History TheScrappy / VideoGames

*** Even by the standards of AmericansHateTingle, the [[CampGay Shinjuku Creatures]] NPC duo that the player encounters in Shinjuku and the beach are utterly reviled. While the jokes about Kanji's sexuality in ''VideoGame/Persona4'' were [[BrokenBase polarizing]], many players loathed the pair for being [[AllGaysArePedophiles unfunny stereotypes]] who [[{{Squick}} prey on minors]], especially in their beach scene. It's even more jarring due to Atlus' previous experiences with non-stereotypical LGBT portrayal ([[AmbiguouslyBi Kanji]] and ''VideoGame/Persona2'''s Jun, an openly gay party member who was also a romance option, as well as [[VideoGame/{{Catherine}} Erica]], a non-stereotypical trans woman), the pair come across as a glaring step back. The hatred for these two even extended outside of the game's fanbase, and they were considered ''so'' offensive that when ''[[UpdatedReRelease Royal]]'' came around, [[AuthorsSavingThrow they were practically removed for western localizations]]. What truly pushes them to this trope is that even in Japan, [[ValuesDissonance a country that doesn't even bat an eye at media making teasing jokes at LGBTQ+ people]], they aren't seen as all that great, with [[EveryoneHasStandard some LGBTQ+ people and even standard Japanese gamers]] there there even voicing their open dislike for the pair.

** Nix in ''[=inFAMOUS=] 2''. Although she is intended to being a JerkassWoobie, few players seem to feel any sympathy for her. She grew up in poverty by the bayou, [[spoiler: Joseph Bertrand killed her family with a Ray Sphere]] and now she's forced to live as a freak with pyrokinetic powers. Depressing, right? Wrong. Nix is downright sadistic, showing little concern for anyone who isn't Cole (and she was probably only using him) or her "pets" (Corrupted Swamp Monsters that she had tamed) with most of her Evil Karma suggestions being dumb and dangerous (running a street car full of explosives into a mansion full of forced Conduits as a diversion, for example). The only reason she decided to side with Cole against The Beast was because her pets died in one of The Beast's Ray Field Blasts and because she didn't want him creating more Conduits since, if everyone had super powers, she wouldn't be special anymore. Sucker Punch have made it very difficult to like her.

** Nozomi Suemitsu, the "Gourmet King", in ''VideoGame/Persona3'''s Moon Social Link is widely considered the worst Social Link in the entire series, and not entirely without reason. He's disliked for having one of the weakest backstories in the series, as while the impact his brother's death had on him is genuinely sad, the fact that it's only revealed in the final event means it's too little, too late for many. He's an abrasive, [[BigEater chubby glutton]] who's revealed to be scamming people out of their money for a ChurchOfHappyology, and he makes little to no attempt to [[CharacterDevelopment better himself after befriending the player]] as the entirety of the Link just has him stuffing his face while wallowing in his (mostly self-inflicted) misery.

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'': While the ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' series always has a massive share of controversial characters, this is usually offset due to the series' design around favoritism, support conversations inducing CharacterDevelopment and bias that even the controversial ones would tend to be a BaseBreakingCharacter at worst. Ótr of Book V, meanwhile, [[SarcasmMode accomplishes the impressive task]] of [[EpicFail having]] ''[[EpicFail nothing]]'' [[EpicFail going for him in story, character, gameplay or design]]. He’s inconsistently written throughout Book V, ranging from seeming like an AxCrazy HateSink who hates Reginn, to a TragicVillain who [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wants loved ones]], and then flips between these portrayals so often it makes it seem like the writers don’t know what to do with him. Beyond that, his shallow motivation of not wanting to “lose” Fáfnir, his willingness to kill Reginn out of sheer jealousy, and his manipulation of Nótt via fake feelings of love, didn’t help depict him as a likable character. This might've been fine, if the game didn’t frame him as a tragic villain, rather than being a HateSink like it seems to be trying at first to paint him as. Combined with his gameplay value being mediocre, and he’s widely seen as the worst ''Heroes'' OriginalGeneration character in the game's history, to the point that his first appearance in Choose Your Legends resulted in the single lowest rated ''Heroes'' OC during their first CYL appearance period. To drive this even further, his banner was estimated to be the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/q4bbg4/according_to_sensortower_rankings_the_mythic_otr/ single worst selling banner in the game's history at the time of its release]], and unlike later banners that sold even worse, he doesn't have the excuse of just bad timing from a sales angle.

