  • lmao saying the game is dead but then u say u dont play it so much u cant fucking know if its dead or not.only if u playing it from the time it got released. there more ppl playing lotro now then when it came out but ur a wow player so u expect every game got to have mils of players on it.they should ban ur yt acc cause u got no idea what ur talking about

  • Well, you played it very short I guess, because it has really nice graphics. Go see Shire or Moria,those locations are created with great quality, and I must nod with you with graphics at start locations.Thanks god you played with hobbit, there is actually quite good graphics, but If you try to start as dwarf in Ered Luin you'll get obsessed. But thats just start location So never mind. In my opinion graphics in this game is a big PLUS instead of combat system,if you can handle it its still fun.

  • I love this game, ive tried forsaken world, perfect world. runes of magic but i lost interest in them fast, this game is really fun for me and it goes into a lot of detail with the skills, traits, and profecsions

  • Right im bored of xbox.. tried skyrim but not me. I used to play wow alot but not sure if i should start that again or what game any ideas?

  • @xLeWii i used to play skyrim then i took an arrow in the knee

  • You sir are awesome.

  • U clearly have no idea what your talking about. The graphics, on a good pc with dx10, look amazing and are far better then RIFT. Why do you review a game and only show footage of the first 10 levels? I'm starting to wonder if u even played longer then that. U might have a point when it comes to combat, but that's only the case with some melee classes. Try playing a Lore-master, Rune-keeper, Hunter or Warden and you'll see a huge difference. Do us a favor and stop reviewing games!

  • press a key > wait an hour > experience a boring fighting animation.

  • play on WOW on AU and the lag is ghey

  • dungeons and dragons online and rusty hearts

  • nice video liked it

  • I'm playing LOTRO off and on, on max graphics. It's fine. The character models could be better, but the overall feel is great.

    I do fully agree about the combat speed though. An overall boost of 30ish% would help a lot..

  • Review Eq CLASSIC! Biatch

  • Good job Davis :D I have enjoyed the series so far, not really into MMO's at all that much but TOR has me super interested so thought I would check out some f2p MMO's and see if it would be for me, since this series only involves you looking at the game for within the first 20 hours it lets me see what an experienced MMO player thinks of the first portion of playing it, and to me that would be the important part, mainly because that is the games opportunity to rope you in and make you want more!

  • @Willinz69 Actually combat was my main gripe, not the graphics, but regardless I'm trying to spotlight the current f2p mmos out there in an effort to hopefully get people playing games they might not otherwise have. The games I'm looking at are not old, they are still getting updated regularly and so I hold them to the same standards as every other current game. If Galaga was still being updated but kept the old graphics then I'd say the same thing about it.

  • @MMOMG Tbh i don't think it's too much of a problem to actually have sub-par graphics for an MMO. MMOs rely on a large volume of players and making a game require low specs opens up to a larger audience.

  • @Willinz69 The thing is, dated graphics often turn people off, no matter how good they were compared to the games that came out around the same time. It's a thing that has to be mentioned. Some games have graphics that age well, others don't.

  • Do you even build your own computers? To be honest it can't be possible you do, or you should know better... Angry Birds? I was shooting high when I said 475$. I'm a network administrator, I do this crap everyday. 350$ can run on higher quality than any console... that aside, you were bitching and what you were bitching about was WRONG. Cursing doesn't mean shit, get off of your high horse its the internet.. has nothing to do with maturity unless I'm just calling you obscenities for no reason.

  • maplestory xD, make sure to make it hilarius :)

  • I'd like to see allods online, and dcuo online

  • The term modern is just wrong dont use it.

  • @gklcgr how about contemporary?

  • @MMOMG Contemporary is fine but anyway i dont think anyone will understand the difference between modern - contemporary. Keep up the good work man

  • You should review Eve Online.

  • I'd like to see your thoughts on Allods online

  • I used to play City of heroes, but I barely remember it, it is going free to play soon so I would love for you to revisit and review it for me, to see if I should take my time out of other games and put it into, what I remember, a pretty cool super hero MMO.

  • Blade & Soul will be the ultimate MMO :D

  • Yours as well. All your saying is GRAPHICS SUCK, GRAPHICS SUCK and GRAPHICS SUCK. If you did not notice, indie games are making a huge push in that graphics does not make the game. I don't play Lotro anymore but its still a great game that people should check out. I'm not fanboy backing it up. It has its flaws. But if you can't see what I'm trying to say than you just stick to your pretty games and amazing $1000+ computer that can run it all. Cheers.

