This game was demonstrably more influential for the vidya industry than Mario 64 and OoT, and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.

Long term? Sure, popular games became way more cinematic and serious with time. Anyone who doesn't agree is blind. Short term there were a bunch of games inspired by M64 and OoT, but eventually games became more adult oriented, which is what MGS1 was doing when the industry was still built around kids and teenagers

MGS was influential for all the wrong reasons.
In fact, there is something about MGS that no one points out. It was the first DLC-ish game.
They put out an unsatisfying movie game, and then made a bunch of actual missions to play through and sold separately.
So you not only have the first popular movie game that everyone loved, it also brought along DLC-ish content too

It's not an expansion though. It was a standalone game sold separately in America. I say standalone but not really. You wouldn't buy that unless you were already an MGS fan. So it was a lot like DLC.

Ff7 made jrpgs the most popular genre in America for a while. America, where they eat grease and shoot each other in schools. Even that shit hole loved jrpgs after ff7

There never was a huge sneaking genre. Some games added some variant of sneaking, which existed before and after mgs

Oftentimes I see indies latching onto more successful titles as a form of marketing. Then you play their games and you don't see the claimed influence anywhere.

I have a serious problem with people who can't form an opinion by themselves and instead point to authority. Play the games, form your own opinion, bitch.
>>9887042
So OoT invented 3rd person games now?

Anyways, the fact that it's always the same examples (Dork Souls and GTA, and only because the devs "said so") shows that OoT influence is much overrated and overhyped.

>So OoT invented 3rd person games now?
Care to point any other 3D game that had Z target? Megaman Legends and Tomb Raider's lock-on is completely different (not as advanced) to OOT and Dark Souls' target system.
I don't know about GTA, but I do believe Miyazaki is telling the true, it's evident.

Lou Reed was definitely a good musician and wrote some incredible songs/lyrics. Just because the majority of his discography is dog shit does not make him bad. He was a junkie piece of shit and shit out more music than he should have, but songs like Heroin, Pale Blue Eyes, Charlies Girl there are so many to name. He was good. He was also bad