** Helltaker: The game has several hard puzzles, bland gameplay, boring Characters and The Main Character wants a Furry Demon Harem?,that is lame.

** From ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld'', you have Chica's Magic Rainbow. This character was designed to be an obnoxious {{Jerkass}}, but she accomplishes it a bit too well. Not only is her minigame designed to be a PlatformHell, but she mocks the player every time they die, attacks them at certain points of the game, and kills them and ends the game if they die too much. Not even trying to silence her with the voices off button works, as she kills the player if they try to shut her up. Things get far worse when she decides to replace the indented TrueFinalBoss and carries over the aggravating nature of her game into her fight, having a ZergRush of clones and a three minute time limit before she overkills your party. The only good thing about the Rainbow is finally beating her, upon which she, while dying, accuses the player of cheating and threatens to go after them, too.

*** As far as Mavericks go, Flame Hyenard from is hated for ''never shutting the hell up''. His shrieky, obnoxious voice constantly repeating "BURN! BURN! BURN TO THE GROUND!" gets even worse when he summons clones of himself.

* ''TheScrappy/MegaMan''

** Canary Mary in ''Banjo-Tooie''. She and [[ThatOneSidequest her races]] are utterly reviled by gamers to this day for the rage she induced through her RubberBandAI-based [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard cheating]]. It says a lot when L.O.G., a fellow scrappy from the same series, even ''taunts you about her'' during the ''Nuts & Bolts'' loading screens.
--->'''L.O.G:''' [[TrollingCreator Remember Canary Mary? Did you have fun racing her? How I laughed when I was setting up those levels. I'm still laughing.]]

* The cat from ''VideoGame/CityConnection'' has earned the hatred of many players for popping up out of nowhere and costing them lives. Judging from how frequently this occurs, it's like he's actively trying to make you lose.
* ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'':
** Leaders in the games tend to get this when controlled by the AI. Isabella of Spain in ''Civilization IV'' gets on a ''lot'' of players' nerves for her incessant attempts to [[TheFundamentalist push her religion on you]]--up to and including declaring war at the least provocation--and Montezuma of the Aztecs annoys players by [[BloodKnight attacking them the first opportunity he gets]] [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder even if you have good relations]] and he hasn't got a snowball's chance in Hell of winning (Shaka Zulu and Alexander of Greece do this sometimes, but not ''nearly'' as much as Montezuma).
** The annoyingness of the leaders in Civilization got turned up to eleven in [[UpdatedRerelease Civilization Revolution]], where they speak in obnoxious gibberish and constantly do flamboyant gestures that often times block the text they are saying.
** ''V'' has the usual warmongers (most of which ''will'' act friendly before going to war with you thanks to the new mechanic that allows the [=AI=] to feign friendship), and also Ramkhamhaeng of the Siam empire, who has a pissy AI who will act friendly one minute and denounce you the next; he has no patience for "warmongering" (including retaliation against warmonger civs), hates civs that are doing too well, always asks for stuff from civs he has made a declaration of friendship with and hates them if they don't accept, and regularly drops by to insult you if he doesn't like you.
** Let's not forget, any time you want to trade for something, odds are they'll demand something about eight times as valuable in return.
** Alexander in ''V'' has earned his reputation as one of the most hated leaders in the game with his backstabbing tendencies, his warmongering attitude, his insane competitiveness over city states as well as his jealousy over you trying to compete with city state favours, his insane tendencies to expand and build wonders, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and for being a smug pretty boy]].

