Gaf, Let us decide what 4 characters would we carve into stone for future generations to make a pilgrimage to and say, these are the most important figures in gaming.


My personal carvings: Mario, Link, Master Chief, Pac-Man


Now give me your picks.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Important? It's hard for me to say these are the most "important ones", but if I have to take a guess, I'd say:

• Snake
• Mario
• Kratos
• Master Chief

My personal list:

• Arthur Morgan
• Kratos
• Joel
• Geralt

(in no particular order)

 

[Bloody Crow of Cainhurst]

Abby - most hated, still dominated

 

[Judge Magister]

 

[MonkD]

Probably something like this:

Mario
Pikachu
Link
Donkey Kong

 

[Cakeboxer]

Link
Mario
Master Chief
Doom Space Marine

 

[Hookshot]

A space invader for the arcades
Mario
Lara Croft for the expansion of gaming into the living room
Minecraft Steve

You can replace Lara with Master chief or some other shooter guy if you really feel that's a special genre.

 

[IFireflyl]

Master Chief (Halo)
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
Kratos (God of War)
Geralt (Witcher 3)

The absolute Chads of gaming.

 

[N30RYU]

Mario (nintendo)
Master Chief (microsoft)
Kratos (sony)
Lara Croft (multi)

 

[BlackTron]

Mario, Link, Sonic and Chief.

Too bad there aren't a few more heads. Hard to exclude characters like Snake and Pacman. Brawl is kind of a study on this topic...

 

[The Cockatrice]

Commander Shepard, Geralt, Drake, Doom Guy

 

[od-chan]

2B
Tifa
Chun-Li
Aegis

 

[AJUMP23]

A space invader for the arcades

Top Tier suggestion. The Space Invader is iconic.

2B
Tifa
Chun-Li
Aegis

I feel this is your Wifu list.

 

[ArtHands]

 

[acm2000]

Mario
Sonic
Master Chief
A Sony IP of your choice since they dont really have a tentpole character (Kratos is a push)

cover all platforms then

 

[kunonabi]

Switch Mega Man with Ryu and you're 3/4 of the way there. Sonic's spot is the big question mark since the other 3 would be stone cold locks.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

This right here.

 

[Rush2112]

You can't put Mario on Mount Rushmore, Nintendo would sue the mountain.

 

[Holammer]

The Rushmore monument depicts the first, third, 26'th and 16'th presidents from left to right (for reference, Biden is the 46'th).
So in the spirit of the original I'll go with Pacman - Mario - Master Chief - Sonic.

 

[MikeM]

2B
Tifa
Chun-Li
Aegis

As for mine based on gaming culture significance:

- Mario
- Lara Croft
- Cloud Strife
- Master Chief

Others considered:
- Kratos
- Pikachu
- Solid Snake
- 2B
- Whoever would represent Call of Duty

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Mario
Sonic
Doom guy
Lara Croft

 

[JimboJones]

2B
Tifa
Chun-Li
Aegis

Would it just be sculptures of their ass and tits?

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Pikachu

Someone from GTA.... CJ/Claude?

Lara Croft

Doom Guy or Master Chief

Would it just be sculptures of their ass and tits?

I suggest it be a full body representation

 

[AJUMP23]

Would it just be sculptures of their ass and tits?

And everyone would still recognize them.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

And everyone would still recognize them.

i'll have you know 2B has a dimple on her ass.... i know from close inspection. i'd easily recognise her ass for sure.

 

[dezzy8]

There you go.

 

[violence]

Mario
Kratos
Master chief
Doom Guy


I had the hardest time with the PlayStation pick

 

[MetalFreak]

Mario
Link
Master Chief
Nathan Drake

 

[Trilobit]

It's not even a competition.

 

[K' Dash]

Mario, Link, Pikachu and Samus.

 

[Self_Destructive]

Console:
Mario
Link
Master Chief
Nathan Drake

PC:
Gordon Freeman
Doom Guy
Diablo
Geralt

 

[Randall365]

Mario
Sonic
Some Minecraft guy
Someone resembling a COD character (Soap?)

 

[Kotaro]

Mario
Link
Pikachu
Sonic

 

[violence]

It's not even a competition.

This is the closest I've come to a post giving me whiplash.

 

[Garibaldi]

Mario
Sonic
Ryu
Whoever the main character is from Minecraft

Beacons of the industry

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Mario, Sonic, whatever the most popular Pokemon character is, and this........

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

- Kat of Gravity Rush
- Malon of Zelda ocarina of time
- Iris from Megaman x4
- liliel saotome from the guided fate paradox

 

[Sethbacca]

Mario and Sonic are absolutely necessary. Donkey Kong would be my optional 3rd, and I'm not sure who i'd choose for a 4th since it would probably depend on my mood on any given day.

 

[Closer]

This but Pikachu instead of Megaman, maybe. Everyone saying anything else is doing a personal list.

 

[NeonDelta]

Definitely these 3

Mario
Lara Croft
sonic

4th could be pretty much anything from master chief, pac man, link etc

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Mario, Link, Pacman, Sonic.

Long-lasting appeal and influence.

 

[Kokoloko85]

You gotta have Mario and Sonic. Even Pacman.

Mount Rush doesnt have modern presidents…

So Id go with Mario, Pacman, Sonic and Lara
Any of these would work
Link, Snake, Ryu, Doom guy, Pickachu, Crash, Kratos, Master Chief

 

[Kokoloko85]

Definitely these 3

Mario
Lara Croft
sonic

4th could be pretty much anything from master chief, pac man, link etc

Yeah I put Pacman but Link, Master Chief etc works too. I forgot Pickachu

 

[yogaflame]

Snake, , Drake, Kratos, and Lara( the early 90's none woke version )

 

[Kvally]

 

[DKehoe]

When you think about it, Bubsy is the George Washington of gaming.

 

[Topher]

Mario
Master Chief
Snake
Kratos

 

[nikos]

Mario
Pac-Man
Sonic
Tetromino

 

[thefool]

Guile
Guile
Guile

Spoiler

Guile

 

[Icymanipulator]

Mario and Snake (metal gear) for sure
After that it's a bit of a toss up.

Edit
A good argument could be made for Ryu from Street Fighter.

Edit2
Lara Croft and/or Doom Slayer would round out the 4th spot.
