Not sure if he's #1, but I did like John Marston a lot.

Kratoscar20084753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

He is!.Hands down the best character Rockstar has ever created.

Cole Friggin McGrath

I have spoken.

ABizzel14753d ago

WTF this list fails.

Everyone knows the best character was the clown from Heavy Rain....

On a serious note, surprised by the absences of Uncharted cast.

Ilovetheps54753d ago

I have three personal favorites. I like Cole a lot from inFamous. He is just a cool character who has some cool super powers.

I also liked Ethan Mars a lot. Heavy Rain was a great game and really made me connect with him.

And then my third and kind of odd favorite. I liked Drebin's monkey. I'm not sure what most people thought of him, but any monkey that smokes and drinks alcohol/sodas is awesome in my book.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart4753d ago

Im sorry but Cole being a "cool character" and having "cool super powers" doesnt make him a good character. There has to actually be emotion and layered personality to be a good character. Im sorry Im not trying to sound like an ass but I just can't stand when a best character list is made and someone wants a character that has awesome shoes over someone like Ethan Mars.

Ilovetheps54753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

Alright well how about this:

*Spoilers ahead*

I think it's awesome how he is Kessler. He went back in time to give himself powers to defeat the beast. He played it out well and was pretty smart, and was willing to sacrifice hundreds of lives so that he could stop the beast in the future. There is a lot of depth to him. His emotional connection to Trish. His connection to Zeke. The humor between the two. He was a great character that had depth. If he didn't have depth, why did all the fans flip out when they changed his character model? It was because they had connected with the Cole they had grown to love.

And also, there's nothing wrong with liking a character because of them being just awesome. I mean a character doesn't have to be a deep character to add humor. But, if they add the humor well, they can be a great character. Not every great character has to be this amazingly well rounded person. I mean one of my favorite characters from last generation was Daxter. He wasn't a real deep character. He was just hilarious to watch.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart4753d ago

None of what you just said was anything like what you said in your first comment. I am going off from you saying Cole is an awsome character because he's cool and has cool powers period. You can say you like a character because he's cool and all that but thats not what this list here is about. Its about best characters on a different level than what your talking about.

dark-kyon4753d ago

sorry but marston is a prety forgetable character.cleary rockstar fanboy.

WildArmed4753d ago

Huh? John Marston was a pretty awesome character.

KillrateOmega4753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

One of his super moves will involve him yelling "Jason!" with the sound waves taking out opponents.

chrispseuphoria4753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

JASON! Level 3 - Red Balloons fill the screen and when they float up, you'll see the characters disappear.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio12d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
