In games, there can be a slight misunderstanding of who the nicest characters are. Sometimes characters can be a bit grumpy or snotty in certain video games, such as Joel from the Last of Us or even Kratos from the God of War series. Not all video game stars are as happy and giddy as the famous Mario, where he rescues Peach countless amounts of times.
Whether it be an older title that released long ago like Mario or even a more recent game like Infamous Second Son there is a pattern with all these characters. Most of them either had a rough back story or just straight up mean. That’s where we can understand where they are coming from and why the act the way they do. Granted, not everyone has a bad backstory, but most of them tend to exactly that.
Here are all the characters in games who are known for having a very bad attitude. What do you think of these characters? Any of them personally relate to you?
