Gaming's Greatest Characters

[PIMO133]

Cpt.Price? Soap? Gaz? Ghost? Tommy Vercetti? He? I think they're legendary

[xHugoxN7]

commander shepard

[HeadshotProductio100]

Wander from Shadow of the Colossus.

[patrick22014]

@HeadshotProductio100 Yeah, but nobody knows Wander :/ he´s fucking bad ass!!

[BionicBear97]

Master chief and the Assasins creed guy are so Bad ass !!!

[ConsurgoTitanus]

These are the greatest characters of the 21 first century.

But what about the ones that built on these guys? Nice video, (love the song from mass effect) but you only have the characters from a few games.

Wheres mario, link, luigi, wario, pikachu, ganandorf, zelda, donkey kong, kirby, samus, snake, solid snake, cassandra & sophitia.

I could go on all day, but awesome video. Those are definitely my favorite characters right now.

[PhatLad321]

@ConsurgoTitanus Absolutely. I made this video a few years ago now and in retrospect, should definitely have called "My Favourite Characters" or something. Although video clips of a lot of older characters would simply not have fit well in my video.

[wmja896]

John Marston

[PhatLad321]

@wmja896 Haha could not agree more. Possibly the best character for like a decade but I made this video before Red Dead Redemption was even announced :P

[bmatyas]

Dude Gordon Freeman? Solid Snake? Where are they?!

[euromellows]

Good list. I concur with the comments re Revan from Knights of the Old Republic, or at least Darth Malak as a spectacular villain.

[Drakenus12]

Where is Price of Persia?

[knoyle]

I notice a lack of Snake, from the Metal Gear Solid Games. :P Other than that, nice job!

[imperial1scout]

I was sitting here thinking If this guy knows about Duke then how isn't Gordon Freeman on this list? Or Alyx? But then I tried to figure out how you would show them. You might be able to do Alyx, but Goron... a hand and Crowbar maybe?

[ChrisVattic]

@imperial1scout There are plenty of pictures of Gordon, Google will help you.

And yeah, I think he should have been included as well, but nice video nonetheless :)

[imperial1scout]

@ChrisVattic Yeah, but including the pictures wouldn't fit with the rest of the video. Hey, maybe he should have included the TF2 characters. All of 'em. Those guys are great.

[kro235]

Needs some of the famous villians. Kerrigan comes to mind, or even sovreign. You also need gordon freeman. Hmm perhaps you've stuck mainly to consoles which is cool.

[sstarrlind]

What about Solid Snake?

[SamoJaSamFaca]

Dante, and prince are missing

[alaskinator]

I agree Shepard is the best

[lordxeras]

you sorta forgot Alyx and Gordon

[alaskinator]

@lordxeras TRUE! Half-life is second only to Mass Effect dude

[kgraham15]

@midnighttoke87 that was marcus before the original gears of war came out.by that i mean they changed his appearance before they released the game.

[rix1995sky]

it's funny. I was listening to the Jurassic park theme when i was watching this and the Theme fit perfectly. try it.

[shauna511]

BITCH SLAP!!! XDDD 4:46

[1ZeroTwo64]

Master Chief and Niko Belic FTW

[Fale55]

360 biased much!?!

[DeadThouusand]

@Fale55 sorry, but all the best charecters of gaming are based from xbox 360 games, sorry but that's how it is..

[Fale55]

@DeadThouusand That is debatable considering this video contains characters from 3rd party games.

[Sharagran]

@DeadThouusand You mean only in this video or of all time?

[DeadThouusand]

@Sharagran look, im not going to start a war between PS3 and xbox 360 in this video, but xbox is better with more cool ass charecters, like master chief

[Sharagran]

@DeadThouusand I don't care. That's your opinion and I respect that, just don't claim it to be a fact.

[DeadThouusand]

@Sharagran omg! realy u r the kind of person i want everybody to be. sorry that i was being rude so quickly, i was going to know that u were being some annoying troll but... i dont know, it seems that i have had to deal with so many trolls lately.... yeah my real opinion is that both PS3 and xbox360 are awesome and eny of them arent eny better

[PhatLad321]

@Fale55 I am guilty :\

[ConsurgoTitanus]

@Fale55 assassin's creed--> multi platform >.>

Mass effect--> multi platform -.-

grand theft auto --> muti platform _ _'

Your lack of information stuns me. You have a long way to go young padawan.

[Fale55]

@ConsurgoTitanus Thanks for further proving my point :D

[ConsurgoTitanus]

@Fale55 ...?

