Lord of the Rings: Conquest

[bagelsncheesey]

What about Killzone 2?

you sir, are correct.

KZ2 then Drakes 2.

 

[BadMoon]

I really only mash the attack button as the warrior--the other three classes require a different approach.

Joining the thread late here but I have the game as well, I love it and I'm currently highly addicted to it. Seems everyone has it for 360 though? I have it ps3.

Yup everyone has it on 360. Looks like me and you are the only PS3f folk here.

I finally took some time to play through the 1P campaign. The last level of "Rise of Sauron" was such a satisfying conclusion to this game. Tearing through the shire as a Balrog and then whooping up on Gandalf as Sauron... :maul

I'm not big on trophies, but I might have to go back to get that "Kill 300 Hobbits" one.

Some sort of free add-on for Conquest popped up in the PSN Store today. Downloading it now, not sure what it has. Going by the description, it sounds like it adds 1 vs. 1 or 2 vs. 2 multiplayer.

Downloading now.

Bought Conquest finally on Monday, 3 days ago...

Finished the Good campaign and just finished the Weathertop map on Evil.

Snuck up on Aragorn as a scout and stabbed him from behind, killing him.

I felt sick doing that. That just felt really wrong.

Beren

P.S. On to slaughter the Hobbits!

So this game is good? I read bad things all over the net about it, but I always loved the SW:BF games so I figured this would be just as much fun for some casual drunken gaming. Glad to hear some positive impressions.

...I figured this would be just as much fun for some casual drunken gaming.

That's exactly what this game is for!

btw - New maps and characters are being released to Live and PSN this week. I forgot the details, but it will be a $10 download.

Its a fun game. Haven't played it for a couple weeks but if a group wants to play I'd be down.

That'd be cool. I finally played some of this on solo, so now maybe I'll last more than a minute on multi-player.

You lasted long enough last time to get me pretty good.

whoah... they are really trying to kill this game, aren't they? I'm using PC, BTW.

This game IMO has some serious weaknesses (and I'm a HUGE LOTR fan and was really looking fwd to this game!) and now they want to CHARGE for extra maps??!! Unreal was better than this 10 years ago!!

Serious Flaw #1: I can't fully assign keystrokes the way I see fit, the numeric keypad for example, I can't assign "5" for going backwards. WTF??!!

Serious Flaw #2: no World Builder? I fear this game won't have much legs.

Serious Flaw #3: no upgradeable moves for characters progressing thru campaigns.

Serious Flaw #4: all classes in all races are the same, have the same moves. Snore.

Serious Flaw #5: Mages?? In LOTR?

Serious Flaw#6: Continuity. In the good campaign, Aragorn is in his royal garb when he should have been Strider (I forget exactly which map that was). That's just lazy and cheap.

Serious Bonus: it's LOTR

Beren

P.S. Legolas is being pretty pesky at Rivendell. I think I will enjoy slaughtering this one vs Aragorn.

 

[Darth Waller]

Then you better watch your back now!

 

[lilwingman]

Excellent! I don't have super high expectations or anything, just want to have a solid time with friends one night.

 

[The Josh]

Then you better watch your back now!

This is true.

I want to get headphones with a mic so I can communicate with teammates in real time to discuss strategies when playing Conquest (that's possible on this game, right?). Typing is literally lethal (standing still and all that).

I'm playing it on PC, any recommendations?

Closed ear vs open-ear?

I finally picked this up the other day since Blockbuster had a buy two used get one free thing going on. I went through a few campaigns and I got bored pretty quickly. I'll finish it up on the easy level just to get through it. The game is what it is, a hack and slash game and it's not badly made but I guess I just have a man crush on Gears and nothing else compares (other than Bioshock).
