Yes, this, 1000x this.
God the only thing it needs is multi threading (I acknowledge it’s an incredibly difficult thing to implement). But probably the oldest game I still regularly play. I’ve put at least 8000 hours into it since I first bought on 2016.
New DLC was just announced last Mk the too.

Braid and Ocarina of Time are the two that come to my mind…
Surenho@lemmy.wtf 21 hours ago
Ocarina of time is the one I’ve read in this comment section that best aligns with the feeling imo. Braid is great too but I imagine less popular.
silasmariner@programming.dev 19 hours ago
Fair. Braid is, in some ways, the video game i consider most worthy of the status of ‘art’ so I couldn’t not say it, although it’s certainly not like LotR in that respect. OoT OTOH, feels like it fully fits

Lord of the Rings Online.

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 an artist with muscular dystrophy

Transport Tycoon would still be a fun game even today.

Oh that was fun! I got the demo with a graphics card back in the day. Would never have heard of it otherwise.

My sister and I used to play this when we were kids in co-op and competitive mode and it was a blast! Probably one of our first videogames and it was kind of “Our game.” I just recently found out it was made by the same guys that made jungle strike and desert strike back in the nineties and I’ve been itching to play it again.

This game has so much nostalgia for me. It was the go to game because it had split screen.

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.
uberfreeza@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
Not a videogame, but I’d argue it could very well be the case for Pathfinder, D&D, WH, or any other tabletop system in which you really get invested.

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

I’m willing to give it the first 3 Halo games as well as Mass Effect.

Wonder if he’s played the PS2 LotR games, they were good
kautau@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I mean, they were definitely enjoyable. But I’m unsure if they meet the qualities of OPs post lol

Final Fantasy XI. It’s been online for over 20 years and still has a devoted player base. The game’s scale is so epic that many people still haven’t beaten the expansions.
When it came out it was so far beyond what we had seen in an MMO before - The only competitors were UO and Everquest, but the graphics, music, complexity, and storyline were miles beyond those games.
It’s a game with unimaginable depth of play that takes years to master - not like the hand-holdy easy games we get nowadays. Truly a gem the likes of which we will never see again.

Nah, this or WoW will probably go down in history but I don’t think any game focused on intentionally dragging out gameplay to keep subscribers hooked will ever go down as marvelous examples of gameplay.

I have to ask, what spontaneously made the internet love the lord of the rings movies? For decades after they were made, only occasional jokes about unhinged 20 hour directors cut binges. Now? Frequent jokes about 20 hour directors cut binges, and endless sincere complements. They’re good movies, to be sure, but the shift always seemed inorganic to me.

I have been watching LOTR at least once a year when i was younger.
There used to be a LOTR marathon for the easter weekend on one private TV channel in Germany for at least a decade.
Spin off video games like the battle for middle earth have been hugely popular among my friends
The movies are ranked 6, 9 and 12 place in the imdb top list. No other triology comes close.
It will be hard to find a media IP that is as generations defining as LOTR.
At the end of the day it is also one of the last “great stories” an arc of the epic battle between good and evil that is executed well and not just a self referential pile of dung like all the superhero IPs.
shneancy@lemmy.world 1 day ago
the generation of kids that went to watch it has grown up into adult nerds, and we just needed some time to go out there and gather more data to realise that those films are very well made and a staple in the genre
Hoimo@ani.social 1 day ago
Inorganic? You think the CIA is MKUltraing everyone into liking Academy Award-winning films? I think the only culture shift that could potentially happen is that the films are old enough now that the fans feel the need to remind everyone how good they are. In the first decade after release, we kinda assumed that everyone was already aware.

No, marketing firms. Have you not noticed them?
AusatKeyboardPremi@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This could just be the specific pockets of interest you frequent or whatever the algorithms deem worthy (after all, memes have more engagement).
I have always seen memes and compliments over the past two decades or so. Of course, the memes were more widespread, while the compliments remained where discussions took place.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Inorganic?? I mean, I don’t quite get Star Wars, but I don’t start doubting people’s devotion to the franchise. LOTR was huuuge. I’d still sit there and watch for 16 hours straight if anyone asked me to.

They were always frequent and endless in the places I’ve lurked since the early days. It could have increased here with the influx of ex-redditors.
