It depends upon the limit of how much people understand the concept. Most of those that don't like it don't understand it and don't want to understand it so they make assumptions.

It's something I just said on the spot as I was thinking back to Mad Libs as a kid and filling the blanks with stupid stuff....filling in the mistakes of ME3 with farts and boogies made me laugh as well and I'm grown

This thread. I like it. Someone make popcorn.

But if we're hashtag real-talkin' like all the cool kids these days, well for [censored]'s sake is it even an arguement? Tolkien is nigh untouchable.

G.G.R.M. is almost there if not there already.

George? No he isn't even close...

Meh, I like him more than Tolkien.

And why do we grow up Master Wayne?

-To get back u-

No Master Wayne. So we may act small again!

In terms of characters it could be said he exceeds Tolkien. But world building and lore? Not even close.

I suppose I hold characters to a higher standard than worlds and lore.

Tolkien of course.. Ive started to think, are they gonna let LotR die, like its the freaking time for LotR game ffs, it must survive! Theres some small single playing games... then Turbines LotR online. For the love of God, we need some awesome multiplatform game asap.

Found this.. http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/05/04/the-road-to-mordor-could-lord-of-the-rings-online-end-in-2014/

About a year after LotRO's launch, Turbine announced that it had inked a deal with Middle-earth Enterprises to extend the license for Lord of the Rings through 2014 with options to extend it through 2017. Aha, you say, that's where the slightly alarmist title for this column comes in!

Im having hard time to believe they're quitting it... I predict we see something awesome soon. I personally think they should go for the maximal

visibility. Skyrim kind of multiplatform game for next gen consoles, expansion added every two year or so, and maybe smaller bet on MMO space for true fanatics.

I'd like to see a continuation of the Battle for Middle Earth RTS games
