@@lsswappedcessna it was always affordable and accessable. Since when wasn't that the case?

[@lsswappedcessna]

@@cliffhanger906 Back when the home computer was new, they were prohibitively expensive. For example, back when the Apple II first launched, a basic model priced in somewhere around $1,300, which adjusted for inflation is just over $6,000. The higher end model with 48KB of RAM was $2,638 which is equivalent to $12,739 today. For comparison, the computer I built going on a year ago with 32GB of RAM, a processor that clocks around 3.2 GHz, which absolutely blows the doors off the Apple II's 1 MHz processor, was a frog's hair over $2,000 in today bucks, which adjusting for inflation in reverse would have been about $400 in 1977. You'd have to be denser than osmium to think the home computer was anywhere near accessible back then. Sure, you had the Atari and other predecessors to the modern gaming console, but even they were about as expensive as an entry level gaming PC at the original MSRP of $189.95, about $920 after inflation. Nowadays you get far more bang for your buck as far as storage capacity, memory, overall stability, reliability and processing power go. As for the accessibility, I'm talking about people with disabilities as well as just normal people who aren't huge nerds. I could see games with complex vector graphics like the original Elite and other games in the late 70s and throughout the 80s being nigh impossible to play for people with certain visual impairments, poor depth perception, certain types of color blindness, those kinds of things, meanwhile modern games usually offer colorblindness settings among other disability accommodating features, and just generally look more appealing and are easier to understand to the average person, as well.

[@hippoplatypus]

I think some of the reasons the old games were high on thislist are: -Less language barriers as there was less narrative so the audience was wider -The market saturated with a lot of new games genres and titles so the audience fragmented -and the obvious one, they've been around longer

[@necromancer1436]

yeah, like the fact that they had 10s of millions sold before other games came out gives a huge huge advantage, so even if other games were being bought way more in recent years, the old games are gonna stay high just because their number is already really high.

[@smashog7500]

Asmon, when it comes to Minecraft, you have 2 ways to play it: mods, or vanilla. You need to have a creative flair to build along with learning the mods you like, and then the game becomes what you want, how you want it. For me, it is a single-player game, and with todays' bullshit climate for games with toxic mechanics, playing by myself is ideal. Minecraft does have 'an endgame' but the game itself, is endless.

[@BigBoyXanos]

I think it might be pretty interesting for him to try out Sevtech Ages modpack or something similar. It would be quite familiar ground for him, since the modpack focused heavily on quests and progression + giving detailed instructions on each and every step. There's quite a lot of grinding and crafting as well as challenging combat. It would be absolutely epic to see him literally progress from stone age to space age (and this is not a spoiler, it's literally this, if not most of the modpack selling points)

I think Asmon would enjoy the dungeon raiding aspect of Minecraft a lot. Basically raiding nether fortresses, bastions, strongholds, sea temples, etc. These dungeons are in the base game and there are a ton of modpacks that will give you an RPG style system with a ton of bosses and dimensions to explore.

as a 40 yo gamer i remember all of it. the chart is very acurate. for example: Halo hype came only at a later date even the the game released years earlier.

The reason FPS don't really make the list is because: FPS sell like shit in Asia. For some reason, we don't know why, East-Asians are hyper-sensitive to motion sickness, which makes FPS by default much less desired. So any FPS has a disadvantage on a global sales level, since the most populated part of the planet doesn't really like them all that much. That and the XBox never being a name brand in Asia.

[@sportschool3537]

Also, how do you want CoD to make the list when there is a new CoD coming out every year? It needs to sell 50mil copies IN A YEAR... that's impossible... think about it this way... The Witcher 3 isn't on the list... Monster Hunter World (one of the best video games of all time that sells crazy hard in Asia) isn't on the list... and you want CS:GO and mf-ing CoD cancer games to be on the list of the highest selling? Same with Sports games... if you counted the franchise and not each separate title individually, FIFA would kick Super Mario's butt even as a franchise cause we're talking about 10-20 mil sells per year for over over 30 years... we're talking about way over 300million copies... Tetris and Minecraft had 180mil at the top of the list... FIFA easily doubles that as a franchise (even as the worst sports game in the world that it is nowadays... and that's coming from a guy that was a 0.1% top tier player of FIFA back when it took skill until 2015)... this game in it's shit, completely unplayable form sells almost 20mil hard copies a year... think about how mindblowing the number is...

