Still hate that such a beloved studio had to disband because of this crap. Their previous games were huge parts of my childhood and it makes me sad to see them go.
Yeah, it's really a shame, but the company had lost it's shine long before, since Poki had left the company years ago. I know the LPs from Gronkh about Deponia and co. back then, which was also a part of my childhood, but as I said, all the people from back then, especially Poki, were long gone by then anyway. Poki definitely wouldn't have done shit like that just to make money ... 😕
@@Gamemania_C-137it was very unlikely the devs who wanted this, it was executives. Ironically I think a point and click Gollum game could’ve worked pretty well in their style. Even a stealth game could work, but it would need different devs like those who made the Styx games
While the game was an atrocity and an insult to gamers, LOTR fans, and enjoyers of having a brain, I'm really not happy about Daedalic having to shut down after this. They were "forced" to make a game in a genre they knew nothing about. One of my all-time favourite games, Memoria, was made by Daedalic and I still to this day say it is criminally underappreaciated.
Heck if instead of stealth platformer they made it into their point and click adventure genre maybe this would be salvagable!! Stealth 3d game was entirely something new for this studio....heck if it was even a fraction of quality of say...Styx Master of Shadows or something like that....but hey potential existed even in such weird premise...but they wasted it with execution. If some other studio made this game...there would be potential for making it .....a sort of survival horror type game!! :) I mean if they showed in flashbacks the previous life of Gollum, his early days in the tunnels underground Misty Mountains, near Goblin-town, sneaking around, avoiding monsters and creatures in the caves and Orcs etc. (this flashback would allow also to use the power of the Ring as viable gameplay option :)) and also show more of that moral complexity, hell like the nasty rumors of Gollum: "The Woodmen said that there was some new terror abroad, a ghost that drank blood. It climbed trees to find nests, it crept into holes to find the young; it slipped through windows to find cradles."
@@swaggadash9017 embezzlement. Somebody needs to call IRS on the entertainment industry. Miss after miss after miss from these big studios with big budgets only to deliver worse quality than what you'd get from sub-million dollar budget studios.
@@darianstarfrog Oh stfu everyone knows what an atari is it was the first home console litterally how do you forget about that unless you willingly ignore everyone? How about insead of saying "the youth doesn't do this" help the youth do it? Otherwise shut up and sit down no one cares.
He's cringe to be honest, he's trying way to hard to make the game look worse than it actually is. Step it up and bring some good criticism, I've seen enough RUclipsrs saying "haha game bad". Kevduit always likes to make his own narratives on what he's doing and always make him seem like he's doing something completely different, bro's trying too hard.
@Relhio, this isn't a review channel, hr play funny game, he say funny thing. No more no less. You say he is cringe yet here ypu are watching and commenting on the video. Clearly you have not been having a good day, I hope you have a better one.
15 million euros to make a AAA game is considered an incredibly paltry sum, especially for the likes of a game that's supposed to be based off The Lord of the Rings IP.
@sootsprite6407 Look at this game. I can make everything in this game within 3 months by myself yet you think it could cost up to 16 million dollars? Are you really that out of touch? The IP cost a lot I'm sure but that does not factor into making the game since they probably already owned it before making the game. If anything someone pocketed the money
@@masterpills Don't know where you got the idea of me saying that 15 million euros would be enough to make this game, when typically the budgets for most AAA games can go anywhere from 60-80 to maybe even 100 million US dollars, and even then it's on the publisher to provide the resources and time developers need to get it done - and a lot of them don't. Daedalic, the German developer who had never made a game of that scale before, had to cut content, diminish what content could stay, seek outside assistance such as hiring voice actors who are professionally trained to speak Sindarin, and were just overall forced to work under such conditions that would inevitably lead to crunching all the way to final release. Most developers don't go into making a game with the intention of making it bad on purpose, least of all unfinished, yet Nacon appears to have not done them any favors. Hell, they were the ones to put out that AI-generated apology without any input from Daedalic. Yet you want to sit here and claim they went and willingly risk both sullying their reputation and shuttering their entire internal development branch, putting many of their employees either out of work or being put in other positions on top of no longer getting to make games themselves anymore, just to pocket that sum total of 15 million euros? Which again, is considered a measly amount for a budget meant to fund a AAA game. Are we sure it's not you who could be the one that's out of touch here lol? But as for your other claim that you could make something similar in just three months and with presumably no budget, then I would have to say you probably could. Because unlike Daedalic, you're likely going to be able to do it without having any higher ups executively meddling in your creative process lol.
