The Five Most Fun Characters To Play As

GamingUnion.net: "Mechanics fuel good gameplay and that is what ultimately makes a good game. But every once and a while there's a character that makes a game better just by being in it. The only thing better than watching them fight, is being them and knowing their power. From action games to third person shooters, the following is a list of characters that are beyond awesome in terms of 'cool factor'. They've got the moves, they've got the weapons, and above all else they are (the most) fun to play as."

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but Coletrain, Bayonetta, and Kratos are three of the most dull video game characters in existence. Don't get me wrong: their games are very fun, but there are far better (and funner) video game characters out there.

JDouglasGU5391d ago

duke nukem should be fun eventually. xD

mephman5391d ago

Meh, I honestly don't care much about him any more. I mean sure, he has some cool one liners, but he's been gone for so long.

ape0075391d ago (Edited 5391d ago )

retains that golden duke nukum experience, I hope that DNF have the same design style of the original duke not move from point A to point B.... check point..... repeat with only 2 guns in your hand......checkpoint....move.. ..hold "x" or "square" to change weapon, keep that for cod and halo, it work for them, it dose not work with duke at all

Old School Design FTW

Mista T5391d ago

Duke Nukem was the first to come to mind, you are the ultimate bad ass saving our chicks from alien scum, he is the most, or will be the most fun :P

It's all about the Cole Train baby! I hope he gets a bigger part in Gears 3.

Fishy Fingers5391d ago

As long as it's not his arms, or thats half the screen gone ;)

mephman5391d ago

Haha, well at least Baird is more likely to get cut out then. :p

pimpmaster5391d ago

i think baird is hated universally.

moshdude5390d ago

I actually Like Baird. He isn't the stereotypical 'hench' soldier

Kioran5391d ago

I love the cole train so much, I've already called him for gears 3.

mephman5391d ago

He is pretty iconic. I mean, he even got in SSBB.

ape0075391d ago

but the best "snake" ever imo was the snake from mgs2, in the TANKER part

a total Bad@ss

Gears of War 2 Remake was in development “10 years ago” but was scrapped by Xbox

Ayi Sanchez: "Old work. I did this 10 years ago now as part of a material test for a remaster of Gears of War 2 that never happened."

RaidenBlack113d ago

lolz,
hope we're still getting Gears 2 & 3 for PC, as per rumors

Cacabunga112d ago

Xbox always taking the right decisions

XiNatsuDragnel113d ago

Wow... just wow Microsoft sigh at it again 😑

Lightning77113d ago

Weird, in mean they had no studios to make anything really new so there's a part of me thats kinda glad they scrapped it. If they released this back then it would of gotten ridiculed for remakes and remastering stuff. Now they have new and interesting games so the collection is harmless.

CrimsonWing69112d ago

Geez, Xbox, something like that I would’ve bought Day 1. Great business decisions over there.

lucasnooker112d ago

10 years ago it wasn’t such a big deal. The games were only a few years old by that point

CrimsonWing69112d ago

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition came out in 2015 (essentially 10 years ago), having a follow-up to that on the then next-gen console would’ve absolutely been welcomed, in my book.

LoveSpuds112d ago

I can only assume the the Gears of War Remaster flopped so they decided to scrap the other remakes?

Seems short sighted to me as I really enjoyed the 1st remaster. Regardless, I'll snap up some remakes to play on my PS5.

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz149120d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga120d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero120d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga119d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g120d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor120d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos120d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv72120d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos120d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel1989120d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv72119d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

coolbeans120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.

-Foxtrot140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.

I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online

jwillj2k4140d ago

Same universe doesn’t mean same world or galaxy

SeTTriP139d ago

Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.

They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.

-Foxtrot139d ago

On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.

micdagoat19139d ago

would be great if switch 2 upgrades resolution and frame rate on bayonetta 2
