Oh for fuck's sake, these SJW-ass-kissing game "journalists" are completely intolerable.

Well ... LOTR doesn't have roast ham in it either that I remember, but a LOTR game about a guy roasting a ham wouldn't be against canon. It might not have the same tone as the books, but it would be a little weird to rage about how ham has nothing to do with the series.
Hmm. So what would it have to do to have something to do with the series? Honest question.It has nothing to do with the series except using the uruks and shoehorning in Gollum and some lore bits for brand recognition.Well ...

And hmm again. Why does it have to have anything to do with the series anyway? Why can't it just be a standalone story set in that universe? Would that be so wrong?
So wait ... does it actually violate canon, or does it just tell a story you don't like? Again, honest question. Trying to figure out what exactly y'all are raging about.It throws the established and incredibly detailed universe as written by JRR Tolkien right out the window
lol, well played. I have no real opinion on BOS as I never played it. As far as I remember hearing, it was a not very good game that told a story about, well, being BOS commandos or something, and going around fighting stuff just like the BOS supposedly did. The existence of the game didn't piss me off in terms of setting rape ... maybe it would have if I actually saw it. I don't know. But it doesn't enrage me to think about a story in the Fallout universe that doesn't involve a lonely hero in a blue jumpsuit.How do you feel about Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, Zombra?
That's right, I went there. Now what, nigga?
Lord of the Rings isn't exactly near and dear to my heart, and my feelings aren't hurt. That's pure projection. I am however familiar with the books, and I know that anyone apologizing for or defending this game is in full-on fragile butthurt mode.
Your opinion doesn't disagree with me—it disagrees with the actual Lord of the Rings trilogy written by J.R.R. Tolkien. I know this, and can therefore call you out on your bullshit without having to allow for the possibility of you being right. There is no scenario in which your opinion could be correct. It is a worthless viewpoint.
You are wrong for the same reason someone who believes 4 + 4 = potato is wrong.
LotR has a higher bodycount per minute than Doom.
LotR's body count came from large-scale battles, not from one guy who looks something like this killing orcs for an entire book. *batman pic*
Feel free to explain the relation between "the gore being overdone doesn't kill the LotR atmosphere because LotR has people dying left and right" and "b-but the deaths come from large battles", then
A non-stop, hack-and-slash gorefest has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Lord of the Rings. Actual battles, large or small, occupy only a fraction of the trilogy.
Haha, classic Blaine. But still, I asked you to explain the connection between what I said and your reply, not your disgust for Lord of The Gothams.

The cosmology? So you're saying the wraith stuff breaks canon? If not, can you give a specific example (or two) of what you're talking about? (Enough generalizations about how it's an affront, it's shitty, it's bad, you don't like it, the estate should sue, dogs and cats living together, etc.)It directly and in multiple instances violates the (quite rigid) cosmology which JRR Tolkien crafted for Middle Earth.
