May 26, 2009 in Top List comments 16

A bit of an unsual litsing as Resumeplay lists 5 memorable heroes in gaming who know when to keep their mouths shut. Enhoy the list and join the discussion at Resumeplay.net

Silent protagonists, or for those who haven’t been properly acquainted with the English language; quiet heroes, aren’t exactly a common product of modern video games. However some have become famous for the lack of verbal engagement, whereas some would argue that it doesn’t create an extra axis of mystery to the character, but only renders them as bland and unimportant. Here is a small list of 5 silent protagonists in modern gaming, and how their silence altered how the game was perceived on the whole. Please discuss any others beneath the article…

    So they couldn't put Claude from GTA 3 in there, yet they put some guy from that viking game that wasn't really that good? What the *bleep*, man.

      That dude is the best silent protagonist ever.

    by modern, i think it was aimed at PS3, 360 era, which Skarin and Gordon Freeman fall under

      Gordon Freeman has been here since the late 90's. This Skarin dude could've been easily replaced by Claude, but nooooooo.

    But Gordon's still used as a character to this day.

    Viking is a pretty good game and has pretty epic full scale war in it.

        That may be so, but Mario talks. Gordon hasn't so much as grunted in the decade of his existence.

    If Sackboy ever gets a voice he should sound like one of the Nibblonian's from Futurama.

      OMG he uttered a sound, he's not a silent protagonist.

        Last I recalled practically everyone on the list makes SOME noise, like when getting hurt, so if you want to be really technical about it, none of them are really silent.
