Will there ever be another good LOTR game?
Also,LOTR Thread
Probably, eventually. Still no real Lotr RPG has been made for some reason. Might be cool.
Shadow of mordor was... mediocre. But it wasnt a lotr game
>>332294916
>Probably, eventually. Still no real Lotr RPG has been made for some reason. Might be cool.
What about LOTR: The Third Age?
It had problems because it ended up getting rushed, but it had some seriously cool shit in it.
>>332295093
I liked the nemesis system. Kept me entertained a while.
>>332295161
I'm talking real RPG, not shitty Final Fantasy remake. I am talking full party of adventurers, lots of dialogue, lots of traveling etc. Like Baldur's Gate kind of. The setting is pretty much made for a deep RPG but nothing has been made yet.
>>332294916
War in the North, while not a proper RPG, still gave me tons of fun. Felt like I was playing Dark Alliance again.
>>332295258
It was amusing I guess but still too simple.
Nothing fun about playing a game when you know what will happen afterwards anyways. How people can find a universe already predetermined what will happen in the future, fun, I'll never understand.
>>332295163
yeah that was what made the game special in some way.
>>332295428
>poopyface
is this a serious insult adults use now?
>>332295359
Lol? The game could simply be about something within the universe that doesn't completely pertain towards the original story?

List of great LOTR games
>Fellowship of the Ring (yes I'm serious, try it out)
>Two Towers
>Return of the King
>The Third Age
>Battle For Middle-Earth 1/2
>War In the North (yes, it's also awesome.)
Am I missing any?
>>332298769
The Fellowship of the Ring was absolutely god-tier and I cried in a few places. Both the Two Towers and Return of the King felt a little too fast paced for me, and I actually liked the movie versions more.
At the hill's foot Frodo found Aragorn, standing still and silent as a tree; but in his hand was a small golden bloom of elanor, and a light was in his eyes. He was wrapped in some fair memory: and as Frodo looked at him he knew that he beheld things as they once had been in this same place. For the grim years were removed from the face of Aragorn, and he seemed clothed in white, a young lord tall and fair; and he spoke words in the Elvish tongue to one whom Frodo could not see. "Arwen vanimelda, namári!" he said, and then he drew a breath, and returning out of his thought he looked at Frodo and smiled.
"Here is the heart of Elvendom on earth," he said, "and here my heart dwells ever, unless there be a light beyond the dark roads that we still must tread, you and I. Come with me!" And taking Frodo's hand in his, he left the hill of Cerin Amroth and came there never again as living man.

Lego LOTR was pretty good from what I remember
>>332294846
Hey thanks for reminding me OP, I need to marathon the LOTR Extended Edition boxset again.
>>332294846
there will never be another battle for middle earth
>>332300104
That was very good. It was pretty cool being able to walk from The Shire to Mordor
>>332300104
i really wanted to like it but i couldn't. i guess im not much on puzzle/platforming.
Am I the only one who enjoyed playing this?
>>332300856
No, I loved it and have beaten it three times.
>>332300856
how is the single player? a lot of people say it's shit and is only worth playing with friends.
This shit was too fun
I liked Shadow of Mordor.
Being an immortal spirit of vengeance was cash. But it was kind of too easy to slaughter normal orcs and certain combinations of the warlords/ranked orcs was bullshit. Looking at you Mr immune to ranged, immune to melee, immune to stealth niggers, with a big ass tower shield that can't be broken.
>>332300856
i would like to play it but for some fucking reason it runs at 5 frames, just like the darkness 2, some day these 2 games just stop working
>>332295093
If they wanted crazy magic stuff they could just place the game in the 1st age. But nooo,this faggots need to have Sauron and the Rings of Power
>>332296435
One day someone will make this in a game similar to Dark Souls + Baldur's Gate + TES.
Or not.
>tfw no first age game
>will never find Gondolin just before its fall after getting lost in the mountains
>will never ride into battle with a massive army at your back ending in a terrifying pyrrhic victory against the armies of Morgoth
>>332301001
It's not exactly the greatest game ever made and it's a bit repetitive and confusing at times but if you enjoy the setting it's definitely worth a play. The city hubs like Lothlorien are comfy and good to explore and have conversations with the characters as they will tell you stories.
Online coop play is always better than playing it alone.
>>332302297
so much this, the universo of lotr is huge, but developers always want to make the same shit over and over again.
>>332302395
You're now realizing you would have to stoop like Gandalf just to fit in this tiny fucking 4 foot high room.
Unless you're a midget or something.
>>332302985
It's because casuals know nothing about the Middle Earth setting and only know about the Third Age/War of the Ring so devs and their execs want to play it safe.
>tfw friend of mine actually prefers the Hobbit trilogy over LOTR movies
>>332294846
>Battle of middel earth had good working units that could merge and good building workarounds
>Battle of middel earth 2 had custom heros, alot of new units, races and diffrent ways you could play the races. they also upgraded the power tree

