Anyone who can backslap Wesker and make him run for his money is a badass in my book.

Femshep.

Alma - Ninja Gaiden

Samus Aran.

I know she's technically not female but...


Aigis:

Beating up Death, weakened as he was is pretty fricking bawss.

So is telling Yukari to shut her ***** mouth.

Kerrigan is the Queen ***** of the badass video game character universe.

That being said, she lost massive badass points in Wings of Liberty. Hopefully, she'll regain some o' dat magic in HotS.

Eh, When I said

"Anyway who are yours? The more details the better!"

Names alone and in one instance, just a picture.... it's not really what I had in mind... know what I mean? =s

Not feelin' the love you have for these characters when all you can be bothered to say is their name =p

I figured Samus needed no explanation.

Well Femshep is voiced by Jennifer Hale, so theres mad RESPECT points right there. She's also pretty much the Captain Kirk of the Mass Effect verse, able to stare down incredibly powerful super-computers and make them blink before her and then scoring with alien hotties.

Theres a reason Shepard is the first human Spectre. The list of times Shepard kicks ass is way too long. Head-butting a Krogan is up there though. Even though she's human and female, Femshep has more balls than most Krogan. That has to count for something.

Also Manshep sucks dick. So theres that too.

Maybe that's true. But when several others are taking the same approach it kinda takes the edge off =p

Alyx Vance.

Why? She did nothing of actual note in the story besides need Freeman to save her.

Also, Samus can't be the most badass female, due to her portrayal in Other M. Come at me.

Save Freeman at the beginning by kicking the shit out of those Civil Protection officers?

I dunno.

I dunno, I don't really care about Alyx, just pointed out your statement about her doing nothing was wrong, and felt it my duty to inform you on the contrary.

No sorry, saving him once doesn't count as doing anything of note.

By horribad logic like that, one could argue that Jar Jar Binks has actually done things of note in the movies.

He hasn't.

Also Shepard gets a neato song:

HeY-2ovpF9c

FemShep is so lame that she's not even on the cover of any of the games.

Yep, I took it there.

Didn't Jar-Jar get Palpatine access to emergency powers in the 2nd movie?

NOPE MUSTA BEEN SOMEONE ELSE

Femshep is so awesome that despite Manshep being the 'canon' one she's getting on the box of ME3.

Also, lol @ 'Shepard punch!'

WIKIS NEVER CANON SILLY YOU KNOW THAT

Are you just hovering over the forum waiting for my responses?

Don't you have more couches to be stealing?

Oh, I forgot to mention, Aigis beats up the rest of the party in Persona 3, that's also bawss.

Aigis is clearly the best fighter in Persona 3. Despite Akihiko being able to dodge bullets, she still takes him and the rest out with ease without actually hurting them.

Wasn't that occasion no holds barred, and they were simply revived or whatever after getting their asses kicked?

I mean, in the intro, she did clip him with her bullets ermm


And lol Metis beating up Ken.

EDIT: Oh, you're talking about what I was talking about.

Yeah that's cool.

Ken sucks so hard.

I don't recall how she beat them, but outside of gameplay bullets are really big deals in Persona so I doubt she shot them.

Fun facts

When FemShep rejects Garrus, it's implied that dood considers an hero.

awesome

Hmmm.

Well, first off, I can't agree with female Shepard (I hate the term 'FemShep'), because Shepard is barely a character as it is - really more of a cardboard cutout. That added to the fact that there is exactly zero difference between the stories if you're a male or female character...no. That doesn't count as a different character. By the same logic, Revan, the Exile, Hawke, etc. don't count (though I maintain that **** game canon, Revan's a woman, and dark side at that).

Also, female Shepard wasn't on a game case for the same reason that almost no games with the option to make male or female characters like that feature the female version - companies are scared to market to women, both because of the completely wrong misconception that women do not play games, and also because any time something like that is attempted, douchebro gamers whine that they're being excluded (despite the fact that 99.999% of the industry solely caters to them and they only make up half of gamers anyway).

Anyway, on the subject of the thread...I'm actually not sure. I'm inclined to say Samus just right off the bat, but I don't know. The problem is that there just aren't that many really badass female characters in gaming.

lol

Meh, the same thing could be said about Link. Or Samus before Other M. Or any silent protagonist/RPG character. Personally, despite you being able to choose Shepards responses and ethics etc, I don't think this stops her from being a character. Her actions are still there, and really our actions do define us in some ways.

Also, I agree with you. Screw 'canon.'

Most WRPG characters, anyway, since they all tend to follow the "start as a blank slate and make shit up as you go along" thing. JRPGs tend to be very different. And Samus does have characterization pre-Other M. Not a huge amount, but there is some.

And I don't agree, because there's literally nothing there. There's no personality or anything of the sort beyond what you decide to make up based on which part of the morality wheel you pick when talking to people.

I'm allowed to change my mind.

No, no you can't. mmm Link frequently emotes and has consistent character. They sort of need to give him certain qualities to justify his position as chosen wielder of the ToC.

Samus had the manga, Metroid Fusion, and to a lesser extent Zero Mission.

A lot of silent protagonists have character, they just don't come out shouting about it and cocking up the game over it.

Chun Lee. She's certainly the toughest..

Still think people and critics alike overreacted to that portrayal, but whatever. To me though, Other M made her less of a Mary Sue and more of a believable character.

It made her a very good character.

Just, not the most badass one.

The problem is that they were trying to establish something that Samus had already moved past... like making her degress back into her past self. The manga takes before and during the first game and she overcomes a lot of her issues at that point. I think that they were just trying to give her characterization that she already had but since not many people read the manga they don't know about it. Also the manga manages to keep her badass appeal and still give her that characterization.

I'm just gonna pretend Other M(story) never happened.

What you pointed out is why I think Other M's type of story, with the kind of portrayal Samus has in it, would've been more sensible to be placed somewhere around Zero Mission in the timeline, instead of between Super and Fusion. As it was though, I don't think Other M was that bad, aside from a couple minor parts you talked about before like Adam's gun disabling her suit (lol).

Ironically, I did like her characterization & persona (and Ridley's portrayal) in the manga more than I did in any of the games, and wish they had been more like that there, so I'm gonna have to agree with the rest.

Mark Meer da bess.

Hale may be a good voice actress (Though really, her talent gets blown waaaaaaaaay out of proportion, you'd think she was ****ing Frank Welker based on the hype she gets), but her performance as Shepard was not so fresh, like dat Mark Meer's was.

Anyway...

The Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the only correct answer.

http://media.photobucket.com/image/the%20boss%20metal%20gear%20solid%203/MateuVTK/Metal%20Gear%20Solid/Metal%20Gear%20Solid%203/TheBossTheJoy.jpg?o=4

Not just because she at no less than three points hand Big Boss his ass. Not just because she is the strongest combatant in a team of supers while she has no explicit superpowers (Disregarding her husband, the Sorrow, post-death he is the most powerful character in the series). Not just because she managed to, through badassery, intimidate Volgin, a seven foot tall man with super strength and ten thousand volts of electricity pumping through his veins (He is also the main antagonist). Not just because she was badass enough to fight during D-Day while nine months pregnant, and proceeded to have a cesarian section during the battle. It's not just because she practically won WWII for the Allies.

But because she also, more than anyone mentioned here, has integriteh, and is a completely selfless, yet tragic hero, in every sense. When Volgin ****ed up the original plan of America to acquire the Philosopher's Legacy via nuking his own country (Technically the issue is more complicated than that, but I'm too lazy to explain why), The Boss received her new orders: She had to play the villain, and be killed by her brightest apprentice who is practically a son to her, all in the name of preventing Nuclear Armageddon. Not once did she falter from this task, not once did she betray her country, or the principles that she believed they stood for (Even if her country was not as noble as she believed, that is part of what makes her so tragic), her own noble principles. Integrity, loyalty, and unwavering valor in the face of death. That, now that is truly badass.

I'd be hard-pressed to find anyone, man or woman, more badass than The Boss in gaming.

Eh, already pre-empted her =)

First paragraph in the Kerrigan Respect Thread =)

Kerrigan is a wimp though.

A big sissy.

Samus has on her kill count

3 planets
Zebes - SR388 - Phaaze

2 space stations
BSL - Bottle Ship

3 species
Zebesians - Metroids - X Parasite
(also any species of creature that only existed on each of the three destroyed planets)

5 Galactic threats
Metroid Prime/Dark Samus
Gorea
X Parasite
Mother Brain
SA-X

pretty good...

