Whoa ... A lot of hate for some characters I wouldn't expect ... Let's see, a character I utterly despise in a video game ... Wait, I have to think? I've played a Naruto game! I shouldn't even have to think to come up with one! Hands down, Naruto is the video game character I absolutely utterly despise more than any other. He's so incredibly stupid. Don't get me wrong, the series had excellent promise in the beginning, but it just got worse and worse as it went along and is just a complete and utter waste of brain cells, nearly to the point of Flapjack, Chowder, Family Guy, Beavus and Butthead, American Dad, King of the Hill and The Simpsons. Any and every Naruto game I've seen has only made it worse by being completely pandering fanservice garbage, contributing nothing to the series and only highlighting the stuff that ruins it. I blame a lot of it on the fillers. (Predictable, coming from a Narutard.) I agree with you on the games. Even parts of certain games that have even the slightest potential of making the game good are taken out in the English version.

Good sir, I have no idea what that image means.... do you hate ipods? Yes I do but that not being remotely the point, and since the picture showed up fine on my computer at home and yet not here in class, I was, thankfully, able to understand what you were on about. Conversely, as opposed to being "smart" (to put things in peachy terms), you could simply say "the link is broken", and I would have immediately been able to understand and rectify the issue, even without having known there was an issue in the first place. Related to my number one "I hate you" choice is the zig-zagged tetris block; the little bugger gave me no end of grief. I'm very sorry about not saying the link was broken, it displayed ipod games on my screen so, I made assumptions....

Back on topic.
If anyone has played Persona 3, and you know the story well enough, you should see this coming.
Chidori. A steriotypical character that cuts herself, and is wearing the most rediculous gothic 'lolita' dress. It's rather sad that the second best character falls in love with her. (Shinjiro being the best. -thumbs up to the dickface of the story-)
She has this stupid attitude of the all-famous 'Emo' and can simply shrug off Junpei that made me wanna punch her. I'm glad that she died. =D

Actually, she can get revived ... But dude, I gotta disagree with you. You're not even remotely taking into consideration her situation or her backstory. She doesn't cut herself for no reason or even for most of the emo reasons. Because her persona's powers are so centered around life, her wounds heal automatically, but at the same time, as an unnatural persona user, her lifespan is unbearably short. She cuts herself literally to feel alive and to feel like she has some sort of control over herself and her life, even though she knows full well she doesn't.
And her backstory has to be one of the few ways I'd actually believe would lead to a character having a truly emo personality. She is more aware of the reality of death than most people are their entire lives, and that she may have even less time than most, so she walls herself off, focusing on her own world, instead of creating relationships that can't last.
Let's face it, you just don't like her because she shrugged off Junpei, when, can you blame her? It's Junpei!

I'm in full agreement with Naruto being a waste of time. (I'm not in agreement to King of the Hill, but to each their own.)
But the characters I hate? Where do I begin?
Kratos from Tales of Symphonia. There. I said it. He's a brooding, traitorous little pig that flip flops more than a tower made out of wet pasta, and I'm upset that he only gets injured and not obliterated.
Kenshin Uesugi from Samurai Warriors 2. He looks badass. He sounds badass. But that's where it ends. His moveset is bland, boring, and could've been way cooler. Sure, not much reason to hate a character. But if people can love Sephiroth for being "bishie", then I can hate Kenshin for a sucky moveset.
Which brings me to the next character. Sephiroth. The. Freaking. End. Any and all redeeming qualities about him have been killed and drained away. Stupid fangirls...
Chloe Valens from Tales of Legendia. I hate how everyone thinks she's the shit. She grates my nerves at every turn of the game, and she has no originality... It's like the game writers thought they'd be original if they took more than one very unoriginal archetype and mish mashed them together. By far, she's the worst Tales character ever... except maybe Kratos.

