When you think of a longrunning, financially successful videogame series that has zero cultural impact whats the first thing that comes to mind?
>>729187123Fifa
Probably Far Cry, nobody has ever cited it as an inspiration for anything
>>729187123Soulsbornes and those racing games.
>>729187123>people make fun of the first movie for having the same name as Avatar the cartoon>the second and third movie copy the cartoon in questionWhat did they mean by this?
>>729188119Too bad they couldn't copy good or memorable characters.
>>729188015far cry 3 influenced lots of games in the 2010s, mostly with villains and maybe crafting and hunting, maybe?Blood Dragon definitely helped with the 80s nostalgia thing in the 2010s with the Synthwave scene and all that
>Call of Duty
>>729187123Legend of Zelda
kek stay mad, ugly weeb
>>729187123Horizon
>>729187123Avatar definitely had a cultural impact. It lives rent-free in the heads of people who won't shut up about it not having a cultural impact
>>729188015Far Cry 1 and 3 were influential, even if 3 was meh fame.>>729187123Not very long running (yet, lmao) but Horizon.
>>729188805Far Cry 3 and Ass Creed started so many slop trends we're still suffering through today. I feel like Ubisoft ruined gaming more than even Activision and EA but no one wants to admit that.
>>729190216It didn't, not because what it did can't have a cultural impact, but because Pocahontas already had it.
The only times these movies are cool are when the villains are enjoying their shared love of destruction and when the humans emulate 40k and kill all the aliens. Cameron should’ve just made a 40k movie.
>>729190524You misunderstood my post: one kind of impact it definitely had is the fact that for some reason it makes so many people online feel the need to incessantly bring up the fact it had no cultural impact over and over and over.
>>729190748You made me cringe, thanks
>>729190748gay shit niggaand I say that as a 40kfag
>>729190748Get the fuck out of here WHtranny. This franchise is “capitalism bad,” not whatever gay headcanon you made up. If you love simping for PMCs so much, go join blackwater and die for Israel faggot.
>>729190791Well I feel the need to bruise the nose of the leftist absurdity at the heart of it's message. So what? I'll do it for my subsequent step as well. Not OP btw.
>>729190957Well more accurately it's "the savage is noble, and therefore capitalism bad"
>>729191335It's an anti immigration movie you onions cuck
>>729187123>3 avatar movies
>>729190957Anon nobody gives a fuck about these movies, but people do care about other stronger franchises. Now say that post without /pol/ buzzwords and brimming anger.
>>729191460Seethe & cope while your balding manlet begs Amazon to get your dogshit consoomer IP on the small screen.
Elden RingCharacters sucked and no one cares for the story. They just want pretty colorfulslop for normalfag sedation.
>>729191514ESL.
>>729190791>for some reasonI can name you approximately 5.78 billion reasons.
>>729188119The third movie feels AI generated, it is quite literally a 1:1 copy of the two previous movies. I dont think Cameron cares anymore.
>>729191418Avatar is the #1 highest grossing film of all time, with #3 being highest growing being Avatar 2. It came out over 16years ago so we're lucky they haven't spammed the fuck out of it like Disney did with Marvel and tried doing with Star Wars.
>>729190748This is the gayest thing I’ve heard all day. >>>/LGBT/ might be more to your liking anon.
>>729191460> Anon nobody gives a fuck about these moviesThe billions of dollars these movies made say otherwise.
Horizon Zero Dawn.Both games did well in sales and reviews and you see sony constantly pushing it, but Ive never heard anyone talk about it.
>>729187123Nu god of war
>>729191538>"When you think of a longrunning, financially successful videogame series that has zero cultural impact"We're talking about a game series and Elden Ring is basically just Demon's Souls / Dark Souls / etc. Might as well just lump then into a series.Akso a fuck ton of games have copied these games to the point "the Dark Sols of gaming" became a big meme.
>>729192359Avatar influenced capeslop and more CGslop just like Dark Souls with rollslop.
>>729187123It's probably run a little out of steam lately, but the Might and Magic franchise as a whole lasted for ages thanks to consistent sales, and while they were a big part of the way of RPGs at the time were constructed, it's something only a very small amount of people bring up as 'classics' and even then their cultural impact seems mostly surface level
>>729192203So they’re just capeshit fads or FIFI where people see it and forget it the next week. Glad you could come to such a realization.
>>729192530I have never met anyone mention these let alone play them. At least with Avatar, there's a lot of people who said they watched it. M&M is equivalent to a niche Eastern European film that only 5 people know.
Considering how big it is, GTA has very little presence.
>>729192928SA and Vice City still gets mentions and threads.
>>729192928GTA sits in an odd place because it's biggest cultural impact outside of the immediate gaming industry was all the controversial events (ie, when people were really against violent video games and the whole 'hot coffee' thing). And make no mistake, those games sell like hotcakes. But it's true in the modern age, where video games aren't really sources of controversy for their content outside of a few rare expectations, it's mostly only talked about by people already familiar with the industry
>>729192928GTA is huge with those people that barely play videogames