>>332298517
Hope for Alzheimer's, bud.
>>332295161
I remember playing that on the ps2, I know what you mean about rushed but it was really good. they experimented with a few things and it was interesting, but ultimately a bit too much like final fantasy
The Lego Hobbit game was pretty good for what it was
Though for some weird reason it doesn't cover the third movie and they canned the DLC that was going to.
>>332301238
It was.
I wanted to play it again not too long ago only to see that EA shut down the servers. Fucking faggots, the game isn't even that old.
The multiplayer was hilariously unbalanced, archers could literally oneshot everything.
>>332304147
It's a goddamn tragedy. So much potential.
>tfw no children of hurin rpg
>tfw no fall of numenor game where you have to stealth your way out of the island as elendil
>>332305624
i yawn at that image
i cant appreciate it like other can
nice to know someone was happy because of it
bfme 2 was the best lotr game
>>332295161
>final boss is literally SAURON'S EYE
it was so bad but I still love that game
>>332305624
Woah.
That's pretty amazing.
>>332305624
I don't believe this much detail went into movie. Legolas' smile is just a coincidence.
>>332307093
i dont belive it too, but still it fits nicely
>>332307093
>I don't believe this much detail went into movie. Legolas' smile is just a coincidence.
What's neat is that this awesome little detail is never stated in the LOTR books nor in anything Tolkien published in his lifetime. The significance of this seemingly minor detail only came up years after Tolkien's death when his son published The Silmarillion.
>>332296435
Damn I love me a good well done fantasy landscape, why is this kind of shit not in more vidya games?
>>332298201
But there was a woman in that scene charging and yelling just like all the men.
>>332307683
I doubt this is what woman would think about in the shower though.
>>332307093
I dunno. Christopher Lee and Magneto were both huge dicks about details like that while on the set.
>>332295163
For a first attempt, I thought the nemesis system was pretty clever for what it tried to do. Enemies learning from previous engagements, finding new ways to fight and defeat you.
I hope that one day, the system will be built into other games, where what you do and how you interact with the wold and those in it will have lasting, appreciable affects on the world and your role/choices in it.
Hoping for a good Battle for Middle Earth 3
Provided EA doesn't dumb down the mechanics
>>332308275
It'll be like C&C4.
>>332308153
>That quote
That's pretty gay, orc.
>>332305624
>>332307093
Some nerd who read the books told Jackson to tell Orlando Bloom to smile in that scene. Nothing more to it.
>>332308513
>>332308513
It's supposed to be.
A bit slow, but I just started reading the Silmarillion. Feanor seems to be a huge retard, but I must say that I like this guy.Goddamned you Telerei, just make some new boats for them.
>>332295093
I literally just closed that game
Only worthwhile thing about this turd is the nemesis system, sole reason I have 9 hours in it so far
The lorerape is just embarassing
>>332304147
>>332302297
Wasn`t it that Tolkien`s nephew or something has the rights over the silmarillion and he keeps it from everyone? I thought that was why we don`t have anything from first age
I mean armies of balrogs, dragons, gods and all that would sell a lot, no one is that retarded to let that pass
Will you faggots stop talking about Fuck Tolkien: The Game?
This is a LotR thread.
>>332308920
Best part of the game is taking over the army. Ratbag is the tutorial on that. Follow his quest, get to the second map, and do main quests until you can convert orcs. Then it's fun.
>>332308995
Tolkien's son Christopher, who himself teaches at Oxford, holds the rights and he'll be damned if he lets one more piece of the legendarium ever become licensed.
>>332308864
I think the Silmarillion is one of the better books, especially if you've read his other works. And it does start off slow, but you need to get a good grasp on lineage, as it becomes more important later. Enjoy the ride, there is nothing like reading it the first time.If only Feanor wasn't such a fuckboi, things wouldn't have turned out so bad. He is the catalyst for everything.
>>332308995
No studio is going to pay 300 million to make a movie in which none of the lotr characters has a role.

