Thread 715048232

>Shawshank Redemption is rated #1 on the imdb top 250 movies of all time.
>Popular consensus isn't that it's the best movie ever made, or the most popular, but that it's there because it's so universally acknowledged as good, it generally never gets negative reactions
>Effectively, it's the safest broadest pick for "best movie ever" not because the most people would agree, but because the least people would disagree - most people would call it a 'fair argument'
Taking that into account, what's the Shawshank Redemption of video games?

Minecraft

>>715048232 (OP)
Ocarina of Time

Minecraft is fucking terrible though

What is the best movie?

>>715049048
The Thing

>>715048232 (OP)
The closest thing to the imdb top250 for games is probably metacritic - going by that the answer is ocarina of time
but that would put soul calibur in the number 2 slot, so....

>>715048232 (OP)
Warcraft 3

Ocarina of Time

>>715049048
I like Back to the Future desu

>>715048232 (OP)
but shawshank redemption is the best movie ever made.

Shut the fuck up. OoT isn't even the best game in its own series.

>>715049048
Did you read the OP? 'best' is too subjective, there is no best movie just like there is no best game

>>715049087
But metacritic is taking critic reviews and weighting them with an unknown formula. The site comparable to IMDb’s user submitted reviews is hltb which has Expedition 33 as the best game.

>>715049310
You say this but Austin Powers exist.

>>715049318
I guess metacritic is more like the rottentomatoes of games
hltb is nothing like imdb though, especially if fucking E33 is the best game of all time, that's beyond sad
annoyingly there is a IGDB but it's absolutely nothing like imdb

this crap? best movie? overrated af. c'mon b-side plot right there go see some Pasolini delusional mutt

Shawshank Redemption is actually my favourite movie of all time, I didn't know it broadly held that reception. Watched it for the first time in 2020 on blueray at home. Hope being a key theme of the movie is something that I have struggled with before so that surely made it resonate a lot for me. Do you guys like it?

>>715049048
Can't be a film that someone didn't like

>>715048232 (OP)
Is this trolling? I swear I've literally never heard of this film.

>>715048232 (OP)
Shawshank is a good movie. Not my favorite but it's a solid, good, well executed story.

>>715048232 (OP)
I watched Escape from Alcatraz and it's the same exact film. King really is a hack.

>>715052095
Watch it sometime, it's pretty good. It's no Kung Pow, but it's good.

>>715052196
Yes yes and Lion King ripped off Kimba, we knooow. Eesh.

>>715054520
>it never was anything special
It was, though.
Half-Life 2's acclaim is intrisincally tied to the time it was made.

>>715054650
The same could be said for any game that was massive on release. What Half-Life is mainly recognized for now is the cancerous in-engine "cutscenes" where you stand around while someone blabbers at you, and you can't skip what's going on.

>>715054813
Anon, you should play some games from that era to understand how massive both half lifes were.

>>715048232 (OP)
Better question could a Shawshank redemption videogame work? What kind of videogame would it be?

>>715048232 (OP)
OoT or Tetris
nobody claims OoT has the best combat of all times or graphics or story. It just does so well being the first grand adventure. Even though its a product of its time you can still see why its so beloved

>>715053248
>150 minutes
lmao

>>715054520
I used to think Half Life 2 was super overrated, I mean, it couldn't possibly be THAT good, right? but then I actually played it myself and it turns out that it really is fucking good.

>>715054915
This is the problem with most of /v/ to be honest - zoomies have no experience, context or frame-of-reference to understand what actually makes a game good. Raised on fucking mobile slop so they think gacha is acceptable. Fuck I hate zoomies.

>>715048771
I thought about Mario 64 and Super Mario World but there are too many Mario haters out there.

This is literally the only pick that comes to mind where I have never heard an actual negative comment about a game. Everyone and their mom loves Tetris

To me, it's Home Alone 2. Objectively, the one that comes closest is probably Ben Hur

There is no Shawshank Redemption for games because gamers are obnoxious and can't reach a consensus.

Also i think Shawshank Redemption is overrated as fuck.

>>715055372
jesus christ what the fuck is this list

>>715049048
I mean this fully unironically; I have never seen any of the movies mentioned in the replies (besides The Thing).

>>715055372
A lot of good movies there, shame you included 2001, literally the most overrated movie of all time, kinda singles you out as a fraud and delegitimises everything else you've said.

The best film is Minecraft: the Movie
And the best game is Minecraft: the Movie: the Game which is the game spinoff based on the movie based of the game

>>715055568
>best movie is Sonic
>best game is Scarface

>>715048232 (OP)
Shawshank is pretty basic as a work of art in the cinema medium, i have no idea how it is considered this good.

If this was truly the best film i'd quit watching films long time ago, thankfully its not even the best film of 1994. I always felt its the pick for tasteless casuals who don't take the medium seriously. and in this sense the equivalent of this overrated slop is Reddit Dead Redemption 2 a game that is praised only and exclusively by casuals who played a total of 20 games in their life

>>715051630
Yeah? You're proving the point. It can't have universal acclaim because the subject matter is inherently awful and negro oriented. Not everyone wants to spend their time looking at the products of the moral rot of a society.

>>715055372
Persona has a hollywood adaptation? Nice

>>715055383
i'd like to see what games /tv/ plays. i'd imagine its all boomer shooters and old rpgs

>>715055358

>>715055549
Its the goated films list, although i would personally add like 25 more, since i watched more than 1k films, so i have more films to include. I think i should expand this list soon.
Meanwhile this is my list for games.

>>715055358
This has to be a bait list surely
>GOAT media is last of us, big hero 6, cobra fucking kai, and a few tweener books
>How to train your dragon is literally life-changing
I could go on but fuck me I think I'm about to have a stroke

>>715055745
I think its the best western film alongside The dollars, but i favor it because its cinematography is superior.

>>715055561
kek, my thought. Why can most people only parrot popular opinions?
This list lacks any edge, super safe choice of movies.

2001 is boring as hells sure it has some neat ideas, but that doesn't change the fact that most of the movie is a snorefest. I can understand that it was a product of its time, meaning nobody here has seen at release.

>>715055372
The Prestige and Se7en are kinda shite

also capeshit are not real movies

>>715054915
>>715055051
I'm 37. I hated Half-Life on release and still do. No character is interesting, the guns feel limp, the environment aesthetic is Playstation-slop tier, the driving in Half-Life 2 drags on far too much.

Again, the only thing Half-Life is now remembered for in terms of what it standardized in the industry is being locked in a room with some no-name NPC you can't escape from until the dialogue is done. Frankly, infinitely more damaging to the medium than anything Halo did. Two weapon limits and regenerating health have become optional choices in todays shooters. Standing there like a fucking lemon while you get blabbed at for ten minutes plagues every story game even today.

Your credibility goes down to zero when you say this.

inclined to agrew with this moreso because of how downstream gaming became from valve’s success with both the games and the source engine.

Just so other anons are aware, this guy is so deeply traumatised by his deep-rooted homosexuality that he lashes out at BG3. I think he's afraid it'll awaken his inner faggot, which is funny because every comment he makes just reveals him as the gayest of gay retards

>>715049048
I've never seen it in its entirety but some Jackie Chan movie had a really kickass fight scene so that one

>>715056640
Given your complete lack of knowledge on the subject, probably Rumble in the Bronx

>>715056393
That guy is older than me (34) and I also played Half-Life on release. Do you really think people don't start playing video games before age 12?

I don't really care for the game either.

>>715056440
Why are you lashing out? You have to admit that your taste looks like the taste of someone who is pretending that he watches a lot of films.

>>715056562
Watched it, pretty boring revenge story, and while i liked the acting the cinematography was meh and bland.
Honestly i think Clint films lack the artistic merit, they are human and he tends to send some good messages, but to me cinema should lean more to art rather than just tell basic stories, this is also why shawshank will never make it top my top films, i will take a film like Blade Runner which has some plot inconsistencies over something like Shawshank any day of the week.

Honestly i think most of you here are idiots with bad taste, sorry!

>>715056640
Jackie Chan movie with kickass fight scene?
Did you mean the Karate Kid? Yeah that's an epic one

Every time. Apparently incomprehensible that people wouldn't universally love a very boring shooter.

My first video game was Secret of Monkey Island by the way. I was playing games by the time I was 3. It's one of my first memories alongside puking bananas because I scoffed too many.

I'm the antichrist, did you know?

Blade Runner 2049 is the only movie I actually remember watching in the last 10 years

>>715057354
I liked the Original a lot more, it felt more atmospheric and much more memorable. I thought it was nostalgia but then i rewatched it after 2049 and it confirms it.

>>715058064
The original is more iconic but K had a much better character arc.

>>715054520
>Now less so, because people are realizing that it never was anything special
I'd say Half Life 2 might have one of the best settings in any video game ever.

The Seventh Seal.

>>715063228
I'd say yes. The film went more in-depth with its characters in unflattering scenes. And the infamous French Plantation served as a reminder to how the war originally started, something most Vietnam movies don't bother with.

Common criticism of the redux version is how it slows down the pace, but I think their descent into madness and the final act were in need of more buildup to signify the journey.

>>715049048
Pic related is the recommendation of the goated taste. It was made 30 years ago but not many movies since then could pretend to be in there. Arguably it's missing a few action movies (say Predator).

There are exceptions, however. The Running Man was shit. Pretty disappointing that lots of his best stories never made it to movies, like Road Work and The Long Walk.

What is so amazing about it for the time? The physics that everyone glazes is just the licensed havok physics engine which was better used in Psi-Ops except that game ran on a damn PS2 and predates HL2.

>>715067287
in many aspects modern game studios cant make a better product
they fail to match atmosphere, the setting, the character designs, the LIPSYNC, the voice acting, the gameplay loop going to a new interesting thing the entire game.
Everything you look at in the game broadcasts thought behind every decision. There isn't any part that makes you go "well that was done by an intern from india", nothing looks visually hideous. It was heavily playtested and revamped throughout development, bad parts were cut or changed to work better. They assumed nothing, every aspect was in contention. The storys script was made to fit the gameplay and level design, it wasnt made beforehand.

Then you can imagine the availability of tools that existed at the time and how they had geniuses to make the tools themselves, and have geniuses implement them better than rest of the industry at the time.

>>715055998
>the best western film
For me, it's Tombstone. God what a good movie with great dialog. If nothing else it's the best western movie outside the golden age of westerns but I think it tops them all.

Everyone likes it. I'm usually a /tv/ fag. It has it's place because exactly of what OP said. Nearly everyone thinks it's very good, nearly no one thinks it's bad. Furthermore if you look at the execution of the various departments (be it cinematography or writing or production design) it's a case of every one of them landing a 7/10. There are no weak points, even if there are no individial 10/10 points. I have no idea what game fits that mold.
