The whole battle + assault happened because Sauron was baited into attacking too early.

This. Played it once through and expected much more.

I remember dreaming about a Lotr Battlefront game before this game was announced.
Sadly it was lackluster as fuck with half the classes being out of place

youtu.be/EmTz7EAYLrs?t=128

The campaign was pretty good; a variety of objective types, and the evil campaign started really strong with that Nazgul mission. But what a complete turnoff to have the skirmish game modes be 8v8 instead of the massive brawls with grunts in campaign. The combat system really wasn't deep enough for duels to be the main focus.

>they don't eat anyway so they couldn't starve

LotRs, among many other movies, really ignited my love for the whole 'two armies clashed' moments. It sounds so juvenile, yet I will never tire of it. This key moment in the game was the only time that flawlessly encapsulated that aspect I very much adore from these movies. It's not perfect, both in length and scale, but dear god was it fucking awesome when experiencing it the first time.
Shame I never got to play the LotRs games though.

“In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl. A great black shape against the fires beyond he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazgûl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet had passed, and all fled before his face.

All save one. There waiting, silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax: Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dínen.
"You cannot enter here," said Gandalf, and the huge shadow halted. "Go back to the abyss prepared for you! Go back! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master. Go!"
The Black Rider flung back his hood, and behold! he had a kingly crown; and yet upon no head visible was it set. The red fires shone between it and the mantled shoulders vast and dark. From a mouth unseen there came a deadly laughter.
"Old fool!" he said. "Old fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!" And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade.

And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the city, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of war nor of wizardry, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn.
And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns, in dark Mindolluin's sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the north wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last.”

Man they dropped the ball so hard on this, it could have been kino. It was dumb fun to be sure, but it could've been so much more

Yup, Aragorn pulled off a major bluff making Sauron think HE had the ring and was about to use it's power to crown himself king of all humanity
So the assault on Minas Tirith was meant to knock out Aragorn's power base before he could pull off that stunt

This

youtube.com/watch?v=za0dtkLp-V8

actually in the book it is discussed that he could wait for hunger and disease to break the defenders, but that he was using fear instead to break them much faster

Tolkien is one of the most overrated writers in history

The man had an amazingly creative mind, but as far as actually putting words on paper, his prose and style and dry and boring.

This is from someone who’s read all the histories and silmarillion

The Orcs were well-armed, and the Giant Eye could have spotted them and brought them down.
The Eagles would have also been exposed to the Ring's corruption.

As someone who's also read the books, histories, and Silmarillion, I disagree. I think Tolkien does a great job capturing the style of the era that he was drawing from for inspiration, and the Silmarillion works especially well because it's written like a collection of myths and religious texts. Tolkien's prose really works best for that kind of subject matter IMO.

No Total War or Mount & Blade style game can be equivalent because in neither of those games can you actually go to the aid of an army or a castle that's under siege, whenever you join a battle it automatically starts over. Maybe a musou game, but those are always scripted.

What was up with that? Like where the fuck is Gondors army? I thought the whole thing with them was they had a legit standing army that was paid instead of a levy like system like Rohan. So you have Gondor which is quite a large kingdom so it should have at least a bit of a professional army, but where is it? There was a small amount of soldiers at Ostgiliath, but wheres the rest, the amount in the city is so fucking small, especially for such a large city.

Just seemed so weird that in the films the only large armies ever seen are the enemy armies or the Rohirim at Pelanor fields. Also, why the fuck are the human forces at the black gate literally like 300 something dudes. In the first movie when they show the flashback about the battle against Sauron theres like easily 10,000 men and Elves on the field. Being well into the future of that battle, where are these armies, was this ever discused? Are the Gondorian armies strung out defending Gondor from other enemy armies?

Robb makes repeated fuck ups and alienates allies in his attempts to do the right thing. As a result, the unthinkable betrayal of a host to his guest happens and he dies.
>S8
The strategists flat out forget they're fighting a necromancer. People get surrounded by ravenous wights that have been shown to swarm and kill in seconds. The Night's King surrounds his target.
The result? The swarmed people survive minutes on end. The Night's King makes every villain cliche in the book rather than having his horde rip the target to shreds. He then gets ambushed by a person who managed to sneak past literally hundreds of watching wights and walkers that have been shown to react instantly to threats. When he holds the ambusher by the neck, she slowly drops her knife and he watches as she stabs him.

GoT has become precisely what it was meant to deconstruct, but because it's under the delusion that being surprising is a good thing, it doesn't even do it well.

probably these people are intrested in historical accuracy and warhammer is too fantasy for their tastes.

