If you could be any video game character, whom would you be?

Cats.

You have no chance to survive make your time.

J.C. Denton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JC_Denton).

If I were actually capable of being a rogue authority-fighting little-guy defending gun toting badass, his would so totally be my style. :D

The possibility of becoming the tool of an AI bent on world domination is, however, deeply unsettling.

(and now part three (http://www.deusex3.com/).... :eek:)

EDIT: I'd also choose Jake Logan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachyon:_The_Fringe), who is also a rogue authority-fighting little-guy defending gun toting badass, only funnier and voiced by Bruce Campbell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Campbell).

I wonder how many will say 'Master Chief'?

Well, let's see...

'Master Chief'?

or worse Shadow the Hedgehog.

You freaks are out there, I can SENSE it.

If I had to choose one, I would (tentatively) choose Crono from Chrono Trigger, though I may change my mind at some point.

Lucca Ashtear.

Tommy Vercetti? :p

Lucca Ashtear.

lol, that'd make us best friends, wouldn't it? :p

Cj. From Gta San Anderis

Probably Yuri from C&C Red Alert 2. That or Kane from C&C3. I like the sort of nature they both share.

Christopher Stone from Freedom Fighters (If they just had an Xbox live version or a pc version it would have just made it one of the best for me).

Pac Man. Because constantly popping pills and occasionally snacking on fruit while running from ghosts in your past is a way of life.

Tommy from GTA Vice City.

I'm already a lazy white guy living in Florida, I got a good headstart.

Rasul ibn Fajr...aka my b.a. Imperial from Oblivion. :D

Slippy from the Starfox series...






He's on your tail! Do a barrel role!

GORDON FREEMAN! :)
Or maybe Link. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f196/zingtea/__SQUADALAH___emoticon_avatar_by_zi.gif

I choose Gorden Freeman from Half Life 2 :D

I'd rather be the player. Then all you game character people would have to follow my keyboard/mouse/gamepad controls. :p

Arin Sardoras (my Nord; yes, I understand that's not quite a Nord name, but he's a bit more complex than that) will heartily kick your Imperial's ass.

Unless you're several levels above him. But he'll still put up a damn good fight.

I am only a level 28. :( Been playing about 40 hours roughly, just doing some misc quests and stuff. I need to start leveling up more.

I don't play video games, but I'd have to say the super badguy from Mass Effect, because we have the same given name. It amuses my bf to no end. :D

After playing Chrono Cross, why the hell would anyone want to be Crono or Lucca? That's like saying you want to be Aeris. :P

I can't think of a character I'd like to be, but I'd love to be best friends with Mary and Shelley from Xenosaga. :D

Chrono Trigger > Chrono Cross.

Don't get me wrong, Chrono Cross was a fine, fine game, but it paled miserably in comparison to the original.

Companion Cube. Because, well, I'm everyone's favorite cube.

Demyx from KHII is pretty dope. Dance Water Dance!

Most likely Gaz from CoD:4(his "Bloody outrageous mate!" was a total win for me)

or:

Young Ocelot. I love the fact the guy wore spurs yet rode a motorcycle. And I thought when he got run "over" by Eva that that was the best receiving of an ass kicking ever.

My Character from Oblivion is named Red Scare and she's a Dark Elf Archer lvl 42. I dislike the how you level but I love that you can kill almost anything and it has a certain outcome in the game(like people won't talk to you)

I am only a level 28. :( Been playing about 40 hours roughly, just doing some misc quests and stuff. I need to start leveling up more.

You don't get 'good' in Oblivion by leveling up quickly with your major skills. What you need to do is focus on your minor skills and then your major ones so that when you do level up the stats you need are +5.

That being said, I would love to be my Paladin in Oblivion!

Its gotta be link for Twilight Princess


Mostly for the clawshot, but also for the truning into wolf stuff.

I'd love to be Firana, my blood elf warlock, cause making people run in fear while they slowly get broiled to death is just my cup-o-tea

Or CJ from Los Santos, not paying for cars is good, mkay

Knight. Gabriel Knight.

Slippy from the Starfox series...

Badawup Stay in formation!

I would go for Revan from Kotor for the galaxy changing Jedi powers.

I am only a level 28. :( Been playing about 40 hours roughly, just doing some misc quests and stuff. I need to start leveling up more.

Bah, you're over ten levels above mine.

so hard to decide. Samus Aran is oretty much badass. I'd be able to transform into a morph ball and leave bombs and power bombs. I'd have a kickass arm cannon that could shoot a variety of energy-based shots and missiles. Plus, the ship. It's almost always unarmed because armed ships are for fighter pilots and pussies who need their ship to help them.

