So...what videogame character would you like to be?

Alex Mercer.

Virtually invincible, basically immortal, perfect shape-shifting. No character from any game has ever made me feel as powerful.
Big claws!
He's a jerk, but still.

Oh I've been waiting for someone to put up a thread like this! Anyway, here goes nothing.

Sheogorath.
The Elder Scrolls (don't know which games).
Bat insane and is even a god of insanity.
The Wabbajack! (A staff that does random things to whoever is hit by its blast)
Has a large love for cheese. Rather polite with the exception of the occasional disturbing threat/joke.

Heavy Metal Fists (feth yeah! amirite?)
I mean, its Rayman!

A Tri clan LBX AC 20 Daishi. (with a few clan LRM 20s of course)

So...what videogame character would you like to be?

Duke Nukem
Funny guy
Lives in a normal earth world
Blows up stuff regularly
Gets the babes
haha!

Or for something else.
Cloud Strife
Final Fantasy 7
Able to walk into anyones house and take stuff
Cast magic trickery
Lives in super chilled place

Captain Titus
Space Marine
Completely undefeatable. Beat a deamon prince to death with his bare hands while falling from a 5 mile high tower in the epicentre of a warp rift. Landed safely.
Knows enough about the codex for an ultramarine to be able to completely ignore it.
Storm Bolter, Lascannon, Meltagun,Power Axe and Plasma pistol. All at once.
Somehow captain of the 2nd company. Even though Sicarius is 2nd company captain. A whole new parallel world was created in 40k, just to contain Titus's awesomeness.

I LOVE this post. Pure gold.


Me?

Gordon Freeman
Half-Life series
He's got a PHD in badassery, never talks, because when you're that awesome, you don't need to have dialogue.
Crowbar or upgraded gravity gun
The first hero I ever wanted to be, the man is a legend in the video game community

-or-

Shepard
Mass Effect series
A hero in the most pure sense, he is who you make him, and he never quits. (unless, y'know, BioWare makes him...*angry eyes*)
Revenant Assault rifle
He/she can be anyone, young, old, paragon, renegade, it only matters how you play them. A true hero.

My wow shaman
World of Warcraft
Powers of the elements, reincarnation, can resurrect dead people
dragonwrath, tarecgosa's rest (copy spells and can turn into a dragon)
Hooves, horns, perfect boob to butt ratio, tail, being an immortal draenei would be sweet

The Kid
Bastion
Goddamned badass.
Brusher's Pike and cavalry carbine.
The Kid's led a hard life, supposing what he says in his sleep is true...

(character name) Leisure Suit Larry
(video game they're in) Various Leisure Suit Larry games
(reason you chose this character) No ones is trying to kill him. None of his family was kidnapped. He doesn't have to fight anyone. He just wants to get laid.

(any other info about that character) Short, balding middle-aged man with a slight gut.

Master chief
Halo 1-4
He seems to be pretty much invincible
dual-wielded SAWs
I'd let more people see my face, need the sun

My PC (a very high level wizard)

Baldur's Gate II: Lord of Murder

Because frankly, even before her apotheosis in to a goddess of justice, she was a wizard with the power to shape destiny itself.
Ninth level spells. And this being DnD, wizards are basically scientists who study magic, which is awesome.

She managed to redeem the divine essence of a dead god of murder through being such an amazingly morally upstanding and loving person. Because it's not good enough just to take his place in the pantheon, no, she had to do more than that. Sure she made a few mistakes, but hey, the end result was good.




That, or Shepard. Because Shepard.

Yeah, I'd be my commander shepard. I'd get to shoot a ton of people with a wide array of weapons so I can fulfill my inner psychotic desires. And I'd get to destroy a multimillion year old ancient race fulfilling my other inner psychotic desires. All while being praised as a hero!

And there's sleeping with aliens. That's just the cherry on top.

Donkey Kong. I'd get to chill out with my buds all the time, have parties, race karts around, go on awesome adventures...and be a super chill Gorilla that nobody can mess with.

You seem to be conflating hero and protagonist.

My Shepard was a hero in the best sense of the term.

Which, due to Shepard being little more than a tabula rasa, was equally as possible as was the opposite.

Hence pure protagonist, not pure hero.

I think you're confusing us saying "my Shepard" is a hero with the assertion that "all Shepards" are heroes. We never said that.

Name: That guy from harvest moon
Game: Harvest Moon or one of it's many sequels & spin-offs.
Reason: He has fulfilling life, and stable income in a world with none of the real economic pressures that face real world farmers.
Weapon: He doesn't need a weapon. He's living a safe life, in his nice home with his dog, his kid, his TV and his attractive wife he has sex with regularly.
Other Information: Depending on the version of the game, being with him may also including any or all of the following powers:
-Ability to stop time.
-Eternal youth.
-Never getting sick.

If you quickly reread his post it's quite clear that he is saying he admires Shepard for being an everyman figure rather than HIS shepard.

Bruce Wayne/Batman (Arkhamverse)
Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins
It's mother-fething Batman!
Fists of fury, batarang, badassery
Come on... its Batman.

Ha, beat me to it with Leisure Suit Larry!

Giovanni from Pokémon. Villain he may be, he's a Mafia boss and is awesome. Especially in the manga, where he's even more evil. He is seen to actually kill two Pokémon by freezing them into blocks of ice then shattering the ice, smashing the creatures inside. He's a black-hearted bastard with a fantastic dress sense and he never gives up. He even redeems himself slightly, by saving his son's life, before disappearing to reform another Team Rocket- the only team with any real fear factor. They were purely bad, almost no remorse.

I...I...I thought I was the only one who played that game

It is a good day

Gabriel Belmont
Castlevania Lords of Shadow
He's got an awesome outfit I plan to cosplay with some day. He brings down monsters of legend. He wields a freakin whip as a weapon and doesn't get his face murdered.
Combat Cross of course
Has an uncanny knack for always landing on his feet when getting smacked around

Unkown, referred to as Anatolia's Mercenary, player character in one game, NPC in the sequal
Armored Core 4/ For Anwser
I can pilot white glint
White fething Glint
Sole Mercenary for Anatolia, single handedly owns everyone else.
In sequal serves as both an ally or your worst fething nightmare depending on choices taken.


For reference, this is White Glint.

General Radec
Killzone 2 and 3 and possibly 4 but haven't played that yet
Even though this guy is a general still fights on the front line and even boards the enemy capital ship.
Helgast battle rifle.
He may be leader of a race trying to wipe mankind out but he's just so badass and can turn invisible.