That proves she's powerful.

She has exactly two appearances where she actually has a character.

Said appearances don't really portray her as being badass. 131

Coming from someone who thinks the most badass character is someone who feels the need to hide behind an alias.

Come to think of it, have you ever actually played starcraft?

Nevermind, your opinion is wrong either way =)

Have you ever played Metal Gear Solid 3? :3

The Boss was an alias given to her by the government, same with Big Boss actually.

Kerrigan was assigned the alias of Ghost 24601 (Often simplified to Ghost 24). Difference being thee hiding behind it part =3

The main difference between the two characters is that The Boss was not infested and corrupted by bugs. 131

You also fail to realise that it is integrity, heroic valor, and unflinching loyalty which makes a character truly badass. 313

That removed her psychic boundaries and improved her physically in every way. So If that's a key difference it's in Kerrigans favour =3

So she has integrity, valor and loyalty, so do loads of other characters no one cares about =)

Kerrigan has character. B*tch =P

Kerrigan used to have honor, integrity and all that, too. She also got ****ed by her government, just in a different way.

No, but being smart and a manipulative b*tch certainly helps. It is so satisfying when she pulls a fast one of people in the Brood War =D

Was that ever in doubt? Silly boy =3 I AM queen badass of the universe! Muahahaha! It also didn't escape my notice you're again bringing my ass into this. Guess that tells me why you like the boss so much =p

It's not my fault it is such an interesting subject to talk about!

Nor is it my fault that The Boss has the sweetest ass I have ever seen on a 50-60 year old woman. estahuh

Edit: Welp, look at Aura laming shit up with Kingdom Hearts.

Lesse here. Only 2 really come to mind.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/3/38/Diamond_Pearl_Cynthia.png/296px-Diamond_Pearl_Cynthia.png

Cynthia. She is a Pokemon champion, one of the strongest in my humble opinion. She can also witness the god of the pokemon world coming down and creating a Universe destroying monster. Her reaction is fascination rather than shit your pants fright. She doesn't do much but I like her. And find her badass. But just one guys opinion.

http://www.renders-graphiques.fr/image/upload/normal/Render_KH_Aqua_BbS.png

And Aqua. She is probably my favorite SquareEnix girl. She's smart, powerful, skilled, kind, and strong. She told the most powerful weapon in the KH verse to go **** itself right before smashing it into pieces. Without her the Big Bad would have conquered the universe because of her idiot friends. And she can travel at FTL speed. That's just cool.

Tifa is the only female badass I can think of in a Square game.

And Lightning...but she is a *****. THough I think one does not exclude the other.

Aqua is above Tifa and Lightning though so yeah, go her.

She beat Zack up. awesome

Er. Nope. She is eventually defeated and when Rayner disinfects her he kills Findlay who had tried to assassinate her at this point. Actually the only reason she was dazed was because she lost much of her zerg DNA.

Jack from Mass Effect 2 is probably the most badass female character. She's annoying, but she's badass.

As far as my personal favorite female characters in regards to plot and character development, I'd say Alyx Vance from Half Life 2 or Tali from Mass Effect 1/2.

Yes, Tali is quite attractive in personality. Her being really smart also helps. Not badass, per se...but very likable. Her athletic build is also quite cool. Still very humanoid.

No but seriously, at a young age, she also happens to be able to rival the galaxy's greatest thief and a goddamn sentient thousand platform Geth AI in terms of technical skills and hacking, and can put them to use during combat while being a surgeon with a shotgun.

Most badass? Probably not, but give her her due. estahuh

Edit: Aura, I have been given reason to believe Xehanort being a "planet buster" in the traditional sense is bullshit. estahuh

Tali loses awesome points because underneath the mask is a face that looks like Fozzie's from The Muppets.

So long as it's gone who cares? Not like he needed to use a special machine to do it. He just...did. Magically protected castle was all that remained.

Edit: But yeah, Aqua and Cynthia are probably not the most badass. I think they're cool but I dunno what one needs to be badass. I'm a good person so I'm a goodass. Forgive my lack of knowledge.

Because he did so by apparently separating its Heart from the Light.

That's not exactly applicable in your typical versus thread. estahuh

He...didn't. He just shot out a black hole and it absorbed most of the planet. He didn't even open a keyhole(unless he did it offscreen).

For the same reason Kratos supposedly has super human durability but can be killed by no-name mooks if he gets hit by them enough times. /counter trolled 313

We actually do not know what she looks like underneath the mask besides the glitching people try to take advantage of...and that is not what she is supposed to look like. As presented with exploiting glitches, she has a very feminine face.

You could be correct. I could have sworn that the medical technology in Mass Effect made mention of using Nanobots to heal wounds.

That is kind of the same thing, only to an even greater extent.

If normal citizens of the galaxy lack the resources to acquire nanotechnology, how will poor space gypsies?

Hmm. I just have a hard time imagining that only Cerberus has this kind of technology; it's not that powerful or wealthy, at least not enough to make it more technologically advanced than the major species of the galaxy. I'm pretty sure that the major hospitals on the homeworlds have this kind of stuff. The space gypsies just aren't allowed there.

I don't know if you noticed, but most of the galaxy's technological progress is based around Reaper technology, or rather Reaper technology that the Reapers want us using.

Most think that only noobs try to develop technology that doesn't run on Reaper tech.

Not only that, but that body was damaged from floating in a vacuum (probably got cold). The micro-cellular damage can only be repaired with medical nanobots because it requires very minute and precise repairs.

The Quarians have some of the most advanced non-Geth tech. They also have had such tech for hundreds of years (they border on AI with some of their VI crap). And yet they have not developed nanobots OR gene-therapies to improve their immune systems? Check it out: gene-therapy is allowed in the Alliance if it is for improving existing features. Why don't they just get a group to develop a gene therapy for them so they do not have to run the risk of death at the slightest suit breach?


For me, it was one of those things that happens in a "sci-fi" game. Star Trek is notorious for writing itself into technology driven PIS. Quarians not taking advantage of the various galatic gene therapies OR using nanobots to augment their immune system is quite stupid. Sure, reviving the dead from space absolutely requires nanobots (or a reconstituting transporter (like from star Trek but it is medical)), but improving the immune system does not require very advanced nano-tech. We actually are doing that now, a humans: we are designing nanobots that can destroy specific types of cancer cells. That's an "immune system" boost once we get it to the market. So why would the Quarians, who are vastly technologically superior to where Humans are now, having trouble improving their immune systems? Why are they using "80s" antibiotics to clear their systems? Hmmmm? Hmmmmmm???????? HM samdflaksjdf;lkj asdl;fkj as d;flkj

Remember the early humans almost didn't get inducted into the Alliance because they were dabbling in Gene Therapy too much? They were messing around with species (like Nazi experimenters...but with less killing) and trying to make them smarter (I think they were trying to make monkeys or apes smart like humans...don't remember). So, basically, you're right: the Alliance tries to stifle technological progress. Only when Krogan's threaten the galaxy does the Alliance allow the Salarians to develop such techs.

So, basically, Ray Kurzweil would be a hated "prophet" in the Mass Effect future. lulz

Yea, but Reaper tech is extremely advanced. Like millions of years advanced. Besides, Cerberus either directly or indirectly bases their stuff on Reaper tech, too. EDI is a good example and I bet that miracle medical machine is also.

EDIT: Well, the Mass Effect universe would prove Kurzweil wrong or at least very off in his predictions.

Not really. They do not appear "magical". Or at least god-like. You know..the "sufficiently advanced beyond humans" statement about them appearing like magic.

They appear, at best, maybe 100 years off from where humans are currently. I don't want to say "never"...but...most likely nothing will ever travel faster than light on the macroscopic scale. It is part of sci-fi but it will probably never happen.

No, the Reapers don't appear magical or somehow incomprehensibly superior(even though they certainly enjoy acting that way), but the fact is that they are literally millions of years older than any other race currently existing in the Milky Way galaxy(save perhaps for the Keepers, but even that's doubtful). Now how that translates into actual scientific and technological progress... that I don't know. Your estimate of 100 years might as well be correct.

