Posted: Feb 11 2010 11:13 pm

I need to reiterate that this list is fucking terrible.

1. Bayonetta? The game's been out for 4 months in Japan. Hype much? If they did this list again in another 6 months, no one would even remember who she was.
2. "Toro, Sony's PlayStation pseudo-mascot in Japan." I don't even know what to say to this. This is retarded.
3. Professor Layton? I like the games, but what the fucking fuck? He's a lame character.
4. Fucking chocobos? What, they're weren't enough FF characters on the list. Chocobos are gay.
5. Kuro, Toro's sidekick. Sure, because a game company's mascot's sidekick is a totally reasonable choice. Note: Toro only has only starred in two games, appeared in a handful of others, and is known more as a mascot than an actual video game character.

The list is somewhat surprising in its omissions. No one from Guilty Gear? No one from Tekken? No one from Soul Calibur?

There is a distinct lack of Barry Burton on that list. I disapprove.

I can't tell you how many of my friends I have showed this list to and how angry they got.

Not having Link in the top 5 is inexcusable. And there's not one character from Chrono Trigger, Earthbound or FFIV? And what about Samus Aran?

No Big the Cat OR Ramon Salazar? Blasphemous!!!

This list is complete bullocks.

Ramon Salazar? The bad guy from Season 3 of 24?

I have played MGS4 and well frankly I do think he "redeemed" most of his girly antics in the second game, but he still acted more emo-ish then badass. Although the Vamp fights were great, his whole personal struggle with Rose was just to much.

I think what will always remain in my head with Raiden from MGS2 was him running around bare-ass fucking naked along with the wierd japanese girl in the Jejenum of Arsenal Gear.

1) The thing with Rose is that he had a baby with her he thought was dead, plus he thought she was fucking old man Campbell (she probably actually was), and there was all sorts of other heavy shit going on.

2) What's wrong with being bare-ass fucking naked with a weird Japanese girl??

I'm telling you man, they were all edged out by the Slimes, they are just too cool for school. The Flyin' Jew made me add this.

1. I get that, but his self-centered ego trip just pissed me the fuck off... I had to laugh when he cut his arms off because it made me think he doing emo the emu.

2. It's wrong when I'M NOT THE ONE WHO'S BARE ASS NAKED WITH A JAPANESE GIRL!

Hah, but it was brutal as shit when he caught off the first arm. Like how he had to dislocate his shoulder to reach his sword, all just to cut off that arm anyways. Most emos would cry at the sight of an actual blade. Also, I would get bare ass naked with a Japanese girl. Cool

No American characters is more or less just evidence of Japan's nationalist nature, why do you think the Xbox fails so badly there in comparison to Sony and Nintendo's consoles?

The Castle Boss of Resident Evil 4. You know, the guy who gets swallowed up by that big...uh...thing with tentacles for arms and a face.

What about the Nameless One? He'll always be one of the greatest in my books ._.

This list is perfect, Snake deserves to be number one.

Yeah, mascots who've never been in video games sounds pretty perfect for a "Coolest Video Game Character" list, huh? This list is a joke.

Then again, if I made a list, it'd probably be mostly American characters.

What. The. Fuck. No mention of Ness, or even Lucas? Bullshit.
