Whitebeard Posts: 1,265 Group: A Rank Hero Member #6,471 Joined: March 5, 2008	IGN's Top Ten list of video game characters that need to die. ...and cue the bawwwing fanboys. Personally, the only characters on that list I think should die are Crash, Laura, Master Chief and Kratos. All of them for the reasons listed in the article.

As for Sonic, the only thing we need to lose is the werehog and the Unleashed "new" type of game. Go back to the basics with any other characters, even in 3D, that should be ok. Your kidding right? You actually agree with the "reasons" for killing Link that IGN pulled out of their ass? I didn't read any reasons, but I do know Link has been repetitive (as much as Mario) and if they put him #1 for any reason, I'd gladly accept his placing whether I agree with the given reasons or not.

	I have an interest in spriting. If anyone has a request, don't hesitate to ask. Deep stuff below: Spoiler: click to toggle The world. Filled with millions of differences. But despite the fact, we all are brothers and sisters, Inhabiting and living under the same sky. But despite this, we war and kill our siblings over trivial things, Staining the earth on which we all walk, With the blood of our brothers, With the blood of our sisters. The sky under which we go through our lives weeps, For the clouds surely know of the atrocities we commit. We slay, maim, gouge, and destroy our siblings, In the name of things which ought not be fought for. Approach a member of the family not, With the tainted lash of hatred, But with the pure flower of love. ======================================= The sword. A weapon who's blade is stained red With the blood of its countless victims. Were it alive, what would such a being feel? Would it live only to fight, And fight only to live? Would it be controlled By those with the skill to do so? I believe that it would cry For each person it has ever brought harm to, Its tears as red as the blood it has spilled.

They do kind of reincarnate Link every new game (so it's really a different fella each time) but he should end up pulling a Capell in a future game. I mean, self-sacrifice is what being a hero's all about, right? And yet we have yet to see any incarnation of Link commit the ultimate act of such. I mean, and this is off-topic, when Capell in Infinite Undiscovery (and to the haters of that game, I actually enjoyed it despite its faults) hung back to finally finish the quest he'd taken up, despite the fact that he was certain he wasn't coming back, I can't tell you how choked up I was. ~~Then they ruined it by showing that somehow he had made it back.~~ Now if Link actually pulled something like that... How many of us LoZ fans wouldn't just seize up right then and there?
	Indeed, there is nothing more repulsive than these monsters that defy nature and are known by the name of witcher, as they are the offspring of foul sorcery and witchcraft. They are unscrupulous scoundrels without conscience and virtue, veritable creatures from hell capable only of taking lives. They have no place amongst decent and honest folk.

I see where your coming from, but Zelda games usually have an alright story anyway and I don't see why anyone would want to end a great series like LoZ. Unless you mean just one Link dieing but their still being more LoZ games with his reincarnations, then yeah I'd be fine with that.

Mii, Crash, Master Chief, Tonk Hawk, and Slippy (especially Sliipy) can go. Of course the list will have it's biases. It's just a listed, BASED on someone else's opinion.

Think of something different to say...Ahah!...be eradicated from the face of the universe! I feel like I'm trolling now, so I'll say something relevent. Like it's been said before, most people coughIGNcoughcough are incredibly stupid when it comes to gaming. I mean seriously, killing off almost an entire cast? What the f*?! It is beyond deplorable that some idiots can say that kind of s* and call themselves 'critics'! Even if they weren't HIGH out of their minds (hint hint) when they said that, they should be arrested for saying something so incredibly bogus and half-assed! Besides, even if Eggman kept building bigger and more destructive robots, it'd get boring after a while having to face the exact same person over and over again! To Sonic Team, I say, keep bringing in as many characters as you see fit! And to IGN, I say, get a life! gives IGN the finger (I believe this is my first little rant on here!)

May I please ask a mod to delete that fake quote that SOMEONE edited. It is unfair and not just to do a thing like that. I'm sure it opposes a rule as well for impersonation.

Any intelligent person isn't going to take it seriously. Section 6.12 is the one about imposture, and it says nothing about editing quotes. In future, Ray, save yourself the embarrassment, and just click the report button if you feel offended, and if the moderators see it appropriate, he might get a (verbal?) warning about flaming.

Not that I particularly care what IGN thinks, it's mainly that most of us don't particularly care about what you think about this. Although I'd say they are being a bit harsh...

TIME TO REALLY EXPLODE! Posts: 1,354 Group: A Rank Hero Member #9,196 Joined: July 13, 2008 Playstation Network ID: MSX8976 Xbox Live Gamertag: MetalSyX	I agree with pretty much all of that list, except for the Sonic one of course. Honestly, I feel that Sonic Team is always going to keep the cast as it is, and perhaps even keep adding to it. They have just too many different groups to please nowadays. My question is this; are the followings of each character combined more than the number of fans who want just Sonic and Eggman? Wouldn't Sonic Team sell more games if they appealed to said followings? Add to that some good gameplay and you have a game a majority of people like, and that means more cash-money for Sonic Team. They ARE still in it for a profit, after all. So, kill the cast? Nah, I don't want them to. And jeez people. It's their opinion. XP
