Mordor: Shadow of War release and reviews

[Gusington]

Slash you can get the first one for around 5 dollah now, definitely worth that.

Is it worth it Precious? Is it worth five.... dollahs? For five dollahs Precious can getses a Chia-Hobbit with plantses growing out of its nasty head and feetses.

Played for a couple of hours. If you liked Shadow of Mordor, this is a no brainer.

Also, Shelob is weirdly...hot...when she's not being all giant spider.

Say what?

I got bored of Mordor quite quickly. I honestly can't sit here and say that it was the game's fault...I do have a bit of a "shiny new" syndrome.

After reading JP's initial post I found this interesting article on the Rock/Paper/Shotgun site. I don't own the game and never played the original but still found the article interesting and wonder if other new release AAA games will do the same? https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/10/09/do-you-need-loot-boxes-to-complete-shadow-of-wars-final-act/#more-483675

Still waiting (in vain) for other games to copy the nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor but for whatever reason that hasn't happened yet.

Okay, that article makes sense.  O0

But if it is true that you can't finish a full priced game without making micro-transactions, well, suffice it to say it troublesome to think it might catch on with other developers.

I don't think I'll buy this - I'll just simply walk into it

But one does not simply walk into....  Ah, I see what you did there.   8)

[Arctic Blast]

Say what?

You'll see.

[Gusington]

Oh Lord.

[Arctic Blast]

Oh Lord.

Quite.

[Gusington]

Quite.
