And that's why I had a problem with this from the start as Ultima 1 really wasn't that ground breaking compared to others but by 4 you have an unspoken karmic system that tracks level advancement that blew my mind as a kid once I realized that was a thing.
Ultima absolutely pushed significant boundaries but I have a hard time saying it was more influential than tetris.

What did you put in?Git Gud started with Donkey Kong. Younger gamers have no idea how hard some of the coin driven games were -
What did you put in?The question is influential though not iconic. Metroidvanias are popular. Contra doesn't have a genre named for it -
Ultima.What do you think specifically because I can't think of anything they did first with Ultima I? -
Like I said in the other thread, I vote pokemon.Pokemon is The Bard's Tale meets Tamagotchi. Pacman's audience was colossal as was Tetris -
Minecraft might be a good contender in terms of spawning the survival genre and also having so many mods used to pioneer entirely new game modes and even having a major part in machinima and Let's Plays and such things on Youtube.Machinima pre-exists Minecraft by a significant stretch though? Red vs Blue was ongoing when Notch thought of Minecraft. -
Many other games have "defined" their genres, but few have done so quite as completely as Doom (1993).Castle Wolfenstein came out the year before how is that not the first? -
Ultima.Yes I have but I’d be interested to hear what they innovated as Im not sure what exactly Ultima I created for the first time. -
You'll need to pay to edit your Monster Hunter Wilds character beyond the first free redoYes but if I were to play I’d hold on to that free redo forever since it was the only one. -
Ultima.While I would love to agree there’s no way that was the most influential game and I played 1-7 -
You'll need to pay to edit your Monster Hunter Wilds character beyond the first free redoSo Im stuck with what I chose at the beta test as I wouldn’t want to blow my chance at a free change later? -
WB axes Shadow of Mordor maker in setback for clever, sadly patented game systemAnd the point is Europe is adopting the same anti-immigrant attitudes while being on average much worse of a place to integrate within. -
WB axes Shadow of Mordor maker in setback for clever, sadly patented game systemAnd much of Europe is doing the same? -
WB axes Shadow of Mordor maker in setback for clever, sadly patented game systemNo I did not. China already does this. The US will as well. -
WB axes Shadow of Mordor maker in setback for clever, sadly patented game systemLol, sure we do. We might even have more simply because global wealth inequality pushes them towards the USA. -
WB axes Shadow of Mordor maker in setback for clever, sadly patented game systemAt which point the US copies a ton of European IP and floods the world market with less expensive replacements. There are very good reasons why in general we recognize IP rights -
Cool, I guess but kind of surprising given the recency of the release.Im trying to figure out why make this free then. -

[TerakJK] Avowed vs The Outer Worlds - Obsidian's previous game - Attention to detail.You could kill almost anyone in NV as you cannot kill children in any game nor can you kill major quest givers. Perhaps they have reasons to not want to encourage senseless violence to NPC’s at a time when a chunk of the population clearly views others as IRL NPC’s? -
[TerakJK] Avowed vs The Outer Worlds - Obsidian's previous game - Attention to detail.Im not sure what the goal was here. It seems the complaint is that you cannot shoot NPCs in non-combat situations. That while one game considers taking items to be stealing whereas the other does not which the content creator seems to miss. Is this really about attention to detail or do they just prefer one game to the other due to directorial choices?
