Break It Off Before It’s Too Late!
We’ve seen so many great examples of female video game characters over the past couple of years. Some in the form of protagonists, others as villains and even a few as engaging romance options. That being said, when compared to the travesties that were these love interests, any character would look great by comparison. If your avatar is looking for affection, stay away at all costs!
#5: Emily Davis
“Until Dawn†(2015)
When it comes to deciding the fate of our favorite fictional characters, it quickly becomes a daunting and emotional task. “Until Dawn†forced us to make those decisions multiple times, but there was one character most of us didn’t mind leaving behind: Emily Davis. From the moment Em arrives back at the cabin, she comes off as the most venomous person anyone could date. Not only is she rude to ex-boyfriend Mike, but she’s treats her current boyfriend, Matt, just as terribly. Needless to say, our pity didn’t last long if she didn’t make it to the end of the story. Besides, no one slaps our darling Ashley!
#4: Juliet Starling
“Lollipop Chainsaw†(2012)
At first glance, Juliet Starling is any high school boy’s dream girlfriend. Blonde, spunky, and captain of the cheerleading squad? Who wouldn’t want to date her? Well, if a zombie apocalypse was on the horizon, you’d be better off looking elsewhere. Throughout “Lollipop Chainsawâ€, Juliet shows very little concern over her friends and family. She’ll gleefully hack away at zombies and talk about her social life than thinking about where her parents might be or if her boyfriend Nick will ever get to have a body again. Of course, her tune changes when Nick and her Dad sacrifice themselves to destroy Killabilly. Where was that affection during the rest of the game, sweetheart?
#3: Dahlia Hawthorne
“Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials & Tribulations†(2005)
There just had to be a psychopath on this list somewhere! You know, most of the ladies on this list made it because of being dumb, careless, or flatout unloyal. As for Dahlia, well…she freakin’ killed a guy! Then, she forced another man who was infactuated with her to take the fall and confess to the crime. Afterwards, she forces the same guy to commit suicide in order to completely erase any evidence tracing back to her. Want to know the most bizarre thing? She used to go out with Phoenix Wright! Like, dude! How did you not see the red flags before you entered the relationship?! You could have died!
#2: Princess Elise
“Sonic the Hedgehog†(2006)
At first, we were considering Amy Rose for this list. Then, a particular name came up that made us rethink everything: Princess Elise, aka the girl who kissed an anthropomorphic cartoon hedgehog to bring him back to life. We could rant about that scene all day, but the main reason she’s on here is because of how she manages let herself get kidnapped several times IN ONE GAME. I mean … Do you have no sense of self-preservation? Either your guards are too stupid or you need training in self-defense! Say what you want about Princess Peach but at least she takes some measures. Where as Elise spends most of the game clasping her hands together waiting for something to happen to her. Urrhhh!
#1: Catalina
“Grand Theft Auto III†(2001)
The world of the “Grand Theft Auto†series is a cruel one, and its people like Catalina the reinforce that belief. Throughout most of “Grand Theft Auto III†she seems like a genuine person (aside from the vulgar language and aggressive personality). After spending a good chunk of the game being faithful to Carl, she leaves him for Claude, and the last phone call Carl receives from her is when she’s having sex with Claude. Dang, that’s…that’s just cruel. Carl may not have been the best boyfriend, but was the phone call that necessary? Well, she couldn’t be any worse than Michelle was in “GTA IVâ€
