Who's The Worst Wannabe-Badass In Gaming?

Marcus fenix..

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

Pinkyimp

Naaaah! Marcus is the man!!! Leon is the worst wanna be.

Although I think the guys (so forgettable) from Haze take the cake. It was so ridiculous how cardboard cut out they were of trying to be "bad".

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?

Yet again though, what character didn't do that? Remember those were the days of the corny LIVE action cut scenes... Game characters were a bit corny with a few exceptions.. It is clear that compared from what I have seen in MGS4 ( I don't own a PS3 nor played game only watched a friend play it).. Snake is matured like just about every character to the time..

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 mostly talking about leon in re4

and snake isn't a wannabe badass.

Leon wasn't that bad in the fourth either.. I can't remember any line that game that made him look like a testrarone filled wannabe..

The Masterchief .AgentA-Mi6

why no solid snake?3picuri3

Nope, Just Masterchief.

It is clear that compared from what I have seen in MGS4 ( I don't own a PS3 nor played game only watched a friend play it).. Snake is matured like just about every character to the time.. sSubZerOo

Oh yeah. Snake used to almost get on my nerves with his overly gravelly voice, but it finally worked in MGS4. I guess because he was older and a smoker and stuff. I finally didnt feel like Snake was cheesy anymore.

That's what I really liked about Snake in MGS4, he was no longer some super bad arse anymore... he was human, with age catching up to him. He didnt care about seeing tomorrow, only about getting his mission done because he cant do it anymore. He needed help, completing the mission wasnt a guarantee, and he was burnt out. I really think they nailed in that game. Snake finally felt "human" and not cheesy anymore.

duke nukem was the benchmark for chessy action stars vut his game didnt take itself so seriously like MGS. so it was alright

And :lol: at your ignorant knowledge of the charcter of MC

I agree with those who says Master Cheif shouldnt be on there. He isnt trying to be bad, he's just being a soldier. lol.

Now, if he used cheesy over the top dialogue, then yes - he would deserve to be up there.

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

Hungry_Homer111

I dont know if he really counts as bad considering that it was intentional.

But it's not excessive, and that quote isnt even that cheesy.

The Leon of RE2 and the Leon of RE4 are not the same person.

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

Hungry_Homer111

I think the thing is, Travis should not be on the list cause Suda purposly made him that way, he's suppose to be the "Anti-badass". He wanted so much to be one but the way he acts and say things and looks make him look like a total emo instead! I think Suda did that on purpose so Travis couldn't really be counted.

For those that " tried to be a badass but came off totally wrong", Dante gets my vote.

Why is Kratos even an option?no_handlebars

Yea, if I met Kratos in a dark backalley with noone else around, I'd be running around pissing the floor while shating my pants and crying like a little girl.

Krato's the type of guy that looks like he's gonna cut off your neck and poop down your throat if you so much look at him funny.

[/QUOTE

Come to think of it, I want to take my vote back.

Leon from RE2 was annoying as hell, maybe to keep up with the familiarity of the original "EEEENNNNNRRRIIICCCOOOO" and "Jill Sandwich" RE. So what you get is "AAAAADDDDDDAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" OMG, I want to rip off my ears at that one!

RE 4 Leon ain't half bad but he's still no badass.

but I think that Capcom intentionally made him overly cheesy. Come on, have you seen the opening scene from DMC3. It's ridiculus.

foxhound_fox

Seriously, the only "cocky" line I seen Master Chief say was "Sir, finishing this fight."

Leon, defenitely.

That "Hasta luego" he says gets me laughing every time. Cheesy as can be.

This guy is the poster child for corny action stars.

Gh0st_Of_0nyx

agreed. with possibly the cheesiest voice in gaming

MasterChief is not really a badass.... He is more of a hero I guess.

Marcus..... well he is a bit of a walking joke.

A badass does not hide behind walls constantly - Braids maker was completely correct.

[QUOTE="carljohnson3456"]But it's not excessive, and that quote isnt even that cheesy.foxhound_fox

You're reaching with that one, he's a super bio enhanced soldier thats wearing the most advanced armor on Earth, and he's going into battle, what do you expect him to say "could i trouble you for a firearm dear sir"?. :lol:

If anyone was a badass in Halo it was Sgt. Johnson?.

But if MC deserves to be in the poll for that line, then Snake also deserves it as do most video game "badasses"

If anyone was a badass in Halo it was Sgt. Johnson?.

Snugenz

Even if he is directly ripped off the sergent from Aliens - that guy wasn't a badass either.

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.

vashkey

Dante is so lame, he's like some MTV watching 16 year old

He was a badass, a loveable funny badass but sometimes cheesy ...

"i know what the ladies like" for example :P

This Guy!! He wants to be big and bad but ends up spending most of his time picking up trash, mowing lawns, gathering cocunuts and running stupid errands. Not to mention fighting pretty much no variety in enemies in the same garage.

"Pizza owner wont pay up his protection money, fight guys in suits in a garage."

"Guy wont let your customer buy his buisness, fight guys in suits in a garage."

This game had so much potential if they didnt add so much filler. This game should have done what SOTC did and just let you fight the interesting bosses, I am so sick of games making you run errands to continue with the story.

duke nukem

he might have been a bad-ass during the mid 90's but this whole duke nukem forever thing is just pathetic

A badass is The Duke, or hmm.... Garret from Thief?

But if you remember he was also invincible, how is that not badass :D

I can't believe I found a picture but umm yeah, I have this game. :lol:

On that note he went out in the worst way possible.
