Are these the worst videogame characters of all time?

For every Sonic, there's a Bitmap Kid, and for every Lara, there's a Mei Ling from Metal Gear Solid. These and other terrible videogame characters revealed...

[Yi-Long]

... I never really minded Tails. A 2-tailed flying fox, how can that be bad!?

It's all the extra characters that came after Sonic 2 that were beyond annoying, along with changed ('evolved') gameplay, and the move to 3d...

I long for a new 2D sprite based widescreen Sonic game.

[callahan09]

Most of these characters weren't so bad. I really liked Midna, actually, I thought she made Twilight Princess pretty fantastic. But I'm weird? Maybe...

What about characters like CAPTAIN NOVOLIN (the diabetes guy...) or CAPTAIN BIBLE (come on... seriously... capt. bible!) ?

I could really go on, but what's the point, eh?

[haphilli]

I don't mind Tails at all, even Knuckles to an extent but then everyone else just got redonkulous.

As for the 2D sprite game I though that was going to be Sonic Unleashed from the earlier screenshots I saw......but now he is a Werewolf and slow. Why?

What the hell is wrong with mei ling

[haphilli]

She was dissapointed in Snake's package.

[okcomputer]

The squeaky voice for starters.. and the weird, stereotypical fortune cookie lines she'd throw out all the time. She wasn't bad in mgs4 though, just mgs1.

[RadientFlux]

I've always felt that female characters in MGS series were just eye candy (there were a few expections). Though I would have replaced Big Mama over Mei Ling.

I was half expecting Snake to ask his mother to cover up.

[kingme71]

I just want to save the game and go to bed but I have to listen to Mei Ling tell me why the fox chases the rabbit and why I should be the fox on the battelfield unless I want to be a rabbit, but I'm really a snake... ugh

[ZeroBlitz]

Mei Ling was awesome and anyone who disagrees should simply stop playing MGS games.

And who complains about "Snake? SNAKE!? SNAAAAAAKE!!!", it's one of the defining quotes of the series.

[Gamekilla]

can u imagine mgs OR any of the following games without "SNAKE!!!!!!!!!!"

it would be like mortal kombat without the guy yelling out "Finish Him!"

[okcomputer]

What, no bubsy?

[ThatArtGuy]

Bubsy is far more annoying than anyone on that list.

[Baka-akaB]

What kind of idiot complaints about the game over's "snaaaaake" of mei ling ? It's kinda an iconic feature of the game , and a nice chance from the usual .

Let's not even start with Guile being one of the worst because of a backstory not even die hard street fighters fans remember .

[Reibooi]

I know people seem to not like Tails but he isn't really that bad they really kinda made him annoying once the games went 3d but not to an extent in which I would put him on this list. Mei ling? Really? Why? There really is no reason for that.

[snakebite36]

whats wrong with Croc? I loved that game.

[Legend Of Indie]

Where the hell is Ashley from RE4!!!!!!!

[Cyb3r]

Crystal Castles thats one of the first video games I ever played and it is the same age as me

[thetruthinator]

he better not be dissin' Tails!!

Dude... tails could fly around while sonic was left only with his feet!
when i was younger me and my friends used to fight over who could be tails.

@ 4 .... Yeah Bubsy did suck..

[miles-prower]

i'm going to MAD!!!!!!!!!!
tails is the best

[blazing01]

he is a useful character in sonic 2 i use to take out enemy that i didnt sonic to because he might get hit n lose the rings and there were short cut that i need tails. n sonic 3 tails could fly n goes places that sonic couldn't reach. tail is not a bad character

[Mcrmarcher]

Tails was alright there was nothing wrong with him, same goes for knuckles but any other characters after that just sucked imo.
