Revan Reborn The writing of the two games was average, but Celebrimbor’s character is fucking great. Their interactions in this game are actually pretty enjoyable, especially when you collect the artefacts.
Regardless whether it's canon or not, Talion would remain to be as one of my favorite videogame characters. The serious single objective kind of character never usually works well but they executed it flawlessly with Talion, the restless gravewalker, the selfless ranger, and the shadow of war. You will not be forgotten, unsung hero.
I liked him a lot more in SoM though, not only did he look better (lol), but he was also more mysterious, like a ranger across a barren hostile landscape. Too much interaction/civilisation. Idk, can't really describe it. Not that I disliked him in SoW tho
"You speak to me of betrayal? When you and Celebrimbor left me to die..." -Talion, the Fallen Ranger. Hit me hard man. Still a fantastic game that I play to this day.
@@siddhanthmv3675 Celebrimbor could have ended the war but just like before he let his hubris get the best of him. Eltariel was strong but she lacked conviction, even Sauron pointed out that had Celebrimbor brought Talion they would have ended the war there.
@@naegoaway3562 a surprising amount of gaming channels, lol I guess they dont understand the fact that the ending remains true to the themes of LoTR and really was the only way that made sense in my opinion
FidelCashFlow i agree, the story was eventually made canon, and I liked it, and I love how they put a song in this game, like how all of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies had songs at the end
Yeah idk why people hated on it, at least it wasn’t like the first game, and besides it fits really well with the level of strength Mordor and Sauron had, Talion could never escape Mordor truly. Although I really hate the Galadriel DLC as it just shits on talion and the very ideals it tried to set up. Not only that, why did etariel take the ring, as she herself despised it and even hated the very rings of power Calabrimbor made, makes 0 sense that part XD
Xman42635 I thought i was the only one who noticed, so i kept scrolling hoping someone else caught it..... so here i am lmfaoo 😂😂😂 XD XD who knew balrogs have such beautiful voices
It's like general grievous, he was op af when he first appeared and was one fast fuck then after he was wounded to the chest he got his cough and is greatly weakened stamina because of his injuries therefore he was weak as hell in ROTS
She is the spawn of the great Ungoliant. The Primordial Evil that made accord with the first Dark Lord Melkor. To which the great Spider almost devoured the dark lord if not for his cries that alerted the Balrogs. Goes to say that Shelob would be intelligent and cunning just like her mother.
I just finished the game right now. 2md playthrough. This time on Brutal difficulty. I don't want to play the Gravewalker difficulty. If I wanted something like that I'd be play Souls games. I rage quit Sekiro.. not for me. 😅
YES. I will forever cry about it. I can only hope that Embracer allows Monolith to make another game after they've finished Wonder Woman. I love these games so much
Talion is the living definition of the phrase "Either you die as the hero or you live long enough to become the villain." He was one of the best videogame characters I've ever seen, I'm glad in the end he finally got the ending and the peace he always fought for.
After beating the game, this song has so much more meaning. It almost brings be to tears. Never forget this, traveler: Nan Ichir Gelair Mordor, All shall fear me, and rejoice.
The writing was certainly not the focus of the game I tell you that. I love this game but no way would I call the story amazing, and the story missions too were quite awful...
"The Time Has Come, For A New Ring" "As Long As I Have Breath In My Body, My Fate Is My Own" -Talion Ranger Of Gondor Captain Of The Black Gate Gravewalker Nazgul Tark Bright Lord Husband Father I Hope Your Sacrifice, For All Of Middle-Earth Will Never Be Truly Forgotten
It is now three years later... Talion continued his fight in Mordor. Eventually, before he fell to darkness, he defeated his greatest foe - Lootboxes. And restored order to Middle-Earth.
I think it would just be a better idea to do what bethesda is doing with skyrim maybe come out with some new content for shadow of mordor and shadow of war some new mods some new dlcs
Revisiting what is an underrated masterpiece. Thank you for the memories. Rest in peace Talion, you held back the forces of darkness for as long as you could.
Fric calembrimbor I loved him in shadow of mordor I did see some signs of betrayal still but without him sauron would probably still be trouble but because of him he was
@@Mikloow_702 We've heard the rumors that it might be in Gondor, or Harad, but who knows. The time frame could be a custom story within the fourth age too which would be neat since orcs still exist, along with the corrupted men.
