Me: That doesn't make it the same game! That's like saying that all food is the same because cavemen ate animals once.ĭad: Completely the same.

All I'm saying is that Wolfenstein 3D was the catalyst for all this. What about the rest of the sports games? It's ridiculous to think those are tied back to Wolfenstein 3D.ĭad: You have to navigate a course and score a goal, which is the same as beating a boss and you get a score for it. No blood, no Nazi zombies or giant guns, just sport. In fact, how about any flight or driving simulator? They are a completely different genre than first person shooters. Me: Ok, how in any twisted version of your video game universe is this game related to Wolfenstein 3D? You drive cars around a futuristic course and hit a giant soccer ball into a goal.

nevermind.ĭad: All I'm saying is Call of Duty and every other game is the same thing as Wolfenstein 3D. You skate around in magic shoes and destroy zombie looking demon creatures with insane weapons and. Me: Ok, this game is completely different I swear. Me: *Growing further frustrated* But you play as LEGO figures and each of them have different abilities to find those secrets.ĭad: *Growing further obstinate* Still the same thing. Who the hell is Thunderstrike? Veil? Speed? Wendigo?ĭad: You mean you have to find secrets behind hidden doors and find your way out of mazes? Just like Wolfenstein 3D! Though, I have no idea who most of these characters are. There are tons of in-jokes and it expands on an already deep universe.

Me: In LEGO Marvel's Avengers you play as a toy and have to find a bunch of hidden secrets to get 100% completion and use creative thinking to solve puzzles. Using combo moves and button combinations to defeat your enemy.ĭad: Kind of like switching weapons or figuring out how to beat Doctor Schabbs on the "Bring it on" difficulty setting. One on one.ĭad: So every battle is a boss battle with tons of blood? How is that not the same? It's just a bunch of boss battles over and over. Me: How about this? This is a side scrolling fighting game. Dad: So just like in Wolfenstein 3D when you run out of bullets? Stab.
