3D Realms
Between Mario, Commander Shepard, Nathan Drake, Master Chief, and Lara Croft, video games have no shortage of beloved and iconic characters. We play as them, care for them, and root for them to succeed because they’re immediately engaging and they have enough appeal to launch franchise power. They are the heroes that we live vicariously through as they face off against increasingly overwhelming odds and dastardly foes.
Inevitably, there’s another side of the coin entirely, where annoying characters who deserve to be absolutely despised stink up what could have been great video games.
Sometimes a character is so insanely annoying that their mere presence is difficult to take. Or maybe they are an opponent so obnoxiously difficult to beat that it causes you to give up all hope and question your very life decisions. And of course it can even be as simple as poor writing or characterisation.
