Can't wait! Was maybe the most fun I've had on my PS4. I completed it once and then bought the GOTY edition this fall and played it again.

I hope the map is larger and it would be cool to have different fighters. But the action was great in the first game. The story was decent. The game needs a difficulty level though as the first was a bit too easy.

For me, until I was able to upgrade weapons, it was a challenge. When it became easier, there became the obsession to wipe out every nemesis, but they were like cockroaches, get rid of one, and another takes its place. So, can you actually wipe out every nemesis?

I can't remember but the CPU just generates someone else to take their place.

Looks amazing! However, I really would love for the sword combat to be more visceral. What I mean by that is, more dynamic parrying back and forth, with even the lower tier enemies.

Yep, and I blindly went back at eliminated the replacement. I don't think you can ever completely wipe 'em all out.

OMG this game looks stunning. I wish it came out a month earlier. It comes out the same week as Madden and my fantasy football draft. I'll go from being bored out of my mind to having way too much stuff all happening at once.

Hands-on impressions of sieging a fortress. I think it's cool that overlords can adapt.

Yeah that was my biggest takeaway from the article. Love that you can't just rinse and repeat the same moves.

This looks fantastic.

Re: Middle-Earth: Shadow of War

wow, 90 minutes? That's awesome but am I the only one who thinks that's a bit too much? I want to play the game myself, not watch someone else explore it.

kind of reminds me about an article about movie trailers and how you pretty much see the whole movie beforehand, LOL

There's parts in the video where the devs are talking/explaining and not really playing. Plus, there's parts that have already been shown. It's not as bad as it seems.

ok, well that is better. i applaud them releasing information and people can choose to watch or not, just sort of seems like pretty much really banging it on out there fast and we still got a ways to go before it's released.

madden releases the same week and we ain't see beans about that, but that's another story really

Re: Middle-Earth: Shadow of War

They are really confident with their game to be showing off that much of it.
