The general hate for Jacob stems from the fact that he's literally just a security guard who happened to be at the right place and time and stuck around for no adequately explained reason. That coupled with the fact that he's a plain normal guy who refuses to talk about his past..... well let's just say he doesn't have much going for him.

This is why Jacob is good: he's the only one on the squad who isn't batsh*t insane.


Including Shepard? :o

Jacob doesn't really get that much hate. Is he unpopular? Yeah, kinda. But not as much as people would expect.

It may be total crap, but I'm just enjoying the thought of Jacob getting jettisoned to the cutting room floor too much right now to be skeptical.


What about the other people who do like Jacob and want him to return? Should they be cut out too?


The people who like Jacob aren't characters in the game. They can't be cut from anything. Besides, I'm sure all three Jacob fans will fall back in love with the equally boring Kaiden Alenko.


um.

shut up.

Dont give me that niave crap. Back in late 2009 before ME2 came out Jacob was the only ME2 squadmember to have threads that was dedicated to hating Jacob or either dedicated to making fun of Jacob.

I remember back at the old Bioware forums, a user created a thread about Jacob saying that she found Jacob attractive and will romance him in ME2. Mind you this is BEFORE the game came out so we knew NOTHING about him being "boring" and such. Needless to say, that thread quickly turned into a thread centered around the theme of "How can anyone find Jacob attractive"

Hell, many people even claimed that the OP was a troll and was really a male behind the keyboard because they couldn't understand how anyone would actually want to romance him, especially when you have people like Thane and Garrus that can be romanced.

Even when the first screenshots of Jacob came out people didn't like the visual change that Bioware made to Jacob in comparison to this ME: Galaxy look.

People want to hind behind the fact that Jacob is boring, My shepard was humping Jacob's leg, and Jacob is weak in combat excuse but that doesn't explain why Jacob still had this hate even BEFORE ME2 released. THAT is what I find interesting. But then again, this is the internet and this is the general videogame demographic that I'm trying to argue with so....

Oh, thank you PSM3 magazine for that little tidbit of information! Goodbye boring, white-bread, morality 1st sissy boy! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Seroiusly though, thank you bioware! Thank you for not wasting space on my roster with him. Relegate him to a cameo

He's not, the PS3 writer is an ametuer, He's anLI so he won't be left out of the final game. so suck on that.Posted ImagePosted Image


Like I said a few posts in, it's probably wrong. I just don't like the character. Calm yourself sir. Or Madam.

My Joshua Shepard's quite a fruit loop.  Cerberus didn't quite get his personality right during Project Lazarus.  :whistle:

Dude, you need to like. Chillax. He isn't that hated. It's Internet overexaggeration.

Jacob is gone?

Why couldn't it have been Tali or Garrus?!

Why in the world is there so much hate for a fictional character? Be it Jacob, Kaidan, or Ashley (they seem to get the bulk of it).

If you don't like them, don't talk to them. Don't take them with you.

Let those who do like them enjoy them. Lots of people say Kaidan is boring but he is my absolute favorite squadmate. I like Jacob as well. Miranda? Not so much...but I don't go around complaining about her 24/7.

Okay, is there a way for me to lock this thread? I guess I was a bit mean spirited at first, but the whole thing has only degenerated.

I'm just speaking my mind, I can't do that? 

When you look around (the internet at least) it is something that isn't confined to these forums. Most of the well populated online communities/forums all share the same resentment to Jacob as people here do and the funny thing is, he isn't even a major character like say.....the Illusive Man. He is just an optional squadmember that you can chose to not have in your squad and can kill at the end. Yet there are even blogs written about him detailing how he is the most annoying ME character and all that Jazz.

Jacob never really had a chance and the sad thing is, because BIoware likes to play into Fan Service, I wouldn't be surprised if we found out that from all of the ME2 LIs, Jacob's would be the most downplayed in ME3 because Bioware will assume that the majority of their fanbase hates Jacob.

Jacob's a LI. He'll definitely be in the game it's just a matter if he's a full timer or part timer. It's basically a popularity contest.

Uhhh, Jacob is pretty much intended to be female fanservice (like every romance ever). He just failed at it due to a variety of factors (like Hale massively screwing up her lines)

Or are you seriously trying to tell me that showing his ass and abs every opportunity wasn't fan service.

Also, Why the hell do you care so much what people think of Jacob? I like the guy too, but I'm not going to defend him everytime people say nasty things about him.

I'm not insulting anyone in here. Not intentionally. Not even Jacob fans (okay, the "all three Jacob fans" thing was a little cold). Anyway, I haven't called anyone in here something unpleasant. There's no need for it. You're free to disagree all you like, but chill.

I am actually hoping that Jacob gets a bit of a reboot in ME3. He was a good idea, but poorly executed. I blame the writing and voice actor. If both could rise to the occasion, Jacob could be great.
