LOTR games are the best
I can't think of a single bad one
*teleports behind you
*activates howl of death
AAH HA HAH
War in the North would like to have a word with you
Who called fer some Guardians?
wait yes I can, that shitty recent Shadow of War which shits on the lore
BFME2 is still my favourite RTS
How fucking unbalanced this game was made me love it so much
SPEARS UP!!
the fun units is what made you like the game, not the imbalance
Anyone else ever play this? I was a kid and had no idea what I was doing so I just kept getting mauled to death by wolves
War in the North was fine, not bad. Plus, the cover was cool.
Rohan best girl
Yeah, it's complete shit, and you're not gonna get fucking anywhere without the giant strategy guide, the actual books to tell you what you're supposed to be doing, and the patience necessary to get the first rune in 7th saga.
a mag expelrience
their cavalry was completely broken you crushed any enemy at the first charge
...
...
Last one?
aussie interwebs sorry
Thank god they were made when they were
>which shits on the lore
No one cares. Tolkien was so bitter over nerds overanalyzing and questioning pointless bullshit like the color of the blue wizards' pubes that he probably would have preferred people going off and doing whatever they wanted with the lore anyway.
I have always thought that shot of Gandalf just kind of hanging out in the alley with all the empty crates could be a painting.
>King of the Dead
Man, fuck that fight. And fuck the Black Gate, too.
2 shekels have been deposited into your account
>can't find BFME 1, 2 or 3 anywhere
>I actually have BFME 1 on CD but it fails to recognize the CDKEY
JUST
whachu mean
I think that's a gross exaggeration
I don't even know what you're talking about, Shadow of War is awful. I just don't think "muh lore" is a valid argument against any adaption. The movies shit all over the lore too.
WILL YOU FORSAKE YOUR KING
AND SWEAR LOYALTY
TO SAURON
why were Hobbits so much more advanced than the rest of Middle-Earth and were living in the 19th century while everyone else was medieval?
Uhm i thought he was super protective over his work. And probably wouldn't of licensed the rights and even his son said that was a mistake.
because it was a stand-in for a time Tolkien wanted to return to in his youth, it's basically picturesque countryside England
>19th century
I wouldn't go that far, more like 17th century at most
little dik but big brain
what's the deal with the licensing on Tolkien's stuff? i read a few months ago that it was recently opened up but can't find any articles. would love to see some more LOTR games
its a beautiful shot
Manlets are the superior race.
be prepared to have Tolkien's magnum opus sacrificed to the SJW gods buddy, because Christopher stepped down as head of Tolkien enterprises and some greedy kikes took over
that would technically be the Dwarves buddy
Really wish old Tolkster gave them more focus sometimes
Honestly the best film trilogy ever. Try find a better one, I fucking dare you.
There's a fair bit about them in the Appendices I believe.
Pity bfme2 doesn't work in Windows 10 and that because of licensing you can't get it anymore
Amazon is making a TV series. Prepare to weep
team fortress 2
is it locked up by some other fags or is it basically open season on the IP? they'll sjw the fuck out of it for sure but if we can get some genuine autists to make /ourgame/ i'll just play the lore-friendly titles.
Because everybody there were decent folk instead of acting like a bunch of cunts
seriously could you fucking imagine them now? morgan freeman as gandalf, some stupid dyke added to the group who kicks the shit out of boromir. we are lucky as hell they came out when it did, i still watch them all the time
anyone have the webm of BFME cav charges?
I can't blame em really, who needs adventures and that shit when you live in the Shire and nobody bothers you, though the Rangers kept the place safe
the question is could some faggot like me make a game set in Middle Earth and not get sued?
I think Warner Bros owns the rights to video game adaptations of LotR
Does anyone know where to buy prints of these works because they're fucking gorgeous
I'm not familiar with copyright laws but I'm fairly sure if you're not charging for it and giving credit to Tolkien then you're okay. I mean people make LOTR mods all the time.
>which shits on the lore
Peter Jackson already beat SoW to that.
>2035
>VR has advanced to a level that's almost indistinguishable from reality
>AI has advanced to a level where NPC's are basically life-like and have fully developed personalities that you can converse with
>chilling in The Shire with Gandalf
>meeting Frodo and Sam at the pub for a drink
>spending the evening in Rivendell hanging out with the elves
i unironically will never kill myself because this shit is potentially possible in my lifetime. no amount of depression could stop me from staying alive to see this one day
>Rohirrim arrive at Minas Tirith
>summon the Balrog right underneath them as they charge
>you will never live as a NEET hobbit in a comfy hole in Hobbiton
well according to Tolkien himself Hobbits are still around but have grown even smaller and more stealthy, maybe you can find them user
>Wake up mid morning with a hangover
>Smoke some pipe weed
>Eat fresh farm produce, eggs and cheese for breakfast
>Read some books and pour over some maps for a couple of hours
>Go outside and do some farm work
>Around sunset have a piping hot bath
>Go around to farmer Bob's place for a quick drink and another smoke
>End up at the Green dragon again for the 4th time this week
>Sing songs and dance until the wee hours of the morning
Yeah pretty much. It's how I imagine living in countryside Ireland, Wales or New Zealand must be like
Make it almost exactly the same but rename everything. Say it's "inspired by Tolkien".
Dwarf Fortress is a good game if you're into lotr.
Just sucks that bfme2 doesn't work in Windows 10.
Well, The Third Age ended with a turn-based battle where you scale the tower of Barad-dûr and smack Sauron in the eye until the tower falls over.
Which made me chortle.
fucking this
>mfw bfme3 never
Move out of the city, build a small house in the country and just do it. /out/ has off-grid homestead threads all the time.
There's a dude in NZ that basically lives like a Hobbit. He just asked a chill farmer is he could build a shack and live in the far corner of his land. Dude built his shack for $12; no electricity, brings in water in jugs of it hasn't rained in a while. He helps out on the farm occasionally for some food.

