Why? :'(
I was hoping for a good LotR game... The last good experience i had was "war on the north", not the best but quite a good game, especially in coop. We can't even get older games on steam due to stupid publishers.. and all we get is retarded versions of Tolkien universe like shadow of mordor.

Could be great card game and turned out (judging by the reviews) ridiculously simplified version of original card game filled with microtransactions... eh wish to play one more good LotR game before i die.

People you are all fools here.

1/ You seem to not know what a LCG is. Yet you wrote you play the board version with a same economic model where you have to buy every expansion $ 15 to $ 40
But here an improvment, you can also spend time instead to unlock content.

2/ they said day 1 the game was not a 1 for 1 port of the board game.
If you want to play the board game version stick to it or use sime digital non official client to do it.
They are right to take this choise of gameplay. If they make the same board game in digital version only a very small player base would play it because the rules set are no meant to suit in digital space. And the game would die in 1year.


If you are enable to understand that well, run you fool !

You are a fanboi here, posting the same crap in every topic. Go ahead and spend all your money on a card game. I am sure it's cheaper to get original game than it will be to finish story here and get all cards. No one says this was suppose to be 1:1 to original, but point is, it's simplified like for children, typical f2p game, easy but grindy so everyone will play and feel great about winnings because games that require brain to play will have less players.

You are also an idiot... cant even edit your post to make it look real.. Where did i say i play board version? Go away troll.

Lord of the rings online isn't that bad. In terms of gameplay for being honest it kinda sucks but it is very immersive.

Darn, that's pretty much the only reason i come back to it once in a while, you just feel like on middle earth.

If you mean LotR Online MMO, then i play **** out of it ;P I love this game, i love that devs made it based on books and not movies. For me it's the best lotr game ever made.

Man i copy paste because I will not spend more time to answer to all the same guys like you who does not understand what the product is and judge it only on the how much f2p criteria...

Not a fan boy kid, I barely played the board game...

Yeah. I am gladly spending money on what I enjoy.
In my opinion the pricing in this game is fair and not really expensive.

There is a difference between spending money on what you enjoy and being tricked into mindless grinding in order to make you spend your money on micro transactions.

Yeah because you are the right one here, maybe people don't like easy games like for children filled with microtransactions and tthis is why game has barely 50% review score?

It's just taking lotr name, typical f2p game where you can win easly but progressing is hard without paying, so people pay and pay. "Devs must make money somehow" how about selling game for 50$ and then bigger expansions? Just like everyone did for years. F2P is meant to drain money from people, just like lootboxes, you don't even know and you hhave spend literally thousands of $. Also game being so easy it looks like aiming for kids, yeah they will totally wont get affected by microtransactions.

Lotr online is f2p, yet i am able to play it without gring and buy expansions for real money, have not spend single 1$ on miscortansaction and a 1min on grind, friendly f2p that allows me to pay like normal person for content in big expansions and not spend money just to make 1 quest...

Why tricked ?
Months ago I knew you have to pay to play the game if you dont want to grind.

I don't like to grind because I value my time. So I will always pay to get the content and I know along the way of my fun time I will unlock a few content for free thanks to my time spent on it.

It is how I see things and not the other cynical way to look at it.

For example, they demonstrate their fairness when they decide to not implement lootbox to the game. You exactly know what you get when you buy something. That enough to prove an ethical way to handle their business.

As somebody who spends about £30-50 (depending on them deluxe boxes!) I'm actually alright with the financial investment here. Sure, the game is simpler, but on the other hand it's got not set up, and you can do a single scenario in under an hour and a half.

This fits my gaming schedule quite nicely.

As for difficulty - well, we'll see if they introduce Nightmare difficulty at any point like the did for the physical product. I feel that the rate of gains is a little grindy at the moment by the card pool is tiny right now. We'll see what they come up with once it expands a bit.
