    In my first half hour of this game I swear I promoted more uruks than Sauron himself. Hopefully I'm less of a clutz as things progress.

      Except it's Monolth's first game based on Middle-earth and they already nailed the combat, something AC is struggling to this day to do right. It's miles ahead of AC in this - most entertaining - regard.

    • @TadejVig
      @TadejVig 10 лет назад +3

      NeOmega Well yes, that's why I said it's one of the best. It's basically Assassins Creed that has Batman Arkham series combat with some more abilities and the game actually focuses on assassinating orc unlinearly (you set your own targets, different orcs each time you play, you can even manipulate it). It's a fun game, but you can't deny that it borrowed shitton from AC/Batman games.

    Thanks for the guide! Can't believe how ungrateful, spiteful and down right ignorant some people are in the comments - they think just because THEY don't need or want a guide that other people shouldn't need one! Maybe some people like the game and just need some tips/tricks and other might want to see what kind of game it is before buying or maybe some peeps are just completely stuck on it and need help (it's not like it's an easy game after all). If you don't like or appreciate something just move on instead of ruining it for everyone else and complaining sheesh! I found this guide helpful anyway so thanks!

    It looks and runs great at 4k 60fps on ultra settings with HD texture pack installed on a modern PC. Only the cutscenes look a bit dated as a result of them being pre-rendered at 1080p. Strangely the second game (Shadow of War) doesnt look as good on similar settings or run anywhere near as well (animations are a lot jankier as well). Makes me wonder if they used a new Dev team/engine for it.

Took me two days and have about 60% complete on that grind but imagine if a polished assassin's creed had a baby with batman arkham games this is what youd get basically but what sets it apart is the nemesis system the AI is brillant and you never experience anything like it a game and itll keep you coming back for more just slaying war chiefs and captains and feeling the real connection between you and him is amazing

      Hey yes you are right the final blow is what it counts for your weapon runes ( i think). But what kind of runes you get for that weapon rune are random =) So if you kill with sword you get sword rune but with random stats, if you kill with arrow you get arrow rune but with random stats and so on.

    • @HoodedDude
      @HoodedDude 10 лет назад +2

      Not the final blow, i've found out. But if, say, a captain is vulnerable to stealth attacks and you use at least one stealth attack on him, even if he doesn't die from it, you'll get a dagger rune. And so on.
      Basically, you get runes from exploring captain's weaknesses.
