For me it's the Monokubs in Danganronpa V3.
I enjoy almost every villian/antagonist in the series, but those guys were soooo annoying.

Strauss in Red Dead Redemption 2, I already didn't like him before the Thomas Downes mission.

Guile, from a gameplay-against standpoint.
Guile in the lore? I love him, he’s my boy. Playing with Guile? He’s alright, though E. Honda and F.A.N.G are my primary charge characters I use these days. Fighting against Guile? I HATE HIM. A pain in the ass. High level Guiles just turtle all day. All I can do is dash throw. They’re like made of stone.

The Monokubs kinda vary. I think they have their moments, but they definitely get waaaay too much screentime and the only one of them that's really at all interesting as a character is Monodam. The rest are just kind of there at best... and then you have Monophanie who might be the worst character in the franchise because she never shuts the hell up, is the last one to die, and only has one joke and it's that she keeps puking. Anyway, I spent most of Xenoblade 3 despising Ethel pretty much entirely due to a bunch of awful shortcuts they were taking with her character and how much the main part of the game about her won't stop having cutscenes every 2 seconds for hours on end. I'll spoiler it since the game just came out but... {Spoiler}They expect her having this big dramatic mutual kill with her top rival to be this hugely impactful moment, I guess since she was a party member... but she was only a party member for like 30 seconds before being removed from the party, they do very little to establish her rival, and everything about every second of her screentime is a giant flashing, "This character is going to die!" flag to where there's zero surprise factor in it and you know it can't possibly work out well for her.
Then for bonus points even if any of it DID land they clone both her and her rival back to life entirely so you can get the upgraded versions of their classes, so they'd be completely undermining the moment and rendering it utterly freaking pointless even if I actually felt anything whatsoever for her stupid death.
Then there's just her general lack of personality. Whole thing just feels like they were like, "People liked Morag, let's do Morag again," except Morag had a lot of time to develop and for you to see other aspects of her character besides just SRS Military Woman Everyone Respects, giving you actual reasons to be attached to her. About the only thing I'll give her is that her class is one of the more fun ones to play as.

Never played it, but MGS2 Raiden.
Baby Mario on Super Mario World 2 made me quit playing that game immediately at a store the SNES was hooked up at after hearing all the crying.

Otacon in the metal gear series,having to listen to him whine at times really got on my gears.
Ryu and Ken,I love Ryu but playing the streetfighter collection and the early games they are both douches when the a.i plays as them,constantly spamming hadoukens and shoryukens to the point i keep giving up.
Ren from Shenmue 2 is a pain in the bum.
Cactuar and their 1000 needles attacks from Final Fantasy.

Hau from Pokemon is another one that comes to mind, and a lot more vitriolically. 1), he never shuts the hell up (granted, Sun & Moon as a whole doesn't, it's a big part of why I'd consider Pokemon Gen 7 by far the worst one), 2), he never actually has anything useful or interesting to say, 3), his team sucks, and 4), they go so far in trying to make him your very bestest friend that he just comes off like a creepy ass stalker that won't leave you alone, especially since you just met him. At least when they did something similar with Hop in Gen 8 they establish he's been your friend for a long time.
Though on the subject of Hop, f*** Leon. Terrible design and the constant shilling for him and his Charizard throughout the game and in pretty much all extended media since is just incredibly obnoxious. Took some delight in one-shotting that stupid lizard with my Drednaw without even bothering to Dynamax it.

Catwoman from TellTale’s Batman series. Wasn’t a fan of how she used Harvey and it got to the point where I sided with Joker and put her in a freezer in order to stay undercover. Liked Avesta better as a love interest too.

Took some delight in one-shotting that stupid lizard with my Drednaw without even bothering to Dynamax it. I like 7, but I get why people have a problem with the cutscenes. Surprised you wouldn't put 6 beneath it, though, given you get cutscenes about the flattest goddamn characters ever. Lysandre is probably the shittiest villain in the entire franchise in terms of "oooh, I was secretly evil but dress exactly like Team Flare. I have a noble goal in my own mind, but charge people enormous amounts of money to join. I have literally no idea what point Game Freak were trying to make here." Dancing kid, Dex kid, etc, are so flat I remember none of their names. At least Hau, Lillie, and Gladion left enough of an impression for me to remember any of them past shutting the 3DS off. At gunpoint, I could not name a single "friend" X/Y gives you.

At gunpoint, I could not name a single "friend" X/Y gives you. Gen 6 definitely has issues like that but I think it's counterbalanced by having more things I like than Gen 7 does. It is pretty far from the best, and Lysandre is definitely the shittiest main villain other than maybe Rose (who just turns heel in the last 20 minutes of the game entirely because he can't wait a single day to address a problem that won't actually arise for a thousand years) while Diantha is probably the shittiest champion, but I think X & Y at least feels less meandering in its pacing, I prefer the bigger Pokemon selection (to say nothing of SM being the start of the weird everything has a 1% encounter rate fetish they've done in every game since), and I think its unique quirks like Mega Evolution and hoard battles are better than Sun & Moon's equivalents. That said I'd still probably put Gen 6 as the second worst. Though really in general I kind of think Pokemon games should just stop when it comes to trying to have involved narratives. About the only time they've ever even kinda pulled it off is Black & White 1 and in general they seem to be operating under the delusion that good writing is when you give someone a single character trait and then repeat it in every single line of dialogue for hours on end.

Anime boys who are just so anime and so boys and such anime boys I want to scream.
This is on my mind right now because I'm playing Persona 4 and it's my first time playing any Persona game ever and Teddie and Yosuke (and Kanji more and more) are such thirsty creeps and I can tell the writers assume everyone will think they're just hilarious and delightful. And they Never Give Up and Believe In Friendship and holy shit let me just talk to my depressed basketball friend and this awesome old lady. And the only reason the protagonist isn't like that too is because I'm desperately choosing every option to be like "No, don't gay panic. Don't condescend to the girls because they're girls; I don't care if it DOES make their friendship levels go up."
This whole thing is fascinating in so many ways but it needs to grind to a halt every ten seconds and go IT'S GOOD THAT BOYS AND GIRLS ARE DIFFERENT and, like, have all the boys go Act Like Boys by trying to spy on the girls while they're naked or whatever. I'd blame all the Jung inspiration if I didn't already know these were common tropes.
The version of this character I keep going back to is Zidane, from Final Fantasy 9, who always has to have his boyish worth celebrated and he just keeps having to rescue the women in cutscenes (directly after boss fights, where the women characters did all the damage to the boss!). But also, like, Battler from Umineko, who's Just Your Average Dude! (i.e. a proud pervert). And Larry from Phoenix Wright, though at least we're supposed to think of him as an idiot.

Harriet Davenport from Red Dead Online.
In a game with such people as Dutch, Michah, and Strauss, she is easily the worst character in the game.
So annoying I almost never interacted with her after I got what I needed from her, and made a habbit of avoiding the bitch.
I hate her so much, I wish she did show up in the single player game, or a future DLC (which is never gonna happen now, thanks for nothing Rockstar) just to see her killed off by one of those animals she loves so much.
