    If I can be a little nitpicky here: In the beginning the dwarf said: “Ah, the Mines of Moria. I hope this will lead to Dwarrowdelf.” Now the Mines of Moria is just a nickname for Khazad Dum. Which translate to Dwarrowdelf.

    So basically he just said: “Ah, Dwarrowdelf. I hope this will lead to Dwarrowdelf.”

    (Alright fine, they probably refer to the actual mines of Khazad Dum. And with “Dwarrowdelf” possibly just the Pillar-hall. But that’s still wrong so I win.)

    I think that may have been the most boring gameplay demo I have ever seen. 13 minutes of fuck all

    Is that really the best gameplay they could show? Not much happened. Visually it’s extremely outdated.

    As long as they’re not trying to charge $60 it’s fine I guess. Edit: So it’s $39.99 ಠಿ⁠ヮ⁠ಠ I’ll have to wait on reviews.

    I was super excited for this game, and after watching that gameplay video, removed it from my wishlist. Was really hoping for a good moria survival game, but all the mechanics in this video look subpar.

    I really don’t care about outdated graphics, but unless the exploration is brilliant, I don’t see much potential content. Combat looked ‘hack and slash’ without proper mechanism.

      Yeah, I’d accept this if it were a DS game. Not on major consoles in 2023.

    What’s with all these crappy LOTR games? It looks so boring I won’t even try it.

    Jesus, this thing looks like a switch game yet still struggles with getting an acceptable framerate. And the animations… Do the devs know we’re well past 6th gen?

    I can see it being loved by the certain communities, like deep rock and such, but come on, you have the biggest and most popular fantasy world ever made and this is what you get out of it?

      The company that owns the licensing to lotr is currently in a phase of will license the ip out to anyone mode. So whilst you might think there’s someone out there making decisions on what to do with the property, it’s more that a bunch of low budget companies are asking for the license and getting it for cheap
