Hau and Hop from Pokémon Gen 7 and Gen 8 irrationally piss me off every time I have to deal with them. Hop is better by a lot, but the bar is on the floor.
I miss when rivals were complete assholes to you. Not morons.
Also just the general conversation between JD and Del in Gears of War 4. The characters are fine. It’s just that every single step forward is met with some snarky little quip or joke. Every time. It takes so much of the seriousness away that made the first three games, and Judgment, feel so much more immense.
There’s an unfortunate dilemma there. When someone makes a Darth Vader or Joker character, many people like them, but some like them without a trace of irony, and genuinely feel that the Empire should kill those horrible rebels and that chaos should reign in Gotham. And that gestures America.
Back when 16 bit graphics were cutting edge, we thought they were getting close to photorealistic. It’s crazy seeing screenshots of games that I thought looked amazing at the time.
Fucking Navi. If I ever hear “Hey, Listen” again in my life it will cause me to go postal. Its was probably part of a CIA mind control experiment that will issue a kill order to all millenials. Fuck that stupid fairy.
Handsome Jack. Most people find him funny-hateable, but I just found him gratingly annoying. I got two hours into BL2 and quit, then never came back. Which was a pity, because I was playing it with my wife and we had a blast with BL1.
Dude’s a huge prick the moment you meet him, with his irritated, condescending tone. Then he sends his goon after you and lies about it. “Oh, Ensha? He just got a little ahead of himself. It’s all good, you killed him didn’t you? No harm, no foul.”
Then he tries to stop you from claiming the Elden Throne because… He’s jealous? He’s lost his fucking mind over the fact you, a lowly Tarnished, managed to get that far? I really don’t know. It’s a bit confusing, well beyond other weird shit in a Fromsoft game, and part of it could just be how this game in particular was a collaberative effort with GRRM and there is likely a huge difference in what Martin wrote for the backstory, and how Miyazaki “corrupted” it.
I really don’t understand the dude. Maybe there’s an item description that would give some context… 🤔
(in the 'written to be hated on purpose" category) Ted Faro from Horizon Zero Dawn, every time you hear his name, it goes “and then he did something worse” . Fuck Ted Faro. Also he’s literally Elon Musk, and that was years before he went full Nazi.
