:39:36
As the subject suggests, name your all-time favourite video game character! Also, state your main reasoning xD

There can only be ONE! lol Mine has to be SOLID SNAKE. Reason being I have played through all the Metal Gear games including the old school MSX games xD. This guy's legacy is simply put: a complete badass. I can't wait for the release of Metal Gear Solid V. That would be my main reason for picking up a PlayStation 4 lol

MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME CHARACTER IS THE FLYING TOASTER IN THE "TOASTER RUN" GAME, WHICH IS PART OF THE AFTER DARK GAMES SUITE:

That's a tough one. So many video games...

I would probably say Three Dog, of Fallout 3. You don't really get to look at him, but he plays his role so well. In effect, there is really only one radio station to listen to in the wasteland because of it.

Not a ton of story or personality, but that doesn't make him any less influential on my childhood - MM2 is probably what drove me down my current career path in the first place.

My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I?
All that awaits you is a somber morrow
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire
Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return

Gah, I like Genesis too. Maybe Zack a little more but.....    :)

You're damn right it's Lara!!! And the earlier the better. She had the most attractive gait in the first couple of installments on the PS1. I know this is totally irrational but the top three animated women of all time are:

1. Daphne from Scooby Doo
2. Lara Croft (particularly on the PS1).
3. Jessica Rabbit.
