Snake has a mullet.  That automatically disqualifies him.

Cammy.

She deserves a stand-alone spin off game, something better than Cannon-Spike.

Why did I choose her? Well, she's just so cool, especially her Delta Red outfit!

She's also very mysterious. We don't know her past, she supposed to be a clone of Bison but she still doesn't know if he's telling the truth, and she's desperate to find out who she is. The story possibilities are endless.



Cammy's a what what what? Of Bison? Ewwwwwwwww.

The story of Solid Snake is the most interesting in all of gaming for me.

I find him too complicated and he thinks too much when he should just be blowing stuff up Nyaa

And then there's Manny from Grim Fandango. I'll put him up against anyone.
Here's the opening if no one's ever seen it. He's more entertaining than most characters in animated movies these days.

I'll have to watch that later.

I love Travis, the voice acting is great fun.

I used to love Fisher but as the game sequels got more annoying he fell out of favour with me.

The bear is trying to kill him. He has no other choice but to rocket launcher it in the face.

April Ryan from the longest journey is one. Good female character in a field that don't have many of 'em. Smart, artistic , sarcastic - what's not to like.  I know that I like a character when I click on things just to hear what they'll have to say about it.

This. Hands down, the best written videogame character. It's not even a contest. As far as depth, complexity and being real go, April is the only true choice.

I had no idea this was a good game. Fortunately I have it for the XB so I'll give it a go.

I think you are talking about Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, that's the XB sequel. The original is a point and click adventure game that goes on Steam for about 10 bucks, that's the game I'm talking about. I stopped my playthrough at around 40%, but I am definitely going back to it soon.

Yeah, about Cammy being Bison's clone, that does sound a little creepy now that you mention it, LOL!

But I think the story is that she's created from his DNA, so in a sense, she's kind of like his daughter or fraternal twin.

Anyway, that does sound kind of weird, but this is Japanese storytelling and Capcom, so weird is normal there! Nyaa

Like I said, my number one choice is Samus but a few already mentioned her, but she's my choice since Samus has always been my favorite game character.

I'd be posting more today but had a freelance job that was stressing me out. Some alcohol  and maybe some samba de amigo is in order.

Speaking of main characters what about Guybrush Threepwood?

Another good character- great series. And that reminds me - April in the longest journey game has a toy monkey named guybrush.

I'll have to watch that later.

YES. If you have ever liked any of the lucas arts adventure games you have to play this. It was the last big hurrah for them. My brother came by to snag one of the  lucas arts monkey games and I got him hooked on this.

 Longest journey was a nice suprise for me. Some people get thrown because the beginning is a little dialogue heavy. They establish her normal life before it gets crazy. I eat that stuff up though. This guy has a walkthrough if you're curious .

I don't replay games, no time. But I am really tempted to try this one and fandango again.

Ouch. Insured I hope.

 I like the games and like Samus but they would need to develop her more for her to be more memorable . She's one of the classic nintendo silent protagonists - a vessel for you to play through. This is all based on just the prime games though.

 Have you gotten to the scene with the computerized car? I don't remember the scene but I know I enjoyed his/it's dialogue.

I wholeheartedly vote for Doomguy.

- He possesses superhuman strength. Capable of running at 57MPH with a knuckle duster, chainsaw, pistol, two shotguns, a chaingun, a rocket launcher, plasma rifle, the BFG9000, 400 bullets, 100 shells, 100 rockets, 400 energy cells, and armor sturdy enough to endure several balls of plasma, fire, bullets, etc.

- Superhuman speed: His landspeed doubles while wallrunning.

- Superhuman endurance: He never tires, regardless of how long he's been running, or how much damage he's taken. He can also fall from any distance without sustaining injury.

- Life after death: Using the zombie glitch, Doomguy can still pick up objects, operate doors and switches, even after death, and continue his mission.

- He has access to power-ups that make him ten times more powerful, give him twice as much health (and armor), make him partically invisible, and even temporarily invincible.

- He can survive in the vacuum of space.

- He can survive in whatever atmosphere Hell has.

- Fought his way out of Hell twice.

- This isn't including the stuff he does in the books, all of which I can't remember.

Whoops. I missed this post. Sorry. I haven't reached that part, I think I left my playthrough at the police station, but it's been a while. I need to reinstall the game to get back to it soon.
