37----
38* ''VideoGame/AgeOfMythology'': Pangu the Chinese Titan was poorly received by people unfamiliar with Chinese mythology, mostly due to its unpolished design. The fact that he reuses the Atlantean titan's animation doesn't help.
39* ''VideoGame/AloneInTheDark'': Sarah Flores in [[VideoGame/AloneInTheDark2008 the 2008 reboot]], considering how annoying and useless to the plot she is.
40* ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'':
41** Gracie, the fashion designer giraffe manages to be this throughout the series for acting like a smug, self-absorbed JerkAss that will berate your sense of style and even insult the player character to their face simply because their style doesn't match hers. She also clashes with the nice, relaxing atmosphere generally carried by the cast of characters, since whereas most rude characters in the ''Animal Crossing'' series, like the Cranky or Snooty villager type, Phyllis, or Resetti, are a JerkWithAHeartOfGold on some level, Gracie never stops being rude and condescending to the player, not even when they help her set up a permanent shop in ''New Leaf'' and are looking to buy things from her. She's actually even worse in the Gamecube version, where she will only give you anything if you play a horribly unfair ButtonMashing minigame to wash her car first that was almost impossible to do without a Turbo Controller (and was actually possible to fail even ''with'' one).
42** ''Wild World'' introduced Lyle, an insurance scammer who would appear outside of the player's house on Saturdays. If talked to, he would force the player to pay him to buy insurance from him. If the player ignored him, he would try to follow them around until they talked to him and bought insurance. This combined with his [[HonestJohnsDealership annoying personality]], the fact that he would continue to harass the player even if they gave in and bought insurance from him, the fact that you [[ButThouMust cannot refuse his insurance offer]] (unless you don't have enough Bells for it), and that [[PowerUpLetdown his insurance was generally worthless]] [[note]]he would occasionally "cover" players who tripped while running, were stung by bees or sold forged paintings, but only in pitiful amounts that generally did not come close to what the player paid for his insurance in the first place[[/note]] made many players despise him. Possibly due to this, in ''City Folk'', [[TakeThatScrappy Lyle has lost his job as an insurance salesman and now works at the Happy Room Academy, a job he absolutely hates, and frequently talks about how his dreams have been crushed]]. By ''New Leaf'' he seems to have grown to like his new job, though.
43* ''VideoGame/ArkSurvivalEvolved'':
44** The Pegomastax is one of the most hated creatures in the game because they have the ability to steal from players. Usually the player will kill the pego and retrieve his or her stuff, but the Pegomastax may sometimes get away with the belonging as you don't know where it is. This results in people losing stuff like valuable weapons, armor, blueprints, saddles, consumables, and even cryopodded creatures to these annoying little creatures. Even in-game, it is considered one of the "ugliest" dinosaurs because of it's appearance. And whenever they are not stealing, they are simply annoying and aggressive for no reason, causing them to kill tames set on passive sometimes.
45** You thought the Pegomastax was bad? Wait till you see the Ichthyornis. Fortunately, it won't steal as many stuff as the Pego, but it can make players drop weapons. The real pain though is that they steal mainly food, which has caused people to lose things like veggie cakes, high level wyvern eggs, and kibble to these stupid seagulls. And remember, they eat the WHOLE stack, so you won't get any of those back. Really frustrating considering how risky it is to grab a wyvern egg, let alone a high level one. They spawn on EVERY beach and are a new player's worst nightmare. This can be subverted because once tamed an Ichthyornis is worth keeping, as it can hunt and retrieve for you, allowing players to harvest prime meat from very small creatures like Dodos and Lystrosauruses, and can be used to annoy others on [=PvP=]. Some servers may also disable Ichthyornis spawns due to how annoying these birds are.
46** During the day, the Troodon is not that annoying, and has a very small aggro radius. However, at nighttime, they become very aggressive, and since it's dark, you won't be able to see them until they pounce you out of nowhere. The bites they inflict have a poison that increases torpidity on humans, and a LOT of torpor, way more than a Scorpion. Once you're unconscious, you are vulnerable to anything as you can't do anything, making you killed easily by the Troodons. And if the tame is on passive, it's much, MUCH worse. It's even worse when you have very strong armor, leaving you in an infinitely unconscious state, and you'll essentially be waiting for YEARS until your dead. Taming them is arguably a stressful job, as it requires live dinosaurs, and they have to be on neutral and unridden, which is very hard to get, although it's easier to simply use baby dinosaurs. Feeding them small creatures like Dodos and Parasaurs will obviously take forever, so the reccomended tames are baby rexes, baby wyverns, or baby gigas. Once FINALLY tamed, it can be useful as base defense and scouting out enemies for PVP and as a trophy for effort on PVE.
47** The Microraptor is NOTORIOUS for how annoying it is. They will target riders on medium-sized creatures and knock them off their mount, stunning them for 10 seconds, and putting them at risk, especially if you're levelling a creature like an Argentavis by killing an Alpha Dinosaur, and then a swarm of Microraptors dismount you off the Argy, and both you and the Argy get killed by the Alpha, all because of one STUPID little creature. Luckily, they're usually skittish, and may run away if approached, but sometimes, especially if they have a pack, they will most certainly attack you and dismount you. The screech they make can be very annoying, but once tamed, they can be used for trolling riders on PVP, and make a nice shoulder pet on Singleplayer and PVE.
48** The Cnidaria is probably one of the most overpowered creatures in the game. They ONLY attack players and tames, nothing else, and they will aggro as soon as you start swimming in the ocean. They're rare on most maps, but on some maps like The Island or Fjordur, they are absolutely everywhere and are here to ruin your day. Once you get [[ElectricJellyfish shocked by one]], say goodbye to your precious life, because they only attack like this, and the shocks put you in an infinite stunlock, where you CANNOT move at ALL, and the jellyfish slowly start killing you. People have lost things like Rexes, Spinos, and even GIGAS because of this jellyfish's broken mechanic, as it can dismount a player off their mount too. This can be subverted if you use a Tusoteuthis as it's immune to torpor and you will not be dismounted from one if the jellies attack, not to mention a long attack range that usually kills them before they can reach you, or entirely averted with a Basilosaurus as it's immune to being electrocuted by these Jellyfish. That's also why the Basilo is the go-to underwater caving mount, as underwater caves will have jellyfish. Electric eels in the game are also considered annoying, but they don't have the same stunlock as the jellyfish, though their shocking mechanics can still be a pain to deal with, and it's even worse because they're much weaker once tamed and can't be ridden despite being the same size as an Anglerfish which CAN be ridden.
49** Most small weaker creatures like the Dilophosaurus, Compy, Piranha, Leech, and Hyaenodon are simply annoying, with Dilos spawning EVERYWHERE and causing the most deaths while players are offline.
50* ''VideoGame/{{Atelier Meruru|The Apprentice of Arland}}'':
51** Rorona. She got turned into an eight year old between games, acts her new age, and her memories have become complete mess. Though her Alchemic skills are still intact, she mainly refuses to use them willingly. A very large portion of fanbase is not pleased. This is apparently because Gust couldn't stand to see her in her 30s. "Who wants to see a Rorona in her 30s? Not me, that's for sure!"
52** Astrid herself receives almost as much heat for doing the deed. Two of the endings make it worse! In one ending where you make a Youth Potion that restores her normal age, Astrid '''sabotages''' it to only age her back to 14 with her memories still a wreck, with Astrid delivering the above message. In another, Witch's Tea Party, she forcefully renders all 3 Arland protagonists and herself to be 14 forever, citing it as an "ideal age". Some fans even treat the endings as the MoralEventHorizon. Gust must have caught on, as the Vita remake has an ending where you successfully restore Rorona's true age and her memories WITHOUT Astrid's sabotage. Astrid was already unpopular in ''Rorona'' because of her lazy, mooching attitude and her willingness to wait until the last minute to clear up potentially relationship-destroying misunderstandings because she thinks it's funny.
53* ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'':
54** Back in the day when the game was first released, Bottles the Mole got a lot of attention as TheScrappy of choice. Many gamers were boggled by the first scene of the game (not counting the intro) being him popping out of his hole and speaking in his bizarre voice. In the sequel, ''Banjo-Tooie'', Rare must have been aware of this, because [[AlasPoorScrappy Bottles is killed off right at the beginning]] and replaced by his brother, Jamjars, as Banjo's mentor, though Jamjars himself ended up being a BaseBreakingCharacter at best for those who were fans of Bottles. However, Bottles winds up BackFromTheDead at the end of the game, which potentially satisfies his few fans.
55** In ''Nuts & Bolts'', nearly all of the new characters get some hatred for being associated with a controversial game, but the two biggest scrappies are probably Trophy Thomas, simply because he's a {{Jerkass}}, and L.O.G., for being the face of Banjo's shoehorning into the new style of game.
56* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'':
57** Luka the male love interest is often considered this among the most die-hard of fans (especially those who ship Bayo with Jeanne) with his PlayedForLaughs ButtMonkey weakling and CasanovaWannabe traits making him as wanted to said fans as a skin disease. There were scant few complaints when he got DemotedToExtra in the [[VideoGame/Bayonetta2 second game]] allowing the plot to focus on the favourite witch duo better. The vitriol for Luka probably reached its highest pitch in ''VideoGame/Bayonetta3'' [[spoiler: as despite him actually TakingALevelInBadass, Luka ultimately crushes Bayo and Jeanne’s bond as he and the former are made to be an OfficalCouple and the father of her child Viola, something that did ''not'' go over well with quite a lot of fans.]]
58** Speaking of ''Bayo 3'' newcomer Viola has been considered by a fair amount of fans this despite the initial hype surrounding her character. While she’s meant on paper to be cool as fellow Umbra Witches Bayonetta and Jeanne, in the practice the story mainly treats her like a ButtMonkey and TheChewToy. She sets her skirt on fire by accident, has a scorpion nip her tongue and has GrowlingGut Tidus-esque hijinks in the desert level all of which coupled with her already abrasive [[TheQuincyPunk punk attitude]] and bad habit of having a NegatedMomentOfAwesome by getting her ass kicked almost every fight made her pretty unlikeable and irritating to a good of fans. [[spoiler:This probably wouldn’t been so bad if Viola wasn’t revealed to be Bayonetta’s daughter and didn’t by the end of the game take over from her mother after she dies, even using Bayo’s name for herself — narrative choices that long-time fans absolutely detested.]] Viola’s janky gameplay was also factor in this with her parry, dodge and Cheshire being a ScrappyMechanic. While this last issue did get mostly fixed by a later patch, the damage (helped by the story) had already been done.
59* Marumaro in ''VideoGame/BlueDragon''. He's got an annoying, grating voice, and is a particularly dumb character in a story with enough idiots it's no small feat.
60* In ''VideoGame/BrothersInArms'', Private Leggett, in-universe and out, especially with his original voice actor and after [[spoiler: the deaths of Allen and Garnett.]] He's awkward, annoying, and far more aggressive towards his fellow squad-mates than towards the Germans. After his HeroicBSOD moment, some squad members mutter that "that skinny prick better not cross [their] path." A new voice actor and some fleshing out [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap make him more popular in later installments, though.]]
61* ''VideoGame/{{Bubsy}}'' himself is infamous for being one of the most unlikeable characters in video game history. He's disliked for a number of reasons such as his personality, his voice, [[OneHitPointWonder his fragility]], and the general mediocrity of his games and cartoon pilot. However, that doesn't mean he doesn't have any fans. In fact, if you search on deviantArt you'll find all kinds of fan art, though you'll likely find some art in which he is either being humiliated or tortured.
62* ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyGhosts'' has the game's main villain, Gabriel Rorke, an InvincibleVillain to ridiculously impossible degrees that always has everything go his way. [[spoiler:Best exemplified by the ending, where, in order, he is hit over the head with a fire extinguisher, shot through the chest with a Magnum, and is left to drown in the front car of a train that gets hit by a KillSat and crashes into the ocean and comes back in the next scene perfectly fine just to set up a SequelHook that will never come.]]
63* Almost everyone who has played ''VideoGame/CelDamage'' seems to dislike or hate B.T. Bruno and T. Wrecks. Bruno is hated due to his boring and bland personality, and for having little to no funny lines, while T. Wrecks is hated because of his god-awful voice and his douchey, pompous, bragging personality and lines.
64* ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'':
65** Poshul gets a lot of hate for being an obnoxious pink dog-thing and being nigh-useless in battle.
66** Korcha is also widely hated, for wearing [[FanDisservice nothing but a red speedo]] and being, again, awful in fights. Also for his utterly unwarranted TheReasonYouSuckSpeech if the player opts for the non-AlwaysSaveTheGirl path.
67** Mel attempts to make up for being an awful combatant (noticing a trend?) with a repugnant BrattyHalfPint personality. Suffice to say, it doesn't work. Other characters with Mel's killer combo of "irritating" and "weak" include Sneff, Skelly, Pip, [=NeoFio=], Turnip, Pierre, and Van. Further compounding the issue is that many of these characters have very little development outside of brief quests to get their top Tech (if that), which makes them feel very flat.
68* ''VideoGame/ComicJumperTheAdventuresOfCaptainSmiley'': Gerda. The constant "Your health is now...<insert insult here>" is usually one of the main criticisms aimed at the game. Admit it, when Smiley left her in the bank to die again, you were delighted at the prospect of her silence. Alas, she still talks afterward.
69* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'':
70** Rikuo, the {{Bishonen}} fishman of the monster-fighter, seems to be incredibly disliked by the fandom. Apparently, Capcom got the hint and took him out of one of the {{Updated Rerelease}}s... along with [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Jon Talbain]] and Sasquatch. A [[http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/darkstalkers/darkstalkers.htm review]] of the series describes Rikuo as so:
71-->"''Apparently the last member of his disgusting aquatic race, Rikuo (Aulbath in Japan) desperately searches the world in hopes of finding a hideous mate so he can repropagate his loathsome species. Yes, I am biased."''
72* Ninja Theory's ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' reboot, ''VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry'', is notorious for its bad characterization of Dante and Vergil. The former has been criticized for being a JerkAss who often makes childish insults, has an awkward facial expression, [[ClusterFBomb constantly dropping F-bombs]], isn't found to be funny at all, and [[KickTheDog even makes fun of the]] BigBad after he is shocked for the loss of his heir and wife[[note]]granted, that was done to distract Mundus and get him away from his power source so that Vergil could go in and seal it up, depriving Mundus of his power, but still...[[/note]]. Vergil is considered even worse for barely doing anything in the game other than giving orders, abandoning an ally, making a famous joke about his genital size, and his FaceHeelTurn at the end of the game for no other conceivable reason than that was the point when the writers remembered the original Vergil was a bad guy. The scene in which Dante kidnaps a pregnant woman to use her as hostage and Vergil kills her is probably the most hated part from the entire game as the series' original message that even demons could care was aborted, not to mention Dante's comment afterwards
73--> ''Seeing the look on her face as her baby exploded into wet chunks...priceless.''
74* ''VideoGame/DickTracySega'': The scowling GameOverMan in the NES version. Some asshole cop harangues you for shooting those poor, defenseless mafiosos, or for trying to arrest them without proof. After three decades, his annoying face is still burned into players' memories.
75* ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'': Ada Laird, the NPC that [[WelcometoCorneria walks around the Driftwood marketplace in a circle talking to the various vendors]] in Act II quickly became infamous among players for her extremely repetitive, irritating dialogue. She walks to each one and says the same voiced phrase, without breaks, over and over again, every single time the player goes to the market to sell whatever [[ShopFodder vendor trash]] they've accumulated. It's not uncommon for players to hear one too many [[MemeticMutation "Keepin it togetha Bree?"s]] and quicksave so that they can turn the entire market into a fiery inferno. Many guides point out the non-violent solution of blocking her path with boxes to stop her dialogue.
76* ''Franchise/DonkeyKong'':
77** VideoGame/DonkeyKong Jr, from his self-titled game, befuddled some gamers by arguably being a playable villain out to save the BigBad of his game's predecessor, and seemingly [[NiceJobBreakingItHero killing Mario, the biggest gaming hero ever]], at the end. (Fortunately, it was a DisneyDeath.) Then he also got some snide remarks about his goofy appearance, and some gamers preferred killing him and watching his funny death animation to actually playing through the game. It says something that Donkey Kong Jr. hasn't even been seen in years since the era of the Nintendo 64, not even acknowledged by his father, who has since been retconned as Cranky Kong, the grandfather of [[LegacyCharacter the modern Donkey Kong]].
78** Kiddy Kong in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry3DixieKongsDoubleTrouble'' - they could have just used Donkey Kong if they wanted a stronger Kong to counterbalance Dixie Kong. Not to mention he has floatier controls and a dodgier wider hitbox than Donkey Kong that effectively makes him "Donkey Kong except worse". Not to mention that awful crying sound he makes when he loses a life.
79* In the ''Franchise/DotHack'' series, there are a few Scrappies, but generally at the top of the list is Piros III in the first set of games: An over the top LordErrorProne twit with a grating voice and is one of the slowest characters to have in the party, and the tendency to call the main character "He Of Fair Eyes", and other YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe doesn't help to endear him to the party. Nor does his tendency to fall for [[CatGirl Mia's]] tricks at least three times. Some think his ''GU'' version is a case of RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap with his awesome theme music, and thankfully much more amusing antics.
80** Saku of the Sakubo duo is another one, a condescending {{Tsundere}} that borders on {{Yandere}} that is obsessed with the resident pretty-boy, and is nothing but a jerkass to Haseo over an imagined rivalry - ''especially'' after [[HoYay Endrance declares his love for Haseo]], and was one of the hardest characters to boost relationship values, and that at first she seems to bully the much sweeter Bo. [[spoiler:The fact it turns out she is Bo's second personality and her genuine concern when he gets in trouble softens the impact]].
81** Atoli tends to fall into this often as well, though more often in the Western fanbase than others. Opinions range from her being TheWoobie, to her being an ExtremeDoormat.
82** Gaspard. More pointless sidetracking with a loud, whiny, useless, pathetic, and all around unlikable piece of garbage. Even his appearance is obnoxious.
83** Sakaki started off as one of many [[{{Bishonen}} pretty boys]] with a voice similar to another well-liked pretty boy (Balmung) and a cool samurai theme. He had no problems being liked until he becomes Sakaki <Zenith> and then [[spoiler: transforms into a psychotic shit who gleefully takes advantage of a girl he earlier found on a ''suicide website'' to a point of mentally and emotionally manipulating her, has little to no care of endangering/destroying other people's lives (online ''and'' offline) and pretty much caused a good number of his would-be fans to abandon ship long before the <Zenith> portion rubbed off.]]
84* ''VideoGame/DuckHunt'':
85** The dog is hated by many players who played this game for one simple fact: It does a mocking laugh if you fail to shoot one duck. It is [[DesignatedHero meant to be the player's hunting companion]] who drives the ducks out of their hiding spots and collect the dead ones for you. Normally, you expect the dog to be disappointed or sad since its efforts was all for naught (and thus makes you feel guilty). But instead, it laughs ''at'' you for missing and given that each round has the ducks [[DifficultyByAcceleration fly faster and more sporadic]], you will [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption experience this moment eventually]]. This led many players wanting to shoot the dog for being a poor sport, and some even believe the dog was never on your side, instead conspiring with the ducks to make your life miserable.
86** There is even a Nintendo commercial where the dog appears alongside Bowser and other villains to mock the viewer. Interestingly enough, in the arcade game ''Vs. Duck Hunt'', it ''is'' possible to shoot the dog in a bonus round.
87** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHWHWnrWIcQ This video]] hilariously shows the dog getting his just deserts.
88** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFcu4gJz_6Q This awesome video]] hilariously and epically shows the dog getting owned, by none other than [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Master Chief!]]
89** College Humor also made this beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2Hho69a3GQ&feature=search video]]. Even with a terrible price, revenge is sweet.
90** [[https://youtu.be/N9apNdSezAs?t=11 Dorkly's take]] on giving the dog some well deserved karma.
91** There's also a [[http://www.duelinganalogs.com/comic/2010/02/11/the-laughing-dog/ more sinister outlook]] on the dog.
92** There's a song called [[http://thefump.com/fump.php?id=1025 "Why Can't I Shoot the Dog?"]].
93** And there's an entire VR game, ''VideoGame/DuckSeason'', revolving around this premise. It plays as a normal VR version of Duck Hunt, ''unless'' you shoot the dog. If you do that, [[spoiler:TheDogBitesBack]].
94** His inclusion as a playable character since ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'' has done a bit for him to be RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap, either because he's given a fun moveset and has a more likeable personality, along with chemistry with his duck companion, or because you [[TakeThatScrappy can finally beat the smug smile out of his face]].
95* ''VideoGame/DungeonMakerIITheHiddenWar'' has the Magic shop owner's apprentice, Niko. He's a most definitely underage boy (he appears to be 10 or 11 at the oldest) with a crush on an older man - the player character no less - and he is not shy about letting you know it. Even if you don't find his advances creepy, there's one point that pisses off everyone at least a little bit: that being when he makes a comment about how your character should throw your apprentice (a nice girl who is far more popular than Niko is) out onto the street so that he can move in with you. He quickly backpedals, explaining that it was only a joke and he's otherwise polite to the Apprentice, but many fans nonetheless found his "joke" unamusing.
96* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'':
97** [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Fargoth, Gaenor,]] [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Glarthir, Maglir, the Adoring Fan]]... the list of hated Bosmer (Wood Elves) goes on and on... (The latter two are likely intentional, at least.) At least subsequent Bosmers in ''Skyrim'' and ''Elder Scrolls Online'' are much more well received.
98** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'': Delphine is a rude abrasive {{Jerkass}} who, despite claiming that Blades are created to serve the Dragonborn, constantly orders the latter around. But the biggest source of the fandom's ire comes from the ''Paarthurnax'' quest, where she orders the Dragonborn to slay Paarthurnax (who is shown to be nothing but helpful towards the PlayerCharacter throughout the whole game and is the reason humanity is free from the Dragon's oppression), completely refusing to help them otherwise unless they do what she ordered ([[UngratefulBastard in spite of everything the player did to help her rebuild the Blades]]). To add insult to the injury, the game does not give the PlayerCharacter the opportunity to call her out on this or even murder her instead as she is marked as essential the whole game, with no other way of resolving the quest unless you murdered someone who did more than she did for you. As a result, many of the game's most popular mods involve either adding an alternate resolution to the quest (usually involving the Dragonborn intimidating her to back down) or simply removing her and Esbern's essential status once the quest has started.
99* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'':
100** ''VideoGame/Fallout3'':
101*** Roy Phillips is a leader of a group of ghouls who want to live among the residents of Tenpenny Tower, despite the fact that the Tower's owner hates ghouls and wants them exterminated. However, in a twist, it turns out Roy is himself deeply racist against humans, and if the player negotiates a solution where the ghouls can live among the humans, then Roy will massacre them a few days later. In fact, he hates humans so much that he will approve of the plan to nuke Megaton, which was meant to be Tenpenny's MoralEventHorizon. This would all be fine, as a more morally ambiguous villain who subverts the usual ''Fallout 3'' ethos of always having a clear-cut TakeAThirdOption peaceful solution... except that for some reason, the game marks Roy as having Good Karma. This means that if you kill him, ''even after he's proudly admitted to carrying out a mass murder'', the game wags its finger at you for being naughty. As a result, Roy is one of the most despised characters in the fandom, far outclassing the intended HateSink of Tenpenny himself.
