skillzdadirecta Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Another one of my top something list posts This is her personal list and I don't agree with it but it's worth discussing. 10. Garrus Vakarian - Mass Effect 9. Ichiban Kasuga - Yakuza Like a Dragon 8. Geralt -The Witcher 7. Kim Kitsuragi -Disco Elysium 6. Morrigan - Dragon Age 5. Cloud - Final Fantasy VII (?!) 4. Kassandra - Assasain's Creed Odyssey 3. Astarion - Baldur's Gate 3 2. Makoto Nijima -Persona 5 1. Johnny Silverhand - Cyberpunk 2077 (?????!!!) I get this is her personal list but... man. Also she limited herself to one character per franchise. Even with that, I would not have picked Cloud from FFVII (Sephiroth or Tifa) or ANYONE from Cyberpunk 2077. Maybe my mind will change once I finish Phantom Liberty. I'll have to think about my own list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Thanks for listing them. I'll have to watch the video to see her reasoning behind her choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t get into the whole Zelda action rpg debate from the 90s but you think do you think portable ops makes Snake count as a dog character or something?! As far the list Johnny Silverhand was one of the things I actually liked least about CP77 so ehhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't know about Link... not much to his character. Great games though. 1 minute ago, stepee said: As far the list Johnny Silverhand was one of the things I actually liked least about CP77 so ehhhh Yeah but was he a number one rpg character of all time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he’s a bit more likeable in PL. But I think part of that is just because there is less of him. Songbird, the character they introduce in PL is much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I'm going to be replaying Cyberpunk soon including Phantom Liberty but Johnny is kinda annoying in the game. He was my least favorite character and I actually like Keanu Reeves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I like Johnny a lot more in PL, particularly at the end of the story he has some growth. But Songbird is the best character in it, flaws and all. I really like the PL ending, at the least the way it played out for my choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 There is some serious "recency bias" in this list. My personal pick is the protagonist of Planescape: Torment known only as "The Nameless One". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 The line between what constitutes an RPG and what's not an RPG has become so blurred that it's probably no longer a meaningful distinction. For example, I have a hard time seeing the nu-God of War games as anything other tham RPGs, so Kartos might as well be in the discussion.

best3444 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I tried to give The Witcher 3 many chances and I can't for the life of me stand Geralt. His voice goes right through me and his "personality" is God awful. I know that has to do with him being a Witcher but fuck that series.

You're playing as Kratos and don't really have any say in shaping his character at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I’d have to think about it (and I will) but I will say Silverhand is way better than he has any right to be. I figured he’d be a minor character but anyone who has played the game knows he’s anything but. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 10. Garrus Vakarian - Mass Effect Fuckin' Shepard is the best character easily. Not that Garrus isn't good, but Shepard is the best. 9. Ichiban Kasuga - Yakuza Like a Dragon 8. Geralt -The Witcher 7. Kim Kitsuragi -Disco Elysium 6. Morrigan - Dragon Age 5. Cloud - Final Fantasy VII (?!) Ain't no way this emo ass bitch should ever make a top 10 list 4. Kassandra - Assasain's Creed Odyssey Never played it but I have very strong doubts. 3. Astarion - Baldur's Gate 3 Yeah, he's pretty good. 2. Makoto Nijima -Persona 5 No. 1. Johnny Silverhand - Cyberpunk 2077 (?????!!!) Hell fuckin no. I hated him. His existance took me out of the game. That character was called Keanu Reeves and never stopped being Keanu. Johnny Silverhand doesn't even exist. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 A few that come to mind: Yangus from DQ8, a little one note and stereotypical but loved him I think Arthur Morgan probably makes any serious list I do think Kim kitsurigi is an amazing character and should be recognized I love Nick valentine from fallout 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
