Lol visuals are as important as gameplay in my book. Especially performance.

Dude. One of my favorite parts of that whole movie. Aragorn looked supremely bad ass right there.

I love how they make a huge fuss about:
1) his name being Strider
2) him being a Ranger
Neither come into play in the entire trilogy ever. It's instantly forgotten after it is said.

Well if someone creates a digital foundry thread on neogaf about mordor it is used for technical discussion such as framerate , resolution and comparisons between console and pc. If it bothers some users then they can stay out those threads.
Of course if things get too rowdy mods will take appropriate action. There is nothing wrong with talking and comparing performance in a well moderated environment.
Pretty sure the fact he's a ranger is the reason he's able to get an army together to save Minas Tirith at the last minute. The books are different from the movies in that the ghost army isn't a win button but just something used to scare the shit out of the orcs while the ranger army carves them up.

Which was never the case. A bug caused those inconsistent framerates (PS4), which got fixed with the day1 patch.

That GMG deal is tempting. Do I want this? Does the game punish you for taking your time and killing orcs over and over to level up and get better runes?

I wonder how much the nemesis system is stripped down for last gen. Just curious.

I hope at the end of this generation we're looking at a new franchise.
And not one of those 'underrated games that never got a sequel' threads

I really genuinely hope this game is the new Arkham Asylum.

100% Agree - If my frame-rate is all over the place, it totally kills my enjoyment and immersion within the game world.

I'm really intrigued about the nemesis system. I have been reading bits here and there but can anyone give me a more of a rundown as to what features it does contain. Like I get that the orcs can go up in rank etc but I also hear that you target them for like assassination or am I wrong there. Sorry it's a bit of a random post but I guess I'm just looking for things to be clearer.
Yes, you can target orcs for assassination and replace him with one of his bodyguards that you control.
I'm still wondering what the advantage of killing an orc over dominating them is, beside the sheer satisfaction of seeing their heads roll?
I mean, when you dominate them you take over a position in the hierarchy and can also use the dominated orc to attack another warchief. When I kill an orc, he goes away and another orc takes his place. What's the point of killing them then?
I'm gonna cut off all their head regardless of any advantage, though, just because it looks so damn cool

If you control a bodyguard but not the warchief you can have the bodyguard betray his master, kill him, and take his place.

I believe killing them nets you a rune for your sword whereas dominating them doesn't.

At least you have it preloaded, GMG won't give keys yet.
Well, I'd hope they caught up to a bit more than low settings. This time last generation console versions were pretty much matching PCs max settings, while this time around PC Ultra usually runs rings around every other version.

Yup the devs said it was toned down for last gen so it could be a reason why warner pushed those versions back.
But why not just let the bodyguard betray the warchief and then dominate the warchief as well? Two dominated orcs are better than one, right?
Yeah that's a valid point.
Steam page says it unlocks in 3 days and 6 hours, which isn't final but there is still hope!

The guy on the stream insisted -after getting asked multiple times- that it's 60fps. I couldn't judge by the stream, but at least I never saw tearing.

I found out that it runs at an unlocked 60fps. I'm expecting a few drops, but consistent. If not so, will be a shame.
Cheers!
More frames per second means it looks smoother.
Higher resolution means each frame looks better.

Cheers mate. Just never understood the arguments and why people won't purchase a game if it doesn't have these.
Im honestly not sure. It runs very smooth though, and I've only experienced some minor slow down 2-3 times in 7 hours, all during wraith interrigations.
I just have to share this aswell.
After 10+ deaths against the same fucking enemy, I finally managed to kill him today. The fucker was immune to most of my attacks and always had a pack of orcs with him whenever I met him. I've met him several times since the start of the game and never managed to kill him.
I've honestly never held such a grudge against a video game character before. He has leveled from 5 to 20 and caused me so much problems.
I spent 3 hours this afternoon, killing off his captains and leveling up, just to be absolutely butchered when I gathered the courage to attack him again,
Then I interrogated an informer and learned that he fears Caragors (the bear/hound things) and that he's susceptible to stealth kills.
So I tamed a beast and let it loose inside his camp after tracking him there, watched as he fled, and followed him at a distance.
When he was alone on a cliff, I snuck up behind him and slit his throat.
God daaaaaaamn, it felt so good.
I love the nemisis system.

I did my own version of the Banderas gif after reading this post. The Nemesis System sounds incredible.