@@Wildjesta yeah this list seems to be individual games not franchises. obviously it'll be very different if it's based on franchises but as you said mmo's are just... not as popular as we mmo players would like to think.

[@trolldrool]

I remember playing Missile Commander in the early 90s on my parents' work computer whenever they took me to the teachers' office. I sucked at it, but it was still fun.

[@kaiosun]

I never got why pokemon was so popular.. and I was in their target audience back in 96-99 . But then again my games where sports games + team fortress (quake 1 mod)

[@blueshoals]

10:54 The point of the game is that it DOESN'T teach you how to play it. MineCraft cannot be enjoyed by anyone who cannot think for themselves. The game does nothing to teach you about how to play it, and does next to nothing to tell you what you're able to accomplish. It doesn't tell you where to go, it doesn't have tutorials, and it doesn't give you "quest objectives." It is like the spectral opposite of a Call of Duty Single Player Campaign, which holds your hand, gives you orders, and tells you exactly what to do during every second of every minute of the four pathetic hours that it takes to finish it. This is what people mean when they give the simplified explanation of "yOu nEeD to mAkE YoUr owN fUN." Minecraft was made for a generation of kids who don't like boomers telling them what to do. So they play a game that literally goes out of its way to get out of YOUR way and tell you as little as possible.

[@GreenEyedDancer]

It is a bunch of legos without lego set instructions. No step by step guide, unless you find one in internet.

[@blueshoals]

@@GreenEyedDancer Yes. And you can find plenty of videos explaining the systems of the game and how they interact, but there is no video that can genuinely teach everyone "How To Have Fun Playing MineCraft."

[@migueltucabron]

Pretty sure the current itineration of Minecraft has some sort of basic help with crafting. So not entirely true.

[@blueshoals]

@@migueltucabron Yes! But the game became popular far, far before any of those features were added.

[@migueltucabron]

@@blueshoals Sure but Asmon will very likely play the current version and hasn't played the older ones. So in the context of this video it's certainly important.

[@AnthosTheLegend]

I watched Minecraft from the very get go, like around Beta, and it so satisfying and enjoyable growing up with it and seeing it go through it's stages, I won't lie, it was a little annoying that it was a bandwagon at a point were it started getting mass attention because it was the "current meta game" But honestly I just thought that the game deserved it. I'll never forget Minecraft and will always go back to play it with friends every year or so in a server. The memories from that game are some of the best I have in gaming.

[@adonizi]

These videos are the best.

[@MouseDestruction]

Dont forget that tetris has sold many copies as handheld devices. Also some games like pac man, space invaders, donkey kong were sold as arcade machines, which have a much higher sale price.

[@tist203]

Dude I never beat that original Mario on game boy either. Always died on that level with the big statues. Underwater level was amazing as well.

[@ralphjames1211]

As far as games made during the 2000s goes, World of Warcraft (Retail) and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion are the two oldest still played video games of all time that players still play to this day as far as years goes! And as far as retro games from the 80s/early 90s goes, nothin beats Adventure, Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda and Pitfall!!!

[@ninjycoon]

You are actually a poggers variety streamer.

[@jake0r]

when you look at the top games of 1998 and then realise the original half life came out in November of that year its actually mind blowing what valve was able to achieve with that game at that time.

[@FuckingJuggalos]

with thousands of hours on diablo 2 i found Tyrael's Might twice but there are still items i've to this day never seen personally drop.

[@frederikstaufeldt5543]

how is tetris countes as 200 million sold? are you taking every new iteration like tetris effect aswell? or is it because it counts some mobile version which might be free?

