Well, I did the post about the ladies who I think are just too hot, so now I am going to talk about the guys who are just too gorgeous for words. Hope you enjoy!
10. Vincent Valentine
Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy: Dirge of Cerberus
Here is a guy who is the cool kind of dark and brooding. While the characters like Edward from Twilight are pretentious and boring, this guy has an interesting backstory. He is a science experiment gone wrong. Now, he is less man than monster. But it’s okay. The lanky and not buff look isn’t a turn-off for me. I don’t actually like all muscle guys. Here, that pale face and cold outlook is just what I love. I would definitely enjoy getting into his mind (and his pants) and finding out what makes him tick. A lot about him is shrouded in mystery. He was a man, who fell in love with a woman. The same scientist who killed her then mutated him into a monster. While outwardly cold, he does have a solid heart. A cool characters for a few cool games.
9. Ramirez
Skies of Arcadia
The whole silvery-white hair color thing, I love it. Ramirez is of the same race as Fina. He came down before her, to see the world with his own eyes. After a while, he is corrupted by it, and turns to the evil of the Valuan Admiral, Galcian. Not only does he have the look that says that your ass is grass, but he has the power to back it up. He has this totally awesome attack where he will vanish out of existence, cut you to ribbons, and then phase back in. It does some MAJOR damage. All in all, there isn’t a thing not to like. Sure, he’s evil, but I could definitely get past it for, fun with him.
8. Cloud Strife
Final Fantasy VII
This is another dark and brooding character, but probably the most famous of the Final Fantasy series badasses. And he most definitely is. Not only does this guy have some major power, but he he a weapon that is bigger than him. That alone makes him really awesome. He can effortlessly heft that blade, all the while looking like he doesn’t even notice how big it is. He can face down with the most awesome badass in gaming history – Sephiroth. There isn’t anything about the guy that isn’t to like. And of course, he looks great doing it.
7. Link
The Legend of Zelda series
Now, I know what you are going to say – he’s a guy in tights. Well you know what, I don’t care. He’s a guy in tights who is totally badass, and knows it. Every game he’s in, he owns. Hell, he’s even chosen by the Triforce as the symbol of courage. He’s a badass when he’s a kid, he’s a badass when he’s an adult. This guy is so cool, he is a badass when he is a cell-shaded dork! There is no form that he has that isn’t badass. And anybody who can slay a dragon is going to be sexy. It’s one of the unwritten rules of all cinematic works. All in all, while he never spoke, speech wasn’t necessary. He was awesome without it.
6. Leon Kennedy
Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4
The boyish haircut aside, Leon is awesome. I am SO looking forward to seeing him in the next game. Unlike Chris Redfield, who is unbelievably buff, Leon looks like somebody who is genuinely badass without all the insane levels of training. He just has natural talent. After surviving Raccoon City, and the outbreak of Las Plagas, you know he’s awesome. While he is being awesome, he is also very smooth. Ashley Graham had the right idea – fuck his brains out! Of course, he declined her offer. I don’t know what, she was kind of hot too.
5. Edge Geraldine
Final Fantasy IV
You never see his face, but this guy is the definition of awesome. I mean, take a look at his weapon! How he would be able to wield something like that is totally beyond me. But it’s not just that. He can wield Katanas, gloves, and throwing stars. He is not only cool, a ninja, but the dude is also a prince! Oh yeah, totally badass, and royalty. That hits the spot. He rules a country called Eblan. Now, since his parents are assumed to be dead, he should rightfully be a King, which makes it even better. But with the cool white hair look going on, some definite muscle power, and being a badass ninja, what’s not to love?
4. Raiden
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot
Now, I want to make very clear that I am excluding the character from Metal Gear Solid 2. He was a whiny little bitch. But in this game, not only was he badass, he was THE badass. Every other character in that game could suck his cyborg dick. He can wield a sword with his foot, can fight even when he has no arms, but cooler than all of that, he will stab right through himself to get his enemy! In this game, he has changed a lot from his intro in Metal Gear Solid 2. He was experimented on by the Sons of the Patriots. Now, he is back, and better than ever. This dude is so cool that he bleeds white! It’s sythetic blood, but yeah, that’s awesome. No amount of punishment can keep him down. Both of his fights with Vamp are nothing short of epic. This was an awesome game, made all the moreso by Raiden. When you do finally get to see under his armor…yeah, it’s awesome.
3. Dante
The Devil May Cry series
The game I want to focus on in-particular is Devil May Cry 3. In this game, he was nothing short of badass. I love the intro to the game. A horde of demons bust into his place, stab him repeatedly, but he doesn’t even seem to care. He only gets pissed when one of them steps in his pizza. After that, he lays the smack-down on them! In the first game, awesome. Second game, awesome. Third, awesome. I didn’t play the fourth, so yeah. But his badassery doesn’t stop there. When he is fighting his brother, Virgil, his brother stabs him through the hand, and he uses it to keep him close. He literally gets stabbed between two of his fingers, and he holds the blade there, in the middle of his hand! Bloody and awesome! He’ll kill whatever stands in his way, but isn’t above having some four-play during battle. Yeah, he’s badass, and as you can see, gorgeous as hell.
2. Desmond Miles
The Assassin’s Creed series
Like Raiden, when you first meet Desmond, he is kind of a whiny little bitch. But by the end of the first game, he gets a lot more awesome. He is an Assassin who chose to leave his world behind. He starts a new life, but gets captures by Abstergo. They put him into the Animus, and you get to meet his ancestors. Assassins all, they were badass too. Gradually, Desmond learns the tricks of their trade. Through a bleeding effect, he becomes a total badass too. By the end of Brotherhood, Desmond is just as nimble and capable in battle as his ancestors. I am definitely hoping to see more of him in action soon.
Each of these guys is awesome, and gorgeous, but not one can hold a candle to this guy -
1. Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood, and Revelations
Oh dear god. Not only is this guy gorgeous, but he knows it! Ezio is well-aware of the fact that he is a god. He starts out a whiny little bitch (a lot like Desmond), but he is trained in the ways of the Assassins, and by the end of the first game, is the rising star. In Brotherhood, though, that is where you get to see him at his best. In Assassin’s Creed II, he was a student. Here, he is the master. He is even made the head of the Assassin’s Order by the end of Brotherhood. But for real, this dude is the bomb. Not only is his fighting skill beyond compare, but so are his charming skills. A complete man-whore, he can charm his way into almost any woman’s pants. When people like Catarina Sforze (A REALLY big real-life historical figure) are jumping at the chance to get into bed with you, you know that you have done something right. But for real, he’s got looks, he’s got talent, and he’s got charisma. What more could you possibly want?
Until next time, a quote,
“Do not fear the darkness, but welcome its embrace.” -Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood
Peace out,
Maverick
