I am confused. Is this a game? An online game? zuh?

Dimrill · **Posted:** Mon Jun 02, 2008 19:49

*breathes, calms*

Yes, a game. I've literally just found out about it. 360, PC, PS3 game by EA made by the chaps who made Star Wars Battlefront. Battlefront with Orcs?! Now you're talking. I literally cannot wait.

edit: Kotaku thing about something or other

Do you go LARPing, Dimrill?

NervousPete · **Posted:** Mon Jun 02, 2008 20:18

Ooh. Intriguing. My current computer won't run it, but when it comes out eventually hopefully I will have one to. I've heard it's going to have the Scouring of the Shire. Might be a bit creepy that, mind.

Anyway, 'till then I'll continue with Lord of the Rings:Online. Can't wait for Mines of Moria expansion, coming out in a few months me. :DD

So is this like CoD4 but with like faries and stuff?

Because i could be into that. Though on that kotaku link they kept mentioning "mages." And the geek in me remembers that their were only 12 or so. And they never even cast a fireball. Hmmm.

Still pretty exciting.

I wonder if there will be a skateboard on a shield perk.

no. Not that there's anything wrong with people who do, but no.

I am not impressed with the demo for this. I am quite upset at the demo for this, actually.

What's the potential for griefing like?

This looked brilliant for the first moment I knew of it, then I realised it couldn't possibly ever actually be good.

Ah griefing, that's when you ruin someone else's enjoyment of a game, isn't it? Like going into someone's AC town and cutting down all the trees, yes?

I like the font used for the menu. That is all.

Based on the demo, this is pretty terrible.

No, he hasn't yet. But if griefing is so much fun I'm sure it's just a matter of time. It's like the cocks who drop in to your town in A Kingdom For Keflings and just destroy all your buildings.

MaliA is BeeX's Professor Pester.

I've never witnessed a hype-inversion this quickly before. Well done Dimrill.

I share this viewpoint. In fact based on the demo I'd say it was an insult to the source material. a big insult.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Jan 13, 2009 15:15

So everyone's slagged it off without saying why yet.

What's wrong with it?

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38652

apparently.... it's..... not impressive.

It *sounds* like it's because MaliA could play it.

Bobbyaro · **Joined:** 18th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 11897

It is based on Star Wars: Battlefront and contains LotR characters.

Isn't that just War of the Ring, or whatever it was?

Well yes, but I'm sure there was another RTS game based on LotR not that long ago.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Tue Jan 13, 2009 16:42

This isn't RTS though. Play the demo.

Dimrill did because the demo has just come out. You've not taken to sniffing acrylics again have you?

SW:battlefront wasn't either, was it? Or am I thinking of another game. I thought SW:B was FPS style points capturing thingy?

myp · **Posted:** Tue Jan 13, 2009 16:46

Maybe I'm thinking of a different Star Wars game.

MrChris · **Joined:** 1st Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 30498

Galaxies?

myp · **Posted:** Tue Jan 13, 2009 16:47

That's the one.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Jan 13, 2009 16:47

Lego Star Wars?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

You're thinking of Galactic Battlegrounds.

Not Galaxies, that was a mmpugpug

No, it was the 8 of Diamonds.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Jan 13, 2009 16:54

I was thinking of Battle for Middle-Earth, anyway. War of the Ring is a different RTS.

LewieP · **Joined:** 29th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 7600

So why it is bad:

Controls, animation, AI (particularly friendly), hud, and sound are all pretty terrible, and definitely don't feel like LOTR at all.
There was invisible walls.
Going in water kills you, just like, normal water.
It is ugly as hell.
Enemies pop up from no where when you turn your back.

Dimrill · **Posted:** Tue Jan 13, 2009 17:24

Yeah, it really is ugly. Surprised it got through the door in this unpolished state.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Jan 13, 2009 17:25

Shame.

LewieP · **Joined:** 29th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 7600

Yeah, it's a real missed opportunity.

I wouldn't, as it happens.

And I don't have A Kingdom for Keflings.

I'm quite saddened that people think I would go and cut down trees in AC, or do whatever in KfK. As I wouldn't.
