Who was the best?
Helios, obviously.
SHODAN
AM
For a split second I thought this thread was about plot twists
>>384452303
The top 3
>>384452303
I never played Marathon but what I read about Durandal makes me like him a lot.
My nibba
Yes Man
>>384452303
SHODAN
>>384452303
Shodan ans GLaDoS
This loud shitposter.
>>384452303
I haven't seen all of them but:
Shodan > Yes Man > Glados > 343 Guilty Spark > Mother Brain > The Patriots
Filthy Human//Animals don't know better.
>>384452303
I feel like you ran out of options and just threw Yes Man in there.
Eden would have been a better choice.
>>384452303
Yes Man isn't a villain
>>384459563
>"just kill yourself lmao"
>kills himself
no
>>384452303
SHODAN, obviously.
>>384459678
Yeah, but Eden's actually a villain. Yes Man isn't.
AM because he makes the last woman alive get fucked by an apeman with a horsecock
>>384452350
It's Icarus
>>384459563
No, The Master would have been a better choice. Eden was fucking garbage.
>>384459906
The Master isn't an AI.
>>384459935
neither is mother brain though, right? she's obviously organic.
>>384452303
I suppose in terms of character I'd have to go with Shodan. In terms of "I really, really, really do not want to be recognized by this character as an antagonist," AM is clearly the winner. He's basically the god of the entire fucking earth for what its worth, and the lack of purpose and stimulation have driven him absolutely fucking insane. There is no end game for AM. there's barely even a game, he just pokes at 5 bags of meat just to ignore the pointlessness of it all.
>>384460001
MB is an organic AI canon-wise. Master is a dude who fell into a vat of magic virus and absorbed a bunch of other individuals, including somehow a computer, apparently. He's not artificial by its nature, though.
>>384453023
Durandal is a bit of an egomaniac but he's pretty light hearted about it
>>384452303
AM. Definitely.
AM>Durandel>Helios>Colonel>Shodan>Glados>>>Yes Man>>>Mother Brain
Never played any of the Halo games
>>384452303
I AM SHODAN ... shodan ... shodan

343s voice was funny as all fuck
>>384453219
Does MGS2 have the best writing of any video game?
>>384461623
not really when that same game has this:

said by the same person.
>>384452303
AM < SHODAN < Glados < Colonel < Yes Man
>>384452303
La Li Lu Le Lo
>>384452303
In terms of thematic development, I think The Patriots and Icarus (as well as Daedalus, Helios and even Morpheus) are more relevant and interesting both as characters and for what they have to say about the world. I haven't played IHNMAIMS yet though, I will soon.
Also, SS1 SHODAN > SS2 SHODAN
>>384461623
unironically yes, english localization was great
>>384462353
the localization of MGS2 was good but the Patriot AI as a "character" was badly executed and introduced as the worst possible moment
>>384452303
AM
not even a debate
Obviously SHODAN.
>crossover universe game where SHODAN and Glados take turns bitching at you
>eventually they forget about the player and go full femdom on eachother as you run panting and sweating through their corridors
>mfw
>>384462570
what do you mean? it's not even supposed to be a "character", you can't take the final act of the game at face value. it was perfect. the only thing that's bad imo is the voice-acting compared to the japanese VO. raiden's voice is retarded and he spouts lines like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohDvQGGZzfI
however, you need to take into account that a lot of the lines are repeated from MGS1 (which is the point), and their delivery is toned down on purpose. the patriot AI was there from the beginning of the game
>>384462991
>the patriot AI was there from the beginning of the game
I am aware of that but the twist didn't get introduced until the shitty Arsenal Gear section where everything went to hell.
I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.
>>384463078
how was it shitty? the stealth gameplay is gone after meeting up with snake, yeah, but the entire arsenal gear sequence is surreal and unique with its atmosphere and soundtrack, you got the codecs, in-game code flying in the air, snake's infinity bandana. this is the point where, if you played MGS1 which is crucial, the entire experience of MGS2 starts to come together and make sense. you feel like you understand the game and the game understands you
AM and anyone who says different obviously isn't familiar with the character
>>384461623
Not really, Blood Omen and Sam and Max are better written.
AM
AM
le cake is a lie shouldn't be on the list
>>384464505
dude memes invalidate the game lmao