[akademien1]

WTF man, you forgot all the MGS Characters (atleast Solid Snake should be there) and some character from the Final Fantasy franchise.

[PhatLad321]

@akademien1 A snake of some description should certainly be there I agree. But Final Fantasy? Hell no.

[SamoJaSamFaca]

Ryu and Altair.

Prince and Dante(not inside)

[lcromy]

All shown where great games. Loved em!

[bowmanlr66]

4:19 through 4:36 is strait up badass

[PhatLad321]

@bowmanlr66 Thankyou very much :)

[TyylerS]

1:13 who is that

[PhatLad321]

@TyylerS that is Sam Fisher, from Splinter Cell.

[TyylerS]

@PhatLad321 couldnt recognize him

[PhatLad321]

@TyylerS That's because I used some announcement trailer for the latest game, at which time he looked like a hobo for some reason. Probably should've used something better.

[charger619c]

Shepard is a bad mothafucka if you play like i do

[Finixlives]

@charger619c Renagade! :D

[seige2mmrs]

You also should have included Revan from Knights of the Old Republic and Captain McMillan or Ghost from the Modern Warfare games.

[PhatLad321]

@seige2mmrs Revan! Man where were you when I was making the video?! He/she should definately have gone in. That has to be the best suggestion yet :D

[seige2mmrs]

Pac man and mario are for pussies. Mass Effect FTW its the best game i've ever played. Marcus Fenix is a badass too and so is the cheif from the Halo trilogy. Can't wait till Reach! I didn't see Isaac from Dead Space though. By far the best horror game ever. Also you shouldve put in Joker from ME. And also Saren is my butler.

[LordBicen]

What? No Pac-Man or Mario? It all did start with them ya know...

[Dyiad]

@LordBicen yeah, but they aren't really badass are they now?

[ChiefBloodrain]

You forgot Snake and Kratos :<

[Finixlives]

@ChiefBloodrain ill second that! it needs snake for sure...havnt played God of War though

[doddsy89]

Just looked at my games: Some of the MW2 characters are pretty cool, Soap, Ghost...

[doddsy89]

Shepard is win. So are Saren, Ezio, big daddies, Master Chief and Nicko

[PhatLad321]

Agreed kind sir, hence the video :D

[doddsy89]

Haha yeah, I know that was kind of a dumb comment. However, it was originally just going to be 'Shepard is win', but as I watched I found it hard to leave out some of the others!

Nice video, love the song. Made me not want to skip the credits for once.

[bjd020695]

I think Ezio was a little cooler than Altair. Just sayin'.

[PhatLad321]

Agreed, but this video was made before ACII was even announced :D

[bjd020695]

Yeah, I figured. I didn't look at the date on the video. =P

[DarkElfDiva]

Sonic is not in this video.

Phatlad321 is a falsehood.

[PhatLad321]

Lmao, sorry but I know Sonic is an 'icon' but he's not really that cool now is he? A blue hedgehog that comes out with the worst lines I've ever heard?

[luishomeroremohsiul]

where is PYRAMID HEAD?

[strikerk]

The creator of this video was born after 1992. Enough said.

[PhatLad321]

If you're yet another person complaining that there is not Mario, Sonic etc, then maybe you should know that I deliberately left these characters out as none of them, in my humble opinion are decent characters. They're not cool (Mario is an Italian plumber) and they've not even got a developed character. And the fact that I was born IN 1992 (get you're facts right) has nothing to do with it.

[strikerk]

Uhm, no, that's not what I meant at all.

Just saying your awful taste in characters reflects your age.

It's obvious, I mean I don't even know a thing about you and I pretty much got the year down. :/

[PhatLad321]

Awful taste? As apposed to just saying that the obvious ones are the best? OK mate.

[strikerk]

Dude, you got Hitman, Chief, the guy from Assasins Creed and GT4 in there....nvm. -_- You're too young to understand.

Props on Mass Effect in there though, not a game your type tends to enjoy, though seeing how Mass Effect 2's combat was amped up and made more "shooter"-ish, maybe I speak too soon.

Cheers.

[PhatLad321]

Your type? Get a grip mate seriously. If you're trying to suggest I only play shooters, which if you know your genres you wouldn't be, then maybe if I told you I wanted to include Kane from C&C, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Abe from Abe's Odysee then you'd realise that you don't know me at all. The only reason I didn't include any of these is because I couldn't get any decent trailers of any of them. I didn't really want to use the low quality one of Lara Croft but felt she had to go in.