* ''Videogame/EndlessSpace2:'' The ''Awakening'' DLC is reviewed ''very'' negatively, all thanks to the revamped Academy system, and its newly prominent leader, Isyander Shumèd. In the normal game, the Academy is a non-faction entity with a home planet, from which you can essentially buy Heroes, which are vital for political maneuvering and general development and warfare within your empire. ''Awakening'' goes and turns it into an outright faction always controlled by the AI, complete with its own diplomatic interactions... and, unfortunately for you, Isyander is a ruthless expansionist that will both take territory away from others and barge into other nations' territory to raid them. You wanna fight back? You're gonna have it rough, as Isyander's got plenty of LostTechnology to make his ships stronger than any other faction's. You win anyways? ''Bad idea'', the game and Isyander both consider this an act of aggression, and not only do the diplomatic penalties for this apply, but he'll stop you from having any interaction with the Academy until you've paid him reparations for your "mockery". You want to befriend him? You can't even begin diplomatic relations until you ''find'' the Academy, which is often lost as hell within the map. Finally found it and managed to befriend him, through the common donation requests he makes every ten years (which you ''cannot'' do until reparations are covered, and which is needed to keep an edge) and other diplomatic tricks? It's pointless anyways, because he'll outright ''forget'' these interactions, go back to Neutral, and start raiding you again. Occupied his home system to teach him a lesson? ''More'' reparations, including you giving him back the system without further ado. You'll be tempted to blow the place up even if it means denying everyone Heroes just so he'll finally piss off. All in all, Isyander and his Academy completely monopolize gameplay in ''Awakening'' by becoming an unbelievable pain in the ass that you and everyone have to appease if you don't want to get stomped into the ground and left trailing behind.

* While Balloon Boy from the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' games is a bit of a pain in-game, the fandom utterly revile him for his [[TheThingThatWouldNotLeave refusal to leave the player alone]] when he finds you. The sheer irritation caused Redditors to call him "Fuckboy" at many an instance, and it helped to coin the infamous catchphrase "[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFuckboys inhale my dong enragement child]]".
** From the spin-off ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld'', you have Chica's Magic Rainbow. This character was designed to be an obnoxious {{Jerkass}}, but she accomplishes it a bit too well. Not only is her minigame designed to be a PlatformHell, but she mocks the player every time they die, attacks them at certain points of the game, and kills them and ends the game if they die too much. Not even trying to silence her with the voices off button works, as she kills the player if they try to shut her up. Things get far worse when she decides to replace the indented TrueFinalBoss and carries over the aggravating nature of her game into her fight, having a ZergRush of clones and a three minute time limit before she overkills your party. The only good thing about the Rainbow is finally beating her, upon which she, while dying, accuses the player of cheating and threatens to go after them, too.

* ''VideoGame/GuildWars: Prophecies'' had Prince Rurik. While a reasonable character, his tendency to charge headlong into combat and leave players behind during his {{Escort Mission}}s led to many people developing an extreme disliking for him. His death was generally well-received.

* ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'': Sandra from ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonANewBeginning A New Beginning]]'' is not popular with fans. Her store hours are crazy, and she demands a ridiculous amount of specific, high-quality items that aren't that special. Actually going out of your way to get the items yourself is usually easier than waiting for her store hours and paying him.
* The text adventure of ''VideoGame/{{The Hobbit|1982}}'' boasted, as a special feature, that its [=NPCs=] had minds of their own. They would wander off, pick up and drop objects and get into fights all on their own, and wouldn't always obey your commands. This was as annoying as it sounds, but the worst offender was undoubtedly Bard of Dale:
-->A massive red dragon appears in the sky!\\
> '''SAY TO BARD "SHOOT THE DRAGON.".'''\\
Nothing happens.\\
The dragon is getting closer.\\
> '''SAY TO BARD "SHOOT THE DRAGON.".'''\\
Bard says "No."\\
The dragon fills the sky to the East!\\
> '''SAY TO BARD "SHOOT THE DRAGON.".'''\\
Bard sits down and starts picking his nose.\\
The dragon opens its mouth. The blood drains from your face as you stare down its gaping throat.\\
> '''SAY TO BARD "DO YOU WANT TO DIE YOU CRAZY BOWMAN.".'''\\
[[SkewedPriorities Bard tells you about attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion]].\\
The searing white flame of the dragon's breath is the last thing you feel as the flesh is stripped from your bones.

