Strictly based on the gaming community & not sales faggotry, what’s the most iconic game ever

ET for Atari

>no gta
Yeah go ahead and discard that list. It's annoying how people never put gtas on best of lists even though we all assume that they are best of, we just don't talk about it because it's so obvious

Whats a good site for tracking games?

>It has a great cast and a fun story
The only reason people play jrpgs.

GTA games aren't good, people don't have fun playing them
None of those games are iconic when you disregard Sales, except Mario Bros & Tetris

I know Tetris might be higher up but Mario is Mickey Mouse levels of iconic. McDonalds level even. I don't care much for the fat little plumber but he's as iconic as you can get when it comes to games.

This, like it or not critical acclaim is the only metric for what makes something iconic. Every other factor like Sales mean nothing & never has, it's just like PPG average in sports

Tetris, Mario, and Pokemon are worldwide. Even peasants in jungle mudhuts know them.

My logic is that if a normie that has hardly played video games recognizes the character, then it’s iconic.
Even chad and stacy know who Pac-Man is. Not some shit like Samus or Kratos.

I'm sick of the God damned 80s.
You shitheads who say "vidya can't be [high] art" don't care about video games.
Nobody likes Mario or Pac-Man AS CHARACTERS.
They're too goofy therefore can never be art.
You dumb asses consider Wind Waker art for being goofier than Ocarina.

You like skeletons because skulls resemble your ugly brown eyed heads.

Normalfags who don't play games have no input on anything, their opinion means nothing.

FFV didn't have a great cast.

tetris probably

Absolutely incorrect.
Some video games are iconic to a certain group of people or whatever. But some characters or games like
Mentioned are iconic everywhere.

I’m a complete pleb when it comes to cinema and I’ve never seen or want to see Star Wars but even I know that it’s an iconic series. You can’t argue with that.

> Iconic = Well-established and widely celebrated in gaming culture.
Iconic literally means "Critical Acclaim"

Iconic means being a noticeable icon to everyday people.

What’s iconic to you?
You think shit like Shadow of the Colossus and Chrono Trigger is more iconic than Pokémon? Than fucking Pac-Man? Get a grip.

Yes it factually is, these are the most used gaming forums on the internet.

Dude, shut the fuck up. You sound like a fucking retard.

Great list tbqh

Idk boomers wouldn't reconginze Zelda(Link) but for sure know Mario, often even Pikachu

Video games are not a highly regarded medium by normies.
Normies know Pong, Pac-Man, Mario, Sonic, and Pokémon.

> Bbbut recognizability
See the number of people, you don't get that level of traffic if you aren't normalfag tier

Normies are too busy being normal to delve.

Sure thing

I guess I mean older normies.
The dividing line might run between an earlier vs later 70s DOB.

... k

that's the best video game industry has to offer? damn

>pokemon
>super mario
>minecraft
>tetris

> BBBUT SALES
Means nothing, unless you are going to admit that Avatar is more iconic than Star Wars

those are extremely iconic games, and yeah avatar is still pretty iconic

Sales = Marketing
Iconic = Critical Acclaim

He meant how most people on the street would know about them.
If somebody didn't know one it'd be Minecraft.

> Tetris
> Minecraft
Go back to r/eddit

Recognizable & Iconic are two completely different metrics, iconic is solely related to critical acclaim from it's peers. Recognizable is relative to influence, acclaim & sales

>Iconic = Critical Acclaim
No, it doesn't.

The letters we read everyday are recognizable phonetic icons.

These are icons of vidya. Plus Tetris, Pacman and Space Invaders.
>zelda
>iconic
No. It's just a game.

You're an 80s fag
but I needn't put both as you can't be one without being the other.

The 80s was the decade where video games (and lots of other things too for that matter) were defined. Sorry you missed it.

I didn't miss anything but now asses like you are trying to place shit above art in the public "consciousness".

>art
I actually snorted reading your post. Hope you're not for real, buddy.

Most Iconic games are
>Super Mario Bros
>GTA (series)
>Pokemon Go
>Minecraft
>And soon Fortnight
As kids grow up these will be the most will known games

>Dark Souls also deserves a special mention because every hard game for the past ten years was compared to it

>based on the gaming community & not sales faggotry
This is dumb, the more sales the greater size of the community (thus making the game more iconic). Unless you are wondering what game has the best community which is still effected by sales. As games get more popular the community gets more stupid people and as a result the community gets worse.

If the 80s "defined video games" the 50s defined rock.

Imagine being this delusional, salesfags need to kill themselves

50s and 60s definitely defined rock. Elvis, Rolling Stones, etc.

Did I say "and 60s"?

No, and that's a mistake on your part, fag.

The 80s didn't achieve as much for video games as the 60s alone did for rock.

I'm busy.

>but muh anime website battle royale polls of 1000 basement needs said otherwise
This is not how iconic works.

You don't like Elvis (a "southern" Ricky Ricardo) unless you're a quasiwhite fag.
