Definitely!

Who did the Nemesis system bring back over and over again for you. I forgot what his name was but for me he eventually became immune to almost everything. He also had no weakness and tracked me to other areas of the game.
Edit: I found a screenshot of him his name was Rug Flame of War
its possible to still kill them but very hard. there also random btw
Zog The Undying worst nemesis name ever
Tuhorn the Tark Slayer, killed him 5-6 times. Also Mug the Machine or something like that died 3 or 4 times. Both were cool though for those tales.
Anti isaki
Dush the snowflake
I’m so disappointed there hasn’t been more games with the ingenious nemesis system. Like imagine a mafia game where you build your criminal empire with it incorporated that’d be crazy
Or imagine a rougelike incorporated that
That's because they literally copyrighted the system so nobody can use it except them unless they pay. Good games but they're pretty scummy for doing that.
@@classymuffin4589 Yup. Patenting a game mechanic is some of the shittiest things you can do in game dev. Its not just nemesis system. If you make anything that kind of works as the nemesis system, your game can be in trouble.
@@UchihaKuriso .its a terrible precedent.
@@classymuffin4589 the worked on it for years...and in 5years or so everrybody can use it.
Shadow War is a badass game. The nemesis system made it incredibly replayable. I might have to re-download it again after this video 😂
same
Double same
Triple same
lol ... yeah me too :) Its too good, tough I probably will play for 10-20 hours and then move on as always, but always fun to start it up again :)
I literaly have not left the first city. Any time I feel like playing this game I just start it up and kill some guys than leave. Kinda like I do with Arkham Knight.
"Aragorn and Frodo did alot of QuickTime events in case you didn't notice." I remember Frodo specifically *failing* a QuickTime event and got a permanent debuff
Yeah but it was just before the epilog so it didn't really make much of a difference
@@tuskinraider5926 i think he meant the one on Amon Hen where the witch king stabs him
although getting stabbed by shelob can also be one
@@razvanefros411 I meant losing his finger but that works too
@@razvanefros411 that's Weathertop, Amon Hen was where Boromir died
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 thanks, im stupid. Its Amon Sul, aka Weathertop
There is a bug in this game where you can legit have an enemy so strong and powerful that if you delete a save and go on a new one that enemy can follow you to the next save creepypasta style. Genuinely terrifying.
Cool
My mom asked what I was playing and I demonstrated a random orc killing me and getting promoted. He became "The Tark Slayer", killed me several times, traveled over boundaries and killed the overlord of Cirith Ungol and became one himself. It started as a joke and now I can't even kill him.
Damn, you make me wanna load the game up again, its so immersive this nemesis system
The nemesis system was amazing having your orc in the arena against others and raiding people’s base to kill/grab their orcs. Hate they copyrighted that mechanic lot of rpgs would have replay value just to have that 1 special ring....I mean orc
Honestly so many games would change immensely if this godly mechanic could be used.
Too bad no games will be able to use it for at least 10 years. Warner bros suck
@@ArcAngle1117 Least it wasn't copyrighted by Games Workshop. WB might let someone use it for enough money, but GW wouldn't let ANYONE pinch a single penny out from under them.
@@tuskinraider5926 No one is going to license it. An indie dev can't afford it and a large corporate publisher isn't going to fork over the cash for a licensing fee because it will cut into their profits. By the time their Patent is up no one will be interested in making games using the system. That's part of reasons why you never see games with loading screen mini games even well after Bandai's patent expired.
@@ArcAngle1117 Shame. Damn shame.
Nemesis system was such a breath of fresh air
oh man the weird orcs
favorite part about it was how you could go into online and siege another players castle and recruit their orcs
@@sillybrice That sounds cool.
It's still is
@@trenchcoatbandit me:shames an uruk. Also uruk: WOO WOOO WOO! WOO..
I've played Shadow of Mordor the first one but I heard the 2nd improved on things from the first one. Shadow of Mordor is definitely a favorite Lord of the Rings game! I hate how WB trademarked it Indie devs could have used it. Definitely gotta check out the Sequel when I get chance because I heard they made Shelob waifu material in the game.
Shelob deadass looks like she gives mad gawk-gawk 3000 extreme's lmfaoo
Yeah, but the game on release wasn’t as good, they added lootbox things to purchase, the system is still a bit grindy but free. I say that the devs “tried so hard to make it a bad game but couldn’t.”