*** The Imprisoned is one of the least popular bosses in the entire series, for being both easy and frustrating at the same time, needing to be fought three different times in increasingly annoying ways, and having a [[NightmareRetardant completely laughable design]], looking like a giant black pinecone on tiny little legs with ridiculously large toes, and a giant mouth on top which [[UnfortunateCharacterDesign bears suspicious resemblance to an anus]]. It certainly doesn't help that the Imprisoned also turns out to be the GreaterScopeVillain of the entire series by way of [[spoiler:eventually becoming Demise, and by extension, Ganondorf]]--it makes its silly appearance and repetitive boss battles even more of a letdown.

*** While Saito is supposed to be a HateSink, he's also hated for being an [[ThatOneBoss unfairly difficult boss]] [[RecurringBoss that the game forces you to fight on several different occasions]], all of which happen at points where the player will most likely be unprepared due to lacking access to good healing items. Not helped by his lack of a memorable design or character traits.
*** Makoto Tokita from the Fighter Maker subgame is hated for having an awful moveset, even at max levels, and spending most of his matches backing away instead of actually fighting. For players who are trying to get all of the S ranks for this subgame, he is the bane of their existence.

* MADAGASCAR in the ''VideoGame/{{Pandemic}}'' games for being very hard to infect. It's a country with only one way in (sea ports), and they're very fast to close the ports as soon as your plague becomes apparent anywhere in the world - which makes the game {{unwinnable}}, since the goal is to infect every country in the world.

* ''VideoGame/PlagueInc'' has a few hard-to-infect countries, but the most notorious is Greenland. With only one single port in or out, and with so few ships going there, if it closes before your plague hits their shores, the game is rendered {{unwinnable}}. And even if you do get there, you have to evolve Cold Resistance to maximum, or any infected populace will quickly heal.

** In terms of {{Mook}}s, ''the'' most hated enemy in the franchise is the Y.E.T.I. from ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClankGoingCommando Going Commando]]'' because they're too overpowered. Not only is each of them a LightningBruiser but the Y.E.T.I.s will relentlessly chase after you when you get near. There are burrows where around 5 Y.E.T.I.s spawn, one after the other, let alone how their spawn points are so close to each other. The enemy is so dangerous that even the most powerful weapons have trouble taking these things down before running out of ammo.

* The Sawmill Operator from ''VideoGame/RuneScape''; {{Fan Nickname}}s include [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts "Thief," "That Bastard," and "the Richest Man in RuneScape."]]

** She's also something of a LowTierLetdown. If you play as Sister Miriam's faction in-game, your only hope of winning is attempting to conquer every other faction as quickly as possible. The longer you delay, the bigger the technology gap gets, so there's no room for anything else but pure conquering from the very start. And in hands of AI she's even worse, since AI ''will'' pick Fundamental as social choice, getting even bigger research penalty and having a reason to start all-around war with everyone.

* Wren Insurance from ''[[VideoGame/SimCity Sim City 4]]'' has a lot of hate, due to a programming glitch that caused it to spawn more often than it needed to in the cities. There's a mod to fix this, as well as a mod to completely remove it from the game (as well as the rest of the Maxis buildings).
* The Yeti/"Abominable Snow Monster" in the 8-Bit Windows game ''VideoGame/SkiFree'' is also hated due to [[GameOverMan appearing out of nowhere and eating the player who was just minding their own business skiing down the hill]], and tops it off by [[{{Troll}} jumping up and down victoriously over eating the player, mocking their inability to escape him or kick his ass]]. He's getting like that VideoGame/DuckHunt dog, only with less publicity, and everyone who played VideoGame/SkiFree hates this guy.

