Top 5 Favorite Protagonists of the Generation
by:Mohammad Shah
Many people believe that games just need to be filled with action and shooting, but what they don’t know is that the protagonist needs to be good in order to make the game even better. Otherwise you would get bored of just running around and shooting people. In this article I will present to you the top 5 protagonists of this generation, starting off with 5th place “John Marston” from a game people would die to play. “Red Dead Redemption” received a ranking of 95% out of a 100 on a PS3 consoles from “GamesRanking”.
This game takes place in the mid-west, the player takes up the role of John Marston, an ex-gang member who has given up the life filled with death and murder and now after so long is forced by the government to go back into that life to exterminate his former allies and friends. You get to play as this character and live through his eyes as you go and explore around the Wild West while killing your former gang-members in a town that is already on the verge of death. We get to see how this task that is laid upon his shoulders changes him throughout the course of the game. From a rugged individual who only listened to himself to a one who now doesn’t have a say in what he’s going to do.

In 4th place we have “Ezio Auditore” form the “Assassin’s creed” series, the series where we learn more about history than in our actual history classes. This is one of the many rare games where you get to see the protagonist grow in age, from a child to teenager to a fully-fledged adult. In “Assassin’s creed 2” we really get see the big changes in his life that makes this character develop from a dwindling child to a man that if were real many people would look up to. But for him turning into someone that people look up to was more so difficult than the average person due to the fact that he is not so average. He has the skills of an assassin being able to race on rooftops, climb buildings and kill. Even so with abilities like those he does not stray and with the help of some friends they build the assassins guild from scratch. It was because of these traits that helped him come in 7th place by games radar for the most memorable protagonist in the year 2012.