@@colinsnyder4661 tried to make it a bad game? it was good at launch IMO and is even better now if they were trying to make it bad they failed horribly
It's a blast to play
definitely check this game out 8/10
Had a great moment in this game. Was in one of my fortresses, and cane across a group of Orcs discussing how they were brainwashed. One was complaining that he got some random elvish, while the other was bragging that he got the classic 'Suffer me now!'.
Honestly, the Nemesis System basically writes your own personal story within the main plot. I love it.
super mega garbage system. it is clearly unfinished
@@gamerprecarioi can tell you got killed and now your mad lol
I freaking love this game and I still play it occasionally even today
Bro same this game was a banger
@@dominickone I would say that it still is
Yeah even the endgame is incredible fun. I made a flame build when a uruk dies to flames he explodes and that gets me on fire which me burning buffs my hp regeneration and litterly go god mod shotting out massive fire blasts 5 ticks which keeps everyone on fire and repeads the process XD i must say the only thing that can stop that are max lvl uruks with poison and stuff. the normal grunt uruks dying like flies atm.
Yea me too
I sometimes let my forts get taken just so I can retake them again with a new army.
10:30 ; Holy crap, I've played dozens of hours of this game, and I've NEVER heard this line!
This game just continues to surprise me, even in other people's playthroughs.
There are still tons of Uruks and Ologs I have never met once. Seen the Poet four times, but only seen the singer once.
The game has an absolute boatload of charming, interesting, weird, and quirky orcs you can run into.
When I first heard that dialogue in my playthrough I died laughing… literally. My Talion died right there cause I wasn’t controlling him because I was laughing so hard.
this is probably one of my favorite games ever, glad you're playing it.
But he’s so fucking bad. It’s Assassins creed and he just keeps dying. Trash gameplay
“Wait whose this!? Wait, what’s happening!”
A staple of the Shadow of War combat.
Wait till you meet the Orc Slayer!
Shelob hugs Talion: “No don’t hug me that’s gonna give me a debuff” THAT WAS FUCKING GREAT
We need a Lord of the Rings farming simulator.
"PO-TAH-TOESS"
Farmer maggot approves
Lord of the rings online is already a thing.
Thats just "Lord of the rings online"
Talion starts a farm with orks
One of the best games out there. Love me some shadow of war
shadow of mordor and shadow of war are truly best open world games material, the way both of them handle repetition in such an effective way specially shadow of war unlike other open world games is something worthy of lots of praise.
@@fulanoteateado6509 yea especially since they seem so under the radar compared to giants like assassins creed
@@edgelordy sometimes things being under the radar is better avoiding them having toxic cringe ass communities, the one thing i can say tho is that assassins creed ******* sucks.
Seriously man the game is just complete raw fun
When you said "That's a neat trick there Yennefer." I damn near died
When Kev picked that difficulty for his first time I literally shook my head and yelled no. The second half of that game is brutal
It's nice to hear someone say this. I brickwalled so hard in the second half
Tip, hit level 60 before starting shadow wars. Grindy but save so much effort in upgrading the ringwraith gear.
Would love to see more of this if your enjoying it!
Definitely expect another video on this :)
@@Kevduit hell yeah bröther
@@Kevduit hell yeah man I’m gonna be waiting
This game, I have very interesting memories of several Orcs. 1 though had to quit the game and never return. That poor Orc, I felt terrible when I killed him. He was deranged but he seemed happy when he MEEEEH MEH MEH MEEEEEEH. And died. Haven’t played it since but it was a masterpiece.
Yeah one cheated death and betrayed me I shamed him bc of iron will. Now he Is happy serving the bright lord! Also the orc: WOO WOOO! WOOO!!!!
I really want to see more of you playing this, it's such a fun/funny game!
The ending though hits hard. Still one of the best endings to a character ever.
@@Southern_Crusader could have been better if he killed that elf bitch
10:30 I love how even the game doesn’t know what he’s saying
ABOUT TIME! Your going to love this game!
no
We NEED another video on this game Kev, great work!!!
Oh I remember this game! I ended up dying to a guy once and then started to dismember him and 'killing' him. In the end he was 30 levels above me, had lost his arm, legs, had burns and whatnot lmao. Managed to actually kill him in the end as he was weakened but legendary tier regardless so I got gear that basically carried me for half the damn game
“They have the middle city… we made them pay for every inch of land but they now hold it”
“Was it like 10 bucks per square?”
I wish I could see an entire series of him playing a game idk why he is just funny as hell
this is my favourite game of all time period. there games out there that have things that are a bit better then shadow of war but there is just something about it that makes it so much fun. but i will say, on every playthrough i have done i didn't think it was going to happen but on one of those playthroughs, an orc that i had killed because he betrayed me came back as 'THE MACHINE'. i had never encountered one before but i knew that they existed and when i read his new title, i immediately ran away. i came back later stronger than before and i managed to recruit him to my army. after that, the game pretty much played itself as long as i used him. love that you playing the game, keep it up!
