[@JemoK55]

When the actual game is better than gameplay trailer

[@pedrothehusky3175]

Yea usually the other way round

[@JingleJangle256]

One thing I wish was in this game and in SoW was the “jobs” feature mentioned with Ratbag. Imagine if certain Uruks did have specific positions in the chain of command and could be reliably found in certain locations. For example, slavers were under tighter guard, but could be reliably found in fortresses. Cooks would be the same, just in camps and fortresses. Hunters would be in isolated camps throughout the map and spies would be random, appearing anywhere at any time. But that’s neither here nor there. Fantastic game and I’m still enjoying it, today.

[@Kabirdix]

@@JingleJangle256 You know, it is true that that didn't end up making much difference to gameplay, but I think there was a little bit of that. Cooks are reliably butchering meat for example, and "The Lookout" is the only captain I've ever seen standing in archer perches.

Nick Beaudry you shouldn't play this game on last gen, the last gen version is horrible and completely different.

[@Kerumoom]

Scissortongue welll... that's an actual lie

[@elasolezito]

The nemesis system is one of the best mechanics in a videogame, wish i could see it in an open world game set in Star Wars playing as a bounty hunter. SoM was awesome but felt easy, could just take on every chief alone from the beginning without branding or brand the entire army from the start...

[@shyguy3479]

that's a good idea bro!

[@sharkbait8090]

Nemesis system in a star wars game? EPIC!

[@stayniftyGuyFaceMannPersonDude]

I don't understand all the hate coming from AC fan-boys/haters, It looks like a great game, sure it borrows a lot from AC, but what game doesn't borrow from a previous one? If AC got a bunch of things right, whats wrong with implementing them in a new game, plus, from what I've seen, it has its own innovations that you can't credit to AC. It isn't a copy/pasted Assassins Creed, It's a unique game, after you play it, then complain about whats wrong with it, or how it's just an AC rip-off. Besides, what self-respecting LOTR fan would complain about an open world RPG game with a fresh story, characters, & mechanics, because it borrows some stuff from a popular (very successful) game series? It seems to be the very description of everything every LOTR fan has wanted since the inception of the movies(if you never read the books).

[@TheOrpheus1999]

We already see that they got boss battles better than AC does most of the time(exceptions being Washington and the Legendary Ships).

[@stayniftyGuyFaceMannPersonDude]

TheOrpheus1999 truth.

[@MemberBerry-cu9qi]

All you have to do is tell them to look at thief and tenchu gameplay and then send them to an article about Ubisoft being sued for ripping the Assassins Creed story from an author. Shuts them up every time.

[@conor7737]

I wish they made changing skins for Celebrimbor the way they did it with Talion in the first game. It would have been cool to see a different wraith mode for the Dark Ranger or Black Hand skin.

[@seroccoprime2774]

Assassinate, Sacrifice, Spy, and Terrorize? Dude, I wanted those options in the main game.

[@markgoimon]

Anthony Serocco ikr? well they still havem but the cinematic display in this trailer is sort of presentable than what we got after release...such as ratbag sneaking a hit or his face getting smashed by the warchief...or even that leap AOE talion did (a skill that was taken out of the main game) Assassinate - kill, Sacrifice - maybe the thing when you killem after branding... Spy - information gathering, Terrorize is like Deaththreat...

[@seroccoprime2774]

Mark Imon Good point.

[@CurtisWba]

Mark Imon I've been playing this game for awhile now, had a break for a few months but when I came back to it I told one of my officers to betray his war chief i was thinking i would have had to help him as normal but to my surprise my officer did say enough talking and stabbed him in the back.

Yes !

[@wennethicus5212]

There was a game called War in the North which came out quite a few years ago. It was set during The Hobbit and you played as either a Human-Ranger, Dwarf-Warrior, or Elven-Mage. It wasn't such a good game. Just a simple action, hack/slash. But it was pretty cool seeing their idea of Middle Earth based off the Lord of the Rings films instead of The Hobbit films which came out after.

[@milimunder]

It was set during The Lord of the Rings, not during the Hobbit.

[@wennethicus5212]

Che Hristov No it wasn't. There's a part where you're in Rivendell and you get to meet all the dwarves from The Hobbit currently going on their adventure.

[@youbetcha7594]

***** COULDN'T BE BETTER

[@SOLIDShift_VI]

[@nikoshliopoulos5119]

you are a little bich and only that

[@SOLIDShift_VI]

nikos hliopoulos What? Okay.

[@MikeMessiah]

We hate it because devs are milking 5 year old concepts. yes they were good concepts, but why the same old shit? There are small little innnovations here and there that can be explored & inculcated but NOOOO DEV ARE SO FRIGGIN LAZY. *For eg. The map system in The Division*. Now thats friggin awesome...how did the devs come up with that? Well, THEY SIMPLY REFUSED TO RECYCLE/COPY-PASTE old concepts.. Oh and the biggest hate comes from the LOTR fanbase because the storyline has been completely fcked around in this game. Why didnt they simply make a fresh new game with its own lore? oh wait...they want to milk the LOTR franchise.. Just because it copies good concepts from good games, it doesnt make it a good game.

[@SOLIDShift_VI]

Mike Messiah I never said is was good, in fact I agree and most of the things you said. Aside from the lazy part, as a lot of things aren't even left to the devs, and more up to what ever company controls their work.. My issue is more with the idiots that sit and do NOTHING but complain. Instead of just, you know.. not playing the game. Or even just avoiding it. Not that hard just only play the games that you enjoy. No one is forcing anyone to play any game they don't want to, right? They waste time and energy hating on it. Seems pretty pointless to me.

If they are, I'm pretty sure that just means they're sick of seeing Assassin's Creed, which is a completely understandable point of view.

[@weross95]

***** I don't think thats why. I was a bit assassins creed fan during the first game and the ones that followed ezio but the last two assassins creed games have been terrible and heading in the wrong direction. There is no more choice in the game and it's not even about assassinating people anymore; it's more like kill 100000 guys as well as one important character somewhere along the way but make sure to kill him without touching the water...etc. Assassins creed either needs to stop putting a game out every year and take time to develop and go back to its roots or stop making terrible games and try something new.

They were making a 'proper' RPG LoTR game a few years ago called 'The White Council' I think, but they scrapped it. Shame, because we need an amazing RPG for this franchise. But I can't see this ever happening as the world they would have to create will just be FAR too big. Hence LoTRO is probably 1 of the largest game worlds ever created and we aren't no where near reaching Mount Doom or the Black Gate yet. It's gonna be some years before they release the full story.

Eric Ericson The easy-as-fuck combat system from AC3 is a bad thing.

[@MrManguy17]

Normally I would discourage a dev from ripping idea straight out of other games. But it actually worked very well for sleeping dogs, and considering how poor many LOTR games are having something that is lacking creativity but high in quality is probably the best thing for the game.

Why is this recommended to me 8 years later after I’ve played both games multiple times?

[@احمدالعراقي-ع6د2ظ]

Because it's one of the best games

[@glitch3818]

Right?! I wish they kept Celebrimbor like that, he looked awesome!

[@Fridge_Fiend]

There's a reason they changed him I guess

[@DDnufcGamer]

Assassins creed with batman fighting in a lord of the rings world? I can see that working pretty well. Looks great :D. Cant see it been anywhere near as good on the xbox360 though

[@nickluongo5570]

I had a blast with this game although I was a bit disappointed too... Orcs were way too dumb. I could be sneaking right in front of them and they couldn't see me... The game was too easy. Plus, after watching this video, and others pre-launch, I too thought I'd have the ability to send my turned captains to assassinate just like it shows in this video... But nothing like that at all. Death threats and challenges which turned into individual "missions" where the two would duel and you'd have to make sure your guy won... No stabbing in the back or anything like that. I was really looking forward to what was shown in this clip. Nonetheless, I really did have a good time with it. It was still extremely fun. The ending sucked bad tho and your recruited war chiefs were just not even needed..

[@herotrojan1645]

you take the easy mode.. thats noob.. hihi

[@nickluongo5570]

***** thank you for clearing that up for him. That is correct.

[@herotrojan1645]

oh sorry.. im kind of kidding.. i too dont know whether to buy this game or not..thanks for the explanation

[@RemnantProductionsAMV]

There actually is cut-scenes like this in the game with the "Stab in the back" thing. However it only happens when you order the bodyguard of a warchief to betray his master.

