All Time Greatest Video Game Characters

by mamba219

This list is really in no particular order, I'm just throwing them up as I remember them. I feel like this doesn't really need to be said, but these are my OPINIONS. I like characters that are either well-developed, or just plain hilarious.

Showing 1-10 of 14 items

Theodore Roosevelt

1. Theodore Roosevelt

Well, he's the greatest person ever to live, so, of course, he's also the greatest video game character ever. TR is always #1 on any "greatest" list I'll make.

Dycedarg Beoulve

2. Dycedarg Beoulve

I shall always be loyal to my one true Lord.

Funky Student

3. Funky Student

My Riddle brother. I just love him. My best friend and I reference and joke about Funky Student all the time, baffling everyone else we know. We even have matching Funky Student shirts.

Detective Dick Gumshoe

4. Detective Dick Gumshoe

Because he's our pal.

Jack Russell

5. Jack Russell

The greatest RPG protagonist.

Revolver Ocelot

6. Revolver Ocelot

Because he's probably the greatest villain ever in a video game, yet no one seems to realize it, which is EXACTLY how he operates!

Purple Tentacle

7. Purple Tentacle

Because he feels strong, and more aggressive.

Frog

8. Frog

Chivalrous frog. What's not to love? He also probably has the greatest single character theme song of all time.

Krelian

9. Krelian

As someone who has personally been in love, I completely empathize with what he does. At the same time, I hate it. It's the mark of a great character. Krelian certainly is.

Adelbert Steiner

10. Adelbert Steiner

I just loved this oaf. Comical, yet lovable. He was basically a stock character but I didn't care. Never stopped being funny.
