@@jimpickens1629 Its 10 minutes if u know how to do it fast and i dont know how. My brother is good at doing them and hes terrible at 1v1 and stuff like that. Im the opposite of him xd
I love this game, grew up on LoTR and the hobbit/pokemon, so I really just fit in here. The only problem I have with the game is the artificial difficulty at times being getting ganked trying to kill a captain but there's also anywhere from 3 to 40 orcs on you at once
Pro tip: If you need healing during a fight, any orcs you've dominated can have their head popped to heal you, and if you socket a [green] gem into your sword or dagger it will heal you on each attack (Brutalize attacks will heal you to full since each stab is counted)
@@hannaogrodnik9607 you can only stab so many times on a captain, but as long as you're not hit while grappling an underling orc you can shiv them to death
@@zearcjustice7837 I started doing this and the tedium took much of the fun out. Swapping things to minmax when I needed it to win a fight felt really cool, I just took the swapping way too far
This brings back memories of ishmòz the agoniser.....he was my favourite and whilst in the middle of battle I'd always hear "well whatddya think of this" and it'd bring warmth to my soul...I miss him everyday
Everybody who plays this game has that “one orc”. Mine was a rather chunky troll named “Ar-Baruk the Gorger”. He was my best friend and even came back to work for me when I thought he died. It was hilarious when I would be fighting and just hear “yummy!” I leveled him up and leveled him up, but once he got too powerful, he betrayed me. I was gonna try to recruit him again, but my Graug stepped on him before I could. May the big boi rest in peace.
Glag or blag .......... (not shure we were at the begining/....is becose no idea how to translate this but somethink familiar to spit) i killed him like 3 times and some items i used to 50H that how much i liked them he was quote friendly like (quick translations) "heh its the last time then" or "and i thot we were special" i loved that dude unfortnle it was 1 act
It was so fun, I had a pirate orc and he would always sing while i walk through Mordor and would always save me from death, he was such a good orc. (He is alive)
I have an orc called "Bagga Flame of War". He has zero weaknesses and is immune to literally everything. Because I often play online, I have like 7 copies of him.
Actually replayed this game a few months ago and put about 30 hours into it. Absolutely love the sandbox aspect of it. This game is so damn good. Might have to plan another playthrough soon
I remember when I lost all my forts on purpose, completely purged my army pretty much just started from scratch and It was so fun didn’t get bored one bit
Love that you've become as addicted to this game as I was, I have an ungodly amount of hours in this game. Interested to see how their next game turns out, even though it's hard for me to imagine a Wonder Woman game like this
@@thwomp1542 Imagine if it was Joker, a villain game where you spray joker toxin and take over Gotham against other villains like Bane, Ra's etc. And Batman's dead like Gotham Knights with only his kids around.
@@thwomp1542 The nemesis system actually makes sense in a game with Wonder Woman. She has the types of enemies where the nemesis system fits in with. I am waiting until they actually show the game to really judge it.
Awesome that you’re revisiting Shadow of War! Would absolutely love you to cover the rogue-lite mode with the DLC, it’s actually fantastic and has a really great environment and movement system.
Hey Quick Tip! If you upgrade the shadow strike in the ranged tree, there is an upgrade called the shadow strike pull. If you use this, you call pull captains to you and fight them without having to worry about grunts. Well except the ones who are arrow-proof... but it is big help in overlord fights.
I wonder how Kev would react to the Yakuza series… a totally serious crime drama where in one of the games you can fight a monkey in an excavator…and have said monkey help you run a business so you can earn the ability to call in an orbital Lazer strike on your enemies
That’s not even weirdest thing you fight in Yakuza Like a Dragon… that goes the the Giant fucking ROOMBA who can also be hired like the monkey for the same reasons…
Oh almost forgot there are summons in this game and one of them consists of a bunch of fully grow Adults(who are also apart of a Yakuza Family) wearing Diapers and crying like a baby… and this isn’t the only time they showed up apparently… WELCOME TO THE YAKUZA SERIES… now I know I should’ve recommended this earlier as it was for free for PS+ users…
But good lord do more people need to see this shit… and if they play the older games they need to prepare their butts for what the community calles the Male Fantasy… Goro Majima
Now that the microtransactions are gone and they made the systems better to compensate, the game is actually really fun. The epilogue bits to earn the true ending are actually manageable now. The game also now throws great loot at you like candy. You are always getting new better gear or being able to upgrade your current stuff. I had 3 pieces of legendary gear before leaving the first area on my playthrough post changes. I also feel like the combat is much more tense compared to arkham or early assassins creed games, as there's soooooo many enemies on you at once, of all different types, all taking different methods to take down. You have to be on it pressing the button to counter but also knowing when to be aggressive and when to use bow or elf powers. Also how to make yourself an opening to drain heal yourself.
