Anyone else as excited for this as I am? They finally released the first game play footage of it. As a Tolkien geek I've been waiting for the next LOTR game and this looks great. I'm really intrigued at the nemesis system as well.

Holy crap this looks awesome!

If the nemesis systems works as advertised that will be one awesome game. Visuals in that walk through were amazing.

I like the wraith powers. This game looks promising; still more excited for Battlefront.

Hobbits aren't real. No more Kefling games for me.

Good. I would rather have an outstanding single player than a tacked-on MP.

As good as graphics are becoming I still haven't seen a game that can get hair looking right. It's just a pet peeve but I hate seeing choppy hair going through the shirt they're wearing or something popping through.

From what I understand animating hair correctly is EXTREMELY resource-demanding. Even CGI cartoons, something that uses infinitely more powerful workstations than current consoles, only fairly recently has started being able to animate hair convincingly with movies like Brave and Tangled.

First look into the weapons and game play;

Comes out Tuesday, been getting some good reviews so far.

Polygon: 9.5
IGN: 9.3
Gamespot: 8.0
Game Informer: 8.25

This is a pleasant surprise.

 

[kwebbvols2344]

Just picked this up because I heard everyone raving about it. GOTY.

I almost bought this but have still held off. Don't want to over RPG myself with Dragon Age Inquisition coming out next month.

That's what I'm waiting on too. I'm anxious to see the comparison between the two.

I'm also tempted to hold off a little longer and wait for The Witcher 3.

I am excited about the Witcher 3 also. Never played any of the Dragon Age games. I am assuming they are good?

 

[TheDeeble]

Dragon age origins is excellent. Dragon age 2 they rushed just to capitalize off the first ones success.

1st one is easily worth a play. Probly get it cheap.
