all i’m saying is when did we last have a game with the cultural staying power of Portal 2 (2011)
Minecraft.
Minecraft was playable in early access from 2009 and the full release was in the same year as Portal 2
undertale?
Undertale is up there I’ll admit but seeing as that was an indie game that kinda serves my general point of the larger gaming industry mostly phoning it in
People have been suggesting games like Dark Souls and Skyrim. And I agree! Those had a huge cultural impact and are still remembered very well.
But those were… also… from 2011…
Not to be an obnoxious Nintendo weirdo but I think really the biggest game would be breath of the wild? Think of how many open world games, even if they take after the Ubisoft model, are now just called breath of the wild clones. Even if that title isn’t deserved.
Honestly you’re not wrong but also it’s funny because yeah Breath of the Wild was totally inspired by Skyrim and other pre-existing open world games
It’s definitely gonna have more staying power than any other Zelda game other than maybe Ocarina but I wonder if it’ll still be more than a footnote 5 years from now
with BOTW 2 on the horizon, botw 1 is pretty much a footnote. the only reason its got staying power is due to new glitches and new easter eggs or oddities having been found but theres been significantly less trickle of that lately. soon everything that can be found will be found and the new hotness will be BOTW 2

i dont think skyrim counts. its cultural staying power is artificially caused by regular re-releases. if hadnt been rereleased like every year since it came out it would probably have been less memorable than oblivian
Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.
I remember seeing in a video once (it was actually about medieval footwear and the change of gaits as footware evolved) the narrator said something along the lines of “humans have evolved this really great energy-saving mechanism: if we can be lazy, we are.”
NEW POKEMON CONFIRMED FOR XY!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO NAMES AS OF YET, BUT IT IS BELIEVED TO BE AN ELECTRIC/ICE TYPE!!!!!!!! POPULAR FAN NAMES ARE “BLUE PIKACHU", “ICELECTRIC", AND “GAY SHITTY IDIOT".
The reason they had to this is that apparently the old design of the train caused sonic booms and people living near the tracks were understandably less than thrilled by this.
