Before we force ourselves to face the reality that is 2020, I want to take one last look over the previous decade. More than that, I want to think about what influence means.
Today's video column isn't a comprehensive retrospective so much as a thought process, going over some of the biggest names in the past decade of games and seeing what impact, if any, they had on the industry.
All that considered, I do come to a conclusion and I do name the game I believe had the most influence in the 2010s. Is it The Witcher 3? Fortnite? Dark Souls?
It... sure is something.

"Clash of the Clans is the most influential game of the decade."
Truly this is the Dark Souls of timelines.
My bones cracked and creaked.
Excellent. Doed that mean I can quash the first flame and fade into the dark with my Firekeeper waifu?
See... we can blame mobile gaming for everything thats wrong with modern gaming...without even turning on our super awesome PC or World changing console.
We live...in a decaying age...
I dunno about that. That would imply that there's a fair fight with a chance to win.
I’m glad that Jim took into account that “influence” can be both positive AND negative. Very important to consider which games have improved the industry AND the ones that detracted
Agreed. We so often boil "influential" down to "what I liked them most this decade". In reality you have to look at what aped the practices and how much of it did so. Unfortunate that the most aped thing was single-handedly the one practice that has deteriorated gaming to a mere shell of it's former self. I mean, in my opinion the 2000's lost a lot from the invention of smaller DLC in general but I digress...
I was gonna say...influence isn't necessarily a good thing. Fortnite pretty much ruined the gaming space because everyone was trying to copy it.
Hmmm... Ohhh!
This is exactly why I say that Ronald Reagan was one of the two most influential presidents of the 20th century
@@tehbeernerd I read your comment and heard triggers going off all over the place xD
Trying to argue with loot box defenders is the Dark Souls of worthless arguments.
*You Died*
We already know what happens when you argue with an idiot.
Well, it's not necessarily the loot box itself that is the problem, it's that companies tend to use it in an awful way.
... I mean, maybe with the exception of how it can spoil a gambling addict's enjoyment maybe...
But yeah, if you say loot boxes themselves are an issue, pretty much any game with RNG is bad too, especially where rewards are concerned... A bigger issue is when there are no alternatives and real money is used as part of it, I think... But yeah, many companies have shown that they can't be trusted with it, so maybe it's best to not have them... I dunno...
@@KitsyX Lootbox itself is a problem. You should not be paying money for a random chance for an item. Loot chances in monster drops is not the same thing. A more apt comparison would be card packs for card trading games. And yes, those are a bad thing.
@THAT GUY This is a teachable moment people. Don't be that guy.
When it comes down to it, that's what we always seem to forget: A bad influence is still an influence.
yup, Time's person of the year wasn't always given to the person that influenced the year most positively....
heroin also has an influence
darkninjafirefox We get it!
Wonder Woman was a good movie!
So true. Sterdust to AEW
The "CCCODCOC" is the best thing I ever heard in this 2020
You look like the Irate Gamer.
@@OmarAlikaj Yeah, so does his name. In Spanish.
The best thing I heard this decade.
Jim Sterling is what Boglins look like in human form. Discuss 😁
I feel happy knowing I've never played or never will play any of those CCCODCOC
At the part where Jim stopped, looked down, and said, "What is that?" I literally had a eyelash on my phone screen exactly where Jim was looking, and I got very spooked.
Yeah, the weirdest part of this video is where Jim just looks you dead in the eyes and says he can tell you didn't get 8 hours of sleep last night and then reads off a list of possible side effects.
@@MaxiemumKarnage what the hell? I went to sleep at 2:00 AM and woke up at 8:00
*Oh no they're becoming self-aware*
I agree, mobile games have had a deleterious effect on the gaming industry in general

CCCODCOC is one of my most favorite sounding things now.
In itself, pronouncing it "Codcock" is nice enough for the concept to stick around, which I'd like to see
@@Wolfeur Be careful in fish and chip shops tho

''Clash of Clans is the game of the decade''
If the past can't hurt me, Jim, why do i bleed?
maybe because you’re a god and batman just punched you with a kyptonite thingy? idfk
we're talking about games, not abot pure shit for uninformed casuals
What the fuck is Clash of Clans? Never heard of it.. EVER
Carewolf well I’ve never heard of you.
