You may not like it, but these are the most influential games ever

Ask the billions of people who buy Call of Duty, notice how there isn't a single mainstream FPS game for PC that isn't ported to consoles several months later?

Just because people do it doesn't mean it should be done. Every FPS plays like dogshit on console. Goldeneye's only impact on gaming was fooling normies into believing console were a good way to play FPS games.

>ICO

literally how

Everyone owns a console, everyone who grew up in the 90s with a console had GoldenEye. More normal people remember GoldenEye then any other FPS game from the 90s

Pioneered and popularized escort missions which is used in every single AAA game basically for the last two console generations & lead to the creation of the Soulsborne series (Outright stated by Miyazaki himself)

>HL2 more influential than HL1
How? HL1 popularised the concept of the grounded, linear, story driven FPS. Which would be one of the most popular types of games period all the way up until today. What did HL2 do that caused a bigger change than that?
Also, RE4 being as influential as RE1 is debatable, but not as confusing to me as the above.

That doesn't mean it wasn't abject garbage compared to PC FPS of the 90s. Also, popularity =/= influence. What games are influenced by Goldeneye and how?

If you have to ask that question, you should leave this board, faglord.

Every console FPS is influenced by GoldenEye, including all of the ones that had Splitscreen

This, Ico & SOTC are among Yea Forums's top 15 favorite games of all time and have been for well over a decade. Newfags need to leave

More like overrated games ever

Goldeneye didn't invent splitscreen, that's an incredibly broad mechanic that's seen across tons of genres

>MGS
>Ico
>Super Metroid

>No Minecraft, Super Mario Bros., Dark Souls or The Last of Us.

Bad list, OP.

ICO didn't pioneer escort missions, it came out the same year as MGS2 for fuck's sake. ICO popularized minimal game design, something the independent field has been running with for the last decade and a half.

Still wouldn't put ICO on the list about games like Doom, Ultima Underworld and Dragon Quest though.

Minecraft, DaS and TLoU influenced subgenres and styles.
The games on OP's list influenced entire genres and features.
Having SM64 but no SMB1 is weird tho.

This

>No PAC-Man or Donkey Kong

> Based solely on Influence on Modern gaming

Those are literal who shit that nobody cares about, nobody takes influence from irrelevant garbage. Every relevant modern FPS copies from HL1, HL2, Bioshock, Halo or COD4

>no ff7
The game that literally made jrpgs a thing in the west?
It may be overated, but it's way more influential than 6 by miles

Must have missed the asterisk about affecting on modern gaming.
Besides, modern gaming was influenced by the classic games. If it wasn’t for Donkey Kong, we wouldn’t have Mario 64.

This, replace FF6 with FF7 & put HL1 on There instead of 2. Also replace Ico with Assassin’s Creed

Dragon Quest needs to be on the list.

this is pretty damn accurate actually, all things considered. maybe add civilization, starcraft, simcity, and madden for their respective genres, among many other games/genres not represented.

>No monster hunter
Maybe it doesnt have enough clones

>No Diablo, StarCraft, or Civilization

jtpgs were big since FF2 retard.

If you want to go for best it's Chrono Trigger.

The only two that don't need to be removed is Mario 64 and Street Fighter II.
