00:00Are you sure that's the kind of thing you want to say to me keep bending me and I'm bound to snap
00:06Welcome to mojo plays and today
00:08We're counting down our picks for the heroes and villains across gaming who warranted a better
00:14standard of game to showcase their talents
00:16I'll do anything for you yet. It's supposed to be some kind of energy booster, but
00:24Now I'm feeling it doesn't

00:35Ravus Star Wars Jedi survivor
00:42We cannot do
00:44Sorry Gerra and Bode, but as far as we're concerned you both play second fiddle to this towering monstrosity
00:50Who turned out to have far more depth and charisma than we could have expected?
00:54Yes, he's the leader of a group of Raiders and solves problems through murder and destruction
00:58But he too has a code of loyalty that makes up the core of his being
01:01He's honestly the perfect foil for Cal Kestis whose dedication to the light side was coming into question
01:07Given time he could have measured up to being Cal's very own Vader
01:11Unfortunately minimal screen time along with a step down from the brilliance of Fallen Order ended up doing Ravus dirty
01:23Lucia Devil May Cry 2
01:27Till next time son of Sparda
01:31We know we know we don't talk about the worst Devil May Cry game in the franchise
01:36That being said given how every DMC character is getting a glow-up these days
01:40Lucia should at least get her shot a devil deemed effective raised up to defeat other devils while struggling with her own heritage
01:47Who could also turn into a harpy Lucia had good bones on her?
01:50We're not saying she's close to the likes of Lady Trish or even Nico
01:54But let's be real here taking another stab at her character is guaranteed to yield better results than what we got the first time
02:06Now kill me Kat gravity rush
02:22Reversing the direction of gravity was a neat gimmick
02:25The art style was actually rather sublime and Kat's character was just the right amount of peppy and cute
02:31While skating on the edge of low-key fan service
02:34It's just such a shame that the rest of a gravity rush and especially its sequel was so devoid of engaging content
02:40They had bits of brilliance here and there
02:42Especially side quests resulting in costumes as well as how gravity could be used as a traversal mechanic
02:47It just could have used a lot more
02:49Polishing if Kat another chance to pounce in a game with tighter controls and combat and we'd surely see her thrive
03:01The
03:04Main five weird West
03:11The idea of playing as a vengeful bounty hunter hybrid pigman Native American protector cowboy werewolf and black magic
03:18Practitioner in five different campaigns was a hell of a selling point
03:22Even if the gunplay was middling as long as the writing held up and the characters were well defined
03:27It should have been an easy win
03:29Just one problem throughout all five stories you're playing as yourself
03:33Inhabiting the bodies of each of these wayward souls with their real personalities not truly surfacing until after their quest lines are complete
03:40It's a huge waste as by cramming in this inflated sense of player agency
03:45It smothers the chance for the five to define themselves
03:48It's such a shame because if you put this group in any other game with their character intact, it could be something special
03:59Reaver
04:06Fable 2
04:12One should not waste even fry in a video game alas among fable twos many flaws
04:17They crafted a dastardly gunslinger that was as deadly on the draw as they were snarky
04:22Why is that a bad thing because Reaver is single-handedly the best character in the game and he's utterly mishandled
04:30He's effortlessly charismatic while also shooting anyone who offends his sensibilities
04:35You could do so much with a morally dubious gentleman of leisure such as him
04:39But all he receives is a few bright spots here and there though
04:42He ironically outshines the player every step of the way
04:45He's the kind of companion character RPG nerds dream of having in their party and he's stuck in this
04:51unceremonious sequel
04:55The ritual we will perform there shall provide us with a weapon we need to defeat Lucien
05:05Francis York Morgan deadly premonition. Sure. That's one way of looking at it, but it's totally wrong a
05:13a
05:15Crackpot detective a genius investigator a walking meme
05:19Morgan is all of these things as hilarious and eccentric as it gets
05:23He's essentially a Twin Peaks character conjured up by one of Japanese gaming's wildest creators
05:29Given how much we gamers love characters that push the envelope and walk the line between weird and endearing
05:34Morgan should be a home run right now
05:36If only his game wasn't a barely held together mess while we're sure many would decry it
05:41We think Morgan's unorthodox charm would flourish all the more in a game where you didn't have to bug your way through its level
05:47Design in order to complete it. I
05:50Can't believe it. This is fantastic
05:53Really good
05:55Olivia I'm sorry, but can I change my order?
