Does Sonic Adventure count? I literally started over on that game recently.

Corno ,

With you on this one! The Sonic Adventure games are what come to mind when I think of 3D Sonic. The gameplay of the boost games doesn’t appeal to me nearly as much as the physics based movement of the Adventure games!

VanHalbgott ,

Here are the baby Chaos that I’m raising in Station Square in Adventure mode.

Still can’t upload them to a VMU though.

Ahhh the Chao! I spent so many hours in the Chao gardens, so relaxing and fun! What types are you gonna make em?

Game: Super Mario Galaxy Book: The Rama series, Arthur C Clarke TV: The West Wing Movie: The 5th Element

Badabinski ,

It makes me happy to see Rama mentioned here! I read the first book in the series when I was 8 or 9, and it's what really hooked me on science fiction. Like, I had to read it with a dictionary open because some of the language was way too technical for me, but I was absolutely enthralled.

icerunner_origin ,

Other people who’ve read it and who I’ve talked with seem to be split over whether the first book is better than the sequels, or the other way around. I prefer the sequels, my wife prefers the original. Do you have a preference?

Badabinski ,

As a child, I greatly preferred the original. A lot of the emotional subtext from the sequels went over my head (since I was raised in a very emotionally repressed environment), but I could totally grok the cold, somewhat impersonal nature of the first book. It was easier to imagine myself in this huge alien structure when I could understand the characters. Nowadays I think I'd probably prefer the sequels since I derive a lot of enjoyment from interpersonal drama and conflict. I'll admit that it's been ages since I've read them, so I can't say for sure.

Game:

GoldenEye 007, but I want it to be in 1997 playing on the 27" CRT TV in the basement with my brother. Technically, it was my N64, so I always got to use the gold controller that it came with. We sat on the carpet within feet of the giant wooden TV cabinet, because the cords weren’t very long. My dad was a carpenter and only recently refinished the basement with tongue and groove cedar. I still remember the smell of the wood and the sound of the furnace clicking on down there. He even cut a crescent moon into the bathroom door as if it were an outhouse.

We liked to play Golden Gun in the temple. We even made up our own games within the game, like hide and seek. Back then he was my best friend. He made some life choices that were different from mine. We were never as close as when we played that game. We’re not in a bad spot or anything, but those days now just memories.

Game: Noita
Book: The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks (RIP, you deserved more time)
TV show: Cowboy Bebop, I think
Movie: Honestly, I can't think of one.

In order of priority, I'd put The Player of Games at the top by a wide margin (seriously, it's an amazing book by a brilliant author), followed by Noita, with Cowboy Bebop at the end.

Oh man, Ultima Underworld was mind-blowing in its time.

@EleventhHour@lemmy.world avatar

The sequel was pretty good too. They’re both on GOG, btw, And have aged pretty well. The graphics aren’t so good, but the story and gameplay are still pretty great. I still replay them (and the Myst games) from time to time.

Davel23 ,

Oh, I played them both. I didn't really care for II's splitting the game into 8 "worlds", I preferred the original's single huge dungeon, but I did enjoy it.

EleventhHour ,
@EleventhHour@lemmy.world avatar

It did get annoying having to run back and forth through all of the worlds, but some were very cool, like the one with the fighting arenas. And the tomb with all the levels. And the story was awesome.

callouscomic ,

Metal Gear Solid 3.

I played overnight, alone in the dark, and it thunderstorms that night around the time I reached The Sorrow. Nothing else has been more memorable.
