| binary solo said: I'm not even going to bother reading it, because "greatest" is so subjective that there is nothing other than clicks that can be gained from such a claim. Now there is probably a very good argument for most important though, and it's a better topic for discussion. Because the most important something is the thing that takes you in a new and exciting direction, or breaks it open to a whole new level of popularity. Like the original iphone is the most important touchscreen phone ever to be made, but it's not the greatest touchscreen phone. Iron Man can be said to be the most important marvel comics movie ever, but it's not necessarily the greatest. I don't agree any recent games (as in the last 15 years) can be regarded as most important. They're all standing on the shoulders of what went before. And as the waggle craze is over there's no Wii game that can be said to be most important in terms of fundamentally changing the industry and forever taking the mainstream of gaming in a new direction. |
The are some modern games that are important like imo Shadow of the Collossus showed how to do epic scale battles, and Devil May Cry changing the shape of action games.