King Delirium, since you didn't watch it, I'll tell you that most of the video did quite a good job explaining that there is a quite a world of difference in Most INFLUENTIAL game of the decade, and best game of the decade.
as soon as he said clash of clans I was like "Yep.... sadly yep." It really is the most influential, for all the wrong reasons of course. but still is the most.
ah c'mon man you gotta like the art style... no, no fuck off, I'm sick of these ultra-bright colorful "artstyles". I'm not against them, but now they are over used. I actually kind of get disappointed when someone on the internet looks at say a game like killzone or gears of war (as just examples) and says "oh only shades of brown and grey" like no shit, they are games about war. I miss when that "dark,gritty" was the overused style honestly. And the fact that such colorful games are much more kid targeted with micro-transactions make them all the more slimey looking.
@@plasmaoctopus1728 Although I largely prefer colourful and won't be sick of it anytime soon, I get your point. Style and theme is absolutely necessary, and for games about war it makes sense for them to be brown.
Still, really? You're gonna critique Clash of Clans for friggin' style of all things?
I don't think it's actually for all the wrong reasons, just not the comfortable reasons that Gamers want to admit to. Gamers want to think that this entire industry still has some Grass Roots influence upon it , but the reality is it's the most profitable entertainment media. Do you like Esports? Couldn't have happened without the huge money surrounding the industry that has attracted ESPN to cover tournaments.
My lips pressed together, I inhaled deeply, and knew instantly that he was perhaps the most correct he has ever been.
Ryan Gallagher agreed
I am reminded of a quote from Futurama that had the line at the end of an episode "When you do something good, people won't be certain you did anything at all." I personally feel that line would apply to this decade with a lot of hidden gems out there.
When you siad Clash of Clans as the most influential game, I thought about it for a bit, then realized you are 100% correct. That scares me.
It was bound to happen when games became popular. For the longest time games were for kids or a niche market. But now everyone, including your mom, plays some type of "video game." From Skyrim to Candy Crush to Fifa there is a game for you! And all that consumer interest attracted corporate attention. Games like Fallout were made by hobbysists for hobbyists: that's why there is passion behind the project making something truly unique and memorable. Now? Corporate suites rushing out half finished games because "fuck it, it'll sell enough" to satisfy their greed. They slaughtered some back alley hobos and used their blood to divine the perfect price point between money/time invested and potential profits. Sure, more development will make the game "better," But will it make hte game more "profitable?" The hobo blood says otherwise! Patch it later if you must, then get that DLC chart out made from content we told you to cut from the game to sell back to the consumers later! P-R-O-F-I-T-S!
Now, enough of that, ROYSTAN! ROYSTAN WHERE IS MY HOBO HUNTING RIFLE!?
The decade EA bought all my favorite developers and ruined every one of my favorite series.
Facts! Mass Effect: cancelled. The Sims: half-baked. Star Wars: court hearings. Dragon Age: MIA. Only thing they did right was Apex Legends, and that's cuz Respawn was like not today, Satan.
C&C.... feelsbad
@@gorromoro yeah, I hear ya. Somehow some FIFA garbage got remembered before command and conquer.
Dungeon Keeper... *sheds tear 😢*
their take on simcity was horrible. and the total neglect of spore after buying maxis.... i hate EA.
After discovering Jim three weeks ago, I've officially binged every episode of the jimquisition in the playlist. All 298. It's been worth every second, and I've not a single regret.
Thank god for Jim Fucking Sterling, son.
Time well spent
Thank you for understanding the actual meaning of the word "influential"
For real. Now lets get sterdust in AEW
Raid Shadow Legends bought every youtuber ever in 2010s
And it is still doing it in 2020
Not the 2010s, just 2019.
And still nobody plays it
only 2019, 2010's is owned by Dollar Shave club.
I’m that petty I click off if I see anyone promoting that shite. Only exception is Internet Historian. He gets a pass for taking the piss.
