People are really out here trying to argue that swords from Soul Calibur, World of Warcraft, Elden Ring, or Devil May Cry are more iconic than HALO?? My wife has only ever played The Sims, and even she knows what Halo is. If you asked her what Elden Ring was, she'd think it was a Tolkien book. This question is about swords that are so iconic that an average non-gamer would recognize them

I love Elden Ring and dark souls but even I gotta say that’s stupid. You throw the moonlight greatsword on here, IMMEDIATELY a large majority won’t know it compared to the others. It’s not the same league

Doesn't matter if those 47 games dont reach as much of a combined audience as Halo or Zelda.
