>even though Penumbra done that before....

But Penumbra technically did have combat. You threw shit at the enemies to kill them.

E.T. for the Atari

>>389625385
How? Not saying it's bad but if anything Botw is a reaction to changes in the industry, not something that changed it.

Warcraft III, not because of its own merits, but because it spawned DotA and defence games, and led to World of Warcraft. Custom maps also made for a pretty active modding scene, and I recall that at least some mapmakers went on to make games.

First game gave you a crowbar, I think.

I'm playing through Skyrim SE since it's free as a pure 2H Melee Khajiit. I'm having a pretty good time desu but playing on expert or higher is kind of a meme when fighting that first dragon if you do it early on. The game does like much better than vanilla skyrim on 360. The simple joys of being a poorfag who can run older games at better fidelity now than they ever could on consoles I suppose.

>any fps hero shooter will be overwatch clone

>>389620364
What did Skyrim change?

>>389620364
wizardry
final fantasy 7
warcraft 3
medal of honour AA
Halo
>>389627312
You're gonna be disappointed

>>389629202
Not even out and its changing the industry forever, ea is amazing

>>389630147
>wizardry
Sadly it's influence did not spread far outside of CRPGs, and the whole genre is almost dead now.
>War3
Same, RTS genre is dead now basically...though you could argue that by proxy War3 resulted in WoW which did affect ALL of gaming.

>>389630312
wizardry literally created jrpgs through it's menu battle system japs are still copying the old games
warcraft gave birth to dota

The japanese game industry.

Even in glorious nippon it was almost universally called GOTY. And I'm not talking about the press, the developers themselves were calling it their favorite game of the year. For the notoriously racist and isolationist nips to call a western game their favorite game, and almost unanimously too, is a monumental event.

Bethesda has been influencing the industry for a long, long time. I wonder how many people know that the famous John Madden Football series has Bethesda developers to thank for its earliest beginnings.

I don't feel like Skyrim changed anything. It's very similar to fallout 3.

>>389630795

They also pioneered the post-apocalyptic first person survival shooter with Terminator: Future Shock. STALKER only exists today because of Bethesda.

that looks like shit