My mom wasn't much of a video game lover, like at all. But she heard this song and I taught her how to play . I miss her every day. I like to imagine she was like Talion at the end. Relieving herself of burdens and walking into the light to be with my dad
I know this probably doesn’t mean very much coming from a random stranger on the internet, but I saw your comment and just wanted to say, that I am sorry for your loss and I hope your mom rests in peace.
Dudes made a completely off canon storyline and came up with something a million times better than what amazon did with a multi million dollar budget for a tv series. This game perfectly embodied Celebrimbor as the prideful/semi cold hearted first bloodline of Noldorin just like his father, uncles and grandfather who was Feanor. I still watch cut scenes from this game to get that cringe sissy Celebrimbor they casted in RoP out of my head.
Just beat the game. That ending made me cry, GOTY 2017 personally. I loved the first game, this one improves in every way. Thank you Monolith for giving us such an amazing game, and giving me my name.
Jacob Wilkinson PFFFT I wish! I borrowed the name “Talion” from Shadow of Mordor when it came out since literally nobody knew about it and “Blacktear” refers to the “Sea of Black Tears” from Brütal Legend. So yeah, I appreciate the compliment though ^~^
Played through this game on my first playthrough on Nemesis Difficulty and all that I can say? Fuck the reviewers and die-hard loreguys, man. I loved this game, every bit of it.
Hey guys, I just finished your game with 100% complete today. My final mission was the defence of seregost, my favourite region. I was wearing all the nasgul outfit with the wraith skin on. After the battle ended and the finale played, I was moved. I changed Talions skin back to normal, put on all of his epic ranger gear, call my favourite bodyguard one last time and promoted him to legendary status. After that I exit the game and put it back in the case. Thank you so much for such a wonderful adventure.
I don't know if a can consider what i'm going to say a spoiler but... Well, here it goes "Nothing will be forgotten" But nobody in middle earth will remember what Talion made happen :'(
DobleDeWom maybe gandalf knows but never said his name because he failed and turned into a ring wraith? Or maybe his name is only used as a warning to all who want to take one of the rings and his legend was forgotten
Girls locker room: ugh I hate pe it’s too much running Boys locker room: I have come into This arena to fight your champion IM STILL WAITING I HAVE HELD UP MY END OF THE BARGAIN AND YOUR CHAMPION HAS HELD UP HIS THE DARK PROMISED MERCY I MAKE NO SUCH OFFER RUN RUN TO YOUR MASTER AND GIVE HIM THIS MESSAGE I COME FOR HIM
Who else is here after finishing the game? My eyes become watery.... Rest in peace Talion. Awesome game. Now Monolith do a Battle for Middle-earth 3 strategy game or something else in the Lotr universe.
Remus88Romulus i agreed with you. This is awsome game fantastic i finiah this game and the first part and i very equipment to trilogy lord of the rins and the hobbit, i saw this trilogy a millions times 😉👍
Been a LOTR fan since childhood. I got this game for Christmas in 2017, and it took me 94 total hours to get %100 completion. I'll always remember tears and emotions when I heard this song for the first time. Will always be one of my favorite video games.
Trek_Backgr07nd I enjoyed the story. That was the whole reason I bought it. I just don’t think that it’s worth spending 10+ hours to get a cutscene telling you stuff you already know
Trek_Backgr07nd Lets see what we already new that the “True” Ending tells us - Talion would become one of the Nine - Frodo would destroy the ring - Sauron would be defeated - Talion would die Now let’s see what it reveals to us that we don’t know already - Celebrimbor is freed from the eye of Sauron when the Ring is dropped into Oroduin Wow, fucking hell, to many revelations, mind cannot take so much information, completely worth the 20 hours I spent doing repetitive missions dear god. I’m not arguing that Shadow Wars isn’t fun, I enjoyed it myself, I’m arguing that it’s not worth playing if you want he secret ending
Imagine, if this were canon... not a soul in Middle-earth, not Frodo, Aragorn, Legolas, nor even Gandalf the wise, would ever know of his valiant stand against Sauron's relentless forces, nor of the ultimate sacrifice he made in the silent shadows of their grand tale. His heroism would remain a whispered legend, lost in the winds of time, a light unseen amidst the great chronicles of the ages.
