Video game characters that annoy you for no real reason
- Thread starter Septimus Prime
- Start date
Dante, DMC5.
The creeper face, bad hair, the nose and mouth. Actually, most of the character designs in DMC5 are off-putting.
Anyway, I have to go with Bayonetta.
I can't say why, but almost everything about her irritates me.
not sure that i'm following you...
(mine was a joke, a lame one lol)
Wish I could tell you why, but I can't I see Toad and I just get annoyed at his presence and I cannot give you any valid reason why.
"people who annoy you", lol
That's because "THE NANOMACHINES WERE HOLDING BACK MY CANCER"

FF7 Cloud. Coming off the characters in Chrono Trigger and FFVI, I thought most of the playables in FVII were a bit of a drag. Cloud isn't the WORST of them, but I think he's the most disappointing since he's the main character. I always thought he was just... boring? Bland? Mostly reactive? I don't know how to describe it and it's been a long time since I've played through the game. But I recall feeling at the time that he was a character around which events happened, and that he wasn't driving the action much at all.
Thought of another one. Shuichi from Danganronpa V3.
I hate him for reasons that have nothing to do with his actual personality or actions.
It's not remotely fair to his character but I still hate him.

I'm perplexed you actually remembered and spelled all their names perfectly except for Olette. It's like, they are always mentioned together, you can't really memorize them by themselves lmao.
Please state the game and character. I have no idea who that is.
LMAO!! Well he's got the pizza pans on his elbows and pizza cutter to go along with it! Is he wearing soggy high heel shoes? This character is a mess.
Luso Clemens from Final Fantasy Tactics A2. Actually I don't mind him in the game, what bothers me is this particular artwork. I think my biggest grip is that the book around his leg (the eponymous Grimoire of the Rift) looks like some pizza.
Nah, I agree with you. She's annoying. I don't like how the others characters treat her as some sort of leader when she doesn't do shit half the time. A slick design is all she has.Gonna get some crap for this buuuuuttttt.
Makoto from Persona 5 bugs me. She's not a terrible character by any means but I just don't like her or understand her massive fandom.
Any escortee in a Escort Mission. AC7 had a general who would fucking stop his car in front of a tank pretty far out of the way on an interpass and he'd just sit there and let himself die unless you destroyed them.
I don't care how likeable a character is, once they become an escortee it's not hard to make me hate them, especially if the mission is a major pain in the ass.
EDIT: Ah yeah best example was El Pulpo in ghost recon wildlands. Armored SUV? His AI LOVES taking something unarmored like a bike, and his AI will gladly run towards the enemies and get shot instead of towards the goal he has to reach, and when his vehicle has taken light damage, he'll gladly jump out in front of your vehicle and get himself pancaked. It took me and my friends 3 days of trying to get past it lol.
The worst part is at one point he walks across some train tracks, and the train itself is always moving across the map, so if you're especially unlucky he'll get ran over by the train and die and there's nothing you can really do about it.
When he got killed at the end of the mission I cheered. Dude wished for death, and it found him.

I mean there is a reason, but it's pretty much just how I read their lines vs. how they're intended to be read so I'm still counting it.
I feel like he gets a lot of hate for little reason.Thought of another one. Shuichi from Danganronpa V3.

If this is because of Kaede, really she wouldnt have been as good as she was unless the 1st twist happened. Kaede was a more tolerable "hope" trope in the vein of Makoto, Shuichi was a much more dynamic character, better than the other main ones in the series imo
lmao, nah, they just come off as annoyingly insecure and conceited to me. Like they assume because they've got the bare bones basics of Pokemon down from having trainer parents, that they'll be the best at battling out of all of us. Then, when they lose they keep pushing the envelope and basically don't let any of the other 'rivals' even get a word in. Topping it all off, (and this is more ludonarrative dissonance from how piss-easy X/Y is,) they always act like they had even a fraction of a chance after you thoroughly stomp them REPEATEDLY throughout the game. They just kinda come off as an asshole who doesn't know how to admit they're not the best at something.
Funnily enough, when I did face the other rivals at the tail end of the game, pretty much all of them put me in a worse position then she did. I mean, it wasn't close to be bad, but they still got me in some parts.
I said it wasn't fair didn't I? He'll forever be the symbol of what made me drop this franchise regardless of his actual character.
I know it's not logical but I just won't like him.

