In my opinion Ezio from assassins creed is the most lovable and stylish character from a gaming series this generation in the ps3 and xbox 360. We get attached to him as we have seen him grow froma young 20s boy to a mature 30 yr old who ha shad heartbreaks and now an old man. I certainly can relate to this character and i think AC revelations would be the perfect end to such a great character. I wouldnt be surprised if this game surpassed uncharted 3 in terms of story

Not even by a long shot, but I do agree that he's a good character though.

are u kidding me nathan drake is not a great character hes just part of a great gaming series with outstanding graphics and gameplay. Character development of Nathan drake is not great. If you have played all assassins creeds like me and appreciate history i think assassin creed series is a real gem! I have no hesitation to pick AC revelations ads GOTY 2011 over arkam city, uncharted 3,la noire and gears 3. thats just me. I guess i am the only one who got attached to Ezio as a character:)

:lol: He's pretty generic, not really in charge of anything, always depending on others.. Sorry, but Solid Snake is the greatest character of every generation..

Everyone is entitled to his opinion but I disagree with you completely, I think he's a horrendous character... B ut then I again I hate the assasins creed games so naturally I don't like Ezio

While everyone can make a case for or against Ezio, I find Ezio to be a great character that has been fully developed. Seeing him before he became an assassin really develops his character. In Brotherhood, I loved the flashbacks to Cristina. It shows that there is more to his life than the Brotherhood. He is an honorable man that had an unfortunate past (with what happened to his family). His character grew and is now fully come about in Revelations.

Nope.

The best character is still Elena's butt, from Uncharted. Understated, yet commands respect.

I thought Ezio was a total nothing. He'd be in the bottom 20% of any list of characters I'd make.

Absolutely not. He was unbearable; absolutely flat and completely dislikeable (for me personally), had about as much charm as a prison lavatory. But then again saying that I can't stand assassin's creed 2, it's just not my cup of tea and part of my dislike for it is the hammy, nonsense story and the flat, uninspired characters. I can't even sell the game for $5! Pretty much as soon as I got Bayonetta I forgot all about it.

Great game, absolutely horrid character. I loved Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, Brotherhood was crap. Altair wasn't well characterized, but he was respectable. Ezio on the other hand is just too childish and unprofessional. And why are you comparing him to Nathan Drak or what not, while the guy simply he said he's not the best?

Where did I say anything about Nathan Drake? Hell, I don't even like that guy in the first place.

I like Ezio, it was cool how you pretty much followed him throughout most of his life and I'm certainly looking forward to this supposed end to his story that's going to happen in Revelations.

I'm kind of sick of American main characters to be honest. Turns me off. Feels like an unnecessary extension of Hollywoodism. I would have liked Nathan Drake a lot more if he was Portuguese (along with subtitles). Does that make me racist?

I'd say the Nier cast. Real non-cliche characters for once.

Whats funny is that when I saw this thread I kept trying to think of other awesome characters from this generation and I couldnt think of too many. There is Ezio as you said, Nathan Drake, Sackboy(?), uh... I dunno... It seems that there havent been too many memorable original characters from this geneartion. Probably a testament to the current lack of imagination in the industry. So ya, I would agree that Ezio is one of the best characters for sure.

Ezio is more of a sad character with a fair amount of history, razz boy turn cult. He is definately great as a character but the interpretation of his character doesnt shine for some reason. I prefer Drake for the fact that his character is definately coming into your head either you notice or not,thats called translation of character. You make a pole of Nate and Ezio,you would see who would win

Nathan Drake may not have the most development as a character but one thing he does have is personality, something both 'Assassin's Creed' protagonists are painfully lacking.

jaidev004

Well I would hope that a a character that's suppose to be Italian would come across as more Italian than a character that's suppose to be an American. Though I'm not sure how nationality in and of itself makes a character better or worse. Not sure what you mean by "too Hollywood", nor am I sure why you feel the need to point out that you're not racist and saying we need protagonists of different races, seeing as how you're comparing two white men.

Ill agree with almost every one else Ezio is a pretty good character I liked him in AC2 (never played brotherhood I saw it as an unnecessary milked game), but he is defiantly not the best character. Also Nathan Drake and Snake are 2 really good well developed characters. 2 other characters i really enjoyed this gen that have not been mentioned are Wheatly and Cave Johnson.

This gen is tough since many of the greats are from others (i.e. Solid Snake and Kratos). For some reason I've always hated Ezio and dislike how they keep continuing his storyline. I think the biggest reason is how I couldn't get past the fact that you have this guy (Ezio) that's just a normal guy, finds assassin gear, then becomes a world class assassin just like that. Ok so he gets into a few school yard brawls every now and again. How exactly does that make him all of the sudden capable of taking out targets like Altair? The last time I checked Ezio spent little to no time training to become an assassin. It's just ridiculous.

John Marston was an amazing character, it would've been quite awesome if Rockstar released a DLC pack which chronicles his time with that bandit gang he was in (always been interested about his past for some unknown reason)

John Marston is a great character, We have dont Ok this gen. Cole from infamous needs a mention, Sackboy is probably the most iconic of this gens new characters, even though he has no personality lol. At least both sony and MS have vastly more characters this gen than nintendo lol. In fact, do nintendo have ANY this gen?

Your right. Ezio was such a dynamic character because he was a total a hole in the beginning of AC2. But then on he matured so much

True but at least ezio had personality while Altair remained static
