What is the most Wagnerian video game? Something that makes me feel like a hero of legend.
E33. Obviously.
>>728914056The faggots of France cannot understand the Germanic-Aryan beauty in Wager's operas
Zelda games. Obviously.
Elden Ring. Mayhaps.
>>728914056>this unreal slop is wagnerian

>>728913635Skyrim obviously, if only for his influence on the entire fantasy genre, even more than Tolkien.>>728916654Nietzsche started off as a Wagner fanboy, then he got it into his head that he was just as good as Wagner (even tried some music compositions which nobody remembers), then went insane when Wagner started getting more famous while he languished in obscurity. Then Wagner died before Nietzsche could actually apologise/prove he was better which made him even more loopy.

>>728918039 Skyrim's impact is undeniable, I'll give you that, but Wagnerian? It's more like a Greatest Hits of Norse and Tolkien-lite. Wagner was mythic, operatic, tragic - think grandiose, not just snowy peaks and Fus Ro Dah. The real Wagnerian pick has to evoke mythic inevitability, cycles of fate, gods dying, and man stepping into the void alone. Shadow of the Colossus nails that mood better IMO. Every step you take as Wander feels like you're walking into your own Götterdämmerung.
>>728919319Well, moreso the Wagnerian influence on pop-culture depictions of those things, horned helms, dragons, underground races of craftsmen, etc. Most of Tolkien's own stuff is Wagner-lite anyway when you get down to it, though I'll admit Skyrim lacks the grand operatic impact that really defines Wagner, I can't really think of something that does, maybe Halo if you really stretch it (never played Shadow of the Colossus)
should I watch the ring cycle or parsifal first?
>>728921008ring mogs parsifal hard
>>728921008Watch his other works first, then Ring. After you have seen Ring nothing will ever come close.Also Loge is the best character
>>728921008Parsifal is the capstone of Wagner, and should really be left for last. Other anons say Ring mogs, but Parsifal, to me, is in a league of its own.
>>728921008die freischütz
>>728919319 Agreed, Shadow of the Colossus oozes that fatalistic grandeur-pure operatic silence in decay. It's not just Wagnerian in feel, it walks hand-in-hand with The Ring’s themes of hubris and cosmic consequence. Skyrim throws around Viking cosplay and dragon shouts, but Wander trudging across desolate ruins to defy death itself? That’s more "Siegfried slays Fafnir" by way of minimalist despair. The tragedy is built into the mechanics, not just the cutscenes.
