How did you feel about the Lord of the rings games?Is this really the greatest love story ever told in vidya?
cliche elf waifu trope. boo
>>739196475Tell that to my ex-wife!
>>739196475SHE WAS UNDERAGE 2760 YEARS AGO
>>739196475no way she didn't ride Big Orc Cock with that lifespan
>>739196475Go back to l*ddit
>>739196956you sick fuck
I was always more of a Faramir and Eowyn man, myself.
>>739196475Lord of the rings is for little kids. Literally.
i'm tam boroir btw
>>739196475>loved the movied>try reading the books>they're the most boring shit everI couldt even make past the first few chapters. Frodo hadnt even left the Shire yet. I get it dude you like nature and you probably spent a lot of time in it, now can we stop with the multiple pages long detailed description of every single plant and tree they encounter?
>>739196475erm, thats a problematic age gap
>greatest love store>told solely through nebulous dialogue and an appendix
>>739196475I like BFME2, still play it sometimes
>>739198662Holy, this is just sad, anon
>>739198662just watch a tiktok of some big titty girl reading the book in 2x while half the screen is subway surfers like the rest of your generation
Who cares about love stories if you've never experienced it yourself?
Aragorn was my rolemodel growing up
>>739196475i got filtered by the hobbit ps2 game near the end because i was shit at the platforming. two towers was kind of cool too. also, idk.
>>739198662anime is the reverse. the show sucks, the manga rips.
>>739198662Tolkien was a worldbuilder first and a storyteller second
>>739198662I loved the books so much as a kid. I read them from back to back like 3-4 times straight. Was reading so much i fell asleep while reading, woke up, continued reading until i fell asleep completely
>>739196475>love is when you die from preventable illness (aging in the case of elves)
>>739196475Okay but what is Aragorn's tax policy
>>739196475>2700 age differenceyea unc this isnt it
Chocolate or Vanilla?
>>739196475Couldn't they let Aragorn go to the place the elves were going, like they did with Frodo. Then Arwen could go with him and wouldn't have to renounce her immortality.
>>739201154No because he wasn’t an elf/ringbearer/Gimli
Any kind of thinking being would go insane if they lived for 2000 years.
>>739198405and stuff for adults is babyish nowadays. It's crazy how inverted things are.
>>739198662you're just low iq
>>739201146oreo
>>739196475if they made the LOTR films today they would make jokes about how Aragorn is a virgin or make him fuck Eowyn before marrying Arwen
>>739196475You tell me he smashed that pussy for over 100 years? Death was probably a relief.
wtf she's a PEDOPHILE
>>739201763sounds like mortalfag cope
>>739196475damn arwen was a pedo
>>739201154The Undying Lands doesn't make people immortal, Aragorn would still die since he was of the race of Men. Frodo still died in the Undying Lands he just got to spend the rest of his days in an earthly paradise.
>read the Two Towers>get to Boromir's death and burial >still somehow more emotional than the movie despite Tolkien never going into full detail in how he died honestly I’m pissed I never gave these books a chance sooner, I just got to the Ents, I don’t know how to describe but I like how serious then “whimsical” Tolkien can get from a drop of a hat.
>>739196475When I see stuff like this, I just think cringe incel pandering
when an old elf lady is around a human males>you just know
>>739202392yeah I love the Jackson movies but when you read the books you see he fucked up a lot of characters and scenes in a way that feels arbitrary and unnecessary
>>739202428Why?
>>739201841>oreo
>>739196475They're barely on screen together
>>739202497Because it's appealing to losers who want to date women out of their league.
>>739196475I don't think that person knows what the word "story" means
>>739202601Arwen isn't out of Aragorn's league.
>>739202601Aragorn is out of her league though, there literally isn't a single more eligible being in middle earth
Bruh not even the kind of mankind is good enough for hoes these days
>>739198662I'll admit that once Frodo and sam split off the main group their story is a lot more boring than everyone else's. but that's all I'll say, the books were great
>>739202649>>739202719She's a 9 billion year old elf royalty while he's a faggot human with a fake crown.>NOOOOO HE HAS 9000 DIFFERENT LINEAGE TRACING BACK TO IS-Nobody gives a shit about that
>>739198662fictional books are very mid in general, completely inferior to animation/movies
>>739202392Boromir is better in the books. A true hero and the party all regarded him as such on his passing. Lament for Boromir is a big omission.
>>739196475yet more Catholic miscegenation brainwashing
>>739202827The men of numenor mog the fuck out of high elves
>>739202827Aragorn aura mogged the ring wraiths into fleeing from him, no one else in middle earth could have done that without a magic ring
>>739201763>Any kind of thinking being would go insane if they lived for 2000 years.The longer you live, the faster time flies by. The PS5 released 6 years ago.
>>739202827Aragorn is literally more royal than she is. Elrond is just the bitch lord of the armpit of the Noldor kingdom. It's not like she's Gil-galad's daughter.