I don’t get why people had a problem with the original Shadow Wars. Like, yes, there were a metric fuck ton of them, but that was the point. It was simulating the harrowing experience of Talion holding off the forces of Sauron for decades, and give the player room to mess with the Nemesis System more past the Main Story.
When Mordor first came out, I never tried it. With playstation sale I got the bundle for both GOTY Edition and Definitive Edition of both games. I absolutely love it and it’s addictive to play. I’m looking forward for Shadow Of War after I complete Shadow Of Mordor, trying to 100% it
This game is effing crazy! If all the orcs and such that the heroes face in lotr are the ones that survived Talion's orc purge, can you imagine how many Aragorn and the rest would have to face at the black gate?
In the future you can use an execution against the nazgul in particular when they're broken even if you have an might bar, and it instantly banishes then
You don't need intel on the captains and stuff. Whatever they are strong, immune to, or vigilante against tells you what they are vulnerable to. For example if they are vigilante against stealth and immune to execution and that's all it says. That means that they are weak to frost, fire, head shots pinning and stuff. Basically learn everything they can be weak or strong to and when its doesn't say that they are strong, immune to, or vigilante against is a weakness.
I know it could be a bit of a grind. But if you can, find legendary marauder armour pieces. It has a passive effect to boost all your damage the more coins you grab. This effect stacks to the point where you 1shot everything.
I'm a Steward level PvP player. The best loadout when it comes to attacking is often dependent on the triggers, strengths, and weaknesses of your attacking captains. I personally recommend you use a shield host and faster victory point capture. They make it a matter of 15 seconds or so before you conquer victory points.
ive never aggred with u more on a intro this game I've came back too more then any other game, the never ending replayablity is insane I hope they make another an its 12x better, an also the controls comment killed me xD
Day 08 of asking Kevduit to play Deadly Creatures on the Wii. I'm glad you are coming back to this game. I beat it already and refused to get back on it even though I hadn't played the DLC I have for it. May change that later down the line.
Another Psychopathic story for you guys. So I made one region where I make them ALL purely crazy maniacs of gibberish, random phrases (the Crazy or the Mad is my favorite for that) screaming that they compete on "Mordor has Talent" with Nazgul as the judges, and if in that region if friend or foe alike is not crazy, I turn on Worse han Death and just assimilate them into the Funny Farm of Madness. In Mordor I am a Warlord, Diplomat and Friendly Neighborhood Psychopath.
Doomed is when an Orc dies from curse damage not from the weapon hit the actual element also the fact that the Nazgul can't be slowed through focus or elven rage is to show they reside in the wraith world (and to add extra challenge you cant cheese their fights through focus or elven rage) so yeah you definitely don't want to try using your bow or eleven rage against them
Shadow of war is literally a game you can finish, forget about and still love a month later rushing through story and collecting and killing orcs
That’s exactly what I did
No one finished this. The moment the story missions made me grind the shit side castle things it was all over.

This game is awesome! It’s so brutal and really drives a sense of victory by any cost.
Especially in brutal mode. It’s one hit kill for you and for the orcs so it’s difficult but sooo worth it
Its so easy and satisfying to immerse yourself in the "grit your teeth and try harder" dynamic
I love this game, grew up on LoTR and the hobbit/pokemon, so I really just fit in here. The only problem I have with the game is the artificial difficulty at times being getting ganked trying to kill a captain but there's also anywhere from 3 to 40 orcs on you at once

UNBELIEVABLY Brutal that you can't skip the intro scenes. they were great the the first 300 times but after a while I couldn't take it anymore.
True, that takes forever, bad replayability

So many rings of power in that game. Calabrimbor crafted a ring, but it was quickly changed out for one with better stats.

always good when you catch a kevduit vid two minutes after it comes out
I can't get enough of this game. I play it EVERY DAY!!! Lol, I still can't believe the game was created in 2014!
Shadow of War came out in 2017 I believe. Shadow of Mordor was the one that came out in 2014.
I love this channel. Im so glad I found it.
Its preatty cool that my fav yt plays this cause my dad works for monalith and helped make this game which I just find awsome

So glad that you chose to continue this. Its wuite the experience.
