Halo fans make this Spartan soldier out to be a paragon of storytelling greatness, but really - what is there underneath all that armor to warrant such praise?

the terrifying series introduces the theme of escape as its core survival instinct. As Chris Redfield (former S.T.A.R.S. member and now part of the BSAA unit), your life is in danger as you strive to complete your most dangerous mission yet in a sweltering desert colony where a new breed of evil has been unleashed. Swarms of marauding evil beings will charge at you when your pulse is racing at a heart-shattering pace. Environments will play a bigger factor than ever here, using the power of next-gen systems to create a world where terror might lurk in any alcove or shadow. Powerful lighting effects overwhelm the player with mirage movement and blinding brilliance, and even in the light of day, there is no safe haven in this Resident Evil.","short":"This next-gen follow-up to the survival horror series breaks further away from the old confining standards, with a theme of escape as its core."}},"objectRegions({\"region\":\"us\"})":[{"__ref":"ObjectRegion:1926441"}],"franchises":[{"__typename":"Attribute","name":"Resident Evil","slug":"resident-evil"}],"genres":[{"__typename":"Attribute","name":"Action","slug":"action"}],"canceled":false,"wikiSlug":"resident-evil-5","paywall":false,"features":[{"__typename":"Attribute","name":"Number Of Players","slug":"number-of-players"},{"__typename":"Attribute","name":"Online - VS Number Of Players","slug":"online-vs-number-of-players"},{"__typename":"Attribute","name":"Online - Co-Op Number Of Players","slug":"online-co-op-number-of-players"},{"__typename":"Attribute","name":"Online","slug":"online"},{"__typename":"Attribute","name":"Local - Co-Op # of Players","slug":"local-co-op-of-players"},{"__typename":"Attribute","name":"PlayStation Move","slug":"playstation-move"}],"producers":[{"__typename":"Attribute","name":"Capcom","shortName":null,"slug":"capcom"}],"publishers":[{"__typename":"Attribute","name":"Capcom","shortName":null,"slug":"capcom"}],"primaryImage":{"__typename":"Image","url":"https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2022/01/19/resident-evil-5-button-v2-1642578670724.jpg"},"objectRegions":[{"__ref":"ObjectRegion:1926439"},{"__ref":"ObjectRegion:1926440"},{"__ref":"ObjectRegion:1926441"},{"__ref":"ObjectRegion:1926442"}]},"ContentCategory:6":{"__typename":"ContentCategory","id":6,"name":"Feature"},"ModernContent:d3bf0887-ec52-4c79-a3ac-4907bcdaaedb":{"__typename":"ModernContent","id":"d3bf0887-ec52-4c79-a3ac-4907bcdaaedb","type":"Article","title":"Top 10 Most Overrated Videogame Characters","subtitle":"Who did you pick to join Kraots and Lara in fan jail?","promoteAt":null,"publishDate":"2009-04-24T20:40:00.000Z","slug":"top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters","feedTitle":"Top 10 Most Overrated Videogame Characters","feedImage":null,"v3Id":"4fda46599e4e280ab10f531d","url":"/articles/2009/04/24/top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters","contributorsOrBylines":[{"__ref":"Contributor:01fe4104-b4b0-11ea-b2e3-0e7c1d759882"}],"primaryObject":{"__ref":"Object:12cee361-0f7f-4fb1-88d8-a549cc744882"},"abTests":[],"sponsorships":[],"contentCategory":{"__ref":"ContentCategory:6"},"brand":null,"sequenceNumber":null,"state":"Published","updatedAt":"2012-06-14T20:15:21.233Z","modifications":true,"comments":true,"ads":true,"headerImageUrl":null,"excerpt":"They are out there, but our fandom tends to get in the way of us seeing who they truly are.

The voters turned out in droves to lay judgment on some of the most popular gaming heroes, if apparently not the best and brightest. <p></p> <br/> When the dust settled, it was clear who you felt should be taken down a peg. <br/> <br/> And now we're presenting the dubious winners of this poll. In this countdown, we document the 10 videogame characters you skewered, using some of our own opinions on the matter mixed with those readers emailed in. Some of the choices may shock you. Some may even annoy you. Just remember one thing: You only have yourselves to blame. We didn't compile this list – you did. We know that's not going to stop the flood of scathing comments and threatening letters, but we might as well try. <br/> <br/> <div data-cy="accent-divider" class="jsx-3449795453 divider jsx-2786329600"></div> <br/> 10. <a href="https://stars.ign.com/objects/924/924296.html" class="link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined" data-cy="styled-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Donkey Kong</a> <br/> <br/> <output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/976/976353/the-top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters-20090424020630308-000.jpg?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span><figcaption data-cy="caption" class="caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption">See?

