So, I think everyone has played a game where they would love to see nothing more than the protagonist die. So, in your opinion, who is the most hateable video game protagonist?

EDIT: For those wondering who my hated protagonist is, it is Niko Bellic from GTA IV. He is the most plain protagonist I have ever seen.

Long list...
I'll start with Rico Rodriguez from Just Cause 2. I don't hate him, but geez, he just deserves to die. XD

SPOILER

VVVVVVVVVVVV
:SPOILER: There's also Jason Brody from Far Cry 3. Seriously, what kind of fucking asshole leaves his friends, family and girlfriend behind to stay on a crazy island and murder pirates? :P :SPOILER:

I also disliked Brody but not for leaving his friends and such but for being such a whimpy wuss. I really liked the game but he was one of the worst characters in games I had to deal with (as opposed to Vaas, who's one of the best chars in games IMO)

Yeah to be honest I have to stop playing at times cause I hate Jason Brody so much, him and his friends. Think the "happy ending" is best cause they all die. All the antagonists of the game are much better and really are the ones that should win.

i know i may be getting into a huge discussion here, but i have to say it, lara croft on the latest game.

i understand shes supposed to be scared, lost, as close as possible to resembling a normal human being, because its her "debut" into tomb raiding....but i hate to play as her in that game, shes soooooo emotional. its like if i play duke nukem/serious sam/"power overwhelming hero of your choice" and i have to see them cry, get scared and call for mommy...im sorry i cant, its an oximoron in my book, a wimpy whinny lara croft? no thank you

now dont get me wrong, the game is really good and stands on its own 2 mud covered feet, but i just cant stand her like that after being the most awesome female raider there was.

also, dude you dint give us your own hated hero

I actually really liked her character. The game is all about Lara becoming a woman (because after all, she's only 21 in the game). You get to experience the first time she kills someone and many more horrible events that would shake anyone who is forced into the most gritty survival situations imaginable. And SPOILERS let's just throw in some evil undead samurai to make things more fun. If she didn't cry and didn't whine, I don't think her character would be believable.

I didnt mind Lara so much, but the narrative that kept on throwing stuff in her face every 3 seconds was OTT and made her script pretty much "ARGH!" or "URGH!".
Her crewmates on the other hand, were all REAAAALLY bland apart from the Scottish guy.

I understand you. But let's agree on something here: Badassness is just well-used/controled assholery. He starts to resemble (mentally) the old Dante in the end of DmC, so it's just plausible to think the bitchy punk grows to the awesome badass he is in the original series.

The voice acting was incredibly awkward and awful throughout THE ENTIRE GAME, not just that one scene. People who played it long ago and liked it now unconditionally love it and won't accept that fact, or anything else wrong with the game for that matter. Also, I don't think you know what sarcastic means.

FFX had weird voice acting because it had weird dialogues which HAD to match the original japanese facial animations :p All in all I think they did a good job.

I'm not going to comment on quality of the entire FFX dubbing, but this particular scene isn't a very good example, yet people still bring it up a lot as the reason why Japanese version is better. Take a listen at the original.

Yeah, exactly.. this scene is always used by people as proof of the bad voice-acting, yet it (if anything) is acutally proof of the opposite, when you played the game and put it into context.. yes, it sounds fake, dumb, stupid, weired and embaressing.. and thats exactly what they were aiming for.

Doen´t mean anyone has to like this scene. Doesn´t mean you have to like the voiceacting or translation in general. But its just stupid to use it as an example for bad voice acting.

Unlike most people though I love Desmond from Assassin's Creed. I seem to be in the minority and would love to eventually get a game where its just all him.

Right now the two companions from battlefield 4 single player campaign come to mind as my most hated. The female Chinese person and the African american guy. Never had I wanted 2 people to die as much I did those two in a video game before. Not sure why but every time they spoke I wanted to slap them, maybe I was just in a bad mood playing that game but the memory is not a good one.

SPOILER ALERT
And at the end I got a choice, I wish there was a third option where I could send both to there death sadly to my knowledge there is not.

Let's just say the entirety of the DmC: Devil May Cry cast and leave it at that...

...Actually, no, don't leave it at that. I don't care all that much about the "alternative reality" Dante's look, but damn, he's just not fun at all. Dante from the old real DMC's was a cocky bastard who was FUNNY as hell. The new guy is trying to be cool so hard that he ends up failing miserably. I don't even wanna get started on Vergil...
