Lost Odyssey. I haven’t played Clair Obscur yet, so I one know how it compares, but for me Lost Odyssey is the pinnacle of turn based RPGs.

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.

Puzzle Pirates, frankly. Made, clearly, by people who knew what they were doing, were extremely talented, independent, although eventually tried to hook onto Sega as publisher, almost killed the game and then re-purchased the game from Sega to continue as “re-indie” devs. Still going to this day with a stable player base of a few hundred. The game itself is very clearly hand-crafted and every one of the (few) developers left their mark on it. Feels completed and polished.

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

Entertaining.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

I waited years for star citizen until Ibrealized you can pick up Elite Dangerous for like $15 on sale and its basically what star citizen is trying to be

I mean perhaps the biggest thing going for ED is that it actually works. I’ve got a pile of complaints about the game but Star Citizen is hopelessly busted while ED generally works quite well.

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.
