Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor |OT| One Title to rule them all
- Thread starter Levyne
- Start date
I'd at most have waited to hear of strange issues, which didn't seem to have happened.
I'm in a better position to sweat it there, i5 2500k/8GB ram/560 Ti with 1GB VRAM. And unless their recommendations are grossly off I'd probably be better off with PS4 without a video card update.

Of the title suggestions, although I like this best:
Nothing wrong with simply parkour into Mordor though, I spat my drink it was so funny.

Why does the OT title keep changing??
Same for Destiny. I've never seen that before. Not so often at least.

Is there going to be a Steam pre-load for this?

Already is.
Steam pre-load may or may not have started a few days ago.

Future Krappa,
The original OT was "Boromir was wrong", then "One simply parkours into Mordor", then back again. More correspondence to follow should the War of the OT change.
Cordially,

I normally don't say this, but I'm not spoiling myself. It's pretty obvious the orcs, and their personalities are the highlight of this game. Wanna go in fresh with that stuff.

So you are saying it was there and back again?

It's kind of fitting actually. The thread title is constantly being usurped by new thread titles much in the way the nemesis system works in the game.
Some mod should dedicate all of their time to keeping this meta nonsense going.

Yeah hopefully it comes out soon...
Tomorrow hopefully.
I just want to abuse works NBN connection instead of my pity ADSL2+...

haha yeah i feel you. I was really impressed by how unique each of the orcs looks and how they all have their own motives for doing things. Monolith really put a lot of time into this game and it shows with the level of detail.

NBN & home for me, so basically I log into Steam, redeem the code, then tell Steam to download it on my home PC.
So not actually a major issue for me
Even though I'm going to be playing DS2 on the 30th, it would be nice if SoM was installed. In case I want to check it out for a few minutes!
If you start a newsletter at any point let me know, I'd like to subscribe.
If you are on PS4 or Xbox One and live in Europe, it will unlock on the 3rd.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor |OT| The Best Game Released in September
I'm kind of amazed at how positive everyone is for this game, especially after the trainwreck that was Destiny (as seen in its OT and review thread). And very few people here have even played Shador of Mordor!
Question for you guys - do you think that this positivity is mostly a result of minimal advertising/hyping of the game beforehand? As in, no one really had any expectations for the game in the first place, so they could only ever be impressed with the result? Again, this is in sharp contrast with Destiny, which was marketed to hell and back (and because of this, many gamers wanted it to fail).

Maybe, it didn't really seem to get a lot of press coverage despite being at all the major conventions and what not. I think now as the good reviews are coming out people have finally noticed it. That and the fact most LoTR/middle earth games have been shit. I keep hearing the Batman AA comparison, apparently this game is following a similar trend of attention? IDK, wasn't on GAF at the time.
It probably has something more to do with Shadow of Mordor being a good game that's lacking in a bunch of divisive design decisions.

Comparing this games dev cycle to Destiny is insane.
Destiny is a Legacy Child groomed from inception to be the next King.
Seriously, that's like asking why do we think Sliders is a good show if Fringe exists. Or we why think other movies are good if Avatar/Titanic exist.

Expecting GMG to pull a GMG and have keys for people who buy it Monday evening but people who prepurchased it have to wait for their keys.

Guy is horrible at gaming.

Damn you! I did have cable at old place, but moved to Ashgrove and have to deal with ADSL2+
Ugh, re-watching these trailers makes me so much more eager. One thing I've been super excited about since its initial announcement was the fact the sword had no clipping onto the cloak. Blew my mind.
Yeah. Great quality though.
