Title: Best Characters
Post by: Trey on March 19, 2008, 02:47:30 AM
Since Binary Trip started a thread for RPG characters, I thought I would expand it a little.

My favorites:

Pretty much everyone from Metal Gear Solid 1 and 3 (especially Snake)
Dante (Devil May Cry)
Jehuty (Zone of the Enders)...not really a character per se, but it's still awesome.
The Nintendo Fantastic Four (Mario, Link, Samus, DK)
Joe (Viewtiful Joe)
Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil)
Crash Bandicoot!
Agent 47 (Hitman)
Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat)

And yours...

I notice a slight resemblance between Al' and the cover girl for The Longest Journey...

Really?  I didn't see a resemblance betwen April Ryan and myself, but it has been a long time since I played.  My hair was still long and blonde, then.  (eww)

P.S. I loved Max in Sanitarium, too.

I dunno, I still don't see it beyond general ethnicity and hair color (which, for me, isn't real anyway ;)).  She was completely awesome, though.  I really do need to suck it up and get Windows XP so I can play the sequel.

I played the Sequel, freakin' hilarious at times :P Especially when she first goes to that alternate world.

I dunno...with lighting and the right camera angles...

That game is one of the reasons I find myself tempted to upgrade to Windows XP... then I remember how much I hate it.  :P

It being XP?  I was forced to upgrade from Windows 2000 because I had won a free iPod a few years back, and it required either an obscure Service Pack upgrade for 2000 or XP.  So...after a year's worth of procrastination, I upgraded.

Sequel is sort of odd, Africa is full of First World Countries and when you go to the Americas it's a land of total despair.

Yes, "it" is XP.  It's better now than when first released, obviously, but I still prefer my good old 2000 Professional.  Sadly, just about none of the games released in the past 4 years or so run on it.  I'm sure I could find some sort of unauthorized, doctored-up patch or something to make my PC run them anyway but I feel like a lot of the things I've seen are too dodgy to make the risk worthwhile.

Double-post, but meh.  :-P

Has anyone else played the PC game Sanitarium?  I loved it; all the characters are such whacked-out weirdos, some funny and some a bit more tragic.