"Mods in open world games like DAYZ and Rust may have originated it."
Arma cries in the corner.
DayZ was based on a arma mod! XD
DayZ IS an arma mod.
And so was the first Battleroyal, that snowballed into what it is today.
All of the most played games of the decade starter as mods to another game. Proof that devs don't know what players want?
Counter-Strike was a Half-Life mod.
DOTA2 started as a Warcraft 3 mod. Teamfortress started as a Quake mod. DayZ started as an Arma mod. PUBG (and by extension Fortnite) started as an Arma mod.
Friend: Why are you hate mobile games much?
ME: CCCODCOC
Let's just call the 2010s The Tenners because that's the amount of money we had to pledge on Patreon so our favourite TH-camrs could survive.
I shall continue to be the only person who calls it the tenties (pronounced tentees) so it falls in line with the rest of the decades.
Aw man I felt that in my *bones*.
call it the chicken tendies
Jim: The past can't hurt you.
Cringey memories: that's where you're wrong kiddo
Michael: Or can it?
Right when you're drifting off to sleep... BAM! - a cringey memory appears. Wake up sweating. Every time.
But are memories the past or the past remembered in the present.
@Con Morr I take it you had a very *loving* uncle that called you kiddo when you were growing up.
Until you remember it ..
I remember how the whole internet actually DIED for a week after Skyrim came out. Not even the webcomics updated until after... and of course, updated only with Skyrim stuff later.
I bought Skyrim literally solely because my friends had nothing else to talk about, so it was either buy the game or isolate myself for a month or two
Lest we forget all the arrow in the knee jokes that lasted a fucking year at least
Further proof for Skyrims influence is the comparisons made between it and TW3 for best RPG, despite the release of each game being years apart. Especially important for a time when games usually had a single year lifespan due to yearly releases from the likes of EA sports, Ubisoft, Call of Dutys, and a few more.
I don't remember that happening since. Closest case was probably God of war.
This is like how Time's person of the year can be someone evil.
When has it not been? Even that time they named "You" as their person of the year, it was more condemnatory that praiseful!
I guess sadness, shock and anger are feelings that you just remember more clearly.
Everyone remembers that Jack The Ripper killed prostitutes, but nobody remembers the people that helped them instead.
We know who Adolf Hitler was, but who was in power before and after him?
You remember that time your brother ate all your candy, but not all the times he didn't do it.
“It’s still the new year. Though there’s not much to look forward to.”
*watching from my room during the lockdown* :|
"The past can't hurt you, the future can" is a legitimately terrifying thought.
But the past can hurt you tho.
I'd like to introduce you to this thing called disease
Some one pass me my time machine !
Imagine thinking there's actually gonna be a world war. Do y'all even know what a world war is? Fearmongering bullshittery.
@@Dharengo I know man, it's honestly worrying how people can be so easily scared.
"CCCoDCoC"
Thanks for the coughing fit, Jim
I had to go back and re-watch from that point. I was laughing so much I couldn't hear what Jim was saying after that.
Witcher 3 isn't influential because no other AAA companies want to put that much effort.
No other company wants to slave their own employees so much...
Or lack thereof
No it's not influential because there were games five years ahead of the witcher in gameplay and lore but made no impact
@@bigcapper2689 Assassin's Creed is pretty much Witcher lite now so that's a lie.
@@BIadelores You can point out plenty of earlier games with similar mechanics who did it first. Don't get me wrong, TW has a higher level of lore and the games are robust with things to learn about the world. But mechanically nothing new
I’m surprised you didn’t mention GTAV since it seems to be one of the games that gave publishers the idea that you could release a title and monetize it for years after
GTA V, Skyrim and Minecraft seem to be overlooked frequently, I'm glad Jim mentioned Skyrim but the influence MC has had on gaming is not insignificant as well as the influence on culture seeing as it's the best selling game of all time
Rockstar jumped rather late on that train. Nothing they invented
@@mychemicalbromance97 being best selling doesn't mean most influential, just most profitable
Gta 5, skyrim and minecraft are trash
Was half expecting a "Breath Of The Wild 7 out of 10" at the last second there.
