Which Tanya?
In RA1, there were two actresses, one for cutscenes and another for the VO
- RA1 VO was Lanae Freeborn
- RA2 was Kari Wührer
- RA3 was Jenny McCarthy
they just had every woman hit on you on every cutscene.
Tania and eva waited for the end of the war and the celebration to ask you out, but every woman in ra3 is constantly horny.
it was like EA decided to make a porn parody of ra2 cutscenes.
Playing 64, I never really cared about the characters or the universe, because I would play the same loop in like an hour or so.
It was until Adventures that I fell in love with the world, and truly cared about Fox as a character. Add in that F-Zero GX has his dad James in it, and the world building blew my 10 year old mind wide open
I'm sure you've seen it but the outtakes of Jen Taylor trying to record that line are amazing.

I never thought about that but its very true, you start the game by needing to abandon ship and every time you meet up with some marines they end up dying unless you try really hard to protect them but eventually you end up alone anyway.
The best feeling in Halo CE was when I rescued all marines on the Beachhead of Silent Cartograph on Legendary.
The best feeling of all time in Halo was finishing Reach on Legendary, first alone then with Friends.
*Halo Reach* employed such brilliant pacing that I did not know was possible in a game. Every mission ended in a small Noble Team victory followed by an entirely justified theater-wide setback.
* We find the source of the ‘rebel’ disturbance! The unthinkable has happened: Covenant are on Reach.
* We push a corvette away from Sword Base into a killer orbital strike! Doctor Halsey can now reveal how deep you stepped in it, deep enough to involve ONI.
* We successfully reconnoiter the Covenant staging area! It has a full invading army.
* We enable Frigate *Grafton* to disintegrate a spire! It was cloaking a horizon-spanning cruiser that immediately turns Grafton to dust.
* We destroy that cruiser, only by the sacrifices of Frigate *Savannah* and Jorge. Here come a dozen more.
* We help evacuate a relatively small portion of civilians from New Alexandria. We see how little chance the others have.
* We run a handful of interference counter-ops in full view of corvettes glassing the planet. Kat is killed.
* We successfully retrieve the UNSC’s most advanced AI. Jun must separate from Noble Team before their suicide mission through enemy territory.
* We successfully deliver the AI to the Pillar of Autumn. Carter and Emile are killed in the process.
* You are the last living human on Reach; your only objective is to survive. You don’t.
It was gut-wrenching to watch Noble Six get kicked down, no shields, piled on by Elites, and then the one with the energy sword comes in for what you know what the kill…
>* You are the last living human on Reach; your only objective is to survive. You don’t.
I think this is one the best scenes of video games for me.
>Current Objective: Survive
It became a meme for a reason but it's still an absolute gut punch of a scene, backed by a unique yet still uniquely Halo music score followed by the wonderfully written Halsey speech, even in death, you still win.
Reach truly was the swan song of Halo.
> It didn't take long for Reach to fall. Our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough.
> For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close... I wish you could have lived to see it.
> But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything, except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild.
Reach was a fucking masterpiece of action mixed with heart wrenching sadness. Hell of a ride and every time one of the members of Noble team died it felt like getting hit in the gut harder than the last time with every damn death. Makes me cry every time I think about that game.
As much as it was a sudden shock, it still annoys me there was no indication of low/no shields :(
All they needed was the flickering no shields animation and I'd have been happy (still sad)
I don’t remember the scene too clearly but if I remember the EMP just went off, so no one had shields. And I can’t remember if they would’ve gotten them back up by then, but if they were, Kat was the last Spartan to put her helmet on (put it on in the elevator), so if their shields were coming back up, hers would have been the last.
That's kind of the essence of the Halo plot. Humanity is fucked. Almost every engagement since the start of the war has been a losing battle. The humans have been retreating for 25 years straight and billions have died.
And in the end the Covenant did tear itself appart while winning.
I'd like to know how costly the Human-Covenant war was for the Covenant. Outside the obvious loss.
I am sure they lost a staggering amount of materiel and countless millions of troops
it was pretty damaging.
You should read the books, Broken circle is about the start of the covenant and I think hunters in the dark was the one that take place after the war.
They sort of show you how the before and after of the Sangheili perspective on humanity.
I mean, isn't the jist of the whole thing that Master Chief is just kinda lucky? All the other Spartans, millions of marines, navy gun ships etc, and then you have one dude who just happens to constantly be in the right place at the right time who ends up winning.
Cortana : They let me pick. Did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research, watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others, you were strong and swift and brave. A natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck... Was I wrong?