102*** Sticky's {{Escort Mission}}s are annoying enough to begin with, but Sticky makes it worse with his incessant blabbling.
103*** The anonymous Megaton villager who, almost ''every single time'' you enter Megaton or exit a building in Megaton, tells you how much everyone loves you and offers you a near-worthless item. At least [[TalkativeLoon Cromwell]] is easily ignored by walking straight past the ambient noise of his WordSaladPhilosophy. This woman's appearance completely locks your movement the moment you walk through the door and you have to ''[[ScrappyMechanic wait for the camera to slowly move in front of her]]'' and go through the exact same dialogue menu ''every single time''. Makes the Talon Mercenaries much more likable in comparison, especially when it comes to high Karma punishments.
104** ''VideoGame/Fallout4'':
105*** Marcy Long, a foul-tempered JerkAss who often goes out of her way to bitch at the player [[WelcometoCorneria with the same four lines of dialogue over and over again]]. Her husband Jun claims it's her way of mourning their son's death, but a terminal in Quincy implies otherwise. What players especially found irritating upon the game's release is that when they finally snap and unload a shotgun into her face, both she and her husband are marked as essential despite contributing absolutely nothing to the story (unlike Sturges and Mama Murphy, who are also essential for the most part but actually have some use). Their essential status was later removed in a patch nearly a year after the game's release, but the hate still lingers.
106*** Preston Garvey also gets some hate for the constant stream of [[FetchQuest Fetch Quests]] involving helping out settlements (frequently located on the other side of the map). To make it worse, he gives out a new quest as soon as soon as you turn an old one in. In addition, his lines are somewhat [[{{Narm}} Narmy]] after you romance him. However, this was later mitigated in a patch. Now most of the fetch quests that Garvey gave out are now given out by listening to Radio Freedom, and Garvey himself gives out quests far less frequently. Despite making him more agreeable, any goodwill towards him that this produced was quickly thrown out the window by the Nuka-World expansion, in which he becomes an AccuserOfTheBrethren to the player [[BlamedForBeingRailroaded for wanting to play through the questline they paid for]].
107* ''VideoGame/FatalFrame'':
108** ''VideoGame/FatalFrameII'': Mayu Amakura is hated for mainly being TheLoad. She cannot do anything during the game, partly because a knee injury hinders her physically and because she cannot resist the spirits' influence mentally. She causes the game to become nothing but an EscortMission whenever she is with Mio, but otherwise prolongs the game by constantly running off and getting in trouble, because she is being possessed by the game's BigBad. [[spoiler:The other reason for hating her stems from the fact that she is a ManipulativeBitch, who purposefully fell and injured her knee to guilt her twin sister enough to never leave her side.]]
109** ''VideoGame/FatalFrameMaidenOfBlackWater'': Rui Kagamiya also suffers from TheLoad problem. Players hate her because she is repeatedly used by the spirits at Mt Hikami and similar to get her [[DamselInDistress in trouble and have Ren save her]]. Outside of that, her lack of any deep personality beyond being Ren's [[CannotSpitItOut (Secret)]] SatelliteLoveInterest makes the first part worse.
110* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'': While the ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' series always has a massive share of controversial characters, this is usually offset due to the series' design around favoritism, support conversations inducing CharacterDevelopment and bias that even the controversial ones would tend to be a BaseBreakingCharacter at worst. Ótr of Book V, meanwhile, [[SarcasmMode accomplishes the impressive task]] of [[EpicFail having]] ''[[EpicFail nothing]]'' [[EpicFail going for him in story, character, gameplay or design]]. He’s inconsistently written throughout Book V, ranging from seeming like an AxCrazy HateSink who hates Reginn, to a TragicVillain who [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wants loved ones]], and then flips between these portrayals so often it makes it seem like the writers don’t know what to do with him. Beyond that, his shallow motivation of not wanting to “lose” Fáfnir, his willingness to kill Reginn out of sheer jealousy, and his manipulation of Nótt via fake feelings of love, didn’t help depict him as a likable character. This might've been fine, if the game didn’t frame him as a tragic villain, rather than being a HateSink like it seems to be trying at first to paint him as. Combined with his gameplay value being mediocre, and he’s widely seen as the worst ''Heroes'' OriginalGeneration character in the game's history, to the point that his first appearance in Choose Your Legends resulted in the single lowest rated ''Heroes'' OC during their first CYL appearance period. To drive this even further, his banner was estimated to be the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/q4bbg4/according_to_sensortower_rankings_the_mythic_otr/ single worst selling banner in the game's history at the time of its release]], and unlike later banners that sold even worse, he doesn't have the excuse of just bad timing from a sales angle[[note]]For example; Legendary Xander sold worse than his banner, but it was released right after a joint ''Radiant Dawn'' and ''Three Houses'' summer banner, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/10blpga/banner_performance_top_5_bestworst_of_us_jp_book/ which was estimated to be the single best selling banner of the year]], which played a major role in the banner selling so poorly, which could not be said for Ótr, whose closest major banner didn't sell that highly either, meaning there wasn't a lot of competition to explain the poor sales[[/note]].
111* ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'':
112** In a series with many, many characters, Balloon Boy from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2'' stands out as almost universally the least favorite character in the franchise thanks to his annoying laugh, his ScrappyMechanic being a huge 10/20 killer, and the fact that in a series heavy in lore, he's a FlatCharacter that contributes little to the story at all. Even his DistaffCounterpart {{PaletteSwap}}s J.J., [=DeeDee=], [[spoiler:and XOR]] are more popular than he is (which is ironic in the latter two's case, given their own ScrappyMechanic in ''VideoGame/UltimateCustomNight'').
113** The S.T.A.F.F. Bots from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach'' don't get much love either thanks to their prevalence, ability to summon other animatronics, and the extremely loud alarm it emits when it catches Gregory. The ''Ruin'' DLC would have some TakeThatScrappy moments by showing the bots in various states of disrepair and having a couple briefly jumpscare Cassie before slumping over, powerless. [[spoiler:Unless the secret EasterEgg of the real Gregory trying to reach Cassie plays.]]
114** InUniverse, Montgomery Gator is regarded as this for the Freddy Fazbear franchise, as he had [[ReplacementScrappy replaced the very popular Glamrock Bonnie]], his arrogant attitude, and Fazbear Entertainment's shilling of him as the SuperiorSuccessor, to the point they plan to {{Unperson}} Bonnie entirely so fans stop asking when he's coming back. [[spoiler:The implication that Monty ''killed'' Bonnie to get his place in the band makes this much worse.]]
115* Omitsu from ''VideoGame/GanbareGoemon'' is loathed by the majority of the Japanese fandom. While a good amount of the hatred is for shipping reasons, rabid fans of ActionGirl Yae firmly believe she doesn't deserve to be called the series heroine. Hiroshi Obi's deliberate transformation of Omitsu into a dumpy, frumpy, status-seeking harpy in his manga adaptations of the games doesn't help matters any, either.
116* [[http://cutstuff.net/blog/?page_id=1563 The Santa Claus]] class from ''VideoGame/GhoulsVsHumans'' was particularly unpopular, apparently mainly because it was too silly. The author saw this coming and announced Santa would turn into [[http://cutstuff.net/blog/?page_id=1970 the Engineer]] (inspired by ''Franchise/DeadSpace''), who is essentially Santa's re-skin, once Christmas was over.
117* ''VideoGame/{{Gothic}}'' had Mud, a pest who latched onto the hero if you walked by him. He'd constantly pester you by initiating pointless dialog, but should any enemies get near, he'd run away... until you defeated them. Then he came back. The only way to get rid of him was to beat him up. Very cathartic, actually.
118** Since even the hero seems to enjoy beating him up, and because of his [[BestialityIsDepraved implied reason for being thrown into the mine colony]], this was probably intentional.
119* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'':
120** Many consider Zero to be this, largely because of [[ThatOneLevel his infuriatingly hard missions]], and partly because of his SeriousBusiness attitude. And let's face it, because he was voiced by David Cross.
121** Also, OG Loc. The fact that Carl is willing to spend so much time helping him instead is out of character, but [[spoiler:when Big Smoke betrays you, Loc sides with Smoke. And then after chasing him all over the place in a ScrappyLevel, CJ lets him live.]]
122** Sweet, CJ's brother, also gained considerable backlash for bitching non-stop about CJ "running away" when it was their mother's idea in the first place to give him a better life and indeed, CJ turned out better for it as he's much more rational minded than Sweet or any of the Grove Street Gang members are. Regardless, in most of the mission Sweet gives CJ no end of grief over this. And when CJ later in the game offers him a much better life than living in "da hood" can bring, he has the nerve to chastise him for it [[UngratefulBastard despite all the crap CJ went through to bail him out of prison.]]
123* ''VideoGame/GuildWars'':
124** ''Guild Wars: Nightfall'' had Kormir. The leader of your mercenary group, she gets blinded a little ways into the campaign. She promptly spends the rest of the campaign doing absolutely nothing. Not to mention the fact that ''she's the one who woke up the god you're fighting''. In end, she gets to ''become a god'' for her trouble. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxmkAoLC6_4 This]] video sums it up nicely.
125*** Her Scrappy status only ''grew'' when she reappeared in the Path of Fire expansion of 2. Her entire appearance consists of telling mortalkind that they're on their own in the fight for survival because the other gods have already abandoned Tyria to avoid a confrontation with Balthazar and she's doing the same. So in the end she was just as useless and annoying as a god as she was when she was a mortal.
126** ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'' has Trahearne. He's nice enough when you meet him as part of the sylvari personal storyline. Later in the campaign, though, all races meet him. When the Pact is created, he takes on the position of Marshal, despite being a scholar who has repeatedly said he ''doesn't'' want to lead. The fact that he completely steals your spotlight (and only lets you lead ''right before the final battle'') have cemented his place as a Scrappy. His voice certainly doesn't help.[[note]][[MemeticMutation CLOOR ISLAND]][[/note]] And it ''also'' doesn't help that for non-sylvari, he's introduced in the same mission where [[spoiler:your mentor dies]], making him somewhat of a ReplacementScrappy too.
127*** Even worse is Scarlet Briar, the villain from the Living Story. The most charitable description of her that you will find on the forums is "bad fanfiction villain", seeing how she's accused of having just about everything about her backstory defy logic and preceding lore. Let's leave it at that.
128* ''VideoGame/Halo4'':
129** Many fans are annoyed with Commander Sarah Palmer, and some outright hate her for shooting [[spoiler: Dr Halsey.]] Her portrayal in ''ComicBook/HaloEscalation'' hasn't done Sarah any favors either. [[TakeThatScrappy On the other hand...]]
130** [[BigBad The Didact]], a GenericDoomsdayVillain who indulges in eloquent speech (that might remind you of Gravemind), instead of, you know, killing his enemy. The Chief and the player do not even get the satisfaction of beating him in a boss fight, instead he gets beaten in a QuickTimeEvent. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHDnCyeoQJc WatchMojo]] even described him as the [[Franchise/StarWars General Grievous]] of videogames, in the sense that his origins and motivations are only explored in secondary material but in the main event he comes off as bland and unoriginal.