I can’t remember how long I’ve been requesting this game, excited to see you finally play it.
This game is such a masterpiece I've played it twice, and I might play it for a 3rd time
Beat the game twice on nemesis, once on easy, once on gravewalker, and like four times on brutal. Funny enough I never beat it on normal since brutal is such a blast.
I have yet to finish this game. I feel overwhelmed by the amount of content I think this game has, but seeing kevduit play it makes me want to play it myself.
1:37 I love this cutscene so much
I discovered this series about a year and a half ago so I’m loving it when other people discover it too
Just finished this game recently, and it felt a bit like War in the North at first but got progressively more anime as it went on until I was playing an emo necromancer demigod that could spam teleport with no cooldown, raise the dead, read minds, tame dragons, and blast poison in like 3 different ways.
Definitely the most over the top take on LOTR I’ve seen so far lol, but it took itself juuust seriously enough for everything to hang together and be a blast to play.
The necromancer build is the best take on necromancy I've seen in a game. I remember thinking Talion was as badass as he could get but when he raised an army of dead Gondorians to take back Minas Morgul I was in awe. Amazing game, I'm gonna re-download it right now
It's very over the top and fancy but it paces it juusstt well enough that it doesn't feel totally weird. Like if Talion was that emo necromancer demigod from the start it'd just be "This is LOTR??" but him slowly building his powers with Celebrimbror and then ending up as that feels more believable
Dude, this is the only review I’ve seen to give this game justice. Consider me subscribed!
(Shelob made me extremely uncomfortable though cause every time I saw her all I saw was a giant animorph spider.)
Really glad you started this series, started playing again recently and totally forgot about being able to ride the back of the oologs!
I cannot wait to see your sequel to this one! I absolutely love this game and you made it a lot of fun 🤣 just a suggestion : change the difficulty from Gravewalker to Brutal. It's just as hard, but orcs are not damage sponges that take way too long to kill anymore
Shadow of War is one of my favorite games of all time. Every part of it, including Samurai Jack as Ratbag, was wonderful for me :)
I actually downloaded this yesterday and played it for the first time. I’m loving it. Crazy how you uploaded it 😆
Great video as always. Would love to see ya keep playing this game
I anxiously await the day for him to learn how to counteract his character dying from the orcs executions.
Great Now I’m gonna replay this masterpiece
Please play more of this, the editing is amazing
You should definitely check out the final Dlc with Baranor, I feel like it’s tone is what the entire game should’ve been.
I remember playing this game a while ago back when it was free on PS+. I watched TLOR once and the hobbit too I think. Never played Shadow of Mordor, but hearing people's experience with the Nemesis system was cool.
Fast forward to the first ruins/battlefield, and my first instinct is to gather Intel and take down every orc commander on the map. I do, and to my surprise, another set of commanders popped up. I legit did not know that was how it worked. Deleted the game soon after to make space for Battlefield. I'm really considering reinstalling Shadow of War again.
OH! My personal experience, an orc archer I killed once with poison and the other with a decapitation, came back a third time and my brother loved it.
Brooo, I love your Chanel. Keep up the good work m8!
And so begins the rollercoaster legacy of Bruz...
most infuriating part of this game was doing two playthroughs (console to pc) doing all the dlc and not ONCE finding a bard 0/10 IGN
Wait were the Bard orcs really that rare? My nemesis that kept coming back was a bard. Damn annoying hearing him sing at me every time
I kill bards they get annoying fast
This is my favorite game ever I wish there was a ratbag DLC
6:12 i’ve never seen that before that’s the animation the calibrimbore to save you from getting attacked when you do a block while stabbing someone. The npc did it though.

I haven’t played shadow of war. I’ve only played the first one(shadow of Mordor). The gameplay was cool but I was bummed out when the story didn’t stick to the lore of Lord of the rings. It went off track in a lot of areas.
Especially that bullshit with Shelob. I like sexy spider ladies as much as the next guy but it was wholly unnecessary.
"I don't like how a game with its own characters and story is different to the original source even though it's meant to be its own thing and wasn't Canon to the original in the first place* that's you. What a dumb remark.
@@kalybgamingsummers Have you ever read The Silmarillion?
