What is the most ridiculous name for a video game character ? It need not be a major character

What is the most ridiculous name for a video game character ? It need not be a major character.

Mario Mario being canon always bothered me.

Same with Snake being David Doe, it sounds so stupid. Eli Doe is also pretty bad.

Most Final Fantasy names are fucking shit too, Cloud, Lightning, Barret, Chocobo.

Shit, Shulk is a stupid name too.

I can't decide if this a great name or the most ridiculous shit

Whats his name again?

John Doe is a generic American name like John Smith and Black Jones, Doe isn't really his last name.

MASTER CHIEF

Master by itself is alright, but "Master" Chief? It just sounds stupid. It's like a double negative or an oxymoron, He's such a master that he's also a chief? Fuck Halo, I never even understood how people were so thrilled about the lore and story because it's so cookie-cutter.

How is that a contradictory statement? Even if it might sound ridiculous, it doesn't cancel itself out in any way.

...

Master Chief (or Master chief petty officer) is an actual military rank, Navy specifically, so your beef is with them, not Halo.

I've never played halo but I found this in under a minute, take it with a grain of salt as I've never been in the navy either

"Master" as in master of what he does. "Chief" as in he's chief of something at what he does. Sure, you could understand it as him being a "master" at leading people (chief), but that's bullshit because the game never shows him leading shit, only blasting aliens.


I stand corrected, but I still stand by my original statement.

Even if you're disregarding the fact that it's an actual navy rank, the name itself still stands. The Chief was an icon to humanity and a huge morale booster on the battlefield, and even before that, he used to lead the rest of the Spartan II's (before they all died).

master chief by itself is still a weird name though,
master - superlative, chief - primary:
'This game is Halo, the main character is called: Superlative Primary.'

like, I guess chief can be a noun as well, but it's usually an abbreviation for a full title with an actual noun in it. In this case 'officer' would be the proper noun. I still think 'master chief petty' is still a weird combination of adjectives though, but at least there is actually a noun in it.

Specifically, Master Chief is the highest rank a Non-Commissioned Officer can achieve in the Navy.

not proper noun, but a noun that is more definitely a noun than chief, I mean

fucking
TYRANNOSATAN

Chips Dubbo from Halo.

Mario Mario is not his canon name, Miyamoto went on record about this a while back. His name is just Mario.

David Doe is, well, Doe is the generic term for an unknown or incognito person in the US, and David is the name of Snake's OG VO, so it's a fitting tribute for a spy character.

Final Fantasy protagonists are named after weather phenomena, mostly air/water things (Cloud, Squall, Zidane, Tidus, etc.)

And Shulk is still retarded.

oh god im dying

I think this is from a VN, VN are still vidya, right?

The games are essentially "kill da evil aliumz", basically the most bare-minimum for a plot. And from what I've understood, even if the game is a little silly (alien grunts) and unimaginative in the story department, it plays it completely straight, like this is the end-all-be-all of sci-fi epics. ESPECIALLY with the main character being named after a fucking military rank.

I know this is a matter of taste and the name holds value to you since you seem to know more about Halo than me, but to someone who has played the main games, the name, along with the context of the game, seems almost childish. The information that is needed to enjoy a game should be MAINLY gleaned from the games themselves. It is what generates interest for a seires. If I'm not interested enough to read the books or enjoy the other suppository items it has after the 4th or 5th game to understand the lore and enjoy the story, it's a pretty bad sign.

The Chief's actual name is Master Chief Petty Officer John-117. "Master Chief" is a nickname.

The greatest allure of the first game was exploring something greater than yourself, and shooting aliens along the way. You don't need to know the lore to appreciate it. The second game follows straight off of that and does the exact same story turn, except this time you already know what you're dealing with, so they threw in the Covenant civil war to mix things up. Again, you don't need to know any of the lore to understand this. The third game is essentially "okay guys, this is the third time we've done this, but they're REALLY close to activating all of the genocide-machines this time!". The final twist is allying with and then being betrayed by the Flood, and again, you don't need to know the lore to understand this.

You seem to be conflating lore and story a lot. You don't need to know who built the Halo rings, or what the political structure of the Covenant is like to understand that giving a hostile conglomerate of aliens control over a genocide-machine is a bad idea, or that being turned into a zombie by an ancient parasite isn't a barrel of laughs.

I emphasized story and lore because I know there are some die-hard fans that live by those books. Halo was neat in it's own way for having and doing things that most other games didn't, and those things surprise me to this day, but that's where it ends. What's bugging me is that people have been singing praise of Halo as some sort of epic story and Master Chief as the epitome of character building. I can appreciate Halo for what it is, as a fun FPS with alien weaponry, but the way the story and characters are presented just makes me think that the developers were thinking this was something more than your run-of-the-mill space FPS, playing their cookie-cutter evil aliens story straight, as if it was never-before seen.

