You get 2 choices.. Gamer content

And the question those choices relate to:

What 2 video game characters would you be and why?

Mine are Captain Price from CODMW and John Shepard from Mass effect.

These are the 2 rock hardest men in the game world, Noone comes close, Chuck Norris wishes he was this hard. One of these men has the temerity to "out facial hair" Norris with a finely crafted handlebar tache that redfines "a Selleck" (or as Price hopefully calls it, his "thigh tickler") and the other just straight "out-rock hard B*st*rds" Norris.

Yes thats right, I used "out-rock hard B*st*rds" as a verb.

Shepard was killed. He was spaced, burned up in re-entry and when he came back to life it just pissed him off a bit.

Shepard rocks the hot alien women too, Imagine the green chick from star trek, only hotter. Shepard hits that. Price? well.. he was SAS in the early 80's, and i reckon there's a string of hot diplomatic service women from London to Prague weeping because they won't experience the thigh tickler again.

Weapons? Yeah price likes his C4 with red dot sights and suppresor, but when it comes down to saving washington from russian invasion, only nuking your nations capital will do the job. Shepard has any number of cool future weapons which are basically mini railguns, but to be honest, he only uses them because holgraphic readouts indicating ammo type look cooler than merely headbutting his way through an enemy heavy weapons position. The man has style.

These are truly men who shave with straights.

If anyone says they want to be mario then you lose the right to shave your face with what some people consider to be a weapon

I would be Pacman in Pacman. I come across as being yellow, but I have no problem eating you, your friends, or your fruit

oh I get a second choice, hmm... it would have to be the yellow wheel in fantastic contraption. Once again, I come across as being yellow, but I will spin you right around baby

After some careful thought:

Captain Price, but from COD2. Anybody that regularly attacks an MG42 nest from the front with an Enfield and a cloth hat obviously has a pair too large to fit in a wheelbarrow. He also made it through the entire war without shooting MacGregor - and that speaks to his positive people skills. Lastly having been killed in COD, resurected for COD2, then battling baddies again for CODMW demonstrates he has more lives than a cat and I want to be just like him.

My second choice is Max Payne. If for no other reason, his name, but there are too many other reasons to count. Among them his ability to spin a noir yarn in clever patter that makes Mickey Spillane breaks down in tears, and his ability to carry a thousand pounds of weaponry under his leather jacket while doing bullet-time moves that makes Jet Li look like a club-footed toddler.

Ah yes, my hero!

:)

Max Payne but from the movie (I never watched it or played the game i hear the movie sucked and the game is good) why from the movie you ask, simple because Mila Kunis might be the best looking girl in Hollywood at the moment (Giada DeLuarentis is married).

2nd choice Cole Phelps from LA NOIRE a simple War hero turned butt kicking cop, I like him cause his character is well rounded and full.

This is assuming sport games are out correct? Cause Derek Jeter seems to have a great social life that I could have alot of fun with and I'm sure theirs an MLB game out there.

Mm nope. Any game you like,but sports games tend to have real people in them, we're talking here about characters created for video games.

First choice: Marcus Fenix from.Gears of War. Why? He knows humanity is pretty much doomed but instead of giving up, he keeps pushing. Plus he has a chainsaw bayonet. Not much is cooler than that. Oh, he also manages to inspire everyone that works with him and even though he knows the system is corrupt he sticks with it hoping and trying to change it.

#2: Cloud Strife.
Lots of hot Asian chicks want him. He has a giant sword. Breeds Chocobos. And has Knights of the Round. Who doesn't want to use that at work on occasion?

ohhh clouds a good one.. and tifa's where it's at

The Cougar from Red Dead Redemption, cause they kill EVERYTHING.

Boone from FE:NV. BOOM, headshot.

1. Gordon Freeman: he never has to say much (anything?) to get his point across, smart enough to get through his PhD, pick up and use alien weapons with no difficulty, plays "head-crab tennis" with a crow-bar and commands the respect of everyone around him.

2. Rather than a "want to be" I'll take my second choice as "anyone but" and name Isaac Clarke from Dead Space. Clever, resourceful and SO MESSED UP! Nope, don't want to be that guy!

Gordon Freeman, because he's intelligent and kicks ass.
Duke nukem because he is funny, gets action and kicks ass.

Leisure Suit Larry would be my one and only choice!

I would say Duke Nukem as well.

And second choice would be Super Mario. Rescues princesses and stomps on goombas! :D

No more shaving the manly way for you...

Dante from Devil may Cry 3-4
http://images.wikia.com/devilmaycry/...63/Dante_4.png
(all up to the upcoming version...he looks a bit too effeminate for my tastes in that)

Why? This is why:
[youtube]1ckzmUwN43o[/youtube]
[youtube]VHDwB2YHhD8[/youtube]

Relaxed, funny dude with kicka$$ fighting skills who doesn't even blink at anything that comes his way.

and for a second character:
http://www.toy-tma.com/wp-content/up...ighter-Ken.jpg
maybe Ken from Streetfighter 2 (and 3, and probably 4 as well...haven't checked it out yet.) he seems like he has fun with what he does.

I'll go with Drake from Uncharted because he's just the man.