For me, microtransactions have had a significant detrimental effect on gaming. Last gen I was generally unenthused by EA, Activision, and Ubisoft games because many of them feel designed by committee, but they would sometimes plop out a good single-player game like Dead Space. This gen, though, EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Warner Bothers, etc., have been basically useless to people who play traditional games. Every single one of their games is purposely ruined so they can sell you a fix in the form of a microtransaction. It's really a shame. All of those companies are huge and could make dozens of games of the quality of, say, The Last Of Us, but they've squandered their potential on BS like live services and other subscription-based models. To me, the past decade was defined by the gaming industry's almost complete abandonment of their customers.
Last year I asked my nephew what he got for his birthday and he said he got Fortnite. I said "I don't understand. Isn't it a free game?" He said "Yeah, well, I got the battle pass." To each their own, but I think it's a shame that kids are getting digital cosmetics for their birthdays instead of actual games. Maybe I'm just getting old . . .
Getting old but games used to offer those experiences in 09 07 and 2008 complete games with minimal bugs it was literally 10 years ago when children used to buy complete 60 dollar games you didn't grow too old crime in marketing surpass regulations by a landslide
The Battle Pass at least is relatively inexpensive and has guaranteed content. I know that maybe sounds a little sparse still but in a post-lootboxes world I feel we have to give credit. It's too bad he didn't get Fortnite Save The World, that's apparently the GOOD version of the game- and I say this as someone who plays Fortnite Battle Royale.
"For everyone, microtransactions have had a significant detrimental effect on gaming."
FTFY
yea. Because of this I research a lot before buying any game. Sometimes they make good games.
"All of those companies are huge and could make dozens of games of the quality of, say, The Last Of Us"
Ah, yes, The Last of Us: a game with a pay to win multiplayer mode where the loading screens were constantly advertising the pay to win items to you. Top notch quality right there. Don't forget to buy your crossbow that causes a unique bleeding effect that nothing else in the game can cause! 🙄🤮
when a simple man hears "licky licky wot"
he smashes like
“NO LICKITUNG!?!”
Jim, you probably won't read this, but I just wanted to say; watching your videos makes me happy. I'm an extremely cynical person who's basically lost all hope for the world - so your style of humor perfectly jives with my own. You're one of the few youtubers, or people for that matter, out there that speaks the truth, and says it how it is and how you feel. All the others "critics" are essentially mouthpieces and advertising extensions of the games industry - too afraid to upset the companies that give them free games and the fanboys alike.
Thank god for Jim.
My guess was, "it's that one mobile game, isn't it," and unfortunately, it seems we're in agreement.
I'm not seeing any comments about the mighty boosh being the background whenever Jim is on screen 😂
I genuinely thought it was screen burn and checked if netflix was open in the background
I saw that too, literally the moment he started talking I got distracted. Now Hulu's up somehow and I'm already watching a generic-faced no-name box some killer kangaroo while some model is coaching him.
There goes my day today...
One of the best shows ever made. Saw an article about them rumoring they would get back together and make more of the show. I really hope it's true.
I figured it might be testing for Copyright Deadlock 2.0? More subtle than an abrupt jump to chains of love?

I also lost my shit in that very part as well, jesus christ jim, whats wrong with u
As someone who knows nothing about the game, is it just tossing on a bunch of random letters or some specific acronym/whatever?
Tymme Zinni He’s referencing Candy Crush, Call Of Duty and Clash Of Clans. CCCODCOC
@@lilagtook Makes sense as soon as I read it, but musta missed the joke that people are finding funny about it.
With your lungs.
I'm very new to Jim's content and I feel like I've hit a gold mine. A back catalogue of humour filled insightful ness from an informed and critical thinker.
You should go watch basically any video on loot boxes, bethesda, and Konami. His utter disgust for them is impeccable
Honestly, Jim's best video is probably the one on why he hates the word "consumer." It'll not only explain pretty much this whole channel, but also get you to think about commercialism in a new way.
