Finally I can realize my lifelong dream of living in a hole in the ground. But not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: rather a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

The idea of Animal Crossing in the Shire sounds cool, but I'm curious how that will work out. One of the things that's fun with Animal Crossing is you can do what you want with the whole island and you have a lot of different styles to choose from. I think centering it around Hobbits is restrictive especially if you can only manage your own property and not the whole Shire.

There better be a way to make my hobbit look like Gollum

For me the wholesome, slow, and simple life draw of the Shire is at its best when contrasted with the dark, uncertain, and evil shadows that can befall Middle Earth.

You know a ideia is genius when it seemed really obvious all along. I get the feeling the man himself would love this, especially if it has overly long descriptions of fauna/flora!

Man, this looks like a crossover between the original Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles and Animal Crossing

ah a chance to see the shire in all its peaceful splendor rather than the first 15 mins of a film

Promising. Will keep an eye on this.

See now if there is any firm of combat or exploring dungeons, then this would be giving Crystal Chronicles energy. I'm interested in this game enough to see more of it.

Dunno, feels more like Harvest Moon than Crystal Chronicles...

Hobbit fishes, skips, decorates home, gardens. Narrator: “Hobbits really are amazing creatures.” Such benign game

Hmmmmm...let's say I expect MUCH more in term of visual, especially when it comes from Weta Workshop. This looks...generic.

It should be "Forge Friendships", not "Forage Friendships". Unless there are friendships buried in the ground and you have to forage for them.

I'm a bit shocked at the number of positive comments. This feels like it misses the mark for a LOTR game. Most of the draw to The Hobbit and LOTR for me is the struggle between good and evil. However, there is clearly there is another LOTR audience happy to stay in the Shire and skip the story ;)

@rufex2001 14 күн бұрын

Visuals look pretty bad, it seems they want to give it a cute look that will age well, but instead looks like low res realistic, like lacking lots of needed detail in faces, tree leaves, etc.

I've always wanted an RPG that lets you explore the whole of Middle Earth, and the Shire was most definitely the first place I wanted to visit. In essence, I'm very happy to see this.

Have you ever played lord of the rings online? It’s exactly that: a LOTR rpg where you can explore and travel the entirety of middle earth, while battling bad guys and joining fellowships to go on quests together. You can play as a hobbit, dwarf, elf, human, etc. Its awesome.

@mcparidise No, never heard of it, thanks!