  • @vincentx1o6 Well, that what he said pretty much - game is good, but looks dated, which it is. Sure, graphics isn't everything, but nowadays you expect at least certain level of animation quality, which even indie games usually put strong emphasis on. Besides Indies often uses stylized graphics, which by definition are good,at what they supposed to be. Here-they try realistic approach, which get old very rapidly.That's one of the reasons ToR is going with specific style,not realism.

  • @vincentx1o6 Sorry dude, but your entire argument is invalid, his reasoning is completely understandable. He's right, the graphics are dated.. you need to understand the difference between games that have Dated graphics and animations and games that use older graphics, but on a newer engine. He didn't just say it sucks the whole time either, he said its starting to look dated and the animations are slacking. He didn't say fuck you its ugly. Also 1000$++ rig is WRONG, give me 475$. Thanks

  • @BURLYMACHINE im not saying its not understandable. if you read what im saying, im trying to say the "review" was premature and needs more thought. Graphics don't make a game and he kept bringing it up as a big issue for a dated game. its an obvious fact. Oh yeah, NONE of us cussed, so take your immature mindset and your 500dollar computer and go have fun with angry birds, which would be the only game u can run smoothly. Thanks.

  • Agree with guy below me.

  • Allods Online. Only to see how someone new to the game would react to it as it is today. Most everyone agree that beta was the best time to play that game and lots of people didn't like the tons of changes the game had, (=uber-pay-to-win cash shop) and there was a mass-rage-quit. Really, it was like an Epic-Exodus-Rage-Quit. 90% of people just would not have it. So, would a new guy coming in today without any knowledge of that past be able to enjoy the game today?

  • AoC, GW, EQ 1/2

  • sayin the graphics are dated on a game thats actually dated and putting it as a con? this review was unworthy the moment u said that. and it seems like you didn't reach late game too since u have no information on it. whats the point of playing the mmo for a week and reviewing it? its like playing the first 2 hours of Rage and then doing a complete review. this is more like a first impression if you ask me.

  • @vincentx1o6 We aren't in the year 2007. LotRO's graphics are dated, and to people playing the game now, in late 2011, they may expect more from a game they are picking up given -current- standards. It's noticeable to players. So yeah, it could be considered a con, just like Davis said.

    As for reviewing, no first impression lasts a week. That's ample time to familiarize yourself with the game and its trajectory. If after a week you don't want to keep playing, the MMO isn't doing its job.

  • @sherwoodetc you dont understand my point. besides, if your gona play a 4 year old game in THIS day and age with hundreds of MMOs out there, EXPECT dated graphics. it should NOT be noted as one of the MAIN cons. this video is very much a first impression. u can gather everything he said from 10 minutes of playing the game. Pretty much every MMO has the same layout, so every MMO "isn't doing its job" acording to your words. IM trying to say is, play the game MORE before putting out a "review"

  • @vincentx1o6 And you don't understand my point. MMOs are similar in layout, but they are not fungible. What distinguishes MMOs from one another? Graphics & style, combat, content, customization, endgame. He was compelled by the storytelling and perhaps the style, but it was limited by the clunky combat and dated graphics. Evidently he felt he played it enough to come to that conclusion.

    If you're so affronted about it, go play the game for two months and make your own review instead of whining.

  • @sherwoodetc funny. As a fan of his content, I was merely trying to give him feedback on his review, not whining. I played Lotro for a bout a year, and obviously you didn't. Not gonna lie, graphics are dated, but as i said, not a MAJOR con as it is a 4 year old game. u should expect it. But its clearly obvious that he did not play it for a very long time. The "clunky combat" as he called it is very much part of the game that can be controlled. My end point is this is a premature review.

  • @vincentx1o6 It's cute how you start with these little quips that don't actually establish anything. I haven't played LotRO, but it was pretty obvious from your first comment that you do/did. If the fact that the graphics are dated is one of his main points, then that actually speaks pretty well to the rest of the content. There's gameplay footage, it's not as though people can't make that determination for themselves.

    Your end point is poorly supported and honestly somewhat childish. Cheers.

  • @vincentx1o6 You bring up a good point. I only spend about 10-15 hours on each MMO so to call it a review is unfair.  In the future I will simply call them "my thoughts." As for the graphics part, I'm giving my thoughts on how the game stands up currently, not when it launched. The entire point of this series is to show people different free games, and graphics are definitely an important factor.