That's his military rank, his actual name is John-117

The Christian allegory certainly sets it apart in my eyes, at least.

Ragnarokarc Super Gandhi is up there.

Weird. I got the idea that the point was that Master Chief lacked any distinct character, being a veteran brainwashed supersoldier. Like, the hope of humanity in the end is a violent suit of armour first designed to assassinate dissidents.

Don't worry, 343i saw fit to make their Halo games about "humanising" him, thus ruining the entire point of the character in the prior three games featuring him.

It's a fighting game m8

Luke Atmey
or anything from the ace attorney games

sounds like a pretty rad moses

That man or machine monologue he have at the end of halo 4 made me laugh because it has been done in almost any sci fi story

Is he related to devilotte?
I want to live in a world where there exists a character names tyrannosatan deathsatan

If they weren't puns, Light, Rock, and Roll would be stupid names. If they weren't meaningful in-universe, X, Zero, and Sigma would be stupid names.

please, you're forgetting the worst name.
Bedman and That Man

Solid Snake = Erect Cock

Harvey Moiseiwitsch Volodarskii is a pretty funky name. Surprised they managed to fit his name in the game.

roll is a great loli name

I can't believe noone mentioned ballsack yet

Or Balzac now that I think about it.

i made this just for you

Space Mutiny is verified kino.

Did all joke names of that nature start from that bit, or was it a thing before them?

hey no making fun of peoples names

Fuck off, Shlomo.

It's lovely, user

That is the name of a race you dumb fag

I usually use names from this for multiplayer games.

I wish it was Captain King instead.

This game is a fucking abomination.

Well, they are robots.


That is going to be fun whenever they make a Metal Gear movie.

Nigger Whiteman

Thelonious Cray, as well as a third of the random soldiers in The 3rd Birthday.

He changed his mind a year or two ago.
It's now officially "Mario Mario"

B.J. Blazkowicz and Guybrush Threepwood come to mind.

DICKS Oak

was getting raped by a loli part of your plan?

X, zero, and sigma are robots though. The rules don't really apply to them.

Kuradoberi Jam

Bitch.

Well, if they ever make another Bleach game with the sternritters, it wouldn't surprise me if they have NaNaNa Najahkoop in there somewhere. Even people that still pay attention to the manga found that name ridiculously stupid, even with most of the sternritter having stupid sounding names anyhow.

What are you talking about? They already have made at least 4 movies.

Look up Metal Gear Solid.

Cranny faggot from limbo of the lost

that's not phantom of the opera you retard.

What's wrong with a dick? Maybe you're just not into it, which is fine. If you're worried about "dick=gay", statistically, as shown in an anonymous study, the most searched for thing in porn by straight males in cock. "Tits" and "pussy" are much lower, if I recall correctly. I mean trans porn and Japanese futanari are insanely popular, if you need proof..
Plenty of women have a penis (plenty of guys have vaginas btw).
You have a prostate, you can orgasm from stimulation of it with a phallic shaped object, regardless of sexual orientation.
The idea that liking dick is inherently gay is wrong. So don't let it be some kind of make-believe line that can never be crossed. If you find a woman attractive, it's ok to keep finding her attractive if she has a penis. You're not suddenly gay.
Also, how do you know she has a penis? How do you know the bimbo you found hot earlier on didn't have a penis? Some trans women have a penis, some don't.

Smug Redman was kind of a silly name in hindsight.

I wonder why he's a master chief petty officer. Does he have a habit of summarily executing cadets for trumped-up charges of high treason when they put Sweet'N Low in his coffee when he specifically asks for Equal?

What was him name again? I thought it was Blue Redman, but further research implies it's Dick Cuntman.

That research a shit, man.

Just picture a trailer attached to Die Hard that has


And grandmas thinking it's going to be a porn movie or something.

(reminds me, I kept thinking SPECTRE was going to turn into a Metal Gear movie. I wish it had. I suppose Skyfall had a bit of that too)


Probably. But also possibly they give him the highest possible non-officer rank so they can justify him running around in the field as a massive killing machine but also mostly doing his own thing.

Reminds me, I totally want to see Halo fiction set after the war's over and the Covenant collapses, because I totally want to see a race of Klingon-Jedi having to get used to doing their own maintenance and actually have to figure out how their own technology works, also their kids are all watching imported human cartoons.

came for this
was not disappointed

Althought it isn't a ridiculous name, Soldier G65434-2 is kinda hard to remember for obvious reasons.

Blazblue is way worse.
And then you have the names just straight ripped off shit
