WB has had the license for about 15 years now. I did enjoy Shadow of Mordor/War for what they were, but I'm with you. I would love a new, fully fleshed out version of Middle Earth on modern consoles. Give me something like Witcher 3 in Middle Earth.

There was one in development to coincide with the Amazon series, but Tencent bought the company that was working on it and then Amazon and Tencent got in a disagreement and scrapped the whole thing permanently.

I played a good ways through Rohan but quit somewhere around 2012-13. I decided to pick it back up about a year ago and started fresh to try and grasp the new mechanics. It's definitely had some changes, but the majority of the original experience is intact as far as how the world feels.

Lord of the Rings Online fits this pretty perfectly. I used to spend a ton of time just wandering around the Shire, growing potatoes and pipe weed.

They designed the AI specific for each encounter rather than just giving them a blanket AI. So for a specific room the AI knew which hallway the player would be coming from, and where the cover was, and how to flank each piece of cover depending on where the player was.

You could just play because it's fun.

Because a lot of TVs can't run 120fps so they make it an option.

>The game itself is great and gunplay is fun but there is literally no reason to play.
I don't understand. Isn't the game being fun the reason to play?

Ocarina of Time. It captures everything that gaming would come to be, and it did it all at a time where that wasn't the expectation yet.

Reply to comment by TiredHappyDad in Now that Cyberpunk is better. Would you consider comparing the fun factor between Red Dead Redemption to Cyberpunk 2077. by dilutedmarbles
That's interesting. I loved RDR2 and thought Cyberpunk was hella boring. There's a lot of talking in RDR2 but at least they usually give you something to look at while they're talking. Cyberpunk has hours of expository dialog and it's pretty much all just standing there in some dark room.

I prefer graphics, personally. A neat art style is cool, but I want to be blown away visually.

Horizon Forbidden West. Story aside, you can't tell me they didn't put some serious love into the graphics and animations.

The game called Condemned has a pretty freaky mannequin scene.