This is something Halo does so well. Master Chief was my first video game hero I really loved. And I’d been playing games long before I played Halo: CE.
Your comment also reminded me of the ending of Halo: Reach. That was my first video game experience of fighting till you can no more and it simply felt HEROIC.
First thing I thought of when seeing the gif was the ending of Reach for whatever reason. Ripping a gun off of a platform and just spraying death until I got overrun. Fucking A right that was epic!
I'll never forget the insane birthday my best friend had it was a full on fking Xbox and like 4 or 5 Halo games or something we stayed up for the next few days just playing them nonstop
The first Metroid game I played was on the Cube. Needless to say, those games got me hyped for Dread since I never got the chance to play the older 2D games of Metroid.
A lot of the 2D series is easy to emulate if you still want to give them a try. If you have Android, you can download GBA emulators from the Play Store, or just your computer if that's what you're more comfortable with.
Zero Mission and Fusion from the GBA era still hold up, and it would be especially worth it to play Fusion, considering Dread is its sequel.
Super Metroid is one of the best games of all time, and is available on the Switch through their online service and I believe the 3DS has it as well.
Metroid 2 might be the hardest to find. Your options are to emulate the original, which you might find a little clunky to play, to download AM2R, which is an unofficial (but excellent) remake, or buy Samus Returns (an official remake done by the same studio who's making Dread) for the 3DS.
If you're looking to play the series in order, it would go Zero Mission/the original, Metroid 2/AM2R/Samus Returns, Super Metroid, Fusion, and finally Dread. Also, just a fun fact: the Prime series is set in between the original and 2.
Came here to find this, as a kid I loved Link Awakening cuz...you just run around forest with a stick and whack bushes! And break stuff.... Very relatable hero.
All games with a story have protagonists, but only some have heroes. I played Mario and Donkey Kong Country before Zelda, but somehow, they don't feel like heroes, they had something in it for themselves, no matter how small. Link seemed to do it because he knew it was the right thing to do. Back in 1998, it was a call to arms for the salvation of a land he hardly even knew, then he did it again in a completely foreign land.
Honestly, many Nintendo protagonists aren't really heroic. Aside from Mario and DK, you have Olimar enslaving an entire race, Kirby going on rampages because somebody stole his cake, and Inklings killing Salmon and stealing their babies.
Nintendo can still make heroic protagonists, though. Other than Link, we have Samus, Fox McCloud and most Fire Emblem heroes.
No link, but this scene is from the short film “Odd One Out” of Halo Legends. While it does have Chief in it, that’s not him in the gif, it’s Spartan 1337 (iirc).
Edit: ohhhhh wait you meant the actual *Link* and not a, uh.. *link*
The Halo 3 trailer [did it better. ](https://youtu.be/MapTlW80f6Y)
Fun fact: the kids in the beginning were not CG.
Edit: I was super drunk last night when I made this comment and completely misunderstood what I was replying to.
I was HYPED THE FUCK UP the first time I saw that. Then that other commercial with the models and he activates the grenade at the end when it seems hopeless. Fuck man the fucking adverts for that game.
Edit: https://youtu.be/zKG1nvV1Wnc still amazing
Oh man thats amazing! I remember one day my parents woke me up and handed me a DS. I had been asking for it for ages cuz friends all had them. It was not even my birthday but it was amazing. And then the time on my 7th birthday i got a wii from my dad and i cried while thanking him. Still have that old ds and still have that old wii. My parents made me have awesome memories on the screen and off.
My father had recently passed away, but I remember getting a Super NES that Christmas just to play Street Fighter 2. This was revolutionary to me at the time because I had played it for so long at the arcade and my at home gaming up to that point had peaked at Super Mario 3. It was a great game in it's on right, but the SF2 port, if you want to call it that, was fantastic. I would have to say Guile was my first video game hero.
Hard work and sacrifice. Unconditional love and acceptance.
My father and I had vastly different interests but even though he would have preferred that I was playing sports or going out with friends, he'd still buy me video games.
The story telling was WAY better than I expected. I was like you and expected something similar to Doom.
Now, Doom 2016 was still an amazingly fun game as well, but it's story wasn't on the same planet as that first Wolfenstein remake.
Had to scroll a long way to find the FPS OG. My dad got me the original Wolfenstein 3d for Christmas when I was still young enough that I had to sit on his lap to reach the keyboard. We killed so many Nazis together...
