What is the actual Citizen Kane of gaming? And by that, I don't mean the best game of all time but what game truly innovated and changed the medium with either technical or narrative achievement.

the thing about citizen kane is that it isn't at all impressive anymore, because every movie afterward used the techniques that it pioneered. so you watch it today and it just looks like any other movie, and you wonder what was so great about it
so
>What is the actual Citizen Kane of gaming?
is a really tough question
Carter Stewart
Goldeneye for FPS gameplay.
Lincoln Watson
mario 64
Elijah Bennett
MGS2, easily.

Nah, it's still a very impressive and well-directed movie. Its themes are timeless and the cinematography is still incredible for a movie that came in the 1940s.
Ethan Turner
Regardless of all memes, it's still OoT because of its enormous influence on 3D gaming.
Camden Carter
These.
William Roberts
In terms of everything which followed it being influenced by it? DOOM, probably.

the quality of cinematography is not defined by the era it was made in. plenty of films from the 30s and 40s are visual marvels. Citizen Kane pioneered certain technqiues, sure, but it was by no means the first, or the only film of its time, to look amazing.

Super Mario 64. Every 3d adventure game before this was an incomplete experience. SM64 was the first game to be a true 3d adventure.
Dominic Hughes
Halo invented FPS
Logan Baker
Doom or Ocrarina of Time. Suck it.
Liam Parker
it isn't though, because those cinematographic (?) techniques are everywhere now
you just expect them these days, so when you see them in citizen kane you don't realize that this is the movie that invented them
Andrew Johnson
Super Mario Bros.
Joshua Wright

Matthew Gray

Samuel Powell
SMB
or maybe Pokemon
Chase Evans
Never ever flickboi.
Samuel Phillips
Donkey Kong for the Arcade.
Jaxon Scott
Quake for FPS because it was one of the first to use 3D polygons for everything and be designed with vertical movement in mind.
Luke Ortiz
There's only one game that could possibly fit this description. The ur-game, the game that epitomizes everything that has happened since. That game is the Legend of Zelda on the NES. No other game before or since was as universal or influential.
(Wizardry is a close second.)

Joseph Robinson
Desperate.
