Why were people so angry about this Gollum game? yes, it was rough around the edges but the devs worked very hard on it. Now they've lost their jobs. Why can't people be more forgiving?

Didn't they already work on like 3 other Lord of the Rings games?
*The Lord of Ring games
>Emotes pack
They deserved it
this
just proof it was an exec cash grab with no care about QC or the lore
The elven language DLC was far worse, as well as their moronic justification for it
This sounds interesting, what the frick is a language dlc?
>The Sindarin VO DLC adds even more authenticity to the game experience by having the Elves speak in Sindarin, the Elvish language created by J. R. R Tolkien.
Wow that's pretty scummy
Their argument was that the voice actors had to learn how to speak elvish so it cost more, which is probably the most moronic excuse anyone has ever made. They don't even have to learn the language just the lines.
>get paid an annual salary
>part of job is sometimes learning fake languages
>costs more
proof that game company exec's think (You)'re moronic
Because it's a famous IP.
People expect a certain level of quality from something as well known and big as lord of the rings.
Should've made an indie game if they were this bad.
Usually when an employee does a shit job they get fired
If this was actually applied you would hear about management being fired instead.
>it was rough around the edges
It was rough on the inside completely.
Also full price with shit DLC.
Kys corpo shill.
In all honesty, good riddance.
Their most well-received games are four somewhat decent, at best, Monkey Island-inspired point and click adventure games.
You have to pay extra for smeagol to say my precious and for elves to speak in just one of the elven languages
Why not a lord of the rings where you play as the evil henchmen? Oh no wait, lets be this little homosexual moron instead
Is that not basically what Shadow of Mordor was?
I hate this "nobody asked for this" attitude towards this game. Yes the game sucks, but the concept of the game isn't why it sucks. People who say that dumbass shit are the reason why AAA games are the same shit over and over and over these days. God fricking forbid someone does something different.
>mmh what character could we use for our lotr game
>young Strider?
>nha
>Legolas and GImli?
>nha
>Gandalf?
>nha
>What about that weird ugly disgusting toad creature?
>PERFECT!
It was doomed to fail.
Nobody asked for this
>MUH AAA
Not my problem. Make a better game and people will flock either way regardless of concept
>God fricking forbid someone does something different.
What is even "different" about this
It's not a generic action game starring Manly McStrong or Strongin Dependentwoman
It's just another generic stealth game with a generic ugly American gremlin MC.
>generic stealth game
stealth is a dead genre though. there are no non-indie stealth games anymore.
Stop being a homosexual. The concept being okay as an abstract premise does not excuse the game being shitty in reality or the devs acting like douchenozzles because people shit on them for it.
They literally made a game where you have to play and listen to the character that Tolkien hand crafted to be a loathsome disgusting wretch that everyone fricking despises
>Yes the game sucks, but
No buts, queer.
Man, people aren't shitting on the game because the concept is weird, we're shitting on it because the game is BAD. Gameplay is bad, story is bad, visuals are bad, audio is bad - even the monetization is bad. If the game was even decent and had a weird premise then plebbitors would be screeching that it should be GOTY like they did for the fricking cat platformer game, or the uwu lamb binding of isaac clone.
The only devs that deserve credit are the ones who modelled the environment and even then it was nothing outstanding. Every other dev department should feel shame at what they made
Because nobody wanted a game where you play as Gollum in the first place.
>Why were people so angry about the nazi german goverment? yes, it was rough around the edges but the party worked very hard on it. Now they've lost their jobs. Why can't people be more forgiving?
>they worked hard ;;_
no one cares leftie.
have a nice day Luis Prada, no one ever gave a single frick about it to even be pissed. All gaming journalists like YOU should be hung in the streets
>get annexed by the French
>die a horrible death
Everytime.
Why? sure their last game sucked but the had other good games.
>Why?
Because the new owners are French.
a shitty game for an already shitty idea. nobody wanted a gollum game but if they managed to make something decent it could've been a cult classic and they couldn't even make it be playable.
>Now they've lost their jobs
Worse than that, they lost the argument
Goddamit. No more Deponia style games, i guess. Why did they have to take this project and make fools out of themselves. They are not bad devs...they just needed to stay in their lane
Angry? I don't see anybody angry, they just won't buy a game that is by every objectie metrics, shit.
I don't get where is the entitlement coming from that people are supposed to buy this game because...the developers need a job? Excuse me what?
Before they close they should publish a statement explaining what the frick they were thinking with this game.
1. Game fricking sucked.
2. Game fricking sucked AND it was buggy.
3. Game fricking sucked, it was buggy AND it was ugly.
4. Game fricking sucked, it was buggy, it was ugly AND it had the dumbest DLCs they expected you to pay for.
5. Game fricking sucked, it was buggy, it was ugly, it had the dumbest DLCs they expected you to pay for AND they're German.
It's so bad it's good kinda like Hunt Down the Freeman.
I liked it
>rough around the edges
>some people had it crash 120 times
Vax status?
>deconstructing intrusive cutscenes in video games with an intelligent reversal of the trope
Based subversive kino
>when even your apology is bugged
It's AI generated.
>ChatGTP
not surprised. europoors dont have enough intelligence to create good games.
It was a bad game and they were intentionally confrontational about the source material and their own bad game before it even launched.
>force a studio to make a game wildly different from anything they've made before that is also based on a terrible and unfun premise
>punish them for the result
It's pretty fricked up.
the game should've been a point and click adventure like their older titles.
We're paying for a product, not pity.
If the game sucks and is full of bugs why should we fund it? It's a multi-million dollar IP.
Good riddance.
Not only did they make a lotr game about a character whose scenes everybody with more than 2 brain cells skips, they made it incredibly shitty and charged full price for it.
whites cant make games. israelites and japs make good games tho
Both Gollum and that Forspken character killed theie own studios
Good, there's no chance they ever make another Deponia game ever again and I'm fine with it
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2464520/Surviving_Deponia/
:^)
As long as I don't get to listen to Rufus, i'm fine with it
Wierd ass IP to make a survivor game out of
Nvm, checked it out more and saw it's a CRPG
I mean, wierd choice, can work but it's a canonical sequel to Goodbye Deponia. Again, as long as I don't even get to meet Rufus/Cletus, i'm fine with it
They'll bring Rufus back somehow won't they
wait what frick me their point&click games were awesome why did they have to die like that
daedelicbros…Gollum won the argument…
They weren't angry about it, it was a laughingstock
>be shit at job
>lose job
yep thats how it works bro
let's talk about the real issues
why do the elves look like they were all raised in sex trafficking rings while being constantly drugged?
