C'mon, we all have 'em. What video game character, or characters do you just despise or makes you angry?
I have quite a list. In no exact order.
Emil Castagnier from ToS: Dawn of the New World. To be honest, I can't stand most of the new Symphonia characters(Richter's okay even though he is a Kratos ripoff) but Emil takes the cake. He's whiny, obnoxious, and is simply the worst hero in any video game, RPG or otherwise. I mean this idiot actually had the nerve to ask the main heroine to turn herself in to the group that was trying to kill her. And when he's not whining about how weak he is, he's going on about how Lloyd Irving(who is a much better and more likeable protagonist than Emil could ever dream to be) is the scum of the earth for killing his parents. I can understand being angry at a guy who murdered your family but midway through the game, he runs into a little kid who looks up to Lloyd and calls the kid an idiot just for liking Lloyd. Nice, dude. Calling a kid half your age an idiot? Really low. That's just really low.
Catalina from GTA 3 and San Andreas. I get that Rockstar intended for her to be unlikeable but she goes beyond simply being unlikeable and is completely detestable. She has a horrible personality, an irritating voice, and sadly enough, killing her on the missions that you have with her is actually more rewarding than finishing said missions. Only problem is that then you have to do it all over again. I felt really bad for CJ for having to put up with this witch's crap.
The Owl from Ocarina of Time. What is the owl's purpose? Seriously. Why was it following Link? How did it know Link? Why could it talk? What happened to it during the seven years Link was asleep? I know Nintendo often doesn't explain much in their games but this needed explaining. If you're going to have an owl follow around a little elf boy then explain its purpose! I also hated having to scroll through its neverending text wall just to get it to shut up. And for the record, in my eyes, Navi is a saint compared to the owl.
Princess Peach from the Mario series. Peach embodies every female stereotype out there. She can't defend herself, always needs to be saved by a big strong man(who ironically is shorter than her), has an ear piercing voice, and is a huge ditz. I also don't understand why she just doesn't hire better guards. If the Toads couldn't protect her the last 900 times she was kidnapped, what makes her think that they can protect her the 901st time? Zelda may get kidnapped too but at least she can fight.
Big the Cat from the Sonic series. Why was this character in Sonic Adventure? He had no purpose, no affect on the story. His levels were awful(Fishing...in a Sonic game. Just no) and boring, he was dumber than a rock, and hearing constantly say "Froggy? Froggy?" was just painful. Sonic Adventure was an okay game but he was just irritating.
