Thanks for suffering through this, so we don't have to. Daedalic isn't a bad studio, but they definitely underestimated this project in every possible aspect. You don't just jump from original 2D point n click IPs to 3D platforming, not without considerable team expansion prior. This game was completely mismanaged beginning to end. Don't go into cardiac arrest filming the review, Joe! 😂😂😂
5:10:17 Best Part, 5:16:00 Second Best Part, also Ride to Hell at least gave you guns and knives and let you shoot people, and it had some fun-bad voice acting. This game on the other hand... lmaoao
@@AD3SPG eh, atleast I had some fun with big rig truckers as a kid. I doubt anyone is having fun with this game as a kid (I think it's big rig truckers right? Maybe it's a different title, idk, it was for the original Xbox)
I hate to say I've been waiting anxiously for this upload LOL. I wouldn't blame you if you don't believe me saying this, but you guys playing through this game has had me laughing out WAY too loud for hours straight. Thank you guys for suffering, so we others don't have to! :)
Can’t wait for the review! Wait, is there a second play through for letting the bird go free???? 😂 Blah, watched it at the end. Grats on finishing that. You guys look like you need something fun to play. This was difficult to even watch
Joe you're hurting yourself. You're tired of it we get it but power through it and finish the mission. You made the promise so you complete it for the angry army.
Wow! To put EA greed to shame, have 16x more bugs than Bethesda, be even more boring than whatever Ubisoft can come up with, have more inconsequential choices than Bioware, make a launch officially worse than No Man's Sky and screwing fans worse than Blizzard and Disney? All in one single game?! Now that takes talent guys! And bear it with me... They be makin a sequel.
I cannot wait for the follow up, there is mentions that they got license for a Gollum 2. I hope you will play that as well if that comes out! This game is gollum/10
Your a man of your word Joe, watching the first part of this i thought you would tap out later on for certain but it was worth all the effort clearly lol
1:21:23 I hope that quote makes the review. Also what kills me is you know their is some die hard Lord of the Rings fan who loves all things LotRs will think this is game of the year.
thank you for putting yourself through this joe so we don't have to. i'm watching these streams on youtube so you don't have to suffer alone. but my god how did no one look at this during quality assurance and say we should just cancel this game rather than release it
Next time on Gollum 2 - Follow Froddo and Sam around doing minor chores along the way such as collecting Sam's lost items for his cooking pot, B Picking Froddo up everytime he falls over did anyone tally how often Froddo falls on his butt through the Trilogy its alot, I watched the Movies with my Nan one night it was Comedy Gold hearing how Frustrated she got with Froddo like he really is useless xD.
1:29:00 You joked about that the game will make you play the same chapter over and over again so much it finally happened 🤣🤣🤣 1:36:35 You were lucky, I have read it that for some, restarting the level did not work either. 3:19:19 LMAO I'm dead 🤣🤣🤣 4:49:40 🤣🤣🤣 5:08:01 🤣🤣🤣 5:18:48 🤣🤣🤣
Why didnt they make an interesting game where Golum is tracking Bilbo to try and find the ring, where you go to different areas of middle earth and have the option (kind of like Dishonoured) where you can choose to fight or stealth your way through scenarios. Throughout the game you attempt to escape the agents of Mordor as they look for you whie tracking the ring, but eventually you get captured and thats the end of the game (after hours and hours of exciting play). Or they could make a travesty.....oh they did.
I'm not only excited for review, but also, if any extra dlc comes out that involves scrubbing toilets after an orc takes a dump in it, then I will die with a smile on my face.
I was so hyped when i first heard about this game...then i watched the trailer and knew it was going to end BADLY. On top of ROP being a colossal kick in the fish and chips we really need a knockout LOTR game. Heck i would take a Two Towers or ROTK remaster!
This game made squad to argue with themselves. The frustration, boredom, cries and rage, yea...!! Is this what is a good game? Hell no, I even got a little depressed by watching this game. But I managed throught, by the sheer willpower of 2 Joes and Alex whom suffered more. So thank you, for saving my money but not mentality XD
Hard to say, if the game can be somewhat played ina technical level will get at least a 1/10. 0/10 will be a game that can't even load nor work at all. But it is a definetly worse game than ride to hell and sonic freaking riders. And that's a fucking achievement
@@Quitze97ABM its borderline. either way the quality should have looked at it and said let's just cancel it. we can't release something like this. its disgraceful to tolkien's work and its inexcusable a game that bad is allowed to released in 2023
Joe has said that a 0/10 is a literally unplayable game. One that keeps crashing that it is near impossible to finish it and maybe even bricking your console. Gollum, even with how bad it is, is not an unplayable game.
@@akmal94ibrahimso a 0/10 would be something like "Big Rigs", "Action 52", "Crazy Bus", anything by Gilson. B.Pontes or some of the shovelware released on Steam?
This makes no sense to me since I really only have knowledge from Rings of Power and Jackson trilogy. But why the heck is he strangling the elf lady who has been nice to him and I just can't follow the plot it's so bleh
I hate to say it... this is more boring than Desert Bus. Ride to Hell has this insane protagonist who's boring but like... it's NOWHERE AS BAD OF GOLLUM. AGAIN, who thought making a game base on this ugly, selfish killer was a good idea?! It's either jumping, hiding or saying/doing stuff that's disturbing like killing a bug. It is SO boring that Alex and OJ did like what, 1 and a half hours of gameplay, made little progress because this game sucks before AngryJoe shows up to see the rest of this BORING game. HOW MUCH IS THIS?! It's worst than a scam! This game deserves the title of "WORST GAME EVER".
On one Hand Gollum had more budget than Ride to Hell, on the other hand you Mr. AJ ended with mental issues after finishing Ride to Hell.....so, I dare to say that..... is worse or the worst game of hystory!
I never criticize anything for being ugly because at least they put a lot of care to the gross ugly character design (also it’s fun to draw!) Not only are these characters ugly but why can’t they be cartoony maybe cel shaded the character so that way it will be ugly but pleasing and interesting to look at!
It's weird... I've been watching... and I would not install this game even for free. It has a depressing vibe - and is by NO means worthy of a Triple-A price.
Imagine being a kid who loves playing video games and someone tells you one day in future you're going argue about not playing a game because it's so bad 😂
Games are supposed to be fun and exciting. Imagine 3 people playing your game and the whole thing is just a frustrating and horrible experience for them from start to end. You have one job devs just one.
Orcs not seeing Gollum hiding 2 inches away under a table is one thing, but for all these elves to be just as sense blind is even more ridiculous. That's bad game design in another way than controls,story,performance,lore and everything already bad. And how everything conveniently has things to hold and climb, even wall running things all marked already... just why.
jeez, this game really needs some coffee, or at the very least more background music. i don't think i've ever seen a AAA game so consistently low-energy throughout, it really feels like they put all the budget into the level designs and rushed through everything else.
This game is worse then Ride to Hell, 100% at least ride to hell wasn't on "next gen tech" you could use weapons and at least ride to hell went by a lot faster then gollum as you could ride a motorcycle(shit-like) but it kept the pace from feeling like a massive slog-fest, also the voice acting was bad funny not just bad bad. not to mention all the technical issues gollum has given you guys and many other people. I'd rank it an easy 0/10 as it didn't even function properly and tanks powerful PCs. 1/10 if you can get through the whole game without game breaking bugs or the hardware running at like 2 frames a second making it unplayable.
Wait correct me if im wrong but does this game really have a achievement for completing it without dying omg the poor sods that will actually try and earn that i pitty so much.
Well😵💫🤯🤮...You made it to the end guys 👏👏well done 🍀🍀 it's over 🎉🎉🍾🍾💯💯 honestly guys thanks for suffering through that so myself and the gaming community dont have to 🙏🙏🍀🍀 I know it sounds bad but even though this game... thing...whatever joke this is, you guys made it fun 😁 why we love this channel 🙏🙏🍀🍀 keep up the good work 😎

