What about this guy? [IMG]http://www.oxmonline.com/files/u17834/shepard_MODEL_2.jpg[/IMG] But the villain is pretty cool, too: [IMG]http://xbox360media.gamespy.com/xbox360/image/article/758/758826/mass-effect-20070126112226566-000.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Vinze;24059923]Yup, allthough he was pretty bad. GTA has always been about being the badguy, no matter how many underaged consolejunkies out there who tries to justify things to their overprotective parents.[/QUOTE] Niko has a lot of morals, infact most of the protagonists aren't as bad in the cutscenes and story as they are in actual gameplay.
I agree so much with the OP. This is why I always choose the villians in games.

The villains in MGS are a lot cooler tho.
[QUOTE=***zer0***;24067561]The villains in MGS are a lot cooler tho.[/QUOTE] like which one ?
I'm always evil in games where I can do so, in games like Fable and Mass Effect :v:
Did someone seriously act like Kratos was a "good" character? Hahahahaha, good one.
[img]http://www3.varesenews.it/immagini_articoli/200903/Danger_Diabolik.jpg_4966.jpeg[/img] This guy made it cool to be a villain.
i think he made it gay actually
[QUOTE=blackrack;24067909]i think he made it gay actually[/QUOTE] Yes clearly because his costume isn't top brass he must be gay as fuck.
Good guys in western films are usually pretty badass. Man with no name. Anyone of the banditos he put down couldn't match him in cool :v:
What about [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100618203760/deusex/en/images/8/8e/Jensen_augs_noshades.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Anastatius;24067824]Did someone seriously act like Kratos was a "good" character? Hahahahaha, good one.[/QUOTE] People probably just think so because he's the guy the story's about. You see the main character's story from his perspective, so you sympathize with him and think of him as the good guy.

No idea how the story is gonna go on this one. [QUOTE=Stizzles;24068091]People probably just think so because he's the guy the story's about.

Mercer is the single biggest dick ever, there is nothing to sympathize with him.
used to be my favorite most badass boss [img]http://i87.servimg.com/u/f87/12/97/97/50/250px-10.png[/img]
[QUOTE=blackrack;24067626]like which one ?[/QUOTE] Are you kidding? Just look at the Cobras in MGS3. You have a sniper with a pet parrot who can become one with the forest, you have a former cosmonaut whos a pyromaniac, you have a man who can control bees and hornets who also has a motherfucking tommy gun, and you have a psychic soldier. All of them are much more unique and badass than snake, who is a badass, but isn't as badass as the villians.
[QUOTE=Stizzles;24068091]People probably just think so because he's the guy the story's about. You see the main character's story from his perspective, so you sympathize with him and think of him as the good guy.[/QUOTE] Nothing Kratos does is even close to being morally "good". I see your point though.
I like the Batman villains because instead of just saying their evil, most have a deep and dark back story that lead them to their criminal nature.

I don't like how good vs. evil stuff is so formulaic now. I like franchises that can reverse things and throw you off.

[QUOTE=blackrack;24068827] i thought he helped snake at some point with a password or something [/QUOTE] fuck i have to look this up cause i remember it was something like that i cant remember though