[@nickluongo5570]

Pheonix Gaming I only remember one instance where that might have been possible... I had to kill a the archers silently while a chief was talking... But I don't think I had the brand power at that point. It was a mission... Idk, I'll have to go back and play again. Dragon age has me in a trance at the moment lol

[@rabidrob4210]

It looks like a mix of the AC series and Batman series, and since it's based on a storyline which didn't happen, I'm sure many fans of the Hobbit films will enjoy it.

[@rabidrob4210]

True, they're all quite similar anyway,

[@sythissythes41]

Robert Summers Wait, what? The hobbit movies are just like the books so far, besides the new elf lady they introduced so it wouldn't be a 'sausage fest.' i Don't remember legolas being in the book either, but the hobbit series of films has stayed mostly true to it. Also, The Hobbit books spawned the lotr series, and are more 'canon' that lotr, since it started the whole fight for the 1 ring. Unless i'm remembering my childhood wrong for this book, i'm pretty sure the story-line in the hobbit films hold true.

[@rabidrob4210]

Where did sausage fest come from? I didn't say anything about that. Tauriel wasn't in it, Legals wasn't in it, the white orc wasn't in it, from what I understand, they've completely ruined the Beornings, there was no fight of giant rock monsters, Rhadaghast was disappointing and the necromancer was crap. you're saying Hobbit books? There was only one Hobbit book.

[@sythissythes41]

See, why I said if I remember my childhood right. You prob as bly know it more than I do, but I wa s just trying to defend something I like, my bad.

[@rabidrob4210]

Nothing wrong with that, I was also doing the same, I just feel Peter Jackson is doing this more for money than to bring people enjoyment.

[@Galavya41]

..so if the enemies etc are unique to every gameplay and every gamer created event somehow influences the enemy character can somebody explain how does the dialogues( voice acting) in this game function ? If most situations are unique how can intelligent dialogues be created? Or may be they are just extremely vague lines ( so that they dont need a pretex) which continuously get recycled . ...It would be interesting to know thats all

[@Galavya41]

chiruscda Well friend what you wrote do make sense and I guess thats how the game functions ...The idea came to my mind because the narrator in this video , perhaps unintentionally, paints an incorrect picture of the game or maybe I interpreted him wrongly.Anyway thanks a lot for taking time to reply.

[@tylermioskie9099]

Galavya41 assassins creed should take some tips from the nemesis system.

[@trxndesign3331]

This game was LIT 6 years ago and still is...

[@singami465]

Generic AC-like "parkour" system? Check. Generic "press block to win" combat with QTE all over it? Check. Generic "focus vision"/"night vision"/"wright vision" so the devs can highlight what's important to even the dumbest of idiots? Check. "8x CRITICAL HIT YOU'RE SO AWESOME" popups? Check. Experience bar added for no reason? Fucking check. Completely raping the book's lore and storyline? Obvious check. Bunch of casuals in the comments denying that it's pure crap and having buyer's remorse before even buying the god damn game? Next-gen check.

[@juansimonmerlo6854]

It's a style of game, jackass, Saint's Row took stuff from GTA, but it's a style of gang games, this is a kind of Assasin game, don't cry, don't like the game then don't buy it

[@ChaseAyr]

Koza The main selling point seems to be that there are many ways to handle objectives. If the game has a unique kind of history backbone and is really as evolving as it seems to be, then I would definitely say that it could be a pretty interesting experience. I loved the AC games so to have one with this kind of "living" social order system would be really interesting. Not saying I'm going to look forward to getting it and preordering and that shit, that right is reserved for PC Dark Souls 2, but i could see the appeal that this game has. Plus who can't like the LotR universe, I don't think that a spin off using the universe should offend anyone who really loves it.

[@singami465]

***** There's nothing unique about choices and consequences. They are nice, but it doesn't matter when the rest of the game is crap. Yes, the story in the game is offensive to anyone that likes LotR - not only it rapes the lore, it seems that it's written by a 13-year old. I don't see how it can appeal to anyone above that age, unless they're seriously mentally handicapped.

[@ChaseAyr]

Koza It's an opinion dude. People who have different opinions then you are "seriously mentally handicapped?" Only someone so immature can have your viewpoint. Seeing as how you're that kind of person, it's no use trying to reason with you. Have a good day sir. Or kid? Honestly hard to tell which.