LOL! The end was great... so unsatisfying. "It's not over?!?!"
Btw Joe I recommend you play Pizza Tower sometime it will ease your sanity since Pizza Tower is a great game
Press F to pay respects.
This is the first game I've seen Alex and OJ look like they're at a day job. They looked like they had more fun with Gas Station Simulator.
lmao I was about to say the same thing XD
Gas Station Simulator was quite fun though
DLC soon to come about Gollum sweeping the floors of Mordor 😂😂
They already have DLC for Elven Language Voice Overs and a LORE Compendium
5:10:17 Best Part, 5:16:00 Second Best Part, also Ride to Hell at least gave you guns and knives and let you shoot people, and it had some fun-bad voice acting. This game on the other hand... lmaoao
"Lost the Game" Studios. Boy, that's the statement of the year. (5:22:20)
I was expecting a scene where Gollum puts on more clothes just to have a grind session with an orc.
I loved how after Joe killed the bird he’s like “Aww that made me sad” in the most apathetic tone 😂
2:37:07
man the arguments 😂
Imagine you're in hell and the torture method is for you to play Gollum for eternity.
To be honest playing any game and none other for eternity would be torture.
I love how at the end of this the gamers who hated this game so much took their anger out on the bird than later regretted killing the bird.
"Could this be worse than Ride to Hell?"
Yes.
(:
That or big rigs lol 😂.
No it's equal
@@AD3SPG eh, atleast I had some fun with big rig truckers as a kid. I doubt anyone is having fun with this game as a kid (I think it's big rig truckers right? Maybe it's a different title, idk, it was for the original Xbox)

