9 half-assed game character designs

Sometimes, it's just easier to take the half-assed approach in life. Why tidy all of that crap clogging up your room when you can just stuff it under the bed? Why bother putting yourself through six years of baffling questions and migraines on Lost when you can just read a synopsis of the ending on the nets? And why go to the effort of designing an original, inventive game character when you can just borrow ideas from other developers or stick a shiny pair of shades on your protagonist? Below, you'll find some of the worst offenders of this noble, half-assed philosophy

...From one of the most half-assed sites on the web.

...In one of the most completely retarded articles you'll ever read. To save people the trouble of giving them hits, here are their picks:

9. The Chimp, from Super Mario Galaxy 2

8. Starkiller, Force Unleashed

7. Adam Jensen, Deus Ex 3

6. Kathryn, Singularity

5, 4. Cole McGrath (and they list BOTH of his appearances, from inFamous 1 and 2)

3. The Piantas, from Super Mario Sunshine (probably the only accurate choice on this list)

2. Darius Mason, Red Faction Armageddon

1. Kirby

Seriously, what about General Scales (Starfox Adventures)? What about Cranky Kong (Donkey Kong Country)? What about Rufus (Street Fighter 4)? Blasto? Noid? Bubsy the Bobcat? The innumerable amount of supporting characters in Sonic since Sonic Adventure (you could make a top 20 just from that)?

RedPawn5787d ago

Hey Nike I would actually switch Rufus and put Hakan, I think he is the lamest character I've seen in a very long time.

ExplosionSauce5786d ago (Edited 5786d ago )

The Kirby rules!
lol

[edit] Also, yeah, the list is pretty half-assed as well :P

Hellsvacancy5787d ago (Edited 5787d ago )

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle14d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg19d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree19d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai19d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde20d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy21d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12520d ago (Edited 20d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
