theacademy: Most Important Characters Of Our Generation

theacademy 01.31.10	most important = if a superior race of aliens came to earth and had their choice of any games to play, except they couldn't play pokemon, they would play these games.
SlightlyEpic 01.31.10	why would they not be able to play pokemon?
Prophet178 01.31.10	Raiden suuuucks.
PuddlesPuddles 01.31.10	Fuck yes to 8
FadeToBlack 01.31.10	- faggotry + amaterasu
iarescientists 01.31.10	daniel plainview

PanasonicYouth 01.31.10	man i thought this said most annoying characters. i was gonna flip shiiit
DiceMan 01.31.10	Master Cheif from Halo? Duh?
theacademy 01.31.10	also, @slightlyepic aliens gave us pokemon. it was the Promethean fire they gave to manboykind..
TheNewWhack 01.31.10	Stoked to see 7 on there.
theacademy 01.31.10	@musicaddiction i can't stand reality television. that's not art to me.
FadeToBlack 01.31.10	master chef is gay I repeat: amaterasu
PanasonicYouth 01.31.10	needs moar commander shepherd to be honest mass effect 2 is the fuckin tits
Titan50 01.31.10	Dr Robotnik, faggot
theacademy 01.31.10	after a cursory wikipediaing, i think amaterasu may be far too legit for me
tiesthatbind 01.31.10	We seriously need Master Chief on this list. Whether or not you are currently a fan of Halo, he needs to be on this list.
TheNewWhack 01.31.10	Niko Bellic as well. Every gamer was addicted to GTA IV for a while.
PanasonicYouth 01.31.10	halo is fer faggots
TheNewWhack 01.31.10	academy obviously owns a PS3, as do I. Thus, no gay ass Halo.
novemberain 01.31.10	How about Eagle from the Advanced Wars series.
PanasonicYouth 01.31.10	ugh i forgot link NEEDS MOAR LINK
theacademy 01.31.10	HOLY CRAP I FUCKED UP going to amend 14
theacademy 01.31.10	mcclendon i ruled out nintendo its before our generation but link totally 500% owns motherfuckers
theacademy 01.31.10	also newwhack hit me with ur psn ID bro
Foxhound 01.31.10	METAL GEAR LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prophet178 01.31.10	Masterchief is gay, he is such a one sided character. He doesn't even talk.
ShadowAmI 01.31.10	needs moar articuno
HugCrewLoveRoll 01.31.10	List is wrong! Where's Master Chief? pfff sony fanboys.
PanasonicYouth 01.31.10	sony fanboys my ass. i'm a diehard microsoft fanboy and master chief still sucks more dick than your mom on prom night
Zip 01.31.10	where the fuck is Master Chief
TheNewWhack 01.31.10	What can I say, I like blu ray and the fact that the playstation network is free. Not to mention God of War, Uncharted and MGS.
Prophet178 01.31.10	How can anyone even defend Masterchief as a good character. He's cookie cutter FPS "badass" through and through. He's probably the flattest main character in any FPS too.
PanasonicYouth 01.31.10	"He's probably the flattest main character in any FPS too." two words the marine from doom 3
Prophet178 01.31.10	Dude it's Doom. When has Doom ever had a dynamic main character. Duke Nukem > Masterchief any day.
mynameischan 01.31.10	yeah but doom 3 > halo
XulOnerom 01.31.10	Sora and Roxas suck. The KH games were fun but those two were annoying as hell. List needs Ratchet and Clank, Megaman, Chun Li, Morrigan (both DA:O and Darkstalkers), Terra Branford, Celes Chere, Dante from DMC, Donkey Kong, and the entire cast of Chrono Trigger and Valkyria Chronicles. I also second Amaterasu, and fuck Master Chief Kudos for mentioning Regina from Dino Crisis
EyesWideShut 01.31.10	Solid Snake, the man is an american hero. List is missing that dude from DOOM !!
theacademy 01.31.10	"i'm a diehard microsoft fanboy" figures.
PanasonicYouth 01.31.10	doesn't mean i don't like to branch out
Gyromania 01.31.10	You've got to be kidding me...
XulOnerom 01.31.10	You are a wise man, PanasonicYouth
PanasonicYouth 01.31.10	this i know
theacademy 01.31.10	im a sony fanboy but also a practicing nintendoist, but once my original xbox shit the bed after about a year and a half of working half the time, i was done with that shit.
PanasonicYouth 01.31.10	my original 360 only went a few months before shitting out. i still love 'em tho. dunno why.
theacademy 01.31.10	i felt like a traitor when my mom got me a playstation. i loved my 64. but when it came time to throw down my own savings, and at 13 years old, this was a HUGE deal, I went with ps2, and never looked back. SNES made me love games, PS2 let me really appreciate them.