>>332308535
You guys are thinking of Hobbit Jackson.
Jackon, Walsh and the others who wrote up the script for LotR and worked on the worldbuilding actually really cared about what they were making and knew their shit. It was a real passion project that Jackson couldn't believe he was funded to make.
He never wanted to direct The Hobbit but Del Toro dropped out and I guess the studio offered him a gorrilion dollars to half-arse it.
>>332309712
>best mod
>not The Last Days for M&B
Did anyone else play it?
I thought it was really fun
Fuck, this thread shows me how much I miss the Lord of the Rings games, I got almost all of them, even the Gameboy/Gameboy Advance games and Playstation 2 games, also that amazing The Hobbit game for PC and consoles. That were great times I'm telling you, really great times. My favorites are still BFME 1 and 2.
>>332310361
Man the Hobbit movies were fucking awful
I expected bad but not that bad
>>332310605
Was also a good time for comfy Harry Potter games.
>>332310669
I know, man. I know. Sometimes I catch myself staring at a wall and thinking about how bad they were, have to pull myself back to reality. It's a wound that doesn't heal.
Still haven't watched the third one. Fuck that noise.
>>332310574
Hell yes I fucking did.
The game was buggy out the ass though, or at least on my grandparents PC it was. Had to constantly restart a few levels because shit literally wouldn't spawn, or the boss would get stuck behind a wall.
But fuck it was fun and made me love the hobbit as a kid.
>>332310361
Del Toro didn't dropped. Apparently he wanted to make changes regarding styles to fit his personal vision, which would depart from the estabilished Jackson style. The studio then pushed him out and brought Jackson back. And yeah, Jackson had no interest in directing this.
>>332310605
>BFME
>Rohan
>Train a shit ton of Rohirrim

Was this the game with 3 minute load times to get into a simple house on the original Xbox?
I think I "played" it for a bit.
>>332310837

The Rise of the Witch-King's campaign was so fucking good, even if itsn't canon.
I love playing as an evil overlord.
>>332314381
C'est pas faux.
>>332314413
Melkor is an evil asshole who caused terrible wars but the son of a bitch didn't breed infighting and distrust among his forces so they couldn't hold the line against an enemy.
>>332314381
It's a shame the series will never be known outside of french-speaking countries.
>>332307617
Copyrights, anon.
Everything is an "intellectual property" now
>there will never be a coop game about the blue wizards doing fuck knows what fuck knows where
>>332314751
But it's okay because he did the same thing earlier among the Noldor. That's absolutely fine, it's not like this caused all the later mischief. He was just a bad guy, how could I forget!
>>332314056
Don't forget about Dwarf Fortress if you want a more generalized fantasy story generator.
>>332301238
It got such meh reviews but I loved it.
>>332314935
They went east, which is basically mordor controlled land. Probably got buttfucked, them light blue sissies
Mordor was ok you faggots, the nemesis system is cool as fuck, yeah it kinda shits on the lore, but every game does that, so I consider it it's own thing like an alternate timeline
the world looks authentic and the visuals are top notch, the orks and uruks are amazing and the real star of the show
>>332315338
That final "boss" nothing more than qte bullshit. They hyped up that final battle so much. Was cool as hell to fight bunch of nemeses/chieftans with your ragtag uruks at same time tho.
>>332315857
yeah, but they did deliver on the Sauron boss fight, in the bloody DLC
>>332315295

Overall a great game, with a fantastic soundtrack.

There was no way that dedicating an entire movie to like 30 pages could ever turn out good.
You have to wonder how badly moviefags took it. Imagine waiting a year to see the conclusion of Smaug's menace only for him to die in the first five minutes.
Why are the lotr movies so damn good? I could rewatch them every week.
It just feels like a damn adventure. I want more of that. Maybe a nice D&D movie exactly like lotr.

The books are great, lots of more world building.
You should give the Silmarillion a chance too, it's basicly old testament with elves, gods and giant shadow weaving spiders
>>332320592
Why wouldn't I read them?
Since I watched the movies first I was surprised it took Frodo 20 damn years to get off to his quest.

I think the main diffrence between LotR and other fantasy fiction is that LotR is very much written like a historical epic whilst other shit is not only derivative (of another work of fiction rather than real mythology) but it's written like regular fictional novels.
I'd seriously argue that LotR and the books related to the setting deserve their very own sub-genre; epic fantasy.
Why was Gandalf so useless a lot of times
I know he's supposed to be some envoy sent by the gods or some shit but come on.
>>332322610
I think the main diffrence between LotR and other fantasy fiction is that LotR is superior to literally everything
Why did they fuck up the Hobbit so badly?
It's like they forgot everything that made the LOTR movies good.
>>332322610
It's mythical folk tales. That was Tolkien's life pursuit, studying and writing those things. He did a lecture on Beowulf and single handedly changed the academic perspective on it from "just a story of a hero killing some monsters" to it's own place in fictional history.