A legend spread mostly among orcs and ologs, Ratbag would have spoken about it. And no doubt many an orc bard would have SUUUNNNGGG about Talion, or the poet orcs written an epic for him?
@@the_mr_leon-raccon_kennedy6842Gandalf probably knows something of the bright lord, but not everything. Maybe the maia knows that a rogue Nazgul was holding Sauron in mordor and specifically chose to form the fellowship of the ring when this Nazgul finally did fall?
Talion lost everything and still fought for what was right. Thank you to the shadow of war developers for making such a freaking awesome game! Shelob and Talion: They were the real MVPs in shadow of war.
When i finish most of the games I just move on. But when i finished this one I felt that it moved something inside of me. Maybe It's because it takes place in Middle Earth, maybe that the ending was really good or maybe because this song describes the whole game in 4 minutes and 7 seconds but whenever I remember something about this game I feel a strange motion in my body. Partly happines that after so many years someone outhere is still making LotR based games and partly sadness that Talion is dead and we will never see him again.
Guys who played shadow of morodor a lot of times to at least soften the hype but still with every vidoe of shadow of war that comes out the hype grows stronger
Talion was quite literally the last man on the wall, if you think about it, the rangers of the black gate were tasked with holding the gate and preventing mordor from invading middle earth. He did his duty right to the end until he couldn't anymore
I am souls player and things I am noticing now: 0:10 Radagon 0:22 Messmer's war 0:26 Spider from Belurat settlement 0:28 Marika from Trailer from her classic feet scene 0:36 Messmer's war
Wherever celebrimbor ended up, I really hope he also found both peace, and time to reflect on why things had to go the way they did. He's such a tragic, unique character... I kind of want him to realize why what he was doing was wrong, but I don't want him to suffer as he's what Talion would have ended up as if he fell to darkness straight away, only worse because he'd end up as a new dark lord.
To the boys: Talion: main character/ the most heartbroken/ the true bright lord Bruz: the Aussie pit fighter/ the favorite character of many/ doesn’t want the fort lol Ratbag: the etten’s second head/ the surviver/ an idiot/ the lucky one/ the loyal one The headhunter: R.I.P Càrnen: R.I.P celebrimbor: the Ring Maker/ the bright lord/ the betrayer of talion/ the OG “Ranger”(Az-Tarmo): the etten’s body/ the biggest olog/ ratbags companion.

LET THESE LEGENDS LIVE ON (EXEPT for zog. He never truly dies ;) lol)
LOTR will always have a special place inside, even before Shadow of war i was playing LOTRO now years later all the friends you make have moved on, good times good memories and good mates!
Been playing it since I heard Shadow of War coming out. Never finished it because I loved playing with the nemesis system so much. Just completed it yesterday and got my follower and nemesis all ready.
Best 2017 song , really , I haven't listened to anything this year , everything is just garbage , but this is a masterpiece , it's so good ,been listening and watching all day :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
2017…what a good year. It was one of the best for me. This game holds so many memories, I find myself coming back here often. Nostalgia really hits hard
Same bro 2017 was the best year of my life well there were some up and down but this game Brought me so much joy that year and A lot of things like TV shows. Or movies. Brought me the happiest moments of my life just remembering. Playing this game. And Watching. The TV shows. They were just the best. I wish I can go back to 2017 To relive the nostalgia And happiness. I had Then the sadness I have now in these stupid damm years of my life.
Let's be honest: The story is full of incoherence with the lore of LOTR, but Shadow of War let us made OUR story with all the orc's friendship along the way. I created my own narration with them and made them stronger enough to make a tournament before destroying my save file after 100% this game. I still remember their faces, fading in the Fires of War.
By their silly logic, the LOTR movies aren't canon to the Similarion. These games only filled in blank spots of the lore, whether or not they are canon is up to the individual
The melody of this song especially in the last cutscene where Talion walking through (you know where) really hit me in the feels man... A great story from Monolith even knowing it's all inaccurate.
as Gimli said never trust Elves. All war of Middle Earth it was Men who lost everything. after all these years when I listen this song I burst info tears, I wish my memory of this game gets erased and I could play again. My hero Talion I would fight for you and die beside you. Rest in Peace Lord of all Middle Earth
I actually didn't hear this song until I fully completed the game. It's an absolutely amazing feeling to hear quality lyrics put to a melody you've heard for weeks on end as you've played the game. I got chills at 1:30 when its really evident that the melody is from the main menu theme.
