This video took WAY longer to make than I thought it was going to. PLEASE SHARE IT AROUND IF YOU LIKED IT! If people like it enough, I'll make more! Here's the side video on my second channel: ruclips.net/video/uqzrj6b684U/видео.html
Your analysis regarding PC vs console is particularly correct for me. Can't vote for a character never played. Also, Doom 3 got me into Doom too. Started on keyboard only with Tomb Raider, then on to Half-Life, and didn't play Doom until 3 (though I hated it at first).
This ranking is obviously invalid since you forgot to include Mitchel from hunt down the freeman. Granted, he wouldve won, since nobody says "you fucked up my face" quite like he does.
All these polls are ultimately popularity/meme contests. I wish people would try to be more objective but a lot of polls could benefit from more specific wording. Not referring to any particular channel or user base but there is room for improvement on both sides
@@joestock732 I have not played Thief myself, but I am pretty sure it is not FPS. It's in first-person, but it's an immersive sim. Same goes for System Shock
For me, it's Gordon Freeman and Bj Blazkowicz, Gordon Freeman has something special about playing as him, seeing the world through his eyes, dealing with characters and interacting with everything is really satisfying and I've found similar experiences outside of VR , and like Bj Blazkowicz for the treatment they have given him as a character in the reboot, his humanity, how he deals with depression, his character, his humor and willpower make him one of the best characters I have ever met.
I love characters like Jack from King Kong/BioShock, Tommy from Prey/Mafia, Jackie from the Darkness, and Jason Brody from Far Cry 3. All of them are average joes, All of them with the except of Jason have emotional stories. Jason however is just more humorous to me, like a parody of these characters. Enemies actually reacts to his background, Pirates even mock his Californian identity, and unlike enemies who feel pride or shock getting killed by foes, enemies get EMBRASSED getting killed by a random Californian smoe. No other game had done this, only Far Cry 3. it felt so Cathartic. I wish more games have enemies react like that (getting embarrassed) because it's just so darn funny. Other protagonists hit me in the emotional spot while Jason just works for me as a fantastic Parody of those tropes.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon i think it was unintentionally effective. there isn't a lot of games where enemies felt Humiliated by you instead of fearing you. Besides Shadow of mordor that is, which is why killing pirates in Far cry 3 felt more memorable/humorous then later far cry games because they literally rage quit life.
@@whatayaDO543 100% this. Far Cry 3 just works because NPCs comments of how *baffled* they are being defeated by you. I wish more games done this. it Felt more immersive, and also hilarious.
Point Man is more interesting then most realize. He’s supposed to be an intentional almost deconstruction of hyper badass silent fps protags. His brother Fettel straight up mocks him for having no backstory, personality, or purpose like most fps heroes and his co workers think he’s weird. The end credits revealing that the entire game was nothing more then a set up just to check how unstoppable the guy was almost like a joke on the whole premise as a whole. The entire game was just a glorified tutorial for you the hero … shame the sequels never followed up on this. Extraction Points ending is about Pointman accepting what he is and joining Fettel to destroy armacham to avenge their mother because it’s implied that deep down he doesn’t actually want to escape the city
@@clydemarshall8095 i examined Extraction Point when I played it for Halloween and i find its story to be misunderstood … the game is unironcially about Pointman accepting the truth about who and what he is after discovering that he mom is a ghost lady and that fettel is his brother. Fettel doesnt actually want to kill he wants to wreak havoc on armacham with him for their mother together. It’s why Jin says “your not going to save me are you?” And it’s also why Fettel says “we are going to make them remember”
@@billyboleson2830extraction point is anything but pointman accepting this. Extraction point is about trying to get out of the city but everything try to keep him there. The whole ending of the dlc shows him being left behind in the hell that became that city.
@@nikolasferreira3247 On a surface level yes, this is the problem with fear lore though people only examine it on a surface level. For example people complain that alma is inconsistent in both F1 and EXP cause shes trying to kill point man and trying to help him too. This can be easily explained as A. she not only wasn't aware of this fact but she was also defending herself from pointmans accidental mind attacks Fettel literally says this at the end of the game but no one listened and B. there are 2 almas the kid that sides with Pointman and the evil lady that sides with fettel only the latter attacks pointman. Alma never tries to kill pointman in the ending of F1 she was just trying to hug him and even saves him from the blast cause she just found out hes her son. Expac is pointman escaping the city yes but theres also more going on then that it also makes sense in the context of F1s ending. Pointman had no purpose the after credits and fettel pointed this out but now he realized he finally does have one. Fettel is merely trying to delay Pointman hes not out to kill him because if he wanted to hed be dead instantly
Such a underrated game! I love both NOLF 1&2, and I hope they will get remastered or remakes soon! I miss fun and silly 2000's video games, good times.