131* In ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2'':
132** Ram is this for the playable characters. Too whiny, too much of a ClingyJealousGirl to Rom when [[TheHero Nepgear]] was only trying to help out Lowee's problems when it's ''their nation'', tells Rom that they should only play while Rom insists that they help Nepgear to fix the problems of their nation, and does a LeeroyJenkins moment to try and snap Rom out of her BrainwashedAndCrazy state, only for her to be in the same state (being low in faith is easy for a FaceHeelTurn, in-story at least).
133** For the NPC characters, it's usually Trick and Mina who are outright despised by fans. Trick is the reason why the U.S. got a Mature rating to the game in the first place (being a pedophile with a really long tongue), and Mina is a female version of Trick who ''is also Ram and Rom's caretaker''. One chirper moment was all it took to hate a bland character into the worst pedophile character in the game (and Nepgear hopefully thinks Mina was just joking).
134* ''VideoGame/TheIdolmaster2'' brings us Jupiter, a boy band amidst the otherwise-all-female[[note]]that is, with [[WholesomeCrossdresser one exception]][[/note]] cast of characters in the series. Not surprisingly, [[MostGamersAreMale male fans]] give them a lot of shit, dismissing them as nothing but YaoiFangirl [[MrFanservice fodder]].
135* ''VideoGame/{{inFAMOUS}}'':
136** Trish. She treats Cole like absolute dog shit for the majority of her screen time. Yes, [[spoiler: a radioactive sphere he was holding exploded, giving Cole superpowers at the cost of thousands of lives, one of which was Trish's sister Amy]] but Cole didn't deserve it because it was an accident. Few players liked her and some were glad to [[spoiler: see her die.]]
137** Moya, for being a heartless bitch who uses Cole to accomplish her goals with no regard for his well being [[spoiler: as well as lying about being John White's wife to appear sympathetic]] and wants to Cole steal the Ray Sphere for her own uses. She's pretty much devoid of any redeeming qualities and to anyone who hasn't read the inFAMOUS comics, a KarmaHoudini.
138** Zeke for being an annoying, fat hick who praises Cole's new powers while secretly wanting them for himself. The straw that broke the camel's back was probably when he [[spoiler: activated the Ray Sphere, killing several thousand more people in an attempt to get powers of his own, only for it to fail because Zeke doesn't have the Conduit gene. Then he betrays you and sides with Kessler because of a second chance to get powers.]] Needless to say, many hated him for it. He was RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap in ''VideoGame/{{inFAMOUS 2}}'' due to the fact that he was deeply regretful of his past actions, became more mature and TookALevelInBadass.
139** Nix in ''[=inFAMOUS=] 2''. Although she is intended to being a JerkassWoobie, [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic few players seem to feel any sympathy for her]]. She grew up in poverty by the bayou, [[spoiler: Joseph Bertrand killed her family with a Ray Sphere]] and now she's forced to live as a freak with pyrokinetic powers. Depressing, right? Wrong. Nix is downright sadistic, showing little concern for anyone who isn't Cole (and she was probably only using him) or her "pets" (Corrupted Swamp Monsters that she had tamed) with most of her Evil Karma suggestions being dumb and dangerous (running a street car full of explosives into a mansion full of forced Conduits as a diversion, for example). The only reason she decided to side with Cole against The Beast was because her pets died in one of The Beast's Ray Field Blasts and because she didn't want him creating more Conduits since, if everyone had super powers, she wouldn't be special anymore. Sucker Punch have made it very difficult to like her.
140** Hank Daughtry in ''VideoGame/InfamousSecondSon'' for being everything that the public believes a "Bio-terrorist" to be: an unrepentant criminal who uses his powers for evil. He also [[spoiler: sells out Delsin to Augustine, which results in her killing Reggie.]] Even some of the most devoted Good Karma players were tempted to [[spoiler: kill him.]] His only redeeming quality is the love he has for his daughter.
141* ''VideoGame/JazzJackrabbit'': Lori Jackrabbit is a bit of a [[TheScrappy Scrappy]] for some players because she was just generally tacked-on. She has no real personality beyond being female (admittedly, all she really has to convey this with is her IdleAnimation, but given her brothers' animations, it seems like Epic could have tried harder) and [[MsFanservice wearing a sports bra]]. The other factor is her poorly chosen moveset; she uses Jazz's helicopter ears and Spaz's flying kick, which means that she has no way of increasing her jump height from a standing start, which makes certain levels almost, if not actually, impossible to beat when playing as her. The fact that the earliest incarnation of Lori was as a[[note]]much less fanservicey[[/note]] love interest to Spaz before she officially became his sibling might [[BrotherSisterIncest rub some people the wrong way]] too.
142* ''VideoGame/{{Killzone}}'':
143** Rico, who's a loudmouthed, annoying {{Jerkass}} who does a [[NiceJobBreakingItHero nice job breaking things]] and is generally disliked by the fandom. Of course this could be intentional - to offset Sev's measured approach, and ultimately show the futility of aggression for aggression's sake.
144** Probably intentional, but he's still completely unforgivable for [[spoiler:getting Garza killed and turning everything to shit by killing Visari]].
145** And then, one of the first screens released for Killzone 3 is Rico. And the fandom raged. Thankfully, they dialed down his most annoying traits in the game itself.
146* Bao from the NESTS saga of ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', for being a relatively uncharismatic CousinOliver.
147** Ash Crimson has been hovering somewhere between this, BaseBreakerCharacter and CreatorsPet for a large part of the fandom. Although he does have his own following, and some fans seem to be [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap slowly warming up to him]].
148*** Hey, guess what? Ash Crimson has been KilledOffForReal! He killed off his own ancestor and essentially made sure that he will cease to exist. This qualifies as an AlasPoorScrappy!
149*** And then, ''KOF XIV'' teased a return for the next game which became confirmed. His return from the dead and new design has made him RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap for a good portion of the fandom. Also helps that he's much less grating in ''XV'' (as his Special Intro with newcomer Isla is one of the few times we've seen him PetTheDog) and has one of the most [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments touching]] endings in the series.
150** In a whole-company scale, the staff at SNK Playmore seems to hate the Eolith-created K9999 very much and replace him with Nameless ([[UrbanLegendOfZelda or so we were led to believe]]), since K9999 was made into such a CaptainErsatz of [[Manga/{{Akira}} Tetsuo]] by Eolith's own admission that this did not sit well on SNK Playmore. Which is okay, because most fans didn't like him either for the same reasons as well as being [[{{Jerkass}} very obnoxious]].
151*** Like Ash above, K9999 has also been [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap pulled out]] [[TheBusCameBack of the heap]] in ''XV'' as [[spoiler:Krohnen [=McDougall=]]], his new identity that he took up sometime after the events of ''KOF 2001''. His redesign that tones down the ''AKIRA'' references, being ''much'' less of a needlessly edgy {{Jerkass}}, his PetTheDog moment in both his team's ending and in another one involving him, [[VideoGame/ArtOfFighting Ryo]], and Angel, as well as being an OnlySaneMan around other {{Jerkass}}es like Iori and [[VideoGame/GarouMarkOfTheWolves Gato]] have definitely won some fans over.
152** In his time, [[DarkerAndEdgier replacement protagonist]] K' was seen as a ReplacementScrappy to some. He grew up beyond this and became one of the franchise's most popular characters.
153* In ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVAbsenceMakesTheHeartGoYonder'', Cedric was massively hated for his useless advice (screaming "watch out" or some variant thereof ''when it's already too late to prevent the danger from killing you''), [[CowardlySidekick cowardice]] and annoying voice in the CD version. So much so that in ''[[VideoGame/SpaceQuestIVRogerWilcoAndTheTimeRippers Space Quest IV]]'', hitting him in an arcade game earns you points, and the narrator spoofs him in Space Quest VI.
154** In the ''[[VideoGame/KingsQuestIIRomancingTheThrone King's Quest II]]'' FanRemake, there's an EasterEgg where King Graham tells [[VideoGame/KingsQuestMaskOfEternity Connor]] to go capture the most elusive of prey: Cedric. When the owl shows up, Graham pulls out a sword and chases the owl out of the throne room.
155** ''VideoGame/FreddyPharkasFrontierPharmacist'' showed Cedric in one screen looking lost. Come back later and [[AlasPoorScrappy Vultures are pulling out the owl's guts]]
156** In ''VideoGame/HeroinesQuest'', Cedric shows up at the city gate complaining about [[MemeticMutation how everything is poisonous]]. You can attack him, and get a Steam achievement for doing so.
157* ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'':
158** Rochelle gets a ton of hate from the fans simply because she doesn't always have something witty to say like the other survivors or how her voice actor is "bad." People have even gone as far as replacing her with Zoey via modding. When The Passing campaign was coming soon, [[BrokenBase many fans hoped that Valve would replace Rochelle's VA with a new one and redo all of her old lines.]]
159** Valve ended up not doing that for the DLC, however, though the DLC did in fact add a lot of interesting dialogue between her and Francis, including mimicking Francis' hating things. Even if they did not rewrite her lines and replace her VA, many fans still agree that the Passing successfully managed to get her RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap.
160* Most of the characters in ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'' are either popular enough to have their own fanbase or minor enough that no one really cares about them. The exception is Umah from ''Blood Omen 2''. The majority of the fanbase hates her for one reason or another, several seeing her as a SatelliteLoveInterest, a FauxActionGirl, and a MsFanservice in a series with a very large, active, and vocal female fanbase.
161* If there's one character who manages to be the scrappy in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'', or even any of the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'' in general, it's Elise Schwarzer, adopted younger sister of the protagonist. It's mostly thanks to her BrotherSisterIncest storyline that was poorly executed compared to the better and more popular [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Estelle and Joshua adopted sibling romance]], her terrible stats and skills, and at least 75% of [[TheHero Rean's]] angst issues comes from him wanting to protect her. That and she barely gets any screen time as to why she's even crushing on him in the first place.
162* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
163** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'':
164*** Kaepora Gaebora, the MotorMouth owl who shows up on the overworld after Link completed a mission is probably the second most hated character in the game, next to Navi. Mostly because he bombards the player with a WallOfText that is automatically triggered when the player walks near him, as opposed to pretty much every other NPC in the game where the player initiates the conversation. His information ranges from "Mildly helpful, but nothing I couldn't figure out by myself" to "I already knew that!". The real kicker is that, when the player tries to skip his tedious monologue with the "A" button, the cursor defaults to "No" when asked if the player understood what he said, or "Yes" when asked if the player wants to hear what he said again. ShallIRepeatThat
165** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'':
166*** The monkeys, particularly the one that "[[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper helps]]" you in the Forest Temple. As the game suffers from a ''very'' long ProlongedPrologue and ForcedTutorial which takes a couple of hours to complete before you can even reach the temple (and you still haven't even been to Hyrule Field yet), this initial temple should have been your first opportunity to freely explore a large area. Instead, this monkey [[RailRoading Rail Roads]] you through a large portion of the temple and ''never'' stops chattering or hooting at you, even when you're giving in and following her.
167* ''VideoGame/LegoDimensions:''
168** Much like their [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo TV series]] counterparts, the characters from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' were disliked mainly by fans of the original ''Teen Titans'' [[ComicBook/TeenTitans comics]] and [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans cartoon]] upon their reveal.
169** Abby Yates from the ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' [[Film/Ghostbusters2016 reboot]] also got this status. Fans who already dislike the reboot took offense to her remarks towards the characters from [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 the original]] ''[[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Ghostbusters]]'' [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 movie]] and ''Franchise/HarryPotter''. Fans who do like the reboot have to put up with her [[TheOtherDarrin sounding nothing like her original actress]]. It also doesn't help that her status as the first character with the Charge Transfer ability makes her necessary for 100% completion.
170* ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'':
171** Kyohei Jingu from ''VideoGame/Yakuza1'' is one of these. While he's ''[[HateSink supposed]]'' to be hated, the hatred fans have for him tend to go beyond his evil actions, due to being seen as a weak antagonist who lacks the complexity of [[BigBadEnsemble fellow main villain]] Nishiki. Not helped by the fact that his boss fight is considered by many to be one of the worst in the series.
172** ''VideoGame/Yakuza4'':
173*** Lily, [[spoiler:aka Yasuko Saejima]], is hated by fans for being a FauxActionGirl in a series where legitimate {{Action Girl}}s are few and far between, as well as her [[spoiler:relationship with her brother Saejima that culminates in her tragically [[DiedInYourArmsTonight dying in his arms]]]] being seen as [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot wasted potential]] due to a lack of actual onscreen development.
174*** Seishiro Munakata, who is seen by many as [[spoiler:the worst BigBad in the entire series]]. He only shows up near the end of the game's third act, [[spoiler:where he's suddenly revealed to be the true mastermind behind the game's plot, but still fails to get any legitimate characterization other than being a [[FlatCharacter run-of-the-mill power-hungry villain]]. Not helped by his boss fight (which is the game's FinalBoss) being considered one the worst in the series, consisting entirely of him [[CowardlyBoss running away from Tanimura while forcing him to fight waves of goons while he takes potshots at him with his gun]]]].
175** ''VideoGame/Yakuza5'' has the minor NPC Tatsuya, a chef based on the real life celebrity chef Tatsuya Kawagoe. His writing comes off to many as CharacterShilling, seeming more or less like a walking advertisement who appears in every story in the game despite lacking any particularly interesting characteristics. It's not helped that the person he's based on had gotten himself into hot water soon after the release of the game[[note]]For those wondering, he had been secretly charging patrons of his restaurant 800 yen for water, then defended himself against criticism by saying "it's good water" and that his restaurants aren't meant for poor people anyway[[/note]].
176** Nonomiya from ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' is supposed to be a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, but because his kind acts [[InformedKindness happen entirely offscreen]] [[spoiler:and are only revealed after he's already dead]], while his time onscreen only ever portrays him as needlessly cruel and even predatory towards his workers, he's seen as an unlikeable scumbag rather than the multi-faceted character the game makes him out to be, and is overall considered one of the game's weaker points in its writing.
177* Mack and Cooke from ''VideoGame/LostOdyssey'' are seen as annoying little brats who take away game time from much more interesting or better-developed characters. And the cherry on top is that they were almost useless in battle aside from teaching skills to other (better) characters.
178* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
179** ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'':
180*** ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'''s [[VillainousHarlequin Clown Man]], for [[MemeticMolester coming off as a creepy child molester]] with an annoying voice.
181*** ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp'' has Oil Man. The reason he's wildly hated among the fanbase is his obnoxious JiveTurkey personality, as well as the fact that he [[EthnicScrappy looks like a blackface]][[note]]The international versions of the game changed his skin from black to blue, and his lips from pink to yellow, but that didn't help much.[[/note]] and gives you a [[ScrappyWeapon completely useless weapon]] upon defeating him. That said the [[ComicBook/MegaManArchieComics comics]] [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap rescued him from the scrappy heap]] by covering his mouth with a ScarfOfAsskicking, making his design less racist-looking. That said, his JiveTurkey personality remains.
182** ''VideoGame/MegaManX7'':
183*** Axl was much hated in this game for [[ReplacementScrappy replacing X as main character]], as well as his whiny BrattyHalfPint personality, alongside playing like an inferior clone of X gameplay-wise and his story [[SpotlightStealingSquad consuming the entire plot]]. He would be RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap in later games, though, as he was made more likable and didn't usurp the entire plot. His playstyle was also changed to resemble Bass' from ''VideoGame/MegaManAndBass'', and his voice was changed to sound less obnoxious.
184*** As far as Mavericks go, Flame Hyenard is hated for ''never shutting the hell up''. His shrieky, obnoxious voice constantly repeating "BURN! BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!" gets even worse when he summons clones of himself.
185*** Tornado Tonion is one of the series' most hated Mavericks. While he doesn't get quite the level of vitriol Hyenard does, Tonion's unpopularity is predominantly down to his annoying voice and {{manchild}} nature, repeating "AROUND AND AROUND!" on a near-constant loop as he fights.
186** ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork4RedSunAndBlueMoon'': [[BrattyHalfPint Chisao]] gets kidnapped, and his kidnapper says he'll let him go provided Lan can find him and complete his challenges. Lan manages to find him shortly before his tournament match with Dex and Gutsman.EXE. After the tournament battle, Chisao admits he wasn't really kidnapped. Being the older sibling and having to be responsible for Chisao's behavior, Dex is angry and tells Chisao to apologize to Lan. Except Lan says there's no need for Chisao to apologize since he was just trying to help Dex and Gutsman. It doesn't help that in the anime, he becomes a SpotlightStealingSquad to his older brother.
187* ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'': Adam Malkovitch is widely hated for his cold, careless behavior, and for imposing the now infamous [[ScrappyMechanic authorization mechanic]] on to Samus, sharply contrasting how he was built up as a noble man in ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion''. His treatment of Samus disgusted many players, as she views him as a father figure while he is mostly indifferent or emotionally abusive to her. Compounding this issue is the fact he is repeatedly described as a tactical genius, despite [[GeneralFailure regularly making terrible decisions]] that ultimately result in the demise of his entire squad save Anthony. The game nevertheless ends with Samus revering him as a flawless leader, and the postgame focuses on her risking her life and battling Phantoon to retrieve his helmet.
188* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2'':
189** [[BlackMagicianGirl Qara]] is often cited as the worst companion in the game. She's a [[KillItWithFire pyromaniac]] sorceress who has a severely [[SmallNameBigEgo overinflated sense of importance]] due to the fact [[MagicAIsMagicA she can spontaneously cast spells]] and refuses to study anything or refuse to take responsibility for her actions (believing she had a right to [[DisproportionateRetribution set fire to a stable]] because someone verbally mocked her). Any attempt to reign in her Pyromania or her tendency [[ChaoticStupid to want to do the most destructive action possible]] only nets negative influence. There's VERY little attempts for the player to get her off the high horse and mature. It also doesn't help she has a rivalry with the much more popular [[DeadpanSnarker Sand]] who she belittles needlessly because he's a Wizard. It also also doesn't help that Qara's pyrotechnics have a nasty habit of destroying loot-containing chests, which in this game wrecks the better items inside. And as a final nail in her coffin, unless you go out of your way to get her approval (i.e., suck up to her as much as possible), she is the only companion who will almost ''always'' [[spoiler:betray the party and side with Garius during the finale.]] Oh, and getting her approval means [[spoiler:Sand will betray you instead.]]
190** In close competition with Qara is Grobnar, the resident SpoonyBard. Who is also a gnome. Many players would love to tell him to get stuffed when he announces his intention to join the party... but when anybody wants to join your party in [=NWN2=], [[ButThouMust Thou Must Accept Them]]. The only thing keeping him (slightly) above Qara is the fact he's occasionally funny.
191** Elanee and Casavir aren't ''nearly'' as hated as the above two, but they're still considered two of the worst companions. The former because of her [[NoYay creepy]] romance arc, [[StopHavingFunGuy stick-in-the-mud personality]], and generally being a stereotypical [[CantArgueWithElves haughty elf]] who gives condescending [[GreenAesop Green Aesops]]. The latter mostly just because [[TheGenericGuy he's a fairly boring and generic paladin]], thanks to a lot of his HiddenDepths and storyline getting DummiedOut. Notably, even the developers seem to have hated Elanee; she's the ''only'' companion you can kill [[spoiler:prior to the finale.]]
192* ''VideoGame/NintendoLand'' has Monita. Her tutorial speeches are several minutes long, and ''boring''. They've been known to put some gamers to sleep.
193* [[BigBad Jasper Batt Jr.]] from ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes2DesperateStruggle'' is immensely hated by fans due to his annoying voice, ridiculous fashion sense, the fact that he lets his henchmen doing all of the killing for him, and for being a FinalBoss that goes from easy, to ThatOneBoss (complete with being absurdly cheap instead of legitimately hard). It's easily arguable that this was the point, since part way through, Henry [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere says its just too ridiculous and leaves Travis to finish the fight alone.]] All in all, Jasper seems intended to be as unsatisfying a final boss as possible by being both cheap and too ridiculous to provide a desirable capstone to the story. And while it drives the point home of revenge as a whole being unsatisfying, it's still something you have to ''put up with'' in the first place.
194** Million Gunman from the same game is near-universally hated for being a very uninteresting assassin thematically (even the whole Bond villain motif isn't particularly unique), being one of the more obnoxious fights in the game, the poor platforming required to beat him and the screams of "DO YOU LOVE MONEY LIKE I D-I'M NOT GOING TO GO EASY ON YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE A GIR-DO YOU LOVE MO-FUCK YOU" he makes. Next to Jasper Batt Jr, his boss fight is likely the most disliked of any in either of the games.
195* Manpuku from ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'' is the only partner in the game who receives any degree of hate, and they hate him ''hard''. Being the final partner in the game, you'd think he'd have something that would actually be comparable to [[EnsembleDarkhorse Kurow]]'s flight, but all he does is serve as a source of fire, whereas there could've simply been conveniently-placed torches instead. People are also annoyed by how unchanged his character is by the end of his arc; the reason why he got dragged into the story is simply because he ate too much, and you'd ''think'' that by the end of the story he'd stop, but ''no'', you're greeted by a scene of him gorging himself during the ending. Just look at any fanart of Chibiterasu and his partners, they leave Manpuku out of them most of the time, they hate him ''that'' much.
196* Rowland from ''VideoGame/TheOrionConspiracy''. He has an annoying, little-kid-like voice. He is also fat, and admits to being a BasementDweller (did you hear UnfortunateImplications?). He is selfish, lazy, whiny, and none of the other characters in the game seem to like him very much. In fact, his supervisor has to constantly push him into working on stuff. He does not care about top secret stuff, and he only cares about eating chocolate. He has to be bribed with a blueberry pie before he tells Devlin anything. He is also a hypochondriac. The final blow comes when he happens to overhear Devlin and Meyer's conversation about damage to the engines. He reveals himself to be a DirtyCoward who essentially says ScrewThisImOuttaHere and takes off in a ship leaving everyone else behind. Guess what? Devlin has to go to the laser cannon and shoot to kill Rowland. TakeThatScrappy! A conversation between Devlin and Meyer reveals that Meyer would have happily shot down Rowland, and that if Rowland had not been shot down, the alien cocoons in the ship would have hatched and killed him anyway. Rowland was obviously a dead man the minute he got into that ship and took off. His death could be considered AlasPoorScrappy.
197* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2'' has the shop [=NPCs=] in charge of grinding gear and making them stronger. The higher you grind an item, the greater the chance of potential failure and loss of grinds (especially in rare weapons). Each NPC is hated for their own reasons: Dudu, who works on odd-numbered blocks, has a condescending personality and seniority, being hated by players since day one (enough that a room item was released in the form of a punching bag bearing his visage); while Monica, who works on even-numbered blocks, is a {{Moe}} CuteClumsyGirl ShrinkingViolet who cries every time she fails a grind. There are some that actually hate Monica more than Dudu, who has become more of a character one loves to hate, as opposed to the seething loathing Monica receives.
198* Kinta Kokuin of the ''VideoGame/PowerInstinct'' series. It's not hard to see why he's considered among the worst fighting game characters ever, considering he's not only an EthnicScrappy--he's a Japanese sumo wrestler who doesn't wear underwear, for no other apparent reason to be gross--but an ''underaged'' one. So essentially, you get to see a kid display candid portions of his anatomy during the fight. It's disgusting.