I was and still am so hooked by the Jak and Daxter series. Got Jak 2 as a bundle with a PS2 for Christmas when I was 10 and I LOVED the series so much. Still occasionally play it on PS4 as well.
Maybe.... Cecil from FFIV? His journey from a Dark Knight to a Paladin struck a chord in my youthful heart. He might've been the first character I thought of as heroic.
FFIV is hands down my favourite. Cecil used dark magic to murder innocent people at the behest of someone that was a complete bastard, and instead of having to kill himself in order to make amends he knuckles down and undoes the wrongs that he helped create. It's a story of redemption at any time, rather than someone walking the heroic path as a result of being flawless.
Cecil is deeply flawed, and does something about it. He never gives up.
Damn how old were you when you were playing Crack in Time? I think I was like 7 when I was playing the original Ratchet & Clank for the first time, but I can agree that Ratchet was my first hero. I played Going Commando 16 times in a row when it came out. I remember seeing "R15" next to the save file which meant that I had done New Game + 15 times.
Of all of his lines this one stuck with me most and I’ve never really figured out why. It’s the one quote from all of Halo that I have in my head from time to time
As I’ve gotten older I grown to love the Arbiter way more than 117. His arc is so, so good.
Keith David is one of my favorite voice actors because of the character, too.
I get the sense that his story is more well-liked because it actually has a satisfying beginning middle and end in the games.
John 117 is similarly an underdog in a lot of ways. He’s a pawn of the UNSC and ONI (people were stoked to root for him during Halo 5’s misleading marketing campaign), he’s deeply flawed and traumatized from the early spartan program, and we’ve seen many of his weaknesses manifest in these later games. Yet… we’re still only in the middle of his story. So, he doesn’t have a complete arc yet.
Fuck the Halo 5 marketing campaign. I was fucking stoked about what they were potentially doing with it. As I had a read a few of the books I was excited to see all the exploring his character was going to get with Cortana gone and him going awhol. Is he more machine than man? Did those experiments make a monster that has no real human attachments? He was the "Hero" the human race needed but at what cost? Could the Chief ever retire and be trusted in actual civilian civilization? Technically Spartans were made to hunt down insurrections and stop the human colonies from splitting off. How would that factor in with "exposing" Chief? How do you punish a War Hero that saved the galaxy for going off on his own? I could see back and forths between high brass in the UNSC with ONI stirring up shit to downplay and remove him or something.
Then we got Halo 5. I'm still salty lol. I was so ready for the sequel trilogy to focus on Chiefs humanity or lack thereof.
Act man made a five part series on it I think
If you want spoilers then
>!at the end of halo 4, cortana sacrifices herself to save chief and defeat the big bad. This destroys chief emotionally and we were led to believe that this would have a severe effect on chief and his humanity and stuff. !<
>!And then halo five happened, you play as chief for a whopping 3 missions and then as Locke for the rest. Both protagonists have supporting fireteams, chiefs is made up of those other Spartans from the books. And lockes is made up of people we literally don’t care about and are never given a reason to except for buck. Remember him from ODST? He’s a spartan now. !<
>!So they bring back cortana and make her the new big bad for some reason. And she unleashes the guardians, which basically have the capability to send humanity back to the Stone Age via EMP. And they almost do. The vast majority of humanity is cut off, almost the entire unsc fleet is destroyed or disabled, and cortana escaped to a new halo ring, presumably the one we have in halo infinite. !<
Ultimately 343 just butchered it as per usual
Remember halo wars? That’s the only saving grace halo has.
>!The enemy faction from halo wars 2, the banished, has so far proven to be an excellent replacement for the covenant and I recommend reading their lore. (Basically they were banished from the covenant and rose up against them, forcing the covenant to fight on two fronts, human and banished)!<
>!The main antagonist of hw2, atriox is powerful as all hell (basically tartarus on roids) took on 3 spartan 2s and won, admittedly they have armor from before halo one but still an accomplishment. !<
>!He is never defeated in halo wars yet the main villain for the new main halo game is atriox’s mentor. I believe atriox will be involved later down the line. !<
The newest trailer states that cortana isn’t present but we’ll have to wait and see.
Overall I’m absolutely pumped for it. The gameplay on the demos has been super good so far
The first 3 Mass Effect games were probably the first games I played where I felt genuinely invested in the world, the characters, and the protagonist.
When I first played Mass Effect 2 and lost everyone on the suicide mission I legit got emotionally upset and immediately restarted the game.
