CujoSWAoA writes: If only the combat wasn't the exact same for The Watcher as it is for a level 5 wolf back in the Shire. Thats why MMOs stink, might as well be a game full of Evil Cubes to fight, because the graphics and enviroment around you mean nothing. Fri Nov 21 2008 4:49PM

Mitara writes: LOL CujoS, its great that you are not playing any FPS then, where it is pull-the-trigger, then pull-the-trigger and... pull-the-trigger again... At least MMO offer different scenarios and possibly with tougher monsters, different combat tactics. As for Lotro though... well.. I guess its a good WoW alternative, even though AoC is prolly better... Sat Nov 22 2008 8:16AM

supernat07 writes: Something just struck me as funny CujoSWAoA. They actually do have evil cubes in Everquest. They "roll" through the sewers of Queynos and pick up undead skeletons along the way. So they've even tried that! :) They need to stop wasting their time on the graphics and start making games interactive and difficult again, not just time consuming. Mon Nov 24 2008 10:43PM

Thradar writes: I'm not into the whole raid thang since burning out on it in my last MMO, but it looks pretty cool. Love the game. Tue Nov 25 2008 1:00PM

Oweyn writes: CujoSWAoA, if you think (in your opinion) that MMO's stink, then why bother commenting on a vid you have no intention of playing? That just seems dumb and antagonistic to me. Also if graphics and enviroments mean nothing, then why are you even trying an MMO? MMO are for people who want to experience a new world. If all you do is want to fight, go play Call of Duty, your complaints are superfluous because MMO's obviously don't appeal to you. LOTRO is IMHO the BEST PvE game out there. Rich backgrounds and stories, great mature community, barely any spammers. As realistic graphics and designs as your going to get (WoW with their cartoon characters don't appeal at all to me). As for combat being the same? You think taking down the Shire wolf is like taking down a raid monster? Wow. I'm sure anyone who has ever been in a raid is having a good chuckle at that.

exe626 writes: One of the best? Don't make me laugh. It's just another mmo. Wed Nov 26 2008 12:58AM

solareus writes: For a majority of the players, this is the best mmo they and I ever played. Maybe for exe626 it is just another mmo. :) Everyone has the right to enjoy themselves without persecution. :] Wed Nov 26 2008 10:19AM

Amberwyn writes: Very cool. I don't think this game is just for Tolkien fans. I've never read the books, but I love the game. I don't raid like some other players, and still enjoy it very much. Turbine has made this very flexible to fit many different play styles. Like Arioc though, I wonder why this was listed as a Lothlorien fly-through. Thu Nov 27 2008 10:29AM

virtanus writes: The game is not that good. I play it, but it is being directed towards solo playing, which in my opinion is not what a MMO should be about. But it is still nice. Mon Dec 01 2008 9:09AM

Janissan writes: I have never been in a raid persay. But I was in an assult on a keep in the Moors(LOTRO) and it was very intensive. This looks thrilling to me. When other "Real Life" people depend on you to pull your weight to defeat a foe such as this and/or to keep them alive,( I am a minstrel) then your heart starts pounding and your hands are shaking and well.. it is very exicting.. Try it before you crush it, you may even enjoy yourself! Mon Dec 01 2008 11:18AM

Ragnaven writes: having fought the watcher I will tell you it is massive, and the fact they added in npcs getting chunked around by him makes it a lot better that some low lvl wolf back in the shire. The game has come a long way, all mmos have. I've played almost every mmo out there, lotro has something that even WoW doesn't. If I had to put my finger on it, I'd say it was they did the crafting right. For a lack of something better it is a great mix. A mix that I don't think we will see again. As to Cujo wanting a game more real look into the old republic. BioWare is wanting to do reactive combat, actual weapons clashing and so on in their game. It maybe the next evolution in mmo's.
