It's very good, BUT... (you probably know where this is going)
gameranx first
Suup
Ah well
gameranx would you mind if i send you a steam friend request?
Thanks for another great before you buy guys !!
I had an amazing interaction through the nemesis system right after I unlocked dominating Uruks. I was running through a fortress in the open world, outside of any missions and saw a bunch of Uruk standing around some grog barrels which I promptly exploded with some elf shot. All of a sudden, this Olog-hai captain comes storming out in an ambush and yells "MY GROG!" His title was "the Brewmaster" and I made him my bodyguard.
Now every time he saves me in last chance finishers, he smashes the other guy's head in with a mace and turns to me to say "You look like you could use a drink boss!"
10/10 would get saved by a drunken, grog-brewing war troll again
Lootster 3182 i can only hope i get something equally as badass or even better!
Difficulty setting?
brutalize117 critical mode
Lootster 3182 that's pretty cool
I got a similar Olog-hai but I killed him because it got mine in cirth ungol so I couldn’t dominate
One does not simply parkour into Mordor

That’s hilarious, well done 😂😂

Is this game still worth it in 2019?
Edit: I bought the game, Absoluetly worth it, it’s so much funnn
I'd say yeah, but its ultimately up to your choice
I got it for 10€
Shad0w_ Gaming good question my friend as I’m currently looking to buy it on eBay for about £6...$5
Sounds like a bargain?
As someone who is a casual LOTR fan and has not played either of the games in this series, would you recommend playing this without having played Shadow of Mordor first? Or is it important to play Shadow of Mordor in order to fully enjoy and understand Shadow of War?
In short, in your opinion is it necessary to play Shadow of Mordor first in order to enjoy Shadow of War?
one cool thing that i encountered is that i shamed an orc twice so that i could bring it down to my level because i wanted to turn it, it was an legendary orc, so it got a title like THE SHAMED so when i turned it to my side the title changed to THE UNASHAMED and every time he goes to battle he tells that he was shamed twice by the bright lord and now that he joined him he is not shamed of it any more rather he is proud of it....its really cool to see how u can change the whole character of an orc on how you deal with him.
hey do you have to update it to play the game on Xbox one
I was going for Trophies to 1)Help promote a grunt all the way to Overlord and 2)Recruit an Orc that had killed me three times.
I let some random idiot kill me, watched him make Captain, let him do it again and once more for good measure. Afterward I had to shame him to bring down his level and ... he turned into a maniac, killed his way to the top and was level 65. One Trophy down. One to go ... maybe.
Obviously I can't recruit a level 65 orc because I was in the mid 40s at the time (it wasn't until later I discovered my level caps at 60 - so I was screwed regardless) so I would have to shame him repeatedly ... except he kept slaughtering me over and over and he was one of the jackasses that give No Chance!
I decided, screw it, I'll come back to him later and I finally killed him thanks to a last minute save by my bodyguard. Killed, not Recruited. No second Trophy for me.
After deciding screw that guy, I'm glad he's dead, I'll just try again (early) on a second playthrough for the Trophy and I continued my game. Then Zog (the bastard) brought his level 65, Maniac, nigh unkillable ass back from the dead for his stupid ritual in the arena! Again I was slaughtered mercilessly ... multiple times and again my bodyguard pulled my fat out of the fire (eventually) just to take pity on me.
How I got through that without twisting my controller into unrecognizable bits I will never know.
@@Dakhoth Well level doesn't cap at 60, you can still get more skill points to get every single ability
i play for achievements, on Xbox

I was fighting an especially skittish Captain. I spooked him and he ran into a fire pit then fell off a cliff.

I recommend you buy it. I’ve enjoyed it so far, it’s basically an improved shadow of Mordor with a few more enemyies, better locations, skills, combat and movement. Stories also pretty good in my opinion. If you enjoyed shadow of Mordor I HIGHLY recommend getting this. Also, you can go sonic if you press L3 :D
Dingwall Beats Official I still haven't played S.O.M ! So the question is: In general reasons is it okay if I play S.O.W without playing the S.O.M first ? (4 eg. Story, characters ..etc) or the S.O.W it's like the continuing of S.O.M ?
Othman Abuabat The story of S.O.W continues from S.O.M so play shadow of Mordor first.
