Cyan please never change. Keep playing the games that you love and doing stuff like this. I'm in love with your content and the nostalgia hits are real. Keep doing what you do with content you like and not following a trend.
i remember playing this back in 2010 and during the razing of the shire i remember playing as Sauron, charging across one of the bridges to fight Gandalf and getting fucking snatched up by one of the Eagles it was...anticlimactic
I remember one time when I was playing Conquest Mode with my sister, she never played the Shire Conquest, I wanted to surprise her with the evil hero as I did play it before. So there she was in her sniping spot on the hill south of the Green Dragon over looking the whole area. I kept to the south most part of the map, hoping she wouldn't see me until the last minute. I was playing as the Balrog at the time. I got to the bridge, I powered up and planned to run up the hill. I did and learned that the Balrog was to big for the fence and got stuck. The tiny hobbit archer proceeded to shoot arrows at me, ironically she killed me with a fire arrow. It was so anti climactic.
The gd backstab and then immediate cut to Aragorn's tomb at 13:45 had my WHEEZING. That shit was a 10/10 edit. The quotes/puns throughout this video was quality. This game truly makes you feel like a Lord of the Rings: Conquest.
Used to love this game in splitscreen. The Scout being seen as a WMD where everyone starts panicking when someone declares "Its come to this!" and suddenly a misty bastard with knives is running around hunting down heroes like they owe him lunch money
No no... The most hilarious memory was me playing as Sauron for the first time in 1v1 with my friend and feeling like an utter badass slaughtering everything... Only to be backstabbed and going "Nooooo!" It was hilarious.
2:25 "...the backstab, which can instant-kill any human sized enemy in the game..." Tell that to Sauron, the dark lord, as a todler sized Frodo bends him backwards like a pool noodle and slits his throat. Damm this game is silly as an adaptation but it was so much fun with friends.
War to the North is better but, couch co-op on this was absolutely incredible. My best friend has been pretty much informally adopted as a brother because of the sheer amount of weekends spent at each other’s homes. Our parents would ask us on Wednesday who was going to be at the other’s place for the weekend. 😂 We would meet up during youth and plan on which co-op campaign we would stay up all night Friday beating. This game was always a great contender. We would play through the good campaign, switch to Call of Duty World at War’s American Campaign. The next weekend would be us throwing hobbits around The Shire as a troll before switching over to Dynasty Warriors 7. We’re both in our late twenties and when I came back home from deployment, he drove nine hours to play this and War to the North with me while taking shots every time we died before rewatching the entire Director’s Cuts of Lord of the Rings. I absolutely adore this game and the sheer amount of time well spent with the best friend I’ve ever had.
I mean, I want to be clear on this. My friends and I used to do duels in BF2 so when I got this game we continued to Duel and I played the rogue because I was already infamous in the group for being really annoying with invisibility. I spent the entire match doing a pseudo Peter Griffin cover of the Lord of the Rings theme that I would make louder and more epic whenever I did a backstab successfullly and then make really quiet again when I went invisible again... My friends decided to stop this game specifically with me afterwards.... I don't know if I have any regrets.
I don't know what I like more about your content. The unhinged sense of humor, the classic and cherished games being given the spotlight again, or the actually very solid voice acting
this is by far my favourite lord of the rings game and it got no love despite being by the same guys who did battlefront 2 real shame absolute staple of my school days getting home playing halo, fable and lotr conquest
16:47 alright, alright... I watched this video on a whim, from a channel I've never checked out before, but after this bit I just have to subscribe lmao
This what I loved about older video games. Occasionally one would come out, your reaction would be “ooo, that looks pretty nifty” then once you’re in it goes completely off the rails in the best way possible. I think the last game I played like that was just cause 3
Cyan voice acting for some these characters is actually really great. If the next LotR game or show doesn't hire Cyan to voice a character I'd be shocked.
I'm still waiting, after all these years for a game that lets me feel as impossibly powerful as BLOODY SAURON smashing elves in Rivendell like they were literal mayflies. Pandemic were such gods of the game development industry, I miss those great old studios and their games so much.
Your videos are so entertaining and fun to watch and this one was no exception. I've been waiting for a franchise follow-up to the one of "The Return of the King", which is the first of yours I watched. Kudos, Braydon.
This game is actually GOATED. I also used to play this every single day until my PS3 shit itself. I was so upset to learn this game isnt backwards compatible. It needs to be bro I would never stop playing it.
I played this game non-stop offline for a solid year or so and then for a few weeks every year since I bought my 360 in 2010. It’s simplicity yet diversity in playable characters and storylines just gripped me. It’ll never not be my favourite game!
I just stumbled onto this video because I was thinking of Lotr: Conquest. I have to say, I do not think I have ever laughed out loud as much as I did at a RUclips video. Thank you for this video, I am genuinely excited to take a look at more of your content. Your video made my day.
The voice acting is some of the best i ever heard on YT daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn :D + thanks you for reminding me of this gem, i should play it again after all these years Nostalgia hits hard
Your impressions are so good for LOTR characters, have you considered playing the Two Towers game (sorry don't know if you have already), I love these LOTR videos!
Just found this video. Loved this game. Got it for super cheap like a year after it came out. I remembered enjoying it, but online was already pretty dead. However, I played couch co-op with friends. My fondest memory was when we were fighting on Moria as the orcs and my friend died, but before he respawned the camera tracked his killer and the camera catches my fat orc mage charging in beating the guy to death while I was screaming "REVENGE! REVENGE! REVENGE!"
Dude i loved and played the hell out of this game. Glad to find so many other people that actually enjoyed it as well. Love the voice overs you do for the characters as well 10/10 they had me dying 😂. Never change cyan
This was the best ever RUclips video I’ve seen. It’s funny the impressions are so great. It’s SO good I’m rewatching this many times. “New subscriber unlocked”
God, I haven’t played this game in years! So many memories! And this video just rekindled them! Thanks! Also, your voice acting and range is hilarious! You just earned a new sub!
I had so much fun playing this game back in the day. Didn't expect to ever see new youtube videos made about it, but it really brings back some good memories. The evil campaign is awesome.
This video hit me in the hardcore nostalgia. I had this game and it was one of my favorite games. I occasionally think of this masterpiece in the most random of times. So this video. Brought a huge smile to my face
I used to purposefully not progress past the huge battles so I could sit there for hours battling in these huge melees while feeling like I was actually in LoTR
3:10 That pause then…”Idiot” made me laugh uncontrollably for 5 minutes 😂😂😂 LOVE the LOTR content, amazing work, would love to see you play the Lego games and hear you impressions on that too 😂😂😂
Haha great childhood memories. This video was as amazing as the game. Love the edits and voiceacting lmao. liked! Oh my god the sad song and aragorn's death scene of old age that follows 13:47 is brilliant how do you come up with this stuff???
Cyan: "The evil campaign gets sad and depressing."
Cyan: *Backstabs a hobbit and cackles*
Yeah 😂
Absolutely XD "This is awful to imagine happening! I'm gonna play it again, that was awesome."
>Playing the last level
>Would you like to play as Sauron?
>Hell yeah
>Crossing the bridge
>Get sniped by an eagle
Pretty sure I got killed by an assassin type at near full health
I was gonna comment that. Nice i was not the only one
@@poorguy2839 we stand with you brother
No one crosses their first bridge XD
Classic
One Scout to rule them all, One Scout to find them,
One Scout to bring them all and in the backstab bind them.
I practiced this in Théoden's Court!
Dude craaazy voice acting. Also, the edit at 14:28 😂
Haha thanks brother! Means a lot :)
kiss me
ZANMAN?!
"I SHALL PASS"
@@biggles4444I can do that for you.
Voices were so on point that I want a DBZA but Cyan doing all of the LOTR trilogy

