Maybe it's "modern art" and we just don't understand it?

General knowledge has said that console wars are fought with publishers but they are won by developers.

[–]Brandonspikes 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I wonder when people learn the difference between publisher and developer

[–]MrOmniWave 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Blasphemy! They're one in the same.

/s obviously

[–]yekiMikey 59 ポイント60 ポイント  (27子コメント)

I still play this game from time to time, absolutely amazing. I wish they continued with it from 2

[–]Blmlozz 22 ポイント23 ポイント  (18子コメント)

Nah, Sega should do a total war LoTR. Although, shadow of war is looking awfully close to BoME's spiritual successor anyway.

[–]MerpBaller[S] 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (8子コメント)

OMG that would be awesome. Just have more default factions instead of DLC factions like they did in Warhammer.

[–]montysgreyhorse 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (5子コメント)

How would they make money if they gave more then 5 factions it of the gate.

[–]Blmlozz 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I don't mind paying for factions but that elvish DLC for warhammer was just too little for $20. $10-15 tops is what I would have paid.

[–]No_use_pics 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't mind paying for factions

You should. This is why they walk all over people.

[–]Blmlozz 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

They don't "walk all over people" DLC isn't going anywhere, it's been apart of the TW lineup for several iterations now. Would you rather have actual content or BS micro-transactions and skins?

[–]vladimir_pimpin 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Imo it's completely worth it, grab it when it goes on sale. Wood elves were the first legendary campaign I finished.

[–]Blmlozz 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's good content I agree, the actual elvish part of it (not the monsters) is almost perfect. I just didn't want to pay 1/3 of the price for a new game for it :( I'll have to keep an eye on it. I wish there was a way to track this stuff.

[–]Blmlozz 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There are a couple of mod communities out there trying to do that withAttila TW , last I checked they're still a long ways off but it's been months . It's a shame because the medieval TW mods did this exact thing and pulled it off very well. They're just graphically dated by now. Warhammer TW was by far the most fun I've had with the TW series since Rome so, there's clearly a market for these fantasy versions of the famous RTS IP that show it could work. Personally I think. Shadow of war is going to be as close as we ever get, though, I'm not upset by that.

[–]tinytim23 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Unfortunately, a LotR game would have perfect potential for faction DLC's. They can start with like Gondor, Rivendell, Imladris, Isengard and Mordor and then expand with Lothlorién, Dwarves and Goblins or something. They'd be stupid no to.

[–]rawrizardz 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

total war LoTR and GoT would be legit

[–]TheQwantomShadow 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

At first I read BoME as Breath of Middle Earth and thought, that would be amazing or terrible and nowhere in between.

[–]DennistheDutchie 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Oh man, do I have good news for you!

Rome: Total War has a great LOTR mod. Extremely extensive and works with all the goodness of the first Rome: TW game.

But that's not all. Medieval II: TW has a great LOTR mod as well. Which can be found here!. I envy you guys, about to head on an adventure!

[–]Blmlozz 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah, plenty of complete conversions for the older titles when the movies were popular. Just nothing (yet) which uses a modern engine which would do it justice. Those games are more than ten years old now. There's an iOS port for rome total war infact Do you know if the Rome TW mod works with steam and uses theatrical music?

[–]DennistheDutchie 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The mod overwrites the Alexander expansion. So in the same way as the medieval II mod, it should work in steam.

It all worked for me, at least. The mod uses theatrical music, custom skin, book lore names, reskinned armies, cities, and a full huge world map of middle earth. It's absolutely awesome. Not to mention it has little subtle things, like

You might see some standard settlements to be roman/barbarian style, but the iconic cities are all reskinned.

edit: And the best thing is that the little general traits are all incorporated in LOTR style. So finding the ring with a general and leaving him in a safe place until you can carve a way to mordor will actually turn him slowly into a wraith. Not to mention all the little details, like Gollum having the ring if Bilbo dies from random armies, and great stuff like that.

[–]fatherfrosto 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

how on earth does a third person action-adventure game(aka assassins creed in mordor) end up as a spiritual successor to an RTS game.

How.

[–]Blmlozz -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

The 16 minutes of Sow so far has RTS and RPG elements, more so than any Tolkien game since BfME. How you can compare AC to 16 minutes of alpha footage that bears no resemblance to any AC game I've ever played is the better question.

[–]fatherfrosto 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

so far has RTS elements

no it doesnt, the hell video were you watching.

How you can compare AC to 16 minutes of alpha footage that bears no resemblance to any AC game I've ever played is the better question.

Because its clearly more of the same from the trailer/info released as the first(with the usual benefit of being a sequel, more polish and depth etc..) It hasnt changed its fucking genre

[–]Kayehnanator 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I want them, they're lost from when I was young. But they're so expensive now online!

[–]MerpBaller[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (5子コメント)

I loved the first one, the second one wasn't as good in my opinion.

[–]hugothenerd 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yes!! I'm not sure what the general consensus is but I liked much more to have an "enclosed" base :(

[–]CatoDarpa 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

thats because it always made more sense to just build units instead of walls. So walls were never built.

First one had way better game play, second one had way better unit diversity.

[–]tinytim23 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah first one was just just every with the same units in different skins + one unique unit. Only Mordor had the mumakil which were awesome.

And walls were useless, you just had to bring like one catapult and down it went.

[–]yekiMikey -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Completely agree

[–]ShockRampage -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Agreed, I didnt like the second one that much.

[–]NotMyThrowaway63 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There was definitely a return of the king one.

