I almost installed LOTR War in the North today, but thought better of it, the waiting game is killing me.

Everything is a GOTY contender in 2014. It's the Wild Card year.

Haha yup! Wildcard, bitches!
Another video via Playstation some may have missed. Dude goes after a Warchief without clearing any bodyguards or getting intel on the guards and pays the price.

A day may come when the genius of Monolith fails, when we forsake our ports and break all bonds of compatibility, but it is not this day.
This day we hype!
By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you 'buy, Men of the GAF!'"

To clarify:
There's a PC version, then an XB1 version, then a PS4 version all made by Monolith. The 360/PS3 versions are stripped down and done by another studio.

Welcome bud! Stay outta Off topic side for a while and you'll do fine here.
I myself have been catching up on lore in anticipation and couldn't be more excited. It seems such a no-brainer that a game like this should have already taken place and it looks so damn good.

so pumped for this.please be good,oh please be good.
One thing I'd like to see explained by LotR-lore experts;
I see Uruks in the game, I thought they were created by Sauruman during the timespan between the start of Frodo's travels and Sauruman's demise at the hands of the Ents. Or did Sauruman and Sauron's alliance start much earlier and did they start their Uruk-production earlier in secrecy?

Sauron bred them first, but then Sauruman bred his own.

This looks so damn good. A month ago, I hadn't seen much of the game and I didn't care about it at all. Now after watching various videos since then, I cannot wait for it to come out. It looks so fun. Gonna go pre-order it today to get the bonus stuff.

Can someone explain the thread title? I've seen all the movies multiple times, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

It already is lol, from 2.8ghz. Can't get I higher without runtime issues. The joys of a 7 year old system that carried me through the gen no sweat.
One does not simply walk into the thread and explain the title.

I've been able to ignore almost everything about this game other than looking for impressions of the game's quality. I'm a big LOTR fan and have read everything from the Silmirillion through to the Return of the King and beyond many times over and can't wait to find out what the devs put in from all of this source material. In terms of the games faithfulness to the books, I won't get bent out of shape if things get changed. If it can capture the vibe and spirit of Middle Earth as well as the LoTR movies did, I'll be grinning for months.

Really really hoping this game turned out well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it reviews well across the board, because I want to play it asap. And I want to see it succeed. It has such cool ideas, and the fact that it's heavily systemic instead of scripted and railroaded like a lot of AAA games is pretty exciting.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind Lol.
I'm hoping that if this does well, we can get a wider variety of stories in the Middle-Earth series. I think it would be great to play as one of the Maiar, or even Sauron when he was under Morgoth's command. It would be a nice change of pace to play as someone on the bad side, especially in a LotR game (though apparently Tolkien's heirs still hold the rights to The Silmarilion).
Mine is about 6 years... i've upgraded the sound card and GPU once since building it. Man, time flies... it was a beast in its day
Building a new one in early 2015, just waiting on the next CPU refreshes which, admittedly, will probably have marginal gains but whatever. Time to save more.
But hey, this latest nvidia refresh saw some being more impressed than they were expecting. So maybe intel can knock it out of the park.

'Uruk' is just the black speech word for Orc/Goblin, the elite ones used by Sauron are called 'Black Uruks'. When Saruman later bred more of these big dudes, they were known as 'Uruk-hai'.
That is a great way to go about it. Lore experts that get mad about this stuff are taking it way to seriously. You can appreciate and celebrate a fictional universe and still have fun with something that may take liberties with it as long as it respects the source material. The movies take nothing away from the books, and neither will any game.
It's removed in TR [Turkey, not Tomb Raider, don't know about that] too. Does UK have'em?
