Doom is up there but I'd say Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros 1 are more influential
Hudson Morales
BotW. From this point on, every open world game will be judged by the standard it set.
Henry Cooper
Wolfenstein 3D
Street Fighter 2
Adrian Nguyen
Wolfenstein 3D is more influential to the shooter genre outside of the idea of associating shooters with metal music.
Adrian Morgan
Pong
Space Invaders
Pac-Man
Ultima
Super Mario Bros.
The Legend of Zelda
Those are the 6 most influential games of all time BY FAR. Doom is arguably 7th.
Wolf 3-D was really not as influential as Doom. Being innovative doesn't necessarily make something influential.
Brayden Rogers
Most Western games nowadays are basically some combination of current year Doom + Daggerfall.

Is GTA III up there?
Anthony Wood
Jack Powell
Doom is more directly influential than Wolfenstein. Like, everything from DirectX to Xbox to Valve to Deathmatch to Modding etc all have Doom to thank.
Wolfenstein was a tech demo that was outdated in less than a year.
Liam Bennett
Super mario bros.
Robert Morgan

Unreal (the engine at least if not the game)
Long
Space Invaders
Pac-Man
Mario (to an extent)
Zork

Minecraft hasn't yet but I think it's up there in the most influential games, I think we're seeing a lot of impact on the gaming industry based on what minecraft revealed about the coming generation's interests, the first battle royale was a minecraft plugin for instance
to a lesser extent, world of warcraft/overwatch/hearthstone all annihilated any hope of their respective genres ever being good again, and the binding of isaac brought us roguelite cancer
Kayden Wright
This definitely helped save the video game industry, but I wouldn't call it the most influential. Most games nowadays aren't 2D platformers.
Andrew Rogers
Doom had mouse look, multiplayer and actual level design instead of mazes
Brandon Edwards
Replace StarCraft with Doom & i would agree with this list
Parker Hughes
that list is ridiculous and you know it
Caleb Bell
This list is so fucked that I don't even know where to start.
Tyler Smith
>and actual level design instead of mazes
Let's not kid ourselves, Doom was mostly mazes too.
Charles Morris
Based
Bentley Martin
Absolutely BTFO'd
Eli Wood
>doom below shadow of the colossus and ms. Pacman
Also why the fuck is ms. Pacman on there and not pacman? Doom being below pacman i would understand
Logan Cook
Dragon Quest maybe. It depends on if western developers have made more FPS games than Japan has made JRPGs.
Jordan Murphy
SoTC influenced more modern games than Doom has, being first doesn't mean anything when Developers take influence from the latest & greatest game
Juan Rodriguez
Hardly. The levels had exploration, which is easy for people to misunderstand and think is maze-like.
Robert Foster
Jacob Russell
That's a good list.
Landon Cox
Agree, only hipsters will disagree. The only major game that is missing is GoldenEye 007 since it is the Doom of Console FPS games
Julian Davis
I feel like GTA3 needs to be on this list.
Daniel Sullivan
these guys have no idea what they're talking about. a link to the past that high? zelda 1 not even on the list? doom that low?
Brandon Brown
>what exactly did SotC influence more than Doom did?
Lincoln Miller
Still seething i see, getting BTFO'd by actual experts as opposed to shitposting basement dwellers of Yea Forums must hurt
Easton Harris
>Half Life 2 more influential than Half Life 1
>More influential than Doom
>More influential than Pong
Nathan Lewis
Yes, not nearly as important as you boomers have convinced yourself to be.
James Butler
HL2 literally created the movie game trend that all AAA games follow
Juan Taylor
>Pong
>Super Mario Bros
>PAC Man
>Donkey Kong arcade
>Super Mario 64
>Crash bandicoot
>Zelda 1
>Castlevania
>Mega Man
>Metroid
I can think of a lot of games as influential and important as doom
Adrian Ramirez
>BotW
Jaxson Morris
Adrian Gutierrez
The only thing HL2 did that HL1 didn't in terms of influential mechanics is have a female companion that fights with you occasionally.
Christopher Morris
The most successful games nowadays tend to be first person sandboxes with some open world Bethesda dumped on top, though. Even Metroid is basically a first person shooter, now. And Zelda turned into a Bethesda product.
Leo Barnes
>standard it set.
>BotW
>BotW made a standard
Fucking zoomers LMFAO!
Oliver Bell
From this point forward, an open world game that doesn't let you climb every surface or have advanced chemistry interactions will feel outdated.
Carson Sullivan
Skyrim is more influential than Doom, since everything is a open world RPG. Same with Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect & Chrono Trigger. Every game has multiple endings, a dialogue system, tailing missions & Ubisoft towers
Christopher Bailey
Vanilla Doom didn't have mouselook you misremembering dolt
Gavin Nelson
Replace Skyrim with Daggerfall and you'd be sort of correct.
Parker Cruz
OMG PFFT HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Asher Jones

Here are games that I'd consider to be the most influential
>DOOM
>Super Mario Brothers
>Halo
>Dark Souls
>Dota/League (Argue about which you fucking moba fags)
>WoW
>Minecraft
>Fortnite/Pubg
>Street Fighter 2
James Miller

No they won't, the latest Farcry and Assassin's will be the exact thing it's been for over a decade, with completely static, pointless environments and no use of creative problem solving and still get 10s and 9s every yearly release for the foreseeable future.
When yearly shovelware is runner for GotY you konw quality is irrelevant.

John Hill
Literally just following Pitfall's influence.
You can't say SMB and leave out Pitfall I don't know why all these lists act like it doesn't exist. Nintendo bias I guess.
Mason Ross
Fuck off zoomer
Joshua Carter
Faggot
Joshua Torres
I know not all of them are games you fags are going to like, but this isn't "Best games of all time" just the most influential
Mason Gutierrez
So every open world game will strive to have easy gameplay and terrible item and enemy variety in a soulless over world with nothing to do in it?
Aaron Hill
Andrew Bailey
Selling well doesn't make them influential, dumb zoomer.
Cameron Ortiz
Sales does not make a game good zooms
Christian Cook
Look at the games I've listed, each of them vastly redefined or created entirely new genres or set the bar as the example for what their respective genres should be. How many WoW clones did we see when it exploded? How many cheap chinese mobas and minecrafts were created? Literally every company jumped at the chance to make a battle royale after PUBG's and Fortnite's success.
Ayden Anderson
>Look at the games I've listed
Shut the fuck up zoomer

Your thinking of freelook where you can aim anywhere. In vanilla you could turn left and right with the mouse. That is called mouselook

Some are AS influential. Namely Street Fighter 2.

You need to look the up the definition of influential. A bunch of greedy jews trying to steal some profit from another company by copying their game isn't it.

The literal most popular genre nowadays is glorified Deathmatch, which was basically started by doom.
For fucks sake, the founders of Epic games started at ID working on Doom.
Josiah Cook
Ethan Wright
Dude, I love Castlevania, but it doesn’t have more of an impact on games than Doom.
