What the fuck

What game is this

For, uh, research

[–] Daefsdeda@sh.itjust.works 58 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Middle earth dhadow of war if I am not mistaken

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 37 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 3 points 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago

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

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It got patented, nobody can use it anymore.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe you mean patented.

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Thanks, fixed it.

[–] pelerinli@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Shadow of War is really good.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Oh holy shit really?

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm seeing milla jovovich.

[–] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 50 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What does her husband think about that?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Too busy making seven new Resident Evil movies to notice

Haven't asked.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Totally not searching the web for Stoya

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She was pretty famous like a decade ago. IDK if she still does stuff anymore.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

She mostly successfully pivoted to legit work.

She had a few non-adult movies and she's a columnist with Slate now.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 15 points 1 month ago

Porn is legit work. I invite you to try and earn a living doing it. Even if you actually succeed at pulling in with money, you're gonna realize it's basically like any other entertainment business.

[–] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Was she the one nearly killed by that UFC fighter ex-boyfriend?

[–] Gaspar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, that was Christy Mack. Stoya was the one who got into an on-and-off-camera relationship with James Deen and then alleged that he was a pretty skeezy dude. I think she may also have popularized the whole "porn star is a regular on Reddit" thing but I may be mistaken.

[–] MalReynolds@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

And there's a part of the web I'm not glad I missed...

[–] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sexy Shelob was definitely a misstep...

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

These two games are both really good though. Infuriating that the nemesis system got patented.

[–] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I think the games were both really bad, both in lore, environment, and boring ass combat. And also Ubisoft has something almost exactly like the "nemesis system" that they used in AC Odyssey, so it's not that special. Not special enough to make the Shadow of games playable anyway.

[–] androogee@midwest.social 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I did a big catch-up on games I'd missed a few years ago when I got a PS4. Nabbed Shadow on sale and was super excited to finally try this amazing game that everyone raved about.

Pretty much immediately realized that it was another mf'ing Batman Arkham combat clone, haven't touched it since. A plague on modern gaming.

Personally I agree but a lot of people seemed to enjoy them.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 0 points 1 month ago

I tried playing AC Odyssey but it just felt weirdly cluttered like I was being bombarded with a bunch of useless information the whole time. Refunded within two hours.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I bet she's good at pegging.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 1 points 1 month ago

Can you send her my number?
