This top 50 is fucked up!

First place goes to Mario, the tenth to Sonic, and no John Marston?!

It's no good to trust the Guinness to video games.

Zelda on the 31st place? I can't believe this top 50, it must be a nightmare.

This sucks!

Who the hell is "John Marston"?

Don't know about Sonic, but Mario deserves the 1st place, he is after all the most famous character on video games.

If you don't know who John Marston is that means you never played Red Dead Redemption.

You definitely need to play RDR, it's epic awesome!

RDR is awesome and everything but it's just a SINGLE game that came out last year, you can't compare it to legends like solid snake

# RE: DudePS360 Owner1 2011-02-17 12:29
It's one game and a dlc-game which turned into a retail game.

Sure it can't be compared to Solid Snake but, Mr. Marston deserves his place on that top 50!

Even Sackboy is, and he isn't that old (came out in 2008).

If you play RDR to the end, you will love the character, Mr. Marston he was so awesome, did everything for them and yet.. Better not to write any spoilers.

I have to agree with the other dude, RDR was probably the best game to come out last year and definitely needs playing.

What the? Ash isn't from Red/Blue. He's the counterpart of Red in the Anime, but that's Red you play as in Red/Blue.

Ha..Master Chief is 1 of the most generic characters ever and he's above Solid Snake, an icon..right. Kratos? Another generic fool. This list is garbage. Filled with the usual whose who.

This list sux... its too biased. Think on how much some companies payed to put their icons on this list. Megaman is clearly most famous than that Call of Duty guys. Just think about it...

# where they made this survey?memoHDCV 2011-02-16 19:12
mmmm the fact that Ash Ketchum appears in this list tells me how much i can trust the list itself, he is not even a character of a video game, he is a character of an anime just as tayo said. ¬¬

where they made this survey? and what was the age of the people?

# RE: where they made this survey?PS360 Owner1 2011-02-16 20:01
Yeah, Satoshi is part of Pocket Monsters.

The games and series of Pocket Monsters (Pokémon) are degrading in quality.

Better to stick to the early TV series/films and games.

i dont see how some of those could be considered "game" characters, seeing as how they started from animes (and not very good ones either)

Glad to see that Mega Man, a character with over 30 games under his belt and has been around since NES is number 23. Definitely much less memorable and important than the three Call of Duty 4 characters that rank above him that I couldn't remember even if I played the game yesterday.

Haha and Ryu is number 49. Was this just a list of 50 video game characters some guy could find on the internet with no prior knowledge and in no particular order?

How could Mickey Mouse NOT be mentioned. Yeah his games weren't all that epic, but he's definitely up there when it comes to memorable.

# RE: Guinness reveals its top 50 video game charactersShadow Gamer 2011-02-18 09:28
Im not Nintendo bias but alot of its characters need to have been higher. They put several Modern Warfare characters higher then the likes of Kirby and Samus seems very flawed to me. I mean who are you going to recognize more a rugged semi nameless soldier or a Astronomically cute pink ball of gluttony.

# RE: Guinness reveals its top 50 video game charactersBabyface 2011-02-18 11:13
Wow... Master Chief and the CoD dudes... Can game characters get any emptier and shallower than them? How are the "best characters" in any way?

I agree with others here that someone like John Marston would have belonged on that list much more and higher up than many others. There might have been just one game, but that doesn't make him less of a memorable character who actually deserves that term. At least he can speak (hello Gordon, can you hear me?).

This is another example of a VERY pointless fanboy voting list that was more about getting votes for characters of a certain console system than about the characters themselves.

# ok listya 2011-02-19 18:54
the list is ok, a lot of bad choices, like the call of duty characters. The only memorable ones are Reznov and maybe Mason. And no matter what you think, master chief does deserve the top 10, I'ld put him as 8-10, but if you show a random person on the street his picture, 95% of the time, the person would know who that is.

Mario sucks and he wasnt MARIO in donkey kong he was "super plumber man". BTW SONIC 1 came out in 1991 not 1990. Also Sonic should be above Mario on this list because sonic is well known as opposed to the mario franchise making 1 shitty game after the next. I GET TO CLEAN AN ISLAND WITH A WATER PACK. get the fuck outta here number 1. top ten should be...

1.sonic
2.master chief
3.link
4.Niko Bellic (GTAIV)
5.Zero (meganman X)
6.Chuck greene (Dead rising 2)
7.Ryu (street fighter)
8.Sheogorath (oblivion)
9.Sam Fisher (splinter cell)
10.Solid Snake

thats a more accurate list. Guinness gamers are probably a bunch of old men playing fucking regular fucking nintendo. this list is bullshit. I cant wait Nintendo's end is in sight microsoft and sony are going to crush Nintendo in sales now thx to Move and kinect.

Weird results.. Fan voted, explains a bit. However, princess peach was not in 1985. That was princess toadstool. Peach started with marioland if I am correct..

Lmfao Sonic came out to compete with mario. Sega's way of cashing in. However, I don't entirely disagree. Sonic was and still is an epic character
