Game characters you could replace with a potato (Oh boy)

Heh. Kratos. I could never understand why people would get tattoos of the guy. Great games, but the character is nothing to write home about.
Also, if I said this on Reddit, the downvotes would have rained.

hah, when I read the title I thought to myself, Gordon Freeman, and there he was.

Much write, very gaming
Well that's certainly one of the weirdest articles I've ever read.
When I read the heading I couldn't really think of any game character that you could replace with a potato.
GLaDOS, tho. Come on.

You could replace the majority of CoD or Battlefield protagonists - and in some cases antagonists - with potatoes.
Knowing Activision, I'm surprised that they haven't made that a DLC yet.
You could replace Lara Croft with a potato - with two smaller triangle shaped potatoes in a certain region - as well. Especially in her earlier installments. 2013 Lara would be a bit more difficult though.

I was so disappointed with the characters in Battlefield 3. Especially the Russian guy you play as, looks like a real badass in the cutscenes and when you meet him with the other character, but when you're playing as them they are just boring potatoes following orders. That's why I hate silent protagonists.

When I read it, I thought GlaDOS! But that was probably too obvious

I have no idea who you're talking about
I'm impressed that you manged to get thorough the BF3 campaign. After 20 minutes I couldn't take it anymore, it was terrible. Really not my cup of tea.Yeah, that was my biggest problem with HL2 and it's episodes. Increasingly intense emotional stuff is happening, and Gordon says nothing. They're betrayed, Gordan says nothing. Alyx nearly dies, Gordan says nothing. A certain influential person dies at the end of Episode 2, Gordan still says nothing. It really breaks any notion of immersion for me. Say something, anything dammit!
Honestly, I hope Valve gives him a voice for HL3, even if he doesn't say a lot. The silent protagonist might have worked in the original, but it just doesn't work nowadays. Unlike Chell, there's no reason for Gordan to be silent. It's my opinion, but characters need to have personalities, they can't just be blank, semi-lifeless slates.

I doubt they will, way too many will defend it. That's if there ever is a HL3.

Yeah, I have a feeling they won't. 'Tis but a dream "whistling:
It's being worked on. It's always been worked on, but whatever they had originally has been scrapped. From the leaks we know that they started anew around 2010, and that there is still a sizable team working on it.
After the port of DOTA 2 to Souce 2, L4D3 will be the first new game to launch with the engine. I'd say that HL3 has a chance in 2016 or 2017, if it ever manages to reach the ridiculous standards that Valve has set for it. I wish they were a public company, they've had so many projects cancelled late into development. I remember that they had all but finished a really intriguing space game a few years back that they never released, not to mention the original Portal 2 prototype, F.Stop, which sounded really awesome.

Valve cannot count to three. This is particularly evident when you look at many of their titles.

Will lift for boobs!
Just imagine!!! You come running down an alley... Getting out your bad ass AK ready to mow down any person on the other side!!! Your hart start to race, and you start breathing loudly! Your hands start to sweat! You slow down as you get to the corner of the well... sneaking closer! Turning the corner at an eagle to take anyone by surprise on the other side!
BAHM!!!!! A potato runs across, leaving a trail of potato feathers, distracting you momentarily.... BOOM head shot, and you are dead..
True story :/
