The Lord of the Rings: Gollum gets a big patch with multiple fixes
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum has been, by far, one of the biggest disappointments of the year. Fans of the fantastic universe of Middle-earth have harshly
The new update for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum one of the lowest rated games of the year includes bug fixes and progression crashes.
One disadvantage to digital distribution is that companies can't bury every copy of a game in the desert if it's really bad.
The poor desert. It would not deserve 100000 Gollum cartridges.
I feel so bad for them, there are few things in software dev worse than having to devote significant time and effort to a project that is failed at a concept level
There's no way to fix this game. The core game is shit
Great! That'll be awesome for the two people that bought it
Great! Now I can more reliably realize how shit it is!
There is no patch big enough to cover this foul excretion of mordor.
Are they working on a patch to uninstall the game and replace it with a different, better game?
Would be amazing to see it get the No Man's Sky treatment
I don't even think that would help... I mean, the concept and design is bad from the outset. It's not just the execution that was bad.
The difference is NMS always had a solid concept
Even if you fix Gollum, all you're gonna get is a generic 3rd person action-adventure game. We got this game about a hundred times in the Xbox/PS2 era.
No Man's Sky was worth salvaging because it did something mechanically different. Gollum is like if you took one of those PS2 Harry Potter games, dropped it into UE4, and changed which licensed property the game uses.
Yeah, but PS1 era Chamber of Secrets was tight. I’d play the mess out of that with upgrades graphics.
10 years from now the entire world economy is surrounding around Gollum. Everybody are having their own Gollum avatars and own precious properties in the game.
I agree, seeing Gollum start his journey across space to start a completely different game would be quite an improvement.
I refuse to even touch No Man's Sky. I'm sure the game is fine at this point, but I refuse to support a company that thought they could get away with what they attempted to do. Just like KSP2 - sure, they labeled it "Early Access" but they charged full game prices for that thing back in February. It's been half a year later, and there has been literal zero movement on their release roadmap.
They should really just move on. This game is a failure, and there's no way to save it.
Doesn't sound like there is a company left to "move on", and providing patches whist they find some kind of investment to do something new or fold is a good thing.
Unless you would prefer they just sit on their hands .
Doesn't seem to be much difference tbh.
I'm honestly surprised it was even released.