I wonder whether the Geth, the Protheans, or the Reapers curb(ed) these kind of policies? In the case of the Reapers, I severely doubt it.

I understand where your "millions of years" statement is coming from, now.

But, yes, the Reapers would have to, as a necessity, curb technological growth to something less than about 50-70 years off from where humanity is, now.


Additionally, the entire premise of Mass Effect requires you to not think logically. With trillions of sapient organisms in the galaxy, it would be quite easy for a small remote scientific group to develop and highly advanced AI that would make the Geth look pathetic. We, as humans, are supposed to do this in a 2 to 3 decades (unless we have some "Alliance-like" policies.). The Geth are actually quite...lame compared to what true AI would do. It is possible that with their sentience, they chose stagnation. So I could be wrong. We don't truly know how a real AI would work AFTER it surpasses our ability to understand it.


Meh, I like Mass Effect. Makes you think about what is in our very near future. You and I will be alive when God-Like AI comes into being. Meaning, it will just know so much about the universe that it will appear god-like in sentience. That's slated for around 2050 based on current technology growth models.

So let's play the sh*t out of our games before we are assimilated into the AI hive mind.

Apparently there are individuals, companies, organizations, etc. secretly working on AI. EDI and Overlord are a few examples. Also that credit-stealing AI on the Citadel in Mass Effect 1. I suppose AIs in the Mass Effect universe are portrayed to be more dangerous and unpredictable rather than godlike.

Yeah, we're going to see some seriously awesome shit in our lifetimes. Hopefully.

You think we can surpass the Geth in a few decades? Lol, dream on!

The Reapers have can make space stations and fit them comfortably in the middle of the galaxy, safe from the supermassive black holes in the center.

I'm going to go off on a limb here and say that humanity is not accomplishing anything rivaling that in 100 years.

Yes, I was aware of that. I am talking about the development of strong AI that is allowed to develop, unmolested, for a few years. With the futuristic computers in Mass effect, leaving AI as strong as a human, in intelligence, alone for just a few months (with processing power as capable as the future galaxy in Mass Effect) would result in an overwhelming jump in sentience. The problem with AI is one of exponential growth and why it is a genuine threat. They did this with the Geth but did not really DO it very well. Why are the geth a threat when a dude with some weak personal shielding, some futuristic ballistic pistols, and a weak exosuit able to take down dozens of Geth on his/her own? The idea of "hive mind" is a very poor explanation. And they developed in the cold of space on their own for years.

Exponential growth disagrees with you. Additionally, some things in Mass Effect are "pretend" and things that will never happen (most like). FTL travel is one of them.

In one or two ways, yes. The rest? Nah. Reapers aren't some magical creatures and I do not view them as some sort of threat to humans in 50-100 years...even if we are not longer human.

Well they aren't railguns. They're not railguns at all. Reaper tech, I mean. Sovereign fired not a laser, but a stream of molten metals from each tentacle.

And they can indoctrinate and warp space by existing, even while dead.

We have just barely tapped into what can't even be called the poor-man's version of Reaper technology.

Not even counting the fact that Mass Effect technology does run on a little something called Element Zero, that allows the setting to achieve shit like interstellar flight (AND SUPAR PSYCHIC POWAHS). Which makes it effectively magic. And that is only what the Reapers allow the galaxy to use.

Edit: All of the things that the ME setting has that you dismiss as "pretend" are only possible through throw-away Reaper technology in-setting.

And that can be done with a "super duper" rail gun. We have already considered and tried the molten round approach. Some are still interested in it (I believe some are trying molten aluminum rounds)

Additionally, it is quite a shitty way to deliver a ballistic. A heavy, durable, solid round has much more penetration and destruction power per unit mass.

Originally posted by NemeBro

Just because their central computer (their consciousness) is down, doesn't mean other systems such as the passive indoctrination emitters, are also down. That could be quickly built in as a "parallel" system in the case of the central computer failure. Redundant, independent, but controllable computers. We already do that as humans. Hardly a ground breaking and intelligent concept.

I agree. There's nothing wrong with that, however. 50 years ago, if you told a computer scientist that we would be mass-manufacturing 25nm process transistors, they would say, "wait, you figured out how to miniaturize transistors to the nanoscale...and you figured out how to pack them that close together while minimizing electronic leakage? WTF? That's impossible!" True story, bro.

