Why is this game so good?
>>339575576
Because of Gandalf
>>339575576
It's not good though, a 6/10 at the very best. If you want a decent LotR '''RPG''' try War in the North.
>>339577552
Why the parenthesis?
>>339577552
It was more of a "JRPG", maybe that's why you dislike it.
It was at worst a solid game
>>339578038
Those are quotation marks, friend.
>>339578038
The quotation marks are because War in the North is more an action game with RPG element than an actual RPG.
>>339575576
It was pretty fun to play with a bro in the weird co-op mode.
>>339575576
>traded this away after one playthrough not remembering much of it
>mfw seeing /v/ talk about it afterwards
I don't think I even made use of whatever credit I got it for too
>Fighting the Eye of Sauron
>>339575576
It would have been better were it based on the original story and not some fanfic with OC donutsteels
>>339578038
Not that anon but i guess its because the rpg elements fall rather short while maintaining a satisfying game. Played the fuck out of it couch coop and via system link.
>Go back through Osgiliath sewers to finsh the quests
>Idrial gets into a fight up top by herself
>Can no longer get her back
I can't have been the only one this happens to surely
>>339578678
>No fight with Eomer as a guest party member
He's my favourite character in LotR, and he's never playable
Also what >>339578665 said
How has this game aged? I came this close to booting it up last weekend.
>>339575576
game was good, but the ending was not!
holy hell you literally fight the burning eye of sauron ontop of his tower and the fight was the easiest in die hole game! that ruined everything
>>339579515
I'm playing it right now, I find it fun, but honestly I mainly play older games and JRPGs so, if you like faster paced games, this won't be for you.
>>339575576
Y NO ZIS GAEM IN PC!?
This piece of shit and Shadow of Mordor are the only forms /v/ could ever accept LOTR.
>>339582760
But they're both good games.
>>339582903
Case in point.
>>339582760
I liked the PS2 games for two twoers and rotk, the bfmes were both good too
>>339582760
/v/ is full of teenage GoTfags what do you expect
>>339582760
>PS2 games
>BFME games
>gameboy tactics game
>the mmo
You wot m8
>>339583443
/v/ never really liked those games in any significant way
/v/ in general despises LOTR as a whole, no surprise since the story is the antithesis of what /v/ considers good fiction
>>339583540
This isn't opposite day.
>>339583540
>/v/ never really liked those games in any significant way

What the flying fuck are you babbling about
That's just flat out wrong
>>339575576
I wish more games would copy FFX's battle system. That kind of turn-based is just so good. It's kind of a shame that FF went in a more action-based direction, CTB really deserved to be built on.
>>339583585
>>339583681
Prove me wrong.
>>339583791
Burden of proof is on you bitchboi, swhow us in detail that '/v/' despises LOTR and all those quality games that the board has been talking about for about a decade
Seriously you pulled that shit straight out of your ass what the fuck is wrong with you
>>339583946
There is literally nothing inherent to what Tolkien imparted into the story that /v/ could not despise.
You forget this is the GoT audience.
>>339584093
>make a hypothesis
>can only back it up with muh GoT audience
I've never even watched that show, but this is just pathetic
>>339583946
Can I translate his posts?
>there is a group of hardcore LotR haters on /v/ (like for every series ever), but, since and I think that 4chan boards=hivemind, I will say that group represent the whole board.
>>339583712
I like how FFX let's you swap different characters

Anon, I didn't deny that there is a group of hardcore LotR haters on /v/, I was just pointing out that saying "/v/ hates it" is stupid when there is a large group of fans here as well.
>>339584386
Quality proof anon here let me also have a go

Because you get to play as the bad guys
playing as Balrog fighting gandalf on the bridge was the dopest fucking shit ever.
>>339584386
Most of the negatives in the first page are people complaining about people re-using the orcs, elves, dwarves stereotypes Tolkien popularised, several posts are praising Tolkien.
You sure showed me
>>339584513
Prove it.
>>339586840
Or, you know, you can lurk more.
>>339587056
So in other words you concede.
>>339587094
If that can make you happy, sure.
>>339579296
happened to me, couldnt get a perfect game because of it. Really cheesed me desu.
>>339575576
Because it expans on the story of the movies and the lore surrounding it, while not intruding with them.
Also because they keep the aesthetics spot on, and go to places featured in the books that are not in the movies and places that the movies only touched a little bit.
It's basically an extended version of lotr
