"And the simplest of enemies take forever to take down." Easy solution to this...Um...Stop spamming the crossbow like an ass?

Morgan Webb's opinion is just that: Morgan Webb's opinion. Like I give two tosses.

@ThatDudeWhoGames No. Never said it sucked. It is what it is.

[ThatDudeWhoGames]

@mythrune74 if you're saying this game sucks, I'd have to disagree with you, but Skyrim isn't all it's hacked up to be. Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, but some of it's praise is a bit ridiculous.

She complains about lord of the rings being a rotting corpse, but at the same time, she's complaining about not playing as your same familiar characters, in your same familiar places. Can she just decide what she wants, new or old, not that difficult. And, is it just me, or does it sound like she's on the verge of tears in this vid. Also, it'd probably help if you left the archery to the ranger, and the melee to the dwarf, as each has it's own specialty

It's a fun game. What a crap review.

[NavyKidz]

You wanna know WHY the other characters werent in the game?? Because all of our questions for the movie was answered in the end. . . So isnt it interesting to find OTHER characters point of view for once, other then characters who were already explained? And ALSO, you were fighting an Urk-khia, and those are not easy to fight down witha an arrow. ANOTHER THING! It took Tolking TWENTY years to just WRITE the dang book, you seriously think the game is going to be easy to beat or get better at?

Bitch!! learn to play then do the review asshole!!

[mythrune74]

Deep and engaging rpg's are few and far between these days. Game developers are just churning out fluff these days. To Skyrim!

Did she just say Sauron went down like a bitch? It never sounds okay when a woman talks this way...