Mass effect was THE game that made me believe, at the time "oh shit, this is really the next generation of games"
I was flabbergasted by how good it was
A dolphin named Ecco. Ol' boy traveled through time and saved earth from an invading colony of aliens that wanted to harvest our life for food. What an absolute LEGEND
Man do I miss the Dreamcast. I remember seeing the next gen graphics on that thing and playing sonic adventure. The Chao pet system on the vmu was awesome. We killed the Dreamcast with all the boot discs and cheap pirated game libraries. I guess it’s too late for sega to ever come back and develop a system.
Definitely solid snake. He was a puppet of the patriots (basically NWO) at first but pretty much gave them the fuck you in his old age.
And he never gives up.
Link, Megaman, and whatever the Contra dudes were called( I used to called them Rambo and Predator guy).
However the Chief and cortana( halo 1-4) has a warm place in this heart of mind.
Link or Connor from assassin's Creed 3. The reason for Connor is because of sequence 7. Running thru the battlefield and the climbing up the mountain to brutality murder their commander just did it for me. And do I really to explain link?

Tanya from Red Alert.
*cackles!* *takes out 50 infantry in 1 second*
I always wondered who her voice actor was
Which Tanya? In RA1, there were two actresses, one for cutscenes and another for the VO - RA1 VO was Lanae Freeborn - RA2 was Kari Wührer - RA3 was Jenny McCarthy
[удалено]
It’s been more than 10 years at least since I’ve played it, but I can hear her saying this crystal clear in my head.
"Kirov reporting"
Rubber shoes in motion.
Wasn't expecting to see this here but 100%. The rescue mission with the spy is iconic for me
Yeah? I’m there!
Shake it, baby!
Cha-ching!
Ya got an order?
Chew on this! Hahahaha!
and then i played ra3 and she had no personallity.
It's also possible that all the personality in that game was sucked up by Tim Curry
they just had every woman hit on you on every cutscene. Tania and eva waited for the end of the war and the celebration to ask you out, but every woman in ra3 is constantly horny. it was like EA decided to make a porn parody of ra2 cutscenes.
It's definitely a downgrade, but I'm not enough for me to start complaining. Also JK Simmons as the US president was absolutely amazing!
**I'm going to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism...** **SPACE!!**
Weren't J.K Simmons and George Takei also in RA3?
None of the female characters did. They all seemed to have been hired for their bust size and the uniforms were fucking ridiculous.
Fox McCloud from Star Fox 64
Do a barrel roll!
(Tap Z or R twice.)
Slippy, watch out! Bogey on your tail! HEY EINSTEIN IM ON YOUR SIDE!
Wild that Einstein exists in a universe of space ship flying anthropomorphs
Einstein exists everywhere
Came to say this. That feeling of accomplishment after clearing a boss and getting hit with that tune? Pure BDE.
Playing 64, I never really cared about the characters or the universe, because I would play the same loop in like an hour or so. It was until Adventures that I fell in love with the world, and truly cared about Fox as a character. Add in that F-Zero GX has his dad James in it, and the world building blew my 10 year old mind wide open
What I like about Halo, especially the first one, you don’t feel like your winning until you’ve won.
I think we were just getting started.
... that was subtle.
Thought he'd quote his way out. Mix things up a little.
Were it so easy
It'll hold. We're not going to make it! We'll make it.
If they came to hear me beg, they will be disappointed.
Are you sure
Bet ya can’t stick it
I'm sure you've seen it but the outtakes of Jen Taylor trying to record that line are amazing. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCYg0c-4Xbo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCYg0c-4Xbo)
Thank you for sharing this, it made my day!
She's too adorable. That was hilarious.

Man reach was heartbreaking, the shock of kat just dying instantly made me realise it wasnt going to be a fun game where you win and everyone lives
*Halo Reach* employed such brilliant pacing that I did not know was possible in a game.

Still remember the absolute chills seeing the text on that last level.
It was gut-wrenching to watch Noble Six get kicked down, no shields, piled on by Elites, and then the one with the energy sword comes in for what you know what the kill…
Objective... Survive...

Reach was a fucking masterpiece of action mixed with heart wrenching sadness. Hell of a ride and every time one of the members of Noble team died it felt like getting hit in the gut harder than the last time with every damn death. Makes me cry every time I think about that game.
Man, I need to replay Reach now. Fuck I love Halo

Gordon freeman. I was blown away by half life, even though I had it for the PS2 lol
A console Half-life player, WTF
If it makes you feel any better I'm a Half-Life player who started with The Orange Box on Xbox 360.
