If you have been thinking of buying this video game, this video could put you over the top.
I have been playing it for two days. I am having a lot of fun. It is a little repetitive, however it is a blast to play.

I didn't think this game was coming out until a little later this month. Guess I'll be stopping by Game Stop tomorrow to pick up a copy.

Looks fun, any call backs to the movies/books yet? With characters?

Looks a lot like Assasins Creed with LotR skins on the game

Its a cross between Batman and AC no doubt. But it is differentiated by a hierarchy system of bosses that can be player influenced. Each boss and sub boss have their own unique characteristics, strengths/weaknesses etc. I don't have the game but have been following it.
A lot of AC fanboys (not calling you one 305) are saying this a clone due to the parkour and combat. But, if that is the case then AC is a clone of Prince of Persia. I don't get the game industry nowadays. Everyone is so sensitive.305 likes this. -

I never understood the insult that a game is a "clone". Most games are clones. It is like <blank> but... Even AC is a tomb raider clone.
If you like the combat in Batman, but wish you could chop people's heads off, then this game is for you.Skyfire023 and Tone_E like this. -
This is my basic experience with the systems.
Basically when I first began, I died a lot. I was getting used to the controls, and how the world worked. I kept on dying. Each time I died, the Uruk-hai would taunt me, which got me mad at him, and then he would get promoted. Being promoted makes them more buff, and if they see you again they will mentioned the fact that you killed them. Well once one ran away when I was on top of a beast and he mentioned that this time around there is no beast to save me.
By the time I got good enough to be able to kill captains there were at least 5 Uruk-hai that I really wanted to kill. Especially this crossbowman. I fought this crossbowman once on accident, when I was going after another Uruk-hai, and I wasn't careful enough to scope my surroundings. He came out of nowhere and sniped me. Which of course made me mad. I went after him twice more, however he killed me both times. After a while, the Uruk-hai actually get quests of their own, and if you die, they pass the quests which make them more buff. Also, if they survive an attack, such as you are fighting two of them, both of them will gain a level. Well the crossbowman was on a hunt, when he killed me the second time, which caused him to go up 2 levels. Basically from killing me, being around someone who killed me, like this jerk with a shield who I killed yesterday, and quests he went from level 8 to level 18.
A crossbowman who was immune to ranged attacks, and all of my stunning attacks. Also, if he saw a beast he became enraged, which means he gets all his health back and is practically invulnerable as long as the beast is there.
When I finally got powerful enough to kill that bastard, I became very satisfied.
The only problem with the game I can see is now I feel like I am too powerful. I do not have much trouble dealing with waves of orcs and Uruk-hai. It makes me wonder if the rest of my game is going to be easy. -
not sure what to think of this one. are all the captains as difficult to kill as the one this guy struggled with?
-
Each time you die, you get 100 experience.
I am at the point where I kill warchiefs(hardest guys) while being surrounded by 2 captains and 10 or more thugs. -

I love LOTR and I love AC, but elements of this game make me wary. From what I've read, it involves "taking over" enemies, right? Not sure I'm into that. Also, I read that it can focus a lot on stealth, which I'm not much for. Either way, its not a "buy now" for me. Getting DA3 when I comes out, and that will consume all of my gaming time for a long time. Then Unity after that. Maybe I'll look at this one when its $20 or so later.

I've been thinking about getting a PS4 (Currently have a PS3), but there hasn't really been a game that came out that made me really want to get the system. Sure, the reskins of the Last of Us and Tomb Raider are nice, but hardly worth the price tag.
That being said, is it worth going next gen for this game? The premise sounds intriguing and it looks really good. -

Or Destiny, if you're into FPS.

Was excited for the launch of this, almost got it at midnight. Still think I'll pick it up during Steam Winter Sale.

Finally beat the main quest. I had a great time playing this game.

I am surprised more games have not copied the nemesis system from Shadows of Mordor. That made a game that could have easily gotten a little boring and redundant (ie Assassins Creed and the Batman Games) to a game where I couldn't put down, even though the protagonist was a generic brooding douchebag.
Looking at what they have improved, I am excited. If they pulled this off, they have created a game where I feel more in a lived world with a story that I craft by playing the game. I had so much fun with Shadows of Mordor. Not a perfect game, however, I put it down with one of my favorite experiences. Hopefully the sequel lives up to its promises.JCowScot likes this. -

Back in my day there was something called an easy mode for sucky players and it was free.
Plus, the whole idea of making money is to create a pain point and then charge for solving that pain point. So, I have to ask, how painful are they making single player to try to convince me to pay for loot boxes. Also, I hate the idea of being able to buy orcs. It kind of breaks the world they created.
I just have too many questions that I need answered before I give my money to something I find morally wrong. -
If it has paywalls etc then I’m sure I’ll be bummed...if it’s Witcher/ME3 style I’ll be more than happy. -
Microtransactions are not here to stay if people do not use them. I think microtransactions have their place, I just do not think they have a place in the single player campaign. If it was multiplayer only, sure, whatever. Do whatever you want in multiplayer.
Right now they are saying whatever it takes to sell the game. I am just saying I want a verification that this system that can potentially break the game does not actually break the game. I am going to trust the reviewers over the developers and publishers on this one.Zeke0123 likes this. -
