Audiences can often have widely diverse reactions to a video game character. Some might love them, and some might hate them. Some might think that they're cool, interesting, or fun, while others think that they're boring or embarrassing. Audiences are rarely homogenous, and gamers are even more divided. Xbox has multiple characters that the fan base can't agree on. Many Xbox characters are heavily disliked.

As such, it's often meaningful when the majority of gamers can share an opinion about a character. Sometimes, this can be positive, with some iconic characters near-universally beloved in gaming. Much of the time, however, audiences manage to unite in their hatred for certain Xbox characters.

10 The Didact Is A Generic, Poorly-Explained Villain (Halo 4)

The Didact holding Master Chief in the air in Halo 4.

The Halo franchise has a number of iconic villains, including the Prophet of Truth and the Gravemind. With many of its story threads concluding in Halo 3, the franchise has to search for a new antagonist in Halo 4 and finds it in the Didact. A disgraced Forerunner general who survived his species' extinction, the Didact plans to break humanity and stop them from dominating the galaxy.

The Didact has potential, but he fails to make himself at all notable. Halo 4 leaves all of his backstory and depth to hidden content in the game or tie-in novels. As presented on-screen, the Didact is nothing more than a cackling villain who promises doom, with none of the uniqueness of Truth or the Gravemind.

9 Khalisah al-Jilani Is An Infamous Hack Journalist (Mass Effect)

Khalisah al-Jinali talking to Commander Shepard in Mass Effect.

Initially an Xbox-exclusive title, Mass Effect takes care to make the characters inhabiting its galaxy feel real and interesting. Many have surprising depth and are three-dimensional, and a fair few have at least something sympathetic about them. However, Khalisah al-Jilani, a journalist who tries to corner Shepard and shame them on live television, is not among them.

This interaction is one of the best-known in all of Mass Effect for one reason: the ability to punch al-Jilani rather than answer her questions. With her fulfilling every stereotype of the hack journalist, most fans agree that it is satisfying to take the Renegade option in that one instance.

8 The Jedi Council Embodies The Worst Aspects Of The Jedi (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic)

The members of the Jedi Council from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

The Jedi are controversial for many fans, even though they're an integral part of the Star Wars universe. Despite being beloved and cool warrior monks who wield laser swords, many Star Wars fans take issue with the Order's emphasis on obedience and neutrality, something that is only emphasized in both Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and its sequel.

From refusing to involve themselves in the Mandalorian Wars, to banishing the Exile, to failing to stop either Sith threat, the Jedi Council fails to do much besides make the protagonists' lives worse. The nadir comes near the end of Knights of the Old Republic II when they attempt to strip the Force from the Exile after she journeys across the galaxy to reunite them.

7 Rumor Honeybottoms Fails To Offer An Entertaining Fight (Cuphead)

The Rumor Honeybottoms boss fight from Cuphead.

The bosses in Cuphead are given limited characterization, but they have inventive and unique fights that inform the player of their personalities while also being huge fun in their own right. Nearly every boss in Cuphead has its fervent fans, but one that falls short of the game's high standards is Rumor Honeybottoms.

Rumor Honeybottoms' fight is disliked by many players for relying on several annoying mechanics like random platforms, and her positioning requires specific equipment to truly counter. Unlike other fights with similar mechanics, Rumor fails to compensate with her design or with redeeming aspects for her fight.

6 Warden Eternal Reeks Of Desperation (Halo 5: Guardians)

Fighting the Warden Eternal in Halo 5: Guardians.

The main villain of Halo 5: Guardians is a post-rampancy Cortana, who seeks to take over the galaxy with the power of Artificial Intelligence. However, she is a noncombatant villain, and delegates the role of physically stopping Master Chief and Spartan Locke to her chief enforcer: Warden Eternal.

An imposing Forerunner construct, Warden Eternal has at least potential as a physical threat. However, his personality is grating to most players. He's arrogant and dismissive, except for his desperate devotion to Cortana. None of this impresses most players, who find him an intensely annoying villain.

5 Esperanza Is Rude Throughout The Entire Game (Sunset Overdrive)

Esperanza of Las Catrinas in Sunset Overdrive.

Although not the most sophisticated of games, Sunset Overdrive is liked for its comedic, wacky, and colorful tone. The game doesn't take itself very seriously, and neither do most of the characters. This creates a cohesive mood throughout the game that's simply enjoyable.

One character stands out: Esperanza, the leader of the Las Catrinas assassins. First enemies and then allies, the player character works with them after their first fight, but Esperanza is never gracious about it. She is over-serious and rude, despite the light-hearted tone of Sunset Overdrive, and many players dislike the fact that they can never get justice for Esperanza's initial vicious attack on them.

4 Tyrone "T.K." King Is The Worst Sort Of Mastermind (Dead Rising 2)

Tyrone "T.K." King from Dead Rising 2.

In Dead Rising 2, the player controls Chuck Greene, a motorcycle daredevil who has to clear his name when he's framed for starting a zombie outbreak. The game's true antagonist is reality show host Tyrone "T.K." King, who works for the Phenotrans pharmaceutical company and starts outbreaks to farm their products.

Even aside from T.K.'s villainous goals, he's just obnoxious. He's a smug, unpleasant, hedonistic figure who taunts Chuck throughout Dead Rising 2 and has no moral qualms. Designed to not be a sympathetic figure in the least, it's a deeply cathartic moment when the player gets to kill T.K. at the end of Overtime Mode.

3 Ambassador Udina Is A Short-Tempered Supremacist (Mass Effect)

Ambassador Donnel Udina in Mass Effect 3.

Ambassadors and politicians are often unlikable in the Mass Effect franchise, but the human Ambassador Udina takes the cake. He is introduced as the sourer, less pleasant counterpart to Captain Anderson, who aids Shepard in exposing Saren, but he is openly hostile throughout the procedure. Even once Shepard wins Udina's respect, he's far from pleasant.

Things only get worse throughout the franchise. Udina shows how deeply he believes in human supremacy, first trying to set himself up as the head of a human-only Council if the current one dies, and then throwing his lot in with Cerberus in Mass Effect 3. Few players weep for him when he dies — and many cheer when Anderson assaults him in Mass Effect.

2 Gristol Malik Is Not A Sympathetic Villain (Psychonauts 2)

Gristol Malik, the antagonist of Psychonauts 2.

Some of the most effective villains in fiction are tragic, sympathetic, and relatable, but they don't all have to be. Psychonauts 2 draws players into its emotional stakes by simply making its antagonist, Gristol Malik, every bit as hateable out-of-universe as he is in-universe.

A huge egotist, a nationalist, and a spoiled rich brat with no concept of hardship, Malik is just a collection of annoying traits dialed up to eleven. There is no attempt to make the player sympathize with him, making it immensely satisfying when he meets a terrible fate by the end of Psychonauts 2.

1 343 Guilty Spark Is Neither Respectable Nor Pitiable (Halo)

343 Guilty Spark from the Halo franchise.

Despite the Master Chief clashing with powerful Elites, politically-powerful prophets, and the monstrous Gravemind, the most recurring antagonist in Halo is actually 343 Guilty Spark. The small, comical-looking robot is the Monitor of Installation 04.

Guilty Spark is annoying almost immediately, giving condescending and irritating advice to the player as he leads them to fight through the infamous "The Library" level. From there, his attempts to wipe out all life in the galaxy do nothing to endear him to players, and the true punch comes when he kills fan-favorite Sergeant Johnson in Halo 3.
