Topic: This Gen's Best Character Bracket

Posts 1 to 20 of 664

Let's try a new poll competition again, now that the generation is nearing its end. I'm not going to make a big poll out of this, like KratosMD and @themcnoisy are so good at, so I'll keep it small.

I was wondering who your favorite characters were coming out of this gen. Just to narrow down this bracket a bit: I'm looking for a character that made its first appearance in a game on either the PS4, the Xbox One or the Nintendo Switch (cross-gen games are allowed too, of course).

Round 0: Nominations

You can nominate up to 5 characters and they can be from different games or the same game. You're allowed to nominate characters that have already been nominated too, as it can give those characters a small boost. Nominations will be open for 6 days.

It can be an non playable character as well, or as obscure as you can think of!

The Bloody Baron - The Witcher 3
Parvati Holcomb - The Outer Worlds
Madeline/Badeline - Celeste
Max (as long as she just never ever interacts with Chloe) - Life is Strange
Senua - Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

The girls have this one to be honest and I’m not even an Aloy fan.

@Gremio108 Oh my I love Sadie! And Nick Valentine is a cutie too, definitely my favorite Fallout 4 character.

@Kidfried Sadie might be my fave now that I stop and think about it, although I'm pretty sure I've forgotten a few great characters. I'm sure I'll look at others' lists and go "oh yeah"

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

@Kidfried Great thread!

1) Eileen the Crow - Bloodborne
2) Lizzie Graves - Everbody's Gone to the Rapture
3) Mae - Night in the Woods
4) Kratos - God Of War (2018)
5) Kassandra - AC Odyssey

Some randoms but these were all characters that had me invested, even if not the main character.

Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot

@Rudy_Manchego Great to see a shoutout to Hoonter Lady.

@Rudy_Manchego Can't allow Kratos in, as it's the same character from the earlier God of War games.

@Gremio108 Urgh, I forgot about Mimir, I loved him. Best head in gaming.

@Kidfried BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT... he HAS A BEARD.

But yeah that is true. I just felt that it was such a reboot for the character that I didn't like and then bam, amazing character arc. Rules are rules though.

I mean it is a nice beard.

1) Eileen the Crow - Bloodborne
2) Lizzie Graves - Everbody's Gone to the Rapture
3) Mae - Night in the Woods
4) Lady Masako - Ghost Of Tsushima
5) Kassandra - AC Odyssey

Parvati Holcomb - The Outer Worlds
The Oldest House - Control (i can choose another one, but you could argue it is a character)
Guardian Ape - Sekiro
Patches - Bloodborne/Dark Souls 3
Yuna - Ghosts of Tsushima

What a fun topic, great idea @Kidfried!

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

@Kidfried What a great idea for a contest; thanks for doing this!

1) Sean Diaz, from Life is Strange 2
2) Daniel Diaz, from Life is Strange 2
3) Trico, from The Last Guardian
4) Cere Junda, from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
5) Vetra Nyx, from Mass Effect: Andromeda

Shout out to @Gremio108 for including Nadine Ross, although I'd have been nominating her less on the strength of her debut, and more for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. I also wanted to include Aloy, but I reckon she'll gather up enough nominations, and I'd rather boost Trico.

Cool idea @Kidfried, I'm going to wait and give this some serious thought. A few names spring to mind but don't want to forget a good one.
