LOTR: War in the North raging this fall

that quiver looks pretty sick :)

@sanim02: hey you're right, I'll use it on you right now. dink. :roll:

dam i wonder if youll be able to buy the theme packs later in the future like the classic character skins in mk 9

So many different versions of pre-order incentives! Can we get all of them through PSN or Live?

I hope this LotR game is fun. The trilogy has too much potential to become a lousy game like past titles.

love lotr

@lithus There is the ignore feature that you can use from your own ability to think if you hate reading yekno.:P

I like the game when it have talents,skills and wearing armor system .......cool

looks like an rpg game

Not too sure if I need a quiver, also Im having a hard time decided where to pre order, never had this happen before.

wow, 130$...damn, i want but that's abit much. imo may have to just get the normal copy

@SolidTy Played it in 2002 (rental from Blockbuster if memory serves). I like Diablo hack 'n' slash just fine. I'm looking forward to Diablo 3. I also have no doubt to SnowBlind's capabilities as a decent developer. I can name some bad dev companies and they aren't there. I can name some good companies that have made some dogs too... I just don't like "cash in" games that have nothing to do with the original or clones that add nothing to the genre. Metacritic's reviews are fine by me but that BG DA is, much like many other titles, steps back, down, and away away from a winning title for a quick buck. Once again I must state that regarding LOTR: WitN I do find that it looks great but I want to see how it gets reviewed. That Demon Forge game looked great...and it really bit.

Shaun from the beginning of the video looks like Frodo lol

I hold out for torchlight 2 instead I think. :-)

I heard if you pre-order from K-Mart you get the mystical loin cloth of doom!

$130 for the CE? At least give out the whole soundtrack. But no, you need to pre-order at Target to get more music. At least the Toys-R-Us pre-order sounds kinda cool.

@SolidTy: (golf clap) :roll:

@Taffelost: when talking about games...or anything for that matter, it's kinda hard not to compare with other titles of the same genre. @SolidTy: bravo for your enthusiasm, but you can privately message that research thesis you got going there to the guy instead of posting it all in a "comment section". Just saying.

@SolidTy No personal insult intended but you were impressed Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance??? The cash-in game with only the in-common title of the greatest CRPG of all time??? I played it after playing BG1 and 2 and was repulsed. LOTR: WitN looks interesting but I want to see some reviews first.

What's all this talk about Skyrim over WitN? You don't have to choose one over the other. I'm getting both! To be honest I'm just as excited over WitN as I am with Skyrim. I haven't heard or seen anything about the PC version of Skyrim yet, so for all I know it might be terribad for me as a PC-player only.

I just can't get excited about LoTR games anymore. Never really had a single title that stood out. And yeah...after drooling over Skyrim for the last month...nothing is going to get my attention now. (started a new game of Oblivion just to take the edge off)

warhawk is right. Skyrim is first for me

Sweet it's not turn based like Third Age was! If the combat is better than Conquest then it's deffently a game worth picking up.

Ahhh I wanted this.. but over Skyrim? Hmmmm...

Can you stab downed enemies? Is there finishing moves? Is there grapples?

Snow blind has me pumped for this.. I don't know if releasing the game closer to Skryim is the best move though.

i have to say after seeing that i'm pretty disappointed. the game looks really old and the combat looks very repetitive.

I want that game!!

wow i think this game looks great

I hope this game holds it's weight. With Skyrim coming out. It would be nice to have as many Good games (choices) by years end.

This games best bet is to be damn good and release in early September, before Gears on Sept 20th, Dark Souls in Oct and Skyrim in Nov. If this game is mediocre and releases beyond Sept, it will be in the bargain bin by February.

Arrows without a bow to shoot them with?!? Helm's Deep will fall.

This fall is going to rock so many good games

Can't Wait!!!! Why all the hate?

LOTR and SWTOR...... let the enjoyment begin!

looks like im getting it (if i get it that is) at Wal-Mart, Dwarves > Elves and Humans.

-_- great ..Battlefield3 in late October..than LOTR in November and than WWE12 in late November im full for this year..and no -_- im not getting MW2....imean MW3

this years too full for me, with: Skyrim, Rage, mw3, Battelfiled3 and a bunch more i cant remember...dont think i should spend more money on this, maybe a buy later on though when its cheaper.

I want this game to be good. I just have a bad felling it wont.

From what I have seen, it looks like a 3rd person console port. When you hit s on a pc, your character normally backs up. When you hit s on a console port, he does a 180 and is now looking at you. That is what I saw in one of the videos. If that is the case, then no thank you - either leave console lotr titles on console or make it work on a pc like any normal pc game.

I hope this is more Champions and less PS2 era Lord of the Rings. Maybe we'll get a Champions HD remake? Seems to be the fad right now.

Hopefully this game turns out good, but I really haven't seen any gameplay that says it is good.

@ GarGx1 Well said, then you have guys wondering why the soft don't sell... What happen to December/January period, they are probably hoping all the other great titles will sell out where you live at and hopefully you don't have the patience to wait so you pick up the next best thing...

maybe somtime, way too many good games coming out towards the end of this year that will capture my attention before this

I have no problem with expensive collector's editions, it is a nice option for those who are so inclined, and does no harm to those of us who will simply purchase the standard version. However, the splitting up of pre-order incentives among different retailers is extremely annoying.

130 BUCKS!!!? Screw this I'm gonna go and get a beer.

Way to split up the player base by offering in-game content like maps to only specific shops. You are only killing the longevity of your games. This game just want to Steam sale in 2 years for me. If at all.

Don't care about all the bonus junk that would only get thrown into a drawer and forgotten about. That said, I am excited for this game.

Is there really a huge market for all of this collector's edition junk? I just want the game. I don't see the appeal, I never did.