Lets see... who do I hate in games...
Perfect Dark Zero, talk about taking a great game and completely destroying it. Everything about that game is just suck piled ontop of suck. The guns suck so much *Insert Fallatio refferance*. Just about every gun doesn't have the correct about of ammo for it or stopping power. Its sopost to be the future and you put a f-ing single action 357 magnum in the game? Not to mention the sniper rifle with only one bullet before you have to reload or all the old low tech weapons. Hell, the "pulse" rifle was just a FAMAS shotting engery rounds. I'm not even going to rant anymore about it, it just sucks along with all the characters. However the games one and only up side in my opinion was the weapons sellect before a mission.
Archer in Ace Combat 5. He was useless in just about every sense. Everytime he speaks you just want to hit him. If only he had died instead of Chopper. Chopper was funny, Archer was a pansy on line of Emo. For Archer to shoot down just 1 f-ing aircraft in the game that wasn't stolen from me. I had to put him in an F-22 or F-18 Super Hornet and allow him to use his speacial weapons. All the while I'm in a jet that dates back to the Viet Nam War and I'm shooting down way advanaced aircraft with just my machine guns. Not to mention if I put him in an attack aircraft (Attack Aircraft are for ground attacks) he doesn't attack the gound. Making it completely pointless to put him in one. Lastly, Archer reminds me of a certain someone who I shall fail to mention who is a pansy and annoys me.
Axel form Kingdom Hearts 2... partly because I hate his voice actor and because he was annoying and gave me a craptastic weapon.
Raiden from Metal Gear Soild 2 for the reasons every damn person who has played the game knows.

Slippy from Starfox...I intentionally shot down Slippy at every chance I got. Annoying girly little frog.
"Hey Fox, get these guys off me!" *shoots Slippy instead* "Oh no! I'm monkey food if I don't leave!"

Fat, balding prostitutes on Fable II that walk over and hit on me while I'd like to vomit.

I actually didn't mind Archer; he covered my six well enough, and kept me alive despite my tendency to throw myself into Mach 1.7+ and scream solo into harrowing, impossible situations... ;D
I don't necessarily despise him, but one character that annoys me is the portrayal of Minamoto Yoshitsune in Genji. He repeats EVERYTHING that's said to him...seriously...and it gets annoying, like, five minutes in. Whcih means you get to put up with ten more hours of it.
Unless, of course, you switch to Benkei, whose only redeeming qualities are his massive health bar and ability to perform one-hit kills...

The fangirls make it worse.
A character I really, really, REALLY truly despise? If I was posting in this topic a month ago, I'd say "Colette from Tales of Symphonia"
Ditzy, idiotic, naive, and somehow incredibly lucky, Colette's stupidity and lack of brain cells have somehow worked her way into my heart in the game's sequel, so... I can't say much about that anymore.
GB already summed up in short what I think of Kratos.
I know this may come as a bit of a shocker... but Cloud and Sephiroth. In a mediocre game that has been rehashed, spun-offed, and sequeled more times than Megaman on steroids, it stars a really emo, angsty, annoying, apathetic hero and your typical, emo, "tragic past", "go crazy because of some stupid incident", stereotypical villain. Hell, I could even go on about the rest of cast (Tifa Lockhart being nothing more than a new and improved version of Celes Chere; same goes with Aeris/Aerith Gainesborough and Terra Branford), but I don't truly despise them, so... yeah.
Ike from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. "Oh, hey guys... I'm in a tactical strategy game which means you're supposed to be raising other units, but, LOL, I can solo virtually all the missions, I'm one of the only three characters to hurt the final boss, my stats are insanely high compared to everyone else's, AND in the sequel that's supposed to feature someone else, I steal the limelight because I'm an attention whore."
Also, "Lol, in my first game, I show romantic interest toward the princess and her toward me... but in the next game, LOL, MY GAME CREATORS TURN ME BISEXUAL AND GIVE ME AN ENDING WITH MY BEST MALE FRIEND! HAHAHAHAHAHALALLALALLALAOLOOLOLOLOLOL!!1!1!"
Ugh, talk about ruining a series to cater to the (yaoi) fangirls.
While we're on the topic of annoying, let's talk about Sakura Haruno from the Naruto series. Completely and UTTERLY useless from the beginning of the series (and some of the games), and later in the series when she's useful, she acts like she's totally useless... god, inferiority complex makes me want to punt her straight into the Sound Village. At least Hinata kinda has a reason for feeling inferior and acting like a complete 'tard around Naruto. Believe it!
Oh, oh, oh, and while we're on the topic of Anime/Video Games, let's talk about emo, bitchy Edward Elric. "Why does the world hate me? Why do I have all these problems." It kinda sucks when the main character goes angsty and thinks the world is messed up when HE CREATED 95% OF THE PROBLEMS!
... ah, that felt GOOD to get out. I should do this more often.
Oh, and to show I don't hate ALL video game characters...
Geno, FTW!!!