@@TFGRhinehart IMO the best one is the pasta sause one.
Turning players in to payers was also good. It shows very well how the industry view us.
The past may not be able to hurt you, but Jim's past content is sure to please
"Let's look back at the last decade" - You know this really does have a sense of finality to it.
"when it comes down to the wire"
*shows a picture of mcnulty and omar*
theres a reason me and my mate ( fellow britcunts although now resides in america) have loved you for the past decade. never ever change ever. (also the raccooons references, c'est magnifique) ... i need to to use the french erm before im not allowed to anymore
Clash of Clans.
_"You can beat it without ever paying for microtransactions."_
When I hear that excuse, I'm always reminded of the fact that it takes 5 years to finish Clash of Clans without spending money on it... 3 years ago. Probably add a year or two in that today.
Sure, the gem-production methods are a thing, but they are just. So. SLOOOOW!
Yeah, and that's just how free to wait games manipulate the discussion about their volatility. They can "technically" claim to be beatable without microtransactions, but never really explain how long that will take and how utterly boring it would be to do so. And most people don't do the math to figure it out, hence they get hooked and end up spending money to speed it up. It's incredibly sinister -- just totally fucked up -- this idea that you can win an argument and discussion simply by holding out for so long that the discussion doesn't matter anymore because by the time you can prove anything it's too late and the damage is done.
My dad is retired and plays CoC. He got into legend league last month and hes not spent a dime on it and i know he doesnt because his income is incredibly limited.
"free to wait"lol
When it comes to cost, we consider money only. But time is also part of the cost.
Jim: _"...And hallucinogens influenced the Cats movie."_
...The hell of the thing? _He's not wrong._
*@Saberspark* did a review of it.
Your comment has a "read more" option that does nothing. Why TH-cam.
Don’t look at it! Oh no I. . .
I hope this eventually gets read by you Jim but this felt like one of your best written videos to date. Between the flow, build-up, and the well-placed humour, it was so captivating. Thanks for your work and passion in the 2010s and I hope you have continued success in the coming years.
I think this is the first "most influential game of the decade" video I've seen that actually considered influence.
Jim is kinda guy that would take shots at EA in his wedding speech.
Caspar I think he’s too fat to get married
His gravestone will say "Fuckonami"
THIS
Why not, I did.
Just as god intended
Jim keeping up the gag of calling Andrew Wilson "Android" is honestly so good, I feel like if Jim outlives Wilson he'll still posthumously call him "Android"
But can androids truly die? they could just be repaired or have their brain-program installed on another android.
If he is truly an android he will never die, and his CPU will be inserted into his successor upon his expiration date.
It didnt even register to me that he said it. Lol
Love the Mighty Boosh intro replaying in the background during the intro 😁
Thank god for Jim Sterling!
This was an amazing video, the pacing, the surprise entries... Goddammm, some of the best quality content here on TH-cam.
Jim: "Fortnite is the most influential game of the 2010's...."
Me: "Well, I'm going to be sick."
Jim: "....Until I mention the *actual* most influential game of the 2010's: CLASH OF CLANS!"
Me: "That's it, I don't want to live on this planet any more." >_
Beam me up Scotty I'm done with this shit
It's sickening that people can just so casually afford a night when most people are struggling paycheck to paycheck with no substantial emergency fund to speak of.
So how's space?
Can I have your stuff then?
@@acedias12 it's cold....... and floaty!
The most influential game was clearly the slaughtering grounds. Those gun sounds were so amazing they literally shook the foundation of the industry.
Sterling out here with the Mighty Boosh intro animation as the background, what a king
That was a very insightful summing up of the decade.
The fact The Mighty Boosh was in the background made me thank God for Jim Sterling !
Jim to crimp about shit EA and Bethesda in future videos?
@@ebenezeryubblesworth8717 I think most devs at EA and Bethesda have been to the Crunch.
Try as it might, Bethesda will never be cool enough to hang with "CCCODCOC."
Bethesda WAS never cool in the first place, it's just that people loved their games not them.
