Ufo: Enemy Unknown
Half-Life
The Witcher 3
World of Warcraft
Witcher 3
Counter Strike
Warcraft 3 ( DoTA)
Quake 3
Doom - It wasn't the first FPS, but the one that got the most notoriety.
Quake 2 - Kickstarted 3d hardware acceleration aka video cards. Once again not the first, but it's the game that got it moving.
Counterstrike/Quake 3 - Putting them both together since they did the same thing. They started early e-sports
Crysis - Really showed off what was capable with 3d graphics.
Ultima/Wizardry - Their systems would be copied in RPGs for years to come, even outside PC games.
I'm mostly an FPS person so the list is skewed to that. I'm sure people that enjoy other genres can list games that were influential in their respective areas.
Doom
Half-Life series, fuck off, both are 10/10 masterpieces
Minecraft, even if you don't like, you have to admit it was pretty influencal
Counter Strike
DotA
There's more, like RTS, fast fps, fucking Crysis, and as an user said, Mountain Blade, STALKER,
what did Mount and Blade and Stalker influence?
I could see Mount and Blade being influential in sandbox and procedural story generation; but what did stalker influence (if only Metro directly)
Half life series
Team fortress 2
Minecraft
Doom
Counterstrike
These are the only correct answers

The japanese PC scene didn't really leave the archipel. And most of the PC games from there were either arcade conversions or already influenced by them. Then most of it died by the time the Famicom became huge, and became a platform for VNs and eroges.
So no, japanese PC games weren't really influencial compared to the western counterpart.
If you wanna shitpost, find something better.
Wolfenstein 3D

Doom
Half Life
Warcraft
Ultima
Morrowind
Special mention:
Resident Evil 4 - Not a PC exclusive but I think it is one of the most influental games in history. It is a masterpiece in terms of pacing.
What was the first meme game that started the hype for shit like Eurotruck Simulator, Goat Simulator and My Summer Car?
warcraft 3/sc:bw
LoL
Counter Strike
Minecraft
Everquest
Doom
Half Life 1
Cave Story
Minecraft

Objectivley right list here, need a final game.
Fyi I dropped half life 1 a few hours in, and I haven't played minecraft in ages.

Rapelay
Ys
Uhhh Bloons Tower Defence?
Fuck it that's it.
Rogue
Wizardry
Doom
World of Warcraft
Minecraft
Unless I'm forgetting something those almost have to be the top 5 most influential PC games ever.

Monster Girl Quest
Influential?
Wizardry/Ultima
Doom
Half Life/Counter Strike/Team Fortress mod bonanza
Warcraft/Command and Conquer
The Sims
Special mentions to Thief and System Shock but they haven't had as much of an impact.
Does Farmville count since Facebook mobile wasn't a thing and it's pretty much responsible for inspiring the entire mobile market's business schemes?
>roblox
>neopets
>club penguin
>toon town
>webkinz
...
Doom
Cave Story
Half-life
Crysis
Depressingly enough, Undertale, it will likely shape the landscape of how games are made in the future
Well Bullet Hells/eroges were originally PC only and Falcom was PC's jap golden boy for an aeon, so the guy has half a point at least.
THIS. THIS IS THE ONLY CORRECT LIST. THIS IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT KNOWS GAMING HISTORY WELL ENOUGH TO INCLUDE ALL ERAS.
>still parroting the weeb board meme
WoW -> ruined mmos forever
Warcraft 3 -> basically everything "new" in the last 10 years was trialed in custom maps here
Call of Duty 4 -> ruined fps games forever
Minecraft -> gave us a million minecraft and crafting and survival games
Civ -> Was this the first 4x game? Who knows.
I sort of see rpgs as an evolution of adventure games and pen and paper rpgs so I think it's ok that there's nothing in this list for them.
>PC
Wolf3D
Sims
Ultima
Bard's Tale
WoW
Did Minecraft actually influence too much?
I'd say Day Z is more responsible for open world survival crafting bukkake.
Baldur's Gate 2 (a story influenced by the players choices)
Half-Life (story driven shooter)
Battlefield 1942 (massive multiplayer shooter)
Deus Ex (shooter with a story that adapts to the players choices)
Command & Conquer (well made and polished RTS)
Great list
DayZ
Doom
Ultima
Civ 2
CS
WoW
>Super Mario World
Platforming perfected
>Ocarina of Time
Showed a good story and gameplay mechanic can work together
>Super Smash Bros Melee
Fighting games perfected
>Mario Kart Double Dash
Racing games perfected
>Star Fox 64
So good all successors to rail shooters are shit
Doom
Myst
SimCity
Rogue
Civilization
Could substitute WoW in there somewhere perhaps.
Anyone who says Undertale or games made recently is a moron.
AHHHHHHHHH
EVERYTHING IS GENERIC CUZ ITS NOT BIZARRE JAP SHIT
WAS 2 NUKES NOT ENOUGH
I know you're trolling but holy shit people who think kart games are actually racing games irritate the shit out of me.
>Game where you race in a vehicle
>not racing game
pick one
underage/wrong
good
>Underage
what fucking underage would play stalker and mount and blade
Adults use calculators too
Bad Rats
Big Rigs
The Tower store.steampowered.com
The War Z
Any Pajama Sam game
didn't say they had to be both. anyone who says undertale is wrong, sorry.
Half life 1 and Half life 2 both make the list. The only reason there is no 3 is because valve is run by pussies afraid of the pressure to make 'the perfect game' and they make enough money from steam and dota/tf2 anyway that they feel safe.
Obvious bait
Rogue

Syndicate
Doom

quake - proliferation of Transform & Lighting, graphic processing, floating point processors, separation of client/dedicated servers
honorable mentions
half life 2 - a break away from cut scene narrative
minecraft - a break away from static construction
Western games were the prime influence for JRPGs lol