Fox McCloud also has that badass thing going on, though Namco's and Q-games' takes on the franchise has diminished his badassness. I would have done things differently in Command and Adventures. In Command, I would have focused on my job. Wouldn't have worried about Krystal. I'm a badass fighter pilot, dammit. If she dies in combat, it's a space viking funeral, not the uber-femenine cry-fest accompanied by chocolate ice cream I'm sure he would have done. Mating is only for keeping the fighter population from going into extinction, not love.

As for Adventures, screw General Pepper. I'm on a freak'n planet filled with freak'n dinos. There are going to be t-rexes and all that shit. I'm bringing my guns. And screw the planet. I'm rescuing the girl so that I'd have something to do off-duty ;) and, again, fighter population and such.


Then there's Link. Heroic badass as a kid. Not just in adulthood, but also childhood. I'd like to see a 10-year old Master Chief save the world when the freak'n moon is slowly crashing into it. Then, there's the wolf thing. Wolf=awesome. 'nuff said.

Nintendo fan and damn proud of it. Don't need no easy wuss games you kids play nowadays. When the NES and SNES aren't on, I'm playing F-Zero GX on mah Wii. That's right. One of the top ten hardest games ever made.

I love how Link turns into like... a gay wolf pirate.

Also, why do all these people want to be wolves. They lick their own testi- I see. Wolves for everyone!

I'm Captain Basch von Ronsenberg of Dalmasca!

Don't listen to Ondore's lies!

Basch Lives!

I guess I'd be Gordon Freeman or the main dude in Fable... ???Main dude??? Well it's hard to decide...:D

Byzantine Emperor Justinian I
(As in complete version of Civilization IV)

Probably Yuri from C&C Red Alert 2. That or Kane from C&C3. I like the sort of nature they both share.

Aside from having membership in the same local chapter of Bald Megalomaniacs With Magnetic Personalities Association?

"Masterchief, evil bad bad heretic, kill kill!" -Some Grunt
Thats right, I want to be a grunt.

probably Revan from Star Wars KOTOR
that or the Exile from KOTOR: II

Generic Male NPC #23

You know, the one you always see in the background, just walking around, not doing anything. Typically in those safe areas where you know nothing will happen. Generic Male NPC #23 is notable because in most games, in these settings, the main character, despite toting all sorts of weaponry and gadgets and whatnot, cannot harm Generic Male NPC #23. Even with a point-blank shotgun blast. In most games, the most that will happen is he shall cower, maybe even run, but there will be no actual damage. And if you happen to be playing a game where you CAN hurt NPCs on your side, well, Generic Male NPC #23 has infinite lives and respawns every time you revisit the area.

I'm invincible bitch. No game overs for me. I can lay the beats to ANY video game character.

Right Pong Paddle. Failing that, the last Space Invader.

My druid in Achaea, since the game is a MUD I've been able to roleplay that character just the way I want to and he lives in a nice forest commune.

To pick a non custom character I'll go for Duke Nukem, the ultimate badass or Serious Sam, slightly less badass but also slightly more humorous.

The character players have to look after on an escort mission. I could behave like a complete moron all the time and somebody else would suffer the consequences.

Rikku, from FFX and FFX-2 or Etna, from Disgaea. They rocked!

Rikku
http://www.specusphere.com/joomla/images/reviews/games/156rikku.jpg

Etna
http://images.minitokyo.net:8001/view/180757.jpg

I think I want to be Agrias, from Final Fantasy Tactics. I don't know, I think she rocked, although I'm not fond of blondes.

Sniper Wolf rocks too, but I wouldn't like to get killed like that.

One of those two, for sure.

Franziska van Karma... from the Phoenix Wright series. :D

http://www.weaselhut.net/franzisks.jpg

Knight. Gabriel Knight.

An excellent choice.

Zeratul from Starcraft, failing that, Smoke from Mortal Combat III

The Original Super Mario. Go save the princess, eat a bunch of mushrooms and magic flowers, and stomp some kumpas. Worse comes to worse, your head can smash through bricks, and pick up a ton of cash :)

Gordon Freeman. No question.

Mario because i love headbutting myself on bricks.

Demyx from KHII is pretty dope. Dance Water Dance!



NO! NEVER SAY THAT AGAIN! I still have nightmares about fighting Data Demyx at level one on Critical in KH II: FM+...so CHEAP! :(

Mario, hero of the working class. (http://terminal71.com/flash/mario.php)

ahh, this old game has been fun ever since Mario, Link, and Samus showed us that there could be more to video games than simply finding out how many points you could rack up.

