For all you Warhammer nerds, I finally gave Mordheim a shot. Pretty fun and very challenging. I got my ass handed to me for the first few games until I realized that I needed to group up. Currently doing well with a Skaven warband. Gotta love those X-COM style games where you build an emotional attachment to your units. My frontline halberd-wielder got an infection in his leg wound and had to amputate his entire right leg off. Now he has a peg leg and can't climb or jump. Feel kinda bad for the guy y'know?

So fucking hyped for this!!!

 

[Mort Divine]

After shadow of Mordor I'm not going to get my hopes up. Likely going to be another bland aimless game.

Don't feel bad, I still pay too, just not as much as that lol... my pokedex isn't even close to full lol.

Also:



Game play reveal for Shadow of War and it looks fucking amazing.

Has anyone played the new Zelda game? The reviews for it are ridiculous, claiming it's possibly the best in the series.

I can't justify investing in a Wii U/Switch just for one game, though.

I don't get why every single Tolkien game either has to be some kind of LotR prequel or be directly based on LotR. There's so much Tolkien lore that they shouldn't have to make things up with new games.

Thus far I'd say it's possibly the best.

I'd get the switch if it wasn't sold out everywhere. Maybe this summer, I don't want to bother hunting for it.

Also kind of hesitant about this zelda. My favorite zeldas were the cartoony 2d ones:

Link to the Past
Link Between Worlds
Minish Cap
Link's Awakening

This looks like the polar opposite. They basically took Fallout 4 and made a Zelda mod. I'm not sure it will be my favorite ever.

modern gaming in a nutshell

 

[Mort Divine]

its nothing like fallout 4 outside of being 'open world'

fallout 4 is garbage anyways, botw is amazing

This opinion will change once you buy it and play it, trust me. It doesn't look realistic in the Skyrim/Fallout sense, it still looks cartoonish, it's very aesthetically Nintendo.

Honestly the game is fucking fantastic.

Does it really matter though? I mean most LOTR fans wouldn't really care what it's based off of to be honest, as long as it's a good game, which I thought the first game was pretty great.

I would love some stuff based on the first or second age. There's plenty of unique locations like Angband, Gondolin and Menegroth, and it would be nice to involve characters like Feanor, Turin or Beren/Luthien. The ring story is getting a bit watered down in pop culture.

A game set in Numenor or during one of the ancient battles like the Nirnaeth Arnoediad or the Dagor Bragollach would be pretty cool.

i used to have the text adventure LOTR game on amstrad, that was pretty good.

 

[CiG]

LotR tabletop game was pretty cool for a few minutes.