[fargoau]

@strikerk

you Sir, sound like a real Wayne Kerr

[PhatLad321]

@fargoau you Sir, sound like a sound guy :D

[PhatLad321]

haha, were you talking about CJ from San Andreas?

[Raybi3z]

oh yea and u have no WESKER form RE

[Raybi3z]

well uno,they are the characters that defined gaming,just cos u dont like them doesnt mean they are not the greatest characters u have hitman in there,hes a failboat

[PhatLad321]

Clearly you missed the 'according to PhatLad321', which is why my argument is completely valid. And the idea that they 'defined' gaming doesn't make them the greatest now does it?

[Protoking]

I didn't really think M4 part 2 went will with this vid, but that's just IMO.

[J01LYROG34]

this is more like Xbox 360's greatest characters, and was it nessecary to show that whole Bioshock trailer.

[Raybi3z]

gaming greatest characters?For starters you dont have mario and luigi that is where gaming began,you also dont have Gordon freeman?G-Man?no snake metal gear solid?no starfox?Wut.this trailers just commander shepard master chief and bioshock for 3 quaters of the video oh and SAMUS from metroid prime,you missed her 2 ;/

[PhatLad321]

Just about all of the characters you mentioned I don't think are all that good. Mario is an Italian plumber, Luigi is his mate. Gordon and G-Man are probably the best ones you mentioned but still, Freeman is a silent scientist with a crowbar.

[seth83pl]

nicely made, u took best from everything =]

[ProgrammedForDamage]

That was surprisingly well edited and had a good host of characters. M4 Part II fits nicely with it.

[PhatLad321]

Thankyou kind sir.

[rexrex22]

Solid Snake ...

[kulgan18]

I think you missed gordon freeman.

[PhatLad321]

I didn't want to include Freeman. Don't get me wrong, that dude has some adventures (I have played Half-Life) but I don't think he's developed as a character enough or just downright cool enough. I mean, he's a scientist that hits things with a crowbar. He hasn't even got superpowers!

[opticannon]

two words.....max payne

[PhatLad321]

Good shout. Should have included him.

[MasterKman0]

he also doesn't talk

[StntDbl83]

Cool to see Jackie Estacado in there. St. Mary's Orphanage was probably one of the most powerful scenes I've seen in game this generation.

[PhatLad321]

Agreed, finally a man of taste :D

[sean501st]

to tell the Truth the only ones i'd say where good is The Duke, and Niko the rest are just meh...

[monstar34]

dude where kratos and the [prince and alex mercer the are kick ass chracter

[VejayIBejay]

Alex Mercer is a douche. The game is great, but the guy has a serious guido complex.

[monstar34]

@VejayIBejay hes not a douche hes just very very angry. i mean like really put yourself in his place. and he has some of the most badass powers ever!!

[VejayIBejay]

He's very angry? He tried to blackmail Gentek with a Blacklight virus, dropped the thing and put all of Manhattan on agent orange for a lil' bit o' cash. Then he proceeds dropping a nuke into the ocean (okay that was actually nice of him) and killing every goddamn person in the world. And man, look at his face, he looks like goddamn Fonzi.

[monstar34]

@VejayIBejay hey but hes got bad ass powers

[draconis311]

lol your mom has a serious guido complex she cant get enough hahahah

[chadtalbot]

This is really, really well done. Strong work sir.

[PhatLad321]

Why thankyou.

[Cory656]

Nice

[0SCARANDADRIANSHOW]

duke nukem looks a fag...there i said it

[kevinisawesome449]

yes. duke nukem. badass.

[aangpowns]

wheres samus

[OskarStr]

I think all charakters of Mass Effect are the greatest. :-)

[robbert802]

and plus what about scorpion and reptile smoke noob ermac they were pretty much some of the first ninja charecter im pretty sure without them nija gaiden and altair probaly wouldnt exist

[robbert802]

why is it that on gow1 game video on yt marcus looks like a old man but when i play gow1 he look same as gow2

[MutalatedSpoon]

Kane and Lynch should be on here! but i have to give you kudos for no Final Fantasy characters!

This was probably one of the first videos i have seen with Jackie Estacado in it! hes soooooo underrated!

[PhatLad321]

Hell yeah, Estacado is awesome.

[TheEzioAuditore]

Lara Croft

[saitoe503]

Does anyone know when those bioshock clips were in the game?

[jotatsu]

The trailer of the game, there is no actual ingame cutscenes with that.

[saitoe503]

Thanks, i thought i was missing out on something.

