Top 10 Most Unlikable Protagonists

BT writes: Unless the creators of a game are specifically trying not to, most protagonists in games are made with the intent of making them likable to the player. This is because, with a few exceptions, the inability to identify with or like the protagonist can seriously impact perception of the entire experience. Most game developers succeed in this regard and I can say that I’m quite fond of the majority of protagonists I’ve played as throughout gaming. However, sometimes, whether the creator meant it or not, the protagonist of a game is just not likable for any number of reasons, from being insufferably whiney to completely annoying.

To go along with that, I’m listing the 10 game protagonists that I simply hate to play as. Be aware that there are massive SPOILERS for a few games in this list, so don’t read if that will bother you.