"Celebrimbor's lust for power clouded his vision, and yet I still miss him. After all.....no war should be fought alone". - Talion
Revan Reborn
The writing of the two games was average, but Celebrimbor’s character is fucking great. Their interactions in this game are actually pretty enjoyable, especially when you collect the artefacts.
Personally speaking, many folks would think that even after being betrayed by those who used to be close to them.
“Power can blind those who seek it”

The serious single objective kind of character never usually works well but they executed it flawlessly with Talion, the restless gravewalker, the selfless ranger, and the shadow of war.

The best part is after he dies he finds peace in death
1:06 if you look carefully calembrimbor isn’t reaching for talion he is reaching for the ring
“How much of your soul did you put into that ring?”

DobleDeWom maybe gandalf knows but never said his name because he failed and turned into a ring wraith? Or maybe his name is only used as a warning to all who want to take one of the rings and his legend was forgotten
Gabriel Belmont Celebrimbor's life is bound to THE NEW RING , he doesn't rest in valinor yet
The bright lord will return ?
DobleDeWom It's not canon.
Shadow of War was one of the best games I ever played on my life, I request and await for a sequel

Fitness goals for life.
Take no prisoners
Tony the Chang Boys at school really are like orcs.
@@stormpants1638 Sometimes.
Stormpants 1 true tho
Coming back to this in 6 years is just crazy
Who else is here after finishing the game? My eyes become watery.... Rest in peace Talion. Awesome game. Now Monolith do a Battle for Middle-earth 3 strategy game or something else in the Lotr universe.
yep same
Why give this huge spoiler !!! DAMN it.......
Remus88Romulus i agreed with you. This is awsome game fantastic i finiah this game and the first part and i very equipment to trilogy lord of the rins and the hobbit, i saw this trilogy a millions times 😉👍
Normely dont cry but this is something
Well the blades of galadriel ending open a big possibility for a new Shadow sequel
This game NEEDS a movie
Hell no
Yes
It has 6, 3 lord of the rings and 3 hobbits
Yes yes it does
yes
Been a LOTR fan since childhood. I got this game for Christmas in 2017, and it took me 94 total hours to get %100 completion. I'll always remember tears and emotions when I heard this song for the first time. Will always be one of my favorite video games.
3:24 the balrog has a amazing voice
Adam Atkinson I see what you did there
I read this at th exact moment hahahahahahaha
I mean it was hilarious
IKR!!
😂😂😂😂
Man, my brother and me used to bet money on the orcs in the pit fights
I cant believe it's been 6 years man I remember playing this song on the ride to school daily leading up to launch wtf
Mark my words, the instrumental version of this will be the menu music for the final game.
it would be a shame if they didn't
yeah
matttnathan it better be!
Mark my words ! This song will play during the game when Talion gets a big emotional moment !
ShineyCrow like how "The dawn will come" plays in Dragon age inquisition
Who else is watching this after getting the true ending?
bcz most of them stopped playing after celebrimbor merged with sauron .
Trek_Backgr07nd Beat Shadow Wars. Probably not worth it tbh. The final cutscene is pretty predictable and poor
Trek_Backgr07nd Explain how. It was a single cutscene about a minute long just telling you stuff that you already new
Trek_Backgr07nd I enjoyed the story. That was the whole reason I bought it. I just don’t think that it’s worth spending 10+ hours to get a cutscene telling you stuff you already know
Trek_Backgr07nd Lets see what we already new that the “True” Ending tells us
- Talion would become one of the Nine
- Frodo would destroy the ring
- Sauron would be defeated
- Talion would die
Now let’s see what it reveals to us that we don’t know already
- Celebrimbor is freed from the eye of Sauron when the Ring is dropped into Oroduin
Wow, fucking hell, to many revelations, mind cannot take so much information, completely worth the 20 hours I spent doing repetitive missions dear god.
I’m not arguing that Shadow Wars isn’t fun, I enjoyed it myself, I’m arguing that it’s not worth playing if you want he secret ending
5 years. Feels like an eternity
Every good game needs a good song to accompany, hopefull the rest of the games soundtrack can live up to the standard this is setting.
Not that hard..
