Best Video Game Protagonists
John Marston is just a relatable guy. He's not even a good guy by normal standards. He has a not-so-great past, but he's trying to rid himself of it and just have a solid, safe future did his family. Marston is malleable to the player, but still has his own character. The player truly feels connected to him, and his undeserved betrayal and death immortalized him in gamer's minds as the best video game character of all time. He is truly the only fictional character whose death crushed me
One of the best video game protagonists ever. John Marston is a very complex character. His flaws and past crimes make him seem like a real person, and his redemption quest is one of the most touching stories in video game history.
Best video game protagonist ever!
He is great because of the realism.
He is awesome
His leadership impress all of UNSC Rank, even Fleet Admiral Hood was impressed by his progress during Human Covenant war. Even he's not the strongest SPARTAN, he was acknowledged by all SPARTAN as leader of SPARTAN's because of his natural leadership. Even the SPARTAN who ranks above him will gladly following his order because of John-117's great leadership.
Because of what he stands for; freedom, and survival. He is a very strong character, yet is kind to other soldiers and sometimes puts their safety ahead of his own showing that even though he is a tough soldier, he is also a caring commander. This is why I believe he should forever be in the top 3 best protagonists of all time.
Master Chief is so epic and awesome. He's the reason why the halo franchise was so popular.
I don't know why he's so awesome, maybe it's the way he speaks, maybe its he's fighting skills, maybe it's because he can jump so high, I don't know. All I know is that he is the coolest protagonist ever.
FINALLY! A list where halo is not underrated! I am so glad Mario is not top top ten!
Kratos is súper bad@ss. Sure, he has a bad temper and such but leave the fight to Kratos and some other video game protagonist who thinks they're cool and you'll see who will win.
I like ezio better than altair and that is because of his person he was more calm
Why the hell is Arthur only at number 15?! This character is one of the best protagonists in gaming history. Yes, he's surprisingly better than John. This guy should be at least in the top 5.
The way you can connect to Arthur in RDR2 is just... incredible... best video game character in my opinion
I didn't think John Marston could be topped. I was wrong.
Playing as Arthur made Red Dead 2 as great as it was
My favorite protagonist and antagonist of all time. I like his suit up and arrogance in Prototype 2. Definitely, he is the one that stands out from the others.
Solid Snake is one of the greatest protagonists. He starts off as a rookie with great potential, to a hero then a terrorist, and finally this aged legend. His voice, his stoic yet good natured personality and the chemistry he shares with others always puts a smile to my face.
I don't think you can define a better hero in any game. As mislead and misguided as he is within the entire series, Snake always finds a way to do what he believes is best for the rest of mankind, as opposed to his own welfare. A true hero at heart, with unbelievable abilities
Snake defines awesomeness. Being included in Brawl was awesome, and if he's not included in ssb4, I might not even get it. The only way snake could be more epic is... Wait, he can't even get anymore epic.
Snake get up, stop messing around. Snake? Snake? SNAKE?!
Boi he is free
