Gollum's Platinum Is ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE

In todays video, I attempt to platinum The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum 🏆

This is hands down the worst game I have played in an extremely long time and the platinum is just as buggy as you'd expect. There as so many reasons as to why this game should've never seen the light of day and if you're debating buying this game, PLEASE DON'T!!!

Shoutout to these amazing people for helping with the platinum as I couldn't of done it without you all!

Just to add, I completely understand the reason why the names are so basic but thank you all for letting me know 😊

The main reason I pointed it out was more to do with the fact that, because they were so basic, it became hard to remember who was who. Multiple enemy characters had the same "Cruel" adjective before their name and it became hard to keep up with it 😅

Also, thank you all so much for the support on this video!! I really do appreciate every single one of you! <3

I 100% thought, in that scene with the big white orc at about 5:50, the options were "threaten", "beg" and "give head". And thought the developers really put their own spin on this

[Amyante]

You could literally replace Gollum with any other random captured slave and the plot would make more sense.

The funny thing is that, according to the developers, they didn't want to just copy Jackson's movie trilogy and wanted to make their own original visuals based on the original books. Yet, they failed miserably on both fronts: Not only did they end up copying Gollum's look from the movies anyway (deliberately or inadvertently, who knows), but in their attempt to make him look "different" and "original" they just ended up making him look really bad and laughable.

[HammerStern]

This game was so close to being perfect. All they had to do was burn all copies before releasing it.

[Evnyofdeath]

TO BE FAIR player models turning invisible when the camera gets too close IS in fact a technique a lot of very well polished games use to prevent the camera from clipping into it and showing the inside

[AlexLopezMan]

this game really makes you feel the torture Gollum went before shout "Shire! Baggins!"

[CarlosThadeu]

The fact that the trophy for not dying is "how did you do that?" is so unbelieveably ironic lmao

[LovuxTheGreat]

30:47 The swimming achievement could be a reference to Smeagol knowing how to swim, which is apparently very rare (or at least uncommon) among hobbits. Remember, he and his cousin Deagol found the Ring at the bottom of a river after all. See also Frodo's parents drowning in a boating accident when he was a child and Sam almost drowning while running after Frodo when Frodo departs following the Fellowship breakup.

Thank you for your sacrifice soldier for playing such a horrible game

[PatrickMuster]

that people still get hyped for pre rendered trailers without gameplay is honestly the scariest part

[TheYodelingViking]

I think the worst part isn't getting the trophy, but waking up every day knowing you spent time and money on this game when literally anything else would have been a better use of either.

[jaimeedowell]

They had the entire LOTR universe to play with and this is what they chose to create

[theworldoflivvy]

I'm genuinely surprised none of the achievements weren't just straight up broken and impossible to get. I feel like I've seen broken achievements in better games. So, I guess the guy who programmed the achievements actually knew what they were doing. Good for them, I guess!

[YasonYou]

I honestly don't mind the characters having generic and unspecific names. Perhaps Gollum doesn't know or doesn't care to learn their actual names. Perhaps they occupy a minimal space in his mind as mere archetypes. I think it is a neat bit of world/character building for Gollum in an otherwise absolutely garbage game.

[wolker]

Nice video, and thanks for the big shoutout, man! ❤ It's crazy how many bugs you and some other people had in this game. I literally had 0, except for a few weird/missed jumps. Regarding the "Sweet Darkness" trophy, you just have to turn off 10 lanterns in the game, and not all of them. And for the stone trophy, you have to throw a total of 50 stones.

[Burusagi]

It was a bold and brave move to give Gollum the Moe Howard bowl cut I must say.

[EazyB]

This video was actually the first time I saw the Frail Man's beard animation when he speaks. I'd heard about it, but actually seeing it had my jaw on the floor.

Pretty sure most people involved with making this game realized ages ago that they had a Mumakil-sized disaster on their hands, and aside from still having to work on patches, are now just happy that it's over.

[pirusaogostoso]

The way Gollum is unprotected while strangling the characters and how little they try to take him off is just funny to me

[kingfreedom]

I figured that this game would either not have any trophies because it was clearly created for the PS2 and didn't get an update since then, or it would have been like one of those instant-achievement games that are released on Steam and would just front-load all of it's trophies at the beginning as a reason to purchase the game altogether.
