    Bad Taste

    There are some things in mmo's and large RPG games that should never take place, and features that should be in every game in some way, shape, or form. These features should be in the game before it is released..

    And this is how I start my review of LOTRO, bitter, angry and generally pissed?

    Yep. I wanted to get my girlfriend into mmo's and I pick this one based on the rave reviews people gave it. Not having arrows on the maps, directions, or otherwise anything indicating where to go, left the worst taste in my mouth and keeps my girlfriend from trying another mmo. We do not spend our free time walking around a game world for 2 hours, just to look for the next location for a sidequest.

    Worst game purchase ever, and I didn't even subscribe.

      I really dont understand the occasional bad reviews you see said about this game. Ive been into RPGs for years, as for MMOs, i was a WoW fanboy since its release, I loved Guildwars and dabbled in WAR. I went back to WoW recently to play the expansion and thought it was ok but i just felt that id been there, done that. Every place you go theres some ogres that all live in the same rehashed caves, theres scorpions that you need to kill 20 of etc etc. Its sad really because i remember how much i us...