The problem is that its popularity really picked up in S3 after the red wedding, and people had it in mind that it was because
>omg so shocking! anyone can die!
Which, while technically true, missed the point. In context, the unexpected deaths make sense in the narrative, and are only subversions because people expect the heroes to always win.
After S3 the show started more and more to be shocking for the sake of it, regardless of how much sense it made, to pander to their new crowd, and it worked. Losing the source material only accelerated this process in S6.

Right now it's barely above Rian Johnson tier in making retarded decisions to be "subversive", because nobody expects the writers to be shoving crayons up their nose while putting out drafts.

Not true, you can arrive as reinforcements too an ally siege, whether defensive or offensive it's just walled sieges are rare sometimes and getting the ai to attack once your in position even more so.

For me it's because they made huge improvements to the engine and quality of their product and as I don't care for warhammer it seems like a massive amount of wasted potential.

I dont understand how a Lego game was able to capture such kino scenes, a beautiful looking world to travel through, and, all the while, silly slapstick humor like shooting Boromir with a broom before sending him over the waterfall to pinball off of rocks

You motherfucker.

Rome was cancelled because it was too expensive to make.

More like they stopped adapting the books and went ORIGINAL MATERIAL without understanding what stops GoT being another generic medieval TV series. The latest episode should've been an episode everyone was dreading because so many main characters would die in typical GoT fashion, but instead people were literally being gang banged by zombies and had plot armor

I guess it's equivalent to Metro series? I don't know how much of it is actually faithful to the books

MAKE WAY FOR THE KING

Is it true that GoT is pretty much just now there to empower women and making them look strong?

>rome couldve finished properly with many more seasons
>by that time grrm mightve finished writing at least one more book
>we couldve then had a proper lengthy more faithful game of thrones adaptation

well what King Arthur kino is good to read and watch for a 21st century brainlet like me?

Found out that during this scene sams actor stepped on a broken glass bottle and cut his foot and still continued acting.

>horses just knocking orcs over left and right at full speed
That's not how horses work you niggers.

The Once and Future King is a bit bizarre to get into, but everything past the first book is kino

>tfw rewatch the hobbit
>literally everything is CGI
>get angry

When did movie makers give up?

Fate stay night

The original Fate/Stay Night VN is surprisingly accurate and has fun takes on the legends they use

I would of loved Rome had it not included the two rando non-historic characters that conveniently show up for every major event in history. Honestly them shipwrecking and running into Pompey, and then later hanging out with Cleopatra was so fucking stupid, I couldn't even bother with season 2.

The actors we're insanely committed to their roles. John Rhys-Davies had to go through hours of makeup each day and the glue they used he was allergic to or burnt him or something, Viggo Mortensen
broke his foot kicking an orc helmet and kept shooting the scene he was in and worked his scream of pain into the scene. He also nearly died in the scene where Lurtz hurls a dagger at Aragorn, the actor couldn't see cause of all his makeup and was meant to throw the dagger into a tree, but hurled it full force at Mortensen instead, and the man batted it away with his sword saving his life. They liked that almost death so much they kept it in the movie. The movies sound like they were mad to shoot

Fate is good outside F/GO

God damn that game was fun

The movies mangled Frodo's character so badly in general, but this was probably his best moment and I'm glad we got to have it.

>Outside of F/GO
I wish the story of FGO was in a traditional turn based RPG or something instead of gachashit, the story is pretty good, at least the parts Nasu wrote

a lot of these stories are fabricated

Yeah it does get better when Nasu joins in from what i've heard.

I wish we could get a hybrid of it and the arcade version

That's secondaries

I got bored. Suffers from the same problems ass creed games have, where theres so much mundane shallow things to do that you end up just wanting to do the main quests just to end it.

I choose to believe the cool stories, makes it more fun than assuming everything is bullshit

I loved playing as the scout or knight in this game. Mage was great too, but the game as a whole felt unfinished.

>Is such a thing possible?
no because everything must be a console port

Definitively medieval 2 total war. You can wreck a small army with only three horse men.

When you hear about how much effort Weta put into making real props for the series it isn't hard to believe.

It was a fucking miracle that The Wire ran for five seasons. The Golden Age of Television my ass. On how many seasons TWD is now?

