What went wrong for Middle Earth games after the PS2 era?
I dunno if it was on PS2 but the Return of the King movie game by EA I think that was on Xbox was surprisingly good. That RPG wasn't half bad either.

oops, misread the question.
Maybe because the hype died down from the movies and the MMO was a wow clone when there were too many wow clones coming out.

While tolkein is unrivaled in world building, GRRM is really great at it too, but he's also able to make shit happen in his stories at the same time, there is no fantasy series so short with such a depth to its world, but it feels like everything moves in EXTREME slow motion.

>Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?
>The war that Tolkien wrote about was a war for the fate of civilization and the future of humanity, and that’s become the template. I’m not sure that it’s a good template, though. The Tolkien model led generations of fantasy writers to produce these endless series of dark lords and their evil minions who are all very ugly and wear black clothes. But the vast majority of wars throughout history are not like that.

>'But if you’re going to write about war, and you just want to include all the cool battles and heroes killing a lot of orcs and things like that and you don’t portray [sexual violence], then there’s something fundamentally dishonest about that.

Is this fat fuck serious or just taking the piss?
>>337196374
serious about what? the fact his books are a deconstruction of the fantasy novel? about medieval wartime rape? I'm not quite sure what you are so angry about.
>>337196617
As expected of a GoT pleb, you wouldn't get it would you.

>there are people in this world that unironically look down on LOTR because no gritty, politically and sociologically deep story
>You will never fight and die at the battle of Unnumbered Tears.

Just because GoT is a more interesting and well thought out story than LoTR doesn't mean you have to defend it at every turn :^)

I'm not talking about you and your poor excuse for a bait. It just makes me scratch my head how a lot of people genuinely think like that, and feel smart doing it.
It's embarassing.
