    This game is brilliant and should be treated as such. The player slowly descents into madness and turns into a screaming creature that talks to itself in self hatred, just like Gollum.

    In regards to the question of "how they got the license in the first place," the answer is pretty simple (and depressing). While Christopher Tolkien was still alive, he used to be really strict with the kinds of things the Tolkien Estate was allowed to sell licenses to, but as soon as he died, whoever took over from him just started licensing it to whoever wanted to give them money. This game (and the Amazon show...) were literally made over Tolkien's son's dead body, because he would never have said yes while he was alive.

    • @Prince__Teclis
      @Prince__Teclis 10 місяців тому +129

      I think whoever is in charge now just wants to get as much out of the licence now as possible over the next couple decades before the series becomes public domain.

      The whole game's development is weird, too. Daedalic Games has never made any game like this, before. The real question is HOW DID THEY GET THE LICENSE!? It doesn't make sense. They've made some small scale platformers, sure. So why the fuck are they making a 3D LotR game? Somebody at the Tolkien Estate approved this, and I hope they feel awful for it. Give the license to a developer that can handle that kind of expectation, not to mention the development, itself. I do not look forward to another waste of the LotR license be it from Daedalic or another studio.

    The sad thing is, I have seen people trying to defend this game. Claiming that its just a small indie team, so we should cut them some slack. Two problems with that: One, we live in a world where a single person can make a masterpiece like ULTRAKILL or Stardew Valley with basically zero budget, so a team with a budget of any size making this atrocity is inexcusable. Two, they are charging "AAA" prices for this game, so we need to judge as harshly as a "AAA" game.
    In the end, if it looks like shit, plays like shit, and runs like shit, no matter how you slice it, its gonna be shit.

    I’d be interested in a game about Sméagol’s corruption into Gollum and his slow descent into madness. It’s an aspect of the world of Hobbit and LOR that I don’t think is explored enough and I think it would make a very interesting story. They could even work the corruption into the gameplay by making Gollum move slower as the Ring weighs down on him until he can’t stand up anymore and making Gollum enter a kind of withdrawal period if he’s separated from the Ring for too long that gradually gets longer as the Ring corrupts him more and more.
    Instead, we got this broken mess that made us all feel like Gollum by punishing and torturing us until we went insane.

      Comparing this to Ride to Hell is tricky in that they both have things that make one superior over the other.
      LOTR Gollum's "interesting" art design and the lore it's based on immediately make it better in one way, yet Ride to Hell actually allows you to interact with the world instead of having you move through level after level, even if done poorly.
      Both are painful to look at it. They both take the term boring to new heights.

      Ride to hell is at least hilarious with things... like 'electric fence, gotta get past that' and the Main Character decides to get a truck... and crash it into the POWERPLANT supplying power to the fence... and then return to just crawl up on the rocks nearby and jump over the fence that way... completely negating the damn need for the truck, dealing with the electric fence to begin with, etc. XD

    This had such a bad premise from the start: Of all the amazing characters in LotR, why would you want to play as the anemic crackhead whose sole purpose was being hated by everybody? Except for Gandalf who pitied him, I suppose. Wurmtongue is the only character who is a worse fit for his own game. How about this: A game about Smeagol as a hobbit, where you cover up the murder of his best friend before going through his slow descent into madness like a psychological horror game. How awesome could that have been? But this...? 🤣

    • @ryanm.8720
      @ryanm.8720 11 місяців тому +2

      Aside from Gandalf; the people that didn't hate Gollum were Dobby (according to the 2003 MTV Movie Awards) and Harvey (according to the recent episode of 'Keeping up with the Daedalics').
      Humorously, Gollum hates both of them (unlike Smeagol); stating that "Dobby's a ____ing ____!", and denouncing Harvey as a "nasty blue rabbit!".

    Well, these kind of games will keep existing if people are stupid enough to buy on pre order, and people are stupid enough.
    Cristopher Tolkien was right when he said he didn't want the legacy of his father to be used by the Cinema, or any industry. They just take advantage of what a genius created and make shitty products with little to no effort involved, they milk the fans and destroy Tolkien's legacy in the process. If you want to expand on the lore, go read The Silmarillion, Beren and Luthien, The fall of Gondolin, Unfinished Tales, The Children of Hurin, etc.

    • @cleanerben9636
      @cleanerben9636 11 місяців тому +22

      usually it goes, in no particular order:
      -no clear direction or end goal for the product
      -high developer turnover
      -no publisher oversight
      -QA not even being an afterthought
      -hands-off management or conversely poor/aggravating management
      -inexperienced developers
      -inflexible launch window
      I heard that Daedelic had a lot of staff leave either before or during this games development so that's probably the main factor. It'd still fall on management for not hiring enough capable staff and/or not allowing new staff to get accustomed to the systems they would be using(little to no training) yet expecting to meet goal markers for the project all the same.
