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 to them. 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. He shows this 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 admits then he 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 like 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 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 even mistakes a woman (Cammy) for being Ken Masters, I'm sorry, but what kind of crappy logic is that?! He mistook a woman for a guy he's never actually seen before!!!

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.

Number 3
EDGAR ROSS (from Red Dead Redemption)

Edgar f*****g Ross, now this is a guy you will certainly hate in video games even more than Porky Minch and Jaspar Batt Jr., and with very good reasons. Ross is an FBI agent (or BOI (Bureau of Investigation) agent as he would've been known at the time), prior to the beginning of the game, Ross has the family of protagonist John Marston kept away from him and in a prison in exchange for Marston's cooperation in having the protagonist hunt down his former partners-in-crime.

Ross speaks like a corrupt hypocrite, believes he is morally in the right and doesn't regret the consequences of his actions. He has Marston search the enitre American west and what was once northern Mexico back then looking for the members of a gang that Marston was once part of. Eventually when Marston kills the last gang member Dutch Van Der Linde, Ross gives Marston back his family, and you think that is where the story will end right? WRONG! Ross decides go back on his word, bring a number of US Marshals and US army soldiers with him to kill Marston AND his family (and possibly his little dog too), just because Marston was once affiliated in a notorious gang in the past. After Marston dies sacrificing himself for his family's safety, Ross then takes credit for all the killings of the gang members that he had Marston do and also makes it that the protagonist he had a cruel leash on in exchange for the safety of the guy's family was also a villain as well. And the kicker that p****s me off the most about it, even after being confronted by John Marston's son Jack, he damn well doesn't regret one bit of his actions and dies thinking that way, what a bastard!

It does amaze me that when people do a top 10 of video game characters they truly hate, they do not put this guy in, because his actions in the game is possibly more than enough to put Edgar Ross so high up in their top 10. Forget characters like Count Veger or Reaver, Edgar Ross is a video game character who should be hated much, MUCH MORE!!!!

Number 2
GAOH KYOUGOKU HINOWANOKAMI (from the Samurai Shodown series)

When you are a major fan of fighting video games, there is always going to be that one boss who is guaranteed to make you pull your own hair out, while you wish it was his you were pulling out. Boss characters like Azrael from Tekken, Alpha-152 from Dead or Alive or Leopold Goenitz from King of Fighters are well known to infuriate most gamers due to their cheap overpowered moves. But none of them have ever infuriated me in such a way or is just as cheap and overpowered as the Samurai Shodown boss character, Gaoh Kyougoku Hinowanokami!

If you guys ever thought that Azrael was bad, you've never met this guy. Gaoh is by far the most fustrating final boss I've ever had to deal with in my entire life, why SNK didn't put the classic fatalities in Samurai Shodown V I'll never know, but it makes me furious that I can't because I would to see Gaoh get sliced in half. Gaoh's weapon is a cross spear and you can bet he'll constantly hit you with it relentlessly taking huge chunks of your health. But the worst part about this guy, you fight a demon form of him called Demon Gaoh in Samurai Shodown VI as the final boss, just as cheaper, just as broken, just as overpowered, he makes the other cheap bosses out there look pathetically weak. And everytime I lose to this guy, I just want to painfully rip his ridiculous, ugly, GODAWFUL BASTARD OF A  MOUSTACHE!!!!! 

If some of you think that Gaoh looks awesome or his......moustache......looks badass, I can promise you that you won't be thinking that way ever again when you start fighting him.

Number 1
GUAN SUO (from the Dynasty Warriors series)

When there is a video game character that you despise, it is interesting to note that maybe it's because it's all intentional, that they were made to be hated that way, and therefore, those characters like Eric Sparrow, Rufus and Edgar Ross actually have a purpose to be in a game. But what isn't okay is that there are video game characters out there who are so under-developed, so poor in their roles, so ridiculously generic and boring, and the fact that their very existences serves no actual purpose in a video game it's just too painful to even look at them in the face. On March 10th 2011, Koei gave us Dynasty Warriors 7, one hell of a badass game. But on it's character roster stands the shining example of my explanation and being (in my eyes) the worst ever video game character in all of existence. The fact that his presence alone in Dynasty Warriors pisses me off to the very deep core it has gone to unbelievable depths. Ever since this awful excuse of an existance ever showed up being announced in that Famitsu game magazine, I have hated him, I have wished death on the one responsible for creating him, I have wished that this character would be relegated back to generic NPC in future games or better yet, not appearing at all. Why oh WHY does this guy exist? And the name of this pathetic excuse of a video game character, GUAN SUO!!!!!

This motherfucking asswipe (forgive my English) is the bane, the very bane of my love for video games. Guan Suo is merely a waste of space and the only reason he's a playable character in the first place is because he's the fictional son of Guan Yu, a role that Guan Suo just absolutely sucks at playing. But do you know what truly, TRULY pisses me off about this guy the most? Not only was he chosen instead of someone far more talented and competent as a playable character like Liao Hua, but the fact that Guan Suo actually stole Liao Hua's roles from the novel that the game is based on in the game, and doing it so poorly it just goes beyond how much I hate him. My hatred for Guan Suo is so deep, I would be mortified AND offended by anyone who says they like him, it has gone that far.

Out of every video game that has ever been created in the world of video games, Guan Suo is the worst, most hated pile of filth I've laid eyes upon. And Koei, if there is one thing I beg of you to do in future Dynasty Warriors (other than start paying attention to your western fanbase), please in the name of all that which does not suck, please cut this worthless piece of shit from the character roster and never think of him again.
