Doesn't need to be the main protagonist, just needs to be in a game.

Heres what I think:

I've finally finished all 5 GoW games thanks to the GoW collection v2 and my mind is made up.Nobody ***** with Kratos.

P.S. Would be nice to post a pic especially if the character is less known.

Kratos is a whiny manchild. :lol:

Personally, I'd hand the title to Jade Curtiss, from Tales of the Abyss. Accomplished soldier, scientist, inventor, and snarktastic genius to boot. If that isn't badass, I don't know what is.

Kratos hands down. Not many are able to go in a solo mission to single handedly destroy the Gods of Olympus.

Strongest? Kratos by a landslide. But most badass? Solid Snake, Adam Jensen, Sam Fisher come to mind.

They were probably worse in FFXIII, but then again practically everything was :P

All joking aside, I actually like the battle system, sped up the pace of play and strategy.

I'll just copy-paste this post of mine from Nov 2008:

Just going to post now and say Kratos is not a good badass. He's a whiner and all he does is whine about how he has emotional issues. I will edit in my picks for best badasses in a few minutes.

Edit:

Adrian Farenheights Tepes (Alucard) - Symphony of the Night



Ezio Auditore da Firenze - Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood, Revelations



Dante - Devil May Cry



Frank West - Dead Rising



Garrett - Thief



Max Payne - Max Payne



Richard B. Riddick - The Chronicles of Riddick Escape From Butcher Bay

 foxhound_fox

Changes: Altair switched to Ezio and dead Garrett pic switched.

Also, I'll toss Samus in here too:

Samus - Super Metroid (+Metroid series)

Brandon Heat/Grave from Gungrave

Tied with

Raikoh from OtogiRaikoh

Tied with

Samus Aran

followed closely by

Rugal Bernstein

This guy

Kratos - the Sell Out

doesn't even come close.

He'd be a better match for

Jack from Madworld

case closed.

People posting Kratos are wrong.

So terribly wrong.

I'd say Dante, who is dwarfed by ******* Slayer.

That guy that isnt even close cant beat all 3 with his 1 leg alone.... And yeah you cant kill him , he is a GOD!!AzatiS
Who, Kratos? The guy who spends most of his time whining about his past? And being a god means nothing. Kratos killed Ares. Someone else could just as easily kill Kratos.

Er??? Do you mean that guy that isn't even close CAN beat? :lol: And being a GOD in video games is merely a title. Terry Bogard defeated a God in the Fatal Fury movie. Mars with the Gaudeamus Armor. You should know that.

Exactly. Alot of God's in Video Games are defeatable. Heck, King of Fighters and Street Fighter defeat God's all the time. Razael in Legacy of Kain: Defiance defeated the Elder God. Mortal Kombat fights God's and defeats them all the Time. Raiden IS a video game God too, does that mean He can't be defeated?