Huh interesting I always thought he was some what liked, but I totally get it his action are pretty bad, but I think I’m a sucker for a story that’s comments on the players actions.
Caleb ain't the best written period, but he's the best written of the old classic pre-Half Life era protagonists. Stephan Weyte knocked it out of the park with his vocals, carried the whole thing.
Almost seems better to have it be "best voice acted" since story and writing wasn't really a priority. But Caleb, Duke and Lo Wang are iconic because they have great voice actors delivering badass lines or hilariously placed references to sleazy action movies
1:46 funny thing is he doesn’t do it as much in Brain Damaged. Probably because it plays more like a boomer shooter than open world edgy simulator. Edit: you don’t have to do the edgy stuff in P2 or 4, so less experiencing that side of him.
Point Man being an integral part of the well written and at the time unique story of F.E.A.R. makes him, while being a silent protagonist, a good and memorable character. I think that is why he comes up when I think of FPS protagonists as one of the first 5 on my list.
Sam Stone always struck me as a straight up parody character. He’s never come across as that “badass” to me like other action game heroes and the fact that he’s never actually managed to beat the bad guys doesn’t help since literally every game outside of 2 is a prequel to the last so he just comes off as incompetent really which I actually don’t mind since I actually think SS2s goofiness wasn’t too bad but the sequels dropped that in favor of being slightly more serious (no pun intended)
Why isn’t there a JarekTheGamingDragon fps game where you play as Jarek voiced by JarekTheGamingDragon and once your rage meter fills up you turn into a Dragon and say “its JarekTheGamingDragoning time “ and JarekTheGamingDragon all over the place? He would have won…
While I didn't expect Tal'Set to win, I'm definitely still bitter at his early knockout lmao Does Pointman even have personality? Feels like the same problem with Ranger from Quake But it is what it is. Also, Sgt. Cortez losing so early makes me sad, too
Doom Slayer is easily the Number One spot for FPS protagonist. No doubt. Unfortunately, we won't playing him in a very long time after Reboot with two game.
Really fun little community game! Even if it was kind of obvious who would win from the start there was a lot to think about on the way there. Anyway, inspired by your own tournament I went and ran my own in a discord server for a while, but for Half Life mod protagonists instead, here are the results Simon Henriksson: 1st Place Bad Cop: 2nd Place Molotov (NMRIH): 3rd Place Jake Hawkfield (Underhell): 4th Place David Leatherhoff: 5th Place
I was thinking why David doesn't get second place in terms of popularity but then ı realised by Bad Cop you've meant Allen from Entropy 1 and 2 to which ı agree. I love all of these characters (and wish Underhell actually finished but act 1 and 2 combined are long enough to be a video game of their own so its kinda understandable) but ı don't know this Molotov guy nor remember anything called NMRIH? Can you tell me what it is ım always down to play some quality HL2 mods. Edit: nevermind ı realised you're talking about No More Room in Hell honestly none of the characters stood out much to me in that game but molotov was my prefered one kinda like how ı always prefered Mr. Foster in killing floor or Wolf in Payday games.
Wasn't James Bond in this poll? I would have thought that he (from Goldeneye 64, and half a dozen other first person shooters) would have got much farther in the poll. Other characters I'm surprised to see go unmentioned here are Cate Archer (No One Lives Forever), Joanna Dark (Perfect Dark), Tal'Set or Joshua Fireseed (Turok: Dinosaur hunter), and [name redacted] (from the first person shooter XIII). Or were these all in the starting line up, and were then knocked out early on?
I feel like the Duke Nukem popularity isn't due to legacy as much as it is his resurgence in communities as a Jock that's dumb but not mean. Actually caring and very progressive from various shitpost memes ESPECIALLY those voiced by Gianni Matragano
This was fun! I felt like I was watching a wrestling bracket. When it hit BJ v Duke I was like "oof, now THAT's a PPV match." Maybe not for the belt, but damn it would sell tickets.