Because I like so many video game story lines and characters, it's really hard to pick just two. But since I had a big infatuation with MMOs and (fantasy?) games in the past, my second would be Uther Lightbringer from WoW. Uther the Lightbringer - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

C'mon, man! Uther is from Warcraft! WoW isn't a game, it's a second job that you pay to have.

It's been a while since I've really gotten into a game with characters, but Mordecai from Borderlands is pretty awesome. I'll go with him as #1. #2 would be... um... Geralt from The Witcher or I was going to say the guy you play in STALKER, but when I think about it, his life must be really really terrible, so scratch that. So Mordecai and Geralt it is

LOL I agree and disagree with this. It is a reverse job for most people but I have to say once you get into the story lines, it's absolutely one of the best games ever made. I sold my account earlier this year after leaving it sit inactive for a while, but I still haven't found many games that compare.

The trick is to not fall into an addiction and obsess over raiding and item acquisition. Also, Uther is MAINLY from the Warcraft RPGs so the basis for my character is a little less nerdy than one strictly from WoW.


Most memorable character in any game I've played but not necessarily one I'd chose for my answer... Snake from Metal Gear or Kratos from GoW

Marcus Fenix...Gears of War franchise. Chose the hard road for a more fulfilling life. Knows the value of friendship. and what needs to be done.

Chrono....Chrono Trigger. Favorite Game. only reason.

Someone else has played stalker...? i thought i was the only one.. once you figure out how to make the bugs work for you it's an awesome game

I think the only acceptable choice from WoW is Leroy Jenkins. Everyone who's played WoW and enjoyed themselves has played the roll of Leroy at least once and gotten cursed at by a bunch of people over Ventrillo while doing so.

As a general rule, I don't exploit bugs. I enjoyed how challenging STALKER was at the beginning. I took my time through the midgame, gathering up insane gear and getting really good with it, and then stormed through to the end. It was, in my opinion, the best and most engaging FPS I have ever played.

I should have said worked around, I'm not a cheat user or anything like that, spoils the game, I knew a lot of people got so frustrated with this game they gave up on it early..

For example when entering an area, the game would forget to load up the NPC's, before i figured that out, i'd be ten minutes wandering about then all of a sudden the game would hang up, go again and i'd be surrounded on all sides by bandits. A fast quick save and reload sorted it out.

Other than that, nothing ca,me close to this game for me until the mass effects and fallout 3

Oh, you meant bad bugs. I never really ran into any. There were a few minor trigger type issues, but nothing like what you're describing. And a few graphics issues as well. And sometimes the poor translations caused problems.

I still amazes me how much I liked it, given all the technical issues...

i think the 1.3 or whatever patch sorted that out, the trigger could be laggy at times.

It just kind of sucked me in. I was hooked when i was creeping about in the dark and saw a bandit with his light on (had night vision) then i saw another stalker crep out from behind a bush and blast him in the back of the head. The AI was incredible, game had tremendous personality. played it start to finish 3 times and the game was completely different each time.

I even thought the bad translation was endearing lol

I half agree but Leeroy isn't a character of WoW he's a player. If we're using players, I'd chose me :) haha

Not two characters I'm like, but my two favorite characters from video games would have to be...

Commander Shepard from the Mass Effect trilogy because you can really make his story your own (and believe me, I've clocked over 150 hours and 1 and 2 alone) and John Marston from Red Dead Redemption because he's so REAL. He's happy one minute and angry the next and he is the single-most human character I've ever seen from any video game I've ever played, and I've played quite quite quite a few.

Oh, runners up include Isaac Clarke from Dead Space 1 and 2 and Duke Nukem from all fifty thousand of his games released.

Played STALKER a lot (still do) the original and all others after it. I got them on all on a weekend deal from Steam and didn't notice any bugs to speak of. Of course, by that time and with the automatic upgrades through Steam any bad buggies were probably already fixed.

As far as immersive gameplay Hidden and Dangerous II gets my vote for that. I can remember spending countless hours working through the stealth missions just to get the team out without ever raising an alarm or getting wounded. Yea... I'm wierd like that...

Currently working on Splinter Cell - Conviction trying to not ever be detected (on the levels where it's actually possible)... proving to be a real challenge...

:D

clear sky crashed on me constantly.. then on day it crashed and wouldn't load up the save games citing they were created under a different patch version of the game.. they weren't. i lost 20 maybe more hours and a LOT of good kit great armour, upgraded rifles of all designations and types... was not happy, haven't reinstalled it again

I love Steam. I got Prey for 5 bucks from them. A very underrated game, IMO.

I really don't see the need to ever buy games on discs again. I also agree Prey is a great game.

Speaking of Steam, anyone play TF2?

used to be addicted but haven't played in quite a while.. CS too

Very true. Underrated and quite innovative. I bought it in a bargain bin for €3

I bought it for a ripoff price off the App Store for my MacBook Pro, but I must say... I love it and I can't wait til Prey 2 gets released.

At first I typed Portal 2 there... didn't mean to, but Prey DID inspire Portal...
So there's two more characters for me... GLaDOS and Cave Johnson :)

My first choice would be Kratos from the god of war series. He is so bad ass. I mean he took on the gods!

And my second choice would be Cole from infamous. Just because I always wanted to shoot lightning at people lol.
