Forums - Gaming Discussion - LOTR: Conquest question

I really liked the demo, so I'll be buying it.

It's not a very famous game, so reviewers probably don't get copies until release day.

I also enjoyed the demo, infact i play it quite a bit now.

Its sort of a Hybird Team-Based Action RPG.

You're right, absolutely no reviews that I can find! No playable builds mailed yet, idk? The servers are full so that's a good sign. From previews this won't win graphics awards but art and design seemed true in the demo. I only saw one Balrog and I'm glad it was on my side. The archer felt cool but every team needs a mage. The Trainer is a grad of the Shatner School of Overacting. Hopefully Hugo will handle backround in the retail version

The PS3 demo is from an earlier build but finished products should be the same and 75 npcs per side will help. (D-Toid)

This one should get both BFront and Lotr fans so maybe 250k first week and 1.5m eventually? Thats both consoles and conservative I think. It's got to be better than ROTK
or The Third Age on the box. Same titles on PS2 did 2.96m and .47m on a big base.

yes i really liked the demo but one thing that annoyed me is that the archer seemed overpowered and the scout underpowered- maybe it was just me, but iwas really hard to assasinate a moving person when being invisible as a scout- other people wre just fine! but im hoping this gets gd reviewsbecause i will probs buy it!

I'm just not sure which platform to buy it on. If MM476 gets it then I'll grab the PS3, but I'm leaning 360....

They almost never publish a game's reviews before the release date--why would this be any different?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

It looks like Diablo almost to me. I'm really interested in picking it up.

 

Diablo?  Lol, try Star Wars Battlefield or BF 1942 mixed with any number of God of War / Prince of Persia / Ninja Gaiden combo attack schemes.

I did play the demo, and its pretty good.

Scouts are underpowered when pigs fly. If someone knows how to use a scout well, they will annihilate every mage and archer on the battlefield without even breaking a sweat. Heck, they are the only class that can 1 shot a hero.



Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?

game seems pretty balanced to me. I do about the same with each class.
At first I thought the scout was overpowered, but u learn how to spot them and to keep them off u.
