| amp316 said: Good list. I disagree with the order a little but I agree with this list a lot more than most of the others that I've seen. Nancy Drew shouldn't be on there, but besides for that it's pretty good. Master Chief should not be on there guys. It's most influencial character. Master Chief doesn't have one hundredth of the personality that Duke Nukem did. This is why Duke is on the list and not him. Number one is a little bit of a surprise but I can't disagree with it. Without Pac-man, the increase in the popularity of gaming wouldn't have happened, and Mario might not even exist. *gasp* Too bad Pac-man's getting tanked at the bar with Spyro, Crash, and Alex Kidd right now. :( |
I have been a huge Halo fan since day one back in 2001 and I have to agree with you about Master Chief not being on the list. This video is about influential characters not games. If it was influential games, sure Halo: Combat Evolved should be up there because it revolutionized the console FPS.
It was the first console FPS to truly work wonders on a joypad and the first to introduce brilliant third person vehicle combat and co-op gamplay. It even had a great story/game universe to boot.
Every console FPS since Halo CE has taken something from it in one way or the other and implemented it into their own game. Whether it be regenerating health, split screen co-op etc etc...
The Halo games are bigger than Master Chief. There are lots of other characters that play a vital role and get screen time.
