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.

Deus Ex, if you ignore that it really is ugly as sin. Sounds amazing! Plays beautifully! But yeesh, Unreal Engine 1 humans.

Most immersive sims are arguably in the same boat. The people involved had enormous ideas. As commercial products, they were woefully underappreciated, until years later. And quite frankly they do look like shit compared to much simpler contemporaries. Some NoClip documentary about Looking Glass could show a major artist had muscular dystrophy that makes his shoulders work wrong, and I'd be like, oh, that explains things.

Anyone know if there's a videogame trilogy of the same calibre?

Edit: Thanks guys!

Future Cop: LAPD for the ps1!

Oh that was fun! I got the demo with a graphics card back in the day. Would never have heard of it otherwise.

My sister and I used to play this when we were kids in co-op and competitive mode and it was a blast! Probably one of our first videogames and it was kind of "Our game." I just recently found out it was made by the same guys that made jungle strike and desert strike back in the nineties and I've been itching to play it again.

This game has so much nostalgia for me. It was the go to game because it had split screen.

Braid and Ocarina of Time are the two that come to my mind...

Wonder if he's played the PS2 LotR games, they were good

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I mean, they were definitely enjoyable. But I’m unsure if they meet the qualities of OPs post lol