* Zealot NPC empires in ''VideoGame/{{Spore}}''. They start with a "We Distrust Strangers" negative relation bonus, ensuring they hate you from the get go. Most of their messages amount to "Pay us 5,000,000 Sporebucks or DIE UNBELIEVER!", ensuring that you'll either go bankrupt, go to war, or run yourself ragged trying to get them to like you so they stop. To top it all off, some, if not most, positive relation bonuses diminish over time, so if you're not careful, you could start back at square one. Want to make it easier on yourself and ally with them? Get ready to have to defend them every five minutes since they're more than willing to declare war on others at the drop of a hat. Woe be unto you if they attack another ally of yours, [[ConflictingLoyalty forcing you to choose who you want to defend and who you want to annoy by not helping.]][[note]] Interestingly, most of these also apply to Warrior NPC empires, yet they don't get nearly as much hate for some reason.[[/note]]

* It took about 15 minutes since the midnight release of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' for Rufus to show up on this page. Take that for what you may. He tends to go in and out of this depending on the week - initially, fans warmed up to his goofy FatBastard personality and {{Acrofatic}} fighting style, but [[HighTierScrappy his cheapness in combat]] soured them right back. The fact that Capcom likes to push him (particularly in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'', where he became Zangief's tag partner over any of the characters that Zangief is actually friendly with) just makes things worse.
** As TheComputerIsACheatingBastard page puts it: "Seth Seth Seth Seth FUCKING SETH." People despise his generic design, his lazy moveset, and being cheap as all get out. Even the game's producer admits to putting Seth at the back to torture people.
** Twelve from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'' ends up on many players' shitlists for his bland design, lack of personality, and being incredibly weak.

* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'':
** The NPC known as "Guide" who appears in every world upon creation, runs around and will move into any house you build. He's supposed to give tips to new players, but [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper there's no way to get rid of him]]; even if he dies, he respawns within a minute. But the worst of all is that he often [[TooDumbToLive opens your house's front doors during night when there's zombies outside]], so it makes them able to enter your house and kill you. Even the creators themselves find him incredibly annoying: they walled him in and trapped him in their LetsPlay (which doesn't help anyway because he can teleport). Redigit even added an item called the [[TakeThatScrappy Guide Voodoo Doll]], [[spoiler:[[VideogameCrueltyPunishment which summons The Wall of Flesh if thrown into the lava pits of the Underworld.]]]]
*** Since 1.0.5, he has become much more useful as he can show you everything you can craft with an item if you show it to him. Crafting is no longer a guessing game, and it certainly makes the world a whole lot kinder to new players who try to experience the game without immediately resorting to a wiki.
*** Lampshaded in the Steam card for him. "He thought it would be funny to open your door and let zombies in, you thought it would be fun to feed his soul to the lord of eternal nightmares."
** As of 1.2.4, The Guide's Scrappy-ness is quickly being eclipsed by The Angler, who is the only child character in the game...which is a title he tarnishes by being an utterly infuriating SpoiledBrat. He's bossy and demanding, he treats your character like dirt, and is constantly pulling "pranks" on the other residents, such as putting undead fish into their furniture and piranha teeth into chairs. And you can only do [[ScrappyMechanic one of his fishing quests per day]], which is especially aggravating when you're trying to get the rarer rewards which have an already infuriatingly low drop rate. Even worse for those who want to give him the same treatment as The Guide, ImprobableInfantSurvival is in full effect, even lampshaded somewhat. If his HP is ever reduced to 0, [[NoSell he simply poofs away in a puff of smoke, with the chat log "<Name> Has left."]] This being in a game that contains voodoo magic, bloodthirsty organs, and hell itself.

* If you played Disney's MMORPG ''VideoGame/ToontownOnline'' a lot and hanged out at the forums, chances are you'll often hear players lamenting about a particular NPC called ''Lil Old Man''. More than often players doing his tasks (and even those who have moved on to the unlocked playground) will wish him death. Surviving the tasks he gives is basically a rite of passage to the final playground, but those tasks tend to be impossible to do solo and are practically time consuming.
* The ''VideoGame/TotalWar'' series:
** Both ''VideoGame/MedievalTotalWar'' and ''VideoGame/MedievalIITotalWar'' put you in the unenviable position of having to deal with UsefulNotes/ThePope. The annoying bloody idiot who will Excommunicate '''you''' for not suing for peace with your enemies when they started the war, and are currently besieging your settlements. Even worse is when your political maneuvering put the ungrateful git in the position to excommunicate you in the first place.