"Cyclical experience" is such a good definition!
Thank GOD.
I really like your documentaries like this!
As much as I'd like to think a creative, boundary breaking title would hold the most influence over future games, I know that the most influential game is the one that rakes in the most money. That's what'll be replicated before anything else
yay capitalism...
I was actually surprised Jim didn't mention that it's actually multiple games that influence the industry in any given area or decade. Just take Call of Duty, it's the perfect combination of a first person shooter, with RPG elements, with an easy multiplayer interface... that's an impressive amalgamation of various genres. But Clash of Clans does have the best business model ever , that much is true.
“Adam Kovic .... of Machinima” was not something i expected to hear. My, how the decade has flown by.
Yep. My life flashed before my eyes.
That inside gaming nostalgia
Now not even Lawrence or Bruce are in FunHaus anymore.
Crizznik shhhhh it's still too soon for my heart
Fantastic vid. Very insightful. Forgot all about CoC.
Thanks for the video content Jim.
Thanks for the editing Justin?
Hearthstone was also very influential. Everyone and their mother tried to make the same success with their versions of the card game after Hearthstone became a huge hit. Also, Amnesia the dark descent - it basically became a recipe on how to create a horror game in the past decade.
Which is quite unfortunate, because Amnesia was absolutely boring and now every other horror game is absolutely boring. When I hear "horror game" I now think "Oh, so some ineffectual jump scares and baby's first puzzles. Hard pass."
I would say Magic the Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh were more influential than Hearthstone. Yu-Gi-Oh could have been so much better but the games sucked cause they were made by Konami. Which of course reminds me of Jim Sterling's Fuck Konami News videos. lol
Blizzard games are allways special in this regard; yes everybody tries to copy their succes, no the consumer often isn't looking for that. How many MMOs have actually been a success since WOW? How many card games since hearth stone? How many shooter thingies since that shooterthingie game? How many ill concieved diablo clones have there been?
Yet blizzard is hardly ever original. They grab something that's there and on the rise and feed it to the mainstream public with great succes. Wow is the best example of that by far, excellent timing.
@@bsherder Not when it comes to digital card games
@@mjc0961 If you say Amnesia was all about jumpscare then you're so fucking wrong, or just simply lying because of simple hatred you somehow have for this game and you can't make up an actual legit reason to hate it... Amnesia is in fact one of the survival horror games that ACTUALLY didn't played much on jumpscare but more on its pretty gruesome ambiance and pretty sick story dealing with tortures and constant feel of not being safe anywhere (that is...until you knows the heavy scripting of the game... but that shouldn't happened in your first playthrough).
Claiming Amnesia is about jumpscare is such a fucking bullshit like saying Star Wars movies are all about dragons and elfs... It's just like : wut, didn't you actually played the game ?...
One thing is entirely true though, in what you said: It inspired a fuck ton of horror game that tried to be Amnesia. And among them, a lot of them didn't understood how to make proper unease to players and a stressfull ambiance, and so relied on cheap jump scares.
That is much very true! I'm a big fan of horror game genre, and I really, REALLY, despised the cheap use of jumpscare... but HELL NO, Amnesia was not about ineffectual jump scares, that is just a blatant stupid lie...
Baby puzzle though... yes, lol... Sure it's far from puzzle you could find on Resident Evil or Silent Hill games but well, keep in mind the budget between CAPCOM games and an indie studio (don't know if they are anymore, but the guys who made Amnesia, at least back then, were only a bunch with no AAA company budget...)
TL;DR: Your criticism on Amnesia relying on cheap jumpscare is a blatant bad faith lie or a proof that you didn't played the game you decided to pissed on. + It's not Amnesia's fault if other horror game are "absolutely boring now" (which is also very much false... Just take Outlast games who came after... You can't objectively claim they are absolutely boring). So yeah, stop being this salty, it makes you say overly exagerate bs.

The most influential game of the decade is... but before we get started this comment is sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends.
Big shout out to the people at Ridge wallet
last year's most influential game not decade :p
An interesting retrospective. Goes to show the phrase 'influential game' is quantifiable in many different ways.
