Yep, the big 300. Already. Yeah, I know I'm a total addict. Either way, in celebration of such an event that shouldn't be celebrated in the first place. TheThree Characters That Made History(for me). With that, I don't mean characters like CJ from GTA: San Andreas, or Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid.
No secundary characters, which were so great that they should be honored like a god.
#1 - Mike Toreno from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004).
Toreno's a CIA/FBI/DHS/National Guard/Anything Agent. And damn his dialogue was the best ever. Really. He's supposed to be an "behind the scenes know it all", and used Carl Johnson to clean up the dirty work to keep his hands clean, and in order to return Sweet to San Andreas from a horrible jailcell.
In every way possible, Toreno's a neurotic smartass. In the good way of the word, actually. If a game needed a character like this, it's Grand Theft Auto. His missions are fun, and his cutscenes are hillarious if you understand what he's saying. Now, if you're interested in "Conspiracy Theories", this guy will make sense.
If not, well... Then you'll doubt what the hell he's doing in this list.
Famous Quotes:
"*reading an history book* This history is all wrong! It says that Hitler killed himself, and that we nuked Japan. Well... Whatever helps them sleep at night."
#2 - Johnny Gat from Saints Row (2006)
This psycho called Johnny Gat made Saints Row's cutscenes memoriable. I'm positive that half of the players never even understood the jokes he made. In short, they were anti-feminist and very random.
Speaking of random, Gat was not the regular psycho, he's the type that "takes the biggest hammer, and smashes what gets in his way. Which explains his whacky-ass robo-leg". Basicly, he's an idiot. But, nontheless funny.
Another guy from the sandbox-action genre, yup... I'm aware of that too. Hey, guess what! The third one will be too. Alriiight. He's your basic Chinese-American Martin Riggs.
Famous Quotes:
"Well, you don't mess with the Saints!... I mean, Vice Kings. Cause, err... That's who we are. I suppose."
#3 - The Truth from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The very best character out of any game. Sneaky, neurotic, dumb, stupid, on drugs, weird mottos and the last but not least - He's an hippie. Alright, it's another GTA character. But not alot of games, actually barely any game nowadays has good characters than you wanna memorize, not just see as an hero.
This guy made alot of references to what today are true conspiracy theory topics. Like the Lizard King, the No 23 Theory and a group of preparing survivalists. His random acts are what you can call a signature move. Oftenly he gives a good excuse too, for instance when he makes CJ park the car infront of a hospital, he says to CJ "Think about a yellow rubber duck."Wether he's paranoid, or well gifted and informed, no-one knows.
Cause this aging hippie has no idea of what he says himself either. He made video game histoy. ...For me.
Famous Quotes:
"Shoot? I'm a hippie. The only thing I've shot is acid. I heard of a dude snorted it once. Thought his nose was a kangaroo and the moon was a dog! WOOH!"
(P.S, can you make sense out of those random links? You do? Well to Bill Brasky then.)
