I was worried about the hobbits being too nice but after watching some gameplay, y’all nailed the dialogue! One thing I would like to see though is the lighting adjusted so that shadows are stronger. I think it would really help things not look so flat.
The art style is really perfect for this setting! All I wish it had was some better lighting. Especially in interiors where it does not look like the light is coming from light sources, it is just always bright.
I’ll never forget that moment in my adolescence, when I first watched Richard Taylor describe the Watcher’s mouth as “a giant sphincter,” while pantomiming a sphincter with his hands. Changed my life forever. ❤
I wanted it, wanted it real bad. But the lack of voices and more importantly, the lack of multiplayer just makes this feel like a sophisticated mobile game for me. Loving the resurgence of Lotr lately, especially in gaming. But this one going to be a pass for me, sadly.
Can you please explain? I'm really not understanding a lot of the comments that say this or call it 'woke' I really thought this was just a game about hobbits (albeit not the best game, or even close to what they promised us...)
good morning, I wanted to know if a demo version is downloadable or in early access even in Italy? I wanted to understand more closely the game mechanics.... although true that from the trailers you can see well the appearance of the cozy games. just not to wait until March 25, 2025. thanks
Can I get Early access? I would love to do some videos on this game! The Shire is like my favorite fictional place so honestly this would be so epic :)))))
It's not yours though. Plenty of people like cosy games and will enjoy this. If it's not for you, move on. If you're complaining because of character skin tone, you can F all the way off because the fandom doesn't want you.
@@SM-fi1be Ummm...the fandom has spoken with the rejection of anything DEI in 2024. We're sick of it. Wallets closed to anything ESG/DEI/SBI related. Time for you to go away now. "Message" rejected.
@@SM-fi1be what williestrogue said. Also there was a detailed explanation of what hobbits looked like in the books and yes there were no black hobbits just as there were no black elves. Also looking at the like/dislike ratio both on this vid and on the xbox channel's vid the fandom doesn't want YOU. They could've just as easily made a seperate IP that also has halflings with a beautiful countryside. Most people would've still made the connection but at least they wouldn't be smearing the lotr IP. you can f all the way off.
@@wiliestrogue2924would you please explain to me how this is DEI? I have not been following this game as closely as I should have, I suppose. Also what is - Esg & Sbi? I know Google exists but I rather hear it from someone who clearly knows what they're talking about, Google can be uh.. _biased_ sometimes. This is a genuine question, I'm not trying to troll or anything of the like. Thanks in advance ~
I realy need this game it looks amazing 😍😍 but I have a question can you romance characters?? It would be fun to so via the dinner party option🙈 want liefde gaat door de maag❤
Really, the graphics are from Weta!!! That's bad. The facial expressions of the characters are of the lowest standard nowadays, let's see how the final product will look like... But I actually expected incredible graphics from Weta.
@@hault360 Because games are a simulation of real life and the most realistic immersion is the most important. If a producer says he prefers stylization, it's because he doesn't have enough money for photorealistic immersive graphics. Simple.
Perfect release date...we can live our best Hobbit life as we commemorate the destruction of the One Ring!
I love the cooking mechanic and how versatile decorating is!!! I'm looking forward to trying it out!!! :D

It still says releases 2024 in the Nintendo E shop so I hope that gets updated so I can pre-order this

Looks pretty cute!
"Tolkien's books always as our guide". I am sure the Professor would disagree with your choices...
Hallo zusammen. Bin so gespannt auf das Game. Wird man es vorab in einer Early testen dürfen ? Liebe Grüße
graphics from the 1990s ???
Qual jogo do super Nintendo ou PS1 tinha esses gráficos? 😂😂😂
can't wait to play as legendary black Hobbit.
if we can customize our character skin tone, you know what i think ,i will roll a black hobbit made new legend for it LOL
So if a black person who likes a lotr wants to play as a hobbit, they shouldn't be allowed to make a character that looks like themself?
Stunning and brave.

Seems so sweet, can’t wait !
What in the DEI is this? Must be a parody!
This game is against all men.😊
What does that even mean??

Stop destroying beloved IP's and MAKE YOUR OWN!!

"Tales of the Shire"? Not my shire.
Lol bye then
Can't wait to enjoy this ❤
This game looks like it came straight out of 2002. What are these graphics? Ohhhh this looks bad!
Ikr looks like a mobile game, I'm probably still going to play it I just hope it isn't too expensive 😅
Feels like Harry Potter and the Sorcerors Stone (the game I mean)
It's called stylistic. Not everything has to be photo realistic
Oh Creepy Eyes Simulator is back
I realy need this game it looks amazing 😍😍 but I have a question can you romance characters?? It would be fun to so via the dinner party option🙈 want liefde gaat door de maag❤
LOL 😂😂😂😂😂 amazing lotr game hahahahahahahahahahha
This game looks like trash.
😍😍😍
I thought of this week I'm not buying this game I'm not waiting until 2025 to play How stupid let me get this thing off my wish list
Looks pretty bad, just play Lord of the rings online as a Hobbit race and you will get your dose.
You don't know what cozy games are, do you? Lol
Oh yea, i want a cozy home building, cooking, and gardening game, but I should just go play a dead mmo with none of those features instead, right?

looks terrible lmao
looks more Japanese than Middle Earth
Looking forward to the DEI nitpicking and inevitable allegations against the developers and fans
Looking forward to the dumpster fire that warms my heart. Never go full Concord. DEI = DOA
Even if the story and gameplay were great, these childish cartoon graphics are awful! Why not normal, photorealistic graphics?
Why does everything have to be photo realistic? Can nothing be stylistic anymore?
@@hault360 Because games are a simulation of real life and the most realistic immersion is the most important. If a producer says he prefers stylization, it's because he doesn't have enough money for photorealistic immersive graphics. Simple.
WOW, it is another game made for "modern audience", just not suitable for me, wont buy it thanks
what's "modern audience" about it? just looks like a generic harvest moon clone with a hobbit skin?
DEI = Wallets closed. Never go full Concord.