As to battle passes, it's weird that online games started out as a subscription model, moved away from that, and are now circling right back around to it.
And once people stop paying for the subs, it'll go out of vogue again. Time is a flat circle.
@@HollowGolem But no one actually stopped paying for subscriptions. World of Warcraft has been running that model from it's inception, and there are a number of other online games that started running subscription services, and continue to do so. People just couldn't afford to pay a subscription for every damn game that came out and had some form of online. Thats market saturation.
Market saturation is still something companies just cant seem to get a grasp on. It is the reason loot boxes are about to be regulated, it's the reason only a handful of battle royals remain in popularity at any one time, it's the reason so many MOBA's fail.
Not every game can be a persistent online game with a subscription model.

The 'Some mothers Do Have em' reference had me on the floor! Lol...
Thanking god for Jim Sterling was the most influential catchphrase of the decade.
I keep looking back at my favourite games of the decade, then finding out that the weren't made in this decade and then feeling really old.
Although a lot of them were made better this decade, such as Fallout 3 and New Vegas, through modding.
I called it when the video first started - the most genuinely "influential" game is candy crush or clash of clans. Even major triple A titles have been trying for years to ape their business and content model.
Great video as always! It reminded me of the Wachowski’s Speed Racer movie where Royalton explains to Speed what racing is really about lol. Jim reminds me of that actor too, Rodger Allam, the great parts in movies he plays.
Jim: Clash of Clans defined freemium micro-transaction gaming.
FarmVille: Am I a joke to you?
Farmville pales in comparison
You can't claim Clash of Clans defined micro-transaction gaming when 4 years earlier farmville was destroying family credit cards. Farmville is the mack daddy of disgusting freemium micro-transaction exploitation.
@@mrscreamer379 Go look at the figures. Farmville is nothing compared to clash. So yes in comparison farmville is a joke.
Mr Screamer Thank you for keeping such an inspiring, original, witty, clever meme alive. You're a hero for bringing such culture and genius to our lives. Truly, you are the Dark Souls of commenters.
@@ironrose6 We all stopped talking about this 3 weeks ago, dickhead.
"Let's look back [...] the past can't hurt you, only the future can hurt you."
"Clash of Clans is the most influential game of the decade."
Y'know what, I for one welcome the nuclear apocalypse.
Ikr
Let's open our arms and hearts to embrace the cleansing nuclear fires.
Thank god for Jim.

Love "the mighty boosh" wallpaper. What an absolutely weird funny show.
Watching the Mighty Boosh intro behind Jim is what I need
God I love Adam Kovic, but he's never gonna live that one statement down lol
Vega what statement?
i would say as much as Undertale is "influentail", i believe that Shovel Knight is also a great example. This game proving that crowdfunding can be a lucrative way to fund a game. That being for the good (Hat in time or Bloodstained) or the bad (Yooka-laylee or Mighty Number 9).
I feel the exact same way. I feel like there are more games inspired by shovel knight, than undertale.
Undertale was far more culturally influential, whereas Shovel Knight was a shining beacon to indie games and devs specifically.
At least Yooka-Laylee got itself a very good sequel in The Impossible Lair.
@@crazyluigi6664 I meant base game Yooka-laylee
@@examinedyeti4392 Honestly even that game wasn't bad. It was mainly buried by all the controversy around it that was mostly blown out of proportion.
love your work Jim. Please keep it up!
The cats movie comment made me cough out my drink laughing. Cheers for that.
Justin Note: "Okay, I'll stop now."
Me: Never stop.
Justin is a silly goose
‘Clash of Clans’
I mean, I agree with you but ew.
I'm not sure I agree. It made the most money, but Jim didn't really justify it's influence, except that lots of people know about it.
It influenced monetisation, but how did it influence game mechanics?
Plus12 Gaming because there are soooo many games that are knock offs of it with the same “build a base and attack others concept”
@@bbqR0ADK1LL Why does it have to have an effect on game mechanics to be influential? For example Battlefront 2 contributed nothing to game mechanics whatsoever but had a catalytic and cataclysmic effect on EA and the game industry as a whole.
