TCP Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Trying to get a level 25 ruin, this is awful. But once I get that, I just need to finish the last mission and then I'll have the platinum.

deanb Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 So word is they're teasing a sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I forgot I was going to buy that when I got a new console so I could get it with the nemesis system. Seems more expensive than last time I looked though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Â Target leaked it, expected to be announced properly tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielpholt Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Based on absolutely no evidence I'm going to predict that Shadow of War is a bad game that fails to build on what came before it. Â Come at me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Even if it fails to build on what came before that wouldn't make it a bad game, just a mediocre one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 As a Tolkien nerd, I really hate that Shadow of Mordor was set in MIddle-Earth. Good game, but having the ghost of Celebrimbor possess a human from Mordor makes no sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I kinda liked the game.  edit: anywho trailer just went up  Also GOH if you dislike what they did to the lore in the first one, a second One Ring isn't going to please you.  Also I guess it covers how it loses his powers, Celibrimbor gets split from him. And then you'll need to build up your power base again. Also Balrog and Ringwraith boss fights in this one I guess. Also Sauron has a body (though him being a big flaming eyeball is only a movie thing, but design wise it's obviously pulling from the movies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Yeah, but the literal flaming eye was incredibly stupid. Â Like, it was fine when it was just what Frodo was seeing when he wore the ring, but once it became clear that it was actually like that in Mordor, and not just a metaphoric representation, it was stupid.

deanb Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Not as stupid as fighting the eye itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I forgot about the Sauron boss fight. So dumb.  I think they could have set Shadows of Mordor in the Second Age, or, if they wanted tons of different baddies, the First Age. It would be cool to play as an elf fighting against Morgoth's hordes, and it would also make sense to have balrogs in the mix, as well as different types of dragons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalCaveman Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I liked the first one, the nemesis system was cool, and using the wraith powers to controls orcs was awesome. \m/ \m/ This one looks interesting, will keep an eye on it.

Mal Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Wow, the mutilation of Tolkien lore continues. I'm with Goh, there's just so much more you can do with the First or Second Age and it has more leeway in terms of artistic liberties. Plus, you get to duke it out with Morgoth's armies which makes Sauron's adventures bottom bitch level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Shadow of Mordor was an alright Arkham's Creed type game but when I finally played it I really felt like most people saw something in it that I didn't. Not getting this one until a significant discount but all I'm really hoping for is for the Nemesis system to be fleshed out and become something more interesting. Having combat encounters constantly be interrupted by assholes coming at me with their fucking cutscenes is not "emergent storytelling", it's just fucking annoying.

Mr. GOH! Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I should be clear; I really enjoyed the nemesis system and I wish another developer would refine it for a different IP. Â I will wait for reviews and a price drop to get the sequel, probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Whole lotta nerd talk goin' on in here.     Remember when Mordor came out and everyone was like "wow I can't wait for other devs to copy this idea into different franchises". What the hell happened to that? I want this in Ass Creed. EDIT: I was talking about the nemesis system, if that wasn't clear.

deanb Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I've not played the game, but someone on twitter suggested Mafia III would have done well with it. Â And yeah, folks are like "but it takes a while to develop a game", and yeah 3 years later these are on their second and everyone else is nowhere to be seen with anything similar. Like...what about say Ghost Recon Wildlands maybe having it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 While we need more details, the "environmental" Nemesis system they are touting now sounds a lot like how bases reacted to you in MGSV. So if anything, Monolith got ideas from the outside. And on the outside, if anybody should take it up a Nemesis-like system, it's Bethesda for Fallout/Elder Scrolls and Rockstar for GTA/RDR2. Especially Bethesda since their game worlds are pretty dead when you really look at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Â Gameplay video. You're defo going to Osgiliath. And seems your nemesis system gets a massive ramp up. I guess the ring, as the main One Ring, is what lets you control orcs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