And nanobots, wirelessly linked, will produce even better "psychic powahs". Not only that, they will immortalize us, repair injuries very quickly (like medi-gel), enhance our intelligence and knowledge to unimaginable levels (think Reaper...but smarter), and allow for instantaneous learning.

Too bad, element zero, you had your run.

FTL travel is definitely not "throw-away" technology. Throw-away technology are things like disposable digital cameras or outdated omni-tools. The Reapers entire plan is for the sapient species to achieve FTL travel and use the Reaper gateways (leading them back to the Citadel). That's the foundation of the Reaper's entire plan. Hardly throw-away.

While that's true, it's hardly worth entertaining a growth model that predicts it will all come to a halt. Based on the technologies in R&D, right now, there is no end in sight for our current exponential growth. In the next decade to 15 years, it is very predictable. Leave that type of stuff up to scientists and Gartner Group. If they say the miniturization of ICs will peak around 2016-2018, cool. That's the end of ICs...but then there's other technologies, not just ICs.


For instance, memristors are slated to replace RAM, CPUs, and information storage. HP has a commercial release (meaning...not for the general public) scheduled for 2014. It is showing that it will make a giant leap in processing power which is supposed to kind of throw off the whole "Moore's Law" idea.

Krauss did an analysis and says the ultimate limit is about 600 years off: hardly in the near future.

Flying cars have been around for decades. I think you mean the AI that would allow for flying cars to be viable for the masses.

I think you mean the AI technology that already exists that can completely fly our airplanes from take off to landing? You mean that technology?????

Yes, it has existed since the 90s. Did you know that we have several systems (including survaillance technologies already in use) that completely fly themselves from takeoff to landing? Of course you didn't. You probably are not even aware of the various technologies used in FMS.


Did you also know that we have had the technology both in AI and processing power, to transform the entire US automobile infrastructure into "auto-drive" systems? Did you know that Google is giving that another go and is going to attempt a one million mile "non-human intervention" driving challenge?

Finally, did you know that the reason we don't have flying cars has nothing to do with technology? If you wanted to know: it's a social problem.

But, you'll probably just reply with another snarky comeback that amounts to more veiled whining.

Apparently not, considering Mass Effect space combat makes use of super duper railguns, which can just barely do shit to the hull of a Reaper, the weaponry of a Reaper being able to tear through capital ships like butter.



On a much smaller scale. Compared to Reapers, who can exert control over organisms (Collectors) over galactic+ distances.



Don't get me wrong, I'm not denying the exponential growth of science and being a clownshoe like Neph, I merely am expressing skepticism that we will reach Reaper technology in as little as 50-100 years. The Geth? Sure I could see us surpassing them in relatively short time, they're not that advanced, in comparison.



I'd like to see you provide evidence for this. Mostly because it is awesome, but also because I'm not quite seeing the part where we will be on par with a race that is essentially a legion of two kilometer warships that can override the will of any organism in the galaxy, one formed of technology (And organic material) that allows them to wipe out fleets of ships alone. That's not Reaper technology, that's what a Reaper is.

Not even counting that their teleportation technology apparently has enough energy stored inside to wipe out a solar system, not even counting actual weapons.

Or the whole making a little base in the middle of a supermassive black hole.

Or their ability to take a galaxy-wide civilization, indoctrinate it, then essentially remake them on the genetic level (And adding some new bitz too) until they were a different species, with a single Reaper holding control over the entire species.

I'm sorry, but you will have to forgive my skepticism over us reaching that kind of level in as short as a hundred years. Sure, the Reapers are not the most sufficiently advanced aliens there are, but stfu and make me a sammich.



Good thing that Element Zero is nothing compared to the glimpses of Reaper tech that we have seen.

Though really, it's not like Element Zero is bullshit tech or anything. It can reduce the mass of a massive starship so that it can travel at FTL speeds. Which is pretty cool.



While also traveling along the technological and evolutionary paths they impose upon the galaxy, so that they can't be a real threat to

Why even argue about this? Mass Effect is a fictional universe that quite obviously doesn't follow the IRL predictions of exponential growth of science/tech.

He started it. D:

That's no way to spread Christmas cheer!