He helped them leave the playing cards and Game & Watch trinkets in the past and move them to the forefront of the industry. But what has he done for Nintendo lately? <br/> <br/> These days, Donkey Kong's name is almost synonymous with gimmicky games. He's starred in not one, not two, but three Donkey Konga games so far. The last time he headlined a traditional platforming adventure was Donkey Kong 64, and we notice no one seems to be crying out for that game to hit the Wii Virtual Console. <br/> <br/> And what's with the goofy tie? DK needs a fashion makeover, and he needs something more then Super Smash Bros. to keep his name relevant. This guy used to be a working icon. Now his status is starting to show signs of rust. Time to leave the Kongas back with the Game & Watches. <br/> <br/> <output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/976/976353/the-top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters-20090424022417602-000.jpg?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span><figcaption data-cy="caption" class="caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption">Please make the monkeys stop.</figcaption></figure></output> <br/> <div data-cy="accent-divider" class="jsx-3449795453 divider jsx-2786329600"></div> <br/> 9. <a href="https://stars.ign.com/objects/142/14222675.html" class="link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined" data-cy="styled-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Altair</a> <br/> <br/> <output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/976/976353/the-top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters-20090424020213160-000.jpg?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span><figcaption data-cy="caption" class="caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption">Another guy on the umemployment line.</figcaption></figure></output> <strong>Why he's overrated:</strong> Altair is heralded as one of the great new creations of the current console generation. He's that rare new character that catches on like wildfire, and proves that gamers are willing to accept new styles of play in their FPS-driven universe. <br/> <br/> But the Altair supporters seem to be forgetting one thing – Assassin's Creed is one amazingly boring game. Sure, it looks pretty, but the character is a very formulaic one, rendered to look fully fleshed out but coming off as a very 2-D hero. Conistent? Sure, but his objectives are, well, kinda meh. Typical day for the assassin: Sneak around the city. Assassinate your target. Blend into the crowd. Find another target. So it goes, so it goes. And hey, when he gets bored, he goes to hunt down some flags. <br/> <br/> Altair is like a poor man's Prince of Persia. Instead of wowing gamers with dazzling acrobatics, he likes to slink around and do as little work as possible when it comes to killing. The only thing that we can classify as dynamic about the guy is the fact that his story is being relived through the eyes of his descendant. Which would have been cooler if actress Kristen Bell hadn't spoiled it months in advance. <br/> <br/> Assassin's Creed 2 is on the way, but it looks like Altair has been given his pink slip. Maybe UbiSoft feels the same way we do. <br/> <br/> <output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/976/976353/the-top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters-20090424022507647-000.jpg?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span><figcaption data-cy="caption" class="caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption">With time off, he can go hunt down some more flags.</figcaption></figure></output> <br/> <div data-cy="accent-divider" class="jsx-3449795453 divider jsx-2786329600"></div> <br/> <br/> <br/> 8. <a href="https://stars.ign.com/objects/142/14222672.html" class="link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined" data-cy="styled-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Big Daddy</a> <br/> <br/> <output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/976/976353/the-top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters-20090424014637393-000.jpg?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span><figcaption data-cy="caption" class="caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption">Nice outfit...but is that all there is?</figcaption></figure></output> <strong>Why he's overrated:</strong> A big monster in a diving suit?

Nothing we can say about Sonic can possibly wound him worse than Sega already has in the past decade. <br/> <br/> Sonic was once one of the most popular characters in all of pop culture, much less the gaming industry. But sometime around the advent of 3-D gaming, Sega realized it had no idea what to do with their star mascot. Since then, dozens of Sonic games in almost evry genre have hit the shelves, and most headed straight for the trash can afterward. <br/> <br/> Sonic was once a platforming god. That doesn't mean he has any relevance to today's gamer. People used to like Alex Kidd, but you don't see him still being shoved down our throats. It's time to give up and let Sonic die in peace. <br/> <br/> <output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/976/976353/the-top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters-20090424015020073-000.jpg?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span><figcaption data-cy="caption" class="caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption">...Yeah.</figcaption></figure></output> <br/> <div data-cy="accent-divider" class="jsx-3449795453 divider jsx-2786329600"></div> <br/> <br/> <br/> 2. <a href="https://stars.ign.com/objects/921/921159.html" class="link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined" data-cy="styled-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lara Croft</a> <br/> <br/> <output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/976/976353/the-top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters-20090424015147617-000.jpg?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span><figcaption data-cy="caption" class="caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption">Whatever, guys.

