Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

This looks stunning, been awhile since I played a LOTR game think it was back on the PS2.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – Nemesis System creates procedurally-generated enemies
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor orcs are individuals: no two are the same, and no two players will have the same encounter with these foes, according to the game’s director of design Michael de Plater.

Well, I'm not that bothered about the LOTR lore/tie in but the Nemesis system sounds bloody interesting.

looks like AC to me with LOTR mixed in

And a splash of magic powers. Does look good though. I love AC (except AC3) and and definitely going to keep an eye on this.

Stretching the lore to the absolute limits oh dear.

Also reminded me of the new Batman games and Dark Souls.

The Nemesis thing sounds interesting.

I will keep my eye on this, it does sound good and the trailer did pull me in.

Almost felt sick watching that, could be the biggest lore rape ever.

It looks pretty good. Definitly one up be keeping an eye on. My Lotr lore knowledge goes as far as the extended films and that's it so I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy it in ignorance of the wider materials out there

That really does come across as somewhat poor. What has it to do with LotR? How has Sauron 'left you for dead'?

The game itself looks generic and dull and could just as well be Conan, Chuck Norris or Harry bloody Potter.

I think this looks pretty good tbh. Not brilliant, but pretty good. I will likely get it. The combat is getting very good reviews. Release is only a few weeks away!

It does look pretty good, lore aside, I like the game mechanics. I'm sure it will be worth the price of a gifted copy

Not normally my sort of thing, but this does look pretty good.

platypus · 13 Sep 2014 at 20:26

I think I'll wait until its on sale but pick it up all the same. Looking great.

UltraDad · 15 Sep 2014 at 13:57

Looks great, batman like combat system or AC not sure which. The nemesis system looks great but i have seen that one where you explode the grog to draw him out 3 different times but with a different looking orc (on the play throughs i have watched so far).

So is it a case of finite amount of mission with a infinite amount of Orcs thrown on top. Gonna keep an eye on this game as its got my interest. i am a tight git who likes his steam deals and has to make every penny count in this tight economic climate ( thats what i like to tell myself)

Nothing interesting at all on the season pass, so that's some money saved.
