Who's The Worst Wannabe-Badass In Gaming?

you know, those manufactured badass action-movie star characters that devs create to appeal to hardcore teens

who's the cheesiest among them?

Leon

"you're small time"

The Masterchief .AgentA-Mi6

Gee, how'd I know the Masterchief would be on the list?

Anyway, Dante. Easily. He's so ****ing anoying and his dailouge is so incredibly cheesy. He pracitically ruins the game.

Fallowed closely by Leon.

Capcom just can't make a game anyone above the age of fifteen can take seriously.

Marcus fenix..

did you hear him when he said "Ill take those" sounded like a complete J***ass.

While it's actually why I like him, Travis Touchdown gets my vote.

Freaking hate Marcus Fenix and Cole Train from Gears of War? Is the dialogue supposed to be that bad? They don't even act like they are in a real war, and it just makes the whole experinece less climatic when you have idiots who are trying to sound more badass than actually winning the war.DeathScape666

For the most part, I thought it was suppose to be funny(and in most cases it clearly was intended to be).

I mean, especially Cole and Baird. They nothing but goof balls.

Dante--but, to be fair, I think he's purposely cheesy.Bentham

Dante. Him and Nero are such poofs running around with queer phrases like "slam dunk". Why Kratos is on this list instead of Leon, and why someone voted for him, I will never know.

Edit: Post #400 :D

my vote goes to Cliffy B :P

I know he is not actually IN a game but I can see him thinking he is Marcus.

Oh hell yeah. If Cliffy were on this poll he'd be deserving of every vote. Ten times more than Dante.

How does Master Chief even come off ass a bad ass? You can't see what he looks like and he barely even talks. Sure he's done heroic and incredible things but nothing he's done can really be considered badass. And for all you haters that complain how he's a tin can with no personality. Again why are you voting for the MC?

I go with Dante or Leon. Both Capcom characters and its not a coincidence. Capcom tries overly hard to create badass characters and yet the one who pulls it off the best for them would have to be Albert Wesker a guy who does it with a touch of Finess ironically.

Ya gotta admit though, he has done pretty bad ass things in the games. Taking a huge ass bomb to a ship in space and launching hemself back to his ship from the explosion.
Survivng entering the earth's atmosphere.

But really, most of whats he does is what the player does and he rarely talks and what he does say isnt really cheesy crap, like what dante says. So like you said it's kinda stupid to vote against him.

Why is Kratos even an option?no_handlebars

Same reason Masterchief is. To give retards somthing to vote for.

Wesker was somewhat cheesy in RE: CV. He was ok in RE4. He really shined in RE0, RE1(especially in RE1), and RE2.

MC shouldn't even be on there. He doesn't really act like a badass in the game but he does perform badass acts.

For me it would have to be Dante. Capcom just doesn't know how to make him like how he was in the original DMC. In the original he was a calmer badass. He didn't have any cheesy one liners and he actually had a serious side to him. DMC2 he was just quiet and not likeable, in DMC3 he was annoying, and in DMC4 he was just a giant cliche.

If Capcom actually had his persona from the original to be consistent in the other DMC games then he would probably be one of the greatest badass characters ever.

how did you miss the cheesiest line in videogame history?

This guy is the poster child for corny action stars.

But DMC3 still wins. Because of the massive quantity of cheesy one-liners.

Guys Dante is meant to be a joke. His dialogue and his attitude is meant to be funny. I'm gonna have to go with Marcus Fenix. CrazyyyDylan

why isnt snake up there ?

he's the poster child for chessy lame action hero's.

Gh0st_Of_0nyx

He kinda does deserve to be up there. I love him, but he's pretty cheesy some times.

But still, no one can beat Dante in that area.

I fail to see how Leon can be considered bad ass at all in the sense of trying to be one? Did any one actually play resident evil 2? If anything he appealed most to adults to basically having the very logical idea of getting the hell out of there..

That being said.. Master Chief.. Devs apparently thought a guy garbed in green moto cross gear, with a rank as a name, and rediculous emotionless dialogue would make him seem tough or likable..

I'm no MGS fan.. but to call Snake a wannabe bad ass, would be to call Kirk Russel "Snake Pliskin" a wannabe bad ass.. And you just can't do that :P

Whoever voted for Kratos should die. Why is Kratos even on here? He's a God that rips people apart in graphic and disturbing ways, and kills other more powerful Gods, and all the while has all the honeys on his side. Gods don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment. Its to bad Luigis not on here. He's tries so hard to be as BA as his brother, but always chickens out. Every single time...tktomo01

Just saying. Its more about the characters personality and dialogue.

he is a wannabe baad ass have you ever played MGS 1 ? :lol: so many corny lines.Gh0st_Of_0nyx

What games didn't have some corny lines in them back then? Is it entirely fair to compare them to the standards today, where we expect dialogue and character to sometimes rival motion pictures?
