I cut my nemesis carried over from the first game in half and he came back with the epithet "the machine," talking about being put back together better than before and how the synthesis of flesh and metal will beat me. then he beat my rear end with an exploding cursed quickfire crossbow

I came across a mute orc that had his own little hype man that talked for him. I really like stuff like that, and I wish there was more of that aspect and less of listening to my ghost partner drone on and on about this ring I've already heard about nine thousand times.

I wish they'd ditched the LOTR universe entirely and went full blown comical evil high fantasy, and basically made Overlord III

they're also restrained to locations that are in LOTR. there were a lot of cool mechanics in the first game, like the speedboost parkour where you'd get momentum off hopping through obstacles and stuff, reading enemies minds for sentry positions, using combo points in fights to do big flashy finishing moves, etc. wish you could take the main character from this and their powers and put them in a better game lol

come to think of it minus the parkour MGS5 does a lot of the things this game does but way better. also you can box slide in mgs5 or ride a big mech scooter around so there's that

Would you recommend it to someone that really loved the first one?

Yeah it's basically the first one but bigger and better. the biggest issue so far if you played the first one is you have to go through a few hours of story before you get the ability to brand orcs again

I haven't really got to the important stuff (orc armies/sieges etc) yet, but so far it's definitely Shadow of Mordor 2

Well the good news is that it only takes 3 points to unlock that auto loot thing so I was able to get it immediately.

I ran into an orc earlier that could heal himself while you were busy attacking other enemies during a story mission with infinite enemies. Also, directly attacking him without doing a stun combo first did damage to you, and his normal attacks took off half your health.

He was definitely the toughest guy I've fought in either Mordor game, and I think it took almost half an hour to kill him, but it was really satisfying

Ting! Ping! Slyurrsh, gaaaah!! The sounds of my elven steel can be heard echoing across the battlefield, when a small waif of an orc captain named Paddock Klepekian the Wise, asks me one simple question: "Is this really the aesthetic you wish to lavish in?" A wokeness befell my soul, my cool sword w/elven letters that glow on it when I land a 15 hit combo dropped into the mud, never to see the light of day again.

That's when it all changed for me. I abruptly turned the game off and sat on the biggest dildo I could find.
