Donkey Kong 9. Altair 8. Big Daddy 7. Pac-Man 6. Kratos 5. Chris Redfield 4. Marcus Fenix 3. Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Lara Croft 1. Master Chief Seriously the fact that there's no Square characters and the fact that the only Nintendo character they showed was DK, who was pretty much taken under Rareware's wing, means this shouldn't be taken seriously. Sonic, Pac-Man, DK, and Lara are actually UNDERRATED, Master Chief shouldn't be that high, and how many people ACTUALLY know the others? Is this the end of proper gaming journalism? Not even using logic or looking at facts?

Donkey Kong?! Frickin' DONKEY KONG?!?!?! It was from the Donkey Kong franchise that Mario was born. If it weren't for the Donkey Kong franchise, Mario wouldn't become the most successful video-game franchise ever. Bunch of idiots! DK should be number 1 on the list of most UNDERrated characters, with Sonic a close second! It is true though that you can't spell 'IGNORANCE' without 'ign'.

We are one and the same. It's quite obvious, one of us was cloned at birth[how old are you? lol] I was super apalled at DK being on that list. Mario was jumpman in DK before he was ever what he is today. But now it seems DK is more of a Mario character than the other way around. And yea...no FF characters...just goes to show you, that list was some kind of joke. I remember when I first saw that list...I had to check if it said overreated or underrated quite a few times. But Sonic...well, as of lately...what has he really done that's anything worth talking about? Just saying... vs.

Not these current times when Sonic Team is too busy pissing on their Sonic franchise to make a kickass Sonic game. lol

Technically at the time Jumpman, also perhaps the DK franchise indirectly spawned "Kirby" (in namesake at least). Also lol internet opinions Last Edited By: nukeallthewhales 05/27/2009 1:18 PM.

While DK, Sonic, Pac-Man, and Lara are undeniably iconic characters who defined or redefined genres during their prime, the general consensus seems to be that their recent outings are not worthy of maintaining the popularity of these characters. As for Master Chief, the fact that he is basically a nameless hero renders him unworthy of being treated as a well-round character, but I think it is not so much a case of the character being overrated as it is a case of the game being overrated.

The FANS voted for them, so of course they don't want their beloved girly men tarnished. I mean, Donkey Kong? Come on. He's well know, but overrated? Nope, don't see it. Freakin' Tetsuya Nomura ruined everything. I used to look up to you, man! What happened? You used to be cool. My DeviantArt My Danny Phantom Website

Beyond that, this reads like "Characters IGN Hates for the Sake of Being Provocative", arranged on a scale of their own spite. The conspicuous lack of the Straight-Line Block from Tetris also disappoints me. Honestly, where's all the hate for Final Fantasy? Most of Nintendo? Kingdom Hearts? Metal Gear? Megaman? If they're going to pick a hedgehog, at least get it right and choose Shadow.

Posts: 4478 (05/27/2009 5:22 PM) Kyon/John Smith Shipper Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Pac-Man did come in the top three of a major UK retailer's "Top characters of all time" lists a few years back, with Mario and Sonic alongside. Possibly as the particular store was an electronic's retailer with a far older demographic than your typical GAME or EB. So if a poll which was reported in all major UK newspapers claims he is the most popular, ignorant fools and younglings will think him overrated. Quite rightly, infact. Don't forget the flimsy "excuses" are IGN's editorial, the votes are readers. Hence why they seemed discomforted with Master Chief being #1 and only focused on recent gaming exploits (as if that covers the character and their popularity) as reasons for DK and Sonic.

You sometimes have to take what they say with a grain of salt. Okay quite a bit. Timon: Boy, he looks blue... Pumbaa: I'd say brownish-gold Timon: No no no, I mean he's depressed Pumbaa: Oh...

So that explains why the ENTIRE list isn't occupied by nothing but Final Fantasy characters like it should. But still as Rishi already said, Donkey Kong practically made Mario the legend he is today. Oh, and about Kratos being on that list. The thing about Kratos is, God Of War was one of the first times for me where I TRUELY felt like the greatest badass in all of the universe. Sure there was badassness before him, but not quite his god-like (see what I did there? ) level. THEY TOOK OUR JOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBS!!!!!

As for Final Fantasy characters, other than Cloud, Tifa, and Sephiroth, I do not recall any Final Fantasy character having mainstream popularity.
