The sequel to Shadow of Mordor comes out tomorrow. The previews have made some pretty big promises about how encounters & the nemesis stuff is generated uniquely for each player and if it lives up to the expectations its gonna be an easy GOTY


I really liked the original but I had to play it on PS3 that had a broken nemesis system and serious issues with graphical and sound glitches so I never finished the last leg of it but I cant wait to play this

I still have hope that this will be good, loot BS aside, but... aren't you forgetting something?

As in, the couple dozen better games that already came out this year, and Super Mario Odyssey?

I want it but it's not like the first game which came out in a year filled with nothing. Between the loot aids and a 100gig pc install I'll wait for a sale.

I do hope the Fortress siege stuff is as fun as the scripted game footage made it look because I need something that scratches that itch and Mount and Blade II won't be coming out for another five years.

I'm gonna wait and see if the Loot Box aids thing is too dire before making any decisions

This game would have to be completely loving amazing for me to be interested in it, for a few reasons such as thus:

- I already burnt out on the first game like 40% into the story, doesn't seem like the gameplay has changed much if at all
- Hearing that they doubled down on the 500 million stats your enemies have I'm sure sounds good to some but not to me. You don't need 90% of that poo poo, it's useless fluff. Here's what they need to tell you: This guy is doesn't like fire/animals/bees. (Attacks) won't work on this guy. THat's it
- WB Newsletter AIDS just puts me off in general
- I don't care about the protagonist and couldn't tell you his or anyone elses name in the game.

It'll probly end up being perfectly fine, even good. I just don't want to play it. My 2c.

I played all the way through Mordor and enjoyed it but agree with most of that. Probably going to wait for this one to be on sale too unless they do something really special with it

I'm going to wait for confirmation that the loot crate micro transaction stuff can be ignored easily enough and then I'll definitely get it if so. I like the first one a lot and I'm excited about the actual army you can build and the fortress assaults. I just hope it's harder than the first one so you can actually make use of the nemesis stuff but I guess having your own army have captains that will remember if you've helped them out or screwed them over somehow will help with that.

I thought this was going to be more like mgs5 in terms of building your own army but i guess that was just one video

I want this but I know if I got it at the same time as mario odyssey's release it would just be ignored for months then forgotten. Hunting down orcs without paying attention to the story or missions was really fun in the first one

Is there really a snarky sidekick ork now or was that just scripted e3 stuff?

The only reason the first game was so well received and not as a mediocre game with one great idea is because it came out in one of the worst years in video games.

I can't remember another year where a game won multiple GOTYs with every single article going out of their way to justify the decision

your companions are supposed to have random personality traits but im sure its all gonna end up being canned poo poo on loop. it looks like they did away with the 'world' that was just mostly empty space anyway and went to set piece levels with stages, that could be fun

I refuse to play a game where auto-pick up loot is an option locked behind a skill point, let alone a game where that skill point is at the end of a tree

Nah I've watched some vids and the army management stuff is honestly probably more in-depth than MGSV . Like imagine if you actually had your fulton'sd guys fighting in the field with you

I get that loot boxes/micros are just a part of life for every big game now but it really irks me that after numerous companies have proven you can make poo poo tons of money off them with just cosmetic items that are tucked away in a non-invasive menu someone would force it down your throat like this
