List of 30 best VG Characters (My Opinion)

Postby 16hockjo » 24 Aug 2011, 23:46

30. King of All Cosmos
(Katamari Damacy series)
Image
From the very first cutscene of Katamari Damacy, we knew the King of All Cosmos was a little different than your average gaming icon. He looks like the Burger King with his head stuck in the middle of an African drum. He rocks a mean Van Dyke. He enjoys strumming acoustic guitar and hanging out with dancing panda bears. He makes all the stars dissapear, and then forces his son to go about the tedious task of putting them back by rolling up giant balls of garbage - all while tossing down imperious, passive-aggressive insults.
He's not the best father and dresses like a cast member of The Icecapades Does Hamlet... On Acid. But from his cracked brains spew some of the most downright oddball dialogue in recent memory. From witty observations like "My, Earth really is full of things!" to the immortal description of the night sky as "rough and masculine, possibly sweaty" the King is the bard of our digital age. While Katamari's graphics have not aged well, the King is like fine wine. Silly? Sure, but to quote the man himself: "Yes, we were naughty. Completely naughty. So, so very sorry. But between you and us, it felt quite good." Indeed it did.

29. Bonnie Mcfarlane
Red Dead Redemption
Image
From her opening scene, Bonnie MacFarlane exhibits an intriguing mix of qualities not normally found in a Rocktstar title. We see her as a caring human being, having taken Marston in, and tended his wounds after his gang left him for dead. At the same time, she is admirably tough, informing Marston that she expects him to work off the doctor's fees before he even has a chance to full heal.
Bonnie MacFarlane defies our expectations by not falling into the opposite yet equally extreme roles feminine characters play in video games. She's not a helpless princess waiting to be saved, and she's not a buxom heroine who's supposed to be empowering simply because she can kick some ass. She's portrayed as a real woman, with strengths and vulnerabilities. As Bonnie teaches the player the basic gameplay mechanics, her relationship with Marston evolves without conforming to the well-worn role of a romantic interest. Bonnie was created with a level of moderation we're not accustomed to seeing, and we found ourselves wanting to go back and visit Bonnie after our missions with her were complete.
The depth of Bonnie's character becomes apparent in one of the final missions of the game when Marston introduces Bonnie to his wife. Her complicated history with Marston is still apparant in her dialogue, but her tone is guarded in the presence of Abigail. The two women seem to approve of one another, but as Marston and his wife ride off, Bonnie hangs back, kicking the ground at what could've been. Throughout the game Bonnie displays a full range of emotions, some spoken, others conveyed through body language and tone. We never would have guessed that one of Rockstar's most memorable characters would be the conservative daughter of a turn-of-the-century rancher, but by not resorting to larger-than-life caricatures, the developers instilled a sense of realism in her personality that we hope to see more from games in the future.