If I had to pick one (and I know this changes with the times), I would pick the (male) protagonist from Baldur's Gate II!

Heck yes, having the god of murder as your dad? coolest dad EVER! Think of the parent's day presentations in elementary school that that guy could put on! "ohh...that's nice, your dad's the sales manager for a company that sells plumbing accessories? Well my dad's the God of murder." You'd be the coolest kid in school!

How about rubbing elbows with Drizzt Do'urden? Most convincingly badass character in the fantasy genre! Or even better...kicking his sorry ass in a stand up fight!

Transforming into the Slayer? You'd never have problems getting your kids in bed again! Heck, the Slayer made a freaking Vampire crap her pants!

Getting to pick the cheesiest, most unbalanced, and strongest class combination in the history of DnD? (Kensai/Wizard multiclass) Hey, I fight to win.

Getting to watch three ultra-hot elven vixens viciously fighting amongst one another in a desperate attempt to court you? Someone get me some popcorn!

Having Minsc for a travelling companion? You'd never be bored again!

Yeah... he definitly had it going on.

i wouldn't want to be a video game character, it'd be too easy for someone to switch me off.

i wouldn't want to be a video game character, it'd be too easy for someone to switch me off.
It's the turning me on at the press of a button that would worry me.

Pac Man. Because constantly popping pills and occasionally snacking on fruit while running from ghosts in your past is a way of life.
Ms Pacman for me!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA1PY8YVk7I

Original Samus Aran would also be right up there.

Also a moogle.



My boyfriend says I'd be Kirby. He's probably right.

Milon from Milon's Secret Castle.

Mario because i love headbutting myself on bricks.

He raises up his arm and punches the bricks. Ronald McDonald hits them with his head.

Mr. 47, have you seen how much money he makes after every hit!?

Mario, hero of the working class. (http://terminal71.com/flash/mario.php)

Thats how Mario would have turned out if Andaras was making it.

Mehehe. So it's not just me who does that.

My Paladin in EverQuest II

:P


(Was that geek enough?)

Companion Cube. Because, well, I'm everyone's favorite cube.

Demyx from KHII is pretty dope. Dance Water Dance!

Most likely Gaz from CoD:4(his "Bloody outrageous mate!" was a total win for me)

Wait....if u want to be Gaz....You do know that he gets shot in the head by zakheav (or however you spell it) at the end of the game.
So basicly you would like to die.
I can help you there :sniper::cool:

Solid Snake or Kratos

Mario because i love headbutting myself on bricks.

He actually breaks them with his fists.

My Paladin in EverQuest II
rather my Ranger in Everquest.

El Cid form Medieval total War

I'm a total weirdo

I'd be either either Barney from Halflife/Halflife2...or...........



The pyro from Team fortress 2


Bwwwwaaahahahhahahahahahahhaha

See video for details
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B6KIfV1AS4

Gohan :p

Commander Shephard

JC Denton's a good one.

Dr. Gordon Freeman, too. He kicks arse and has a PhD level education.

Link's another.

Not a leming. One of the few games to feature suicide bombings.

Franziska van Karma... from the Phoenix Wright series. :D

"To Jenny I leave... A BOOT TO THE HEAD!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFldBVWFgWo

The unnamed cyborg from Marathon.

Played that on my ancient Mac PowerPC!

Sephiroth.

For no other reason than women find him inexplicably hot.

Thats how Mario would have turned out if Andaras was making it.Still hilarious as hell! =D

Sephiroth.

For no other reason than women find him inexplicably hot.

Less women and more wapanese teenage girls. But whatever floats your boat ;)

I'd also go for my Oblivion character. a Wood elf Listener of the dark brotherhood with the sneak skill on 90, and archery on 70.
oh and... hand to hand on 18 :D

Sephiroth.

For no other reason than women find him inexplicably hot.
Sephiroth is the polar opposite of hot. In addition to his darkity-dark-dark emo personality, he's also clearly a very high-maintenance guy (just look at his hair). I will never be interested in a man who uses more conditioner than I do.

Wait....if u want to be Gaz....You do know that he gets shot in the head by zakheav (or however you spell it) at the end of the game.

I can help you there :sniper::cool: Yeah, but Gaz is too fricken awesome to care. "I keep this for close encounters".

and thank you to whoever said Kratos. I was starting to worry.

I submit Bottle as evidence for my previous statement.

http://bobbincranbud.com/parlor/hyuinoval.png

Doc from Xenogears. An highly intellectual kung fu master.

Nobunaga from Nobunaga's Ambition.

For fictional characters, I pick Jake Armitage.

Rikku, from FFX and FFX-2 or Etna, from Disgaea. They rocked!
*snip

But they dress like typical comic-book characters...or like typical strippers.