Corporate commander must be laughing right now😂😂😂
Especially with lore being pay walled. YOOOOOUUU NEED IT! 😉👍🏼
@@niconick2551 literally every streamer and youtuber looking to review the game or get more clicks.
1:27:00 When Angry Joe realizes the hard truth that the entire level has to be restarted. 😢
Edit: 5:15:00 So funny! Get that bird!
This game makes me respect the Mordor games 10x more
Agree
I love how they are arguing who should be playing it none of them wants to :D
That is funny
Could this be the first 0/10 game?! Cannot WAIT for this review 😅
@@DragonSlicer It is actually close to unplayable in its original release state
It’s going to be the new Godzilla!
It better not get anything more than a 1.
I mean it runs (now) so its atleast a 1 out of 10
@@brokenthunder4163 how long has it been since Angry Joe conquered a game that bad
if someone's kid misbehaves instead of taking away their video games make them play lord of the rings gollum as punishment
I hate to say I've been waiting anxiously for this upload LOL. I wouldn't blame you if you don't believe me saying this, but you guys playing through this game has had me laughing out WAY too loud for hours straight. Thank you guys for suffering, so we others don't have to! :)
There is now a game in the world where you can say “Gollum, the repulsive obsessive violent freak, gets cucked” and that will never not be funny
Can’t wait for the review!
Wait, is there a second play through for letting the bird go free???? 😂
Blah, watched it at the end. Grats on finishing that. You guys look like you need something fun to play. This was difficult to even watch
Joe you're hurting yourself. You're tired of it we get it but power through it and finish the mission. You made the promise so you complete it for the angry army.
It looks like this game is literally taking years off their lifespan, I would be surprised if this game scores even a 1/10 on the review.
The game review is gonna be wild, the force is strong with this one.😂😂😂
5:10:33 Ooh, that's even bigger than "Aya outta yer mind"!
They didn't bother fixing the credits because they never thought anyone would finish the game
I think they need to add these Angry Joe commentaries into the game to make it more fun to play... if anyone ever plays this game.
😅Love the title. Thanks for playing this so I don't have to. Your suffering is greatly appreciated.
I really want to say thanks to Alex, otherwise the 1:36:00 bug would become an absolute nightmare for both AJ and audience 😂
What bug?
Finally - another episode of best game to watch OJ AJ & Alex play this year xD
This makes me appreciate the old Tomb Raiders even more
I love how joe gets hyped for the boss battle only for it to end up being an off camera cut scene. BRUHHHH!!!!
Wow! To put EA greed to shame, have 16x more bugs than Bethesda, be even more boring than whatever Ubisoft can come up with, have more inconsequential choices than Bioware, make a launch officially worse than No Man's Sky and screwing fans worse than Blizzard and Disney?

Sounded absolutely drained and defeated by the end of this video 😂😂😂
Thank you Joe, Alex, and OJ for suffering this game for me! Everything I’m in a bad mood I just play this and it’s instantly better!
Even the credits is framedropping. Lol. That's new.
Can't believe you guys actually managed to make it through the entire game.
this game is giving ride to a hell a run for its money
Gollum is my goty, thanks for playing it through!
Gollum does FIND the group in the Mines of Moria, but he MEETS them in that rocky mountain place later.

There are no fully clothed Gollum sex scenes, it can't possibly be worse than ride to hell.

This game isn't lord of the rings.
when is the gollum review going live ?
OMG YES!! Thank you!!!

yEs
The final boss battle is the whole game, I wonder how can it be to speedrun the game, first to uninstall wins I guess.
I hope you guys rate this a 0/10 this game just does not deserve a 3 or 4 even if they patch it.
