    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 translates 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.)

    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 Visually it’s extremely outdated.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    I really don’t care about outdated graphics, but unless the exploration is brilliant, I don’t see much potential content.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.

    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?

    Are they serious with this? This is a joke right? No way someone looks at that and say “yep, this looks awesome for 2023”. I’ll pay $10 for this, only because I’m a huge lotr fan, but $10 is my upper limit for what I just saw.

      Well if that gollum game is any indication, and the Amazon show, the rights owners for LOTR don’t give a fuck about how their property gets used and abused. I expect a lot more shovelware in the future.

        Guess I’ll have to enjoy what’s been made thus far, and accept that there likely won’t be anything good made in the future.
