What the fuck

For, uh, research

Middle earth dhadow of war if I am not mistaken

for the next 11h it's still on -95% sale on steam too!

As far as actual lotr story, not good. As far as gameplay though, for 95% off there's MUCH worse games you could play. I easily put over 100 hours into this and it's dlc

Shadow of mordor's story is also just passable, but the nemesis system of both game is really something else. It's a shame the system is trademarked.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

And they don't seem to want to implement that system in anything else

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's the kind of thing that fit so well within this franchise because any uruk can be somebody and nobody at the same time, it won't work well with most of WB other franchise. The only other game that could utilise this system well is Mad Max, so maybe there might be a chance?

[–] turmacar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well now I'm retroactively annoyed they didn't use it in the Mad Max game a few years ago. It was still really fun but that would've been a great addition.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 2 months ago

Maybe there's a MadMax game in the making, the franchise is quite hot lately

It got patented, nobody can use it anymore.

Thanks, fixed it.

Even on hard nemesis is something you can really avoid by picking who to fight with, and even by then it is not that difficult in Shadow of Mordor. They can surely sell the idea but the implementation in my opinion.

Look at mister "I never died to a random 7 uruk gangbang"

Ok, sold, now my partner has a new gift of their favorite movies

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Shadow of War is really good.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago
