    Obviously, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Mainly movies for me because I haven’t read them. Extended editions, obviously.

    But also, I adore the mass effect trilogy. Yeah, the rpg elements get gradually watered down, and the third ones ending isn’t the best, but it’s still an absolutely amazing Trilogy that I replay yearly. And it all came out in 5 years! Nowadays, single games have 5 years of dev time, at least. In my eyes, it’s as perfect as it can be…Once it’s been modded a bit.

      Do yourself a favor and read the books

      The movies are fine, they are top notch, but the books are from another fuckin world

          I almost brought up the shield surfing 🙂. I decided not to. There were some little warts like that, and “I am no man” and etc, but overall the movies are awesome + about as faithful as you can get without making it into a miniseries that spans decades of production or something.

          You’ve got be joking right? The most influential, most loved, most well regarded fantasy trilogy of all time is not a good story actually? I get that it wasn’t your style for whatever reason but to call it bad storytelling is just asinine.

      Literally my first thought was “obviously, lord of the rings”. Opening the comments and seeing those exact words was strangely satisfying.

      There’s a podcast somewhere where a guy narrates uses amazing voice acting and music to deliver the story and it’s an absolute banger of a trilogy. One of the most magical experiences I’ve had. It’s like watching the movies but longer, better paced and way more emotional connection to the characters.

      The movies don’t say what the people are thinking and the actors did a phenomenal job to convey it, but the book explicitly saying it is better.

        You could say Portal Revolution is the third game (it’s free direct from Steam, and while not wildly unique it will still have you scratch your noodle until you realize how obvious it is).

        So I vote Portal in that case.

        It kind of falls out of there, being released out of order, and being VR-exclusive.

    How to Train Your Dragon Trilogy.

    I watched the first one on a ferry, and just hearing the title made me think it was going to be some nonsense. And then it was amazing.

    Then they announced a second, and I was thinking what do they expect to do with this and then they gave something intensely heartwarming and heart wrenching. I found it better and deeper than the first.

    And then the third. I don’t think it was as clean as the other two, but it closed it off so beautifully I was bawling at the end. Absolutely perfect.

      Also, apparently it has an animated cartoon series. Just learned about that the other day

        Animated series plus you could consider the Telltale Games BttF the fourth movie, as it was written by Gale and has most of the cast. (MJF makes a cameo, Biff’s actor said his agent never contacted him)

      Definitely not. I’m a huge fan of the originals since I was a kid, but there’s no way Return of the Jedi finished out a perfect trilogy. No way. Not even close.

      EDIT: It’s by far my favorite, no other trilogy comes close for me. But it is not perfect.

    The Phoenix Wright trilogy–the first three original GBA games/DS re-releases. They set up and develop so many arcs that pay off both within each game and across the entire trilogy. I would even go so far as to say that Phoenix Wright 3 is one of the best visual novel games of all time.

      And the story is only one of many great things! The game art is gorgeous and the soundtrack is full of bangers that serve their purpose well to complement the story.

      I love Ace Attorney.

      I will argue House in Fata Morgana is the best visual novel of all time.

      But then I will argue the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles 2 cases 3-5 are the greatest (hoo wee what a ride). If you can get through the slow pace of the rest of it it’s worth it.

      Otherwise I’ll agree the Phoenix Wright trilogy is the ultimate power fantasy of seeing people in high places actually getting convicted of their crimes.

        To add my own take, I think Umineko is actually the greatest visual novel. But DGS2 is a respectable choice.

    Assassin’s Creed 2, Brotherhood and Revelations aka the Ezio trilogy. I remember playing it when I was quite young and the parkour elements blew my mind. Ezio was a very charismatic character and these games were imo the best Assassin’s Creed games, before Ubisoft went to shit and started churning them out every other year.

    The mass effect trilogy. Yeah, shut up, the ending is great. NEVER had a problem with it. It’s a videogame, really expecting that the ending will take into account all the decisions over 100 hours of gameplay and dialogue and give you a very personal ending for you is lunacy. Even real life doesn’t work like that. The 3 endings with slight variations depending of your war assets was more than enough for me.

        I think it’s debated a lot but from what I remember it’s because the sky is a big empty space, the Eagles are sentient and do what they want, the nazgul patrol the sky and dead kings sense the ring. Sauron has an eye that is ever watching. It would’ve been too dangerous and risky to lose the ring for the Eagles while the enemy still lived.

          Yeah, flying in after the evil is absurdly weakened is pretty obviously not the same as flying through controlled airspace.

          I can’t stand the movies though. They’re like cliff notes of cliff notes of the story.

          This is such a simple and succinct explanation. I’m fully satisfied with this and feel like no other explanation is required.
