Dark City "A man struggles with memories of his past, which includes a wife he cannot remember, and a nightmarish world without a sun" Ross's Game Dungeon: TrackMania² Canyon "A man struggles with memories of his past, which includes graphics he cannot remember, and a nightmarish world without shadows"
"We're very concerned about people pirating our games" says the industry that kneecaps their own games and puts road blocks in front of the paying customer.
What I love about this particular game dungeon is that Ross is right when he says you can quit the video after he summarizes it in the first 5 minutes. You could just leave and go buy the game for the price of a sandwich. What makes the rest of this game dungeon special is the fact that Ross just goes to town with very minor aspects of trackmania 2. In this 50 minute video, Ross spends only about 15 minutes talking about the main game. The rest is an apocalypse theory, a graphics scandal, and reviewing the other trackmania games. Very little is said about the gameplay at all, and it’s mostly just talking about very small details and digging so far into them he makes what should be an extremely short review into almost an hour of talking. This is why I love this game dungeon episode. It’s also why I love and constantly rewatch the super cult tycoon episode, where Ross shows off his extreme knowledge of cult running. Ross talking at length about random things is my 2nd favorite way to kill time, and it’s extremely entertaining for a boring day.
The actual plot of this game is that there's a general AI in charge of a deep learning AI trying to perfect a self driving race car neural net, and as the neural net approaches a certain point it makes less and less progress, so another neural net is made to build more and more ridiculous tracks to keep the car's AI fed with fresh data and challenges. This all spirals out of control and the humans that made the AI attempt to shut it down, but the AI has figured out that the humans are going to shut it down so instead it exterminates the entire human race so it can perpetually build racetracks and race cars on them forever.
