Personally, it's Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to "I was bullied once" and that's it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful towards you plus is a character you get to interact with, and Joseph is a lunatic who was right.

Screwball in Spider-man for ps4/ps5. Everything about the character and challenges was just.... not fun, and felt like such a waste of time

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

The challenges in the DLC was straight bullshit most of the time.

And I always hated what Spidey said whenever he didn't get gold on any of them. Like why do you actually give a shit? She's an actual insane person.

Tatsu from Xenoblade Chronicles X is a really annoying little dude. I watched my buddy play through and every time he said anything he’d tell the tv “shut up Tatsu.” It’s arguably more aggravating because the game seems aware of his annoyance since one of the main characters is constantly suggesting she cook him into a dish to eat. I’d say that would be the best outcome.

You stay away from my tatsu!

The first that comes to mind is the entire crew in Pikmin 4, and particularly Collin. Those little chatterboxes never ever shut up or cease giving you advice on things you already know how to do. I hate them so much.

I wont downvote you but you cant stop me from doing this: ☹️

[-] catalyst@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Haha, sorry. They just drove me up the wall. Somebody else in this thread besmirched a character I like though so I know the feels.

[-] catalyst@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Coming back to revise my answer. It’s definitely FF7 Chadley.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

No one mentioned Noober from Baldur's Gate yet...

[-] Lipriv30@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Claire Redfield in darkside chronicles. I saw that ASS and that was the last I saw of it. Before Stellar Blade, there was Claire Redfield. Claire Redfield is awesome.

For me it’s Jessica Chobot replacing the journalist in Mass Effect 2.

Hrm, tricky.

If I had to pick one, Zenos from FFXIV. Incredibly overdone - even in a japanese-game context - hero foil, always used at moments where his presence doesn't fit the tone and interrupts an otherwise consistent tonal progression.

He among other things wastes much of the catarsis of the story's ultimate ending in Endwalker by adding a 6-10 minute incredibly boring battle with a ton of exposition for no reason right in the middle of it.

[-] rushaction@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago

Zenos. Zenos. Zenos.

I cannot update this enough. Just completed the Endbringer MSQ, and holy hell. His entire character, premise, every stupid monologue, every cutscene, his entire arc. Banal and awful. Felt like some 6yo on DBZ crack wrote his entire plotline.

I just searched for any reference of Zenos and I'm glad you posted this. His existence serves zero purpose in the story. Zero.

That is all, thank you!

Since we're on the topic of Far Cry, pretty much every single character from Far Cry 6. The gameplay was fun but the story and writing was so incredibly bad that I had to force myself to complete story missions.

[-] stom@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Unpopular opinion but Wheatley from Portal 2 can go breathe vacuum.

Not a fan of Steven Merchant and felt his voice acting was of placeholder-quality. Made the game considerably less enjoyable to play through with him desperately trying to be funny.

I should look for a mod, because even Gilbert Gottfried would be less irritating.

Kim Kitsuragi.

Mel from MGS. The flirting and hero worship of a guy she'd only read about, too much

[-] Nikls94@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Taion from XC3. He’s just… Edgy McEdgelord

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

That girl in monster hunter world is SO BASIC.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 0 points 8 months ago

John Bradford from X-Com 2, he stopped me playing to tell me something he told me 100 times already.
