I expected this to be bashing from the title, but it took a pleasant turn. Makes me want to play the game now.

Good write up! It certainly made me nostalgic for the games of that era.

[–] Madbrad200@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Agreed!

To be honest as awesome as this game was I just want a new Battle for Middle Earth game.

I want any lotr game honestly :( Despite Shadow of Mordor being popular, it wasn't for me and the new Gollum thing is best left forgotten.

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah very true. There is so much potential still, I will keep hope for more amazing lotr games.

It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not. For even the very wise cannot see all ends

I wish they'd do a graphics refresh on LotRO. That was a great game in its day.

Gollum just came out and it looks absolutely fantastic
