Jesus Tapdancing Christ.

I was all over this when they announced it, but since then they have gone out of their way to make me fucking despise it. WB's handling of this game has been tone-deaf from the outset.

 

[ponpo]

100% garbage

 

[Raven77]

It's almost like they don't want me to buy this game. Was hyped, then less hyped after they released more shitty looking media and info, and now this...I just don't even...

 

[Theorry]

Are you really surprised? They try their best to appeal to everyone but Lord of the Ring fans.

Tolkiens skeleton is rolling in its grave.

Not really imo. Just its shame that everything little negative gets attention all the time but when they have a big livestream, some new good trailers nobody is bothering. Doesnt mean this trailer is abit odd. But doesnt have to been blown up. I think their previous Tribe trailers were fine.

[Sushigod7]

Goodness that is some shit.

 

[Morat]

Well, that was startlingly awful.

 

[Marcel]

So final launch trailer gonna be Shelob stripping?

Final trailer will be the announcement of h3h3 and Pewdiepie voicing Orcs in a special DLC pack for those teens that someone brought up earlier.

 

[dyergram]

What on middle earth were they thinking with this trailer?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Holy shit, i've never seen a more out-of-touch trailer.

This is fucking hysterical

The LoTR trilogy is my all time favorite series of films, and yet nothing about what Monolith is doing bothers me.

If they want to go nuts with the fiction, let them. It's a video game.

You do realize they are books, right? The movies were great because they actually kinda did justice to the source material.

This game on the other hand, does not.

 

[Ruruja]

This is mind-bogglingly bad.

 

[Paganmoon]

Reminds me of Marilyn Manson used for Dragon Age: Origins trailer. About as fitting.

 

[Johndoey]

This should've been formatted like a shitty wresting promo.

 

[TheJoRu]

So final launch trailer gonna be Shelob stripping?

Yes, just as we hear the stomping of boots and Sauron's silhouette appearing as the door to Shelob's bedroom opens, with Shelob exclaiming seducingly "I've been expecting you...".

 

[Trickster]

Jesus christ what the fuck. Horrible on every level

 

[pitchfork]

Wow! their marketing dept doing an absolute masterful job of triggering Tolkien purists ha ha!

Game looks great, but yeah, I cant help but cringe when I see this

 

[Fisty]

When this game tanks it will be because no one wants single-player games anymore, not because of this *eyeroll*

 

[vatstep]

MEET ME SOMEWHERE

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Why...

 

[Raven77]

Reminds me of Marilyn Manson used for Dragon Age: Origins trailer. About as fitting.

Wow I forgot about that. Spot on.

However, even though DA: Origins [EDIT: Not origins, the third one...i'm not very smart] gets lots of hate, I actually loved the game. Had it's flaws for sure but, idk, I liked it.

Dear GOD please don't put this idea in their heads...

 

[ahoyhoy]

This Dev team truly wishes they hadn't been made to work on this property.

So do all who live to work in such studios, but that is not for them to decide.

All they have to do is decide what to dev with the IP that is given to them.

 

[Twookie]

fuck off

 

[Revolutionary]

Snowblind died for this

 

[Wanderer5]

Holy crap. The previous tribe videos are alright, but this is something else.XD

 

[Fantastapotamus]

However, even though DA: Origins gets lots of hate, I actually loved the game. Had it's flaws for sure but, idk, I liked it.

Origins gets a lot of hate? From whom?

 

[peppers]

LOL
The game looks pretty good but this is almost like a joke...

 

[Marcel]

Wow I forgot about that. Spot on.

However, even though DA: Origins gets lots of hate, I actually loved the game. Had it's flaws for sure but, idk, I liked it.

I think you're getting DA: Origins confused with the piece of shit that came after it.

 

[Trickster]

Origins gets a lot of hate? From whom?

Maybe he's getting it mixed up with the other Dragon Age games?

 

[Hoje0308]

Should've gone full WB and included dabbing and The Rock.

 

[Nachtfalke]

The reveal of the game was actually interesting for me, but since then the game looks more and more worse. They really went all in with this game in terms of marketing, didn't they?

 

[T.O.P]

This is gonna be great lol

 

[TheJoRu]

Too bad they decided to do this kind of shit, though.

 

[IvorB]

No gonna lie: when I read the title I all but cackled with glee at the thought of more entertainment from these crazy devs. The trailer did not disappoint. Truly the Tolkien legacy is in safe hands right now.

 

[VandalD]

Expected Shelob to show up with a stripper pole. How disappointing.

 

[Raven77]

I think you're getting DA: Origins confused with the piece of shit that came after it.

Hahahaha, my bad. Yes I am. Editing now.

 

[sublimit]

I almost vomited from my eyes.

 

[horkrux]

 

[TLZ]

I agree but when they put out stuff like this, I mean it's really easy to understand why.

It's pretty obvious the message in the music. They want $100,000 right now, right now, right now.

 

[ffvorax]

I really enjoyed the first game, but this looked too similar from the beginning... and this trailer is not helping...

 

[Sadist]

Bless this game.

(I think it looks great but I'm sorry this video was hilariously offensive)

 

[WatTsu]

I thought it was funny.

 

[traveler]

 

[NewFresh]

Parody...right?

 

[Skinny Pete]

I really liked the first game but this just looks off.

 

[Keinning]

Ah, yes, my favourite part of the trilogy, the assault of the bling orcs

 

[Anoregon]

It's like someone read LOTR and thought "I need to blingee this whole thing."

I'm surprised there was no dancing Snoop in that video

 

[Widge]

Holy shit, i've never seen a more out-of-touch trailer.
.

You say it so we don't have to.

 

[semiconscious]

just who's this ad directed at, exactly? ...

 

[traveler]

I mean, maybe they're on to something. If there's anything I learned across the trilogy and the Silmarillion, it's that jewelry has wayyyyyyyy too much power in this universe.

 

[IvorB]

MEET ME SOMEWHERE

RIGHT NOW!