Not a leming. One of the few games to feature suicide bombings.

There are others....
http://www.peterhe.com/pcgameimage/Worms_3D/screenshot2.jpg

Captain Quark from Ratchet and Clank.:)

rather my Ranger in Everquest.

RANGER DOWN!


Vincent from FF7, I think he's interesting, even if he was pretty useless.

There are others....
http://www.peterhe.com/pcgameimage/Worms_3D/screenshot2.jpg

Yes though Boggy B would be doing it for patriotic reasons not migrational ones:)

(can't believe I forgot worms. Good point there)

Most likely Gaz from CoD:4

I'd agree but he dies. Other than him ehos okay, I really don't know.

You coul be a real person if you take someone out of a Madden/FIFA/NBA/MLB franchise.

Baz from Citizen Kabuto.

I'd be Tetris. You know, from Tetris. :)

probably Revan from Star Wars KOTOR
that or the Exile from KOTOR: II

Definitely Revan.

Or maybe Sarevok.

"To Jenny I leave... A BOOT TO THE HEAD!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFldBVWFgWo

That video made me laugh the first time I saw it... and the second... and the third... but the forth? I can't laugh at Phoenix... not after what a loser he becomes in Apollo Justice.

Hiro from Lunar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_%28series%29), or maybe Alex... or Ghaleon! Second would have to be Dante from DMC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil_May_Cry_%28series%29). Third is Fei from Xenogears (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenogears).

HM: Justin, Zidane, Squall and a whole bunch of others.

Probably Turok from "Turok: dinosaur hunter", 'cuz then I'd get to play with 2 very cool superweapons from that game. :D

It would be pretty cool to be Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series.

It would be pretty cool to be Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series.

Hiding in boxes FTW.

Easy: The little prince from Katamari Damacy :)

Whacky is so much more fun :D

Mastor Cheef!

The Vault Dweller!
First saving his vault from a dry death by braving the post-apocalyptic wasteland that is known as earth, and later wrestling with mutants and NUKING A FRIGGIN' CATHEDRAL.
He was too good for his vault anyway, god rest his soul...

Jack from BioShock is pretty sweet. Steam Punk is pretty awesome. Not to mention fire at the snap of a finger... sweet.

A difficult choice. Geralt de Rivia is awesome, and would be an excellent choice, but Oda Nobunaga from Shogun: Total War was a beast. I can't remember exactly how many stars he got, but it was over a hundred. I would probably go for Link in the end.

Edit: Actually, I might go for the god from Black and White (do not dare mention black and white 2).

I want to be the player of the video game that you all are in, so you could all be my puppets.

Solid Snake, without a doubt.

OR

Amaterasu from Okami.

I'd be Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes.

Sephiroth, ExDeath, Kuja, Seymour, Kefka, The FF villains were always my top choice. Kefka actually becomes God at the end because he absorbed the powers of the three goddesses.
*snip*


Which FF final Boss does NOT become some kind of god?

Sephiroth, ExDeath, Kuja, Seymour, Kefka, The FF villains were always my top choice. Kefka actually becomes God at the end because he absorbed the powers of the three goddesses.

Then again, one of my favorites came from Xenogears.
Name? Names are unimportant, but if you must have a name, ......ID.....

Id, and Grafh the Destroyer were my two favorite characters from that game.

Cleary I have issues, but I enjoy them alot. Besides, if not for us Villains, you heroes would become nothing more than insignificant nobodies in history. You should thank us for making your lives worth something.

The ghost that looked like Tidus on FFXII. He just controls Weapon, but doesn´t achieve a God-status.

...and who thought fighting a ghost would be hard? Too bad I didn't yet play that one.

Sephiroth, ExDeath, Kuja, Seymour, Kefka, The FF villains were always my top choice.

Kuja, from FFIX rocks. Good choice there.:)

Which FF final Boss does NOT become some kind of god?

good point, Exdeath gained control over The Void, which was in the Cleft of Dimension, I thought that was cool, just opening a hole in creation and making a whole town disappear?

Then again, there's Ultimecia, who compressed all of time itself to single moment, the now. If that's not godhood, what is?

Sephiroth absorbed he powers of the planet and flung a giant flaming unstoppable meteor of doom at the world, AND blew up the sun.

The ghost that looked like Tidus on FFXII. He just controls Weapon, but doesn´t achieve a God-status.

...and who thought fighting a ghost would be hard? Too bad I didn't yet play that one.

Beats me. Ask the creators.:D And it isn´t hard to fight it, true. Specially if you have the girds for the Tomberry, Moogle and Cacti garments.
