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
After watching the movies, I can't read the books any more. Tolkien was many things, he's great at world building and mythology, but storytelling is not among his greatest qualities.
I'm with you on this one.
Also, brackets in speech.
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.
Is there anything else you'd like to insinuate I said that I didn't actually say?
Literally my first thought was “obviously, lord of the rings”. Opening the comments and seeing those exact words was strangely satisfying.
Video games, Movies, Books
It has 3 solid GameCube games
It has 3 soild movies
It has 3 solid books
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.
