Kratos.

He's ugly and looks like he's mentally challenged.

I can't find that pic of kratos which explains what I just said.It has his face and there is bright white light all around.

Nothing wrong with the game,but the protagonist...uggh!

So you'd say Gordon Freeman's beautifully constructed dialogue trumps Master Chief's one-liners?

Kratos shouldn't be on the list. A raging misanthrope. A character many hardcore gamers can relate to.

A massive nerd who only had knowledge of theoretical physics who went onto fight off an alien invasion on earth, the US military and went into the alien's home planet, took over through force by killing their god basically. Biggest bad-ass in gaming, because while some heroes may have accomplished more, they didn't do it with his 0 training.

Gordon Freeman, simply because he isn't a character at all. He's a blank slate for the player to imprint themselves on. What ever personality traits people think he has, is what ever they perceived him to possess. There are no actual scripted scenes the writers depicted him with, only how the supporting characters interact with him as seen from the players eyes, and the player fills in the blanks for how they choose to see Freeman in the situation.

And before you flame, I loved the HL games, they are brilliant and immersive experiences.

Totally worth pointing out the mass has an opinion on something instead of having a real argument. I'm sure most people don't like him for his non-existant nature, not his neridness, you don't ever see him enough to even say hes a nerd, it makes no sense.

A character looking like a nerdy scientist is 100000 times cooler than a hunky character that's supposed to look oh so cool with his manly oversized muscles. If you can't see why that is, I'm sorry.

I'd say Master Chief. Just because he's the lead character in a popular franchise doesn't make him interesting. He has no charisma whatsoever.

Link...I mean seriously whats the appeal here?

atleast with all the other characters there are people who can relate,

kratos - rage, the catharsis dispenser of everyday modern life

freeman - we're on a gaming website arguing about pointless crap, we're all nerds

etc etc

I'm a Metal Gear fan, but I think people overrate the hell out of Solid Snake, especially since his "father" is much more interesting as a main character, IMO.

Kratos was a great character until they tried to add dimensions to his personality. His never hesitate, if it moves kill it, no remorse-attitude worked perfectly in GOW1-2. In three some genius decided to introduce Pandora :cry:. I voted Freeman.
