Strong potential. Combat needs significant work tho if it’ll be like KCD.

Agreed. I find the movement and environment interaction to be clumsy.
Still, the fact that LOTR/Amazon didn't automatically just go to Ubisoft to make the game gives it some promise.

Are they not going to finish the trilogy?

This is awesome news

I wish I could get into KCD. I am just so fracking bad at the combat I just can't push through long enough to become competent.

I bought the KCD and tried to power through it, but got so frustrated with the player movement and environment interaction that I gave up. Maybe KCD 2 was better in that respect, but I never made it there.

Embrace the war hammer and combat becomes really easy
During the first game, I quickly discovered that despite being good with the sword, it was not effective against armored opponents, like the Cumans who wore metal helmets. Once I discovered the war hammer and battle mace, I could quickly bash in their heads and most certainly one hit guys like bandits who don't have mail and plate armor.
That's how it was in real life back then so it makes sense they modeled it that way. Those two were really the best weapons against any kind of heavily armed foe.
The one skill I never mastered and avoid totally in KCD was lock picking. Holy shite is that mechanism ridiculous.

For a lord of the rings game I'd imagine they will make combat a little easier for a broader audience base. Id imagine it would be more akin to a Witcher style combat.
For the next KCD I'm okay with them keeping KCD2 fight mechanics. It is a a pain to learn at first but once you learn how to properly feint and acquire master strike it becomes a lot easier. I will agree lock picking absolutely sucks in the game, definitely an area of improvement, if you decide to not be overly honorable.

Leave the mini game and restart it until the good spot is on the outer edge. Makes it much much much much easier. If it it towards the middle, don’t even bother.
And drink the potion (can’t remember the name)

Huge Tolkien nerd here, so I’ve been waiting for a good LoTR rpg/open world game.
Still blows my mind how this or Game of Thrones has never happened. Feels like those would have been huge hits at their peaks

People that have never played kingdom come 1 or 2 are gonna hate this game. The rest of us that consider them 2 of the best games of the past decade are gonna be so hype

KCD1 is on sale right now for $6. I went ahead and picked it up yesterday. I’ve been meaning to try these games for awhile but I know they’re both pretty long and require patience. The story has me really wanting to give it a shot though: I love history and a good game plot is my main selling point.
I feel like KCD1 became a cult classic years after it came out. I seem to recall most people hating it when it first came out then it really started to grow once people got the hang of the mechanics and settled into the realism of it. KCD2 was a big deal and I’m sure KCD3 will be even bigger.
I do really want to dive into the Black Flag remaster though so I’ll probably wait to start KCD1 after that.

That was my selling point and they did a really good job making it period accurate. The first one combat is gonna give u a headache to learn but it gets much easier as u progress

They saw how badass Hogwarts Legacy was and decided to finally jump on that train

The fact that these yahoos couldn’t see how badass things like Skyrim, The Witcher, some AC games are and make the logical leap to making a cash cow of a game BEFORE Hogwarts Legacy is nuts to me.

100 percent agreed.

I've finished Hogwarts Legacy 3 times.
Having said that, for the love of God, please don't Ubisoft a middle earth game with 100s of pointless collectibles and please don't make the same mistake of Hogwarts's Legacy and have a HUGE new area open up late in the game with the exact same pointless puzzles and collectibles.
Hogwarts would have been a 10 based partly on nostalgia and fun but that last HUGE area that opens up with the exact same puzzles dropped it to a 7.
Each time I played HL, it was a 10 until about midway through the game and then collection fatigue always hit. I played it a 3rd time to get that quest that was initially only available for console orders . And that was probably the best quest in the whole game.
