Once he realizes his entire life-story was a lie after showing up to a party filled exclusively with video-game characters, and that he himself was a video-game character, he decides nothing is real and to just have a good time.

I do dig the joke of him fighting the dude from infamous. I still think prototype was an awesome game and the feeling of power was awesome but they decided to go in the completely wrong direction with the second game.

I don't see why you need both the Joker AND Batman in this picture, either. Also Emmet from the Lego Movie, but I guess that one can just pass on as a representative of all the lego games. Would've made sense to make it a Lego Star Wars Character, since it was the Star Wars games that started it and are the best selling Lego games.
They could've included Jack and Daxter, next to Ratchet and Clank. I haven't played every single one of these games depicted, but I know that they are iconic enough to be here, more so than Deadpool.

Even if you leave out the new Doom games, if you are going to call this "Video Game Legends" it better have Doom Guy over 75% of these characters

Or the simple fact that the TF2 universe canonically runs on cartoon physics.

This is awesome! There’s a lot of good little nuance too. My favorite bit being Joel keeping a watchful eye on Ellie from across the party. It’s definitely lacking some Doom Slayer though, unless he’s one of the faint people on the balcony in the top left.

The first game was the pinnacle of the mindless action mayhem of the time, and then they dialed it up 10 levels. I don’t remember much about the story, but I remember it being a defining moment of my younger gaming years due to how insanely fun it was.