Othman Abuabat
I'd say u really don't need too, it gives recap of the events that transpired in the first game within the first 10 mins.
„It’s basically an improved shadow of mordor with few more enem(y?)ies, better locations, skills, combat and movement“ doesn’t mean selling it for a price of a FULL NEW GAME
I didn't like Shadow of Mordor, I found combat boring and repetitive, should I get this one?
Whose here in July 2020 because it’s on sale
Me i barely bought it today on ps4
Greed 818 so what’s your thought about it ? Is it still worth ?
buying it today lol

I was playing earlier and I found an overlord who had master caragor rider perk, but he was terrified of caragors 😂👍🏻
Nominal 7 Seriously? That's like being a professional NASCAR driver and being afraid of cars.
yeah i got this acher that ride a cargo, he didn't have one at first. But since he got promoted get got one but i try to make him become a spy..... GUESS WHAT...... he was scared of a caragor and got 1 shoted by one.
Aren't they only afraid of enemy caragors with that perk or fear... still funny tho
Cameron Galles as long as he's not on it you win 😂
little bit like batman he dresses like a bat but scared of bats
My favorite experience was getting my Fortress overrun, because nearly all my war chiefs betrayed me, only to storm it immediately after without any captains as backup (cause I don't trust them anymore) which resulted in one of the greatest battles I have ever played. I had to pause the combat sometimes to switch out my skills, but it's in my top 20 moments in games I've played.
The sheer intensity in the game, as well as the combat system feels absolutely phenomenal.
top 20
7:00 this guy looks like he came straight from Morrowind
HAHAHAHA 🤣
just wait till he says *MANSWINE*
LMAO
I had an orc once who became my body guard, a Olog-hai chap who was a bit shy for orc culture and found himself on the victim end of many a bullied scenario. The second or third time I saw him, he became distracted and was bitten by a spider. He ran away soon after, and it was a couple of weeks before I saw him again.
And then, one day as I was fighting my way through green flesh and tissue, I hear someone singing a goofy song from my childhood. A large shadow crosses the ground beneath me, one exceeding the height and accessibility of my lackluster double jump. Sure enough, dressed in a red and blue skin suit far too tight for his body, I saw the shy Olog-hai of previous mentioning, staring straight at me, singing "Spider Orc, Spider Orc, Radioactive Spider Orc..."
I was smitten, I deleted my Orc tender and we have been together ever since. Great game.
It breaks my heart when my war chief orc betrayed me so I tried to dominate him again but he got a strong will and resisted me so i gotta put him down,damn it hurts.
You can shame him to break his strong will
bootty warrior oh damn didn’t know thanks
I broke him and got him back lol
Same
This the first game that really hit me interms of emotion i didnt cry or anything i just felt sad
I got betrayed by 4 epic capt at the same time
Same here. I hunted down every single one and shamed to Level 1.
I was about to have every captain in an area dominated then that happened to me
CLM KC thats real revenge right there
Same here, two idiots ambushed me at once, so I had to fight six captains at once. So sad I lost.
So sad.....
I don't want the fort....
Take your fort....
I don't need the fort...
Bruz was there, and he looked creepy.
His face was covered and he looked like shit
They recently got rid of the loot boxes and even when they were still in the game it was completely unnecessary to have to buy them as you could get just as good or better loot through killing uruks.
ThatOneGuy 767 oh nice just bought it
Nice
keganlb same . Saw the sale and remember seeing this game thinking it was cool

I ran into this enemy who spoke so intelligently and then I shamed him and he turned into a complete murderous savage that didn't even speak and instead made random snarls and sounds. I've never had such interesting enemy encounters. I love this game.
Onestrandedperson When I first started I found this big guy with a flamethrower on his back but after an hour he betrayed me. Long story short I eventually got him back but now he's pretty much insane.
The psychology of the captains change?!
I own the game but only have like an hour on it so i dont know lol
SLENEESH If you shame them too many times or have a certain perk than you can make them go insane.