Kaamelott. You just need to learn French to a level in which you can understand all the subtleties first.

this game had such horrible interface and camera

Depends on how much you're a fan of the source material. Theatrical cuts are better paced and constantly exciting and entertaining from anyone's perspective. Extended editions include a lot of scenes that, while well acted and intriguing, bog down the pacing and tone in some areas. But if you're all about getting lost in a massive adventure and being totally immersed in the world the movies create then the extended editions will give you just that.

basé

dont be mean help a bro out

how the fuck did they manage to make such a timeless masterpiece?
it sure as hell wasnt jackson
or is it a once in a life time sort of thing when all the planets align?

because when you mix 2 properties with vast amount of soul, you get the purest form of Soul

Most of the people working on it loved the books. Even those who didn't know a thing about Tolkien worked to try and understand what made the story and characters so special, because they recognized how serious everyone else was taking it. And while it wasn't Jackson entirely, he was still instrumental in getting the films made and making sure they were as good as they were; it was just that the material he had to direct and edit together was of an exceptionally good quality due to how hard everyone was trying.

My god these fucking chills down my spine.

You're a city boy who's never seen a horse, much less rode one in adverse conditions, and I promise you that if a horse charges into you, you will be moved out of the way.

it absolutely was jackson, as well as everything else coming into alignment. we will never see the likes of it again

yeah but can you actually train a horse to charge directly into a wall of people holding pointy sticks?

when they learned that normies will still line up and pay to eat shit

It actually was Jackson. Not solely; but he was definitely the core of it.

Do you know absolutely nothing of cavalry warfare before the advent of firearms?

The Sword in the Stone is perfectly fine if you skim past all the falconry shit, which admittedly is a hell of a lot. The rest of the book is pretty fuckin' kino, though.

I do not, that's why I asked a question you asshole

It was Jackson when he was given a decade of preproduction

Wow, look at all those copy-pasted assets!

What the fuck do they eat? Honestly? Do the people just go out onto the enpty fields once day to fucking graze or something?

The difference between Lotr and the hobbit is that jackson wasn't writing the script while filming

Then they make GoT...

Malt beer, ripe meat off the bone.
The salted pork is particularly good.

It just works

Le Morte Darthur (1485) with modern spelling and glossary. Accept no substitute.

No shit, Absolute best, and probably most historically likely Arthurian book is the trilogy by Bernard Cornwell, called ther Warlord Chronicles. Fucking kino no shit, you won't be able to stop.

But you also must get the audio books of them as well. I listen and read along just for the immersion. The recording is done by Jonathan Keeble who is the GOAT.

Certain horses were trained specially for that purpose in the mid-late middle ages.

Before that, horses would shy away from spear walls and refuse to charge.

Remember playing this bad boy?

And how silly it was fighting Sauron on the tower in the end?

The Third age is an underated gem in LotR games, wish we got another one in the same vein

There is no source material dumbass. A priest writing about 'Arthur' living several hundred years before that. All the rest of the characters in that story were even added on over the next several hundred years.

Do your own research brainlet.

I always hoped that one day we'd get a final fantasy title that looks exactly like Amano's art style.

Everyone in those books are such assholes and morons I really couldn't bring myself to give a shit, the actual fall and ruin of Arthur's kingdom felt justified.

Why did the Orks form a line infront of the gate instead of surrounding Minas Tirith and actually using their strength in numbers?

Attached: 1495357058333.png (620x640, 260K)

But the dream user

The city is in a natural defense point with the mountains to the back, and there are multiple gates leading into the inner city. Really all they could do is line up and try to breach the outer gates, their number meant shit until they were inside at least this first barrier

armies larger than that have existed in the ancient past. but yeah, the resources and logistics of supplying your people is like the #1 issue in having an army

I know about the mountain but in OP's screenshot there orks aren't even attacking the furthest part of the wall, instead of assuming a wide formation that could attack from every angle they just stormed it in a line and only small parts of the army branched out to the sides

its beautiful bros

Normally at this point they would have started pillaging nearby farms but this place is strangely devoid of farmland, the stronghold is literally in the middle of a plain with nothing to see for miles and miles, and I guess the people who live there are made of fungus that survives on moisture in the air.

Still not as bad as having Rohan being norseniggers that live in shitty wooden forts tho.

It think they established that the outer walls of Minis Tirith were impenetrable, so the effort to spread out and pressure the city on all angles would have ultimately been futile since the only effective thing on the walls would be siege towers. I'm sure there's some other reason like the Witch King spreading fear and weakening the gate with his magic for Grond that kept them from focusing on the gates, but it's been a good while since I read the books so I'm not entirely sure

Wooden barns are good enough for their horses they're good enough for the horse fuckers in Rohan

Slowfag here who hasn't seen it, but the fuck?