199** Oume and Otane Goketsuji have also started to wear out on some of the fans. Either one or both of them have been in every ''Power Instinct'' game, while some of the [[EnsembleDarkhorse fan favorites]] never appear again. The fact that they're usually [[HighTierScrappy really good]] in most of the games doesn't help at all.
200* Both ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyoFever'' and its sequel have Hoho, Tartar and the Frankensteins, three very unpopular characters that are hated for their obnoxious VerbalTic (the Frankenstein kid's "freh" and "Daddy says...", Tartar's "-(na) n da na", and Hoho's "hoho" or "mmm-hmm" in English) and unappealing designs. As a result, after ''Puyo Puyo Fever 2'' those characters were quickly PutOnABus, and even when they returned in ''Puyo Puyo Quest'' their presence is heavily downplayed.
201* ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClank'': The villains of ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankSizeMatters Size Matters]]'', Otto Destruct and Luna, are considered forgettable villains. The former is a narmy rehash of Chairman Drek with some elements of Gleeman Vox, and the latter is infamous for being ThatOneBoss and a PlotTwist gone wrong.
202%% 1st game Ratchet and Y.E.T.I.s don't count per https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13598973560A64980100&page=235#comment-5856
203* ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}'': Globox's cowardly, idiotic tendencies overshadowed his good nature for many. While players could get their revenge in ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'', where his poor judgement is used more comedically, it didn't do much to rectify the character. However, he improved a lot following ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'': because of his endearing animations and focus almost exclusively on his positives, he's one of the most popular characters to play as.
204* ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'':
205** ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' has Ashley Graham, the President's hapless daughter and unfortunate kidnapee. She's defenseless, whiny, and in [[DamselScrappy constant need of rescue]]. Not to mention her constant cries of, "Heeelp! Leooon!" began to grate on many gamers' nerves. Subverted in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4Remake'' in which Ashley is royally RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap being actually incredibly likeable and not nearly as annoying thanks to moderate AdaptationalBadass and good chemistry with Leon. Ironically ''[=RE4make=]'' Ada is considered TheScrappy this time round by a some fans rather than Ashley — due to TheOtherDarrin voice work, poor voice direction and generally being less cool than she was in the original.
206** Helena Harper of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' is the least popular of the six protagonists, mostly because she's not only boring personality-wise, but is also arrogant, very short tempered, and does a ''lot'' of [[{{Wangst}} whining]]. The revelation that she replaced ''[[EnsembleDarkhorse Claire Redfield]]'' only made her [[ReplacementScrappy even less popular]][[note]]According to WordOfGod Claire was intended to be Leon's partner until fairly late in the game but had to be dropped because of Claire's presence in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations2'' which was being developed at the same time[[/note]].
207** Without a doubt though, the number one scrappy of ''Resident Evil'' is Steve Burnside of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilCodeVeronica.'' Alternating between whiny EmoTeen and arrogant {{Jerkass}}, sending Claire on fetch quests to get him guns that he promptly wastes all the ammo for, wrecking the crane you've just finished fixing because he was [[DistractedByTheSexy staring at Claire's ass,]] and trying to justify it all with some truly wangsty cutscenes, you won't find a lot of Steve fans out there. The devs seem to know this as the game ends with the implication that he'll be BackFromTheDead...in 2000, and he hasn't been seen since. There’s also the fact Steve was a clear substitute for fan favourite Leon, which as you can imagine are shoes he’d never be able to fill.
208** Claire likes to collect them apparently, as in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'' she had Sherry, a 12-year-old girl who would whine in almost every scene she was in, run off like a brat at the drop of a hat, and didn't have any means of protecting herself when the game forced you to play as her. To top it off, she would curl up into a ball in the sections where she accompanied Claire if you ran too far ahead of her, too far ahead being about ten feet away. Like Ashely however, Sherry would be RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap thanks to TakingALevelInBadass in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' to the extent she’s one of the unambiguous positives of the BrokenBase game and ''[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2Remake RE2make]]'' even makes her 12-year-old self much better with her playable segment being considered by far one of the best and purest SurvivalHorror parts of the game.
209* ''VideoGame/RuneFactory'':
210** The main bachelorettes of the franchise receive a lot of heat for the way that the game favors them and tries to nudge you in their direction. Mist is much more regularly involved in the plot, images of Kyle and Mana hanging out hog the mass majority of Rune Factory 2's first OP, the second OP of ''Rune Factory 3'' shows Micah running up to Shara in her wedding dress and twirling around with her while holding hands regardless of who you actually married, they get flirty dialogue very early, etc.
211** A bit of clarification on Shara, the heroine of ''VideoGame/RuneFactory3'': despise being a legitimate sweet girl, helping whenever she can, being the official sunny smiles of the town of Sharance... Once married, she sours up something ''horrible''! She develops a bit of an attitude, all her lines display hints of jealously... it's like the Shara you knew before marriage was faking who she was for the express purpose of making the player hers and nobody else's. For this reason, many ''many'' players deliberately avoid marrying her, if anything to keep her personality.
212*** Kuruna, from the same game. Guess that they needed someone to play the role of the JRPG elf and yell about how HumansAreTheRealMonsters since the actual elves are too busy living amongst the humans and being amiable. Her racist attitude combined with fact that she resides in an out-of-the-way location makes her one of the least popular marriage candidates in the game and easily the most hated.
213* ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'':
214** Shaundi fell into this role by the third game, having changed from snarky cheerful stoner chick into a super serious, ultra-violent loudmouth only occupied with taking revenge, to the point where the Boss seems reasonable. The fourth game [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap rescued]] her by explaining that a combination of new responsibilities and stress from being a Reality TV star, SurvivorsGuilt from [[spoiler:Johnny's]] supposed death and self-hatred over being known as TheLoad lead to this drastic transformation [[TookALevelInKindness and she gradually becomes less bitchy]]. It helps that Shaundi as she appears in ''Saints Row 2'' (named Fun Shaundi) is also in the game and a big part of Shaudi's aformentioned character development comes from her interacting with her past counterpart and coming to terms with it.
215** Also from ''Saints Row the Third'', the former wrestler Angel De La Muerte is widely hated by the fanbase. First he deems the player character (the Boss) too weak to take on his former tag team partner Killbane and his gang of armed luchadores, ignoring that the Boss has already wiped out 6 similarly strong gangs and a paramilitary security force in previous games, mostly [[OneManArmy alone]]. This is in addition to their long list of impressive feats, along with regularly taking on an entire police force. Second, he makes a big deal out of having to "earn" his wrestling mask back in the ring instead of stealing it... only to shoot up the casino it is in and actually steal it after wasting your time with other missions. Third, he convinces the player character to agree on helping him to have a rematch with Killbane instead of just killing him as the player character suggest, with his reasoning being that him humiliating Killbane on live television is worse than just killing him, only for the player character to finish the fight for him, then Angel calling him/her later saying that they have to kill Killbane. Overall, he appears as a massive cowardly hypocrite in addition to having an overinflated ego. Being [[QuestionableCasting voiced by]] Wrestling/HulkHogan of all people also likely doesn't help.
216** Killbane himself is also one of the most disliked antagonists in the series mainly for [[spoiler:being forced into the role of the main villain]] despite being the most shallow and uninteresting of the bad guys.
217* The Soda Poppers from ''VideoGame/{{Sam and Max|FreelancePolice}}'' became hugely hated in the fanbase. In a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, Telltale Games [[spoiler:made it turn out in the second season finale that they were really evil, and that they were trying to use their Scrappy-like annoyingness to take over Hell and cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. And then killed them off by [[DroppedABridgeOnHim dumping gallons of molten lava]] on them in the final scene.]] Now ''that's'' how you please your fans!
218* ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'': The Mayor of Scuttle Town, [[MayorPain Mayor Scuttlebutt]] is loathed by the fanbase. This is mostly due to his habit of repeatedly firing Shantae on the stupidest imaginable pretexts. It doesn't help that at one point he sells the entire town to the Ammo Baron, just so he doesn't have to deal with the Baron's forces and Risky at the same time (nevermind that ''Shantae'' is the one who deals with any problems that Scuttle Town has), [[KarmaHoudini and gets away with it]], while also learning nothing in the process.
219* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' has a lot of characters, but only a select few qualify for Scrappy-dom:
220** Nozomi Suemitsu, the "Gourmet King", in ''VideoGame/Persona3'''s Moon Social Link is widely considered the worst Social Link in the entire series, and not entirely without reason. He's disliked for having one of the weakest backstories in the series, as while the impact his brother's death had on him is genuinely sad, the fact that it's only revealed in the final event means it's too little, too late for many. He's an [[{{Jerkass}} abrasive]], [[{{Gonk}} ugly]] [[BigEater glutton]] who's revealed to be scamming people out of their money for a ChurchOfHappyology, and he makes little to no attempt to [[CharacterDevelopment better himself after befriending the player]] as the entirety of the Link just has him stuffing his face while wallowing in his (mostly self-inflicted) misery. As if Creator/{{Atlus}} was made well-aware of this, both he, Mamoru and Saori are the only Social Link characters who don't appear in ''any'' of the Drama [=CDs=], and while Saori is both well-liked and has the excuse of being the only completely new character as the [=FeMC's=] Hermit social link, and Mamoru is decently-liked as a character and is universally-regarded as an essential Social Link for [[GameBreaker Helel alone]], Nozomi has no such excuse.
221** ''VideoGame/Persona5'' has a lot of different characters, where even the ones that are relatively unpopular in comparison (like Ohya) still have a clear fandom. These two, however, are clear exceptions:
222*** Eiko from Makoto's Confidant is not very well-liked among players. The main criticism is that most of the Confidant is more [[SpotlightStealingSquad focused on her]], with most of Makoto's CharacterDevelopment in it being reliant on Eiko. She constantly acts stupid, shallow, and spoiled, and is also widely disliked for not listening to Makoto as a result of becoming blinded by her "love" for Tsukasa. Even after Makoto and Joker prove that Tsukasa is a lying, cheating, backstabbing loser who was just using Eiko for his own selfish whims, Eiko still yells at Makoto for getting involved in her business, making Eiko get viewed as an UngratefulBastard by the fandom. Not helping matters is the fact that Eiko's alleged apology to Makoto and decision to become responsible happens completely off-screen, so the player never sees her as anything other than her negative traits listed above.
223*** Even by the standards of AmericansHateTingle, the [[CampGay Shinjuku Creatures]] NPC duo that the player encounters in Shinjuku and the beach are utterly reviled. While the jokes about Kanji's sexuality in ''VideoGame/Persona4'' were [[BrokenBase polarizing]], many players loathed the pair for being [[AllGaysArePedophiles unfunny stereotypes]] who [[{{Squick}} prey on minors]], especially in their beach scene. It's even more jarring due to Atlus' previous experiences with non-stereotypical LGBT portrayal ([[AmbiguouslyBi Kanji]] and ''VideoGame/Persona2'''s Jun, an openly gay party member who was also a romance option, as well as [[VideoGame/{{Catherine}} Erica]], a non-stereotypical trans woman), the pair come across as a glaring step back. The hatred for these two even extended outside of the game's fanbase, and they were considered ''so'' offensive that when ''[[UpdatedReRelease Royal]]'' came around, [[AuthorsSavingThrow they were practically removed for western localizations]]. What truly pushes them to this trope is that even in Japan, [[ValuesDissonance a country that doesn't even bat an eye at media making teasing jokes at LGBTQ+ people]], they aren't seen as all that great, with [[EveryoneHasStandards some LGBTQ+ people and even standard Japanese gamers there voicing their open dislike for the pair]].
