I mean, that's more effort than was put into the rest of the script ...

Why is anyone even still talking about this game?

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

I just saw it on the PlayStation store on sale for like $50. May as well just give it away at this point and I still won't play it, it's silly they're charging that much for it still, especially since the devs shut down

A German Youtube channel named Game Two, did a documentation about what went wrong and released it this weekend. Like the Developers they are based in Hamburg and did many interviews with former employees. It's linked in the article but unfortunately only available in German.

Weren't given the funds? This game is bad for many reasons and none of them are because they were only given 15 million euros to make it.

They should hire me. I can come up with something twice as bad, for half as much!

Come on studios, it's only 7.5 mil...

If you could deliberately make a game that bad I would unironcally buy it

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd release the game on all major platforms, but make it entirely using RPG Maker and MS Paint.

You don't have to keep selling me on it. I already said you could have my money

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

ok it is absolutely hilarious that the apology letter calls the game 'The Lord of Ring: Gollum'
