If we have a topic about the best characters, it is only fair to have a topic about the worst of the worst as well.
Those annoying, characters that ruined the story, that always got in your way, and you wished you could just put them out of their misery.
And what's better to start with, than a with a case where your main character is the worst? There is nothing more annoying than that.
Max Payne - Max Payne 3 (The real fall of Max Payne)
You're probably thinking this iconic character should be among the best of the best, and you'd be right, if we only looked at the first two games. But the third simply shattered all images of greatness. Rockstar turned Max Payne into a self pitying, worthless, suicidal drunkard. It's a caricature at best and a complete failure at worst. If I was a conspiracy theorist I'd say they did it on purpose so they don't have an in-house competitor for gta.
And while we're talking about GTA:
Every damn playable character in modern GTA games.
Just admit it, they're all uninspired, dull, or annoying, and probably more than one of those at the same time. Their motivations are unclear, their actions unjustified, and unexplained. Or badly explained. That bill easily fits niko bellic, as well as all three characters in gtav. Oh and I Forgot the worst part of them: they are all completely unrelatable.
Jason - Far Cry 3
If Vaas is one of the best villains ever, then Jason has to be mentioned as one of the worst protagonists ever. The end of the game certainly didn't help matters, but the character is completely unrelatable anyway. Spoiled brat turns rambo in the course of a day and wages a guerilla war against well trained well equipped soldiers. Yeah - right.
Rahm Kota - Force Unleashed 2
If there was ever a better personification of annoyance then this is it. The character's sole purpose in the game is to annoy the player by shouting mission goals to him, during the entire damn garbage game. And start complaining if for 1 second you dare not go directly towards the goal in the shortest possible line.
Whoever Bioshock Infinite
I don't want to write spoilers, but if you played the game you know what I'm talking about. It makes zero sense and I hate the guts of it.
Fenris - Dragon Age 2
The local emo, enough said
Jonah - Tomb Raider / Rise of.
Born looser, and a fool. Always doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, and not doing the right thing for any reason. The type of guy that should stay away from adventure.
That's all for starters.