224* ''VideoGame/SidMeiersAlphaCentauri'':
225** Sister Miriam Godwinsson. Miriam is essentially the game's version of Isabella from ''Civilization IV''. As an annoying bible-thumper with a crippling research deficiency who is incredibly warlike and inevitably ends up stepping on the toes of every other faction by complaining that they're not embracing Christian fundamentalism. Most players of ''Alpha Centauri'' tend to be immediately alienated by her fluff alone and make it a point to eradicate her some point down the line with their inevitable technical superiority.
226** She's also hated in-universe, as her ideology puts her against ''every'' single faction in all ways: game mechanics, novelisation fluff and GURPS setting. It says something, when even [[MerchantPrince Morgan]], who is willing [[PragmaticVillainy to trade even with inhuman totalitarian police states for resources]] doesn't want to have anything to do with Miriam.
227* ''Franchise/SilentHill'': While the series is full of polarising characters, only two characters seem to be all but universally hated.
228** Of all the Silent Hill characters, none attract such utter loathing as Laura from ''VideoGame/SilentHill2''. In every one of her scenes with James she regularly insults him, goes out of her way to be unhelpful, and at one point locks him in a room filled with incredibly suggestive monsters. While entirely justified from her own side, her final scene where she rages at James at the ''worst'' possible time is the metaphorical final straw for many. Whilst WordOfGod is that Laura doesn't see any of the things that James does, meaning that, to him, he's being locked in a room full of monsters, but to her, she's just playing a prank on the old fartface who [[spoiler: was mean to Mary and hardly ever came to visit her on her deathbed]], this is incredibly vague in-game and so [[DeathOfTheAuthor the creator's comments are soundly ignored by much of the fandom]]. The fact that the very ''best'' of the game's {{Multiple Endings}} features James adopting Laura does ''not'' help - if anything, it incenses her sizable {{Hatedom}}.
229** Henry Townshend of ''VideoGame/SilentHill4'' is soundly disliked, with many complaints leveled against his lackluster, emotionless dialogue, his "dull" backstory[[note]]which literally boils down to "he's a random schmuck who just happened to pick a cursed apartment"[[/note]], and the lack of any perceived CharacterDevelopment or [[FlatCharacter deeper investment in the mysteries surrounding him]]. He is considered perhaps the worst protagonist of ''any'' Silent Hill game so far. Whilst it's a minor element, the fact he's responsible for spouting many of the game's dumber lines certainly contributes to the dislike people have of him..
230* [[RogerRabbitEffect Danica Patrick]] in ''[[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed]]'', hated because: 1) She's a real person in a Sega crossover game, 2) She's a NASCAR racer, and 3) She looks completely out-of-place.
231* ''VideoGame/SlyCooperThievesInTime'': Cyrille Le Paradox is one of the most widely disliked characters in the entire ''series'' as of this game, and it goes beyond merely being a HateSink. In part, due to having a weak backstory and [[DisproportionateRetribution petty reason for messing with Sly's family]] despite being built up as a scary and mysterious villain, having an insufferable {{Jerkass}} demeanor towards everyone around him, and because his FrenchJerk traits are seen as annoying and immature as opposed to entertaining like with previous villains, as many of them have other entertaining traits to despite a few of them also being based off of stereotypes. The fact that he's also ''why'' the game has a SuddenDownerEnding with Sly lost in Egypt is what caps off the fandom's dislike for him.
232* Patroklos, the main character of ''VideoGame/SoulcaliburV'' is easily the most hated character in all of ''VideoGame/SoulSeries''. He has a downright horrifying EstablishingCharacterMoment where he cements himself as a full-on {{Jerkass}} by killing an innocent man in cold blood, a quasi-incestuous relationship with his sister, and implausibly forced CharacterDevelopment that makes it near-impossible for most fans to recognize any growth from him. He also [[IdiotHero needs literally everything spelled out for him]] and [[FantasticRacism is a bigot]] who claims to be [[TheChosenOne a holy warrior.]] Add this to his status as a clear DesignatedHero that the game practically forces players to accept and the fact that the rest of the cast, even the returning characters and newcomers are all DemotedToExtra [[SpotlightStealingSquad so he can hog all the screen time]], and you have yourself a character so reviled that he was completely written out of ''VI'' with nobody missing him in the slightest.
233** To give you a better idea of just how hated Patroklos is, the official Facebook character popularity poll had Patroklos placed 37th out of 45 characters with only 32 votes cast for him... out of 10,000 votes cast total. Patroklos had far fewer votes than Hwang, Lizardman, Rock, Li Long and Dampierre, and only slightly more than Leixia, who is considered a bad MovesetClone of fan-favourite Xianghua. Project Soul later did revisions to the characters' lore and tweaked minor elements of their biographies, and used the chance to [[TakeThatScrappy utterly slam Patroklos in his own entry]] as a right bastard who knew deep down that he has completely failed to uphold his heroic mother's legacy, though his arrogance would never allow him to publicly admit it. This came to a head in ''VI'' when [[spoiler:Cassandra learns from her Original Timeline!self that the events of ''V'' are a BadFuture for her family that she must prevent ever coming to pass; while Patroklos is not mentioned, it's a clear signal that the new direction for ''Soul'' is pointed as far away as ''V'' as possible.]] Even people who did not feel strongly either way about Patroklos will admit that the game severely bungled an otherwise-promising ComingOfAgeStory where a boy's love and desire for revenge led him to become an UnwittingPawn for the machinations of both swords.
234* Adray from ''VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime'' is considered by many to be an unnecessary addition to the ''Director's Cut''/overseas versions. This is due to him being shoehorned into the plot and is forced into your party, which prevents you from recruiting all of the characters that you want. His subpar and overall awkward combat performance also earns him a lot of hate. The fact that he joins you instead of the actually-important fan favorite Clair or the similarly-liked Nel and Albel only makes things worse.[[note]]While Nel and Albel can be recruited, they are both optional characters.[[/note]]
235* The Parrot from ''VideoGame/StarshipTitanic''.
236** [[IntendedAudienceReaction An intentional one]], granted (The SpaceshipGirl outright apologizes to you about it), but they [[GoneHorriblyRight succeeded a bit too well for some players]].
237** It's so bad, most players [[GuideDangIt that get that far]] have trouble deciding which is the good ending. In the "bad ending", you [[StuffBlowingUp die in a fire]]... but so does the parrot. And you even get to hear it freaking out right before the explosion too, as a reward for dealing with its nonsense all game.
238* ''VideoGame/StarTrekOnline'':
239** Tovan Khev, the Romulan captain's first Bridge Officer. Unlike K'Gen and Elisa Flores, his counterparts for the KDF and Federation respectively, Tovan is forced upon the player, his story about finding his missing sister takes up most of the game, you can't dismiss him afterwards and, until a later patch, couldn't even modify his looks!
240** Koren, the captain of the Klingon CoolShip I.K.S. ''Bortasqu''' When players got to first see her, they felt she was a pretty awesome character, seeing as she was the counterpart for the Federation's CoolShip captain, the Andorian Va'Kel Shon (who's captain of the ''Enterprise''-F), who players felt belonged here instead. However, her subsequent appearances changed people's tunes as it was shown that she only had two personality trats: Rage and Homicidal Rage. Not only that, her appearance in the mission "Surface Tension" made her out to be a SpoiledBrat, whining about how the Federation were cowards for [[spoiler:not showing up to save Qo'noS from the Undine.]]
241* Twelve from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' ends up on many players' shitlists for his bland design and lack of personality.
242* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'':
243** [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Lee Linjun]], TheNeidermeyer captain of the Shirogane, is a stuck-up {{Jerkass}} perfectionist who has very little concern on his subordinates and always look down on [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Tetsuya Onodera]], always giving him his frustrations while in practice, his high and mighty attitude always lead to disaster; and then, he got caught by stupidity, then [[FaceHeelTurn turns traitor]]. Right after that, he crosses the MoralEventHorizon [[spoiler: by killing [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Daitetsu Minase]]]]. From that point on, it doesn't matter if he had a sad past of losing his wife, all of his negativities eclipsed all of them, and there was much rejoicing when he met his end by charging like an idiot towards Tetsuya... who's commanding the battleship Kurogane...''[[ThisIsADrill with a drill on its bow]]''.
244*** Much to everyone's surprise, Lee survived all those (the remake made it that he retreated after all) and returned in ''Second Original Generation'', still acting like a pompous ass and sided with Arteil Stenbuck/[[spoiler:Euzzeth Gozzo]], but... [[spoiler:that game sheds the possibility of him getting RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap when in the end, he admitted how pathetic he has become and rammed his ship in a suicide attack against Euzzeth, freeing Ing Egret from Euzzeth's grip and eventually letting the good guys win against Euzzeth. While some would point out that Lee still acted out of pride rather than admitting his mistakes, him actually helping the good guys after a long record of being TheLoad kind of gave him a better light and response.]]
245** [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Wilhelm von Juergen]], the "supposed" BigBad of the OVA and makes an appearance later in the games. When you look at him, things seems normal: a candidate AntiVillain, perhaps, and he only got over the top for overreacting on the loss of his family against the [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Aerogaters]], with intentions in re-building the ODE System ''clearly'' justified. But in process of that, he manages to be a unrepentant massive BigBadWannabe, who caught [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAdvance Lamia Loveless]] only by luck, and when she made it clear that her mind cannot be overridden that easily with the ODE System's programming, he crosses the MoralEventHorizon by shooting her while she's battered, defenseless and naked, making it look like she gets KilledOffForReal and suffered a huge case of {{Chickification}}. Fortunately, this is just a teaser to ''Original Generation Gaiden'', which is thankfully rectified in this GaidenGame sequel, as she turns up NotQuiteDead and Juergen's killed immediately afterwards by [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsReversal Duminuss]] for [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outliving his "usefulness"]]. Yet despite that, all his sympathy points are shot to hell, and players look at him with A LOT of contempt. However, it's less than likely you'll find those who are vocal in their hatred towards Juergen when compared to Lee's, because every one of Juergen's appearance is in a NoExportForYou format (the very small number of western players that DO know about him, they just can't find it in themselves to like him in any way). It also doesn't help that the Bartolls, which use the ODE System, are massive GoddamnedBats in ''Original Generation Gaiden''.
246*** Juergen might be getting out of this because he gets even more obscure for people to care about, and ''Second Original Generation'' reveals that there's someone worse in terms of in-story personality (though expected): [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha Kaoru Tomine]], who used his ODE data along with other systems' data to create even more dangerous things ''consciously'' (when at least Juergen was too driven by grief) and when he died, he had a VillainousBreakdown stating that he's supposed to be on higher levels compared to other scientists, ''including Juergen''. Kaoru himself isn't a Scrappy, but he kinda helped vindicating Juergen's status storywise.
247** It's uncommon to find an [=SRW=] protagonist for players to dislike, but it's even rarer to have a protagonist become outright ''despised''. Enter [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsK Mist Rex]] of ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsK''. Where to start? He's an idiot that can't read the mood: when everyone is surprised at the Anime/{{Over|manKingGainer}}devil disappearing, he just goes "Man, that was a tough enemy, huh?" for no reason. He speaks of things like the ''slavery'' back on his home planet nonchalantly, even if it involves friends of his. His recklessness forces him to [[LeeroyJenkins attack stronger villains without thinking twice about it]]...''repeatedly''. Worse, he's in a LoveTriangle with two other heroines that aren't all that interesting either, but manages to [[RomanticPlotTumor overtake a decent chunk of the plot]], including [[DemotedToExtra pushing aside]] the better LoveTriangle from ''Anime/{{Godannar}}''. To cap it off, his HumongousMecha is ugly as hell and when combined with the robot of his chosen girl, it becomes ''even uglier'', if that's possible. In Mist's defense, the previous UsefulNotes/NintendoDS [=SRW=], ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsW'', had some of the [[EnsembleDarkhorse most popular and beloved originals]], so he suffers a bit from ToughActToFollow, but even with that aside, Rex is just bland and uninspired, to the point where fans want him to NOT appear in ''Original Generation'', or if he even appears, the first thing to do is ''have his personality fixed'', through rewriting or some heroes calling out his bullshit (and judging by the record of how the OG Saga do variations nearing FixFic, it's highly possible, if Mist is in at all). The hatedom surrounding Mist has since elevated him into MemeticMutation: occasionally when there's a new [=SRW=] announced, {{Troll}}s start picking up his scrappiness and photoshop Mist into said game, just to annoy people.