>Make it almost exactly the same but rename everything. Say it's "inspired by Tolkien".
This. Plenty of well known games have the classic middle-earth setup with tree-loving bow-wielding elves, drunken mining dwarves, and evil green monsters. Just don't call it "Middle Earth."
Your setting might need a little more to stand out these days though.

Dragon Age (Origins at least) had more in common with Warhammer and Wheel of Time really
I genuinely liked the first Hobbit movie.
I fell asleep in the theater during the second one though.
> Wake up at 5 am.
> Work the farmland for 12 hours
> Hope your farm doesn't die for bs reasons
>Go to sleep
I don't recall that fight.
it's the last battle, it's so fucking insane they had the balls to do it
Final Boss.
What's funny is I don't remember a whole lot of build-up if there was any. You just get the transition nearing the end, and your whole party is already chilling at the top of the tower, trading blows back and forth with the eye.
Comfy LotR threads are the best.
Only screenshot I can find.
Still makes me angry that the servers aren't up anymore

>glitching the character creator so that you could give any hero the powers of any other race

Obligatory reminder that Fuck Tolkien: The Game and its abortion of a sequel treats the lore so badly it makes Jackson's Hobbit trilogy a thoroughly faithful rendition in comparison. And don't fucking tell me it's not canon, of course it's not canon, Tolkien's dead. Canon, by the literal definition of the word, is determined by authorship, not intellectual property rights. No shit it isn't fucking canon. But even as fanfiction it breaks the world. The game's very premise violates what's canon, along with absolutely everything else. It's a fucking travesty. It infuriates me.
And if there continues to be more of this series I will suicide bomb the dev's office so help me God.
take comfort in knowing that nobody even remembers this piece of shit especially normalfags with their fruit-fly level memory span
could it really have been that hard to have hired one person to lore check shit? people obviously care about stuff like that so why wouldn't they do something right instead of fucking it up and then wondering why they didn't meet sale expectations
>universe has big monsters and dog monsters
>invent new ones for no reason
>add literal zombies because why not
In one of the developer's own words they wanted to make Middle-earth "cool".
>add literal zombies because why not
And not only that but the wights in the game were undead Hobbits, not men.
do you remember when the lead faggot said Shelob and Gollum were the real heroes?
they were intentionally subversive and I hope it fucked them in the long run when the game flopped
is this in the second one? what the fuck i only played the first
>when the game flopped
Did it really? I dearly hope this is true I thought it was a hit.
War of the North was a good game.
This game is the only turn based rpg I know of that had co-op. For good reason. One player could just be an asshole and run from every single battle alone.
It was just the equivalent of handing the controller back and forth wasn't it?
Yes. It was incredibly stupid and pointless.
Wait, do they all go down with the tower in a grand suicide attack?
I don't remember an epilogue.
>Turn shelob into yennifer.
It will never not confuse me.
>playing hard mode
I kinda preferred how the first game let you bring your army from mission to mission
