Is that really the best gameplay they could show? Not much happened. Visually it’s extremely outdated.
As long as they’re not trying to charge $60 it’s fine I guess.

I think that may have been the most boring gameplay demo I have ever seen. 13 minutes of fuck all

Are they serious with this? This is a joke right? No way someone looks at that and say “yep, this looks awesome for 2023”. I’ll pay $10 for this, only because I’m a huge lotr fan, but $10 is my upper limit for what I just saw.

Well if that gollum game is any indication, and the Amazon show, the rights owners for LOTR don’t give a fuck about how their property gets used and abused. I expect a lot more shovelware in the future.

Guess I’ll have to enjoy what’s been made thus far, and accept that there likely won’t be anything good made in the future.

Copyright for the first Middle Earth starts running out in 2032, 95 years after The Hobbit was published. Probably want to milk this out of money while they still can, even if it's for scraps.

I was super excited for this game, and after watching that gameplay video, removed it from my wishlist. Was really hoping for a good moria survival game, but all the mechanics in this video look subpar.

The game better be GotY-level of enjoyable to justify that level of jank.

I really don’t care about outdated graphics, but unless the exploration is brilliant, I don’t see much potential content. Combat looked ‘hack and slash’ without proper mechanism.

What’s with all these crappy LOTR games? It looks so boring I won’t even try it.

Jesus, this thing looks like a switch game yet still struggles with getting an acceptable framerate. And the animations... Do the devs know we're well past 6th gen?

Mobile game looking ass
Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, I’d accept this if it were a DS game. Not on major consoles in 2023.

I can see it being loved by the certain communities, like deep rock and such, but come on, you have the biggest and most popular fantasy world ever made and this is what you get out of it?

The company that owns the licensing to lotr is currently in a phase of will license the ip out to anyone mode. So whilst you might think there’s someone out there making decisions on what to do with the property, it’s more that a bunch of low budget companies are asking for the license and getting it for cheap

Is it a mobile game? Looks terrible!

Nah, Deep Rock look way better and more fun

I get a Valheim mixed with LOTR vibes, I can’t remember if this is coming from a big studio or not…
ZTriv@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Where does one go to play a good LOTR game these days? Feels like there a is a big void.

If I can be a little nitpicky here: In the beginning the dwarf said: “Ah, the Mines of Moria. I hope this will lead to Dwarrowdelf.” Now the Mines of Moria is just a nickname for Khazad Dum. Which translate to Dwarrowdelf.
So basically he just said: “Ah, Dwarrowdelf. I hope this will lead to Dwarrowdelf.”
(Alright fine, they probably refer to the actual mines of Khazad Dum. And with “Dwarrowdelf” possibly just the Pillar-hall. But that’s still wrong so I win.)