NOW its the greatest love story ever told
>le 5 page description of a tree!I reread the books recently and I really don't get where this meme came from.When Tolkien goes into autistic detail about something, it's almost always either about hobbit society, or about the origins of some song a character just sang/is about to sing.
>>739202827This isn't even a secondary it's a tertiary.
>>739203025Black Galadriel singlehandedly stopped my wife from picking up magic the gathering
>>739200584>>739199623
>>739196475Why do the elves leave at the end of the last book?I never understood that part. Is that Tolkien's way of saying that after the Ring was destroyed, the "magical" races gradually began to disappear?Those talking trees, for example, no longer had any females, so they were destined to go extinct. It's kind of like Tolkien wanted to imply that the world would become more human and less magical for some reason...
>>739202892Boromir falling to corruption from the ring then immediately hating himself after he scares Frodo off was great. I thought these books would be a bit outdated for some reason (I don’t read much lol) and I have been pleasantly surprised, I’m sorry for doubting Tolkien
>>739203279That's exactly right. Remember that these stories technically take place in our own world in the distant past.
>>739196475Isnt the love story of Beren and Luthien considered the greatest love story in Arda?
>>739203279elves were only sent to middle earth to prep it for the human bullhell a lot of the elves like Galadriel were only still there because they pissed off God and weren't allowed back into heaven until they redeemed themselves
>>739202956>>739202990>>739203005Is this a samefag replying on his mobile device?The narrative 100% presented their romance as immortal elf x mortal man, which is incel pandering. All that other extra shit he has on his resume, some of which we don’t learn about right away for the “zomg he’s also WHAT” effect, is textbook incel pandering for the losers that wanna be him.
>>739203467I just don't see how it's incel pandering I guess.. :\
>>739203467Arwen is the loser for grooming the human boy king that her dad adopted into being her husbandWithout him she'd just be another low tier elf (and if she did go back to valinor where all the gigachad elves live this would only be exacerbated tenfold)
>>739203467Nigga everyone wanted to be Aragorn.
Just stop replying to it
>>739201154he was also the king of gondor.>>739201763maybe you're gay
>>739202050Frodo never made it into the undying lands. The decree of the Valar was never changed even for him. No mortal can step into the Undying lands.
>>739202956>men of numenor mog the fuck out of high elvesNah.
>>739198662
>>739196475God no.The best love stories have one thing in common; they're not developed OFF-SCREEN. Even in the movie trilogy, with additional scenes put in to actually emphasize the relationship, it still comes off as developed off-screen.
>>739203025Should've made Arwen black instead of Aragorn.It'd have been more based if Elrond was some half-Elf mutt with dark skin.
>>739196475>How did you feel about the Lord of the rings games?There's a bunch of decent ones but we truly haven't had a great LOTR game in ages.>Is this really the greatest love story ever told in vidya?Far from it. The pairing's honestly kinda bland
>>739196475imagine living for almost 3000 yearsyou could play so many videogames
What the fuck do the elves do in 3000 years? Why do they still live in the woods and have low numbers? Low test? Space elves would be a thing if they had 10% of human ambition.
>>739200584
>>739205624>What the fuck do the elves do in 3000 years?Make problems the other races have to deal with.
>>739205624Isn't that a trope in fantasy, that humans are uniquely ambitious and pioneering?
>>739205624The Valar live in palaces surrounded by woods and they are basically gods on earth. Why would the elves try to mutilate the world the gods created if the creators themselves love nature? It's only the people that were denied the splendor of the Valara and got touched by the evil of Morgoth that feel they have to change the world in their image. Which is a very Morgoth thing to do.
>>739205290>You're an elf>You wake up 2026>You go back to your elf cabin inna woods or somethingHow many years do you think you have to sleep before games get good again?
>>7392059785 months until gta 6, it's goty
>>739206341an elf would never sully themselves with console faggotry.
How's LOTRO? I remember playing it years ago as a teenager and thinking it was okay.>>739198662I'll be that guy and play devil's advocate. The fellowship book is the weakest part of the series. 1/4th of it is a borderline moe anime where nothing happens and it's just Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry faffing about the Shire. Once all the lads actually form the fellowship, it starts to pick up.
>>739196475I remember liking Return of the King and The Third Age on PS2, though the Third Age was kinda ass in retrospect. fun idea to take LoTR and make a FFX clone in it though.
>>739205719>uniquely ambitious and pioneeringThat's not a traits of humans but part of the taint of Morgoth which infected all living being born after he infused Arda with his evil.
>>739196475How the fuck do you renounce your racial traits? Why couldn't she just sail to valinor after Viggogorn died?
>>739206413It's still LOTRO. I think the later expansions did much better at making sure you got to experience the actual moments you'd want to in a LOTR game and justifying why you're there on in the area. But it's now sorta in this awkward post return of the king era where they trying to figure out what to do next.
>>739196475I don't get it, so he died before her and that made her depressed, aren't there at least 1 million other stories like this?
>>739206763we even got a game about with with Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth
