What would be the videogame equivalent of this i.e. something that occurs once in an entire lifetime, made with sincerity and talent?
The book shits all over the movie in 100s of ways. Based on your tastes, you'd probably enjoy nba2k
Metal Gear Solid.
>>743851729Warlords Battlecry
>>743851872damn, he fucking destroyed you OP
>>743851872based on your post, I bet you'd also say the recipe book for pizza than an actual pizza.
>>743851872Nah, the book reads like shit, the Hobbit was better
>>743852049I would. Because I can make a better pizza than any of the delivery slop you can get for convenience. Now, in terms of Lord of The Rings the WB Movie, its missing a ton of content, cut out important characters and fucked up some the most important dialogue from the book. The movie is just made for people that dont like to read or know the details. It's a bunch of pretty scenes tied together by loosely arbitrary dialogue that poorly ties the actual story together. Now move along and play your Call of Duty and Fortnite.
Honestly its a miracle these even were produced when they were. A post 9/11 world could never again hope to achieve something that unified so many people.
>>743852146Wow. First see this post:>>743852307And fuck off with your opinion. The movies are ass. Books were classics, and normies ruined them.
>>743851872BODIED that freak.
>>743852371lotr was always for plebs
>>743852451I'll bite. Name your favorite fantasy novel.
>>743851729skyrim uninronically, but /v/ is too contrarian to accept it
>>743851872I love the movie trilogy.Especially the fellowship movie. The way it starts and the formation of the party made it feel like a nice adventure game because most scenes of it was from the point of view of a single party. It also felt like a tour of the the world. Then the next 2 movies they all split and it becomes a bunch of cuts to different places and different characters.
>>743851729Half Life 2
>>743851729The ghost army was gay and retarded and Hackson is a fraud.Honestly it's hard to compare with video games since game adaptations aren't that common.
>>743852367>Honestly its a miracle these even were produced when they were.The movies being as good as they were was also an accident. Jackson was previously known for making schlock, but he was really good at practical special effects, so he was perfect for making the movies. Then the screenwriters knew how to compress the story well enough while keeping Tolkien's words. And the casting and soundtrack were just perfect. Not to mention that the producers could have forced them to only make two movies, which would have ruined the pacing and editing. Any of these elements failing would have led to disaster.When an ambitious game production goes wrong it usually ends in complete disaster, such as VtM: Bloodlines. Its way easier for things to break down when dealing with software.
>>743852503The one I wrote, in it I bang your mom who is clad in bikini armor while your dad is off fighting a war, it’s called Lord of the Cucks, the main villain has a large dick and is wearing the one cock ring to rule over cucks.
>>743851872The books are great, but the movies are enjoyable too. Quit being a niggerfaggot, you niggerfaggot
>>743852518Skyrim is nowhere near as impressive nor ambitious. It's just Oblivion with all the edges smoothed out.
>>743853009Nice one bro. You seem like a very smart individual with completely unique thoughts.
>>743853061The movie is for low IQ individuals, so it's not super shocking that you'd like it.
>>743853068Nah, it’s mostly degeneracy.
>>743853143Name movies you believe for high IQ individuals such as how you're presenting yourself.
>>743853143You are being a niggerfaggot, you niggerfaggot
>>743853220I'm more of a book person. But sure, I found Forrest Gump better than the novel.
>>743851872Given the nature of film the movies did a respectable job of bringing the written story to the screen for a mass audience. The books are obviously better but the films aren't bad on technical or artistic grounds and do a fair amount of respect to the story.Compare to the Dark Materials series that managed to leave out the entire "overthrowing the false king, God, to institute a Republic of Heaven" plotline, you know, THE ENTIRE OVERALL PLOT OF THE BOOKS, and turning it into a vague romance series with fantasy elementsThe films still emphasize the main point of the books, that good is worth fighting for because it is good, regardless of whether you can realistically win.
>>743852503The Bible.
>>743852146> the original draft that goes up to Moria written as a direct style sequel to The Hobbit with Bingo and Marmaduke
>>743853220The movies are literally schlock tho, even if they capture many of the best moments of the book. They still add a lot of humor and pointless action, while cutting important parts list the Scorching of the Shire. In filmmaking terms they are impressive, but they aren't top 100 films of all time material.
>>743853309>I'm more of a book person Still doesn't answer my question. You dodged it once, I'll ignore that. Everyone has seen movies, even small children have given opinions on movies they consider to be spectacular. I've heard a kid say he likes Ben-Hur so go on...
>>743853143Let me guess, you think Kubrick was skilled.
>>743853456I literally answered your question. I said, since you can't comprehend shit, FORREST GUMP.
>>743853489Swing and a miss.
>>743853489Kubrick is objectively better than Hackson tho.
>>743853327That's not a fantasy novel. It's Science fiction.
>>743853613>aliens are demons tho
>>743851872Fippy
>>743853523>Forrest Gump is high IQ to you and better than the novel Yeah I read that. It just reeks of something an insincere shitposter who spends 99% of his freetime here would say. Like I said actual children could give straighter answers...
>>743851729starcraft
>>743853707You don't have anything to say and are mostly just killing your time with nonsense. You asked a question and got an answer. Have fun playing your Fortnite slop.
>>743851729The real equivalent are the early Baldur's Gate games. They adapted D&D successfully and revolutionized CRPGs to the present day. Also, the games aren't that impressive in a vacuum, just like the movies aren't that impressive if you aren't into big special effects. The difference is that the BG games are dated in many ways, while the LOTR movies still look and sound better than most modern films.
>>743851872HE JUST MURDERED THAT MAN
>>743853661Or could they be something... even MORE out of this world?
>>743853220Debbie does Dallas
>>743853939Demons. They come from outside the universe.
>>743853309"The book is better than the movies because I like books better than movies"That's a worthless take. It has no value and doesn't contribute anything to the conversation. It can be true, but it's just not worth saying.
>>743851971>>743852385>>743853927Samefag. This is the oldest bait in the book for keeping your thread up.
>>743854160That's not why I said the book was better than the movie. I posted my reasoning earlier. Lurk moar.
>>743851729Original Halo trilogy.Zelda BotW/TotKBaldur's Gate IIIRed Dead Redemption IIThese are the types of games that have mass appeal to a general audience, are undeniably good games, and were a perfect storm of development skill in a time and place.
>>743851729It's the Witcher series obviously.
>>743854214Samefagging doesn't bump threads and none of those people are me.
>>743851729I honestly don't think any video game matches the LOTR films for that specific category niche OPThey are two different medias for one. For example how would a meta experience like the individual relative experience of the "playing of a game" match the audio-visual-narrative inferential exposition of watching a film; from the cinematography, costumes, script, lighting, aesthetic, tone, direction, props, and set work to the final overall presentation post-cutting room floor? I don't think you can adequately compare the two without a fair degree of mental gymnastics and quasi-schizophrenic "vibe-type" rhetoric.Explaining this dichotomy using verbal language is already taxing enough
>>743851729super metroid
>>743851729Suikoden 2. >>743852503The Dragons of the Seasons Dragonlance saga.
>>743855286That's not a bad series, not good though, but not bad.
