What’s a game character you dislike but everyone else loves?

[ATenderLad]

Well, shu in the actual story is a dramatized take from a shu fanboy so it makes sense they would annoy you.

That said wu 4lyfe.

That reminds me, I was curious awhile back about the perspective that story was written from and came across a fascinating answer on Reddit, from a commenter going by SpaceDumps.

I don't really like Undertale as a whole as I don't find the story very compelling and I find the characters annoying but I don't like Sans and Papyrus in particular.

I don't see why they're so popular, they annoy the shit out of me more than anyone else in that game. Frankly, I'd like to play soccer with their heads.

Zero.

At one part i like Zero because he's really cool with his double busters and the Saber attack.

But the biggest hate-part for me :
HE DIES WAY TOO MUCH AND EVEN COMES BACK AT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIMES , AS IF HE'S A BLOND ROBO - JESUS ON STEROIDS WITH CONSTANT SUICIDAL INTENTIONS AND A KINK FOR SELFDESTRUCTIVE EXPLOSIONS !!!

What makes this immortal comedy really stupid is that X is always suprised and happy when Zero is back but sad and shocked when he "died" .

I love the X-games but at some point it becomes a unintentional parody of itsself .

Perhaps I would've liked him if he had a personality and wasn't a spotlight-stealing Gary Stu.

Yeah, I don't know if his popularity is based on ironic memes or not but either way I hate that depraved purple bastard.

Absolutly true .
Atleast there are crumbs of a background about him there.... but .... yeah.

Even Vile had much more character than Zero.

 

[nintara]

not outright dislike but v.iv rusty from armored core 6 trying to be the mc's friend so fucking hard and overusing the word "buddy" made me like him a lot less than the rest of the fandom.

Tharja from Fire Emblem Awakening.

I can guarantee that 99% of the people who like her only do because "hot goth yandere" and nothing else beyond that because if you *were* to look beyond that, you would know that she straight up abuses Noire, her future daughter.

I mean, I already don't like yanderes and cannot understand why people like them, but the fact that she's the reason why Noire is a nervous wreck full of issues is really what makes me hate her.

I mean, you can't really take anything she says seriously because it is so absurd. Most of Awakening supports are over the top and comedic. But yeah her relationship with Noire is beyond messed up.

I also feel like every character in Fire Emblem being a Mary Sue/Gary stu gets kind of boring after a while. Its nice to have a darker/more villainous personality. That's why Tharja is so beloved.

It's kinda funny how she hasn't even done half of those things in game yet. like... the point of the whole game is we are trying to stop robin from becoming the vessel of a dark god, but can we also stop a mother from being abusive as well? It's weirdly complicated to blame her for what she did to Noir when she both has and hasn't even done it yet. Do we hate for her potential to do it? Would this Tharja do the same if her husband dies now? did meeting Noir change anything? Who knows... as far as Game/anime logic applies I can kinda of look past it.

giving people a cold for fun during war is fucked up though.

 

[Boo Man]

Titus from ffx is a cringey douche and yuna only likes him coz hes good at blitzball

 

[fake-kun]

Hot crazy people are still hot. It's that simple.

 

[ThatOneLum]

Not that I don't like him but lean more towards Lara Croft than Nathan Drake.

I honestly cannot fuckin' stand Nathan Drake. I've always found him smug and insufferable, but especially as the series dragged on.

Lara is the GOAT tomb-relic-stealing adventurer in her pre-reboot appearances.

 

[Dyne]

I really dislike the Mario voice. Does anybody else share that annoyance?

What do you mean, I love Lou Albano

 

[nattybohman]

The Kingdom Hearts guy with the clown shoes who hits his enemies with a giant novelty skeleton key.
I've never played it, but that guy alone makes me not want to try.

Nah, Lou Albano is awesome. I was talking about the guy who snorts a whole canister of helium before his performance.

She's not great, but she's not even the worst character in her own game.

That dubious honor goes to this whiny brat

And this stupid bimbo

Man, even the character designs for this game are annoying. Makes me want to slap them through my computer screen.

 

[CG4R12I4N]

The difference is that Hope and Serah are already pretty universally hated in default, while in reverse Lightning was loved by everyone and their moms in that era despite having personality and development equivalent to a brick.

The 13 cast is in general fairly hated, never seen someone who likes female cloud who played the older games.

 

[happymasksalesman]

Leon Scott candy in re series.....I have a good name for him

I call him "Leon sklety" just look how he hold flashlight? He do whatever he want in series. Others help but he ignore them.......they must make Hunk the main character.

 

[maciintosh]

Seija Kijin, from Touhou 14. Just about every Touhou fan I've met that has mentioned her seems to like her, but I just think she's... Boring. And she has the most annoying spellcards out of any boss in the series, in my opinion.

 

[AstroBelmont]

I don't Dislike Alucard perse, but i find him the most overrated Castlevania character.

He is near-useless in CV3, his ACTUAL debut game (can't attack on stairs bro, you know how bad stairs in CV3 are?!), and the "I played SOTN and literally nothing else" crowd is my most hated type of Castlevania "Fan", these fools pretend SOTN is the first metroidvania (it isn't, Simon's Quest is)

And also because of his popularity you get people demanding a new CV game where he is the protag and pretend the GBA and DS games don't matter (when Aria of Sorrow and The DS trilogy blow SotN out of the water) and i blame Alucard fanboys as to why The Netflix cartoons glaze him so hard (but that is another topic)

Alucard to me will never be the Face of Castlevania. Has he fought Optimus Prime and Megatron? I don't think so, but i know who did.
