10 Best Silent Protagonists In Gaming History
6. The New Kid
The very idea of a silent protagonist is just ripe for parody. After all, the very concept of a person who simply doesn't ever seem to talk going on to do the things that they are capable of doing in a videogame is a ludicrous - yet accepted - trope that gamers have gotten used to over the years.
Of course, if there is something that needs a little fun poked at it, you can guarantee that Matt Stone and Trey Parker will not be far behind. After all, they have been doing just that since the debut of South Park in 1997 and don't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down now.
So when the pair announced the Stick of Truth, fans were hoping for a game that actually lived up to the quality of the series. It was duly delivered, with The New Kid taking centre stage despite never saying a single word.
He is an affectionate parody of so many things that players love about videogames, making him one of the funniest silent protagonists of all time.
