Videogame heroes you have admired

Agro.

Oh wait. That's a video game horse I admire.

Agro.

Oh wait. That's a video game horse I admire.

And that makes him not a hero how?

[Anayo]

I haven't found very many video games where the writing was high quality enough to make me warm up to anyone. However, I did admire Midna in Zelda Twilight Princess, as well as Alyx from Half Life 2. They were both tough, determined heroines I grew to care about as I progressed through those games.

It's anagrammatic humor.

RYU. The man's persistent... Honing his skills by fighting people all over the world for the sake of self improvement.

Kazooie.

She's probably the reason why I latched onto internet culture so easily. Sarcasm abound!

She's one of my favorites, but I wouldn't say I "admire" her.

I'd say I admire Gordon Freeman most. He just keeps going into terrible situations and fighting, even though he's not in control of it and it never seems like his fight gets anywhere.

I like his character design too in the original MM X series. The long, flowing hair always struck me as looking sort of like a super hero cape. I know some people hated the hair, but I dug it. I also love that Zero is always focused, calm, cool and collected. He never shows fear, never freaks out and never gets as emotionally conflicted and whiny as X. Not that I dislike X mind you. Oh, and one more reason he's awesome:

When I first played MMX I thought Zero was a girl.

Yeah, I never really understood that view that so many people had. I guess seeing long hair didn't automatically trigger the word girl in my brain when I first saw him. All I saw was a badass red robot come in and kick Vile's ass and I knew we'd never see a girl character do that in a Mega Man game. I mean when is the last time you saw Roll kick someone's ass?

[Veno]

I mean when is the last time you saw Roll kick someone's ass?

When I went through Megaman Powered Up with her.

I didn't really admire Solid Snake when I played Metal Gear Solid but I connected to him a lot more than other video games characters because of the emphasis on story in that game and I eventually came to gain a sense of admiration and forndess for his character when I saw his progression during MGS4.

I always assumed the hair was a cape, until I actually looked at pictures of him and realized it hair or some kind of plume.


Oh and as others have previously stated: Samus Aran is kick-ass.
