Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor ?

[Martok]

Please don't laugh (unless it becomes a health risk to contain it), but does the PC version require a console-style controller?  Or can it be played reasonably well with a mouse/keyboard?

That's a good question.  Some of those multi-platform Action games aren't adapted to mouse & keyboard well at all and a controller would is recommended.  I dunno if that's the case here.  Been wondering too.

...Anyway, if you like the batman or assassin creed games, or if you have an interest in LOTR lore, this one is pretty much a no-brainer....

Must...resist...temptation...to buy this game...I feel that I'm failing though.  Tell me can you play as an Ork?  Or is this from the human and other 'good guys' perspective only?

You cannot play as an Orc. You play the role of Talion, a murdered Ranger of Gondor who has returned from the spirit world to exact vengeance. The character is somehow linked with the spirit of an elven king, too.  As I said, the plot is a bit convoluted..lol.

I caved and purchased the pc version, hope to play later tonight.

Ok then.  I'm seeing that my local Gamestop has this game in.  Now I'm staring at my car keys... :)

Would someone with the PC version mind checking to see if it's possible to remap the keys please?

It appears so....you can select an action and assign a specific key to it....not sure if there are any limitations as to what keys can actually be used.  Is there a specific action you would want to remap to a specific key?  If so let me know and I can see if I can do it.

I'm trying to think of the last time a AAA game kinda flew under the radar like this and was greeted with a near universal "wow, this is surprisingly awesome!!!" response.  (...or maybe it's not too hard if you count Elite: Dangerous, although that game does still have a certain indy street-cred.)

Not sure this really appeals to me but I have to admit, I feel like I'm missing out on something big.

Thanks Grim.  I appreciate the effort on my behalf.  I'd like to know if it's possible to remap the move keys to the number pad.

RPS says that the game can be played with a mouse and keyboard but we are better off playing with a gamepad.

Yes, seemed to work...mapped forward to num8. back to num2, left to num4, and right to num6 without an issue

Yes, you can play with either....I am using a controller....the battles are pretty fast and furious, especially against groups, would be very hard for me to use keyboard...but I guess if you are good with keyboard you could make it work.

Excellent.  Thanks again.

urgh

I can't stand playing FPS with a controller...I'm not being elitist - it just doesn't work with me...and the key words in your RPS mention there is can and better off playing with a gamepad

It's nigh impossible for me to understand why a game would be better played on a PC with a controller than keyboard and mouse and whenever that has been the case, the game was not very good on PC (for me).
