Yeah i know it's sounds crazy, and i already know all the stellar reviews Uncharted 3 is getting, but i've been watching tons of gameplay footage on Youtube of LOTR and i'm lovin' every video i see.

Truth be told it is one of my favorite genres, and i know i'll eventually get Uncharted 3, but i can't afford both and i already pre-paid for Uncharted 3, so i think i'll just switch it to the LOTR this tuesday.

Why do you say that ? At least LOTR will be something different in the action rpg genre. Do you really think they'll be much of a difference with this latest version of Uncharted, yes it has gorgeous graphics, a new story, but you'll still be going from place to place finding artifacts, shooting down enemies, maybe the usual betrayal, and in the end you'll kill the bad guy, get the girl and find the treasure....so whats different ?

I think you need to read and watch more on Uncharted. Lord of the Rings will get a price drop well before Uncharted 3 will so you may as well wait and get LOR later. U3 offers a lot of content and multiplayer has greatly expanded.

Personally I wouldn't switch it's kinda a gamble. I say that because Uncharted 3 has gotten good scores from critics and users, where as LOTR has virtually nothing rated yet. Just do what you think is best.

You guy's have obviously never heard or forgot about Snowblind studios, the creators of such mega hit titles as the Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath series. This game will be a hit, maybe it won't get the accolades that Uncharted 3 will, but it will be a great game.

You just spoiled Uncharted 2's entire "story" in one sentence. :lol:

Well except.... [spoiler] you end up with NO treasure at the end. :P [/spoiler]

Gameplay and the scripted events were great, but the story was garbage.

Don't really care much for that LOTR game though. Looks kinda mediocre tbh....

Hey whatever, you think what you want, i'm not going to bash Uncharted, but honestly i don't like playing online shooters and so after i beat Uncharted 3 in 20 hours or so then what, i won't play multiplayer because i don't like it, so i'll be stuck with a $65 game i don't wanna play again.

If i'm going to play a 20 hour campaign, i'd rather it be a genre i love enough to play over and over again...There's a reason i don't still have my Uncharted 1 & 2 games, because i beat the single player and i'm done, but i still have my Oblivion game from 5 years ago, and i just played it today.

I'm sure i'll play through LOTR a couple of dozen times too.

If I was in your position I'd do that too. Snowblind is a fantastic studio and they've got resources from WB to work with. I have no doubts that LotR will be great.

Yeah, I think you should. LOTR is looking really good. Uncharted 2 kind'a sucked. I don't expect much more out of U3. You should get the PC version of LOTR; it's be cheaper, and it'll probably be far superior than any console version.

Ya but they make these games with bad ideas. When are they going to make a free roaming LOTR game? Its past due for one. I hate how linear their games are, its just no excuse for good game standards now days.

Im not defending U3 because quite frankly i think these games are way over hyped. They are all short, and I wasnt impressed by the multiplayer in U3.

uncharted will not flop because it is so popular, and LOTR might flop. It all depends on how they make the game.

A 20 hour campaign would be incredible. It's probably around 6 - 8 hours though, yeah.

I never thought the Uncharted series was that good anyway, I'm waiting for Uncharted 3 to drop in price myself.

Just watched gameplay footage of LOTR... Wow, it looks awful. lol

Finally a few people agree with me, it was beginning to look like an Uncharted 3 only club in here, funny thing is theres so much more to do in ANY rpg game as far as leveling up, finding loot, duel wielding weapons, a bigger variety of creatures and enemies in general, plus conjuring spells and a certain strategy required when playing 4 player co-op. Shooters whether there 3rd or first person are all the same, shoot a group of people , move to another area, find some ammo and guns, shoot more people, watch a cut scene, shoot some more people, and in Uncharted's case do some platforming. Seriously you would think less gamers would succumb to all Uncharted 3's hype and prefer a game with more of a variety as far as environments, quests and leveling up attributes, the RPG genre in general has much more to do.

I think it could be a great game and if your in the mood go for it. However like other people are saying it might be on sale soon. I plan on buying when it's 20-30$ and that might not take long.

I want both, so I can't hate either way. Uncharted 1&2 are two of my favorite games available on PS3. Yet, I love RPGs so it whatever. The only difference is, Uncharted 3 will be my first non-downloadable game purchase in nearly 8 months, come Tuesday I'll be playing it. No telling when or if I'll be playing War in the North.

I agree with everyone else...bad bad move. Dont get me wrong, LOTR looks good (for a lotr game) but id wait for some reviews and hands on...It can be an 8-9 type of game or a 5, it wouldnt suprise me.

My problem with War in the North is just how "average" it looks overall - bland environments and uninspired combat, to name a few. I love Lord of the Rings, but this game reminds me of Conquest, and that's not a good thing.

Not flaming you man, but I really loath these kinds of threads, this isnt facebook.

If we can 'convince' you to get one the other then you werent really serious about either of them.

The point of post is, its your money, Do whatever the hell you want.

Hey TC ignore most of these folks. Do what you think is best and honestly don't get uncharted until it's $20 or something.. Its not worht 60 lol. I think it is a wise decision to cancel your pre-order and play LOTR because you seem very hungry for some rpg games.

EDIT: Actually seriously, no game this generation is worth 60 bucks..but i would wait a month before buying LOTR as most people are saying it will price drop soon.

It's just a good topic to make conversation. We're supposed to talk about weither it's a good idea. And I mean really dude ? you have a problem with this but not the dozens of nonsensical threads where people simply make some argument about one game/system being better than another.
