Who is your favorite protagonist and what game is he/she from? Mine is the Prince of Persia (Obvious which game he's from).

Whoever the hell you play as in Far Cry 2. When you remove bullets from yourself with nothing but a finger, then you're a badass in my book. If he/she doesn't count because they aren't actually a protagonist, just me pointing at 9 people and saying they're awesome, then Louis from Left 4 Dead. He shoops woop, just do his 'argh' voice command until he shouts "OH NO!"

I don't really have a favorite, but Altair from Assassin's Creed is pretty cool, and a little different.

Kael'thas from Warcraft 3/TFT. That still counts as he was a protagonist in those games, even if he was an antagonist in WoW:BC.

Link

Lloyd from Tales Of Symphonia - beautiful game, plot holes the size of your mum but awesome

Either Conker, Commander keen or Link

^{Not really Link, but I wanted to sneak that in}

Very clever of you...wait, what did you want to be called again? I kept calling you Jimmy but you wanted a new name.

Man I always loved Kael, he was always so devious, so smart, and more importantly he had poise! I really think that's the only reason why both of my 70s were Blood Elves.

Seriously.

And then they made him suck in TBC :( He went all "Blargh DEMONS!" and then all "Blargh UNDEAD!"

at least they gave him one of the more interesting boss encounters (that I played, anyway, admittedly I didn't get very far into Hyjal or anywhere into Black Temple. My guild did but I stopped playing by then.)

Mine would have to be Dante from Devil May Cry 3 (3 specifically yes). He was hillarious.

Richard Groovy Pants:
Master Chief.

(Oh boy, hope no one calls me out on that one!)

Also, my deja nazi 6th sense is starting to prickle, I'm sure this has been done before.

Must......not..........take.......bait..........

Grah I'm sorry, but I have too. Even calling him a character is a stretch, he seems to have the personality of...well...a walking suit of armor.

Edit: Not that it doesent work, it's fine for the setting. I just dislike the religion that seems to be building around it (not him IT)

I'm not sure, I don't even remember you calling me Jimmy.
How about Smitty?
Smitty Werben Jegermanjenson.

^{and I am a cunning fox, though I wish it had linked to Wilsoncrazybed's comment at the end about why the thread was locked. Oh well.
Look at me! I have small writing!}

Ahh thats ok then. Seriosly, everyone in that game is cliche and steryotyped.

I'm no halo fan either, but I'm not trying to derail so ill shut it.

Gordon Freeman.

How he keeps quiet while bashing headcrabs, zooming through tunnels on a boat and sneaking up on Combine, I'll never know.

The Nameless One!

How can you not love an immortal who has lived countless lives over hundreds of years, but thanks to his shattered existence has repeatedly lost all but a few fragments of the memories of who he previously was and how he came to be that way. Especially when his previous incarnations were so.. how to put it.. interesting.

The Malkavian from Vampire the Masquerade. He had the best dialog ever.

Abe from Oddworld: One of the most frail and wimpiest characters ever but still manages to blow up meat and booze factories.

Just realised I never did name my favorate protagonist. I would say Solid snake from the metal gear series, if he himself wasn't shamlessly riped from the protagonist from escape from new york. And I would have to sit down to a meal comprised entirely from my own words based on my wn post further up in this thread.

So I'm gona have to go with the Prince from sands of time. He's one of the few game characters that actually has a believable personality.

Max Payne

Omg lol this thread is a fanboys dream. Lets be real here LINK from the legenf of Zelda has to be the best go LINK!

Guybrush Threepwood. Need I say more?

Sam Fisher. He might be getting a little annoying at this point in the series (I'm probably just bitter from how buggy Double Agent was on PC), but he's still a cool and well-developed character.

Mario.

Who doesn't know him? He's famous for not 'getting any' from the woman he's rescued about a thousand times.

The protagonist from Bioshock.

He has a magical hand that shoots bees. And this is why he takes the prize; because no matter who you are, the moment you're compared to a magical hand that shoots bees you're going to fucking lose.

Sam fisher, or fish I can never tell.

I called you Jimmy because your last name is Wilson and I was instantly reminded of James 'Jimmy' Wilson from House.

it's polite to use quotation marks and citation when you quote someone.

Oh man, so many to choose from.

I guess I will pick Fei Fong Wong from Xenogears.

NO wait I pick Naked Snake! Damn, is it too late to change it?
