While there are dozens of examples of subtle, well-realized characters in games, there are also characters who blaze beyond, and are so over-the-top that they have all the subtlety of a boot to the head.
Lots of games tread the relatively safe waters of cliche. That may have more to do with games needing only the scantest of details to put into perspective why the on-screen avatar is doing whatever he or she is being asked to do. But there are also higher-order games that take their characters and crank up the volume. Here are 6 of the greatest over-the-top video game characters ever created.
Duke Nukem only came here to do two things: personify the one-dimensional action heroes of 1980s films, and borrow a famous line from John Carpenter's They Live. And he's out of famous lines. Not content to be just a muscle-bound, cigar-chomping murder machine, Duke hides a 20-pound maul of machismo behind his wrap-around sunglasses. He can use a urinal, just like a real man, and his primary interactions with women all involve paying them to pay attention to him. At the end of the futuristic Duke Nukem Forever, Duke pulled a Kanye and announced his candidacy for president. If elected, it would make him the 69th president of the United States.