She inspired one of the very few decent videogame-to-movie adaptations ever produced. She was quite possibly the first gaming icon ever to be accepted as a mainstream sex symbol. <br/> <br/> But these days, it's not just feminists who think Lara needs to go away. After about the third Tomb Raider game, we realized we had had enough of raiding tombs and fighting dinosaurs. Sure, Lara had an upswing thanks to Tomb Raider: Legend and Anniversary, but ultimately these games weren't able to rekindle our love for Ms. Croft. <br/> <br/> Just look at the ground Lara has paved for new gaming heroines. Now we have Bloodrayne and some chick who wears a magical suit made of hair. The times, they are a-changing. <br/> <br/> <output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/976/976353/the-top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters-20090424015748856-000.jpg?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span><figcaption data-cy="caption" class="caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption">Her next quest - Find where her career went?</figcaption></figure></output> <br/> <div data-cy="accent-divider" class="jsx-3449795453 divider jsx-2786329600"></div> <br/> 1. <a href="https://stars.ign.com/objects/961/961983.html" class="link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined" data-cy="styled-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Master Chief</a> <br/> <br/> <output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/976/976353/the-top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters-20090424014720142-000.jpg?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span><figcaption data-cy="caption" class="caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption">Cue the hate mail...now!</figcaption></figure></output> <strong>Why he's overrated:</strong> Given the pedigree of some of the yahoos on this list, we're almost surprised you went with <a href="https://stars.ign.com/objects/961/961983.html" class="link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined" data-cy="styled-link" class="autolink" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Master Chief</a> as the most overrated character in gaming. But who are we to argue with the readers? <br/> <br/> Granted, the hubbub over Master Chief is disconcerting at times. Halo fans make this Spartan soldier out to be a paragon of storytelling greatness, but really - what is there underneath all that armor to warrant such praise? Chief rarely even talks, much less offers up compelling nuggets of drama. Half the time he could be swapped out with Gordon Freeman and gamers wouldn't know the difference. <br/> <br/> No, the truth of the matter is that 95% of what makes Halo so enduringly popular is not exclusively tied to its hero, but rather to its multiplayer mode. The other 5% is the catchy theme music. At the end of the day, Master Chief is just a generic action hero riding on the coat tails of a much better game. <br/> <br/> <output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/image/article/976/976353/the-top-10-most-overrated-videogame-characters-20090424014822843-000.jpg?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span><figcaption data-cy="caption" class="caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption">And finish it for good, according to some of you.</figcaption></figure></output> <br/> <div data-cy="accent-divider" class="jsx-3449795453 divider jsx-2786329600"></div> <br/> <table border="0" cellPadding="0" cellSpacing="0" width="120" align="right"><tr><td colSpan="3" class="articlepolltd"><output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/images/poll_top.gif?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span></figure></output></td></tr><tr><td class="articlepolltd"> </td><td class="articlepolltd"><a href="//stars.ign.com/polls/13500.html','pollwin','width=320,height=360,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,resizable=yes'))" class="link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined" data-cy="styled-link">Next up: Most overrated comics character.</a><br/></td><td class="articlepolltd"> </td></tr><tr><td colSpan="3" class="articlepolltd"><output class="box-wrapper jsx-2673806401"><figure class="jsx-313219616"><span><img decoding="async" alt="" role="presentation" aria-hidden="true" src="https://starsmedia.ign.com/stars/images/poll_bottom.gif?width=1280&fit=bounds&height=720&quality=20&dpr=0.05" data-cy="progressive-image" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading"/></span></figure></output></td></tr></table>So that just happened.

It seemed pretty boring if you weren't doing multiplayer. And for the first few years of my Xbox 360 ownership, I didn't have xbox live gold. But also, I prefer real science fiction. Halo to me, is on the same level of star wars. It's fantasy in space. Nothing is explained, and no philosophical questions are asked. Mass Effect is the polar opposite. True science fiction through and through. Precisely why the Mass Effect trilogy are my favorite games of all time. But I don't think it's fair to compare mario and nintendo to masterchief and xbox.