* In the MMORPG ''VideoGame/TricksterOnline'', we have the implacable trio of Genius Cochma, Frog Shaman, and Lethos. Each of the three asks for items that are hard to obtain to begin with, in five sets of five... sometimes going so far as to ask for four different collections of items. Lethos isn't as bad as the other two (usually), and Cochma at least is the warmup NPC for a given region. Still, say "Frog Shaman" to anyone and they're most likely to complain about the latest version of his TwentyBearAsses quest.
* While almost all of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'''s many unique characters are well-liked (except Jerry, who's [[HateSink meant to be hated]]) So Sorry, who is one of the game's {{Bonus Boss}}es, falls into this. Like Muffet, he was included as a backer's Kickstarter reward, but he has received significant hate for quite a few reasons[[note]]The backer in question not only paid ''$1000'' for his character to be in the game, but most fans view the character to be pandering to the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom a bit too much, especially considering that the character has been used in fetish art outside the game. Others also consider it to be a shameless self-insert of the backer's fursona, done in the interests of self-promotion, rather than trying to add something creative and original[[/note]]. Nearly any [=YouTube=] video of the fight with him is an explosion of disdain that leads to flame wars, and has noticeably more dislikes than other ''Undertale'' videos. Even players that don't care about his character find him to be a GoddamnedBoss with frustrating attack patterns and difficulty in being spared/killed.

* ''VideoGame/DuckHunt'': The dog is hated by many players who played this game for one simple fact: It does a mocking laugh if you fail to shoot one duck. It is [[DesignatedHero meant to be the player's hunting companion]] who drives the ducks out of their hiding spots and collect the dead ones for you. Normally, you expect the dog to be disappointed or sad since its efforts was all for naught (and thus makes you feel guilty). But instead, it laughs ''at'' you for missing and given that each round has the ducks [[DifficultyByAcceleration fly faster and more sporadic]], you will [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption experience this moment eventually]]. This led many players wanting to shoot the dog for being a poor sport, and some even believe the dog was never on your side, instead conspiring with the ducks to make your life miserable.

** His inclusion as a playable character since ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros4'' has done a bit for him to be RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap, either because he's given a fun moveset and has a more likeable personality, along with chemistry with his duck companion, or because you [[TakeThatScrappy can finally beat the smug smile out of his face]].

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' has [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters a lot of characters]], but only a select few qualify for Scrappy-dom:

** Rorona. She got turned into an eight year old between games, acts her new age, and her memories have become complete mess. Though her Alchemic skills are still intact, she mainly refuses to use them willingly. A very large portion of fanbase is not pleased. This is apparently because Gust [[ChristmasCake couldn't stand to see her in her 30s]]. "Who wants to see a Rorona in her 30s? Not me, that's for sure!"

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'':

* ''TheScrappy/ShinMegamiTensei''

** ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'':
*** Juju, [[CombatMedic Sharla’s]] younger brother. He is an AnnoyingYoungerSibling who has a tendency [[DidntThinkThisThrough to rush into problems without thinking]]. This means that [[TheMillstone he’s always inadvertently getting the gang into trouble]] as they try to talk some sense into him. [[spoiler:Thankfully, he eventually comes to admit his own faults and stays behind to help rebuild Colony 6]].
*** Lorithia, who many fans think of as being [[spoiler:a bland twist villain who suddenly turned her back on the heroes out of nowhere and did not have any backstory or motivation to make her interesting]]. She also happens to [[ThatOneBoss have the most notorious boss fight in the game]], making players dislike her even more. Not to mention, [[BrokenRecord "You’ll pay for your insolence."]]

** From ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'', Tatsu is derided as an unfunny TagalongKid with a single joke: being mistaken for food. His main problem is that he never actually does any fighting with the party, and often only manages to get the party into trouble. His horrid voice doesn't help matters either.

*** Lorithia, who many fans of as being [[spoiler:a bland twist villain who suddenly turned her back on the heroes out of nowhere and did not have any backstory or motivation to make her interesting]].
