Will we ever get a good LOTR game ever again?
>>335991462
Uhh guy?
>>335991462
>again
I'll admit I enjoyed Two Towers and RotK on my ps2 but you can't really say they were good games. Shadow of Mordor and that pandemic Battlefront clone were decent but have we ever really had a GOOD LotR game?
>>335991638
Battle for middle earth ?
The third age ?
I'd kill for a big scale LOTR RPG
>>335991638
Went back and played RotK a week ago and it was damn good. So yes, I can say it is a good game
>>335991638
>>335991758
>what is lotro
apart from a dead old piece of shit it was kinda ok
>>335991462
Remember "the white council"? An open world RPG similar to TES series. It was cancelled.
>>335991758
>>335991771
Forgot about the Battle for middle earth games. I stand corrected.
Third age is formulaic unoriginal shit though. I'm not surprised /v/ loves it because it ticks off all the /v/ boxes for unanimous praise
>Critically panned at release
>Over 10 years old
>most people haven't heard of it
>>335992076
I think people like that game because it's a LOTR JRPG and also because it goes completely off the rails where the devs didn't give a shit about the story anymore so it's like watching an insane trainwreck
>>335992127
I figured it was just good old contrarian /v/
Although my opinion might not mean much because I thought this game was the shit. In my defense, I was 10 when I played it, but I would kill for an HD remaster of this.
What kind of game would you make if you had AAA resources?
>>335991638
battle for middle earth, battle for middle earth 2+ rise of the bitch king
The 2 towers and RotK console games were good hack n slashes
They also had equally good GBA games.
And no, we well never get a good game because some shitbag company holds the license and wont do anything with it.
>>335992505
Is it WB? All they ever fucking use is the two button fighting system
>>335991638
Return of the King, Battle for Middle Earth and BfME 2, Third Age
Hopefully someone will make a quality mod for Bannerlord when it comes out
>>335992305
That was a good game.
>>335993289
Mentioned RotK in the post you're replying to, admitted BFME was good here >>335992076
and third age is overrated garbage that only /v/ likes
>>335991462
I just took a break from playing War in the North.
>>335992354
I'd make a kind of hybrid between The Witcher 3 and The Banner Saga. LotR is as much about the journey as anything else, so probably something to do with a caravan of people being forced to flee their homes during the war of the ring.
>>335993413
>and third age is overrated garbage that only /v/ likes
That's just like, your opinion man.
>>335993892
more like objective truth. Debate me senpai
>tfw still no First Age RPG where you can bang hot elven maidens, be bros with dwarves and kill balrogs with an axe to the face
why live
>>335991462
PS2 era is over so no
>parry like fifty arrows at a time
>go around killing uruk-hai in one hit
LOTR hack n slash games were alright
>>335991462
Why does Ned Stark have a horn? I don't remember this from the show.
>>335992305
I Remember that I beat this game in one weekend. Then I went to a friend's house and he was stuck on a level and I said "Oh I can help you"
Then I couldn't get pass that goddamn level.
>>335992354
Id make a fucking epic LOTR game where it has the same pacing gore and combat (but far more advanced and improved) as shadow warrior. Shit would be so sick slicing orcs in half in first person while defending Helms deep
>>335995021
It's the Horn of Winter and it's supposed to bring down the wall or awaken the sleeping giants or something.
>>335995021
I don't remember telling you to stop sucking my cock
>>335992354
LotR + Musou
I don't give a fuck

Shire Simulator 2016

>>335992127
>>335993892
I thought it was amazing when I played it in my early teens. But then I was just getting into jrpgs and turn-based battle systems, so it basically hit all my buttons at the time.
Recently whenever I tried replaying it, I found it to be kinda boring.

No mans elder scroll: Call of Five nights at Home
A proceduraly generated FPS-RPG with combat mechanics that have COD design and Elder Scroll balance, scripted cinematic blocks every 2 mins and where your main goal is to do as many fetch quests as possible while you listen to the narator of the story thats written by a womens studies graduate, who also happens to be a otherkin
.. oh and the graphics are low-poly pixel art
whatever that means
>>335991758
>ffx reskin with literally whos
>good
>>335995583
Animal crossing without having to owe people money and adding more to the comfort level in the coding?
>>335995381
sorry family
For what its worth Shadow of Mordor had some pretty neat ideas with the orc politics gimmick. If it was more fleshed out and the combat system wasn't completely braindead Batman/Asscreed it would have been GOAT. Maybe the inevitable sequel will be better.
For a licensed game it could have been much much worse.

I'll never forget punching Sauron in his nonexistent face.

>peter jackson done milking the hobbit
>silmarillion movie lolnever
>not really any more source material
Unlikely, there's nothing for the games to piggy back off so studio execs won't see the value in greenlighting. Instead it's going to beEA'sstar wars for the next 4-5 years.
Best Lord of the Rings game coming right through.
>>335996876
Why are the orc faces better textured and modeled than any of the actual protagonists?
>>335996995
C'mon, it's 2002. Deus Ex had also shit face-textures, arguably even worse.
>>335995381
bit rude lad
>>335996876
Oh man, this game. I tried reinstalling recently, but it wouldn't start no matter what I did. So disappointed.
>>335997062
Just seems like there's a big difference in quality between them is all. The orcs actually look pretty good which is why it seems odd compared to the main character's faces.
Guess it's easier to make an ugly monster face look well done than a regular human face.
>>335996876
Why does Aragon look like Alan Rickman? Why does Legolas look like Max von Sydow in a wig?
>>335998231
>LMAO I made the joke again xD
upvoted
>>335996876
Remember that one. Also remember that it stuck more to the books than almost 90% of all LOTR games.
>>335996876
Good atmosphere and music, lame gameplay
>>335998651
again? Never seen that joke made before you fucking autist.
>>335991521
>doesn't know who Sean mother fucking Bean is
>>335996876
Had it for PS2. Good times.
>that one part where Tom Bombadil saves you with his songs
>>335996876
Was that the one where you could stick a dozen arrows into Frodo's head as Aragorn?

hobbit cRPG adventure game
Remember that Warner Bros forced those modders to cancel the Elder Scrolls MERP mod just before announcing Shadow of Shitdor. I am still mod.
>heh as if it'd have been good anyways
Fuck you they put years of work into it. It deserved a chance.
>>335992354
The Silmarillion, by Platinum
>>335996876
That game was action adventure in the true sense of the word. Subsequent titles, although great, were action games first and foremost. Amazing co-op action.
>>336001280
yeah that was bullshit. I don't understand how they could shut down a fucking mod in a bethesda game.
