>Every Male Protagonist (Except Red) – Pokemon Series

Because the female protagonists are just as compelling now????
Is it because they're female?

Because they have personalities that manifest themselves through gameplay?

Because Red appeared in more than one game

because it's RED from KANTOOOOOO, OMG, MY CHILDHOOD IS BACK.

>sam fisher

Fuck you.

The final scene with Aiden Pierce and the old guy in his panic room was kino as fuck though. That alone made him an actual good character.

>master chef
Of course he’s boring, he’s meant to be a self insert.

>Jonathan Goldstein
>is (((white)))

>couldnt even be assed to count to ten
game journalists are fucking pathetic

and he still has no personality in any of the other games he appears in. so how is he not boring?

You could use that excuse for every protagonist

I liked Desmond. Called the Assassins on their bullshit. His death ruined the series (save for Black Flag).

Link is a bootleg Peter Pan, but Mario is actually a very interesting character, it is strange that he is so beloved despite his bizarre concept.

Master Chief's may be a man of little words but that's just because most of the time he's busy thinking up bad ass one liners. Besides, he talks enough in cutscenes.

Do people get paid for writing articles like this?
Its like a 12 year old wrote this and she is also too dumb to explain why she thinks that these characters are boring holy fuck, i guess they are not hollywoodey enough for her

Look at Duke Nukem, he's also fighting to save the universe but he's constantly making quips and one-liners, that's how all shooter men should be.

again, one is a highly disciplined soldier and one is a frat boy with a gun

Aiden Pearce is more annoying and fucking retarded than boring.

hey grandpa, i need money can you give me some?

The pokemon one makes no sense, all the males except red? They do know all the protags are literal self inserts, silent protags that don't talk and nothing changes regardless of gender?
This is just clickbait horseshit isn't it.

what, no Booker from Bioshock Infinite?

The frat boy is far more entertaining, that's what's important.

My cop dad, before he retired, arrested an entire family of drug dealers named after birds using ghetto black speak (Sparoh, Hahk, Falkhan, and Pijan), a woman named Shithead (pronounced Shah-theed), a woman named La-a (LaDasha), and a male drug dealer named Caligula. All of these were their birth names. This was in the 90s/early aughts. Blacks don't understand the concept of naming.

Because they unlike everyone else on that list besides the Pokemon characters, Mario and Link don't really present the pretense of being complex and interesting. Everyone else does but just ends up being generic antihero.

Mario is the guy that wahoos while you collect coins and stars.

>>When MC is basically a rule 63 of Samus but with more of a personality

Samus has more personality than MC from Metroid Fusion alone.

Don't really see the point of putting Captain King on here. He was intended to be a blank slate self insert character, same as Doomguy. In the original games he has no dialogue that doesn't consist of dry one-liners inside cutscenes, and no regular dialogue at all. It wasn't until 343 came along that anybody tried to make him "human" and "relatable", and nobody gives a fuck about 343 Halo anyways.

Attached: 651.png (853x477, 435K)

Yeah & that's why he's boring.

Then include Doomguy and Gordon Freeman and Adrian Shephard and Chell and any other character that's a complete blank slate. There's hundreds of them. Or don't include any at all, because it's a given that they're boring.

>The male protagonist is boring, but the female is great!
>They have the exact same dialogue and absolutely no personality

This is when you know they're just a faggot. I remember Fates and I played through Conquest as male Corrin and posting in a thread how awful a character he was. A bunch of wiafufags told me to play as Fem Corrin instead and I got interested thinking she had alternate dialogue. Turns out she doesn't and it was just a bunch of horny feetfags defending their waifu.

What does Assassin Creed/Animal Crossing has anything to do with what I just said?

Chief has 5 games showing off his personality, Samus has 2 with one of them being Other M. No matter how bad they did Chief in 5, his character wasn't nearly as raped as Samus in Other M

>Kat
Wait, Gravity Rush's Kat? I mean fuck the site but it feels kinda nice to have her included in a list like that.

Master Chief is more overrated then all of those characters, Nobody actually cares about Doom outside of Yea Forums so it's impossible for it to be overrated

Your pic is wrong, you can an hero to die by school shooter as the school shooter.

It's not hard to see why people like Samus more.

It's popular among niche but extremely hardcore gaming forums, but irrelevant everywhere else. It's not even in Steam's Top 100 games despite multiple Touhou games & Postal making it. That wouldn't happen if Doom was popular

Yea Forums is now a place for retards to get angry at random internet posts that aren't even on Yea Forums.
This is what happens when you feed twitterfag threads.

Yes ye syes, everything is irrelevant outsid eof Yea Forums

Anything that Yea Forums likes is only circlejerked out of contrarianism due to being significantly less popular than it's counterparts

She's literally the female Master Chief that every thought was a robot since she has the personality of a brick. If she's the best character than Chief's the best character, if Chief's boring then she's boring. Stop trying to turn this into a console war, Sony faggot.

Does ACfag even say Xcuck?

So nerds can get triggered by someone not having the same taste as them.

You don't understand the concept of a surname, apparently.

Chief has more personality over Samus from Halo 4 alone. When they tried to expand further on Samus they ruined her character so bad they had to 180 in SR and rework how they would make her speak in the future planning to never make another Other M again.

Kill yourself ACfag

so you agree on that Samus is a shit non character even if her games are good.

Master Chief is only "boring" because he is a classic hero from a bygone era of shooters that still exists to this day.

Metroid needs to fix itself as well a remake doesn't fix a series Samus will talk again in Metroid 5, let's hope it's more like Fusion and nothing like Other M.

5 was a dumpster fire and i don't have too much faith in infinite being more than decent

Attached: halo 5 is gay.jpg (1920x1080, 214K)

This, we need to go back.

I think both Chief and Samus have the personality of a wet sponge.

4 is way worse then 5.

4 has a meh single player and shit MP and a forge that's a step vback from reach

5 has a meh single player and actually solid MP and the best forge in the series

Halo 4 has a far better campaign than Halo 5 and campaign is what matters the most in Halo, no good campaign and does the rest really matter?

That's why they're perfect for each other.

>no good campaign and does the rest really matter
Yes, very much so.
Do you not have any friends?

That's the thing
Halo Co-op mode > Multiplayer > Single player
This is non-negotiable, also the reason 5 sucks ass

At least his actions have a lasting impact on future games in the series. Every other pokemon PC has their achievements ignored or handwaved and fades into irrelevance after their game. Red and Blue stuck around to make sure the world remembers them.

I liked this scene for all its worth
youtube.com/watch?v=WKryvDPoJf8

No, you.

So it's basically virtue signalling to include her on the list, in other words? Halo wipes the floor with the Metroid games by the way.

It really doesn't, Halo campaign is the bread and butter, it doesn't really matter how good the multiplayer is if the campaign is shit.

Halo 5's campaign probably wouldn't have been so bad if Brian Reed would have just swallowed his pride and just focused on Master Chief but he really wanted to push his Spartan IVs.

If Halo 5`s campaign didn't end on a shitty cliffhanger I might be willing to say it was a 6.5 or a solid 7/10 at best

Agreed

Some of these are fair, like Aiden and Desmond. I don't think Chief is either the best or the worst and Sam is actually pretty decent.

I'd say it seems like the key difference is that this list isn't based on personality, but rather on how iconic they are. However, they put The fucking Boss at 4 above Snake, who is both a better character and a more iconic character, so maybe I'm wrong.
