I usually don't buy DLC for games like this, but I think I will this time just to have more missions to use some of my abilities I never got into. Like the Shadow Strike Kill ability, that move is awesome and I was late unlocking it.

That move is awesome once you unlock the ability to link Shadow Kill attacks together. You can take out a line or Uruks in seconds.

I'll probably trade mine in, though. Wal-Mart is giving ~$30 for it.

I asked earlier whether the game continues to be playable after you have finished the story and maxed out your capabilities.


Based upon this post I'm guessing the answer is no.

It'll vary for each player. The Nemesis system is fun to mess around with and just cause havoc amongst the ranks. Some may find enjoyment in that while others probably didn't do much more than the story missions required.

Depends. There are always more enemies to kill and can continue to mess with the enemy system. I put a few more hours into the game after the main story by finishing out side missions and getting the platinum trophy. I've never been one to just poke around in a game after the main missions and all the side missions have been completed unless I"m going for a trophy. I don't even know a game I have that would tempt me to just roam around after all the objectives of the game was met unless I was into its multi-player (which is hardly ever).

The game offers 30-60 hours of content to complete 100% depending on your play style. If that's not worth $60 to you, I think your single-player gaming choices might be limited outside of RPGs and sports games.

The second half of this game is ****ing epic. Seriously, the gameplay and story come to a head at the same time and it's magical.

Spoilers ahead!

So the game obviously sets itself up for a sequel. Knowing the cannon of the universe, our character can't possibly win. So it will be interesting to see how they turn an already grim storyline into something even darker.

How awesome is it when your nemesis pops up at the end of the game? I had this particular Orc that was a level 19 by the time I finally killed him. I got chills down my spine when he popped up again.

The only minor disappointment was the final boss, but I figured it would be brief given the game had gotten so heavy-handed with its plot elements at that point.

I'm like 17 hours in and still have only completed half of the story missions. And it's lovely!

Every damn time I tell myself maybe it's time to continue the story, some d-bag ork captain will kill me and I'll spend the rest of the night plotting my revenge. My body needs it; so does my soul.

This Nemesis system is brilliant. Every open world combat type game needs to copy this or elaborate on it.

LOL. Glad im not alone in the "exacting revenge" camp. Still at 15% for the main story but am having a blast knocking some warchiefs and captains off their pedastals

Target gave me $40 trade in. $20 with 100% bonus. Essentially I paid $20 for 60 hours of gaming. Not bad.

Thinking of getting this with the b2 get 1 next week. Would you all say its a AAA title? I usually only get games that are high in reply value.

If my math is right, BB is gonna give me 42.90 when I trade in today. Bought it for $24.xx using GCU and rewards certificates.
Absolutely the best $18 I've been paid to play a game ever.

If it's not it should be. Helluva game

Re: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

My only fear is repetitive gameplay. Our I should say what seems like it. Is that a real issue?

Re: Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Picked up today, hoping reviews do not disappoint. Love the LOTR.

I'm at 70% and just started having serious frame rate issues. Anyone else experience this? This is the first time
