15 Most Offensive Gaming Characters Ever
6. Samus Aran (Metroid: Other M)
The Character: One of the most iconic heroines in the history of the video game medium, Samus is a steely, no-nonsense galactic bounty hunter. but beneath that awesome exoskeleton suit, she's also a figure of beauty. What's not to like?
Why They're Offensive: Samus' characteristion was sadly dealt a huge blow in the prequel game Other M, where a younger Samus is shown to be emotionally unstable, immature and constantly looking to her male superior for authorization. Abandoning the stiff-upper-lip toughness of her previous portrayal, here Samus is a whiner and erratic, far from the grizzled bada** of previous games.
It's proof enough that some silent protagonists should just stay silent, especially when their voice is this annoying. What could have been a novel way to develop Samus more as a character ultimately turned out to be a huge insult to fans.