Bob Bobinson it probably will
I will probably shut the music and sound effects in a fort assault and play this song while taking the fort
the instrumental version is even better than this
So far the trailers have some badass music.
B R are they allowed to put the movies music?
After hundreds of hours of playing this masterpiece I finally managed to get the platinum trophy. One of my favorite games ever. And the song amazing!
This was easily one of the best games
Imagine, if this were canon... not a soul in Middle-earth, not Frodo, Aragorn, Legolas, nor even Gandalf the wise, would ever know of his valiant stand against Sauron's relentless forces, nor of the ultimate sacrifice he made in the silent shadows of their grand tale. His heroism would remain a whispered legend, lost in the winds of time, a light unseen amidst the great chronicles of the ages.
I mean Gandalf would probably know
@@the_mr_leon-raccon_kennedy6842 There was no mention of Gandalf having knowledge about Talions existence. Rather just Saruman.
A legend spread mostly among orcs and ologs, Ratbag would have spoken about it. And no doubt many an orc bard would have SUUUNNNGGG about Talion, or the poet orcs written an epic for him?
@@the_mr_leon-raccon_kennedy6842Gandalf probably knows something of the bright lord, but not everything.
Maybe the maia knows that a rogue Nazgul was holding Sauron in mordor and specifically chose to form the fellowship of the ring when this Nazgul finally did fall?
@@MarioCastillo-ck9xf LEEEETSSS SSSSIIIIING!!!
3:36 My man, he finally gets to be in peace
R.I.P.
I just finished the game last week and now this song is stuck in my head and I cant stop listening to it.
Send help
Talion lost everything and still fought for what was right. Thank you to the shadow of war developers for making such a freaking awesome game!
Shelob and Talion: They were the real MVPs in shadow of war.
Chicken Master i’d say i want a sequel, but i really dont if i have to play as eltariel, which was hinted from the dlc. Nothing can compare to talion
@@amememachine8974 the sad thing is, Talion's quest is over
When i finish most of the games I just move on. But when i finished this one I felt that it moved something inside of me. Maybe It's because it takes place in Middle Earth, maybe that the ending was really good or maybe because this song describes the whole game in 4 minutes and 7 seconds but whenever I remember something about this game I feel a strange motion in my body. Partly happines that after so many years someone outhere is still making LotR based games and partly sadness that Talion is dead and we will never see him again.
That's how you tell it's a good game
I still play it to this day I love this game and the original
@@sillygoose2878 exactly the same with me
@@sillygoose2878 which do u like more
deus vult Shadow of war
Beautiful song. It suits the game so well in my opinion. It gets me even more pumped for the game. I hope this comes on Spotify.
best song of 2017
Right they should put on Spotify I add it to my gaming playlist
I totally Agree, Spotify HQ Version should be a thing!
Yeah, I'm surprised it's on even on there yet.
Maybe it won’t cause Spotify took away shadow of mordor’s album after awhile
Damn it's mid 2020 and I keep coming here for the song.just reminds me how beautiful the ending of this game is.
And back again here in 2023
Why isn’t this on Spotify?? 😞
Ikr
It is but it isn't playable still
@@WitcherGrandMaster How is it called? I can't find it
@@xzsevxtirezzxka0s224 Just type up fires of war and look for the right playlist and you will find it
@@WitcherGrandMaster still not playable 😭
Guys who played shadow of morodor a lot of times to at least soften the hype but still with every vidoe of shadow of war that comes out the hype grows stronger
"I fight for my family, I fight for Middle Earth. I fight for the man I once was..."
Talion was quite literally the last man on the wall, if you think about it, the rangers of the black gate were tasked with holding the gate and preventing mordor from invading middle earth. He did his duty right to the end until he couldn't anymore
"I am One But We Are MANY!"
I am souls player and things I am noticing now:
0:10 Radagon
0:22 Messmer's war
0:26 Spider from Belurat settlement
0:28 Marika from Trailer from her classic feet scene
0:36 Messmer's war
Wherever celebrimbor ended up, I really hope he also found both peace, and time to reflect on why things had to go the way they did. He's such a tragic, unique character... I kind of want him to realize why what he was doing was wrong, but I don't want him to suffer as he's what Talion would have ended up as if he fell to darkness straight away, only worse because he'd end up as a new dark lord.