[PIGWIDGEONx]

They were in the start menu video. If you wait it shows it

[PhatLad321]

Wow, I didn't know that. I just got these clips from the interwebs.

[PizzaDude95]

the videos for bioshock, halo, mass effect, and gears of war are the sweetest..=p

[belliott01]

errrm, what happened to some final fantasy and devil may cry characters? gd vid tho, oh, and link!!!!

[foolonthehillz]

We need Kain and Dante here. . . .

[Gsidez10]

i know people are going to hate me for this, but i think the master chief is one of the worst. he has almost no personally and everything he said was like a recycled 'badass' stereotype

[PsychoticPeace]

At least his voice is badass xD

[PhatLad321]

You're right, the Chief has next to no personality but he's not on here for that. He's on here because he has the coolest suit ever, can kick a lot of alien ass and is so corny it's cool.

[Gsidez10]

fair enough :)

[Wolfoftheazuresky]

Yeah but as a character, duke nukem, master chief, altair and even marcus fenix have next to no personality. They're cool, but not very good characters.

[kevinisawesome449]

the other ones yeah, but everyone just loves duke nukem because of his lines and marcus fenix accually has alot of character development in the games and books

[crazychimp321]

i think shephard is the most likeable character, and i mean that in the straightest way possible!!

[MutalatedSpoon]

is someone a little usure of his sexuality?

[josipsertic]

wtf?????where is Old Snake,Raiden,Vamp,Wesker,Dante­...??omg!!!!

[josipsertic]

yeaaaaa Sam Fisher!!

[pap3rplat3]

master chief/john sheppard for the win!!!

[tldragonking]

always friend! :D

[HugoMossK187]

Dude sick vid but what about Metal Gear Solid? they have some pretty wicked characters, you should of had Snake from MGS series

[PhatLad321]

I wanted to include Snake but at the time of making this video I couldn't find any videos of a decent quality :(

[spike75racer]

Epic Video =]

I'm Not Gonna Complain About Cool Characters That Aren't In It Because I Play Too Much Video Games

And There Are ALOT Of Awesome Characters Too Many To Put In One Video =]

Heard The Song At The End Of Mass Effect IT'S AWESOME :]

The 2nd One's Out This Year HELL YEAH! ^-^

[N1gh7w4lk3r]

Five stars for the editing job, and for putting the Duke first. At this point, we need the Duke back more than ever.

[PhatLad321]

Thanks for the comment, and I agree... it's ass-kicking time.

[kraid117]

Meh this gets three stars simply because

Link

Mario

Samus

DK

Ganondorf

Saren

Wrex

Are not on the list, but other then that not a bad list.

[PhatLad321]

Link is wierd, Mario is Italian, Samus is again...weird, DK is a gorilla, Ganondorf sounds like Gandalf, Saren is technically in there and Wrex has too many testicles.

[potterbond007]

probably the only games u own..

[PhatLad321]

Gamertag = Olly Overcharge

^Check it out if you want to be proven horribly wrong^

[Darthair]

Nice vid. I love that song, too, it just says epic to me (probably because I first heard it in the credits at the end of Mass Effect :D )

If I'd been making this, I'd have added Wrex too though ;)

[PhatLad321]

My thoughts exactly on the song :D.

I didn't add Wrex though because for me he was a bit weird. Although he does have three balls (I think).

[kalashnikov5160]

lol alright bro just keep telling yourself youre "epik" and im "phail". and maybe this "victory" will give you a hard on at night when you jack off to pictures sephiroth, squall, ansem and sora

[OmegaJaguar]

and kala i love who u avoided hitting "reply" so i wouldnt see what you said about me lol. your such a coward lmao and its cute how u cant spell. epic not epik. dont expect a reply next time. goodbye bitch

[BrinstarMage]

a bit of constructive critisism:

you should post the game people are from either in the video (overlay or transition) or in the description.

Otherwise, I like the vid, the music rocks. I just have no idea who a few of those people even are, which is sad because they looked like cool games

[OmegaJaguar]

wow this phails...what about cloud. sephiroth...squall....ansem...­sora...wow seriously lol. u havent played the real games ^^;

[Fuhjem]

Final Fantasy doesn't count. Twelve year old girls with bad hair and giant swords in random battles are never included in something about great gaming characters.