@@sootsprite6407 the funny part is that is exactly this kind of underestimating the effort that leads to catastrophic games like Gollum. Once you get deep in the weeds of development, there are problems popping up left and right that one never could have dreamt of.
0:48 Sir, flash photography is not allowed. Sir. SIR! 6:15 Oh I see, Shadow of Mwardor were Gollum clones. That makes sense. 9:29 Do not panic, that's just your anxiety. and the brain damage. it's internal, is what we know. Carry on. 12:25 nope. Reconsider. 15:35 Word.
You are a true Canadian Kevduit. On behalf of all Canadians I am soo soo sorry. 😢 Now to the next lvl of torture "Kong" or a co op game that was bad and still is alive and still bad. 🤣
Poor Kev. Desperately wishing Gollum would be miraculously better after a year of reprieve... "Is there any hope, [WIZARD]?" "There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope."
I remember seeing your first video on this game, and I probably commented something similar, but I was so incredibly hyped for this game when it was announced; my favorite character in one of my favorite universes, getting his own stealth based game, and then it came out, and all I remember seeing a being so thankful I didn’t preorder it and I’ve never played it
You were supposed to purchase the PS5 Pro for the true Gollum experience. It adds all the missing pixels and reduces the load times between anticlimactic game over screens.
Omg...OH MY GOD... FINALLY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! (Has lived under a rock for 7 decades) A game for me! ITS ABOUT MEEEEE!!! The graphics! The sound! The STORY!!! FINALLY!!!!!!...:Hears ANY other game, ever drop at her feet:....oh...
Ah yes! The very first Golum like! A game was so industry defining that many other studios tried to copy it like King Kong or SW Outlaws! I want to put Concord here too but we don't have enough footage to decide it.
Hang on, you're getting it wrong. A bad game doesn't necessarily mean it is a Gollum-like. A Gollum-like has to be nigh unplayable, riddled with bugs, and sheer TORTURE to get through. I don't think Outlaws or Concord are either of those. Not saying they're good, but they aren't Gollum-like.
@@demonicloaf2100 Outlaws is DEFENATELY a Gollum like. Look up all the bugs and glitches that you could do in it, and the AI is just as brain dead as in here. If you wish to break the game you can do it with a snap of your fingers.
@richardduska1558 It only has one facet of what makes a Gollum-like, then. Skyrim and Oblivion are also riddled with bugs, but bugs alone does not a Gollum-like make.

Hasn't he suffered enough?
Kev really woke up this morning, disappointed he could get out of bed, and chose masochism.
“If I must suffer, all must suffer”
He must have lost his carpet of glass shards 😂
Now he can sleep in tomorrow with gollum
Isn't that like 60% of his videos?

No, Kevduit, this is more foolish than going through the Mines of Moria.
He's a fool of a Took!
He has elected the way of pain...
Don't forget that their apology was AI generated so they put as much effort in the apology as they did with the game
It was the publisher Nacon who put out this "apology", which was reportedly done without any input from the developer.
@sootsprite6407 plus the devs were forced to make the game, and they were previously a point and click game dev, so they got royally screwed over
"Get his name, out of your mouth!" (You got reward points!) See, even Xbox knows what's up.
Kev deciding to ruin his sanity for our entertainment is extremely admirable since no one is going to repeat it. Only Kev.
I was going to switch the video quality from 480p but it helps with the experience, so I refrained.
The voice actor that did gollum should've gotten paid so well for all the weird sounds he added to the game. Was the best part
So we can all agree that golum Is this generation of gamers "ET for the atari"
