Best Video game hero/heroines

[Da_man]

Kinda going off on the "wosrt enemies thread, what is your favorite hero ( read: good guy) in video games so far?

[Bee Hoon]

The PC. Because she is my avatar!

[Inyri]

Samus is teh bext! <3

[Da_man]

^Agree

 

Gordon Freeman, he kicks @$$.

[Astor]

If it's heroes as in the character you play, then for me it would be a choice between The Exile, or Indiana Jones.

 

Yeah, i'm an LA whore

[Rogue Nine]

Leisure Suit Larry.

[Sabretooth]

Guybrush Threepwood, the Mighty Pirate.

 

Lookbehindyouitsathreeheadedmonkey!

[Astor]

Sabretooth! That's just inspired me to sing one of the best songs from those games! All together now...

There's a Monkey in my pocket,

and he's stealing all my change,

his stare's all blank and glassy,

and I think that he's deranged!

 

 

Don't forget Stan either!

[Jeff]

Leon S. Kennedy is awesome in Resident Evil 4. Link and Samus are cool too. And then any PC I make in RPGs.

[JoeDoe 2.0]

Master Chief from the Halo series, all those transplants and steroids proved useful in the end

 

And an honorable mention to Kaim from Lost Odyssey, he proves that been immortal is not always a good thing

[Pho3nix]

Gordon Freeman and Solid Snake, though Snake isn't the "typical" hero.

[Da_man]

Master Chief from the Halo series, all those transplants and steroids proved usefull in the end

 

Yeah, but you have to be really, really, REALLY high or really crazy to do some of the things he does.

 

Jak form the Jak game series for the PS2. Has anyone actually played that game?

[Ctrl Alt Del]

Dante. From Devil May Cry. Guy's got a sword stabbed on the heart thrice and is still alive.

[Corinthian]

James 'Jimmy' Raynor, StarCraft. Followed closely by 'The Vault Dweller' from Fallout, Chell from Portal, 'the Chosen One' from Fallout II, and 'Nasrudin Reborn' from Arcanum.

[Pavlos]

I would say the Nameless One or the Vault Dweller but:

Leisure Suit Larry.

End of. No arguments can be raised against this. >_>

[Corinthian]

Roger Wilco beats Leisure Suit Larry any day of the week. And twice on Sundays.

[Alkonium]

Gordon Freeman. He's a theoretical physicist with no military training (he also wears glasses), and yet he guns down countless aliens and soldiers. Can you be more awesome than him?

[Paddythegreat]

Raziel, from the legacy of kain series. He just oozes class.

[Rabish Bini]

Well, I was gonna say Solid Snake and Master Chief, but they're nothin compared to the might of Duke Nukem!! "Hail to the king, Baby!"

[The Betrayer]

The guy you name at Sacrifice. Revan at KotOR. Exile at KotOR 2.

[Da_man]

Mario the plumber. You know, fat, Italian. "Itsa me, Mario!"

[JoeDoe 2.0]

^Yoshi is also awesome, to eat all those monsters without getting indigestion is just amazing

 

The nameless hero from Bioshock for his incredible tolerance to all those chemicals he injects in his body and Nero from DMC 4 and Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden, he would be rich if he worked as a gardener

[stingerhs]

wait a second, why is every one listing the playable characters?? we can list PC allies, too, right??

 

on that note:

 

Canderous Ordo

T3-M4

HK-47

Sergeant Johnson (Halo series)

Alyx Vance (Half Life 2)

Martin Septim (TES IV: Oblivion)

 

as far as playable characters go:

Agent 47 (Hitman series)

Richard B Riddick (Chronicles of Riddick)

John, Spartan 117, Master Chief (Halo series)

Gordan Freeman (Half Life series)

 

and i chose those characters because you can't change their hero status through the course of the game as you can with games like the Kotor series and Oblivion.

[jedispy]

I second that Inyri. Samus Aran is the indisputed CHAMP of all time. She beats out all others (especially that panty waste Master Chief)

[Corinthian]

Not really. Ever hear tell of Jack Walters, Jedispy? Took on Father Dagon and Mother Hydra and lived to tell the tale.