[OmegaJaguar]

you sac of shit go to hell. ff rapes thats flaming hit man and or those other games. thats why they made more money? yea that sounds about right. see any decent merchandice for shit like siphon filter? christ. final fantasy is real games. just cuz ur whipped and only play simple games mr.trailer trash dont mean u gotta take it out on the real artists. the only game that comes close to beating FF is Halo. and i can kick you ass at it l8er if u want lol. stupid virgin

[Fuhjem]

To-OmegaJaguar

why does your profile pic look like you are giving an invisible blowjob?

[OmegaJaguar]

lmao to fag: why do youtubers try personal attacks wen they cant win arguments? lmao your such a loser lol

[Fuhjem]

haha, you know, I bet we could've been friends under different circumstances. I have no problem with Final Fantasy, it's a good series with great games. I just like to argue. But seriously, you're funny.

[OmegaJaguar]

lmao no shit. thats an epic phail right there xD

[kalashnikov5160]

jesus christ omega youre such a fucking faggot HURR EPIC PHAIL EPIC PHAIL XD XD IM SO COOL BCUZ I KNOW ABOUT SHITTY GAMES AND CAN ARGUE ABOUT DEM OVER INTERNET XD

[OmegaJaguar]

see this is why i dont ask for opinions of trailer trash. just cuz U cant afford "dem" games doesnt mean i care about your bitching. immigrant

[kalashnikov5160]

ok so first im trailer trash, now im an immigrant? it seems youre ignorant and uneducated too

maybe you should put down your goddamn overrated, faggy games and learn how to identify social statuses

[OmegaJaguar]

ys of course :) ur an immigrant who couldnt get a real life so they live in a trailer park now. and now ur trailer trash :D ur the one whos bitching at me lmao ur jus ta lowlife dont worry tho bud. ugly ppl will always find each other. one day u will have sum1 =] ur just a pathetic child lol

[kalashnikov5160]

lol wow. that was the most incoherent block of text ive ever read, not only that but it looks like a 14 year old girl on myspace wrote it. ugh this isnt even funny anymore its just fucking annoying. so stop replying

[OmegaJaguar]

wow what a comeback lol. cant win an argument so you try and run :) okae i get it. ur a bitch =D ill let you go back to your skrub gaming lmao have fun cosmo

[PhatLad321]

I'm guessing FF is your favourite game. Please don't shove that down our throats though. And please note that at the start of the video it does say "Gaming's Greatest Characters - ACCORDING TO PHATLAD321"/

[OmegaJaguar]

lol i wasnt i was just saying lol.

[Terrin123456789]

altier ruins it

[tldragonking]

you kinda ruin it too

[Terrin123456789]

how is altier a great gaming character, how, the gameplay is better than his character, i like assassins creed a like altier but he is not a great character

[tldragonking]

i was joking, but everyone has his own opinions on characters in a gaming franchise, for starters i prefer master chief rather than samus aran or marcus phoenix. and i respect your opinion but i was trying to relax to a nice tune, scrolling dow until your message kinda gave it a down mood. sorry for that.

[Terrin123456789]

DUDE MASTER CHIEF HALO 3 buddy whenever i played halo all i get are little kids when i play it, master chief has turned himself into a babysiter YES HE IS FOR BABIES and i have said to others that all i like from spore is making characters it think the gameplay is shit i thought the game was a let down and i hope it gets raped in all holes just to show you i only find the character creation to be fun but that just simply doesnt matter does it, i think you were mistaken

[tldragonking]

if i offended you in anyway ( wich i did ) i do appoligyse but you're right and i'm sorry for what i said before ok? and yes i was mistaken. i'm truly sorry.

[Terrin123456789]

its my fault asshole, jk

[tldragonking]

alright lets pretend this din'd ever happen, it's nobody's fault ok?

[Terrin123456789]

dude master chief is for toddlers since every kid that owns an xbox well almost every kid plays halo, its rated m not e shit i wish parents would listen to the rating and i only liked the character creation in spore, the rest of the game sucks as i have said earlier in my reply to one idiot that i had never met

[tldragonking]

just don't call me an idiot. only my friends are allowed to to that. :P

[ootdega]

Nice, dude. XD

[tldragonking]

wich comment did you prefer?

[ootdega]

All of them XD You didn't even take him seriously. Nice. Respect to you.

[tldragonking]

show respect to me, and i'll do the same too you.

[ootdega]

I do. And it's great rule to follow.

[tldragonking]

now you're talking my style, seriously tough, he din'd respect me so i won't do the same. he din'd followed the rules, so now... wel... so there!

[ootdega]

XD Keep up the good work.

[tldragonking]

i will

[cooper2850]

nice vid

i love this song

[PhatLad321]

So do I, it's awesome.