I did the same thing. Except I tried to wade across the river.
I swear it happens everytime lol. Now I wait a few moments after selecting before trying to cross 😆
I loved this game and the Xbox RTS Games those were fun
I almost put my head through the TV when this happened to me…
“Only a handful survived to carry on the fight, i was one of the unfortunate few”

Okay, that Uruk rendition of "Blunt the Knives" was incredible
Knife, like, KNIFE EAR?!
Indeed.
I'd really love to hear a full version

Alright who else loved playing as Sauron at the end of the evil campaign only to get clipped by a giant Eagle?
👇🏻
No no... The most hilarious memory was me playing as Sauron for the first time in 1v1 with my friend and feeling like an utter badass slaughtering everything... Only to be backstabbed and going "Nooooo!" It was hilarious.
Or falling in the river and immediately exploding 😢
Sauron's true greatest foe is crossing that Shire bridge.
I thought i was the only one
Ironically Sauron got flown by the eagles
Your song in the shire was pure genius, couldn't stop laughing
8:32 Gandalf saying “combo breaker” is peak comedy
This game was also a big part of my childhood, thanks for the massive nostalgia trip
Dude playing as Sauron was the coolest thing I have ever done in this game. He literally pushes peoples souls out of their bodies. Hes such a badass.
2:25 "...the backstab, which can instant-kill any human sized enemy in the game..."
Tell that to Sauron, the dark lord, as a todler sized Frodo bends him backwards like a pool noodle and slits his throat.
Damm this game is silly as an adaptation but it was so much fun with friends.
Or even just a default scout - stealing isildur's spotlight altogether 🤣

Cyan, I hate being critical of other people’s work.. but can you lower the quality of your vids a bit? It makes it unfair for everyone else.
The fuck lol
Seriously! At this rate, he's gonna ruin let's-plays for everyone when inevitably other creators fail to measure up to his gameplay lol
The cringe is unbearable
Overrated comment

are they still your friends?

