Day 6 - Most annoying character.

Oh, er... Lady in DMC3 used to piss me off pretty badly because she was SO ANGRY but I'm over that now. I'm actually fairly fond of Steve from Code: Veronica... (okay his voice grates but whatever I can get over it). Man, I might just have to say Ashley Graham, obvious as that is (LEONNNNN, HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP no fuck you shut up). Also, Ada Wong kind of... pisses me off too, ahahaha OKAY ADA JUST FUCK YOU AND YOUR ~TRICKY~ WAYS Wesker had a goddamn satellite watching everything do you really think you got away with that shit

I'M SORRY I like her a lot better now ;3;

I don't HATE Lady but I've never gotten what's the big deal about her/liked her very much. I think the best way to explain why is that a friend of mine, who likes DMC but had never played 2 or 3, but knew about the characters (vaugely), assumed for YEARS that Lady was a demon. When I told him 'no, no, she's just a human.' he went "WHAT?! That's ridiculous Mary Sue bullshit then."

I'm kinda inclined to agree with him. There's nothing wrong with a human being awesome, and normally I'd be all for that, but when with zero visible effort she can more or less match Dante's level of Crazy, and it's not really remarked upon or explained...it just makes *Dante* feel cheap. Because it's like 'oh, he's not actually that amazing because this random chick can totally do all the same stuff. It's not a big deal.'

Also I really hate her skanky Catholic Schoolgirl Outfit. If she's supposed to be driven by anger and revenge you'd think she'd wear something more in line with her personality and motivations, not Lololol Fanservice Psudo Slutty Schoolgirl Outfit.

Hell, Dante, even though he isn't wearing a shirt, is MORE protected by that heavy jacket of his than she is by her clothes. And he doesn't NEED to be protected since he regenerates. Lady's outfit could be ripped apart by a stiff wind. So basically the fact that it stays on her implies she's NEVER BEEN HIT IN A FIGHT ever. And that's just even more Mary Sue ridiculous.

Sorry for bitching about her but she just drives me crazy.

Also do you seriously find Ashley more annoying than Steve? I mean, Ashley has a few idiotic moments, yeah, but I never EXPECTED anything from her. She's a screamy damsel in distress who's been kidnapped by a creepy, rapey cult. I wouldn't expect her to deal any better or worse than she does in the game....
Steve on the other hand I found to be unbelievably annoying, since he's been in Umbrella's secret torture prison for X amount of years and had his family killed and instead of being kind of dead inside, or mean, or jaded or whatever, he spends 99% of the game acting like a 14 year old brat who's parents are out of town and he totally wants to score with some chiiiicks.

Granted, Steve has his character development moments, but I found them to be so melodramatic and dumb that I was laughing instead of being moved.

I'll also add that when Steve isn't being shipped with Claire I don't mind him so much, because then he basically becomes a Sherry that can shoot a gun, and that's certainly more convenient for gameplay...


Also I'm mostly bugged by Ada because she's written terribly, like, the games like to keep her SO VAUGE and SO MYSTERIOUS that she becomes like a joke. I figure we're supposed to take her seriously but that's really hard to do sometimes.... But yeah I agree with you. Wesker has a freaking satellite.

NO WORRIES

HAHA yeah, Lady's outfit could use... a change, for sure, I guess she would kind of want the manoeuvrability but I have WORN those boots, you can't run around like crazy in them, but I must admit I'd never really thought of her in terms like that. I just get fed up with her being angry at everything all the time. And shooting rockets at strangers for absolutely no reason at all.

With Steve, Darkside Chronicles made him a bit more likable, and he certainly was more tolerable. I don't remember EXACTLY how long he was in that prison for, I seem to remember him saying something about Umbrella just swooping in and sticking him in there but I don't think it was for all that long. He is really just a kid, especially compared to Claire, who's seen the horrors of Raccoon and all, so I can understand why he's so... childish, yeah. It's probably the most realistic reaction he could've had, I think, and it's KIND OF ANNOYING YEAH but at least he manages to take care of himself sometimes eventually unlike freakin' Ashley. Also I found him saving Claire despite being infected kind of cute >_>

...But yeah. I agree with ALL OF THIS ON ADA. Yuck.

Haha, on the note of Lady's outfit

I'm sorry but:

Compare and contrast!

Also note that although her "skirt" is made up entirely of pouches, it's painted plaid.

Also I like that she has scars on her legs, but MAYBE THAT'S A SIGN SHE SHOULD WEAR PANTS WHILE DEMON HUNTING, DESIGNERS.
