Man, between the iPhone and the amount of birthdays this month my budget is really pushed for the month. I would love to get this one Tuesday. Looks like I'll be waiting a while though.

 

[Audible]

I never understand any subtitles for OTs. Would be nice to include a "this is what this means" in each OT with some reference that not everyone knows.

I don't even think the last sentence makes sense.

 

[xBladeM6x]

Hopefully if they make another Middle Earth game in this style, they have it somewhere.... prettier. Lol

I'm sure the reception to this game will allow them to do that, haha.

cause Borormir (sean bean in LoTR) says "One does not simply walk into mordor"

30 Minutes of good quality PS4 footage

They mess around with killing a few captains nothing spoilery. No story stuff.

Man this game looks fun as hell, I can't wait to play wednesday!!!

This was incredible footage. Just praying the PC port is great, even with my measly 680 2GB! I am so excited to just run about and figure out neat ways to take out War Chiefs.

It's so impressive!

Middle-earth™: Shadow of Mordor™ |OT| In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Classy, from Tolkien himself, and oddly fitting for the game, my humble entry.

The red named overlords have answered my prayers. Praise be!

 

[cackhyena]

One thing at bugs me in the animation is when he does that first vault up a tall wall. It's like he glides past the point where a second footing should propel him to the top. Just weird.

Noticed that as well.

 

[Kard8p3]

GAF, I have a question, no idea if this has been asked to the developers or not though.

Say you dominate an orc, and he helps you kill another orc(his warchief, in fact, he is the one who delivers the killing blow, making him more powerful) is it possible that the warchief you thought was dead will be able to survive, and wants revenge against the bodyguard that betrayed him and usurped his position?

kotaku review was better

http://kotaku.com/middle-earth-shadow-of-mordor-the-kotaku-review-1639361008

That was an amazing review.

 

[xBladeM6x]

He definitely sounded creepy as fuck I tell you what.

His whole job is to write about video games. If you can't muster some semblance of passion for your work, it would suck to have that job.

I meant that as a good thing, btw.

 

[jinxthejiv]

This actually touches on what I think looks cool about Talion's design, his back. The ragged flowing cape combined with the nice looking swords makes for a great look.

BTW any good shots of the Dark Ranger costume?

best i could find

 

[Fahrenheit]

Still torn between the PS4 and PC versions of the game.

 

[M.W.]

Weird, in that thirty minute video the dude says there's no way to decapitate someone and that's it's random. He said that was the way it was to help extend the game (enemies coming back).

If they're injured and not decapitated there's a chance that they can come back later. If they do they'll have scars, bandages, metal plates, etc where you landed the final blow.

 

[ak1276]

What the heck do you want? Trees? It's Mordor, for cripe's sake

Mordor? Wasn't that the lush, green oasis where all the elven folk went to party?

Sorry, but it doesn't have 6GB of VRAM, so you may as well murder your family, play on PS3 and then turn the weapon on yourself when you finish.

lol, an AMD card

The GTX 970 is looking mighty tempting right about now.

With those specs the game would run extremely well. Don't know why you would get the PS4 version if you have a PC with those specs.

 

[Karak]

Noticed that as well.

I did too but honestly I noticed a lot of issues like that and I get that the reviewers are hot on it but it looks mighty clumsy alot of the time. Jury is out so maybe its just the way every single person is playing it right now.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

My only issue with the console versions. Lack of tessellation. Does the pc version have it? Those bricks on the broken towers look so flat and last gen. I really wish the current consoles could handle tessellation

There is an option for tessellation in the PC graphics settings.

I don't get that one. Someone explain it to me like I'm ThoseDeafMutes.

Really regret not playing Mordor on console. Nothing but major performance problems on PC. Fine, then sudden framerate, crashing probs

There was a thread titled "You know Ellie, we really are The Last of Us", which was about "times the name of a game is said in the game". Except that game never featured that line. Then OP acted like it was a forum game.

That thread is so weird. The first page especially.

No, it's an animation thing. Out of all the video I've seen, it's the only one that looked super off to me. Issues in the heat of combat or near ledges or whatever are in all these games to a degree. You even find jank in the batman games, stuff easily overlooked. I don't know how they thought that jump up the wall shouldn't get a little more love.

Me too. He sounded impassioned as shit which you usually get with games that have great atmosphere. To me, this game could be another RDR, which for me; has me excited at just the thought.

that is a HUGE game on 4chan iirc. It always starts with a pic of the last hobbit movie. Says something like "We finally did it. We reached The Hobbit:The Desolation of Smaug in HFR 3D" something like that

We've been discussing this to death, but most have disregarded that tweet entirely.

It is IGN after all, but we have seen excellent performance in other streams on top of Monolith's pedigree.

WB is giving out PC keys by the truckload to YouTube content creators. I very much doubt they would be going with that particular strategy if the port quality was poor.

"Edit: it's a forum game, basically we make up quotes from game titles as if they were actually said in the game"

Everybody else in the forum started playing along so I assumed I was the only one who saw the blatant "errrr what I meant to say was" and never mentioned it. Glad to see it actually wasnt just me lol

The lack of third party support for WiiU is no joking topic.

ummm...you trying to show off here or what

Worried about a crap PC port

You'll be fine. More than fine, in fact.

Yeah that whole VRAM thing is a mess, CoD did the same thing a while back and it ran fine in the end

With those specs the game would run extremely well. Don't know why you would get the PS4 version if you have a PC with those specs.

I hope

Y'know, nothing fancy.
I don't think its to fancy