SLENEESH it’s an incredibly in-depth game with a lot of heart put into it
So: lootboxes are gone (as of 2022) and I'm honestly still playing it. It's a 10/10 would recommend.
what should i get bro the defenitive edition or shadow edition i want the better one but am confused to what to get
@@Dock765 I've got no clue
@@Dock765 definitive i’m pretty sure is the “ultimate” edition. If you bought it (assuming 6 days ago now) it should’ve been on special
I'll get the one that's free on my 1€ month gamepass
I have played through this game multiple times, on multiple systems, and played over 500 hours total. Yesterday, I played for 5 hours, and saw probably over 100 things i had never seen before. There is just so much stuff in this game.
Should I buy it
Ok i buy it
Q is mordor or war better cuz from the graphics comparisons mordor looks better?
Leo R
Nah, War is much better
Leo R war looks better but mordor is a better game
The story definitely doesn’t get enough credit, I recommend everyone to play the shadow war epilogue, believe me, it’s worth it
Stop watching and go buy the game it totally worth it 100%

Go 20 iq sheep! Support microtransactions!
@@vexx5955 They removed the microtransactions years ago because of peoples negative reactions to them. Even then, the microtransactions werent that pay to win and no one really bothered with them because your able to easily get powerful gear by just playing the game. Also, that comment was from 10 months ago : /
@@nicke.8622 His comment is 3 years old ! So yes they where microtransactions !!!
@@vexx5955 yes, but they're gone now, arent they? 🤔 Like I said before, they werent even needed to get powerful gear. I saw your other comment talking about how you got bored in 2 hours, and thats fine, but thats your opinion. Other people have enjoyed this game for countless hours, so if its not your type of game then thats completely alright, just dont attack other people for enjoying it. 👍
The Day I was saved.......
I thought it was another routine assassination.... I silently killed the camp captains soldiers and drew him out..... It was a hard fight. After few little seconds my health went down I was surrounded by Uruks the captain hit me with a smoke bomb and disappeared. Then fight me straight from behind.... " No chance " the screen said as I violently cursed so loud that my grandmother heard. He was about to strike until FROM OUTTA NOWHERE FORGOTH THE SAVIOR grabs his spear then slashes him to death with his banjo horn.... " Today is not your day Ranger " he said as he slowly walked away and all the Uruks ran. My screen tab popped up and said mission completed. ( This happened today I'm sooooo happy this Captain was crazy strong and I didn't know if the gold edition had Forgoth or with it or it was separately purchased ugh it was the best thing ever I swear to god ).
You have a great way of not ruining the entire game for people by not saying every little thing that's wrong with it and by just being realistic with your opinions, pointing out the things that people will love as well as some things that people will not like so much. New fan of this channel, keep doing what you're doing!
ah they have been good to us
Some stories are just amazing. I had 2 captains in Mina’s ithil that never died. 1 was named hoshgrish the machine and the other I can’t remember. Every time hoshgrish came back he came back with more and more metal and stitches where I’ve dismembered him. He had a metal arm, metal leg and his head was completely plated in metal. He was always eager to die so he could have more upgrades. The other guy became a fire fanatic and followed me from Mina’s ithil to cirith ungol. He worshipped fire and was covered in scorch marks
I have the game, u can pay for loot boxes Without paying real World money you can get gold by doing the daily challenges that gives you gold and silver and any other money for the game by playing the daily challenges or doing missions that’s what I’ve done and still are doing.I have not once spent realworld money yet unless I want the expansion Pack
cooldogie 99 so its worth th buy i havent had money till now so it wouls be good to get
Shermiff -Jace Herondale. Yea I got it for Christmas and I seem to be enjoying it.
Shermiff -Jace Herondale i got shadow of war for christmas is a absolutely great game if you like lotr
Shermiff -Jace Herondale Yes, it is, though be aware that there will be a lot of grinding especially in the endgame section/Act IV. Still, it's extremely fun and addicting. Story is meh, however. The game is all about the Nemesis system.
They know.
Why am I here? I already bought it
Me too! And I'm happy with it. I like to see peoples arguments though
Yeah, I really enjoy it too. Its bigger and better shadow of mordor. And those micro transactions haven't bothered me one bit
GAM1NGgeek 369 same here dude, games amazing loving it similar to the last one just bigger, btw wats all this about micro transactions I haven't come across anything my players at level 14
Yep its a fantastic game. Also can't see where the loot boxes would even help you in this game. I am playing on Nemesis mode and no piece of armor I get out of the box seems like it would make it any easier.
