/vr/ - Retro Games

So many retarded takes itt. Influental =/= innovating. A game is influental if it's popular and other developers try to copy its features. Doesn't matter if those features first appeared in that game or anywhere else.
Was Halo influental? Absolutely.
Was it innovating? Hardly.
Was Halo influence good or bad for the genre? Subjective, depends on whether you like Halo itself or not.
Was it the most influental game since 1993? Absolutely not, but it's among the top.

t. played Halo a couple times, didn't like it.