they cashed in, it was about the money, also jackson went full lucas with green screen and CGI
>>332322954
>he's supposed to be some envoy sent by the gods
Yeah, to offer advice mostly.
>>332323152
Jackson might deserve some of the blame, but he was literally incapable of doing anything about that part. The Hobbit had virtually 0 pre-production whilst the LotR films had years.
There's a video from one of the Hobbit dvds (I think) that shows how fucked the whole production was. Conan Stevens jumped ship on GoT (he was the original Mountain) to play the son of Azog in the Hobbit, but they eventually turned to CGI simply because it was easier and quicker.

This is still the best LotR game I have ever played. And they are still making expansions for it regularly.
>>332322954
Because he was forbidden to match power with power since last time they did that a subcontinent sank.
Also he was scared of orcs.

Gandalf didn't really have the right to go fuck shit up. If I'm not entirely mistaken (and correct me if I am) he wasn't allowed to directly confront any other maiar. Durin's Bane (the balrog in Moria) completely overstepped his boundaries when he went to fuck with Gandalf and was summarily fucked up. Likewise, Saruman failed in his duty as a maiar by being a powerhungry twat and subsequently had his staff broken by Gandalf who was the new boss of the istari.
The Hobbit
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
The Silmarillion
The Children of Húrin
Is that everything, as far as Middle-Earth narrative novels go?
>>332322061
Game of Thrones fits the bill. Not gonna debate which is better but its not total shit.
>tfw you'll never get an epic RPG with the same epic feel as Ted Nasmith's artwork.
>>332324013

>>332324128
Why is Ted so fucking godlike?
>>332324049
I like GoT a lot, actually. Show and books.
>>332324175
He's probably a maiar himself, desu.
>>332324130
That's why I'm asking. I'm a Tolkien casual.

Fuck, is there any fantasy world more comfy than Middle-Earth?

Doesn't look that far off from what you could see in Skyrim, with some reservations of course.
>>332324425
Then you might want to add these and that book where Tolkien replied to letters.
>>332318536
Short answer is that it was rushed. They were shooting some of the battle scenes even before the script was finished.

Problem with Skyrim was that is lacked the sense of scale >>332324695 mentioned. It didn't really help that the colours were way too muted.
>>332324128
>that subtle flame lighting up the nearby rocks
Whenever I see Ted art I instantly think of LOTR.

Fuck me.

You know what's a surprising combo? Looking at Nasmith and listening to Hirasawa music. It's a weird blend of Berserk and LOTR.
>>332306225
Evil Mode was one of the best things in any game ever
>>332310847
They are pretty bad, but I think they are better than the star wars prequels.
>>332325415
They're worse than the prequels because at least those gave us podracer.
I liked The Hobbit movies, although they're not a patch on the LOTR trilogy and they're very bloated.
Saying that, I have not seen the extended versions.
>>332325415
The Star Wars prequels are watchable. The Hobbit movies are not.
>>332325415
Well the prequels are trainwrecks in every way so yes I guess^, but that's no high praise

warhammer: LOTR would have been cooler than warhammer:war:hammer:warhammer
I remember wasting hours playing BFME when i was younger. But the hard AI got easy after a short while.
>muh isengard
Wasn't crazy about BFME 2, I enjoyed the castle layout from the original it felt more immersed.
>>332294916
Except there has been. There were lotr GBA games that were RPGS.
Yeah sure the star wars prequels suck but they are still better than star trek, battlestar galatica, firefly, Andromeda, Farscape, etc.

Are you implying The Phantom Menace is not at least a decent SW movie?
TWA is much worse imho.

it was fun but short lived
How is Lord Of The Rings The Third Age game for Gamecube?
I never actually played fully through it, and am thinking of playing it again. Is it worth plugging in my gamecube for it?

>Faramir AKA David Wenham
You better be memeing shithead.
the ultimate dungeon crawl
>>332326419
I agree with this guy.
I could always watch prequels.
I can't even bring myself to watch TWA a second time.
You can shit on Lucas all you want, but that man had a vision.
He didn't execute it properly in the prequels, but at least he didn't play it safe like Jew Jew. The movie ripped it's own original trilogy so much it hurts.
>>332320124
>I want more of that.
You got The Hobbit and you will like it
>>332326689
>>332294846
Wait, was there actually a scene of them together like that? Boromir dies in the first one and Faramir gets introduced in the second one, right?
