Came here to say this, that game is a masterpiece. By far one of my favorite games.
moonburster@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Terraria! That game is great and aged like fine wine

Came to say Terraria.
Played it in 2017.
Then tried to play it in 2022 and was blown away with what was added.

I need to replay Bastion. One of my all-time favorites, for sure.
ikidd@lemmy.world 10 months ago
World of Warcraft, at least for the first 3 expansions. I think the people that made it back then were utterly devoted to the story and gameplay, as were the players. I’ll remember playing that until I die, so many memories.
Downvote away.

Mass Effect. I know some will disagree, the third game has a lot of glaring issues, and EA really fucked up the ending, but as far as a fully fleshed out story and universe with a multitude of unique and independently structured species, characters, and cultures I think it’s one of the best. The writing and possible story outcomes and decisions that vastly and permanently affect the story from the first to the third game are insane.
bathing_in_bismuth@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
We don’t talk about Andromeda anymore… (And such a fucking lost chance at continuing the franchise) I agree. At the time of release, it sucked all your choices where concentrated to three at most. Actually it still sucks. Buy the whole experience from 1 to 3… It takes space in my mind you know. Its the peak of escapism for me. 3 should have been a lesson to learn from going forward with the franchise… But EA mauled all of it… The worst part is, with such strong connection to the world, lore and characters you can’t just make a “spiritual successor”. The same formula wouldn’t work without preexisting lore.
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I agree, it’s all or nothing with Mass Effect, you have to play all three games, especially with the third one because that game is trash if you haven’t imported a save from the previous games, it simply does not stand on it’s own like 2 does. Andromeda had a lot of amazing gameplay mechanics that I felt were a big upgrade from the Shepard saga, but every other aspect of that game was just so awful that I can’t even think of it as canon to the original series. They could have done some cool shit with it, but instead we just got a castrated rip off version of the original trilogy story, but with less species and absolutely no consequences for your decisions, and crew interactions were utter bullshit, everything lead to the exact same thing. Fuck EA. The online co-op stuff was pretty dope, though.

Morrowind ?
orbular@lemmy.today 10 months ago
Neither of these are popular enough to be on the scale of LoTR, but in terms of atmosphere and detail:
Hollow Knight - my absolute favorite thing about it is each NPC has its own voiced language recorded, babbling in the background as you read the dialogue.
Subnautica (the first one) - shitting myself with each new experience is something I’ll always cherish. Highly recommend just playing without looking into the gameplay or plot. Has elements of exploring, resource gathering, base building, psychological horror (not graphic, just tense scenarios), sneaking.

A genuinely heart warming story that deals with strong themes of love and friendship in a way that made a genuine impact?

Elden ring
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’d go with Elden Ring too.
It’s not everyones cup of tea, but the sense of wonder you feel as you explore the complex and intricate world is truly awe-inspiring. It’s hard to believe how much high-quality content they were able to put into it, how well it works together, and how much discussion it has spawned.
I’m pretty sure it will forever stand as one of the greatest games of all time, for very good reasons.
frank@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
I feel like the labor of love part being something like Factorio, Satisfactory, NMS is fitting. Also grand scale, holds up well, graphics aren’t the main point
Saleh@feddit.org 10 months ago
NMS looks pretty good though.
Or maybe i am just a bit dated with my expectations.
frank@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
It does, so maybe it’s not the best example. But the labor of love part for sure
NessD@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Mass Effect. Even though it has its flaws, it was just an epic story, built up perfectly over three games. The ending is disappointing for some, but I really liked it. I was really excited for the sequels when the first one came out.

Game was truly a masterpiece
CancerMancer@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I did not understand the hype for this game at all. I liked the first one better to be honest.

