@Thrillho I agree with this. I feel like a lot of modern characters in this cinematic age of gaming are kind of cursed with an overabundance of personality and while someone like Nathan Drake for example, is done extremely well, I actually find him a little annoying and less relatable.

@TabulaRasa @Thrillho
Ironically, Geralt is up against another gruff and jaded hero, Big Boss/Snake. Also a guy with ‘a very particular set of skills he’s acquired over a long career’ who has understated machismo that society doesn’t understand or appreciate, other men fear, and yet all the women in his life swoon over. The two characters actually are similar in some ways, right down to the raspiness of their voice acting and the ‘Devil may care’ attitude toward other people. (For my money, Joel, Arthur Morgan, and Kratos all did the ‘old grumpy guy’ schtick better than Snake and Geralt though, if we’re keeping score.)

Otherwise W3 and MGS3 are, of course, very different. From a setting standpoint and gameplay. Honestly I prefer fantasy settings usually over modern day espionage, but in this case I’m going with Kojima and Snake. I reserve the right to do a 180 when I play W3 again. I have had a game click better on a second or third attempt before.

@Th3solution You've made me look up the voice actor for Geralt now and he's done hardly anything else I recognise but has roles in Baldur's Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2, although I don't know how big those parts are.

@Thrillho you summed it up perfectly mate in your character description

QUARTER FINALS #2 RESULTS
This was an incredibly tense round, and it's very weird to realize there's only four games and two weeks left until we know the final winner. I loved to see many votes and even some discussion. Even crazier is that we're now left with four games, one from each of the previous eras of PlayStation. I couldn't have made the semi finals sweeter even if I had tried.

Battle 1
Shadow of the Colossus (PS2, 2005) (21 votes)
Winner: Final Fantasy VII (PS1, 1998) (31 votes)

Battle 2
Winner: Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2, 2004) (28 votes)
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PS4, 2015) (26 votes)

Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends! We're doing it a bit different this round, thread wise. You can check the post above for results, but I have a separate thread for voting this round, seeing as we're nearing the end.