Great music, Great voice actor, Smooth background. Nice job!
13:52
To the boys:

Shadow of war: one of the best games ever made!!!
Can’t wait for the next update, it’s totally gonna change the game that it once was
LOTR will always have a special place inside, even before Shadow of war i was playing LOTRO now years later all the friends you make have moved on, good times good memories and good mates!
Very exited, been playing shadow of mordor all week.
06/09/2017
Right the best way to start with this new game is playing Shadow of mordor with all the DLC and the forge to be ready
Been playing it since I heard Shadow of War coming out. Never finished it because I loved playing with the nemesis system so much. Just completed it yesterday and got my follower and nemesis all ready.
Play sow now
me too buddy
If you came back in memory of this game, certified legend
Still coming back for this music. 2024
Best 2017 song , really , I haven't listened to anything this year , everything is just garbage , but this is a masterpiece , it's so good ,been listening and watching all day :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
This song literally giving me PTSD. The flashbacks are crazy.
I came after being mad with Game of Thrones ending!
Feel better:)
Kind of game which you play story on but youre afraid to progress, thinking its gonna end
So many playthroughs and Talion's lines still give me chills
2017…what a good year. It was one of the best for me. This game holds so many memories, I find myself coming back here often. Nostalgia really hits hard
Same bro 2017 was the best year of my life well there were some up and down but this game Brought me so much joy that year and A lot of things like TV shows. Or movies. Brought me the happiest moments of my life just remembering. Playing this game. And Watching.
The TV shows. They were just the best. I wish I can go back to 2017 To relive the nostalgia And happiness.
I had Then the sadness I have now in these stupid damm years of my life.
I cant stop watching it ;-;
finaly pre ordered the game^^
yay
Me too
Me neither.
Me too
I bet you guys stopped
Shit still goes hard 6 years later 👍
Let's be honest: The story is full of incoherence with the lore of LOTR, but Shadow of War let us made OUR story with all the orc's friendship along the way. I created my own narration with them and made them stronger enough to make a tournament before destroying my save file after 100% this game. I still remember their faces, fading in the Fires of War.
I am a big middle earth fan loads of them where pissed about this game but I love it nothing will be forgotten indeed
By their silly logic, the LOTR movies aren't canon to the Similarion. These games only filled in blank spots of the lore, whether or not they are canon is up to the individual
Games nearly been out a year and here I am back watching this sad Music Video of the ending song. Makes me sad everytime still.
Same it always gets me in my feals.
NO!! you are making me cry again😭😭😭
This song hits harder when you get the true ending 😔
Finally Talion can RIP along his family
You fucking bitch, stop spoiling
Wisp of Life
You’re really gonna sit there and say that this game was never gonna end with Talion’s death? Don’t be dense.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Even after all these years, I come back thanks to a small ember of my past. It never lost it's fire.
The melody of this song especially in the last cutscene where Talion walking through (you know where) really hit me in the feels man... A great story from Monolith even knowing it's all inaccurate.
Talion: Gets a op ring of power
Sauron who doesn't have the One Ring: ha ha I'm in danger
Someone needs to make a tutorial about how to play this song on piano.
Gonna play this during fort assaults
PurpleFlyingCow 13 me too
yee
Assassin just preorder it online:D
Darth Pyros Personally I don't preorder. In my opinion it's paying for something that's not finished making yet.
I pre order assassin orgins too the 100 dollar one and I'm gonna get the new Xbox for these epic games
as Gimli said never trust Elves.
All war of Middle Earth it was Men who lost everything.
after all these years when I listen this song I burst info tears, I wish my memory of this game gets erased and I could play again.
My hero Talion I would fight for you and die beside you.
Rest in Peace Lord of all Middle Earth
Who here Waiting For a Sequel
There won't be one 😢
You never know bro
This is fantastic.
Tienes razón 😏😏😏😏
2:11 tethered to the killing wheel
Sun up, sun down, sun up, sun down again...
That part gets me every time.
I actually didn't hear this song until I fully completed the game. It's an absolutely amazing feeling to hear quality lyrics put to a melody you've heard for weeks on end as you've played the game. I got chills at 1:30 when its really evident that the melody is from the main menu theme.
Here are we, people who beat the game and back to this legendary music
Finishing Shadow of war brought me here. Feels man
@@axelotl7411 me too bro
