This discussion is about best game of century, I can't really see no revolution in TLOU, although it's my favorite game of this century.

Revolutionary games are Minecraft, Wow, Wii Sports. Can't really pick one.

well said.

Animal Crossing or Wii Sports I guess. The Sims and Minecraft are good choices as well if PC counts.


Are you thinking innovative? Because the OP was thinking revolutionary.

OP acknowledges Super Mario Bros as the most revolutionary game ever, so I'm completely lost with what you're trying to say.


It is as far as the platforming genre was in its day. Animal Crossing and Wii Sports were not revolutionary, but rather innovative. Revolutions change the way the industry makes games within a small amount of time. 

IE: Super Mario 64 revolutionized open world gaming prompting other games to follow.  Before that open world games already existed on PC. GTA 3 revolutionized what Super Mario 64 revolutionized a generation later. 

Does this suffice for example? No one is following Wii Sports or Animal Crossing. 

GTA 3 following this logic, since almost everything nowadays try to copy its openworld.

TLOUS does not come even close to that.

I can't really say halo was revolutionary when Starseige Tribes come before it. The community really created some great maps and MODs for the game that made it fantastic to play.

Those games are all cool in thier own way, but none of them are revolutionary.



Don't copy random editorials.

Quick question: Which is revelutionary? A game that had a special feature but nobody paid attention to or a game that took a special feature and made it popular?

Seems like whatever we point out as revolutionary, somebody else will say some other game did it first. And, for that matter, define Revolutionary, Influential, and Innovative for those of us who are confused.

Console exclusives are often used by people to try to convince others that their console is better than the other person's console. Its also the reason many people own a console, to play the games which they cannot play on other platforms. But which console exclusive of this century is the most revolutionary in its genre or in gaming as a whole? I limited the discussion to this century because I consider Super Mario Bros as the most revolutionary game in the whole of gaming.

Any game which was a timed exclusive for a console and later came to PC or to its successor can be  considered a console exclusive. But any game which later came to competing consoles or their successor cannot be considered console exclusive so no BioShock or Mass Effect.

Mario 64 was by far the most revolutionary.





Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

Wii Sports, and it actually sold.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

True, but Assassins Creed also pushed the envelope of the divergent era of storyline in an open world a generation later. Thanks to Assassins Creed, we have Shadow of Mordor and Batman Arkham City. GTA 3 was definitely the catalyst though for console open world though after Super Mario 64 paved the way though.

What comes to my mind is the fact CoD: Ghosts was terrible and still sold 20M copys. So who ever is responsible for that kind of BS. Halo or CoD 4.

Wii sports is acceptable too.

Not sure about Wow, since it copyed a ton of things from other MMORPGs, but it influenced just as much as Halo or CoD4 .