[–]LTOZ 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I miss Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds too

[–]Nan0machines 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Buy it on GoG

Screwed as far as the LotR games go though. They can't ever be re-sold again without licensing negotiations no company involved is going to bother with

[–]LTOZ 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I still own both, I just miss good RTS games that aren't focused on competitive gaming

[–]xRedGhostz 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Buy it in Steam for $5

[–]leopard_tights -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

But... that game... is terrible.

[–]thedukeofbeerington 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Still play this from time to time. It's a shame that the game isn't salvageable because of the licensing issues.

Great fun in its day, the kill count was a great personal touch in the campaign as you could rename units and see how their experience grow over a campaign.

[–]YanniDepper 63 ポイント64 ポイント  (20子コメント)

I really don't really understand the whole negative bashing that EA seems to get on this sub on a weekly basis.

They went out of their way to try and improve their reputation by running sales that are actually half decent, their customer service and return policy makes Steam look like a complete and utter joke, and they've also pushed out a number of good games over the last year or so.

I get it, beating down on EA can still catch you a few cheap karma points, but they really aren't the garbage company that you're making them out to be.

[–]colbby 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (10子コメント)

That's all it is. Outside of reddit I never hear anti EA or Ubisoft. Its a circle jerk that people on this site use to get easy karma. Its like finding an nes somewhere. Its guaranteed points.

[–]Camerican91 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

"My neighbors were away on vacation and I found this while robbing their house!" (picture of someone holding NES). Receives 5000 karma.

[–]Psychomatix 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (5子コメント)

What about when it was voted the worst company in the US?

[–]colbby 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (4子コメント)

By who?

[–]Psychomatix 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

It was The Consumerist. Was twice in a row a couple of years ago, so I guess not really relevant anymore

[–]colbby 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Oh well if some blog said so then it must be true.

[–]Psychomatix 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Literally no reason to be a dick, man. Plus, they're a subsidiary for Consumer Reports, which does have some integrity.

[–]colbby 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not being a dick, was just expecting some company that gets worldwide research and not a blog that probably pulled 100 votes.

[–]Amasero 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

EA isn't that bad for the past 2 years TBH.

Ubisoft tho....different story.

[–]StinkyWojohowitz -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Outside of reddit I never hear anti EA or Ubisoft

So in other words all you use the internet for is reddit because this is 100% bullshit.

[–]colbby 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The only other sites I go to are programming related sites and they don't complain about EA or Ubisoft. So yeah

You are kidding me right? that was released back in 2004, it was the period where everything from EA was going downhill.

You missed the EA hate train by a few years, they actually did put out a few good games last year

Didn't EA just get praises for Battlefield One?

[–]awc130 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Titanfall 2 was also pretty well liked.

[–]WhatABlindManSees 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Whats sad about Titanfall 2 is its a pretty solid game, but where I live next to no player base to enjoy it with...

[–]RedDanny26 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (3子コメント)

And I'm still waiting for Kingdom of Amalur 2... :/

[–]hugothenerd 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

So am I, but didn't the rights to that get sold to some country?

[–]ConstableGrey 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The state of Rhode Island owns the rights now.

[–]Kryogenetics 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think the devs got a loan from the state they were in. Couldn't pay the loan back so now the state owns the rights so when someone buys the game it goes to them rather than the game makers.

Something like that I think

[–]flamdude-4256 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This was my favorite game growing up

[–]proboardslolv5 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Origin is a decent platform these days. Mirrors edge 2 is pretty good also. EA isn't what they were in 2008 anymore, tbh. Valve is becoming less likable every day for me.

[–]ZDTreefur -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

"decent", "pretty good". The words of somebody that knows it's mediocre, but is impressed it's not dog shit anymore.

[–]psyike 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Yeah, 'cause all of EA's games these days are trash, am I right? Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, Fifa 17...

[–]ActualBreck 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

FIFA 17 is still trash. But yeah those other ones are good.

[–]Maxwell727 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You guys realize this is the EA spouse game right? The one where EA was abusing their employees so much that most of the team left and there had to be a major come to jesus?

The game itself was fine but the team was abused as fuck. Source: worked with people from the team on later games (like SupCom).

[–]Trumpalot 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I loved Supreme Commander 1 and FA, aside from a half decent campaign and a few other neat ideas, SupCom 2 just wasn't up to the same standard.

[–]TheRealGoochman 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

But EA actually isn't complete garbage now.

Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1, people are enjoying the preview to Mass Effect...I think they are doing quite well

That being said.....oh BFME, how I love you so. BFME2 how I still cuddle with you every now and then xoxoxoxoxo

[–]77slumber77 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The people who made Red Alert made this after being purchased (forgot the company name sorry). The developers were super BM to those who pirated the game bc if you did after about like 10 minutes into the game your team would surrender. The development team did the same thing in red alert.

Was it Westwood studio or something like that?

Bought NHL 17 after not playing one in over a decade. They make some good sports games.

[–]ActualBreck 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Pick up nhl 14 for 360/PS3 if you want better everything except ultimate team. And graphics.

[–]Unusualfuturist 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

The NHL game like all their sports games is really fun to play but has a major issue of every mode outside Ultime Team (the p2w mode) being sparse as fuck. The career mode actually gets worse every year in terms of features. Also they finally got goalie right in like NHL 14 or 15 and then fucked it all up again which is annoying.

Also they don't come out on PC except FIFA so most people can't play them anyway.

[–]LordPoncho08 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

"Most people."

Since when did PC become a market for sports games that towers over consoles?

[–]Unusualfuturist -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just games in general, not sports games specifically. More people play video games on PC than all the consoles combined so not releasing on PC is cutting out most of gamers.

I'd say they had a few good games which I am sure everyone agrees on but one that stuck out Was the fight night Round 1 and 2 series.

Fight night Round 2 was great and has a killer soundtrack.

Also def jam fight for new York was amazing
