This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Books are where it's at! Lord of the Rings all the way!

The first half of the description, combined with the unmentioned ambition of LotR, made me think of Star Citizen. But we'll have to wait another 5-10 years to find out if they manage to deliver on that ambition, and stand the test of time.

Deus Ex, if you ignore that it really is ugly as sin. Sounds amazing! Plays beautifully! But yeesh, Unreal Engine 1 humans.

Most immersive sims are arguably in the same boat. The people involved had enormous ideas. As commercial products, they were woefully underappreciated, until years later. And quite frankly they do look like shit compared to much simpler contemporaries. Some NoClip documentary about Looking Glass could show a major artist had muscular dystrophy that makes his shoulders work wrong, and I'd be like, oh, that explains things.

Transport Tycoon would still be a fun game even today.

Braid and Ocarina of Time are the two that come to my mind...

Anyone know if there's a videogame trilogy of the same calibre?

Edit: Thanks guys!

Wonder if he's played the PS2 LotR games, they were good

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

I mean, they were definitely enjoyable. But I’m unsure if they meet the qualities of OPs post lol

No one mentions Red dead redemption. This world doesn't have any change.

Minecraft. Star Fox 64. Pokemon Stadium.

I think immortal gates of pyre is shaping up to be one!

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Imma go with SNES Mario kart. People still play it. Will continue to play it. It was genre defining. It's not changing ever static. Simply to start but complex to finish.