GAM1NGgeek 369 gurl I'm jealous
As a huge Lord of the rings fan and also someone who grew up playing Assassins Creed I found the game to be a beautiful hybrid of the two and possibly one of my favorite games, only downside I can come up with is somewhat of a repetitive nature, yet I have only just taken over my second fortress
Lol why do I always watch your videos AFTER buyong the game, guess I want someone to validate the price Im paying for a game lol
Cuba G I do this with guns.
Glad I'm not the only one xD
Exactly!
Same
Why do I always see theses copy and paste comments on every video
Remember to do challenges that gives you coins to buy the boxes is you want. Def. dont need to buy the coins.
Petter Blakstad agree
Please Don't buy any micro transactions!! show the publisher's we don't want these shoved into our games!!!
you can just use the ingame money it's really easy to get.
That stupid, Not buying Micro is like " ehhhh it was just pocket money for us. " NOT BUYING THE GAME will teach them the lesson. Because now they have no money and no way to get extra money.
You don't "have" to buy anything dude
aznpanda510x Easy for you to say. You evidently don't like this series of games
I don’t really mind micro transactions if done right
The nemesis system is what really makes me enjoy this game I’ve played through it 3 times and the nemesis system has always brought a new experience
October 2021 - just bought this and DAMN, this is one hell of a game. Seriously, if anyone reads this thinking of buying it: don't think, just buy it. It's a solid 10/10 for me!
Looking into getting the game rn.

Economic darwinism.
Tarks Gauntlet one way if looking at it
Not really.
Yes really.
what do you mean by this?
Darwinism is kind of like survival of the fittest, but is also used to imply a kind of stupidity that is self defeating AKA The darwin awards. Only the weak and especially stupid buy into loot boxes. Furthermore, those who seek to sling this into literally every game they have will end up walking themselves off a metaphorical cliff. It's bad on all angles. IE Economic darwanism.
I put tons of hours into Shadow of Mordor during 2020. I still haven't fully completed it yet, but it's basically done. I found it fun and challenging, maybe more than any other game I have played. Highly recommend it. I'm somewhere around 15 hours in to Shadow of War and I'm liking it. I can't say I like all of the changes, but for the most part they manage to elevate the enjoyment factor, and keep me wanting more. FIVE OUTTA FIVE!
I really like how both Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War has that feature where you can raise your own band of rebel orcs against the loyalists. Its like the Mordorian Revolution basically. (The Orc Resistance in other words)

REMOVED - Enough said!
This game is on a sale so now I'm here debating if I wanna get it, I'm assuming the expansions/dlcs would be màndatory if I get the game right?
For me the coolest moment was finding a warchief then dominating his bodyguards to backstab him. I love the fact that you can make more than one bodyguard backstab his warchief. It's a little hard but it's actually possible to make EVERY ONE of his bodyguards backstab him.😂
Also this warchief whose name was something the bard and he used a literal freaking LUTE AS HIS WEAPON. Then his little encounter cut scene was him playing a song with his weapon which was hilarious.
if games pull the micro-transaction card, I'll just pull the piratebay card lol
(CODEX already cracked it ;p)
That’s literally only hurting the developer. If u want to hurt micro transactions then buy the base game and nothing else
and thats literally bullshit. devs work on a set pricepoint, the only thing they get is a bonus when they score a certain metacritic score in most companys nowadays. buying the game shows you r fine with the micro transactions and if not enough people are buying them they know they have to push harder next time, since obviously you were fine with them being included in the game.
bought the first one, would also buy the second one, if there weren't any micro transactions - cuz for me they just want to suck out some extra penny out of my pockets - 60€ should be more than enough for a game, dude
Your Lord and Savior - Balrog thats where you are wrong yes its sad that the developer has to suffer for the greed of the publisher but if u buy the game even if u dont buy the microtransactions you bought the game and all the other people who bought it too might buy the microtransactions so in their eyes they ll keep putting microtransactions in games because it doesnt hurt sales and if someone buys microtransactions it ll only be a bonus to them, on the other hand if you dont buy the game they will realise something is wrong and that we dont want microtransactions in our paid games.
*Before You Buy: A singleplayer game with the audacity to add in loot boxes*
Wolfram 1045 and the decency to make no need at all for them unless you want to make an awesome grind boring
Wolfram 1045 i would say a 60$ game with the audacity of having microtransactions. Microtransactions are a cancer on the industry not just lootboxes.
Wolfram 1045
Lol then you're going to hate Battlefront 2
Don't for get Borderlands with those Shift codes.
Your Lord and Savior - Balrog I have no problem grinding. I have a problem with what this can lead to - portions of the game locked behind loot boxes. Look, we already have DLC doing that (ME3' Prothean character Javik's day one DLC comes to mind), we don't need loot boxes becoming a thing in a full priced *singleplayer* game. It's already infested multiplayer
Absolutely loved SOM and just started SOW and I love it. Brings a lot more personality to it as well as humanity and the graphical increase is felt despite some rare pop ins. Another prime example of everything that a game sequel should be. Just like Arkham City as you said.
1:30 that dude in the back was like "nope, I don't get paid enough to do this"
Shadow of War on the Xbox One X with HDR support, being native 4K and compatibility with Dolby Atmos makes this a definite Gold Edition for me! The PS4 Pro version and PC version are stunning as well!
Plus.... I'm just a huge Lord of the Rings fan and I very much enjoyed: Shadow of Mordor, The Third Age, LOTR Conquest, War in the North, Battle For Middle Earth 1 & 2 (Rise of the Witch King), the Two Towers and the Return of the King!

It makes me so sad that Warner Bros had to shove in microtransactions. I would've got this straight away if they weren't included. I will buy it when it's second hand however cause Warner Bros doesn't deserve to be rewarded for these kind of practices.
Big C you dont have to buy them to progress you can even buy loot boxes with ingame currency so its not totaly bad
Don't bother. Betrayal system is broken
you dont HAVE to buy them, you know that right? I've already beat the game and never once even looked at the micro transactions stuff. actually, I did once, but only because you get "gold" in the game that lets you buy the stuff without using real money, and the game tells you that. but other than that, the micro transactions part has nothing to do with the game.
Its not about whether you HAVE to. Its the fact that they are there at all. This is a single player game. For it to have loot micro transactions is a slap in the face and if they become accepted as you have, they will undoubtedly become industry standard...and no one wants that
ya know how to make them NOT industry standard though? buy the game and NEVER buy the micro transactions. once they see that people want the game, but theyre not gonna spend the extra money, they'll stop putting microtransactions in stuff. but if you boycott the whole game, theyre just gonna think people didnt want this game for other reasons
My pc went to shit a day b4 it released. Ffs. Need to get it fixed asap

Big Willy Billy It's a sign that u shouldn't buy the game
Sounds like divine intervention to me, your PC doesn't even want you to play this garbage XD.
You didn't mention what i feel became one of the peaks of this game, especially after completing the story. Being able to upgrade your strongholds to withstand other player attacks online and attacking other players strongholds. Its kinda addictive with having options on how you want to defend or attack. Just want anyones thoughts on this aspect of the game
I hope one day Ubisoft makes a real middle-earth game regarding the Lord of the Rings epic Peter Jackson's movies. With an awesome open-world roaming as a real adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy world and mythology!
One Brick to Rule them All....Me too!
Supposedly the devs that made this game are planning a complete open world. Dunno if it'll be middle earth tho. Kinda wrapped up at the end of this.
@@NickTQ101 ah shit i really want another middle earth an more improve nemesis mechanic or gameplay mechanic
If you like the first game, your gonna love this one. And about loot boxes, I have completely ignored them throughout my playthrough and it hasn't effected me whatsoever. The market isnt even introduced properly until the 2nd Act. Also, if you want the best loot, don't buy the micro transactions, its more fun to play the game on Nemesis difficulty, that offers you the best experience and best loot without having to buy loot boxes. You can still buy them with any leftover mirian that you earn during the game
GAM1NGgeek 369. "I didn't say anything because they didn't come for me at first"...
YOU are part of the PROBLEM!!!
?
lootbox is a problem once you take over a fort, you can't get new captain unless you PAY to remove the dead body on your " Chess Board" buy using the market system. You can only get 1 normal and 1 epic... No more RANDOM AI joing the chess board with a chace of it being a Legendary. SOME people betrade you and you have to kill them.... Guess what? now you have to replace him by going to the market because it taking 1 space away from your board.
