What games popularized certain mechanics?
I was trying to think of which games created certain mechanics that became popular and copied by future games in the industry.
The most famous one that comes to my mind is Assassin’s Creed, with the tower climbing for map information.

ESDF is the superior keybinding
It's such a pain remapping controls on every. single. new. install.
But it's worth it. Fuck wasd
it's one key over, is it really swear-word level different?
If naughty words cause you a level of righteous indignance, my recommendation is to abstain from online activities until one reaches the age of majority
Asdf is just better for general key availability imo
I never understood this for first-person shooters. You can't walk forward and backward at the same time, so I don't see why being able to press the forward and backward movement keys at the same time would be useful at all.
Top down games with 8+ directions of movement it's great, though.
It's not about being able to push both movement buttons at the same time, it's about being able to push more buttons in general. For hero shooters, mobas, MMOs, and other games with lots of inputs spreading out your reachable keys is really good.
Esdf requires more dexterity and is generally less accessible.I'm an idiot and misunderstood which key bind was being talked about
Been RDFG since about 2002. One of my roommates in college was in the top thousand on Unreal Tournament. He talked me into it. God, I get good at that game playing against him.