ehh, I still think everyone being as upset as they were just showed how good writing it had in that space and they knew when to cut it off. If they didnt do it, they would have to rewrite her whole character to be beyond that hope note, she worked because they showed restraint and pretty much made her a reverse of Junko. I honestly dont think people would love her like they do if she had gone through because she would literally be Makoto whom most people dont really like all that much apparently, though I guess we will never know
I get why people got mad, but really that just shows how good it was

I agree the cast of 7 wasn't very likable for me. I liked red xiii and tifa mostly and that's it. Same problem I have with final fantasy 8 and chrono cross. I don't like 90% of the main cast in ff8 and most of the characters in cc were boring or obnoxious with a few standouts. Throw xenoblade 2 in as well where I disliked most of the main characters for what little I played so I just dropped it.
Well first off I like Makoto(funny to say considering my first post in this thread).
Second I was more upset that a female protagonist got replaced by a dude. Had Saihara been a woman I wouldn't be upset.
Third I don't consider something that makes me drop a series I used to like "good" but I admit that almost all my personal hang ups.

"Everyone being upset shows it's good writing" sure is a hot take.
I was referring that they were written well to the character, not really the situation. I dont think there was any denying people were attached to the character for one reason or another
Ya, I mean I understand it, I just think a lot of it is the surrounding context than the characters themselves.
OP

Hayner is easy to remember because they always say his name first, and Pence is easy to remember because he shares a name with the burning bag of shit left on the White House stoop. I've already tuned out by the time they say Olette.
godsh I will give you that Morag and her little brother interact totally normal in the game
But I think Morag the mighty lady is under no one's command but a little boy is up to satisfy some sick fetish.
"Oh hey, though you are mighty and cool, nevertheless you must listen to me, a little boy, because I am not just your sibling but your emperor, wahahah"
I feel this kind of character design and relationship is up to something sick
You may call me toxic to think that way. But hey this is the thread hating characters for no reason.
Okay, I remembered one I hate irrationally:
Shuichi Saihara from Danganronpa V3
Shuichi Saihara from Danganronpa V3
His actual character is blah, but that's not that much of a problem, generally speaking the franchise hasn't been known for the best protagonists before V3 anyway. That said, uh... well I guess if you've played the game you know why.

Cheerful girl protagonist is a better protag than anything shuichi gave off on archetype and design alone
shitty edgy designed boys suck
Hinata atleast had some asshole snark in him, and Naegi atleast was an adorable constant hopeful little shit which is still pretty rare.Okay, I remembered one I hate irrationally:

Shuichi is just..... nothing. And that makes the twist even worse.
Honestly hes the best of the bunch imo. Makoto was one note hope, Hajime was ultimately just a twist with nothing else, Shuichi was an entire character arc
Also you may want to watch the spoilers

His character arc is from Boring to Boring In A Different Way. It's cliched and rote, but even more so for a protagonist 3 games into Danganronpa.
and yes im avoiding actually saying the spoiler, dw
I thought it had character growth, which is more than the other protags
You may want to avoid saying hes the protag tho

Yeah, especially with her hilariously godawful voice acting.botw zelda has to be one of the worst iterations of her. She does basically nothing but complain and is so needlessly flippant.
Firstly, I DON'T kiss my mom anymore.
Secondly, don't tell her I said that, otherwise she won't let me game with my friends this weekend...
I thought pretty all of the characters in BotW were just dumb anime tropes, really.
