Shadow of Mordor Official Thread

Just beat the game really enjoyed it, a great fun over all. Once you get a gang of Uruks and you roll deep it's a whole different story when you take on them warchiefs. Trying to take on Later warchiefs (after you send em a death threat ) without taking out the body guards first is near impossible at least with no prompts. You get 50-100 orcs with 3-4 captains and a war chief all coming for blood plus them spear chockers, bow man and brawlers.
But when you roll deep and got a gang of war chiefs behind you you feel like a boss, on some God Father stuff don't even bother killing off the chiefs yourself cause your boys handle it.
I'm a poor out some for all the Uruk Hai brothers that were lost in the struggle though

Overall I'd rate it 8.5/10 Highly recommended

Yeah I guess so, I mean he literally can't die so even if Aragorn, legolas and Gimli all ran up on him, he'd get killed but then come right back. He's like a terminator. Given Aaragorn prolly has more Orc bodies on him judging from the Two Towers and Return of the King but Talion could rack em up pretty quick.

is this game relatively short? and how's the replay value??

I'm like 12 hours in and halfway thru the main story. But I've been fukking around with the nemesis system. I haven't even done any side missions either. if you like the batman games and it's combat this is a more violent version.

 

[DPresidential]

how do you gather intel from enemies again? I keep killing them every time I try to grab them

I had the same frustrating problem. I felt stupid actually, lol.

Hold RB or R1 & after he possesses them, press A for intel. You have to hold it at first.

Basically when u brand an Orc they are under your control and will fight for you. It's hilarious rolling up on a warchief and when the fight starts all his captains turn on him

I’m bout to get you fukk nikkas wacked, you ain't even know it
Your main nikka bout to turn his back, you ain't even know it

i love how they put smeagol/ Gollum in this and showed more of sauron altho i bet it pissed off alot of nerds when they show his true form, he was supposed to fight Aragorn at the end of return of the king but yeah they cut that out and covered the guy in armor with a cgi troll

Nemesis system gives the game great replay value imo...

There is just soo much fukkery breh...

shyt feels like a WWF game with these Orc's cutting promos every time you run into them...

I did this one Warchief like the nwo...he thought his captains were on his side till Hollywood Talion stepped in...

that screenshot looks insane!

It respects the timeline and events of LotR that's about it. One of the biggest criticisms I've seen story-wise is that Tolkien, being the hippy that he was, didn't believe in the concept of revenge, neither as a motivation nor as a solution. This game not only has a revenge plot as the main story, but its biggest gameplay feature (the nemesis system) turns almost every enemy encounter into some fukked up revenge scheme. So basically the core principle of the entire game shyts all over Tolkien's beliefs, lol.

How can I permanently kill these captains? Are some of them immortal to death and just keep coming back?

 

[Bboystyle]
