yes definitely him. fucking annoying how he makes jokes in deadly situations.
>>342730093
Not Vidya, but the first character to come to mind is Harley Quinn.
Master Chief
>>342730416
Fuck off, masterchief is an OG
Locke on the other hand
>>342730093
Hatsune Maki. Like what the fuck is this shit.

King K Rool.
>>342730521
Masterchief is basically a carbon copy of Doomguy.
Lara croft. Aside from the blatant sexualization of her in the early games of the franchise, there is literally no reason for her to have any popularity whatsoever.
>>342730798
I was about to say.
Pokemon for anybody over the age of ~13.
It's like the worlds worst RPG, but it's also on a monochrome gameboy. You just walk around getting into random battles and pressing [attack] for 40-80 hours
Mario. Such a boring character that does nothing new every year.
>>342730824
She's got tits, the end.
That's really all that's neededIt's all that I need, at least
Samus. She's just Sarah Bryant with no personality.
Kirby
>>342730773
That one dude can suplex a fucking train. That's pretty based.
>>342730824
She's stoic, tough, pretty, and has a nice accent. What's not to like?

That yellow persona head guy why is he thrown around /v/ so much?
>>342730824
I have no attachment to Lara Croft at all.
I think besides the pyramid shaped pixel tits, people just really liked the simple block, switch, and key puzzles of the old games.
The extreme simplicity of it was like a 3D version of Chip's Challenges, except with uzi guns and dinosaurs.
Same goes for Doom
>>342730948
It's because American children all got bought Mario games, so when they grow into manchildren they keep a holD on those memories
>>342730954
In the same way that a character like Wander from SotC is likable. Even without words, a few well used gestures, expressions, and actions can be enough to establish a personality.
The Prime trilogy contains a lot of subtle characterization that makes Samus feel unique and interesting.
Just my 2 cents.

Doesn't she have a game? Like Project Mongoloid for PSP/Vita/PS4 and smartphones?
>>342731427
All memes aside I have to agree why do people like him so fucking much? Is it because he's that borderline edgy guy that has a deep dark secret unknown past or what?
God, the fuck is her name from Mass Effect...Miranda. I don't know what anyone sees in her.

Koishi. She's the worst 2hu.
Geno is the undisputed master of inexplicable popularity.
>>342731146
>>LOL HULK IN SPACE AND IS LEADER OF A PLANET OR SOME SHIT
Fug u, Planet Hulk was great.
Sure case 5 was one of the best in the series but my favorite part about it was that he was finally fucking dead. He was more annoying than anything, I don't get why people think he's such a good character
>>342730093
Mario
I'm baffled that kids of today who do nothing but play Minecraft on their iPhones still know who he is
>>342731728
Why did you feel the need to
write that all out. Why didn't you just Google her name, and then post.
>>342730928
Chrono Trigger for anybody over the age of ~13.
It's like the worlds worst RPG, but it's also on a 16-bit SNES. You just walk around getting into random battles and pressing [attack] for 40-80 hours
Tali from Mass Effect
>>342731728
People liked her? I wanted to shoot her the secone she showed up
Cloud Strife
>>342732062
>>342730948
To be fair, people care more about the games and the gameplay than Mario himself.

No way, comic book lore is fantastic.
Comics have been really dumb for the past almost 30 years, though. We never really left the dark age.
>>342732276
I never understood what people saw in this guy.
I also never understood why people got upset when he was referred to as "brooding" or "emo" because those things are not exactly leaps and bounds from how he acts in the game.
Maybe not emo but definitely broody.

this, but for a different reason.
a fat mustache dorf made cute is a strange example of a kid friendly character, its generally furies or action heroes
nobody would be able to pull it off today
>>342731650
I personally enjoy the character for his goofy personality. Him having a more serious side under that helps him feel like a deeper character, as well.
>>342731427
/thread
Halo guy what was his name ... Master Chief
>>342732475
he's just some angry cunt with a lot of hair gel and an over-compensating sword
>>342732652
Actually I kinda forgot that he is still pretty goofy, the hotdogs part in particular, now I can see why he's pretty popular
>>342732681
I think the hair is what I like the least about him.
Sonic
Balrog. He should have stayed in sf2.
>>342732187
Mostly because your only other choices are
>Space Racist
>Boring Alien Sue
>Space Clone with a shit personality and a gaudy face
>Space Edgelord
Sephiroth

I can assure you that 90% of people who like him only do so for his design and ridiculous weapon.

