Everything about this game is baffling. The funkopop character designs, the incomprehensible series of events, the 5 FPS physics simulations, the high schooler level writing, lit candles in caves Just baffling, this is like Tommy Wiseau's Lord of the Rings
People said far cry primal was ass when it came out. I played it a few months back for the first time and it was actually a lot of fun, I found myself easily immersed in it. Who knows what retrospective will do for this game.
On the one hand yes, I've had my own experiences with something like that. But it is possible for something to just be bad, or for something to be doomed from conception.
@Orion Poore true, and unlike FC Primal; "Gollum" will likely stay bad as few people will want to complete (let alone play) a game with gollum as the playable protagonist.
I'm about to put WAY more thought into this game than it deserves. I'm fascinated by bad games and got they got to be so bad. Like I truly believe no dev wants to pump out garbage, even if their corporate overlords command them to. That said, I did some digging. Apparently this dev only makes point and click games, I can totally see it in the game play. Everything about this game screams a point and click that someone tried to turn 3D like the companion mode. I think the game would have been better off it kept the point and click elements and played more like "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream". That game, did your item searching, dialog choices, and a form of a morality system, basically everything this game looks like it's trying to do.
I think if you can somehow ignore Gollum/Smeegol and look at some of the cinematic shots of the environment, you'll find that certain scenery in the game looks really cool. But the flaws with the game are just too much lol
I haven't gotten around to watching Lord of the Rings yet, and it's leaving me pretty confused about the lore in this game. They keep mentioning this "Baggins" character, but they never really explain who or what it is. And what's the deal with Gollum and his "my precious" line? Is he talking about himself or something else? Oh, and speaking of Gollum, is he a golem? Also, there's a huge spider and a massive lava eye thing that just show up out of nowhere without any explanation. I'm not sure how I can get invested in the story when it's not explaining these elements very well.
Daedalic Entertainment, the developer of the disastrously reviewed The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, will be shutting down its internal game development team. Instead, Daedalic will focus solely on game publishing and marketing. lol
All I can think of is Riddick and how that game is based entirely in a prison and yet it's SO good. Then you have to play this wimpy, loser who just backs off from any confrontation.. God this games sucks.
The story is bad, the gameplay is repetitive, the designs are ugly, the whole idea is just dumb. WHO THE HECK WANTS TO PLAY LOTR AS GOLLUM OF ALL CHARACTERS?!?! That's like playing Star Wars as Jar jar Binks.
This game is aaaaassssss!
😂😂😂
Pure, buns 😂
It's so "HEINOUSLY ANUS!"
❤❤❤❤😂😂❤❤😂😂❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Holy shit idk how I commented that lol
Only the Jaboody show can make a bad game fun to watch
The company mostly made adventure games. I just realized Golum is setup like an adventure game.

Wow, dude. This is like a movie licensed game from *2006.*
I had this video going in the background and I legit couldn't tell if a voice was justin or actually in the game
Think about how many of us can do a decent Gollum impression
And this guy gets the gig 😅
I will admit the "self debate" feature is a good idea for a Gollum game.
GOLLUM OF THE YEAR YESSIRRRR
I want someone to mod Diddy Kong in this game so bad lmao
And always have the happy bonus music from dk 64 playing in the background.
I honestly can't believe I'm actually 4 hours in. Only with you guys would I watch this game this long.
The dlc sounds like a 11 year olds videogame kickstarter perk
I need to get my PS2 out of the attic to play this one. Time to clean some dust.
This game’s existence just pisses on Tolkien’s grave.
Dude i had this game on my nokia what a callback
I can’t believe I considered buying this game
This was pure gold.
Never forget the Gollum dub it out😂
that mobile game about being a tiger and avenging your tiger family is more immersive.
This game is ASSSE!!
These loading screens are brutal💀💀💀
1:54:00 almost killed me. This is the best worse game ever.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!!!????
Hope you feel better soon Pops
Should've been a Gollum dating sim.
I would be sad if they didn't continue this game. But, I also wouldn't blame them 😂

You know it's bad when it overshadows the good parts.
1:12:30 is my favorite part. I borderline died 😂😂😂😂
I nearly just pissed myself…. They’re like don’t worry guys it’s guna be good now. Wanhhhhhhhhh as Gollum falls through the floor.
6:53 lol. I was also interested in the game until I saw the reviews
For how boring this game was, this was a hilarious vod!
STREAM GANG WE LOVE YOU❤
I fell asleep watching this and one thing that echoed in my dreams every time was "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS"
Pop's how dare you insult Andy Serkis!
I beat this game yesterday but the bugs didn't make things easy...
Pharphis and I laughed so hard at this. Loved it!
I really wish AVGN would cover this 😂😂

Read the books
The lore goes deeeeeeep
I need more of this, the game is ass but you guys make 10000% better
1:45:20 😂 Prismatic Owl predicted the AI apology
When you bringing Cornelius Higgins back?!
WE DON'T WANT TO WAIT FOR GONGS, DO WE
WE'RE RIGHT HERE IN DA TOWAH
SO CLOSE TO DA BRIDGE
Can’t wait for the Gollum movie
Zoomer Gollum with hair looks like young mongrel Simba with bad mange.
God whyyyyyy!!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooo
1:11:57 Came here from the best of 2023, Lewie farting had me dying
It's like if Moe, Larry, and Shemp some how combined their DNA into a weird mutant baby.
I think it looks ok
DEES NUTS 😂GOCHEEEEEE
So glad the title isn't "Guess the Gollum".
02:18:05
From the get go I thought this game looked fucking stupid and boy was I not wrong.
Top 3 games of all time 🤪
1:16:06 Nostalgia Critic and AVGN combo?
Bleached flour AND red40 combined into a bun for more carcinogenic product. I am impressed!
Let's get freaky 🎉
Lol got an ad for this game while watching this.
We need Avgn on this asap😂😂
Producer Micheal approves
Still better than the rings of power….hell open heart surgery whilst awake would be better than that shite 😂🤦🏻♂️
Imagine getting ratioed by Gollum

Lmao damn that's humiliating
1:19:21 my DOBBY plays this game
3:11:10... well...
This is more like a crappy 360 game, wouldn't shame the PS2 like that. it's got that boring brownness of a 7th gen game too.
IM GOLLUMING ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!
8:15 hahahahaha
3:24:41 what did he just call her? Lmao
"All the jumping" is exactly why I always hated the good of war games, Urban Reign FOR THE LIFE!!!!!
They broke the fuck out of this game😂
Why are the graphics this bad? Was this a 2006 project????
Why is this game.
So was it glitched at the end?
I heard this game sucks I'm glad is true
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
😂
"this game is a55"
56:03 This. THIS, right here, is why you don’t fucking homeschool your kids.
All I can think of is Riddick and how that game is based entirely in a prison and yet it's SO good. Then you have to play this wimpy, loser who just backs off from any confrontation.. God this games sucks.
The story is bad, the gameplay is repetitive, the designs are ugly, the whole idea is just dumb.
WHO THE HECK WANTS TO PLAY LOTR AS GOLLUM OF ALL CHARACTERS?!?! That's like playing Star Wars as Jar jar Binks.
I think it's more like playing as Salacious B. Crumb and you have to sneak around Jabba's palace doing menial tasks.
How would you bring to life such a complicated character?
Hmmm?....OK, shutup and watch.
