Let's say you can manipulate time so that one (1) single game fails, in that it gets less than 25 lifetime purchases total, no one streams, speedruns, or otherwise pays attention to it in any way, shape, or form. If it has sequels, those games will never be made. If it was a sequel, the series dies on the spot.
What game do you choose?
As a note, te game itself is exactly the same as it is now, for better or worse. Super Mario Bros. is exactly the same now if you were to pick it, as is Alien: Colonial Marines.
The game makes essentially $0.00 in profit and is ignored even by normies, smash hit or terrible failure.
Kill the Xbox in the womb and cripple the FPS boom off the PC

Fuck the last of us, fuck naughty dog, fuck movie games >inb4 never ever I own a PS3 and PS4 and love actual good games like bloodborne and nioh, but fuck those movie games
Henry Rodriguez
Halo to kill the xbox along with it
Noah Jones
Can it be in the middle of a franchise?
If so, RE4
If not, LoL

Starcraft. This will prevent the creation of Aeon of Strife and lead to MOBAs not existing. Good alternatives would be >Warcraft Hopefully no DOTA therefore no MOBAs and also no WoW so maybe themepark MMOs wouldn't be as popular >Oblivion Horse armor DLC >TF2 Hats and crates
Hunter Clark
Yep. Essentially makes the last good game 3.
Cameron Taylor
As much as I like the original COD MW, I feel that if that game had failed we would be in a much better place for video games.
Joseph Ross
Oblivion
Bethesda holds the entire open world RPG genre in a stranglehold with their shit-tier games that sell like hotcakes.
Ian Long
Warcraft 3
No MOBAs and the MMO market would have gone in a different direction.
Luis Reed
Was going to go for Half Life 2, but it really went nowhere even after legions of fanboys continue to rim its sloppy asshole.
Gotta go for Halo. The Xbox launch would have been a total dud with that.
Colton Johnson
Candy Crush. Any other answer is wrong.
Xavier Bennett
Because they're actually very good games that no one complains about until they beat it 10 times and start noticing that they've ran out of things to do after ShOcKeR 400 hrs

Bentley Garcia
Minecraft.
Colton Carter
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Grayson Bailey
As much as I'd want to avoid the shit from the FPS boom. I sure as hell would miss that amazing soundtrack.
I'd have to go with minecraft though, it was a neat game for awhile but the amount of marketing and it's helping start the era of let's plays is unforgivable.
Dylan Barnes
None of them. The death of video games is due to normalfags invading the internet in massive amounts since at least 2007. The speed of information sharing (marketing and word of mouth on social media) caused a massive influx of people getting into games. Normalfags became the largest demographic immediately, which lead to standards dropping to accommodate them.

Henry Rogers
NO TURNING BACK
Thomas Lee
Isn't that's already what happened?
Gabriel Sullivan
>MGS flops >Konami forces Kojima to work as a secretary until he quits >Konami makes sure no game company hires him again >he works as a cashier at a convenience store for minimum wage until he retires Nice going, fag

WoW And not because I hate the game, but because I hate the bad influence the game had on the mmo genre.
Logan Butler
What did she mean by this?
Jordan Nguyen
I agree, Such a step backward from shows like edd ed and eddy and cow and chicken. goddamn feminist
Jordan Anderson
Wow, my wish was granted !
Colton Howard
you let this happen
Colton Collins
Fucking this. I would like this never ending pit of autism to stop existing.
Leo Cook
I'm sorry. At the time I didn't see the signs. I should have REEE'd more.
Thomas Cooper
This is the most rational analysis of the development of video games that one can make.
Dylan Reed
>Garnet about to jump
Aiden Adams
I'm fine with 4 existing, and maybe becoming a cult classic later, but the damage it did to horror still makes me upset to this day.
Also, I blame it for the rise of QTE
Ryder Richardson
Kill off Suikoden 3. That way the IP wouldn't have been tarnished with the subsequent atrocities.
Michael Flores
I can't handle the youthful edginess and angst.
Justin Ortiz
these, either undertale or LoL
Isaiah Howard
bravo vince
Kayden Anderson
Mario 64
Anthony Anderson
Probably Fallout 4. I can let 3 go because it lead to New Vegas.
Michael Richardson
Shenmue. Would help kill the QTE and open world games.
Elijah Howard
Fuck you man, I like Monster Hunter. If Capcom would pull their head out of their ass and just put in the effort to update the models and put the damn thing on a home console we'd be fine.
Luis Moore

James Adams
I still hate Capcom for never releasing MH2 on PS2 in the US
Jace Rodriguez
Would say Planescape: Torment but that is what actually happened.
Brayden Edwards
>I sure as hell would miss that amazing soundtrack. This. As much as I despise MS and every way in which it made the gaming industry worse I don't think I would be willing to give up Bungie's soundtracks for it. Even post-Marty ones. I still miss him ;_; Hope Golem ends up being good.
Mason Nguyen
Kirby Air Ride. I love Kirby, I love Air Ride, but everything after that just isn't very good in my opinion. Without Shimomura and Sakurai it's just not the same series. Maybe if the series just died right there, just after slipping out of its prime, HAL would be able to move on and make large scale new IPs, and more creative games. And maybe Brawl would be better.
>there will never be a 12 player 10 minute city trial game
Lucas Perez
Really? I thought Kumazaki's Kirby games were pretty good. I'm inclined to agree with you on the whole IP thing though, I'd love to see new stuff high-budget stuff from HAL.
Hudson Nelson
>no Kirby in MK8D
Xavier Thomas
WoW so the mmorpg genre will continue to flourish
Cooper Walker

Jaxon Reyes
fuck I just realised that gliding in Mario Kart is the same thing as what Air Ride did with gliding.
Landon Murphy
I doubt it, it's not a very large fall, and it's onto sand I'm pretty sure.
Robert Butler
Tumblr was a mistake.
Gabriel Gutierrez
>purging Warcraft 3 to prevent a greater evil How can you even consider that? There's got to be some other way.
