got this picture... can you name them all ?

[LogicNProportion]

Awesome painting...but...two things bothered me...

I believe that list is shite. Not gonna pick this apart...it just is. Some deserve to be on there, but other has merely tiny spotlights before vanishing into obscurity. I mean, I loved Lost Odyssey, but Kaim? :/

Also, they spelled 'Teryn' for Loghain wrong. Yeah........massive Dragon Age player here...

Amazing picture, I got about 21

But why is everyone's favorite MIT graduate not in the picture?

 

[Caliostro]

The painting itself is very good, BUT a lot of characters are not recognizable, and several of them are far from influential. As much as I loved Bully, GTA was the defining game. Particularly GTA III and Vice City. Bully was like Read Dead Redemption: another clone with a different face/setting. Lost Odyssey was pretty much forgotten already. And why Alyx instead of Gordon? Surely he had a lot more influence than Alyx, despite Alyx being an awesome character.

Still, very good work.

wtf, no Revan? Epic Apocalyptic Failure.

edit: oh, i didnt notice HK-47. well thats fine then.

 

[llew]

I got a good number, I just fucked up the ps3 ones.

It's definitely missing some characters, I'll try to think of some.

marcus fenix - gears of war, come on, he defined the word "meh" when the corpser tried to crush him and he just stared it down. and Cole - gears of war, he defined the "badass" by taking on loads of locust usin a pistol and no cover and coming out without a scratch

I feel ripped off being that Ethan Mars looks exactly like Alan Wake. Also The Boss is kinda REALLY ugly in the picture.

 

[WorldCritic]

I recognized over 20 of them, but some characters looked different so I couldn't tell exactly. KOS-MOS really threw me off.

 

[voetballeeuw]

I could not recognize Loghain. Other than that I got the majority of em. That's a pretty amazing painting.

 

[Throwitawaynow]

Now, I'm not one to argue with... well, anything really... but these are characters which have defined gaming?
Kaim? Lost Odyssey? Really?

Amazing game that came with amazing short stories. Well written ones too.

I only miss about 4 characters out of all them.

The portals count as a character, and so does the cake. That sucks ass.

Anyways, I got about 4 or 5 of them... I haven't even played most of those games.

 

[True Nero]

that is a win. there is no arguing. that i a win hands down.

 

[The Hairminator]

This picture needs Gordon Freeman, Sam Fisher, The Duke and a TF2 character.

Completely missed HK-47 the first time I looked at this, just seemed like he blended into the background. Also missed KOS-MOS entirely, just because she looks more like, I dunno, maybe a girl that should be in Starcraft Ghost. To be fair though, the only times I've seen her in games have been when she's been heavily anime styled (huge eyes, etc.). A lot of the others, well, I just didn't play the games they came from, and they were either minor characters, or just different enough that it threw me off. Still an awesome picture though, would love to see another one including some other big characters, maybe toss in a Big Daddy and Frank West.

 

[teebeeohh]

one thing: HK 47 was in both Kotors

i got every character that appeared on a PC

 

[Mechsoap]

many of the characters on that painting do not deserve it as much a other one would.

the dude from heavy rain, professor Layton, commander Shepard, John Marston, Alyx Vance, Ezio Auditorie, Nathan Drake, the bully guy, the captain...cant recall his name, Kratos, and isn't that the dude from the witcher? ooh and mostly forgot the illusive man.

 

[drdamo]

The definition of influential is rather poor if you look at some of the choices. I mean wheres the Duke? Ok, it was a bad influence, yet everyone was talking about it and it made an example of how not to do it. And how can any character from Red Dead be good when theres already 2 guys from GTA? Same sh*t, different timezone. Or why Sheppard? I agree that the illusive man should be there, but what did Sheppard actually do to deserve the spot?
However, the artwork is amazing regardless of the choices made.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I could get a lot of them... but some people (like the Boss) looked really different. I wish that painting was for sale.

 

[Floppertje]

i got a few, but some just look too different (tommy vercetti for instance, and i just wasn't expecting others. i mean... illusive man as an icon for gaming as a whole? i'd sooner have put gordon freeman there... and why isn't kane on there? it's still an awesome pic though

 

[19]

I disagree heavily. The Illusive man, Nathan drake, John Marston, that guy from Dragon Age should not be in there. Don't get me wrong, they are fine games but they hardly define the last decade. Though Kratos and Glados were definetly good choices.

I would think James from Silent Hill 2 should be in there, or Pyramid Head but not both. I think in general, one character per game unless the story is actually about both of them, for example; Kane & Lynch. Also, I might have chose a Big Daddy w/ Little Sister instead of Atlas.