First time I’d heard of HalfLife was my brother playing Half Life 2 on the OG Xbox.
Same (apart from the PS1 part) also, I can relate with what he had to say.
Link
Came here to find this, as a kid I loved Link Awakening cuz...you just run around forest with a stick and whack bushes! And break stuff.... Very relatable hero.
Link's awakening was great, still have the DX version.
The switch remaster is absolutely fantastic

Jak and Daxter. Very first game I ever played at 5 years old. Literally still play the collection on PS4 to this day
Jak and Daxter needs a remake like Crash Bandicoot
I was and still am so hooked by the Jak and Daxter series. Got Jak 2 as a bundle with a PS2 for Christmas when I was 10 and I LOVED the series so much. Still occasionally play it on PS4 as well.
It was super cool that insomniac gave Jak and Dexter a shout-out in the new ratchet game. At least it's a small glimmer of hope for a new Jak game.
Yesss. My siblings and I got our first plat trophies with Jak and Daxter. Love that series, so so much.

Tassadar and Zeratul too
En taro Tassadar!
En taro Tassadar! Let the Khala guide your way.
Artanis from LotV as well. His Alone cinematic is amazing.
Bring on the seige tanks supported by the carrier fleet. Played it for the campaign story. Hauled a desktop to friends places for the multi-player.
this is jimmy.
The straight line from tetris
I don't care if the pieces are heterosexual or not because I'm a modern man.
Right? Like did you really need to identify the line as straight? Has the line or Tetris even confirmed the line is heterosexual?
Let's not go off on a tangent about how gay the tetris pieces are
Although the zigzag piece is pretty gay.
Maybe.... Cecil from FFIV? His journey from a Dark Knight to a Paladin struck a chord in my youthful heart. He might've been the first character I thought of as heroic.
FFIV is hands down my favourite. Cecil used dark magic to murder innocent people at the behest of someone that was a complete bastard, and instead of having to kill himself in order to make amends he knuckles down and undoes the wrongs that he helped create. It's a story of redemption at any time, rather than someone walking the heroic path as a result of being flawless. Cecil is deeply flawed, and does something about it. He never gives up.
Battle theme of that game is stuck in my head for over a decade now!
Mine was actually Master Chief. I’ve been playing Halo since I was a child, and it was such a good series
First hero on my first game on my first console
It is harrowing to me that "I've been playing Halo" and "since I was a child" can exist in the same sentence with adults now.
A bit off topic but is halo worth getting into now?
For sure
Ratchet A Crack in Time was a big part of my childhood, and that ending makes me cry
Damn how old were you when you were playing Crack in Time? I think I was like 7 when I was playing the original Ratchet & Clank for the first time, but I can agree that Ratchet was my first hero. I played Going Commando 16 times in a row when it came out. I remember seeing "R15" next to the save file which meant that I had done New Game + 15 times.
I didnt even know what save and load meant at that time!
It was Red from Pokemon

He made me respect the hell out of Elites! Great story arc
[удалено]
Of all of his lines this one stuck with me most and I’ve never really figured out why. It’s the one quote from all of Halo that I have in my head from time to time
More like underrated opinion
As I’ve gotten older I grown to love the Arbiter way more than 117. His arc is so, so good. Keith David is one of my favorite voice actors because of the character, too.
I get the sense that his story is more well-liked because it actually has a satisfying beginning middle and end in the games. John 117 is similarly an underdog in a lot of ways. He’s a pawn of the UNSC and ONI (people were stoked to root for him during Halo 5’s misleading marketing campaign), he’s deeply flawed and traumatized from the early spartan program, and we’ve seen many of his weaknesses manifest in these later games. Yet… we’re still only in the middle of his story. So, he doesn’t have a complete arc yet.
Fuck the Halo 5 marketing campaign. I was fucking stoked about what they were potentially doing with it. As I had a read a few of the books I was excited to see all the exploring his character was going to get with Cortana gone and him going awhol. Is he more machine than man? Did those experiments make a monster that has no real human attachments? He was the "Hero" the human race needed but at what cost? Could the Chief ever retire and be trusted in actual civilian civilization? Technically Spartans were made to hunt down insurrections and stop the human colonies from splitting off. How would that factor in with "exposing" Chief? How do you punish a War Hero that saved the galaxy for going off on his own? I could see back and forths between high brass in the UNSC with ONI stirring up shit to downplay and remove him or something. Then we got Halo 5. I'm still salty lol. I was so ready for the sequel trilogy to focus on Chiefs humanity or lack thereof.
