User:ClarentBloodArthur/Top 10 Most HATED Video Game Characters

WARNING! This is a Top 10 list that shows the opinion and thoughts of the author.  DO.NOT.EDIT.ON.THIS (especially users who keep adding unnecessary categories) unless you wish the author to go all severely  draconian  on you, and that's a promise.

In the world of video games, there are characters that you love so much, and there is always going to be that one character you're going to utterly despise, and wish nothing more than an extremely painful death. Ever since I've been playing games since I was 5 years old playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the SEGA Megadrive/Genesis, I came across characters you wish you could just punch in the face if you met them in real life. But if you're expecting video games characters like Duck Hunt Dog, Jasper Batt Jr., Porky Minch, Pigma Dengar, Count Veger etc. to be on this list, you'll be sadly disappointed because I've never played the likes of No More Heroes, Starfox or Jak and Daxter (and I don't intend to because they don't appeal to me) and although I have played Duck Hunt, there are far worse characters I hate more than the dog that laughs at you. So here is my top 10 list of characters I wish to personally KILL.

Number 10


CLUCKIN' BELL EMPLOYEES (from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) It's pretty wierd just how you can like a character in the Grand Theft Auto universe, mainly because no matter how psychotic that character is, it doesn't change the fact that his/her personality is done so amazingly well you find them entertaining and likeable (like Brucie Kibbutz or Trevor Phillips). There are indeed characters of course that you'll hate in the GTA universe, characters like Dmitri Rascalov, Brian Jeremy or Steve Haynes, but there is none in the series whom I hate more than the Cluckin' Bell employees in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

These guys talk like they are literally asking to be killed by you when you go inside a Cluckin' Bell and buy a meal, I mean I know they meant to be a joke on real-life fast food restuarant workers, but the Cluckin' Bell workers just take things to a whole new level of jerkass. The thing that really sets me off about these guys is that everytime I hear them say ''"If you come back, you're a moron." ''when you buy food at Cluckin' Bell, it's like (for me anyway) they've said something else entirely far more insulting, so vile enough to trigger your berserk button that I can't help it but blow their heads off with a shotgun. While there are far more immoral characters in the GTA universe that have done so many atrocious sinful acts (including the protagonists you play as), the Cluckin' Bell employees just simply rub me the wrong way the most in terms of their personality.

Number 9
AGAMEMNON (from Warriors: Legends of Troy)

Anyone who has played Warriors: Legend of Troy and completed it will unquestionably mark this guy as the most hated character in the game. While his role in the game is slighlty different to his role in Homer's Illiad (which is about the Trojan War), Agamemnon is still that same despisable commander of the Greek army.

This guy doesn't even hide what an absolute b*****d he is. Using his position as the commander of the Greek army (at the behest of his brother Menelaus), Agamemnon greedily claims all the spoils the Greek victories that he had no major role in and claim all the credit to the victories for himself, which is what he does in the level where Ajax singlehandely conquers the city of Thebes, Agamemnon at first tells Ajax that the city is 'theirs' but then starts spouting how history will remember him as the one who took the city when he didn't even lift a finger. Agamemnon is a terrible commander, and his greed is so severe, he's even willing to have his entire army suffer a plague by Apollo which was caused by his own actions, and when he's forced to return the priest's daughter, he then takes Achilles's concubine knowing it will piss Achilles off. His actions even unnerve many of the Greek soldiers who don't even have any choice but follow him, especially the voice of reason Odysseus.

While he returns home in the Illiad, you actually fight Agamemnon as the final boss in the game, and at that point you want to brutalize this son of a b***h so painfully, but the fight gets annoying because he's got powerful bodyguards at his side that will constantly hit you, and Agamemnon himself can execute a powerful strike that can take a huge chunk of health off you. When you do finally kill him, it's kind of uneventful because you wanted to see him die a painful death and not the other way around. Warriors: Legends of Troy is a pretty good game if you're a fan of video games based on ancient Greece (although there's no Diomedes in it boohoo T_T), you'll immediately start hating Agamemnon the moment you see him.

Number 8
ERIC SPARROW (From the Tony Hawk's series)

Anyone who has played a Tony Hawk's game with this guy in it will definitely understand why I put him on the list. If there's one type of person I hate, it's friends who betray you out of jealousness, and that's exactly the kind of person Eric Sparrow is, and you'll hate this a*****e just like I did in Tony Hawk's Underground.

In the beginning, he is your best friend since childhood and the two of you help each other out for the first three stages of the game, that's including rescuing Eric from drug dealers in New Jersey and getting him out of prison in Tampa. Despite everything you've done for him, this guy doesn't get you signed up for the Tampa skating competition. Why? Because he's jealous you're better than him at skating and that there's less competition, though he doesn't show it at that point. Unfortunatly for Eric, you managed to get in the competition and win it, much to his fury. Soon after, he joins the skating team and helps you with filming your stunt in Hawaii, only at Slam City Jam, Eric makes sure no one sees your awesome moment in film and gets to be a pro skater himself, tell me who can't be furious at Eric at that point?

