This is great.
"That guy's not necessarily dead, Orcs are extremely tough."
*stabs another Orc multiple times in the head*
"OKAY, THAT GUYS DEAD, THOUGH. CAN WE CONFIRM THAT GUY'S GONNA DIE?!"
"Not necessarily."

Ha, good stuff. Smart and fun advertising right there.
I generally use this imgur chrome extension for quick and dirty shot capturing in the browser when I just want to share random stuff.

That's good, but the exchange between Shadow of Mordor and BurgerKing is the best:

Also it's good to note that the guy playing is literally the best SoM player in the world since he has been the one doing most of these live demos. He said during one of them that he probably has over 1000 hours with the game and still finds it challenging as well as still sees new orc captains.
...Are you trying to make me salivate? That sounds amazing. There's no way this ends well for my personal or professional life.
Yeah, you just right click, select imgur->capture area and drag a box around what you want to capture.
On topic: that stream death posted earlier definitely reminded me of some of the times I got overwhelmed in one of the Batman games.

On Firefox, I use Abduction. Right click on tweet -> save page as image -> automatic screencap of entire tweet (helps to go a tweet on its own page)

Time to mail something back and clear out the old rental queue for this. Not exactly excited, but I'm going in mostly blind with tempered expectations, so I'll probably enjoy it

I think the twitter profile pic is the best thing about it.

lol that game was dumb in a bunch of ways

It wasn't a very good game, but the sound production in those game were incredible. It felt straight out of the movies. I also appreciate the idea... no idea how they greenlit a JRPG like that.
Winning as the Old Warg in that play-as-the-villains-mode was impossible.

When I preordered the PS4 version on Newegg I got 5 dollars off, If anyone is interested. The discount doesn't show up until you are on the review order page right before you order it.

Well, shoot.. it just occurred to me that my GPU might not be up to snuff for SoM.
I need your help, SoMGAF!
Can AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition GPU run Shadow of Mordor? From what I gather it's too slow, but I'm not certain.

It's anyone's guess at this time really. We'll know soon enough.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.
I almost didn't bother checking the req's. The previous generation of consoles has made me lazy.
Guess I'll be waiting on the sidelines until it releases.
Edit:
So tempted... ;-;

Played the game at PAX Prime and loved it. Can't wait for it.
My PSN Pre-order is calling. Midnight on the 29th.

Oh man, I'd completely forgotten. I actually want to play that game again sometime though, playing an RPG with Howard Shore's score was so cool.

If it makes you feel any better, I exceed recommended specs and I'm still not 100% sure it'll perform well. That said, I'm still very excited.
So I normally don't hark on DLC and season passes, but does anyone else think this seems ripped from the main game. Extra enemies and species to hunt, unless I'm mistaken all that'll be unlocked day 1 for season pass holders. The reason I say this is that they have been showing this game for months and more or less it seems like it's been ready to ship for at least a month. The pass isn't even crazy expensive, but it does seem like the content was ripped out to be sold desperately and that is very dissapointing.
No. 1 sword, 1 bow and 1 dagger, all of them upgradeable with runes. You can change your characters skin, though I don't know how many (if any?) are included in the base game for free.
The short answer is no.
Long answer is that weapon runes might change the weapon look but I'm not sure. Only change how you look with skins. There's a general pre-order skin and a Gamestop pre-order skin, none that I know of in game..

That's kind of disappointing, IMO. Oh well, I'm still pumped for the game.

Great OT, the hype for this game is killing me lol
Initially I was disappointed by this as well, but then I reminded myself that in the Legendarium characters hold onto weapons for eternity. Aragorn doesn't loot a new sword every time he kills an orc, he's got Andúril for his entire arch. So it's actually in keeping with the world that Talion would use weapons that were significant to him in some way.
Yep, and the story behind his dagger definitely fits that.
Minor spoiler that will probably be revealed early game, hell might be spoiled in a trailer.
It's his dead son's broken sword.

Hmm, if I get this eventually do you think a rig running a GTX 580, a Core i5 2500k OC'd to 4.5ghz, and 4gbs of DDR3 1600 ram will be okay for this?
If I had money I'd just buy the game and upgrade, but I don't have either so sadly I won't be here around launch time and I wish I could support this game day one.
I think this game will surprise us all with how great it is, I just have this gut feeling it will be another Rocksteady kind of situation mixed with a return of a legendary studio.
Either way I hope it sells really, really well because it shows so much promise and to hear the developers talk about it with such enthusiasm.

You'll run it fine.

My rig is very similar. 2500k at 4.6Ghz, 570 at 930/2100 and 8G DDR3. An overclocked 570 like mine can match a stock 580 when the core is at 850.
The 660 is only slightly faster than a stock 580 thus im thinking my oc'd 570 will be very close to 660 levels. You on the other hand should be good at stock unless you want to overclock it a little bit to get extra frames. A decent clock would definitely put you past 660 performance levels which is the recommended gpu.
The only problem is vram. Hopefully its optimized enough and doesnt use more than 1.2Gb otherwise i will stutter. You have a bit more headroom at 1.5Gb.
I doubt it will use more than 1.2gb unless it has some seriously nice texture work.

I want this to turn out good but it screams THQ quality. Like just some super cheap elements that keep it from contending with the AAA games. The lighting and colors are off and fake looking, the random glowing magical stuff that doesn't mesh well with the stunning cinema depictions of middle earth, the glowing orc eyes when under control. Ugh, just some tacky cheap stuff going on.
What in the hell are you talking about?
What the hell are YOU talking about? I kid but seriously bro, lets do dis!
They explained that is exactly why they did it as well. And of course your weapons will have names.
So you're gonna be streaming arken? I've been planning on it as well. Anyone know if it's true that the game is releasing at 12am PST or is it going to be a 10am release?

From the creators of the hit MOBA Guardians of Middle-Earth comes an action epic starring Celebrimbor, the creator of the Rings of Power. As one man, undermine, turn and defeat the armies of Mordor using your awesome supernatural powers and abilities, eventually taking on the Dark Lord himself. Infiltrate Mordor... and leave nothing but shadows in your wake.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is an epic action/adventure title due out September 30, 2014.
I can't blame people for any negativity they may harbor.

Yeah, I don't understand his argument either and I'm not saying he is wrong though but the way he explains it, it's like it's an imitation of the real game which doesn't exist lol. I'm guessing the artstyle looks more vivid and thus to him is not as realistic as he expected it to be? I don't know because it looks great to me.

Does this look like a game of the year contender to you?
Sorry, but it looks cheap. It's not polished like other major titles. Again, it screams THQ to me. That Darksiders and Homefront bleh where you know it won't be the top game in whatever quarter the publisher releases it because it's got that weird multicolor stage lighting fake look and the streaks of light that swinging a sword leaves for no good reason.
Just my perception.
...okay.
