Who's your Mount Rushmore of gaming?

Sony

Nintendo

Valve

Rockstar

In my eyes no one has made more of an impact on the industry than these companies. Nintendo saved the industry in the 80s. Sony made it mainstream. Valve created Steam. Rockstar created the biggest franchise in entertainment history Grand Theft Auto.

Yes

Mine would be:

- Nintendo

- Capcom

- Konami

- Square-Enix

Wow!! You picked Sony! I’m shocked!!!

Sony, Nintendo, Capcom , Square-Enix

Couldn't put Konami on there after the last 5 years.

Sony didn't make anything mainstream. Wth is this guy on about?

Mount Rushmore? Isn't that violated native american land for the vanity of certain kind of men?

Microsoft Sega Sony Nintendo

I was expecting this to be actual characters so...

Nathan Drake, Lara Croft, Chris Redfield and Sonic.

* Nearly all LAND is violated, fixed it for ya.

• BGS
• Capcom
• Nintendo
• From Soft

or

• Samus
• Zangief
• Vault Boy
• Jill Valentine

So... companies? Not people?

weird, corporate boot-licking you got going on here.

Should be something like:

• Hidetaka Miyazaki
• Nobuo Uematsu
• Shigeru Miyamoto
• Ken Rolston (lead designer of Morrowind and Oblivion)

Nintendo

Capcom

Square-Enix

Bethesda

Atlus

Rockstar

@Telekill: Me too. I say Mario, Doomguy, Pac Man, and a little white line from Pong.

Yeah, most people seem to overlook that. It just doesn't fit the narrative...

• Super Mario 3
• Doom
• Street Fighter II
• Elite
• Metalic Gears Of Solids
• Populous
• Grand Theft Auto 3
• Civilization
• Halflife

I guess.

When it comes to modern games Shadow Tactics/Desp 3 and Alyx are shit I expected to be good on experience from the dev and they unshockingly were.

But they are not used as a symbol and this thread is example of that symbolism. So, we shouldn't pretend it is the same.

@girlusocrazy: 🙄 I know it is more convenient to missed the point. Ah well!

• SEGA
• LucasArts
• Capcom
• Nintendo

Most of the games I've played and loved came from those four.

I am still waiting for someone to tell me what Sony made mainstream? The Dual analog controller, sure, I could give it that. But, gaming? Hell no.

Mount Rushmore? I'm more interest in Mount Everest to say the least but anyhow:

1. Nintendo
2. Valve
3. Sega
4. Sony
5. MS

Mount Rushmore???

In the other thread about Discord being sold, you made it known you somehow didn't know what Discord was. And now you're saying....you don't know what Mount Rushmore is? Sorry just need to clear it up, because this is getting a bit entertaining at this point.

On topic:

Nintendo

Sega

some stuff

other stuff

old school Tomb Raider

Gaming wasn’t mainstream before Sony?

Lol.

That was a headscratcher for sure. I grew up on NES. Shyte was definitely mainstream even back then.

@wandering_halls: Its a mountain in America somewhere with a few nobodies carved into it, i Googled it.

I'm not American so i care not for most American things.

My picks are:

Nintendo, SquareEnix, Capcom and Konami

Pedro should go post on polygon or resetera.

Bet he already does. He comes here to let out his inner Xbot troll because they would ban his ass real fast over there lol.

@NathanDrakeSwag:

How about Ralph H. Baer/Magnavox Odyssey?

So you both frequent a place I never visit but I am the one that should go there. 😂 It amuses me that the people who complain about these two sites so much and still keeps going back. 🤣

@Pedro: Wtf you on about? I don't give either of those sites clicks.

So then why are you recommended those sites if you don't visit them? 😎

@Pedro: Because I still know of these sites because of posters like ghost and Nintendodude who love bringing them up? Duh.

Well, it seems you have join them. 😎 I am still not sure what those sites got to do with anything.

@Pedro: I'm sure you don't🙃

Mario
Sonic
Online gaming

Don't you slut shame me!

How about we stop dynamiting pristine mountains for cheap tourist traps? Silly talking apes.

Anyway, on topic. Think such a thing should be for people instead of companies. In which case, I nominate Shigeru Miyamoto, Gabe Newell, Will Wright and Tim Schafer.

I could list many, but I just mention the one that is way above all others:

Nintendo

Not sure. Might be the latest way for Sony fanboys to pretend Sony was important to the industry somehow.

Mighty Xbox!! Nuff said.

Sega

Capcom

Square Enix

Phil Spencer, Aaron Greenberg, Major Nelson, and Jason Ronald

all XBOX guys to trigger the OP