I'm fucking playing it.... and i took the fort ratbag was holding and EVERYONE i KILLED are dead place holder and I have to use the market system to replace them
i try to let a random AI kill me, so it can take one of the Dead body spot but it didn't. It just killed one of my captain... And i even use Fast forward and still no new AI show up to "remove" the dead body with the market sign.
*Shadow Of More Dosh*
MrNangle you play killing floor 2?
Geralt of Rivia hahaha yeah I do indeed 😂 love it
Geralt of Rivia holy shit you got such a lucky name
Diablo Valentine haha how is my name lucky 😂
Dosh? Reminds me of Fantasy Life.
You can get the crates with the arena battles and it’s super useful for grinding.
This is one of the first games I played on Pc where dynamic resolution actually works. No matter what frame rate I set it for, it stays at that frame rate. Even if it's 90fps. I've tried it in other games and it would never hold the number I set it at. This game does it very well. I play on a laptop with GTX 1070 with everything maxed out. It sits around 49 but I set the dynamic to 60. Blurs background sometimes but still looks really good cause it's maxed and runs at steady 60.
Even though I own this game, I've been waiting for this video all day!!!
David Atkins same
David Atkins ok I'm glad I'm not the only one 😁
David Atkins Thats cus you have no ture opinion and like to be told what to think 😲
ThePetemarvel or I just like to watch their content a lot. But hey who am I.......
I actually don't mind having different versions of the game that cost different amounts for more stuff (I mean pokemon basically does that with 2 versions of a game that are slightly different); and that at least is honest, and allows you to choose what you are willing to pay for what you can. It's an honest transaction and treats the customer with some kind of respect.
Microtransactions in a full priced game however... it can literally be the best game of all time and make it super easy to not need it, but I will not support a game that costs full price and has micro transactions that affect single player (I'm talking about boycotting not pirating it, bc that entices companies to become more devious to get revenue and they can still get microtransaction money from pirates). If we let publishers walk all over us, they will just get worse. Microtransactions are designed to entice consistent payment and hamper the experience to promote it. Buying the game at all supports the practice bc they'll just do it in every game until people cave. Please stop letting publishers treat you like walking wallets. Have some self control
Crazelord91 well said. Lol walking wallets.
they can track who buys and how many crates are bought. everyone who gets this game isn't going to buy anything from the market. so they'll see its not working and stop. And if not, and if they hinder the progression in later games to promote the micro transactions--- THEN there's a problem and boycotting that game is the thing to do. But this game is not at that point.
P.S. I still think you have a very valid point.
That's why for this game and this game only I used G2A. Not good for indie dudes at all, and never use it for indie dudes, but for companies that enforce crappy practices, I don't mind swindling THEM out of a few bucks.
Well, I'm glad they made it to where all the things you get from micro transactions, you can get in game without money
Please in your reviews can you state if the games are online only
I bought the gold edition of the game for the season pass. I got a free gold loot box which came with a few legendary captains but I haven't used them yet. I dont intend to buy any loot boxes but I have bought one using in game currency that I was awarded for completing a daily challenge. But furthermore I wont go looking to complete these dailys I will just use the currency if I happen to complete one.
For example, there was a daily to kill and overlord. I just happened to take Cirith Ungol on that day so I got 500 in game currency. I got a loot war chest I think. Some of the powerups and orders are quite handy sometimes like making your favourite captain epic but no powerups or captains from loot boxes are needed really, as JB said in the video.
Its just a money making thing and can be ignored. The game itself holds up perfectly without it and actually seems to be that the marketing team made the developes put this in once the game was fully developed. It feels like and add-on rather than an extension of the game mechanics. Which is great because it further solidifies the fact that it can be ignored.
Seems like a clear wait for sale
Mr Maxi Psycho or a goty version. Wb always does.
Yeah I'll wait for Christmas steam sales.
Black Friday sale for me!
or...you know...yarr...;)
nah, its awesome and worth the money. this video is actually pretty stupid. dont listen to this guy
I honestly don't get the issue with the microtransactions. You could go through the whole game without spending real money and just use the in-game currency that isn't hard to stack up or get. I also don't get the 'pop-up in the menus constantly' like, its just there in the menu, no pop ups, no flashy 'LOOK HERE CLICK ME' gimmicks; it's just really another option to click on.