@@kalybgamingsummers gee what a “charming” reply 😒
@@kalybgamingsummers you’re basically saying that I’m dumb for wanting this new story to be canon to Tolkien’s original timeline. Which would be interesting. It would’ve been interesting to see Talion Lend a hand in certain points of the Lord of the rings story. So in conclusion: chill out and don’t be a jerk dude.
Idk why but your energy is awesome man 😂 super funny and easy to watch
So many of the Orcs are HILARIOUS!
i'd love to see more of this!
I’m very happy that you mentioned LOTR Conquest and LOTR The Third Age. Those were a massive part of my childhood
You thumbnails always bring a smile on my face :)
man i sure hope u make a part 2 XD
golden content
Long day at work, right at the end my phone beeps- New Kev video-
Today turned out to be a great day after all
I gotchu

Man you're giving me a nostalgiagasm by showing all the Lord of the rings games I never stop playing. They're all freaking bangers. It's a shame really that Shadow of Mordor and War have not got a next gen upgrade. I've been waiting for so long for that too happen so I can a much better reason to replay everything. I want to experience the Nemesis system again lol it's been years since I Platinumed those games. I hope we get an announcement for a 4k60 upgrade or remaster or something. It needs it. They'll be even more beautiful .
Ah a classic. One of my favorite games. I put at least over 100 hours into it. Had alot of good memories playing that game. Come back to it occasionally but I have a weird bug that really kills the game for me. Usually every Orc you encounter has their own introduction sequence for themselves. Well for some reason every Orc I encounter doesn't do their introductions anymore and are always silent. Really kills the whole uniqueness of every Orc. This only started happening awhile after I beat the entire game. Other than that had a blast with this game from start to finish.
1:41 I never notices gollum in this cutscene before (very left)
Good eyes
@12:04 "my weakness is fire"
Opens page doesnt notice it actually is fire that weakens him *🤣🤣🤣
13:34 that’s the coolest looking captain I’ve ever seen. Need one of them for my army
loved it!
I can't wait for the 2nd part! :D
Please have a part two for this🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@10:30 I love that the subtitle has ??? in it, even the game doesn't know what he said!
i really need more of him playing this game his reaction to bruz makes me think his story will be great to see
Hey dude, I enjoyed every second of your video. Thanks for that. I cried my eyes out of laughter 🤣😂🤣
This is one of my favorite games I’m so happy you are playing it
genuinely first video i seen from your channel. got this video randomly in my recommendations. I gotta thank the algorithm for this one. very entertaining video.
hey, welcome here!
Please do more parts!!! Bring this game back into the light!!!
Oh before I forget! Kevduit you forgot to mention the Hobbit 2003 game! It’s a great action and puzzle mix of a video game! That was my childhood man. Sting looked beautiful in that game and the voice acting was surprisingly good. It was a hidden gem
This is the beginning of a awesome adventure
Dude I want more of this game, it’s insane
So nice to see someone do a game coverage on this again, this game is superb and deserves any attention it gets. (Especially now the microtransactions have been removed.)
Amazing lmao so funny pls do more when possible
Fun fact, new wonder woman game is made by creators of Middle Earth Shadows of War and confirmed the nemesis system will be in it
I always laugh when zog keeps coming back!. Also enjoy seeing ragbag in game three story.
You gotta keep playing this. Love reliving it
Awesome video :D
I love this game
Kev I BEG of you for more of this please 🙏
Like..... The videos keep getting better..... But.... Like..... Am I the only one that is always just in awe over the intros every....single ... Time!?!?
Seriously. It's like they keep getting better and better every single time haha.
Nobody’s gonna talk about him having a tower captain directly at the start of the game
Love Shadow of War, even just playing the demo 3 times over (when I was poor) was really fun and I had even more of a blast with the actual game. If you want another LOTR game, then I'd suggest the LOTR Minecraft Mod (1.7.10), it makes Minecraft into a completely different game where you can explore Middle Earth (even areas Tolkien worked on only a little) and join up with the different factions, it's really cool (especially when you do the Genstructures world which adds in the different major locations in Middle Earth like the Black Gate).
I have wanted you to play this for so long let’s goooo
I absolutely loved this game and i played it for hundreds of hours. These were really good
'No don't hug me it'll give me a debuff.' That's a solid reference right there.
It was great craic to be able to watch this and Quantum Break on Twitch and joke around with you and chat. As usual your videos here are top notch also.
I remember when playing the Tar out of Aragorns quest and raging on it so hard as a kid!
7:33 Mid air tutorial ... how to fall down 😂😂😂
I need more of this.
This game is amazing, waiting for the next installment of this series
Please
