10 Video Game Douchebags You Can’t Help But Love

2. Captain Price €“ Call of Duty Series

Why He€™s A Douche: Whether you€™re talking about the COD 2 Price, or the Modern Warfare version (considered by some to be the Grandson of the original), it's Price's brash, no-nonsense, sarcastic leadership style that would almost certainly earn him the moniker of douchebag amongst his peers, should he exist in reality. Price is quick to act, and usually that act involves severing a carotid artery without so much as a moment€™s hesitation or a single iota of guilt. He€™s clearly been hardened inside by the untold horrors of war, and that admittedly earns him a little sympathy, but still, I imagine spending a day stuck in a lift with him and his non-stop insults would be as big a chore as it would an honour. Why You Love Him: Despite the fact that he€™d almost certainly ruin a dinner party somehow, he€™s exactly the type of person you€™d want by your side in a military operation. His no-nonsense demeanour and his sheer combat prowess make him an indispensible part of the CoD story mode. And without Price, who would we have had to lead us? And let€™s be completely honest, when insults aren€™t directed towards us personally, they€™re possibly the funniest form of comedy you can get. And Price is always quick with an insult; in fact, these Priceisms (one from memory: €œwe were going to leave you behind, but your arse had all the C4€ €“ brilliant), make up some of the most memorable moments of the various CoD story modes he features in. He€™s a douche, without question, but an impossible douche not to love.
