If I can be a little nitpicky here: In the beginning the dwarf said: "Ah, the Mines of Moria. I hope this will lead to Dwarrowdelf." Now the Mines of Moria is just a nickname for Khazad Dum. Which translates to Dwarrowdelf.

So basically he just said: "Ah, Dwarrowdelf. I hope this will lead to Dwarrowdelf."

(Alright fine, they probably refer to the actual mines of Khazad Dum. And with "Dwarrowdelf" possibly just the Pillar-hall. But that's still wrong so I win.)

Is that really the best gameplay they could show? Not much happened. Visually it's extremely outdated.

As long as they're not trying to charge $60 it's fine I guess.

I think that may have been the most boring gameplay demo I have ever seen. 13 minutes of fuck all

I really don't care about outdated graphics, but unless the exploration is brilliant, I don't see much potential content. Combat looked 'hack and slash' without proper mechanism.

Jesus, this thing looks like a switch game yet still struggles with getting an acceptable framerate. And the animations... Do the devs know we're well past 6th gen?

Why does this remind me of Yogventures?

I was super excited for this game, and after watching that gameplay video, removed it from my wishlist. Was really hoping for a good moria survival game, but all the mechanics in this video look subpar.

Nah, Deep Rock look way better and more fun

The game better be GotY-level of enjoyable to justify that level of jank.

Narrator: "It wasn't."

It’s prealpha, I would expect some improvements

I get a Valheim mixed with LOTR vibes, I can't remember if this is coming from a big studio or not....

Where does one go to play a good LOTR game these days? Feels like there a is a big void.