05:58I'll have what Harry's at Jeanette and Therese vampire the masquerade bloodlines. I
06:04Am Jeanette and this bit of chaos crammed in a certifiable giggle is my club
06:11I just love to give you funny feelings all night, sweetheart, but I really must trouble with some business
06:16We'll reunite Sweden soon
06:18I promise its status as a cult classic has ensured the bloodlines will live on in beautiful broken infamy forever
06:26But much like that of its cast we can't help but feel their performances and personal arcs will be much better
06:32Represented if it took place in a more stable RPG case in point the sisters Jeanette and Therese both vampires
06:39Both polar opposites of one another whose quest lines. Have you deciding who ultimately reigns supreme?
06:44Oh, did we mention that two personalities in one body?
06:48fornicates with kind no less
06:50so despicable
06:52So unclean you're one to talk dear sister
06:56Or should I say daddy's little girl the build-up and reveal are indeed amazing
07:00But imagine if there was room in the budget to expand it further
07:04They're two beautiful bloodsuckers worthy of being given the best RPG treatment, but sadly never will
07:11She's a control freak people things emotions if she can't control something she gets rid of it, and you're a wild animal
07:18You'll rub up against anything that'll take you in for the night Travis Hackett the quarry
07:23Keep the car running
07:25sir
07:28Is this kind of like the all-time scariest car I don't know this is my first cop
07:34They tried for until dawn 2.0. We all wanted until dawn 2.0
07:39It's just that the storytelling really let itself down along the way
07:43It just couldn't seem to balance the cheese intrigue and character adoration that its predecessor had achieved
07:49Despite no shortage of talent on staff enter Ted Ramey who did a fantastic job as an officer forced to protect his family's like
07:57Anthropic secrets to the extent he had to lock up innocents tamper with evidence and all manner of heinous acts
08:03Ramey really brought a weight to the character and if things hadn't gotten so cramped
08:07Maybe he could have shined as the main antagonist what we're saying is put Ted Ramey in more video games
08:12I wish I could take it all back. I
08:16Wish I could take it all back, but I can't
08:18Vetra and Drac Mass Effect Andromeda first thing heart checked looks like some old authorization codes weren't erased
08:26He was working in the transport and stepped out for two seconds
08:30The thieves walked right in and flew off
08:33Bioware magic may have destroyed this game's chances of living up to the original trilogy
08:37But it wasn't without some saving graces and their names are Vetra and Drac
08:42The former is a female Turian who acts as a broker
08:45Provisioner and gunner not to mention the best romance in the game bar none
08:49The latter is a borderline ancient Krogan who while not exactly reaching Rex and grunt levels of awesome
08:55Came pretty damn close
08:57We honestly couldn't get enough of these two and knowing they'll likely never resurface and be less stuck in Mass Effect's most flawed outing
09:05Breaks our hearts. I hate you all. Let me be old and cranky and peace already
09:11Jake Muller Resident Evil 6
09:15first things first I
09:17Want 200,000 up front another 200 when this is over?
09:20Or with bows those are extra
09:24Could Wesker having a son who turns out to be a good guy actually work all the while striking up a relationship with Sherry and
09:30Punching the g-virus out of giant infected undead given how crazy yet amazing the franchise has become in recent years
09:36Yes, it could totally work
09:39except in Resident Evil 6
09:41The storytelling controls just about everything here is way below par with Jake barely having time to define himself outside of exposition
09:49Position-dumps and fisticuffs let the modern Capcom team take a crack at him now, and we're sure there's every chance
09:54They could thread the needle and make him thrive
09:57There are more important things at stake than you and me which video game character
10:03Do you think deserves better let us know in the comments?
10:18You
