I, frankly, do not really understand, even with a discount on the plot delirium of the authors, with what fright Barlog / his brother got out. Like the submission ring is that cool? Then Sauron is in advance in the ass, in general.

To be honest, I still don't understand how their license works in this game.: icon_confused:

They seem to use Tolkien's characters, but for some reason they called Middle-earth, although VK would obviously sell better: icon_confused:

As I understand it, there are rights to publish stories in the universe, but all of them are not a priori canon. So we went to the top.

Well, like a prequel and vbokvel, a la "The Hobbit".

I hope there will be real carnage. And then in the first I collected and collected lessons, as a result, five cripples crawled into the final disassembly : icon_lol:

oh, the canons came running : troll_face_37:

 

Well, it's generally lol to shout canon is not canon when canon could only be if the professor himself wrote the script for the game, and unfortunately he is now in Valinor. the game is spin-off in the universe and you need to perceive it accordingly. I don't see frank delirium in the fact that the celebrimbor who riveted these rings during his lifetime for some reason cannot do it again. everything is logical in fact. in general, the monoliths approached the work with the universe as carefully as possible and did not allow any significant inconsistencies. that's where the canon is not so this is the third part of the film the hobbit where, instead of the correct arrangement, the books muddied a ridiculous skit with Galadriels, Legolas and others who should not be anywhere near

 

Negro

and what can not be such that this is a prisoner of the Haradrim / the descendant of the prisoner of the Haradrim eventually became his own in Gondor? may well. and in general, his appearance in the trailer is a purely marketing move in order to hook a little more new audience. more audience => more sales => more opportunities for new games to appear in the universe

 

and the balrog ... well, think you got out at the call of the ring 

 

in general, be glad that games in the professor's universe receive AAA budgets and do not whine. so only read books

El Shadda1 sconce, you would have reduced the cloud in a hat ... it's hard to scroll with a finger : icon_cry:

 

I'm waiting for the balance and cool voice acting of Kelembribor. In the last part, I blissed out from her. The expressive actor was caught.

Otherwise, no idea what people are talking about here ...

I am very pleased with the announcement. I liked the first part somewhere in the eight due to combat, nemesis and because I was able to return to Middle-earth again (the hobbit who came out then did not give this feeling, unfortunately). Although I haven't read Tolkien, I adore the VK movie trilogy and many games around the universe come to me (I fell in love with LOTR: The Battle for Middle-Earth even before watching the films). In the second part, I hope that they will make the game world somehow more interesting, in the first this was the main disadvantage. In all other respects, because of the trailer, I'm even afraid to assume that they can muddle up there. Waiting for the gameplay

Nevertheless, this does not violate the logic of the original trilogy, but here is another ring and kneading worse than that of Helm's Deep, which is not mentioned anywhere else - it does.

Ps Not a hater, I just want to believe that they can find a sensible explanation for all this, and it will be possible to proudly watch films and go through Middle-earth in one gulp, and this is how an ugly duckling turns out.

What is this ring that can subdue the fallen Mayar, and what then is not Sauron, since the Balrogs can be subdued. Brayed.

well, in fact, it is still unclear who called him. maybe Sauron, maybe a new ring, maybe he decided to get some fresh air

 

no, we definitely won't be able to brand the balrog

my little analysis based on mithril edition:

 

- in the collectible, the diorama consists of a balrog fighting a Nazgul wyvern on which a rider sits. this rider is most likely our gaming alter ego

- the rider on the wyvern holds a spear. means the usual arsenal consisting of a bow, a sword and a wreck will be expanded with new variations of weapons

- judging by the map from the mithril edition, the game world will be at least 5 times larger than the previous one

- Does the ability to ride a wyvern mean flying around the game world? quite possibly given its increased size

- judging by the same map, the action of the game will be concentrated not only in Mordor. a large piece of gondor is also reflected on the map. plus in the trailer you can see footage of a city, most likely minas tirith. gondor city = game hub?

- perhaps the diorama reflects the final battle. balrog = the last boss of the game?

- the name of the publication itself hints at the presence of mithril in the game, which in Middle-earth is used to create especially high-quality weapons, which hints at the expansion of the arsenal or its upgrade

Why then would Sauron have a ring, if he had another at his side in Mordor?

They just wrote a new ring of Omnipotence, truly a trifle.

Actually, it is clear, there are no more questions.

I see no problem

 

I understand why the game is nonsense, but to justify this nonsense as a neat fit with respect for the universe is lal. The game in spirit is generally in a different plane from VK and even Silma.

El Shadda1 Stealing a wyvern from the Witch-king of Angmar is priceless: troll_face_15:

Grand theft vivern: trollface-new:

The plot of the game, by the way, is most likely that the new ring awakened the Balrog and forced him to come to the surface, simultaneously smashing everything around.

Sauron with the Nazguls, it seems to me, this time will be assigned a secondary role, I will not be surprised even if with the help of the ring it will be possible to subdue the Nazguls to their side.

 

Who fumbles in the lore - the Balrog is more powerful than Sauron with the Nazgul?

Well, by the way, if in the end the Balrog throws Talion into the fatal mountain along with the ring, then the blow to the canon will be minimal, unless - why the Gandalf and Saruman did not know about this ring and the battle.

I thought there were a lot of them in previous eras, but there are only a couple of them left for the VK action, how much I missed: icon_mad:

They have been there for a long time, these are the former Majars, as @Arystan wrote above, they hung out under Morgoth, who is almost the Pope of Evil. Crawling them out under Sauron with such a cancer is the same canon fucking, like everything else. You just need to understand this, and that's all.

Characters (edit)

- gollum. all clear. he was there and hung around in Mordor before the events of VK                                                

- the chick from the trailer. most likely an elven sorceress                                                                                                                           

- adored Haradrim by all. looks like with significant participation in the plot  

- either some half-orc or a druid with a transform into an animal

Balrogs are of the same race as Sauron. And in general, the image of Sauron was greatly distorted, in the films he is shown as some kind of giant warrior scattering everyone, when in fact he is a master of manipulation, and fights only when he is pressed. And so it happened in the battle with Gil Galad.

And about Gil Galad it was possible to make a separate game (

price from the official site. pre-order has been opened so far only in the state stores gamestop and bestbuy

 

JIe0H he is about the price of a collector's item

 

and settle down already with this price in the incentive. this is the price for America and they have there incentive prices = console. we will have an adapted price for Russia. that is, standardly no more than 1999r for the standard edition

but maybe it won't : QaAIgbl:

 

here is the city. no, this is not minas tirith
