The Ocarina of Time of their genre:
-Metal Gear Solid was OoT of stealth
-Half Life 2 was OoT of FPS
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas was OoT of open world
-Final Fantasy 7 was OoT of RPG
-Warcraft 3 was OoT of RTS
-Tony Hawk Underground was OoT of sports
-Midnight Club 2 was OoT of racing

did I miss any important ones?
>>
>>11394659
I know what you mean but I disagree about THUG and Midnight Club 2. Honestly there is no singular OoT of sports since sports games are all the same anyway and have been for a long time. There might be a racing OoT but it's probably not Midnight Club 2
>>
>>11394659
HL1 was the OoT of FPS
>Metal Gear Solid was OoT of stealth
if being the OoT means total lack of innovation. Its Chaos Theory or Blood Money.
>>
>>11394720
HL2 has more cutscenes and pacing issues than HL1
>>
>>11394659
Which genre is OoT the OoT of?
>>
>>11394659
>Warcraft 3 was OoT of RTS
Starcraft exists, retard
>>
>>11394659
>Midnight Club 2 was OoT of racing
>
>did I miss any important ones?
Midnight Club 2 is a fairly unimportant game in the racing genre. Just a small blink on the radar.
>>
>>11394723
thats weird criteria
>>
Was Majora's Mask or Windwaker the OoT of Zelda?
>>
>>11394726
idk, but Shenmue is the OoT of whatever genre OoT is
>>
>>11394735
Majora's Mask is the Dark Souls of OoTs.
>>
>>11394659
>Tony Hawk Underground was OoT of sports
burger detected, no one cares about that gay scat...ah i meean skating ''sport''
this is a third world board
>>
>>11394726
OoT is the OoT of 3D action-adventure
>>
>>11394728
Red Alert exists.
>>
>>11394659
Not a big fan of OOT, but if you ask me about my favorite game in different genres...
>Metal Gear Solid 2 was Oot of stealth.
>Doom 2 was Oot of FPS.
>Thunder Force IV was Oot of shootemups.
>Final Fantasy Tactics was Oot of tactical rpgs.
>Alundra was Oot of Hydlide-likes.
>Darkstalkers 3 was Oot of 2d fighting games.
>DOA3 was Oot of 3d fighting games.
>>
>>11394787
it's the shitty second half of dark souls where you go after 4 old bitches
>>
>>11394883
>bizarro subversive modernist shit is oot of stealth
>asset flip mission pack is oot of fps
I don't think you get it bro
>>
Doom was the OoT of FPS
>>
>>11394927
Doom 2 was a pack of levels, sure, but a great one, and the new enemies were a very welcome addition. I used to make and play wads, and Doom 2 was the basis for most of them.
MGS2 had a more polished gameplay than MGS and except for things like Rose I loved its plot. Subversive things weren't so common back then, the last hour was genuinely surprising.
>>
>>11394726
Twilight Princess
>>
>>11394948
Doom was the LTTP of FPS
>>11394883
not favorites, just what was the revolutionary jump of a genre or series. You went way to early to portray the innovative jump in your choices, it's not about picking favorites.
>>11394802
>>11394680
Tony Hawk Underground felt like an adventure, with its story mode, and getting off the board, customizing tricks and goals for levels, the like. Didn't hurt you could drive a few vehicles too.
>>11394720>>11394730
I'm probably missing the mark for stealth and racing, I do agree.


I think another good one is Resident Evil 4 was the OoT of horror games.

The OoTs of their genres indeed.

>OoT sucks ass
>all of the "OoT of X" games suck ass and killed their respective genres
Bravo OP! Finally some good opinions.
>>
>>11394728
StarCraft is good and is the ALttP of RTS.
WarCraft 3 is not good, and is the OoT of RTS.
>>
COD4 the oot of console online shooters
CS the oot of pc shooters
>>
>>11395007
>LTTP of FPS
apt
>>
>>11394971
I'm not saying they're bad, but they're not OOT, the big 3D leap of a classic series that normies adore that also set the standards for the series. There's a reason TP and MGS4 were heavy on '98 fanservice.
>>
>>11394997
What are some games from the Twilight Princess genre?
>>
>>11394659
Half Life sucks.
>>
>>11395067
No one plays NFL games. The OoT cant only be good or innovative, it also has to be popular
>>
>>11394659
oot was the oot of ootlikes
>>
>>11394659
-Warcraft 3 was OoT of Custom maps
ftfy
>>
>>11394659
PS2 is the OoT of consoles

Diablo 2 is the OoT of ARPGs

Now an interesting question is what games are the Twilight Princess of their genre? Its a real head scratcher
>>
>>11394883
>Hydlide-likes
Nobody gives a stink about Hydlide.
The granddaddy of ARPGs is always gonna be Falcom and Namco.
>>
>>11394659
Ocarina is not that good.
