I'm so hyped I want the season pass. The Season Pass.

I need to calm down...

Listen to your boy Gandalf. You shall not Pass.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

It isn't one tho. It's about as deep as Arkham and Assassin's Creed.

Eh, if it's good, it'll be close enough - it'll tide me over to DA:I.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I'm so hyped I want the season pass. The Season Pass.

Yes, you do. Never buy a season pass before they reveal and release everything in it.

It's even on sale before release on Steam... which I find odd.

 

[Lorcain]

To indulge in the realm of speculation for a moment; one wonders how easy it would have been for Oromë or Tulkas to simply approach Mordor sweeping aside all resistance, entering Barad-dûr and doing to Sauron what Eönwë did to Melkor. Of course the non-interference policy was in place (with exceptions) so Manwë would have prevented such action. But then much of the strife of the First Age was due to Manwë's irresolute nature.

I wish I understood more than a few words of what you wrote. My Tolkien-lore is woefully bad.

 

[PRjumpman124]

I'll be here to lend my expertise on such things. It's not always that a Tolkien related videogame is released and especially one that shows promise.

Do you think that Talion somehow being revived with wraith-like powers is Mandos' handiwork? I don't see how else this could happen, and the Vala being involved in the plot of this game would be really interesting I think.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Praying for this game tbh. I desperately want an RPG on PS4.

It's not an RPG though. At best it has RPG-lite elements, but aside from the small character/weapon customization; there really isn't any other RPG mechanics. It's as much an RPG as Batman:Arkham City is. It still looks great though.

One does not simply buy a season pass.... yeah you may want to hold off until knowing what the full season pass details.

IGN Review

+ Lord of the Rings yo
- THQ Quality

3 out of 10

-orcs are ugly as fuck, would NOT bang

 

[Garrett Hawke]

You're all going to be laughing when IGN gives this an arbitrary 8.9.

 

[Dead Prince]

You're all going to be laughing when IGN gives this an arbitrary 8.9.

it'll get a 9.2. they'll deduct a few points because of no reason because every they say will be positive.

 

[lmbotiva]

with all the media released for this is very hard this game ends up being bad, specially the latest trailer, everything about it seems great, i just haven't preorder waiting on ps4 performance feedback, screen tearing to be more precise, if the ps4 has any of that venom than PC it is

IGN Review

3 out of 10

+ Lots of somersaults
-Tyrion Lannister seems too tall and seems to have a ghost or something bothering him
-Lack of microtransactions left me feeling under-dressed and overpowered for most of the game. Unfamiliar icky feeling ensued.

 

[VanWinkle]

So hyped, guys. I have to work at 7am tomorrow so I unfortunately won't be able to watch reviews as they come in, but I'm really anxious to check them out and the reaction when I get up.

 

[sjay1994]

I am buying this game.

I can't grind in destiny anymore.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

*hugs*

We've all been there brother. We've all been there.

 

[Dead Prince]

can you jump in the game? if not. that's .5 off the score right there.

 

[Crooked16th]

I am buying this game.

Don't worry with the update today Bungie made that decision for you.

Anyone Know what the length of the game is.

 

[Death Metalist]

Don't worry with the update today Bungie made that decision for you.

Anyone Know what the length of the game is.

They said that play testers averaged around 30 hours and that's without doing everything that is offered in the game.

 

[MMaRsu]

I want points docked because of no Peter Dinklage voice overs

Not to derail, but my friend told me about this, lol

...fucking amazing and glad I bailed on Destiny within the first week

 

[VanWinkle]

They said that play testers averaged around 30 hours and that's without doing everything that is offered in the game.

Yup. And they said it should take a completionist about 40 hours.

 

[RespectThySole]

When is the review embargo for this game up?

Edit: Nevermind it looks like it's up at 12:01 EST

Oooooh, can't wait

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Looking good, only two hours!! Did someone confirm before that the DLC, especially the hunting stuff was ripped from original game? I want to get the DLC but season passes have been a gray area for me.

Also how do i sign onto WBID to get the extra rune? i cant seem to find the page.

 

[Dead Prince]

polygon? 7/10 for ALL version even if xb1 was inferior.

If they are excited it must be a good game..

 

[FF Seraphim]

The fact people are hyping up the time their reviews will hit has me being cautiously optimistic...

 

[The Dear Leader]

If they are excited it must be a good game..

Or excited for the page view ad revenue when they give it a low score.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

I just wanted to pop into the thread and say I miss the original thread title "Boromir was wrong". That was more witty imho.

Yeah... I am curious why the Title was changed...

Did people not get the joke?

 

[Levyne]

Ah, so Gies was incorrect, seems to be eastern time.

 

[eznark]

Kollar? 6.5/10

 

[LaserBuddha]

oops

 

[owlbeak]

COP: "You dove headfirst into your car. Then you dove back out when I'm telling you to get out of your car."

So to be clear he was shot both for going into his car when told, and coming back out when told. Dehumanizing dives.

lol

He's voicing Gollum, bro. He sneaks ahead and slowly unlocks doors for you.

 

[Marcel]

I'm definitely interested in reading some more impressions about this game. The familiar faces in here probably know why.

 

[brandonh83]

Whoa Garry Schyman is composing? Purchase fuckin' confirmed.

 

[M.W.]

I see mid to high sevens.

 

[Elginer]

I am buying this game.

I know that feel.

 

[Gaz_RB]

You and me both. I feel like the game could go either way at this point.

Also, everytime I see you post I get reminded of this video: Marcel the Shell

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

hope i can amass an army to fuck shit up

that's what I get from the nemesis system, or at least what I think I can possibly do in some sort of capacity

I will get the weakest, saddest orc and turn him into something great - Little Mac style.

My Talion will decide... this Orc's destiny.

 

[RoKKeR]

So, the Dark Ranger skin...

...looks pretty damn sweet. But I don't want to pre-order. Are there other skins in the game to unlock?

 

[WheelHoss1]

So a little over an hour before the reviews hit???

 

[theonerayman]

They asked the devs in one of the streams if there was going to be skins unlockable in game or if they were all going to be preorder/DLC and he said they would all be preorder bonuses and DLC.

 

[Vincent4756]

this really seems like the next Batman:AA of this gen. got it preordered and cant wait to dive in!

 

[drotahorror]

So a little over an hour before the reviews hit???

12am EST? I figured it would be pacific time.

 

[StriKeVillain]

I'm honestly hoping the reviews aren't off the charts. I know I'll get sucked in and buy it at full price.
