Yea I went with Kratos as well, though I serously thought about Snake as I am huge MG fan.

That said, Kratos is insane. The things he does have no par. The ultimate badass. So kratos by an inch.

I voted for Link. He's been my hero forever. I would've voted Cloud if Link weren't on there, though. Advent Children showed his ultimate awesome.

I'm going with my brotha' in the hood Ai and voting Link. I've known that jolly green giant since Kindergarten, and since he was a ****** on TV harassing Zelda, all the way to the badassity he became.

The choice was hard to make between Master Chief and Kratos, but I feel Kratos is deserving of my vote. The Chief hasn't been through what Kratos has, so therefore he's the true bad ass here. If Kratos didn't deal with creatures of the supernatural and Greek mythos, then Master Chief would've probably gotten my vote.

Let me answer you with another question. Have you played through MGS 1 or 3? 2 Spends most of it's time focusing on Raiden trying to be like Snake as opposed to Snake himself. It's already established from the first game why he's such a bad ass and then elaborated on in 3 with his exact genetic match.

Yeah, I played the first one as well. I didn't touch the third one after the mess that was MGS2, though.

That's a terrible mistake, trust me. I know and understand why people didn't care for MGS2 and I can guarantee you that if you are actually wanting to sit down and play an MGS game, Snake Eater will deliver the experience that you seek exponentially. As much as I love the first one, I had to bump Snake Eater up into it's spot in 3rd place because it's such a brilliant game (and I'm a totaly mark for Ocelot).

Honestly I thought Big Boss was more bad ass then Solid Snake. In Snake Eater Big Boss shows how cool he is. Snake is just a clone of him so any bad ass-ness he has he got from Boss anyways.

And yeah Snake Eater is great, well the re-release with the better camera. Anyways it's an awesome game. There's way more stealth element to it*You actually use camo to hide from guards* plus if you want to you can go nuts and blast people. There's alot of fun weapons. You can also cut off enemy supply to food and guns by blowing up their store houses. And you can feed them poison food while then hungry.

I voted for snake, actually he wasent my orginal choice I was going to say kratos but I dont know I just find Snake to be more of a bad ass.

Really? I mean I'm just picking at moments from MGS2 but theres plently of others but for one when he was chasing liquid and broke the cuffs that were holding him, that right there has to show some of his animal like traits. Or how about when he took on Olga, dodging a move like that isnt easy and just knowing that it was coming is pretty impressive.

But since it did revolve around Raiden more (being that they were trying to show snake in a different light) I can see how you could have missed alot of things. Then again those might not be things that you consider bad ass.




I cant wait for MGS4, that game will defiently show how much of a bad ass snake is (and now how raiden will be to).

Really, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. I don't think those things are bad ass at all. They seem more "generic superhero" than anything else.

Guybrush Threepwood. This guy just doesn't give up - he has to beat that zombie pirate. He doesn't need skills with a sword or any weapon, he survives by his smart mouth and wits alone.

But then I voted Kratos.