BJ is the OG it has to be said. NO and NC have great graphics, atmosphere and most importantly, excellent gunplay with bad ass weapons. Some edgelords tried playing their racism card but enough moviehead players understood all the references and homages made in NC. I didnt mind the player characters in Youngblood, instead I felt the gameplay strayed too far from what made Old Blood-NC so good. I didnt like revisiting areas so much and getting lost for hours in the same nice looking european streets just got boring
The fact that the more known franchises have more recognisable leads quite rigged it from the start. It's more due to. "Yes I didn't play it, I will vote the other one." But also there would be no value if you put mains from forgotten titles only, it would be just 50/50 guessing game. Villians thou, since you don't usualy play as them will be less predictable.
Selaco is a recent one people complained about. I'm not kidding when I say literally any game with a female protagonist I'll get comments with people being stupid about it. Vertigo 2 is another, that clip was actually directly from them poking fun at these types of gamers.
hell, in ADACA, people complained that you either played as a Non-Binary in main campaign and a female in the open world mode. Its honestly sad how vocal and loud these people can get
Hey jarek, big fan here. I'm playing my first old school boomer shooter (shadow warrior) and I was curious how often you save during a level. The levels seem short so I've been just starting from the beginning of each level when I die.
I ended up setting a a few save rules for myself cuz the farther I got the more bullshit the game threw at me. I could a lowered the difficulty but I enjoy having to use every tool in my arsenal and quick thinking to survive. I'm still struggling to balance playing tactfully and playing swiftly with movement and stuff but I'm getting it down slowly. Made it to mission 9 last night. After spending forever trying to find the key on the boat repair level
For me personally it's between either B.J Blazkowicz or Master chief. Master chief for character development and B.J for just being a badass that talks and back it up. Not surprised for who won, Doomguy/slayer is a badass that let his rage do the talk. As for Protagonists in all video games, Shepard from mass effect is damn high up on that list for me. Paragon is already great, but male Shepard Renegade is both comedic and cold.
I demand a recount the fools that voted on this poll do not know what they are talking about, I'm not saying Cortez should have won, but he should have gone further than this. The timesplitters trilogy should come out on every console ever. It's time to split!
That part where you mention that Postal fans leave the most annoying comments is honestly an understatement. Its a community known for throwing death threats and "anti-woke" rhetoric at people who criticize the games. Noah Caldwell Gervais got several through twitter and in his comments for his coverage of the postal series, where he pretty much calls the second game out for the shallow offensive humor and how it fails to function as satire.
I already know you're gonna hate reading through all these comments. FPS gamers are hardly a unified bunch... .... also PROPHET IS 1000% MORE ICONIC THAN NOMAD!! *(And justice for Soap McTavish!)*

Would be more exciting if Doom didn't always win though lol. Probably deserves it, but yeah, biggest surprise must be point man doing so well lol.
No JC Denton?
I don't consider immersive sims fps games. They're kind of their own thing.
honestly i feel like the weapons are the real characters wen it cone to fps games.
I already know you're gonna hate reading through all these comments.
FPS gamers are hardly a unified bunch...
.... also PROPHET IS 1000% MORE ICONIC THAN NOMAD!!
*(And justice for Soap McTavish!)*
Prophet is way more popular then Nomad yes but also Marathon Security Officer should be top 5
In my opinion black ops 1 is the best cod game. It's the only one I was interested in.
Why not including Jason Brody from Farcry 3? I want to see his fanboy whinning while he's getting completely destroyed.
Because he’s objectively the worst protagonist in the entire Far Cry franchise. Ajay, the Deputy, and Dani are way better
I think a losers bracket would be interesting
Doomguy walked so master cheif could run. 😊
Doom guy sprinted at 30mph so master chief could speed walk
bro they voted for the arbiter
Good
Pls try mase Griffin bounty hunter
I missed Jack Carver from Far Cry! Nice video though
Justice for Chell as well (Yes Portal is an FPS)
Caleb from blood is my favorite
You win by the difference. Not your score.
naaaaaaaahhhhhhh no way Doomslayer won over Chief, that shit was rigged by chinese bots
So no Leon, Chris Redfield or Ethan Winters in this one?
**FPS** protagonists
@@Jarekthegamingdragon are RE7 and 8 not FPS enough or something?
@@00suesakamotoWhy put in another character who wouldn’t make it past the first round? Ethan isn’t even a top 3 character in his own games.
Like for my boys Dimitri Petrenko and Miller
117
I say cheif
Or v from cyberpunk 2077
Or Alyx vance
Problem with V is that you have to choose between Fem V and Male V . The story is the same, but the 2 are completely different characters.
