Humanity has just made their first official contact with extraterrestial intelligent life.
They want to play a video game.
No, not a video game, THE video game.
We need to let them play the most representative and iconic video game of all time.
Which one do we send them?
>>320957868
Bloodborne ofcourse
>>320957868
My shortlist would be
Mother
Deus Ex
Baldur's Gate 2
>>320958032
why Bloodborne? Is it really the most representative and iconic video game of all time?
>>320958092
Because lmao
>>320957868
XCOM2
taste your own shit xenos scum
i send CLANNAD
>>320958062
It needs to be just one.
>>320957868
XCOM
>most representative and iconic
You mean Pac-Man?
>>320957868
tetris.
>>320958220
Do you think that game is the most iconic and representative of all time?
>>320958183
let's say aliens don't know memes/don't find them funny, would you still send them Bloodborne?
Undertale
>>320958285
Would more people recognize pacman or mario?
Space Invaders
We send them Mario All Stars. They're aliens, they don't know shit about games, we're not sending them Civ or some grindy JRPG or some other complicated shit.
>>320958346
Yes I would 100%.
Fuck that, I'll send them my favorite video game instead.
>>320957868
total war to make them feel scared that we are ultimate war training machines but also make them feel that were aren't that dangerous so if the attack they would not be expecting the immense weapons we have.
Melee. Once they git gud, we can truly look at each other as equals. And then sit down and play a Falcon ditto on Yoshi's.
>>320958312
Any other answer is pretty much heresy.
>>320957868
Tetris.
Because even an ayylmao can grasp the concept easily, while something like Pac-man requires an understanding that ghosts are the bad guys (A concept an ayylmao might not understand)
Mass Effect 3
>>320958380
Who gives a shit about pacman these days?
All he got this year was a mobile game and in smash
And he was in a movie
The most realistic and obvious choice is Super Mario.
Ocarina of Time. Literall changed everyone's expectations of gaming forever.
>>320957868
Pong
FIFA 15
>>320958745
Until Undertale came out
>>320958528
Exactly. don't forget about superior communist music
Metroid Primeor melee money matchfleet commander v armada, Bo5, loser leaves earth
>>320958380
Mario definetely. Pacman is fucking dead ever since he became a meme.
>>320959247
Nice meme
>>320957868
Xcom
The only correct answer is Smash
>>320957868
Runescape.
There is a reason why.
>>320959765
Why?
>>320959563
why do you guys insist with this game? Is it because it's about fighting aliens? Keep in mind it should be iconic videogames, not games about aliens.
>>320959971
Sounds like something an ayyy would say
>>320959971
It's all in the title, baby.
>>320957868
Sexvilla
>>320957868
Tetris. Its the only game that they will inherently understand what its about. It could also be used as a metaphor for life - it gets harder and harder as we go on and in the end, we lose.
Bloodborne. I can imagine one of the ayy lmaos going "Ayyyy, I know that guy, his name is Maarxenoph, he's from Alpha Draconis. What a fucking character."
This gem of a game
any warhammer 40k game
>>320961843
that's the most representative and iconic video game of all time?
Destroy All Humans!, of course.
>>320957868
>Humanity has just made their first official contact with extraterrestial intelligent life.
WHAT
SOURCE?
Silent Hill 2
>>320957868
video games aren't good enough for first contact, give them real art
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1JRgi3LYUU
>>320961931
Combat Amphibians
>>320957868
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT
I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU GOT
>>320957868
Planscape: Torment
>>320957868
XCom, Space Invaders, or Halo
;^]
>>320957868
Destroy All Humans
Tetris is the only answer
Destroy All Humans.
Let the Ayylmaos play as Ayylmaos or the more they learn theyll turn into space sjws
>>320962581
Space Invaders is the only viable one.
Xcom is nerdy stuff and Halo is 2000s kiddy stuff
>no one said dwarf fortress
Fucking shameful
>>320958285
Mario actually
>>320963694
we want to impress them not make them feel like idiots
>>320963694
How is Dwarf Fortress iconic or representative?
No one anywhere thinks Dwarf Fortress when they hear the word videogame
>> 320963850
>>320964194
It represents how autistic humanity is
Dadadadadadadadadadada
Half Life 2
or
Dark Souls
I know both of those games have become entry level meme games for wannabe vidya scholars. But both of those games represent what a good video game is supposed to be, more than any other games. They're both all about the experience and the journey, no gimmicks or bullshit. You can't get any more video game than those 2 games, and I think that Ayy Lmaos would be most impressed.
>>320958312
Either this or Mario
Euro Truck simulator
>>320963694
At most, Rimworld, not dwarf fortress, unless they are walking calculators, I would not make them play that fucking thing.
>>320964387
No star wars battlefront is more ideal. Graphics mean everything to Ayy Lmaos.
>>320957868
Sauce?
>>320957868
For real though
>>320958312
this
watch them crown our planet the greatest known civilization in the known universe, after getting rekt'd by that SECtris speed.
>>320964387
>dark souls
JUST
>nobody mentioning Super Metroid
WHAT IS THIS TRAVESTY
>>320964387
>half life 2
>no gimmicks
fucking weight and gravity puzzles
>>320958525
Come on. Any intelligent life that had pushed their civillization to the point where they got computers would have their own tetris already.
>>320965135
Most kids on /v/ were born in 1998.
They either know the classics like Tetris or Pac Man because they've seen them on t-shirts and stuff, and then the games they grew up with like Halo or Dark Souls.
Still I think Tetris is the objectively most accurate answer in this case.
>>320957868
Crazybus
>>320965335
their tetris was made by communists?
>>320958528
>why are the block sections I have filled keep on disappearing?
>isn't the objective of this game is to fit all given blocks in the space provided?
>humans are enjoying this pointless game mechanic?
>fuck these humans! fire the ray guns!
AYY LMAO
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
>>320957868
PONG
>>320957868
Send them Tetris: The Grandmaster 4 when it comes out and tell them to play it.
However, additionally give them the runner-ups:
>Doom
>Chrono Trigger
>MGS 1-4 (as a complete unit/series)
>SotN
>Mario 64
>Half Life
>>320958062
If we assume they can read. Something that can be simply picked up like the original Mario Bros or Megaman would work.
>>320957868
>tfw we never got a good Ultraman game
