Most Overrated Video Game Characters
Overrated... It's like comic makers can live one minute without seeing a picture of sans. He gets into everything, even when he doesn't belong. While it's annoying seeing characters like foxy, and charizard, and herobrine everywhere, Sans gets in things that have nothing to do with undertale. Also, people think he is a pure hearted nice guy who will kill any person he meets, when he's the oppisite. He doesn't care about his brother, or his timeline. He doesn't care about anyone, and will only fight if you are a threat to him. And everyone thinks megalovania is the only good song toby created when there is an ost of hundreds of songs.
Sans is my least favorite main character in Undertale. First of all, he's lazy to the point where he lets all his friends and family DIE because of a promise he made to a woman whose name he doesn't even know, when he could have easily protected them. He also lets Asgore take the blame for the dead humans when HE is the one who killed them (think about it, how else would Papyrus and Undyne have NEVER encountered a human before the events of the game? ). But he makes puns, and the fandom seems to find him attractive(please don't ask me why), so he must be the best character, right?
In a world where Mario is more popular and has way less personality, how is Sans consider more overrated?. At least Sans is sometime appreciated for good reasons, even though I agree that there is too much images of him. He is deep, he is funny, and his fight is great. If you want to know more about why Sans is great, check my comment about Sans in the top 10 video game characters list.
People think he'a OH SO powerful, but in reality, he's the weakest character in the game! His KR is the only reason his fight is hard in the first place, and that only works on people with bad karma! He stand ZERO chance against ANY characters with good karma like MARIO or Shovel Knight!
First: Gordon Freeman is the greatest character in video games.
The question: Why the hell is he the first in the list when he is nothing else than an empty shell of a character and things just happen around him?
Second: The answer - Well... Gordon Freeman is the greatest character, because he a unique person. He is the only scientist in video games. Gordon Freeman never talks, because you decide what character will be he and if you think he is an empty shell, that's because your imagination maybe is empty.
Some other reasons why Gordon is so badass:
1. The crowbar
2. The gravity gun
3. Alyx Vance
4. D0G
5. HEV Suit
6. He can survive in a zombie apocalypse... wait... he's already survived in one.
7. (Last but not least) The word "hazard" means nothing for him.
Gordon Freeman is just a bland character. It's not the fact that he's silent that bothers me, its that he lacks a personality. He has no character traits. He can be replaced with anyone and the game would mostly be the same. Valve said he's silent for immersion, but why give him an official appearance and backstory. Last time I checked, most people aren't physicists. How about making it like KOTOR or Fallout, where you can design your own appearance, and can choose what you want to say. That would be great. Or just give him a voice. And before you go 'Eugh, but when Samus got a voice she became terrible,' just remember, Jak was also a silent protagonist but when he got his voice, he became a much better character. Also, it is possible to have a personality and be silent. Look at Crash Bandicoot for example. We knew what kind of a character he was without him speaking a word, so there is no excuse for this bland, faceless character that can easily be replaced or improved.
"He is too silent", that's what people think about Gordon so they think this character is overrated, in fact he is just like one of the best heroes in video game. He is just regular scientist with a regular HEV suit who fights his way to Lambda Core, even though the Black Mesa is surrounded by HECUs and Xens, Gordon can do such a lot of things with his single crowbar, He is very great, which lead G-Man to recruits him in his place.
P.S: I don't want Gordon can talk, his silentness is good enough for me
Gordon Freeman was once voted #1 on the Top 50 best video game characters of all time. But why? He's just an empty shell of a character and things just happen around him.
Rosalina is like an Elsa case. Overrated, heavily marketed, and riddled with a rabid fanbase that will put anyone down if they have any genuine subjective problems with her. She's an absolute piece of wood (but unlike Elsa, she has a backstory) but most of her praise comes from 12 year old fanboys who'll jerk off to any "sexy" looking thing with an emo bang. I have never seen any other female character with a kajillion self inserts, fetish "art" and shots of her assets other than Misty (Google search her. I dare you). They all defend her primarily for her looks because if you even mention the word "Space Peach" these little brats get triggered immediately and start blasting your inbox with pages defending her and why she looks so "unique" ranging from unofficial star shaped iris' to the shape of her boobs. I don't care about the Mario Princesses to be honest with you, but when Rosalina got confirmed for Smash, everyone kept bashing on me because I preferred to use Meta Knight rather than Rosalina, because according to every tourneyf**, she's OP. I'm sorry, did your OP waifu ever got banned because she's OP? I didn't think so.
This needs to be number 1 on this list because, he gets so much popularity than the other characters in the game. And by the way, why do so many people like this character.
Sorry foxy fans but I just hate foxy. He's extremely overrated and I find it stupid that people say he's a good guy and that he was just checking on you. The fnaf website even states him as as a antagonist(bad guy).
I don't think animatronics of FNAF have a lot of personality in what we see in the games. Foxy looks pretty cool though.
I didn't play Bendy and the Ink Machine, but from what I've seen, he is pretty mysterious.
What is so great about a silent, unemotional playbook soldier boy.
How the heck is he overrated?!