PanasonicYouth 01.31.10	that's about the same as what happened to me 'cept i got an xbox for christmas a few years after i got my ps2 and sorta branched off from there
theacademy 01.31.10	tbh i kept some of my old xbox discs. had a few winners: jet set radio future, ssx tricky, fuzion frenzy, knights of the old republic to name a few...
Prophet178 01.31.10	Never understood fanboys. Why would you stick to one console when you can just buy them all.
FadeToBlack 01.31.10	mmm SNES, I still have mine somewhere, I wanna play Super Metroid now lol
theacademy 01.31.10	@prophet personal qualms with xbox and microsoft's practices as a game developer (especially the whole war of the exclusives) why buy an inferior version of your ps3 when you can buy something totally different in a wii. wiis3 and dsp ftw.
AnotherBrick 01.31.10	64 is the best system of allllllll time
FadeToBlack 01.31.10	buy Okami for the Wii or I will hunt you down and kill you
theacademy 01.31.10	say what you want abou tthe wii but nintendo has sure been reaping the rewards of innovative game development instead of paying developers to keep games off other platforms for a fixed period of time, cutting corners in production, charging for online, etc...
ckypro3 01.31.10	why does everybody think its cool to hate halo and master chief. that game and character could anyone's fuckin ass on this list. otherwise nice list.
XulOnerom 01.31.10	"Never understood fanboys. Why would you stick to one console when you can just buy them all." Because money doesn't grow on trees
Prophet178 01.31.10	There's advantages and disadvantages to all the systems, that's why I own them all. If I was a sony fanboy I would've missed out on so many good xbox games like Bioshock (when it was exclusive) Mass Effect, Fallout (when it was exclusive), gears, KOTOR, Splinter Cell, etc
XulOnerom 01.31.10	I agree with you, Prophet, but spending $299 just to get a few exclusives isn't something I can't afford (and to me having to pay to play with others online is a no no)
Prophet178 01.31.10	Yeah I know, I was speaking more about diehard fanboys that will not buy a system other than the one they support no matter what.
XulOnerom 01.31.10	yeah, that's fucking stupid
bloc 01.31.10	I love how none of these character actually exist.
klap 01.31.10	i was too old when halo came out for it to really have any impact on me. of course, none of the above on academy's list did either because i didn't own a psx, i'm 64 all the way. but i guess technically those are way older than me to begin with
Mordecai. 01.31.10	Joanna Dark gave me a permanent erection for 2 years.
AngelofDeath 01.31.10	Simply replace Raiden with Ocelot and add Dante from DMC. Then you have a list.
Deviant. 01.31.10	Can't really agree with Raiden. Sure he had a badass role in MGS4, but he was all kinds of wrong in Sons Of Liberty. Maybe some Altair love?
PayneTiger777 01.31.10	COMMANDER SHEPARD!!!!!
Deviant. 01.31.10	Lara Croft, more iconic than half on this list
theacademy 01.31.10	dude, unless you're pushing 40, pac man is not one of the characters of our generation...
Prophet178 01.31.10	Just like that fucking dog from Duck Hunt.
bloc 01.31.10	How I loathe that dog...
BSX 01.31.10	Nina is way better than Michelle
theacademy 01.31.10	michelle is hotter, nina is better. also all the characters got cut off... i shoulda made this list way more expansive than just 15
XulOnerom 01.31.10	I just realized list is missing Big Boss/Naked Snake, but since you gave love to Dino Crisis (one of the most underappreciated games ever) I forgive you
BallsToTheWall 01.31.10	Needs moar Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Wei, Ma Chao, Zhang Liao, and Yoshomitu from fucking Tekken.
theacademy 01.31.10	had naked snake in earlier but switched him out i forgot for whom. yeah this list is a failure because i didn't account for just how awesome the playstation universe is. also, needs moar sackboy
Chewie 02.02.10	needs Ratchet and Clank, Parrapa Tha Rappa, Spyro the Dragon, Banjo and Kazooie,(granted that we're counting N64 games, which we should if characters from PS1 are allowed) Snake, Jak and Daxter, Crash Bandicoot and Kratos are all legit though.
Electric City 02.19.10	the fact that raiden and roxas are even on this list is proof enough you haven't played enough games to make a list like this
Phantom 02.19.10	123333333333
taroo 02.19.10	Cast of FF VII wouldn't be here without the Cast of VI... which owns VII face off. Sepiroth is a pansy comapred to Kefka. List also need Reimu and Marisa from Touhou
Ire 02.19.10	master chief? lol moar like master queef
theacademy 02.19.10	lol @ electric six on my list. gtfo and come back when u grow some pubes.
crazyblinddude 02.20.10	list needs more gordan freeman