They take away features from games that were free and move them behind a gambling paywall.
Yourname942 you have not played the game because thats not true one bit.
Uhhhhhh no????? What game you talking about
Yourname942 from what I experienced, no features of the game was taken away and can be accessed through spending real money
Do you have to play the first one to play this one? I want to play it but just dont have time and would like to just get into the second one.
Wonder if anyone here can answer me this :D, Ive been playing for a while on Xbox and I currently dont have Xbox Live Gold but I still have access to online Vendetta Missions? Do I have access to the Fortress Sieges to or will I need to get Xbox Live Gold for that?
Im REALLY on the fence about this one
Probably wont LOL
Jakesnake208 just buy it and give it ago then return it within that 7 day period if you don’t like it.
Jakesnake208 it's the best game of 2017.
Pirate it and then mail some money to the Devs.
Shaun McDonald I wouldn't say that, but it's definitely up there.
Definitely my favorite world in a video game just because of Mordor and Minas Ithil.
Yo ho yo ho it's a pirate's life for me.
BlazeofGlory how would you feel if the game you made was being stolen online?
Takw what ye can. Give nothing back. :)
bless cpy
+OIIIIIII Well if this was cdpr, then maybe i would feel bad. But this is WB games, a company well known for shafting pc players and they deserve to lose money for being greedy bastards. Currently downloading this game illegally 94% finished :)
Do what you want cause a pirate is free
You arrr a pirate
can you play thid without a controller i really need to know this before i buy it becuase i did not find any videos playing this on pc keyboard an ,ouse
Does the basic Shadow of War have access to all skins? Or do I need the definitive edition for it?
The loot box stuff is fine
You get more attached to your orcs if you dont use lootboxes and you can get gold coins doing online objects
I do not care about the loot boxes. Just don’t use them just play the game.
I've played for like a hundred hours and didnt even know you could buy loot boxes. they dont seem to make or break the game
@@shartyshartington they removed they in 2018. prob why you haven't noticed them lol
Does anybody know if they ever added a patch to see the armor you’re wearing in cutscenes?
I did try to purify the first 3 towers, just to make closer fast travel points available...took me over 4 hours, the orcs kept popping up randomly, some killing me quite a few times, then I needed to get revenge, then some more captains arrive, some side-missions, so when I finally did purify the towers and decided to play some story, because it got me interested, it’s 2am.
Help This game is taking over my soul 😭😭
jon willus You're acting like it's a some kind of Witcher 3. It's just a Shadow of Mordor reskin with better Nemesis system and shittier graphics.
+Raj Mukherjee “Call me a buzzkill, but I since I don’t particularly enjoy this, nobody else should.” By the way, Witcher is just a shittier Lord of the Rings, anyway.
Witcher felt more like GoT to me though
now your reaching a bit.
Newsflash, life is a game which is designed just to take and corrupt your soul
I was never here when you could buy loot boxes and I've have over 100 hours easily am so happy to play this game so tbh even if i was there i 100% would of stayed love the game so much
2019 and theres no more store but your outfit still doesn't show in the cutscene😢😭
all i wanna know: is this available on dvd? i seem to only be able to find those damn download keys :s
I think I'll just play shadow of mordor for the 3rd time for now
Got given this Game for Christmas as I’ve been wanting to play it for a while now and personally I think it’s a good game after only about 5 hours playing time. I do think it’s a bit messy as there’s lots to do and the menus can be awkward but that’s just me I’m not use to these games. All in all I think it’s a good game.
i am deeply in love with shadow of mordor, so i really want to buy this. my question is should i get the deluxe edition with the included dlc or will i be good with the standard version. right now, standard is $10 and deluxe is $20 on best buy's website.
deluxe, 3x as much content
Gotta give credit to Mordor and War for one major thing. They don't do the Assassin's Creed thing, of having chests and stuff just scattered all over the place. I like loot, I like collectibles, but that also means I'm a bit obsessive when collecting 'em. I almost never 100% a game, but if I see collectibles or chests near me, I'll go collect them. Which usually leads into a half hour or more of just running around because I keep finding more stuff. It seems that both of these games were nice enough to not do that. Sure there's collectibles, but not to the same extent as Assassin's Creed, and many other games. There's not so many things that the map is just littered in stuff. You want to get 'em? Ok, go get em, it'll take a couple minutes at most to get the stuff near you. Where as AC, you'll be there for 2 hours opening chests, collectible beer bottles, finding music boxes, ripping pictures off a wall, finding tiny statues, and whatever other tedious thing they throw in.
