[timetokill]

sweet. I was hoping against hope that this would end up being good.

 

[GolazoDan]

Cancelled my preorder when I realised I should probably wait to see how some of these games are received (aside from ones I'd definitely buy anyway like FIFA and Smash).

I've put that order back in now.

destructoid: 6/10

I am constantly at odds with Destructoid's reviews ... I don't know why. Something just doesn't gel between what I like and what the editors there do.

...THE HYPE IS REAL!

 

[zychi]

Im soooo hyped for this game, cant wait to play it during the steam xmas sale for $30. It looks like a great lotr themed game

 

[BloodMoney]

Monolith's still got it!

 

[EmptySpace]

I am legitimately surprised.

games media has been saying positive things about it since e3.

[Vyrance]

Damn was hoping I wouldn't have to buy the game early on, since I'm starting up in Archeage and want to get Ethan Carter as well =x

Glad to see the game getting great reviews though!

 

[Nuke Soda]

I had a good feeling about this game.

 

[Quentyn]

Some real love for the Nemesis system on Twitter.

 

[friday]

Down 2 merk some orks. Gotta get it.

 

[darkside31337]

I wonder what it feels like to be the reviewer that releases their review the same time as everyone else and be essentially the only one to pan the game. That must be odd, I don't think I would handle that well

Dunno why that would be a problem, guy wrote what he felt about the game.

While Kotaku gave it a YES its not exactly a ringing endorsement across the board. Kind of wish they just did away with the YES / NO system altogether because people still use that system the same way they do with scores which kind of subverts the whole reason not to use scores in the first place.

I don't think he cares. If he didn't enjoy the game, he didn't enjoy it, simple as that really.

 

[antitrop]

Destructoid is the new Polygon.

Hopefully Monolith can get the recognition it deserves now. And make me a spiritual sequel to NOLF please kthx.

The people that made NOLF and F.E.A.R. started up an indie studio called Blackpowder Games. Closest thing you'll get to a spiritual NOLF sequel is a Kickstarter out of them.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

Someone with knowledge on the game, what is the nemesis system?

 

[Tohsaka]

Great scores, Tuesday needs to hurry up and get here.

Whoa that site is still around? Used to go there all the time.

Very excited now. The dynamism of the nemesis system sounds fucking awesome based on the polygon review. Day one yo.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I am awash in glorious hyperbole... and I like it.

Spoiler

My preciousss...

 

[Chaplain]

Is the screen tearing still present in the PS4 version?

 

[Death Metalist]

I would still get this game if it got a 0, I knew it.

MONOLITH IS BACK BABY!

Spoiler

They deserve all this support and success.

 

[Ashodin]

Shit where am I gonna get the money for this

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

I'm kinda bummed it looks like I gotta pick it up :/. Dat pain in my wallet.

agreed. there are just too many good games to play and not enough time :/

 

[StoopKid]

Is this 1080p on ps4 ?

 

[ironcreed]

One LotR game to rule them all indeed. This was one of those games that just screamed that it was going to be great.

 

[Nirolak]

Seattle is having a run on champagne at the liquor store right now.

This has got to be a pretty huge morale boost going from mixed success to being one of the highest rated new retails games of the year.

 

[WoolyNinja]

Well damn, I completely wrote this game off as a cash in for some reason. Now I'm going to have to go ahead and buy it at some point soon.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I fucking knew it!! Any review specifically mention PC performance?

 

[Zoned]

Damn out of nowhere.

 

[InvaderZimmer]

Mmm a game to test my precious 970

 

[the_firewithin]

 

[Beepos]

A good PC port and its mine my precious.

 

[Hyunkel6]

I honestly thought this game would be mediocre at best. Now, I got to buy it. My wallet.

 

[nynt9]

Is this 1080p on ps4 ?

Of course. Also 60fps.

 

[Sharpeye]

Is this 1080p on ps4 ?

Yep, 60 fps too.

 

[AgentOtaku]

FUCKIN' A!!!!

Couldn't think of a more fitting song...

Spoiler

I'll use any excuse to post it (^___^)

I NEVER STOPPED BELIEVING IN YOU MONOLITH!!!!

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Woh for real?

I dismissed this one pretty early on, but if it's as rad as it apparently seems to be, I'll def be grabbing it.

I'm a sucker for LotR but I was rolling with a "you won't fool me this time!' attitude.

 

[Remachinate]

Some real love for the Nemesis system on Twitter.

Exactly, emergent systems are where all this next-gen horsepower should be going. Good on Monolith for leading the charge.

 

[Atone13]

This is definitely on the must play list for me now.

 

[bananafactory]

Of course. Also 60fps.

Is that confirmed officially? Or is it unlocked and variable up to 60 fps?

 

[SwiftDeath]

Huh this seems to be reviewing quite well then.

Was going to buy it anyways though. Looks fun

 

[ironcreed]

Some real love for the Nemesis system on Twitter.

A hyped up new feature that actually delivers. So refreshing.

 

[exmachina64]

Mmm a game to test my precious 970

DSR that game.

 

[Corpekata]

An optional Ultra HD texture pack on PC? I'm salivating.

 

[grosvenor_92]

I'll admit I'm surprised I didn't expect it to get scores this good

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

$37.50 copy on Greenmangaming preordered, super excited for Tuesday.

 

[gdt]

Man, I would've sworn the Nemesis system would be just some sort of gimmick a lot of games push in the marketing, seems it turned out really well.

 

[REV 09]

One LotR game to rule them all indeed. This was one of those games that just screamed that it was going to be great.

I honestly didn't see it. It screamed middle of the road to me. My initial thoughts were a licensed, b-tier, Assassins Creed knock-off. After being disappointed by Destiny I may pick this up as a positive surprise.

any deals for console versions?