[@MrSPW93]

Halo was a console exclusive on a console that didn't sell that well. And wii sports was bundled with every wii console so that's why the sales for that are soo huge

[@MACnCHEESE110]

asmons face at the end of the vid … had me rolling

[@JoeyT248]

I had a mirror drop in legion league while i was farming for a headhunter, biggest poggers moment of my gaming life lol

[@Fujtajblus]

the ARAM 17:32 cannot happen (unless I am missing something) because the All Random means that each champion can be on the map only once. It cannot happen the other team has the same champ. The only tweak would be that you create a blind pick and the players pick the exact same team actually and the random element comes in the fact that noone tries to do this on purpose.

[@saadsarnaik]

Would be really cool to see Asmon play some old games, maybe on an emulator

[@kawaiihaki2480]

im so happy to say ive obtained not one but two 94% shams in my days grinding for loot on BL2

[@manzell]

The Big Leaps in Game Graphics in the 90s were Super Mario 3, Wolf3d, then Unreal Tournament.

[@scotty_yata]

New series: Asmongold plays all the mainline Mario games in order.

[@MystLs]

I wonder if that counter includes everyone that got a copy of D3 from the WoW Annual Pass or just from purchasing copies alone

[@kamgodrick3147]

Gamboy Mario was the best. The ending was amazing. Once you have beaten it it’s pretty easy to do again.

[@axonathan]

I loved the Game & Watch heldhelds back in the day....I still have my original Donkey Kong and Oil Panic

[@Kitsune-gs7fm]

That super mario part with your mom was beatiful reminds me of my own childhood loved and still do love super mario world

[@pirategoku3218]

Blows my mind just how these games got so famous

[@nydcat]

if I remember correctly super mario 3 was unique in the fact that it could fluidly scroll in all 4 direction, something the nes was not supposed to be able to handle

[@matthewseablom1174]

I actually still have the original on gameboy. Found it in my dads car from a duplex client that just up and left without paying rent. Cleared out the house and low and behold had the original kirby, mario, and wario for gameboy.

[@Minekr4ft]

If he wants an endgame he should look into Modded Minecraft. A lot of fun modpacks with quests that guid you on your adventure if you're new as well.

[@Ian-nj4ix]

Super Mario World and Super Mario RPG were my life

[@Warbec]

Some of those stopped updating after a while, like pokemon and Mario Kart

[@trijondee]

I kind of expected to see a 40/15 jewel from diablo2 in there somewhere, Remembering a story about that from the days back there that they actual was so rare that statistical everyone having one, would have a duped one.

[@Tijuanabill]

Most of the top games came with the console. Pac-Man with Atari, Mario with Nintendo, Tetris with Gameboy, Duck Hunt came with the gun controller, Sonic came with the Sega, etc.

[@bradstewart6585]

The eyebrow’s get me every time🤣🤣

[@facepalmjesus1608]

my buddy farms Diablo 2 since 2000 every weekend!! He never had Tyrael's Might

[@storbokki371]

I was surprised Everquest was not on this list. released in 1999.

[@123bluesssman]

16:48 hey alright

[@a.o.skurtt]

When you watch these maybe you can watch them in half speed or something so we get more time to watch/react. And you get more content

[@forensic_bones185]

I'm 17 still play super Mario bros on moms Nintendo. and remember playing Pac man, San Andreas, Black ops 1/2, New Mario bros, Red Dead, GTAIV, Left 4 Dead, Skyrim while growing up

[@GenerationIcarus]

It's just a chill game. Let your imagination run wild. If you get bored, download mods and maps, invite your friends, play on servers. There's multiple pvp minigames : hunger games, the walls, spleef. And it's free

[@KeytarArgonian]

The Onyx drop from a bag of gems in OSRS has only ever happened once since launch.

[@snowblind85]

Not sure if anyone told Asmon or not, but a lot of those games, like New Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart Wii, etc were SUPER popular in Japan

[@vinceplace3667]

super mario 3 was my biggest shock in gaming. I was 10 yo it was one of my most ecstatic moments ever

[@thunderdragon8341]

final fantasy 7 was a big hit surprised it never showed up on the list

[@joodajoo]

I have actually top decked/opened on exodia before. didn't realize odds were this bad.

[@koriharpoon3357]

You should play Super Mario Galaxy. The worlds and the music are wonderful.

[@peacemaker63604]

Super Mario world was my second game ever, got it with my GBA and I was ecstatic for a week.
