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:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

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

A lot of good suggestions but my first thought was Final Fantasy X.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

Undertale.

Morrowind ?

Terraria, amazing game that is still supported to this day, best 5€ I've spend on a game.

[–] Transtronaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

red dead redemption 2 is missing from a lot of these

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Im...not sure we played the same Red Dead Redemption 2.

[–] kogasa@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I agree with them, that game is a masterpiece. Didn't you love it?

I'd argue there isn't one. Not on the scale of LotR. It cannot be overstated how unlikely it was that it happened the way it did.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

World of Warcraft was a LOTR moment for me, thousands of hours of different content in a fantastic world. The extensions killed it ofc.

Half-life.

[–] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah this is it for me. Half Life was such a technical marvel and a step change in story telling through gaming.

I always felt like Breath of the Wild was Lord of the rings animated by studio Ghibli the videogame.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day 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.

Made with love, but definitely has its flaws, so don't know about forever.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Half-Life/Half-Life 2
The original Fallout
The original Doom
Brutal Doom (the campaign)
Star Control 2 (The Ur'Quan Masters fan-made modernized version)
The Neverhood
Subnautica (not Below Zer0)
Duke Nukem 3D
Total Annihilation
Megaman (the first one)
Megaman X (the first one)
Team Fortress 2
Portal 2

This is by no means an all inclusive list. These are just games that I personally played that fit the criteria.