I actually didn't mind Archer; he covered my six well enough, and kept me alive despite my tendency to throw myself into Mach 1.7+ and scream solo into harrowing, impossible situations... ;D QFT, yo. Although I still find Chopper to be awesome. EJP just ruined the game for me by telling me he dies. (Wait, Archer's that kid that takes off during the air raid to help you out, right?) I don't necessarily despise him, but one character that annoys me is the portrayal of Minamoto Yoshitsune in Genji. He repeats EVERYTHING that's said to him...seriously...and it gets annoying, like, five minutes in. Whcih means you get to put up with ten more hours of it. You think THAT Yoshitsune is annoying? You haven't played Warriors Orochi 2. I know you play these games, so I don't have to tell you how repetitive some of the phrases are. So, I'll just list some of his quotes. Another falls to the MINAMOTO!!!For the glory of the MINAMOTO!!!Let's show them the pride of the MINAMOTO!!!The MINAMOTO!!! (so that you can hear him say it WHENEVER you switch to him or use his true musou!) Really, I don't hate Yoshitsune... I really don't. He just grates my nerves oh... so... very... much... Plus, he`s with Wu when it really should be Fu Xi with Wu. Yoshitsune can go hang out with the Samurai Warriors where he belongs. Okay, Flame? You're my bud, but STFU. Ike rocked, I powerleveled him, and I still felt the need to raise up my other units. ESPECIALLY for the Black Knight fight. No amount of powerleveling saves you from the Black Knight, and those stupid enough to make Ike solo all missions are probably too stupid to realise they don't have to fight him. As for Ike's gayness. That is not fanservice, as that is believable. I would willingly accept an Ike that came out of the closet. Volug, the shirtless laguz of a LONG LOST SPESHUL RACE is fanservice. Because wolf ears are just so "kawaii". Don't rock the boat with Ike, boy. Because I can fling those things at almost every other character in that game too. ...Except Ilyana and Mia. But they're just plain awesome.

Yay! Carmine in GoW2...I just hate it when they make a character who is basically designed to get killed. He makes stupid decisions, is like...seriously half the size of the main GoW characters but tries to play hero anyway in a few bits, and was just overall stupid. But Carmine died in such a funny way that it was almost forgivable. He had acid dissolve basically his entire body from his chest down, and yet he was still able to get off a few stupid dying words.

Wow GB... you never beat the game or waited ever so long to get it? Yes Archer is the kid who takes off during the air raid and has been as useless as he was during the air raid. Yes Chopper dies and its very sad considering how loveable he was. In thruth I found Choppers death to be more sad than when Aeris/Aerith Gainesborough dies in FFVII. However thats a bit unfair since I never liked Aeris/Aerith Gainesborough... partly because I knew she died long before I ever got the game.
Since I see more people are going after Anime and Anime games. I'll join in. DBZ, the games as well the anime is nothing but one bigger fish franchise built off complete B.S.. The live action movie looks like a "B" movie. They keep releasing updates of the same game like they did with Naruto and Dynasty Warriors. With so called "Improvements" when really its the same crap with a few new tricks that you'll get bored of, unless your retarded. Not to mention the anime and the video game, make you retarded.

I never beat Ace Combat 5 because I was borrowing it and never saw a copy that I could get for myself after returning it, thank you very much.

O-ho, GB, trust me...I have Warriors Orochi 2, I know exactly what you're talking about, and I cannot believe he slipped my mind. I absolutely despise that protrayal of him, for all the above-stated reasons, as well as the fact that HE LOOKS LIKE A GUNDAM COSPLAY. Seriously, a gauntlet/beam sword that shoots blasts, wings, a silly "V" crest on his headgear...I saw the concept sketches of him, and they weren't half bad...what the hell were the developers thinking... -_-