Yeah… life has changed a lot the last few decades but we do still all view each other as friends
If it's any consolation, that's sounds really freaking funny. lol
I don't know what I like more about your content. The unhinged sense of humor, the classic and cherished games being given the spotlight again, or the actually very solid voice acting
Why not all of the above ? 🎉
Used to play this religiously with my best friend who sadly passed away, i needed to see this thank you dude
this is by far my favourite lord of the rings game and it got no love despite being by the same guys who did battlefront 2 real shame absolute staple of my school days getting home playing halo, fable and lotr conquest
16:47 alright, alright... I watched this video on a whim, from a channel I've never checked out before, but after this bit I just have to subscribe lmao
Aight you got me. That Gandalf subscribe edit was really good, a fine day to subscribe! All the voices are so good!
This what I loved about older video games. Occasionally one would come out, your reaction would be “ooo, that looks pretty nifty” then once you’re in it goes completely off the rails in the best way possible. I think the last game I played like that was just cause 3
War in the North next?
Awesome then he should do battle for middle earth after that one
Ok, the impressions are SCARY good. And "your red bubbles shall not avail you" had me rolling lol.
Cyan voice acting for some these characters is actually really great. If the next LotR game or show doesn't hire Cyan to voice a character I'd be shocked.
There last probably not going to be anymore LoTR games guessing
frodo: the bling is mine
sam: shit
had me dying
The "you've been doxxed sauron" had me roaring! a modern day telling.
I remember the backstab being the most broken move when playing this with my bros, certified classic
16:00 he knew how to swim in his thousands of years of life, graduated with swimming Honors 🎖
This was superbly edited, and fun to watch - thanks for that
Cyan is so good at accents, really adds another level to this gameplay commentary 👌
Couch co-op in this game with my dad, who was never a big LOTR fan but knew I loved it, is one of my favorite video game memories as a kid
Easily my favourite video of yours, absolutely freakin hilarious! Can tell you’re a big LOTR fan too. 😂
The effort on the jokes and references is insane. Such deep references for like a 2 second chuckle, so good
This shit was more fire than Mount Doom
This was my favourite game as a kid, thank you for all the memories you brought back
Bringing a Balrog and Sauron to the Shire is the funniest overkill in Lotr fanfiction
That voice acting, and the editing - great job mate!
Youve got the warrior, the mage, the archer, and the class that gets banned by your buddies
I'm still waiting, after all these years for a game that lets me feel as impossibly powerful as BLOODY SAURON smashing elves in Rivendell like they were literal mayflies.
Pandemic were such gods of the game development industry, I miss those great old studios and their games so much.
It will be a sad day when you run out of LOTR games. These impressions give me the giggle fits! Mithrandont especially
unlocked a memory for me here omg. loved this game back in the day!
It’s me and my brother’s favorite game when we were kids. Used to play on local all day everyday
Good times
I love that you added The Hobbit video game music for this video!
Your videos are so entertaining and fun to watch and this one was no exception. I've been waiting for a franchise follow-up to the one of "The Return of the King", which is the first of yours I watched. Kudos, Braydon.
Lmao Gandalf getting "!" when he spotted you trying to be stealthy, followed by MGS Encounter soundtrack was genious
Found my disk after years and had to call a friend over for splitscreen
His reaction to "Objective: Kill Frodo" was priceless
9:20
Witch King: no orc can stunlock The Witch King Of Angmar
oruhkhai: I am no orc *stunlocks Witch King*
This game is actually GOATED. I also used to play this every single day until my PS3 shit itself.
I was so upset to learn this game isnt backwards compatible. It needs to be bro I would never stop playing it.
I have not laughed this hard in a long time. Loved your voice acting impressions.
We demand a full orc cover of Chip the glasses!!! 🤣

Nostalgia hits hard
How did you get it in HD?
Your impressions had me rolling!
Must be emulation, the game isn't supported by Xbox backwards compatability (most likely due to licencing).
@@Myrillin He's actually playing on the PC port. You can download it legally for free since it's now abandonware.

I watched several of your videos without subscribing, but that Gandalf subscribe rant was so good it made me subscribe.
5:53 The 1 thing all orcs can agree on.
What in the world! I played the heck out of this game when I was a kid. How did i not appreciate this masterpiece right here? I forgot all of this.
The amount of hours i spent on rise of sauron
Bro, the impressions had my dying haha. That Saruman sequence was so funny!
This is one of the best games I’ve ever played!!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane friend :,)
Voice acting in your videos go wild lmao especially that orc song man
I love how you voiced everyone XD
might have to get this game one day
I had completely forgotten this game until your video popped in my feed. opened up a treasure trove of memories.
