Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

In my opinion the damn Felyne should be in Judas's position instead of Cloud. He's sabotaged me so many time with those bombs.

Which one's Judas?

[–]heptadecagram 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Judas is the one with the elbow on the table, and the only one reaching for food (as Jesus just announced that someone at the table will betray him, and is indicated by eating bread).

[–]cantdenyit718[S] 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

that would be Sonic

[–]AustinYQM 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Judas is Cloud. "Judas is wearing green and blue and is in shadow, looking rather withdrawn and taken aback by the sudden revelation of his plan. He is clutching a small bag, perhaps signifying the silver given to him as payment to betray Jesus, or perhaps a reference to his role within the 12 disciples as treasurer"

Edit: Sonic would be peter.

[–]tedfromcanada 2 points3 points ago

How so? Cloud was in the first Final Fantasy game not to be published under Nintendo. It's implying they sold out. I think it fits perfectly.

Third from the right. Don't know who that is, but he's Judas.

edit: Also the two people on the right looking away from Jesus are Matthew and Jude who are both looking to Simon to explain what Jesus just revealed.

[–]Odusei[!] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Huh, and here I was raised to believe that Judas was the one who looked away from JC. You're right, though, it's Cloud Strife that betrays Mario, damn that Jenova clone.

[–]AustinYQM 0 points1 point ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I was raised Jewish but I took a lot of art classes as electives because I thought art history was interesting in college. Of course this is reviewed in every class so it got pounded into my head over and over. The second I saw the picture I instantly knew which was who by placement. I also was a little sad to see that cloud wasn't knocking anything over has judas was in the original painting.

tl;dr Because I'm a Jew i know where Judas is.

Could anyone post a "from left to right" explanation of who everybody is? I recognize most of them, but the guy third from the right and the one that's between Samus and Pikachu I can't seem to place in my memory.

Is the one on the right the main character from Earthbound?

[–]Maniacal_Artist 5 points6 points ago

Link-Legend of Zelda

Mega Man

Ness- Earthbound

Cloud Strife-Final Fantasy VII

Sonic the Hedgehog

Princess Peach-Super Mario

Mario

Pikachu- Pokemon

Solo-Dragon Quest IV

Samus Aran- Metroid

???

Felyne- Monster Hunter

Ryu- Street Fighter

I can find nothing on the guy in the grey coat, though I want to say Golden Sun.

Don't forget the background characters (Left to Right):

  • Pirate Ship - Not sure from where, could be from a multitude of games. Clarification from anyone more familiar with it would be appreciated. (Monkey Island?)

  • Vic Viper (Gradius)

  • Twinbee (Twinbee)

  • Samson (Cho Aniki)

  • Tetris Blocks on top

I can't figure out who those two people are. The one with the Dragon Wing helm on between Samus and Pikachu is really getting to me. I know I've seen him before.

And no the main charecter from Earthbound is Ness, and he's between megaman and cloud on the left side.

Edit: Spelling

Can someone name the Characters from left to right? There are 3 that I'm not sure who they are:

[–]Stufreddy 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Link from the Legend of Zelda, Mega Man, Ness from Earthbound, Cloud from Final Fantasy 7, Peach and Mario from Mario, Pikachu from Pokemon, Hero from Dragon Quest IV, Samus from Metroid, I'm not sure who this one is but it's possible it's the guy from Fable II, Felyne from Monster Hunter, Ryu from Street Fighter. And in the background there's the Vic Viper from Gradius, Twinbee from Twinbee, and the body builder from Cho Aniki.

The guy to the right of Samus that nobody recognizes is from Tactics Ogre. The Tactics Ogre/Ogre Battle franchise is one of the most underrated in the history of gaming, IMO.

You want RPG gold? Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Calibur. Cannot recommend it highly enough, one of the first games I remember playing that had multiple storylines and endings.

Master Chief is to FPS's what Mario is to platformers.

[–]machinablack 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

No, he is not. There are several popular protagonists from acclaimed FPS titles that predate Master Chief (such as Gordon Freeman). The only people that think Master Chief is the Mario of FPS's, are console kids that favor ignoring the amazing FPS's that existed on PC before Halo.

[–]TheDudeaBides96 -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

console kids

Not going to comment on that, but...

Halo is the the one that really revolutionized the way developers make FPS's. It brought FPS's to the big screen and everybody played them. Previously, i was mostly platformers on the consoles that were popular, like Mario.

[–]machinablack 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Correction: Halo only revolutionized console FPS titles by making them playable (and popular). As for PC FPS's, they had been playable and very popular before Halo existed.

Examples: Counter-Strike (Half-Life), Starsiege Tribes, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex

This isn't even really a debate at this point.

[–]TheDudeaBides96 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well, you were just randomly making a statement that Master Chief shouldn't be in the picture.

[–]machinablack 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

With these types of pictures portraying "classic" video game characters, Master Chief commonly gets thrown in as if to suggest he is on that level. He isn't, and I'm glad that he wasn't included.

That was the point.

In general, Halo receives more praise than it deserves because so many console-only players are completely ignorant of the amazing FPS games that came before on the PC. That may not be their fault, but they also stubbornly ignore the facts provided to them, which only makes things worse.

[–]TheDudeaBides96 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'd say Master Chef deserves as much praise as, say, Link does.

And I do realise the amazing PC FPS's that came beforehand, but what do you mean they "stubbornly ignore the facts provided to them"?

[–]Conor419 -3 points-2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think this image does a good job of pointing out that practically none of the most iconic characters in the gaming industry can be associated with PC gaming with the arguable exception of Gordon Freeman.