@@bbqR0ADK1LL like it or not, gameplay is only a small piece of the puzzle of modern games as a whole. To publishers, gameplay is mostly irrelevant, monetisation is king and what better example than coc. Games today are less like games and more like business products unfortunately.
The most random shot of Ian Hislop. Made me smile.
Watching this in September 2020 and just how despondent Jim is back in January...man, we really knew nothing back then.
"What other system could play RE:4?"
You cheeky goose.
sh4d0w2013
Seems strange that Capcom never rereleased it on any other platform till the Switch. It’s the kind of game I can see people buying on no fewer than 12 different platforms.
I’d even go as far to say I’ll buy it at a high price.
I mean I could bust out my old GameCube out of the closet to play it, but that’s a lot of work for one game no matter how good it is.
@@MungkaeX They are releasing RE3 this year. RE4 is next probably.
@@glikorgo Woosh
@@MungkaeX I feel like I'm missing a joke here, but you can play RE:4 on Xbox One. It's on game pass.
@@MungkaeX They have released Resident Evil 4 on a ton of systems. I own the ps2 version of it. They released a wii version of it using the wii remote. They also have a remastered version of it on the ps4.
12:51 those people still defend the loot box. "it's just cosmetic!"
Which it is
@@angryoldgamer4845 It's also psychologically manipulative.
@@CasaiAgicap and that's the issue, what if its "just cosmetic" this time? Then next time it's not and its normalized by then? 😑
I keep being distracted by how much the new pink hat moves XD
This was a ride to watch. Thank you Sir. Love you
I flippantly mumbled "Clash of Clans for its bloody monetization" when the video started. While Jim's reasoning was far more nuanced, it's depressing to have called this one.
Depressing as hell
If you think about it objectively , the business aspect of that game is in itself a revolutionary achievement for the industry. You look upon it with disgust but that same success is why ESPN, NFL owners, and award-winning movie directors are trying to get into the industry. It couldn't have happened without COC.
@@shindean I think the world could live without those groups getting into gaming.
@@qv43v oh, the list goes on and on. You think I'm going to give a complete summary of every single National and international organization that has been investing in Esports? This thing is now bigger then you could ever fathom , you probably didn't even know that video games are the highest entertainment media on the planet... you can't hide that much money.
It's a testament to how much income it generates without for me personally instantly recognized and knowable. There may have been adverts for this or other games with great art and character design that looks nothing like the actual game play itself, but it's also not something I see a lot of conversations or comments off.
So it doesn't take a lot for word of mouth to get round about a mobile game and then to lure in other people who then spend a few quid here and there and so on.
It's easy for me to turn off because it's not designed for me in mind. My mother on the other hand who enjoyed the puzzle platform games of the past, had to cut out the F2P games as it was too demoralizing. Thankfully she realised it before it got too bad, but for others that's not going to have the same ending.
Okay, I agree with almost everything.
But that stew he used for the toxic stew comment doesn't look terrible.
Whatever this guy puts is trending it's amazing

Ah Adam, the best of the FunHaus boys and breaker of all games.
It's weird to be "looking back" on Skyrim.. dammit I'm gonna get old some day
If you are lucky.
I remember waiting to get home from middle school to play it rip
I used to be an adventurer like you until I took an arrow to the knee.
How far Bethesda have fallen...
With WW3 starting and anti-vaxxers starting a new plague... I don't think you'll have to worry about getting old.
had an argument with some friends about how much influential witcher 3 actually was and i ended up in this video for some points, but in their views the game saved the industry from some live service apocalipse that i can't agree on, for me, witcher 3 just plays the same cards as skyrim with some upgrades, but not enough to be revolutionary
Evidently, it hasn't stopped the "live service apocalypse". Every tent pole release now is a live service. Indie games aren't but they were never going to be. All it did was add 1 to the number of AAA games that weren't. And this was in 2015, before live services totally eclipsed the AAA games industry.
Playing Casino Night Zone at the loot box segment...nice touch.
