We liked Mercenaries 2, but after some of our competitors unfairly kicked its face off you'd be forgiven for thinking we reviewers relish the opportunity to stomp a game's head in. Nothing could be further from the truth. For one thing, bad games make for hard work. First, you have to play long enough to form an educated and authoritative critique. Then, you have to write several hundred words on something truly awful in a manner which your readers will find engaging, even though the game has stolen every ounce of your fading holiday buzz, and all you really want to say is "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE"."
You'll love
* Hilariously awful dialogue
* Wormtongue is a badass!
* Poison arrows are powerful!
You'll hate
* Shows contempt for the license
* Woeful combat design throughout
* Looks terrible to boot
Game Rant Writes "Lord of the Rings: Conquest was like a fantasy take on Battlefront, and the concept really needs to be revisited in another Middle-earth title."
Hell no, it's time for proper LOTR single player open world RPG, and a new battle for middle earth RTS
It would be good if it was like conquest but we know it would be filled with microtransactions and battle passes. So no.
The Lord of the Rings would make a brilliant open world, single-player RPG, filled with loot, lore and stories of the player's adventures!
I cannot express how much I would like an open world Lord of the Rings along the lines of Skyrim.
Sam Smith: ''With the recent travesty known as Aliens: Colonial Marines making us pine for what could have been, Play have decided to take a look back at five games that could have been so much more. There’s no real order to these, all of them were pretty rubbish.''
Haha, too funny that Colonial Marines made the list. And I remember Lair. I wanted to love that game. I bought it after they patched the controls. Despite that it was still sooo bad. It had gorgeous cut scenes though.
I'd had replaced something with Haze personally.
It wasn't as bad as some listed here but it wasn't quite what it should and could had been either--and like Lair was an actual exclusive. I can honestly say the only thing I really remember about Haze was it had something to do with Nectar and bee color motifs... and I had forgotten about it almost completely until reading this.
Now that the PS4 controller has way way improved motion controls, its probable that we could see a better Lair coming out for it.
i think Lair is worth trying. people say it sucks before they tried it out. i liked the sixaxis implementation it works quite well and graphics weren't bad at all.
and how stupid is it to say PS3 disappointment where only one of the games if exclusive ?
Ive never played Lair myself, but I always wanted to.
Well until all the harsh reviews came in atleast saying the controls didnt work...
WHAT IF... LAIR controls worked perfectly?
What then?
Wow! What a harsh score..I could see a 2/10 if it was just single player but it has a pretty robust Multiplayer..
I'm playing the campaign right now.The game is at least a 6/10
thats a bit harsh. i liked the demo. no game of the year but a 2/10?
