I’ll be honest, I love your narrative style, your normal commentary that isn’t that god woeful over the top voice like ‘Falcon’ and ‘Dreamcast Guy’ *slap*. You don’t waffle or repeat yourself over and over again or take two minutes to say what can be said in ten seconds, bravo you 👏 Keep on doing what you do as I prefer it.

Yup, I finally finished it last year on PC with Steam Controller and it was the best game I played in 2022. I still play it from time to time to find new strategies of taking on a whole horde of orcs at once. The after game content, though, didn't meet my expectations. Hunting on sneaking caragors is repetitive and, frankly, a disappointment. Also, about lending games to your friends... Steam is amazing at that. Their Family Sharing service is exactly what you'd do in real file with physical copies - here's my collection, have at it when I'm not using it. Kudos to Valve.
yes steams really good, hence the reason they didn't get slagged ! Nintendo are also really bad with it !! Is middle earth 2 that bad? and thanks for the early comment and view ! (what specs did you have when running this on pc, may look)
@@CouchCoop128 Didn't play the sequel yet. 😆 I promised myself not to buy new titles until I get through at least 10% of my ~1.2k games backlog... I meant the extra missions from Lord of the Hunt DLC. I play Shadow of Mordor on i5-6600K cpu, 16GB RAM and two different GPUs. According to my screenshots I first tried on gtx 750 and in fullHD it run at 17/31/66 fps (min/avg/max during benchmark). On gtx 1070 it run at 47/91/251 fps. I'm on Linux so I can't use DLSS but I later on found out I can use FSR for upscaling and got equally smooth gameplay in 2K but I can't do benchmark with FSR for some reason so don't have numbers for that.
Such an awesome system, so many times I screamed at my screen when I'm in some massive fight and in strides in my nemesis walking like his got the biggest set of jewels between his legs ready to mess up my day. Loved it!
it was the birth place of badassary for current gen LOTR games ...also the death place by the looks of it🤣 ...checking out the sequel as we speak, cheers for comment Guzzer, hope the weekend is treating you ok,
@@CouchCoop128 I wish more games applied things like a nemesis system, it made your game personal and have a unique memorable villain. Enjoy your weekend dude.
I’m new here bro but I wanted to compliment you for that intro It is very unfortunate that mediocrity and inauthenticity is more successful than a channel like this who seems to be genuine & passionate but then of course doesn’t see the same success as channels that ride the current wave and just parrot what the popular opinion is at the time. I have much respect for people that think how you do & are genuinely caring about their audience. Keep it up my dude I want to see you make it 👌
great comment bro, appreciate that, I've had a few changes in my life since this video, I'm going to try really hard with the channel up until christmas !
More and more I get the feeling that with last gen games got at a level that it will stay at for more than a generation and that the PS5/XsX are nothing more than just an update of last gen instead of a new gen. Old games running finaly as good as they should have (you're welcome, Cyberpunk) and new games not getting that much better. These "Still holds up" reviews are very much in line with my own observations. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with my switch from 4 Pro to the 5 but personaly I don't see any justification for calling this a new generation as things has developed the last 3 years.
That was a 1st class moan. As an older gamer, I agree with everything you said. I'm a big fan of physical media. I played Shadow of War. That was an amazing game. The battles were incredible. So many enemies/mates on screen at once.
As a content creator, i think its super important to keep physical going, as a gamer even more so ! Thank you for watching a 'still holds up' appreciated ! 🙏

Lotta love for a more traditional approach. All this youtube shorts shoutyness really hurts my brain. Maybe it's just cos I'm getting old...

@@CouchCoop128 @amnril this is 2023's equivalent of old men in a pub groaning about the good old days.
I really loved this method of watching while you record. Almost made me want to have a dialogue about it. But that's not RUclips, that's a zoom call.
If that's zoom call then YT has become Tictoc.
But I like it too lol.

Too bad this wonderful game and the equally great sequel never got that next-gen 60fps patch we are all still waiting for.
the sequel on gamepass pc may get me there ?
@@couchcoopuncut1898It may...
Totally agree
Gotta check this one out for sure, Love it Coop. Great vid!!

thanks Ren, your defo one of the hardcore huddle, appreciate all your comments bro! thank you
They were great games. Cant remember which one i liked more.
so 2s worth looking at ?
@@CouchCoop128 Ive much more fond memories of the first. But 2 ain't terrible.
How about Shadow of War on PS5? I hope it would get a next gen update. But I don't think so 😞
I'm gonna look at it on pc, top setting etc
Great game (better than the sequel imo)
i do want to look at the 2nd !
@@CouchCoop128 it's not shadow of war isn't bad, I just have fonder memories of the original.
Just picked up SOM of PSN for £4. Steal
im gonna look!
I always buy physical copies. Its cheaper and also i like showing of my collection on display.