[@brendanbeast123]

Koza I'm not saying it's not an obvious rip off. I'm aware of that. I'm saying I'm intrigued by it because it's takes things from games I already enjoy, and puts it in a setting I also enjoy. I apologise for liking different games than you. Nor do I understand people like you. Why do you feel the need to belittle others because they might enjoy something you don't? Also, it's an opinion, and don't try to say I don't know what that is. Sure you don't like the game for above reasons and I'm fine with that. The problems you listed are not problems for me, and therefore I can assume it might be interesting, and maybe even fun. Go troll elsewhere. If you don't like the looks of a game because you feel it's taken ideas from other games that's fine, but don't call other people "mentally handicapped" because they don't have a problem with that. Grow up man, there's no need to be so rude to complete strangers.

[@qwer58j]

3:21 Wow the intended game was so much better than the finished product. Though I do love the finished product. But in this game that we never got, you could order your Orcs to do more than just kill other Orcs.

Crap, just bought the game impulsively after seeing this sequence...

This jump attack in 6:04. Why this wasn't added to the game lol

[@nsr4interpol]

Not gonna lie, thought all hope was lost after War in the North. This, however derivative, looks awesome :)

[@socccerr008]

people comparing this to assassins creed act like AC was the only game to implement parkour-esque movement....

[@Ruairoquai]

No, they're comparing it because this game copies the movements directly.

[@wafflingmean4477]

Ruairoquai they just need to alter the movements enough so it isn't too much like AC and make that wraith world vision less like eagle vision and is should be ok. or at least the stuff shown in this walkthrough will be ok, who knows whats in the rest of the game.

[@Valosken]

If you'd pay attention to how AC parkour looks, you'd know how similar it is to this.

[@socccerr008]

***** if you read my comment you'd see that I didnt say it had parkour. I said it had parkour-esque movement. Meaning exactly what it says....

[@smoo87]

No, the people comparing this to AC is the people who can see its a exact copy (movement wise) of AC. Hell, most elements looke like a copy of AC. And about "no generic encounters" and "new encounters every pt". Well see, if thats true then this game is not a straight up copy of AC, but at the looks of the video, its a pure copy of AC with Lotr skin. Not a "rift is a wow clone" clone, but a "ms pacman is a pacman clone" clone

[@Randomvideos-mc1fg]

Narrator needs to read us some scary stories fr

[@millygribben5267]

Looks promising if the Nemesis system is all its cracked up to be hopefully it will better than the slightly hit and miss War in the north. While it seems to take a lot from Assassins Creed and the Arkham games they are both awesome so hopefully combining that with LOTR will be a perfect combination.

[@MC-tl7oj]

Amazing invention of the Nemesis system. Loved it in SOM and SOW, I wish they made more games with it. I don't care if it was a Tom Bombadil singsong game, I just need more Nemesis system in games.

[@Fridge_Fiend]

They're making a Wonder Woman game with the nemesis system now that Warner Bro's has the rights to it. Not really sure how it'll work with her but very hyped to see it coming back

I wish the spy/assassination feature made it to the actual game as its just so cool and unique in my opinion

[@DanielYountMusic]

Looks like a great game and all... I just don't know if I want to be evil. Couldn't there be a way to choose good or evil powers? Light of Elendil to scare orcs vs the Wraith powers. Kind of like a Mass Effect/Infamous good/evil system. 

[@TheFaitout1]

The problem is that so many games have done that now (and not all very well) that it would end up feeling clichéd or just unnecessary

[@DanielYountMusic]

I understand- I would just rather choose a good or evil side especially with LOTR lore.

[@Ijisakura]

I see it to be more Chaotic Neutral than I do to be evil, in all honest.

[@orphyn09]

And yet in every game I've played..seems the game wants me to be good and yet I try to kill as many innocents as possible. :P

[@skyknight2003]

How is he evil, seems more like a neutral character to me.

[@Frandelicious1337]

It looks too good to be true, I hope it delivers! Just don't go too heavy on the QTE, instead polish some solid combat system...I don't care if it end up similat to Batman, actually, I hope it does.

[@oreotink3979]

Pause at 3:20 jesus that looks badass

[@HoloGraffx]

looks like same combat system as Assassins Creed and the Arkham series. Can anyone confirm this? Looks great besides that. I love that they care about continuity and are steering away from industry norm of only a few character models for an entire game.
