quote:

A legend among the Orcs of Mordor, Forthog Orcslayer is an unstoppable warrior who saves Mordor’s mightiest heroes at their moment of greatest need.

Mike ""Forthog"" Forgey was our Executive Producer and great friend here at Monolith. He was always ready to leap into the fray and save the game whenever and wherever he was most needed. We lost Mike to cancer during the development of Shadow of War, and we want to remember and honor him with a little bit of immortality in Mordor. The legendary Forthog Orcslayer is our way to continue having Mike leap into battle and save us when we're down.

We hope that you will share in the experience of being saved by the legendary Forthog Orcslayer as you enter the land of shadow.

(WB Games will donate to the Forgey family $3.50 from every purchase of the Forthog Orcslayer made from any 1 of the 50 United States or D.C. (but, excluding purchases made from AL, HI, IL, MA, MS and SC) through December 31, 2019. Void where prohibited by law. Your purchase is not tax deductible.}

It would be quite the event if the game was somehow able to reverse the course it's currently on in terms of relevancy.

Like not including games that started off unknown and then grew big, what games started off hyping themselves up to be the next big multiplayer thing, launched, tanked in terms of player retention and then grew exponentially into a massive behemoth?

The thing a lot of the Kotaku/Eurogamer/etc. articles missed is that the charity stuff that the DLC is doing ($3.50 of every $5 purchase goes to the guys family) only applies to 44 US states. Worldwide. Every purchase outside the US will just be straight up pocketed by WB.

Ok so somebody is lying about something here:

quote:



We followed up with Warner Bros. to ask for an explanation, and it sent over the following statement to Eurogamer tonight:

"Neither Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment nor Monolith Productions will profit from any sales of the Forthog Orc-Slayer DLC regardless of the territory in which that DLC is sold."

Now, this statement, while frustrating in its lack of clarity, does suggest that no matter which territory you buy the Forthog Orc-Slayer DLC from, Warner Bros. will make its $3.50 donation. It just seems unable to say so explicitly, no doubt for some mind-numbing corporate legal reason.

I guess it's nice that those kinds of licensed games are less of a thing now

They're all mobile games now with energy meters and poo poo.

Also they're lucky that eventually they become unplayable as phones get upgraded and you literally can't play/download those old games anymore. Bad for people who want to preserve that kind of history, good for games that would rather people forget about them.

I'm not the only one who almost never replays a game after they beat it, but will load a completed game save to just...well walk around the game world if it allows me to, right?

Like I really don't think I'd want to play all the way through Oblivion, Skyrim, New Vegas etc. again but I still have saves of the games where everything is wrapped up, my characters just chilling in their houses.

Last week when all the shader discourse was going on I was trying to remember what game it was that did a similarly bizarre and lovely thing with it's color options.

I only just recently remembered it was Fable 3. Fable 2 had a poo poo load of dyes available in the main game with which to dye each part of your clothes. One of the most popular dyes being of course, simply pitch black.

Fable 3 had Black Dye available as part of a Dye DLC pack. You couldn't dye any of your clothes black if you didn't pay the MS points equivalent of a dollar back then.

And it wasn't even day one DLC it was like, two weeks later DLC after most people who bought the game had already completed it or returned it.
