Favourite characters from Kojima games?
Posted: Sun Jan 14, 2007 6:24 am
I've always liked the characters Kojima creates, in fact, it's one of my favourite parts of his games, being introduced to a new, unique character full of depth, as always.
I've always thought the characters are always what makes a story, or even breaks a story. I cannot enjoy a story, if I do not connect with the characters in some way. Kojima has created some amazing personalities over his years as a game writer/director. I have a lot of favourites, but my personal favourites include:
Revolver Ocelot, need I say more?
Liquid Snake; a character that is quite possibly more unpredictable than any other character that Kojima has ever created before, plus never knows when to stay down. so it seems!
Tony Redwood; definitely, of all of Kojima's characters he has created, I have found this guy the most chilling of all. He is probably my favourite character of them all, actually.
Elijah Madnar; the villain with emotional problems, never had games seen such a complex villain character before. A clear standout for me.
Solid Snake, bah, why do I need to bother explaining myself for choosing this guy?
Big Boss, same as with Solid Snake.
Fatman, a very quirky character indeed, not your typical popular villain character, nor is he a 'bad ass' either, but I don't know, he is my favourite character in MGS2 alongside Solidus, I have no real idea why either to be honest, there's something unique about him that Kojima has never created before or will do again.
Solidus Snake; I'd argue this character blurs the line between being an anti-hero and being a villain character, and I love that.
Jonathan Ingram; definitely the lead character whom I connected with the most out of all of Kojima's games.
Gillian Seed; I would argue this guy is Kojima's most complex lead chracter and a real hero, no doubt about it.
Randam Hajile; basically my favourite bad ass character from a game ever, who also, to me, commits the most heroic act in all of Kojima's games thus far. Solid Snake has yet to surprise me I bet though, since I think Snake will die under similar circumstances (self sacrifice).
Sniper Wolf; finally, a very well written female character in a game, whom we can all say we sympathised with!
Psycho Mantis; before this guy, I have never felt such sorrow in a game before, a true tragedy of a character.
Salvatore Toscanini; seemingly a very much 'neutral' persona from what we had seen of him when Jonathan and Tokugawa fought, but we soon learn there is far more to this guy than meets the eye, I love characters like this.
Name yours.