Locke is cooler
Welllll, I don't know what to say. I kinda agree when talking about how he's doing now, with rabid fanbase people shipping him with everyone, calling him an 'EDGELORD' for using guns in that stupid 2005 game, and just being incredibly one-dimensional in these modern games. BUT THEN, if you think Shadow is overrated, get Sonic on here! He's more overrated than anyone else in the franchise. Plus, if you look at Sonic Adventure 2, he's actually quite interesting! Having a sad past, having his best friend die on him, and then being imprisoned for quite a while. Of COURSE he would be a grumpy hedgehog with air shoes with a jaded perspective on humanity! Get the poor dude to 15 on this list and I'll be satisfied.
All the character that Kratos has is 'I'm angry. I'm gonna kill everyone'. He was alright in the first game, but lost all personality by the third.
After the release of the rebooted God Of War (2018) game he really has character trait now.
I think he is not overrated anymore.
Yes, Kratos is very powerful, but his one character trait is that he's angry, with most characters in the game.
If you take away the fact that he's killed all the gods, he's just an angry ass.
Herobrine is just white eye Steve, he just spends years just having creepy-pasta's about him just watching you, so if he was real, he would just be a little achievement you can find in the End, which we all know wont happen, plus he's overrated AND just a myth.
Dude is the dumbest thing humanity has ever thought of.
He's not even real. He's just an overrated myth.
He not even real
I love how when people call out dumb modern pokemon designs, everyone points out some of the, admittedly, lame designs from the first generation like seel. But none of them will dare mention the straight up DRAGON!
I just don't see how people love him. Sure, dragons are cool, but he is so basic.
If everyone thinks you're overrated, you're not overrated anymore.
Two words: Stealth Rock. Hope that triggered you genwunners.
Without a shadow of a doubt, Mario is the most overrated character in gaming history. He has zero personality. He's a good mascot for Nintendo, but that's it. He shouldn't even get new games anymore. It's always the same thing. Nintendo is just milking dry this franchise to the point that it has a game in every genre of video games. Racing, fighting, etc, you name it. And people eat this crap up every time!
So overrated. Mario has all the eyes on him and his also overrated games while other characters and franchises deserve more attention. I can already hear the Nintendo fanboys going: "But Mario saved the video game industry! ". That's not a reason to worship him. It's time to let the old rest and let the young prosper. Nintendo has milked this character to the bone.
Definitely overrated. I promise you if took a Mario game and reskined the whole thing to look like a new thing and gave it a different name but kept the same mechanics. It wouldn't even reach a quarter of the sales.
I'm getting kinda sick of getting screamed at by Daisy fans. I like Daisy, but I also like Rosalina. It seems like you can only like one or the other on this site.
Daisy is kinda bad and has just such an unnecessary fanbase. Rosalina needs more attention.
Thank you for commenting Daisy haters because you just confirmed again how horrid her hatebase is.
Yoshi is not a character. It's a specie. There's a big difference. Characters, have personalities and are unique. Species, doesn't have a personality, because each Yoshis have a different one. If you want to vote for Yoshi, you should vote for a specific Yoshi.
Similar to Sonic and Rosalina, I do NOT hate Yoshi at all. Yoshi is one of my favorite characters. Its just that people talk about him way too much.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is NOT the best platformer, just because it has Yoshi in it.
Should be higher than Rosalina. He gets too much love.
How is he this low? He should be above Rosalina and Mario!
Why is Luigi under Mario and Daisy?!
He even had a year dedicated to him!
Why isn't this number one? Explain!
Get her higher, her fans worship her, she even ruined Mambo Number 5
Just no monika
Cloud is a overrated no-personality idiot who ruined Final Fantasy. Zack, from Crisis Core,should have been the protaganist. I do not want a Final Fantasy 7 remake ever!
Zidane should be more popular than Cloud. I don't see why people prefer VII over IX.
He may be the main character but he is the main character of an overrated franchise. I just want to let you guys know that just because foxy and sans are overrated doesn't mean Freddy isn't. He was the one who is for making the awful fanbase of his franchise exist
Sub-zero was the character who started the whole color coded ninja craze. While visually distinctive, it's still just palette swaps until about the 4th or fifth game. Don't really see how ninja= best character in franchise.
The rivalry and revenge between Scorpion and Sub-zero is alright, but since practically every character had some kind of revenge/rivalry (Liu Kang vs Shang Tsung, Sonya vs Kano, Kitana vs Mileena, etc. ), it's just overused so I don't see how the ninja rivalry is much different.
I'm a huge MK fan and I like Sub-Zero but hate when his fans diss other mk fighters in order to make him look good. Let's face it - Sub-Zero is weak without ice freezing. He isn't cool without his power. Sorry, but many mk fighters can do without any power
Subs zeros higher than scorpion?
Link is overrated as hell. He is not a good character, he's just another shallow Nintendo character. I don't see how any of you weebs can like him. He's just a kid dressed like an elf with a sword.
He's not overrated. People like link because he is awesome! Especially in his epic adorable wolf form!
He's still an amazing swordsman though.
He doesn't even hack. He just bluffed and got banned.
How? I like Yuna better to be honest
I never get why people wants geno for smash, he only was playable in one game.