Eric Sparrow eventually gets you thrown off the team for something he caused and makes it as if you're to blame for it. The next time we see him, he's become a total jerkass who only skates as long as he gets gold in his pocket. Eventually, you and Eric have a final confrontation where the winner gets the Hawaii tape (since Eric didn't reveal it to anyone), and while you do have an alternative ending where you punch him in the face, it's just as deliciious beating Eric at his own game and watch him throw a major fit afterwards, after everything he's put you through. Although after all that he still acts a jerkass and is totally unrepentant in future games, seeing this guy lose in the end of Underground was just a satisfying way to finish the story of the game.

Number 7
RUFUS (from the Street Fighter series)

Why the hell did Capcom think it was a great idea to include a obese character that just won't even shut up? Some people think Rufus is entertaining, some like him for his gameplay, but I personally despise this tub of fat grotesque piece of s****y lard. To me, Rufus is the worst Street Fighter character the series has ever included in the games, seriously I find this guy to be a waste of space in a character roster that it could've been filled by a better, more likeable character (Alex or Rainbow Mika anyone?)

What I hate about Rufus the most his is goddamn annoying personality, like I said before you may find find it funny but I don't, he reminds me of someone I know in real life who is incredibly obese and just won't shut the hell up because he's so f*****g obnoxious, the only difference between Rufus and this guy is that one knows Kung-fu and the other wishes he does. One thing I like to point out is that Rufus' main goal is to find and defeat his self-declared rival Ken Masters, but he's so stupid in pursuing a goal he has no chance in hell  of accomplishing he actually mistakes a woman of being Ken Masters.

I think the only reason I haven't phoned Capcom and telling them what were they thinking of adding this giant fat retard in the game is because I get ultimate pleasure beating the crap out of him in games. Sometimes I feel like they should bring in fatalities in the game, where one of them is where you deliver a punch to Rufus' stomach so devastating it leaves a giant satisfying hole where all that horrible fat use to be. Now that Street Fighter V is now under development, I'm hoping that one character they don't ever bring back from previous games is this fat b*****d.

Number 6
TIME DEVIL (from The New Zealand Story)

Ahh New Zealand Story, what a game. In case some of you have never heard of it before, The New Zealand Story is about playing a Kiwi called Tiki where your friends have been kidnapped by a giant walrus and you travel all over New Zealand to free your friends. I really liked playing this game, although as you progress further it got difficult but it was still enjoyable nonetheless. But there was one thing that truly p****d me off about this game, and that was the goddamn Time Devil!

Like the Reaper does in Persona 3, this little guy shows up when you remain in a level for too long. At first it may sound reasonable and as a little kid you'd probably be terrified of it, but it isn't it's really annoying because the time he does show up is really random. You'll get stuck in a level many, many times in the game and the Time Devil's music starts playing and all you can think of is finding the exit quickly, but you end up taking the wrong direction because you have to get away from him, and everytime that happens, I can't help but fling impolite curses at the Time Devil. Oh and just in case why you have to run from the Time Devil, because it will one-hit kill you and you can't even defeat it either, as if him showing up randomly didn't help things. My overall opinion about New Zealand Story sums it up like this: the game is pretty damn good and you should play it if you have the opportunity, but I just wish the annoying Time Devil was never in the game.

Number 5
SHO MINAZUKI (from Persona 4 Arena Ultimax)

Sometimes just a character's personality alone is enough to make you hate him/her more than someone like saaaay, Porky Minch from Earthbound, there is someone in the Persona game series that's a perfect example of this. I really love the Persona series and their are hardly any characters you can't hate in this game mainly because the personality, roles and voices in the games are so well done, except if you're this guy.

I get that Sho Minazuki has got quite a screwed up past in his backstory that made him became what he is (spoilers), but damn must he seriously act like a whiney little b***h thinking he's some kind of bigshot who thinks he's almighty powerful? Everytime he appears, I just seriously wish my fist could go through the TV screen without damaging it and punch this a*****e in the face. While I do find his 'second personality' Minazuki to be a lot more tolerable, it doesn't change the fact the personality of this guy is more than enough to make me want to destroy him so badly.

There are other characters in the Persona series that I hate, like Mr. Ekoda from Gekkoukan High or President Tanaka, but Sho Minazuki absolutely tops the list of most hated Persona character because of his goddamn personality and how he acts towards everyone.

Number 4
THE INFECTED (from Dead Island series)

People who have played Dead Island will definitely understand where I'm coming from with these S.O.B.s that immigrated from the 28 Days movie franchise. The infected are by far the most annoying enemies on the Dead Island games and I really find it infuriating whenever they show up.

Unlike some of the undead in the game, the infected can potentially one-hit kill you even though you are in full health and there is one of them in front of you, and yes, that has constantly happened to many other players I know and not just me. Even though you can hear their shriek they can actually attack you from out of nowhere or even from behind before you can strike back at them, which can prove to be really irritating for many players.

One thing I also hate about the infected is how they react to your presence. They act like some steroid junkie who thinks nothing in this world can stop him in his path, and he runs at you like he's going for gold, and honestly, that type of zombie just really p****s me right off.

(More coming soon so be patient with me~♪ )
