What are the most influential games of all time? All I can think of is
>Super Mario Bros invented the platforming genre >DOOM invented the FPS genre >Street Fighter II invented the fighting genre >League of Legends invented the MOBA genre >Demon's Souls invented the Souls genre
Souls is not a genre Souls is just updated zelda/castlevania
Henry Allen
>Your mom invented the whore genre
Liam Hill
>Metal Gear: Solid
It didn't invent the stealth genre but it was the most influential, both for making games more dramatic like movies but also for making stealth games epic as we know it, Hitman and Assassin's Creed style.
None of these are correct. Bringing them to the limelight maybe but none of them invented their respective genres.
Nolan Smith
also Wolfenstein was the first big FPS not Doom.
Owen Bennett
>League of Legends >invented the MOBA genre Pretty sure that was Aeon of Stife, a mod for starcraft
Bentley Ward
DOTA invented the MOBA genre...
Michael Walker
>League of Legends
>invented the MOBA genre
>Not DOTA Allstars

Nicholas Garcia
I always knew Starcraft was cancer.
Asher Sullivan
>Souls is not a genre
I don't see how it's not at least a sub-genre, in the way that Metroidvania is. It has a number of distinct conventions that work together which are explicitly copied by the other games that take after it. Lack of full pause, auto-saving, second chances after death, focus on melee combat in a hostile but semi-open world which rewards observation, stats, RPG decisions which hugely impact what NPCs do etc.

I mean really Aeon of Strife was the progenitor. Spoke too quick.
Ayden Butler
Fallout 3 invented RPG Call of Duty MW2 invented FPS Nekopara invented horror survival games
Evan Scott
>Super Mario Bros >invented the platforming genre
I think Pitfall! for the Atari 2600 did that. But if memory serves me right, I think SMB helped define the side-scrolling platformer.
Logan Lee
>Mario invented platforming Can you kindly kill yourself kid? >doom invented FPS >SF invented Fighting >LeL invented mobas and souls genre is not even a genre , thats a dungeon crawler.
Joseph Myers
Replace "invented" with "popularized" and you've got a point. Even Doom isn't the first FPS.
Also, Souls isn't a genre. It's an action RPG. Very unique, but not unique enough to warrant a whole new genre.
I'm just now realizing this is b8. 8/10 got me to type up a reply.
Hunter Sanders
>Demon's Souls Souls is my 2nd favorite series ever but it is not anywhere near as influential as DOOM or Mario or SF. Replace it with Zelda or Metroid, two of the biggest influences on the souls series. >LoL >invented mobas top kek
