Are there any games that revolutionized video games in a bad way? Like how Oblivion started the dlc trend or Battlegrounds started the Battle Royal Trend

Pong, because people made more video games.

In a bad way?
Phone games being cash shops right out of the gate

This piece of shit is to blame for C I N E M A T I C corridor shooters with unskippable cutscenes.

COD for giving us an entire generation of puke brown "mature" games

I'm pretty sure Halo 2 started micro-dlc map packs, but they were also quite cheap, great maps, and became free after a few months. Still, it gave us a taste for dick.

Games, no. Lazy people, always. And you will have people giving examples of games who did X thing right and everything else that followed suit did it badly. Case in point before I even finished typing .

>battlegrounds started the br trend

i know you're baiting me but im still replying because it made me mad anyway, cunt

borderlands for the looter shooter garbage

they weren't though you fucking zoomer. phones existed before iphones. hell there was a copy of snake on every nokia

Gears of War and cover shooters
Ubisoft and towers in open world

This. And every looter shooters is an insanely shallow MMO.

Halo 3 for regenerating health.

[Game that is popular] for [thing that is barely present in the game]

Halo 2
It was one of the first really big online shooters, and the devs cut corners (including the ending) to dedicate more resources to multiplayer. This paved the way for online becoming a substitute for quality single player.

Ultima Online
Literally paying for a hollow shell of world just to grind. Stats atrophy gradually, so you lose stats you don't grind, and it takes a lot of time to grind. being ganked was costly as fuck.

>what is Fallout 3

Randy was inspired by Nethack, Diablo, and Ultima for that abomination.

RE4 was a revolutionary step for third person shooters but it also put survival horror on death's door for roughly a decade.

Oh, and it also popularized QTEs. Wasn't the first to do it but it was the one that mattered.

Anything Microsoft. The OG Xbox, as much as i liked it, paved the way for the modern online gaming experience on consoles, while Halo 2 popularized it.

The 360 was fine(just more of what the OG Xbox already did) until the kinect happened and Microsoft started their "games as a service" mission which they still are committed to today. It's really astonishing how much shit Microsoft has shoved into the industry, there is so much shit that i'd hit post limit trying to type it all in.

Fallout 3 isn't a looter shooter.

Yes it is. There's only like 30 quests in the game including optional ones, the rest of the gameplay is just shooting shit up and looting random caves and buildings.

stores like Steam that will help you sell trash that people used to make for free on newgrounds

No one is forcing you to buy it.

Why were 'action games where the enemies are zombies but not really' so popular during the mid 2000's? Did RE4 kickstart this?

Looter shooters refer to games with randomly generated guns and shit with multiplayer features like Borderlands and Destiny.

So Borderlands is basically Diablo x Fallout 3, gotchu.

I remember when smartphone games were the new frontier. Who knew what the possibilities were? Oh the naivety. That shit was looted, raped and spat out faster than the dubstep music genre. It was the modern day gold rush. Everyone was throwing darts with blindfolds on in the hopes of making the next low effort meme game like flappy birds and rake in the millions.