  • WOW CLONE!!!

  • "If you hit a key, it takes an extra half-second to pull off the move..."

    That's just part of the game. It's a stat that you can decrease and increase. Makes combat last longer, and gives people more time to make choices.

  • @JelLoSnArK Whether or not it's intentional doesn't change the fact that it disrupts the flow of combat, and that is rarely a good thing. If they wanted combat to last longer/give people more time to make choices, they could have just increased cooldowns.

  • @MMOMG Ah, a valid point.

  • ballz

  • The Original Guildwars, also you shoudl add music from the game into the background.

  • I rather enjoy LoTRO over the other MMO's, but more than likely if I started with WoW or Rift, I'd be playing that, but not all of us can pay for a monthly subscription.

    In response to your comment about graphics, yeah they are dated, but this game has been out since about 2007 with no upgrades due to the fact that Turbine want most people to be able to run it.

  • davis, might i suggest when reviewing you take a much more critical standpoint? im not a game reviewer myself or anything. but i find its a much more enjoyable review when you instead of saying "the combat is slow, not too slow but only kinda slow" things like that would be better with more commitment to what your saying like "the combat IS slow" and elaborating on that. Im mostly thinking of a zero punctuation look at reviewing things so dont be too upset about me giving advice :P

  • Age of Conan!!

  • vindictus

  • Davis, you should go review Age of Conan :D

  • d&d online I had a lot of fun playing it because of its very different combat system and I would like to know what you think of it :)

  • how come each review takes a long time to come out? i want some moooooooore!

    your also getting pretty close to 100th vid. gonna do something special? :P

  • eden eternal

  • man,i have to say this game sucks ass,i mean i agree with ur 7.5 but for a mmo is bad score you know what i mean,i tried this one just once and will never go back again,so far rift is my fave., but TOR is coming with good vibes so we will see.

  • Wizard101 :D... im so trolly

  • I like ur idea to get a whole game review and break it down into different sections over the course of the week, I think you are doing a really good job so early in the series tho! even looking back at early AHWU and other online review-type series you can tell it takes a while to get ur feet under you and develop a good sense of presentation keep at it!

  • I love your content but, Try to come out with content that is as recent as possible. For example DCUO will be coming out free to play in October cover that the day it comes out and you draw in more views and ergo more subscriptions. Great content but, i liked it when you did separate more in depth videos about the different aspects of the game. One ~5 minute video for an overview, one ~5 minute video for game play, for graphics etc... Just trying to help one of my favorite youtubers out :)

  • long worth the wait haha

  • LOTRO is mediocre. It's not that LOTRO does anything badly, I just feel like everything in LOTRO is done better by some other MMO. After playing TOR, I don't know if I could ever go back to an MMO that doesn't have all the superb voice acting. Plus, Turbine nickel and dimes the hell out of the players to get access to basic "quality of life" things like bag space, new areas, and char slots. I'll be playing STO if I play a F2P MMO, and I'll be playing TOR if I'm playing a monthly sub game.

  • It's an mmo and mmo's get dated pretty fast, because they can't really update the aesthetics every year. You mentioned that the game hasn't really got cutscenes etc, while it does. The main story line quests will give awesome cuntscenes with nice voice acting and such. I can continue for like 3 more full comments, but yeah. Next time please put some more time into the game and talk about more aspects, instead of just 3/4, because this was quite a plain review tbh. Tolkien fans will like it.

  • @Michaelmop Hahaha I just noticed I typed ''cuntscenes'', omfg.

  • Fkin love this game <3 been a subbing for a while, bought all 3 expansions, and when I have enough points i'm just going to buy the content I don't have so I don't need to anymore =)

  • Davis please tell me you've played longer than till lvl 8'ish? Because you can't really review mmo's in general that way. I did notice you mentioning your char deleting problem thingy, but still. I guess you want some feedback then: Maybe make em a little longer, because for example. You didn't even mention the music option in LOTRO.

    LotRO is really a game for the Tolkien fans tbh. I agree, when I played this game in 2008/2009 it was way more impressive than it is now, but still.

  • good review, shame about the game.

  • Have you done Dungeons & Dragons Online?

  • yay! another video of gameplay!

    Thank you dude, I love dis video type thang!

  • Fuck yeah, been waiting for this quite some time.

  • do you want to be ringo ah nope gabe newell

  • Great vid too

  • Long time coming, worth the wait imo though

  • First! :D