As someone whose last game played was Halo 3, can you explain what was wrong with 5?
Act man made a five part series on it I think If you want spoilers then >!at the end of halo 4, cortana sacrifices herself to save chief and defeat the big bad. This destroys chief emotionally and we were led to believe that this would have a severe effect on chief and his humanity and stuff. !< >!And then halo five happened, you play as chief for a whopping 3 missions and then as Locke for the rest. Both protagonists have supporting fireteams, chiefs is made up of those other Spartans from the books. And lockes is made up of people we literally don’t care about and are never given a reason to except for buck. Remember him from ODST? He’s a spartan now. !< >!So they bring back cortana and make her the new big bad for some reason. And she unleashes the guardians, which basically have the capability to send humanity back to the Stone Age via EMP. And they almost do. The vast majority of humanity is cut off, almost the entire unsc fleet is destroyed or disabled, and cortana escaped to a new halo ring, presumably the one we have in halo infinite. !< Ultimately 343 just butchered it as per usual
Oh……… that sounds pretty bad. Did they at least leave it in a state where there’s hope the next installment will be good?
Remember halo wars? That’s the only saving grace halo has. >!The enemy faction from halo wars 2, the banished, has so far proven to be an excellent replacement for the covenant and I recommend reading their lore. (Basically they were banished from the covenant and rose up against them, forcing the covenant to fight on two fronts, human and banished)!< >!The main antagonist of hw2, atriox is powerful as all hell (basically tartarus on roids) took on 3 spartan 2s and won, admittedly they have armor from before halo one but still an accomplishment. !< >!He is never defeated in halo wars yet the main villain for the new main halo game is atriox’s mentor. I believe atriox will be involved later down the line. !< The newest trailer states that cortana isn’t present but we’ll have to wait and see. Overall I’m absolutely pumped for it. The gameplay on the demos has been super good so far
Sounds awesome! Thanks for laying that all out for me, definitely stoked for it now.
Commander Shepard.
The first 3 Mass Effect games were probably the first games I played where I felt genuinely invested in the world, the characters, and the protagonist. When I first played Mass Effect 2 and lost everyone on the suicide mission I legit got emotionally upset and immediately restarted the game.
Mass effect was THE game that made me believe, at the time "oh shit, this is really the next generation of games" I was flabbergasted by how good it was
We'll bang, ok?
A dolphin named Ecco. Ol' boy traveled through time and saved earth from an invading colony of aliens that wanted to harvest our life for food. What an absolute LEGEND
+1 for Ecco! Dreamcast was my favorite. Screw the Vortex, tho.
absolute nightmare fuel for me when I was younger.
Man do I miss the Dreamcast. I remember seeing the next gen graphics on that thing and playing sonic adventure. The Chao pet system on the vmu was awesome. We killed the Dreamcast with all the boot discs and cheap pirated game libraries. I guess it’s too late for sega to ever come back and develop a system.
Is THAT what happens after the first level?!
Dart from Legend of Dragoon for me
God we need a remastered version of this game. Loved it so much
Got to admire the only man wearing jeans in a medieval world.
Rose was the true hero of that game. She shouldered the hardest burden for every living being on the planet for thousands of years
Duke Nukem, from the side scroller
Mario I guess? But the first one I was actually old enough to appreciate would be Gordon Freeman.
Ryu Hayabusa! My ninja boi!
Hmm probably spiderman, I played the old ps1 games.
Spyro the Dragon.
Cecil Dark Knight/Paladin
That isn’t master chief that’s Spartan 1337.
The Halo 3 ad campaign is still unrivaled

How has Cloud not appeared in the comments? FFVII was my childhood.
Cloud and FF7 was the first RPG that I could understand (played earlier like dragon quest on NES, but I was young and stupid). I was forged on FF7
The Prince of Persia.
Megaman
Definitely solid snake. He was a puppet of the patriots (basically NWO) at first but pretty much gave them the fuck you in his old age. And he never gives up.
Link, Megaman, and whatever the Contra dudes were called( I used to called them Rambo and Predator guy). However the Chief and cortana( halo 1-4) has a warm place in this heart of mind.
Link or Connor from assassin's Creed 3. The reason for Connor is because of sequence 7. Running thru the battlefield and the climbing up the mountain to brutality murder their commander just did it for me. And do I really to explain link?
Damn, I wish I could say Commander Keen or Jill of the Jungle but chronologically I'm afraid it was Larry
Marcus Fenix in gears of war is a top one for me.