248** Although as of late, the Meme is kind of dying, but even then, unlike Lee and Juergen, Mist hasn't seen the chance of being redeemed in the eyes of the fans, unless he's confirmed to get into the OG series, reboot or not, and gets a rounded personality fix.
249* A newcomer of ''VideoGame/Tekken7'', Lucky Chloe, has turned out to be this. Many people despise her for her high pitched voice, GratuitousEnglish, her character design, and being a Japanese idol with CatGirl motif, meaning that she totally and deliberately caters to the {{Moe}} crowd, and even her moveset. She gained some fans once people actually got to play her, but she remains a divisive character, and the vocal hatred towards her from the U.S. ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'' fanbase reached such levels that the writers [[AscendedMeme made it canon]] and it was written into her backstory.
250* ''VideoGame/{{Terranigma}}'':
251** Perel, the annoying stereotypical black 90s skateboarding kid, who for some reason gets to be one of Ark's closest allies on the surface world.
252** Meilin also annoys quite a few players, and she gets ''even more'' screentime.
253* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'': The Angler, who is the only child character in the game...which is a title he tarnishes by being an utterly infuriating SpoiledBrat. He's bossy and demanding, he treats your character like dirt, and is constantly pulling "pranks" on the other residents, such as putting undead fish into their furniture and piranha teeth into chairs. And you can only do [[ScrappyMechanic one of his fishing quests per day]], which is especially aggravating when you're trying to get the rarer rewards which have an already infuriatingly low drop rate. Even worse for those who want to give him the same treatment as The Guide, ImprobableInfantSurvival is in full effect, even lampshaded somewhat. If his HP is ever reduced to 0, [[NoSell he simply poofs away in a puff of smoke, with the chat log "<Name> Has left."]] This being in a game that contains voodoo magic, bloodthirsty organs, and hell itself.
254* Zip and Alister from ''VideoGame/TombRaiderLegend'' gained this status among a large portion of the fanbase, and many others for that matter, very soon after the game's release with their constant [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper non-optional, hint-giving, atmosphere-breaking]] waffling.
255** Natla in the Crystal Dynamics games - she appears more than once as the main villain, and simply ''won't die'' no matter what you do to her (even after seemingly being obliterated). This goes so far as having its own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o28cGVLKLFw scrappy song.]]
256* Angie is the pariah of the ''VideoGame/TraumaCenter'' community because of her self-righteous attitude, constant criticizing of Derek ([[JerkassHasAPoint though he does admittedly deserve it sometimes]]) [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and the fact that she almost never calls Derek by his first name]] despite being his partner and [[StrangledByTheRedString supposed love interest.]]
257** Many fans found it extremely hard to forgive Angie for [[spoiler: telling Linda Reid, ''[[EmoTeen a depressed, suicidal, teenage patient]]'', that [[DesignatedHero "she should just die"]]]].
258** People were even more furious at Angie for blaming Derek for Emilio's death by saying that he became arrogant and negligent by relying on his Healing Touch. This is in spite of the fact that Derek had three patients infected with GUILT to go through before he could even get to Emilio. This consequently leads Derek into a depressive spiral that makes him lose his Healing Touch for a whole chapter! Worst of all, Angie is almost never called out for her incessantly bitchy behavior or the fact that she more often than not makes things much worse.
259* ''VideoGame/ValdisStoryAbyssalCity'': Sezzi, the leader of Ishk, sends you into one of the game's most notorious {{That One Level}}s in the name of retrieving his ''hammer''. Once you've done this and (apparently) gained his trust, he tells you that he had all the divine keys destroyed when the enemy showed up. He then asks you to storm two separate enemy bases and kill the generals inside, which is about as hard as it sounds, so that he can get the materials to forge a new key. Upon doing this, he pulls a divine key out of his pocket, meaning that the past couple hours of gameplay were entirely pointless. If you're playing as Wyatt, add the fact that he knows Wyatt's father and still gave him the runaround, and if you're playing as Reina or Gilda, add blatant misogyny coupled with a JustJokingJustification. All three of these characters echo the player's frustration by giving him a death threat, which you sadly never get to follow up on. Well, unless you [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential have his entire village freeze to death]], that is.
260* ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'': Cezary, a [[FantasticRacism Darcsen-hating]] {{Jerkass}} of a sniper who always seems to look out for himself only, and got quite a few KickTheDog moments in the manga. It doesn't help that he's considered a low-tier sniper, especially compared to people like [[BigBrotherInstinct Oscar]], [[CoolBigSis Catherine]] or [[EnsembleDarkhorse Marina]].
261* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' [[ColonCancer :]] ''Soulstorm'' has [[LargeHam Indrick]] [[GeneralFailure Boreale]], the Space Marine commander. Why is he a scrappy? Oh, he only gave the stupidest, most {{Narm}}-ridden RousingSpeech ever. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJMLfACod48 Watch here]]. He was so much derp and fail that the sequel, ''Dawn of War II'' has a TakeThat [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5fO0oo66r4 against him]]. However, the fact that said speech turned him into a FountainOfMemes has caused the more jokey portions of the fanbase to accept him with open arms.
262** Another example: Autarch Kayleth from ''Dawn of War II: Retribution'', the main protagonist of the Eldar campaign. An arrogant [[{{Jerkass}} bitch]] who's [[CantArgueWithElves continuous mouthfuls of condescending snark]] caused many players to cry "[[ScrewYouElves Screw You, Eldar!]]" The other Eldar characters, [[ColdSniper Ron]][[DeadpanSnarker ahn]] and [[MagicKnight Veldoran]] were much more well-received, and Kayleth gets ''very slightly'' better after a BreakTheHaughty moment via [[spoiler:Azariah Kyras]].
263*** The Eldar in general were a notorious GameBreaker back in the original ''Dawn of War'' and its expansions ''Winter Assault'' and ''Dark Crusade''.
264** The Chaos character for ''Winter Assault'', Crull, wasn't exactly well-liked either, since he was kind of low on personality next to all the others. Bale had an odd-couple relationship with Sindri and sounded like [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Dinobot]], Eliphas was devious, talented, and surprisingly intimidating, Carron was so {{narm}}y and bad at his job that it was [[FountainOfMemes almost impossible to hate him]], and Araghast was downright psychotic. Crull, by comparison, was just kind of the standard Khornate Chaos Lord, and didn't really do much but shout "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD" and get killed by Gorgutz.
265* ''Videogame/WeWhoAreAboutToDie'' has In-Universe examples in the Desperate Politician origin Aspirants. They're the sons of utterly incompetent and disgraced politicians, they can't fight for shit at first, they're ''still'' rich and they have their own bodyguards and ''will'' unfairly drag them into fights against regular gladiators. Not to mention they're ''still'' politicians themselves and their whole gladiatorial career is just a desperate campaign stunt. As a result, the crowd ''despises'' them at first and it's very, ''very'' hard for them to win the populus over. Thanks to this they barely have any Fame to spend at any given time.
266* There may be quite a few people who'd like to shoot the host of ''VideoGame/WiiParty'' because of his voice and ugly looks.
267* Todd "Maniac" Marshall from the various ''VideoGame/WingCommander'' games. He's the lowest-ranked pilot in the squad, but always likes to [[SmallNameBigEgo brag about how he's hot stuff]]. You're not supposed to shoot down your wingmen, but we doubt the [=COs=] would mind if someone "accidentally" fired a few "warning shots" in Maniac's direction just to get him to ''shut up''. In the first mission you fly with him in the original game, during the mission briefing, Col. Halcyon gives specific permission to the player character to blow Maniac out of space if he causes any trouble, and advises the PC to use guns to do it, and save missiles for important targets (The [[OhCrap look on Maniac's face]] at this part is ''priceless'').
268** Despite the fact that he was unbelievably obnoxious, almost universally hated by fans, and even the other characters almost universally loathed him, Origin either hates players, or never quite got the message, as he manages to survive all the way until the last game. And it's not that they don't kill off major characters - it's an AnyoneCanDie series, where significant and beloved characters die frequently, often in particularly meaningless ways.
269** His status as a Scrappy is softened somewhat in the third game, as the actor playing Maniac is none other than [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Biff freakin' Tannen himself]], Creator/ThomasFWilson. Still, in a game where you can take damage from friendly fire, Maniac was the one most likely to do it, usually at the worst possible time in a dogfight.
270** [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap Reversed]] in ''Prophecy''. After a certain and rather ironic turn of events, Maniac becomes an extremely [[LargeHam hammy]] BoisterousBruiser and one of the Midway's elite circle of pilots (led by the player). He survives, while Christopher Blair aka Maverick aka YOU from the preceding games who was worshiped by the Kilrathi doesn't!
271* ''VideoGame/TheWitchAndTheHundredKnight'': Belda, the appropriately named Scum Witch. The atrocities she committed throughout the game would have made her a HateSink if the game didn't try to give her a FreudianExcuse (she was bullied and only Heintz showed kindness to her) that felt forced and quite frankly was too little too late by the time it was revealed. Also, while several nasty characters who were revived at the end become somewhat better people, she is the only character to not have changed in the slightest, making her a KarmaHoudini as well.
272* ''VideoGame/TheWitchAndTheHundredKnight2'': Amalie. Many find her lack of development throughout the game frustrating, and the constant focus on her misadventures (much of which involves carrying the IdiotBall) means that a lot of the more interesting characters don't get the proper time to develop.
273* ''VideoGame/Wizard101'' has Nolan Stormgate, the Myth wizard you're trying to help in Cyclops Lane early on. He is a {{Narcissist}}ic {{Jerkass}} who outright questions why you're at Cyclops Lane when you first speak to him, and boasts about how important he was to that street's questline despite contributing jackshit (claiming that the player couldn't have defeated General Akilles without his "brilliant planning").
274* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles'':
275** ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'': Lorithia is supposed to be a HateSink, but many fans flat-out dislike her character, deriding her as a bland villain who suddenly turned her back on the heroes out of nowhere and did not have any backstory, motivation, or much screentime to make her interesting, which makes her stick out compared to the sympathetic Egil, the more personally loathsome Metal Face, or [[spoiler:her fellow traitors Zanza and Dickson]]. She also happens to [[ThatOneBoss have the most notorious boss fight in the game]] where she constantly spams [[BrokenRecord "You’ll pay for your insolence"]].
276** From ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'', Tatsu is derided as an unfunny TagalongKid with a single joke: being mistaken for food. His main problem is that he never actually does any fighting with the party, and often only manages to get the party into trouble[[labelnote:*]]While all the other games have Nopon in similar roles, [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Riki]] tempered his annoying tendencies with moments of surprise wisdom and being an excellent party member, [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2 Tora]] had an interesting arc and gameplay gimmicks that earned his keep in ThatOneLevel, and [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3 Riku & Manana]] have an entire quest chain about proving their personal worth and a hero class that gives an amazing support skill[[/labelnote]]. His horrid voice doesn't help matters either.
