Like one with an excellent character arc, character development, character interactions, personality, revelation, internal conflict, insecurities and fate?
The greatest videogame character in my opinion is Cloud Strife. He was an arrogant First Class Soldier who turned out to be just a beta male Shinra grunt trying to impress his neighbor.
But when you look at female characters that people consider great (Tifa, Chun-Li, Samus, Lara Croft, etc.), they have absolutely no personality, no character development, no character arc, no meaningful dialogue (if they have dialogue at all), etc., they are objectively trash as characters and are only liked as fap material.
>Tifa >No personality >No character development >No meaningful dialogue Fuck you, she's more than just a pair of magnificent (now ruined) tits, and if you couldn't see that you're an idiot.

Is there such a thing as a great male character? Cloud is probably a better male character but he's not really that good. He doesn't really have much of a character arc himself that happens during the actual course of the story and he's mostly quite dull.
Lara is bland and if anything going on with her can be called development then it's rather weak

I want her to wipe my memories and do lewd things to me

I do love a great female character with two big character arcs and a lot of plot.
Brayden Collins
She’s badass and all but calling her a great character is a stretch.

>probably the most iconic vidya girl ever >bland Pick one. >if anything going on with her can be called development then it's rather weak She's already fully developed at the start of the first game, she's a mature woman in her early thirties who has been adventuring for a decade. Her character is static, yes, but it's not a teenage drama with some conflict in it, but rather action/adventure games. It seems you just imply by "great" actually "deep" characters.
>the most iconic vidya girl ever Lol calm down. All she was is a sex symbol in game magazines. None of it was about her character

Suikoden doesn't count. Those games are above and beyond everything else.

Kreia, KoTOR2. If you want to find well written characters just look inside well written games.
Iconic doesn't mean deep. Sure, she was written as being well educated, strong willed, etc, in the manual (and thereby books), but none of that mattered in the game outside skipable cut scenes that didn't matter. Game-wise, she didn't develop as a character until Legends.

What? Women have absolutely no soul
Landon Bailey
That's not character development or proof of personality in-game. That's a backstory from a game manual/back of box.
Andrew Wilson
And that's a good thing if you ask me. All this family drama doesn't suit her one bit.
And legs. Don't forget those long, beautiful legs! Needed wider hips like Aerith, though. She looks like she could feed a litter but giving birth to just one pigorc would break her.
This game was shit and Samus still shows her personality in the other games too, especially Fusion and Prime 3.
Just because you're an hyperactive child who can't follow a story/character without being directly fed with plot in cutscenes, it doesn't mean the character isn't written.
I don't think I've ever hated a video game character more than her, and I think that's a credit to the story of Nocturne.
David Young
If I wanted to demonstrate that Samus has personality I wouldn't point at that mess. With a few exceptions where she talks/narrates, Samus shows who she is by body language and actions alone.
Henry Stewart
damn, those are some nice titties...

How does any of that make the gameplay better? If you define a good/bad character on story instead of gameplay, then just read a book, this has nothing to do with games.
Lucas Peterson
because this console gen shows, gameplay is the last thing on anyone's minds.

I could make a list of female characters I consider to be good, but all are from literature and cinema. I'd rather not list them here in fear of the manchildren and their bottomfeeders stealing my identity in their Youtube thumbnails for years to come.