I bought this game a few days ago and it's way better than the first one in my opinion, I'm definitely enjoying it so far.
Definitive edition on sale for $23 for 30 more mins. Should I buy?
Yes I think the reason the dlc has such a low review score is because the price but the definitive edition is a really good deal
Not sure if it's too late but yes, you should definitely buy it.
I love how there are random encounters and different orcs like assassins that come after you kill their brother or something or the tricksters that are crazy.
Thinking about buying to this week on Steam's Summer sale... The gold edition will be $28 for me. Is it worth getting the gold edition?
As a LoTR fan, I stumbled upon this game 6 yrs after release for $9. Love this game…
I'll wait for sales
Excellent video
Sm3xy_boy same. Black friday.
(Before I begin pardon me for forgetting names) So I loved shadow of Mordor, only single player game I went back and did side quests on. Now there were some cherry mechanics that I hope arnt in this one. The biggest one is shadow mounting. I was fighting the last war chief in the hunt dlc it was a fun struggle but then out of no where comes the foul groug. I just shadow mounted him and won in less than 20 seconds. It would’ve been great to have that three way battle where it would take effort to take the groug. I usually refuse any game where non cosmetic items are micros transactions, but I will give this one a try before clapping on it considering how well the previous was made.
should i play with mouse and keyboard or controller? and why?
I beat the first game and still play it for the various game modes. Absolutely love it. Just started the second one and can already tell it's much more in depth... but what's with the graphics? The Uruks in Mordor looked WAY cooler and the graphic quality of Shadow of War just... severely irks me compared to the first.
There are free 4k and high resolution packs
Ah yes why do people complain at the graphics, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAMEPLAY THEY WERE LOOKING FOR.
Shadow of more doors seems pretty cool.
First Class Mordor*
Shadow of Mordor is obviously the better game, story wise and it basically innovated its system.
This is of course a much improved game, just the story lacks. Regardless I won’t see it reaching the same heights shadow of mordor did.
Is it true that you can insert in this game the options you made in the shadow of Mordor final save game? What 's more, I would like, Gameranx, that you do a before - you - buy video for Star Wars: Battlefront 2 when it gets released.
I am really thinking about getting this but one thing that stops me is do you need to know about the first games story like is It a continuation and also do you need to know about the lotr films and books
It's 100gb wtf
asfandiyar khan probably 50GB for all dem micro transactions ;)
Only 32gb on xbox one
i heard on pc its like 75GB, i'm getting it on my ps4
It's around 100 GB with the ultra options download and 4K cinematic cutscenes.
65.6 gb on pc 45.5 gb on ps4 pro
So I just finished the game. I have been a fan of the lotr franchise for over 12 years and I ABSOLUTELY loved the game. The story was so intense that I actually felt like rushing it as fast as I could... I loved the fortress stuff and will definetly play more to complete 100% (also looking forward to the endless fortress assaults). The combat system isnt really hard but it is so beautiful and just never gets old, atleast in my opinion. There were so many cutscenes where I got extremely hyped and was like 'WHAAAAAT, INSANE!'. I went into the game without watching anything beforehand, I discovered the microtransactions when they pointed it out but I just ignored it and let me tell you; it is literally unnecissary. No point in buying boxes because it's like taking away precious gametime (way more fun to have huge battles over a captain than buying them lol). What I will buy tho, is the dlc, not a fan of dlc but the main game is so insane that I don't have to think about it.
Feel free to reply with your own experiences :). Shadow of war was the most enjoyable game that I have played over the past year or 2.
I never played the first one
Is there anything I need to know to play this game?
fuck I'm stuck at take over the first fortress. I took over but after the mission the camera got stuck and I could control the character while the camera was stuck. rebooted the game got blue banners over the fotress but the mission is still there to take it over and I tried to change warcheifs and so on but nothing will work it only get stuck at loading when i try the mission again.
