10 worst video game protagonists of all time

Roman Bellic (Grand Theft Auto IV)

Okay don’t get me wrong - what happened to Roman or his wife (Depending which ending you get) was really tragic and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, but I feel the major part of his sufferings was brought on all by himself. Roman becomes a real pain in the rear to his brother Niko who almost always has to clean up after him and protect him from loan sharks and what not. Not to forget how he corned Niko about living a life of luxury, when in reality he was just tipping the line of poverty. All in all we’d be a lot better off if this protagonist wasn’t such a dolt.

Ashley Graham (Resident Evil 4)

It isn’t hard to believe Ashley Graham, one of the protagonist of Resident Evil 4, was the President’s daughter because she was so used to a Secret Service detail hovering over her that she couldn’t defend herself to save her life – which a major requirement in the world of Resident Evil. Graham is so incapable of defending herself that poor Leon has to literally go out of his way to protect this highly irritating damsel in distress (or one that gives us stress). In fact she annoys one to such an extent that you almost wish the virus that she’s infected with transforms her into a creature that can only be stopped if it’s eradicated. All in all I’d say Ashley is the spanner in the works of otherwise one of the best games of 2005.