No Man’s Sky. Fight me.
Aspharr@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Talk about a game with an amazing redemption ark. I played it on release, realized how shallow it was and put it down after maybe 5 or 6 hours. Fast forward a year or so and I heard it had significant updates. I was amazed when I picked it back up.
I play it again every year or so and am always impressed that they keep adding things to this game. Such a rare occurrence that a game that flopped so hard could really turn it around.
It’s not a 10/10, but to call it anything but a labor of love would be unfair to the developers at Hello Games, including Sean Murray. That man received a ton of shit on the release of the game but didn’t take his money and run. Last I checked he’s still there and that says something to the character of that group in my eyes.
kieron115@startrek.website 10 months ago
And they are, somehow, still providing regular updates to this day. Looks like their most recent major update was just a few weeks ago.
Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
Made with love, but definitely has its flaws, so don’t know about forever.

All very good games but mind that BG I was released in 1998, IWD two years later. I see some people playing BG I for the first time and then saying stuff like “it is quite dull compared to BGII” but when BG I was first released, I think it was the first isometric computer rpg (in a fantasy setting) ever of that scale (taking into consideration not just the story and the world for which there were probably precedents but also graphics, music, voice acting, npc interactions etc etc). There was fallout I that came out in 1997 (what a golden age for computer games!) but again that is a different context.
I remember the first time I played it as a kid (coming from table top rpgs), I might have peed a little from excitement seeing how detailed the game was. IWD I was more like a small scale repeat of BG I in a different context. So can’t really call that genre defining. Similar story with BG II and IWD II. BG II took style of BG I and built an even grander RPG with more detail in NPC interactions and the world. I don’t think one can even compare IWD II to BG II despite it being a very good game. I am not even sure there has been an isometric game of that scale for the like following 10-20 years after BG II.

Solidly built games, but they lack the player-characters at the center.
They’re great games, pinnacles of the form, but I don’t think they hit the same as Planescape: Torment.
Jedikkeneus@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Has he not heard of Ocarina of Time?
meep_launcher@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I always felt like Breath of the Wild was Lord of the rings animated by studio Ghibli the videogame.
jsomae@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
I feel like BotW has some fundamental design problems with lots of repetitive content, an unsatisfying weapon-breaking system, and of course it lacks dungeons. The dialogue has a lot of words but very little to say. Don’t get me wrong, the open world is breathtaking, but a lot was sacrificed on that altar.
sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
I beat breath of the wild solely because I was holding out hope that it somehow got good at some point.
The dungeons and boss fights were enjoyable. But there were only 4 of those and the rest of the game was sorely underwhelming.
Tears of the kingdom is the first Zelda game I didn’t care to finish in 30 years. I’ve even beat Zelda 2.
pseudonaut@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I only played it for maybe 4 hours. Does it have an epic story? I don’t recall one.
Give me a reason to get a Switch 2 and replay it!
Dasus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The reason for me to play Breath of the Wild was my nostalgia for Ocarina of Time. It’s just impossible to explain to people what wondrous fantasy it was when it came out in the 90’s. An open-world game, 3D, on console, with a joystick, with glorious music? I know you zoomers can read and understand those words, but you genuinely can’t understand the feeling.
The world didn’t have the internet, or games, really. TV had like a few channels. You wouldn’t be able to ever choose what you wanted to watch unless you had a video, and those weren’t too plentiful. If you ever liked a TV-show, then the timeslot of that TV-show made you go watch it at a certain time, or at the least go through telling your mom how to program the VCR for it and hope it gets recorded. Games were mostly just 2D.
And then you load into OOT menu on N64 a year later, and start the story with the FPV camera flying around. It was amazing.

Final fantasy 6 Chrono trigger Capcom vs SNK2 Soul Calibur 2 Super Mario Bros 3
These games all stand tall as giants of excellence decades after their release. Teams have already decent renowned executing at the peak of their genre with true craftsmanship and deep care into their design from mechanics to aesthetics to music to gameplay.
jsomae@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Regarding SMB3, I would recommend the remastered SNES version, part of Super Mario All-Stars.