Luigi
>>342732670
Probably because of his general attitude and how in III He fucks anything that moves

I think the popularity of master chief was mostly an extension of the popularity of the halo games

Protean.
I don't get why so many people like Ryu from SF or Ray-Man.
But most baffling of all is how many people love Sonic. I mean, I grew up in that era when the first games were popular, and played the first few games, but holy shit, people are so autistic about Sonic.
>>342735698
Which is hilarious because he beats her regularly in the comics and she used to only stay around out of genuine mental problems on her part. She's finally nutted up recently but for a long time she was literally the Joker's punching bag that he could also fuck every now and then.
Lucina, literally Marth for closet gays.
bayonetta
>>342737073
I fully believe that anyone who posts Lucina on this board is doing it ironically or falseflagging. Exclamation points in general make me automatically assume that it's a shitpost.
Aigis
>>342736936
>I don't get why so many people like Ryu from SF
But most SF fans don't really care about him. It's just Capcom forcing him to be the posterboy of the franchise if anything.

I like her but I have to agree.
The boss from MGS3

Elizabeth from bioshock. She looks so out of place in the setting of the already ugly Infinite. I don't mind the porn of her but everyone always talks about how ridiculously beautiful she is, and I don't see it.
>>342732187
/thread
>>342730361
What kills me about her is how capable she is in combat. Why is she so fucking effective. She never had any training. She was an academic who went crazy, not a black ops super soldier who fell in love with Joker.
I don't mind female characters being strong, I mind the strength not being explained.
kirby
>>342741485

Also she is pure

Old Harley was okey, kinda like Joker's Robin. The "new" Harley is fucking shit (Arkham games, that new movie about her or the comics where she just looks like a punk girl with dyed hair)
>>342730093
Franklin from GTA V
>>342741915
Harley has pretty much the same character in Arkham Asylum and City that she does in TAS, mostly because she's written by the same person in both series.

I know that he's supossed to be iconic or something, but after playing the original NES one and A Link to the Past I just found him boring, must be because of not having nostalgia googles.

>>342740775
If we're talking about Samus at all, she's just an early example of "got cool armor and moves for fighting aliens and dragons". It's simple.
Said armor housing a chick is a bonus.
>>342730798
This. I wanted fucking Ridley, got damn it!
>>342730954
>>342731378
This, even though I could never make it through the Primes because the gameplay was shit. Also, girl had a hard life. Parents and surrogate parents both got killed by a sadistic dragon that refuses to die. Her commander gave his life to save her. Then her Metroid larva buddy does the same and gets splattered all over her suit before she's forced to destroy her former home planet. Not to mention all the weird shit that happens in Fusion
>>342731746
She's a well-designed character and came at a time when FF had a streak of pansy fuccboi protagonists afraid to do shit.
She also has some nuances to her personality, at least in the original XIII, that make her a bit more than just a pretty face.
>>342731854
He's kawaii as fuck to be honest. What's not to like?
pretty much any companion in fallout or elder scrolls, the ai is fucking terrible and they get stuck all the time, and even die with immortality thanks to bugs, lydia...

>>342748657
I like the concept of deadpool,I just hate how he's basically portrayed by fans as a meme machine
also all of those cosplays,you could probably do a punchbuggy spin-off at comiccon where you punch your friend for every harley and deadpool cosplay you see
>>342733089
Sephiroth himself wasn't even that edgy. He was a scholar and genuinely nice person until he went off the fucking deep end. Everything that happens after the Nibelheim scene remains unclear as to whether he was doing the to taunting or it wasspoiler
>>342733163
Same as Samus really. Has a lot of nuances and OoT Link had a hard life. He has a fuccboi design though
This fucking cold bitch only has being a Yamato Nadeshiko as her defining point but, she's constantly at the top of popularity charts. Marvelous just plasters her everywhere since her creation too.

It would be great if combat wasn't worse than fucking Ocarina of Time and sidequest didn't treat the player like a complete retard. Awesome quests are fucked up by literal Skyrim tier shit.
>>342751943
Yeah, they knew their audience. CDPR is capable of creating great games but unfortunately most of the people who play them are typical CoDkids and redditors.
For me its Solid. He's okay, a bit generic. Big Boss won me over in PW because of his father-lyness to Chico and his rye humor. It also interesting to see how someone that likable became such an evil person
