Reddit's most hated gaming protagonists

[Tyranicon]

So there's yet another "game protags you hate" on r/gaming, and the answers are actually surprisingly in line with the general codex consensus.

Omitting the joke responses, the top upvoted ones as of this posting, in order:

1. Alfrey Holland from Forspoken
2. Major Nechayev from Atomic Heart
3. Franklin from GTA V
4. Miles Morales in Spiderman 2
5. Aloy from Horizon series
6. All crew members of Starfield
7. Vaan from FF XII
8. Imogen Sjet from Homeworld 3
9. Abby from The Last of Us 2
10. Eivor from Ass Creed Valhalla (femme version)
11. Ryder from ME: Andromeda
12. All of Watch Dogs 2
13. Every single character in Until Dawn

My two takeaways from this is that first: codexer opinions are reflected more in the mainstream than we may think.

And also reddit is horribly racist/sexist and should be canceled immediately.

Some subs are not as retarded as others, or maybe different types of people gravitate to them. Can't speak for /r/gaming, but I've seen some good opinions on /r/pcgaming

Apparently, the protagonist in Atomic Heart is much less annoying, and more interesting, if you play the game in Russian. The English voice acting is not good in that game.

I know nothing about Homeworld 3, but seeing that character listed makes me thing they SJW'd the story to the max. Shame.

RPG Codex is as bad as Reddit.

I do know, but I don't own or have played any of those games.

 

[Ghulgothas]

I'd expect The Boss & Friends from Nu-Saint's Row to rank pretty high.

But if they're not, then that's a testement to how few people actually bothered to play it.

All of them are from shit games, so I think it definitely fits with Reddit.

Homeworld 3 must have had quite the impact if its not even been out a month and they hate the protagonist even more than the main character of the game which killed the media darling that was Mass Effect.

Mandalore video dropped a couple of days ago and reddit loves Mandalore. They are just parroting his opinion.

 

[octavius]

All brand new games (from 2020s)? I thought Reddit would find characters from older games more "problematic".

 

[Nifft Batuff]

I love the clone of Aloy, Beta.

Homeworld 3's protag/story is so laughably bad I refuse to believe humans wrote that shit.

I feel like they were testing out AI or some shit.

They haven't played any older games.

I've got a feeling Reddit might hate some of character for the reasons opposite of those held by Codex. I've only played GTA V of those games, so who knows.

13. Every single character in Until Dawn

The characters in this game are not really meant to be likeable. They're meant to mimic the teenage/college kids cliches seen in 80's slasher flicks. I assume most gamers on reddit have never seen any.

 

[Socrates]

GTA 5 is one of the most overrated games in history so I am glad one of the characters on here made it on the shitlist.

I keep telling you that you are normies virtue signaling your normalcy to each other when you explain how bad black lady action hero in Slop 2 is.
Being SJW is the real punk in 2024, fr fr no cap.

 

[9ted6]

Trevor was worse than Franklin.

Pretty solid list though.

 

[Beans00]

Most of reddit is bots as per the dead internet theory.

You're literally wasting your time reading that website.

 

[jaekl]

I don't remember anyone complaining about Franklin back when gta5 was new and he got voted worse than even the infamous Abby? I think all of the social engineering attempts and insufferable liberal weirdos are, ironically, turning people into actual racists over time.

 

[PunchYouInTheFace]

Chudexian = Redditor.

 

[Konjad]

Franklin wasn't that bad of a character. I mean, he was bad but he wasn't the worst, and all characters there were disappointing.

Starfield is pure shit in everything.

The rest I have no idea, never played, never will.

I doubt the worst characters according to 'dex would be similar because I doubt 'dexers played most of these games.

 

[rumSaint]

Let's see:
- Every game mainstream slop
- Reddit opinion

It's hard to not agree with leddit here, but most of these games are bad anyways, writing is mostly bad, and so are characters.

 

[Baron Tahn]

If Vaan was that shirtless blonde kid in FXII yes, he was utterly shite. That's a good one.

 

[ind33d]

>Starfield

Imagine complaining about an autistic blonde MILF carrying your precious metals and giving you flowers she picked in space. Anyone who doesn't like Sarah is a schizoid
