The fact that the game gets a texture pack that requires 6GB of VRAM is surprising. Dont see alot of those.

The PCGamer video looks really good - game is so pretty. Glad it reviews well.. Monolith <3

Stoked about Shadows of Mordor like everyone else! I saw a view video clips and it looked so promising. I'm glad Monolith knocked it out of the park--hopefully, word of mouth will make the game catch on and get the sales it deserves.

... Now, only if I can rip myself away from Destiny.
 
Well looks like that extra Shadow of Mordor copy I bought won't go to waste.

Finally got my mic set up when all of my assignments are due.
 
Shadow of Mordor. = confirmed better than Destiny with half the hype and advertisement.

HELL YEAH!

Shadow of Mordor fans. Join hands with me and let jump for joy!

Weren't you the posterboy for Destiny on GAF running threads and clans or something?
This seems... weird.

Well damn.. Shadow of Mordor reviews are out. IGN 9.3, Joystiq 5/5, Polygon 9.5

IGN review has some tidbits about the PC Version, like the settings menu and some other stuff.

Looks like there'll be a texture pack where you need 6 fricking GB

I was going to say "6gb of hard drive space..." but then...

6GB of VRAM? Do they even make those? The larges I saw on the 770s when I bought mine was 4GB, I think?

Shadow of Mordor still region free yes?

First go here:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/241930/

Then click on the SteamDB link, which brings you here:
http://steamdb.info/app/241930/

Then click on packages for the app and look for ones that are associated with "store".
Find the sub that pertains to the base game, as I did here:
http://steamdb.info/sub/41305/

Note there is no ACRTAG or anything involving region specifics (outside of one for JP).

Rejoice that it's region free and hurry up and buy it at your russian discount before it gets locked.

Why do you have an extra copy?

I was a boy but now I am a man.
I played Destiny and quickly got bored with it. I was more hyped for Shadow of Mordor anyway.

I got a 50% off coupon for "Cloud Chamber", and it looks...well, at the very least, interesting. Anyone with some impressions?

Oh, and if anyone wants a 50% off coupon for Dark Souls II....I think we have a thread for that, but I couldn't find it. = P

I need to download more vram to max out mordor, apparently.

Happy it is reviewing well. Seem to be swinging a high average with Wolfenstein and now Mordor's OT

taking requests for your next anticipated game

Good stuff, Shadow - the early reviews are wonderful to see. I was confident about it... but you never know.

The ultimate test will of course be what you and the other learned folks of SteamGAF think of it - very much looking forward to hearing your early thoughts in 4-5 days or so!

Welcome back, Monolith.

Great to hear Shadow of Mordor is actually really good, and from the sound of it a good PC port as well. No way can I handle those ultra textures, but I should be able to do high settings at least. Can't wait for Tuesday.

Monolith is the true winner here. Good on them for getting out a solid Lord of the Rings entry.

Indeed. With their last couple of games (especially that console focused LOTR MOBA), I was really worried that the studio might cease to exist in a few years.

Who is Mordor? Is he a colossus?

He's Hodor's brother.

Eh, I can't speak for others, but it's not as if I'm declaring it an amazing game based on the scores. But the fact that multiple sites are giving it near perfect scores means it's probably not awful. I already own the game either way, so I'll see for myself in a few days, but it's good to hear positive news is all.

It could always end up like GTA IV and be a really mediocre game with perfect review scores, so I'm not celebrating in the streets that IGN have declared the game good. It's just a good sign, especially when a few hours ago I was worried because someone said they didn't send out PC review codes.

From what I've heard, they didn't. PC version could still be a mess, even if the game is good.

Everyone assumed they didnt, but they did. IGN review contains some stuff about the PC Version - and PCGamer already uploaded a max settings gameplay with a dedicated review to come later on.

Shadow of Mordor for $25/12-13 TF2 Keys was sweet. If the cut out content they're gonna offer as DLC is good I'll get the Season pass when it goes for 2-3 TF2 Keys.

My hardware instincts are telling me you wouldn't be able to make out 6GB of texture fidelity in 1080p.

I mean, I guess if you like to zoom in on things in first person and jack off to grains of dirt in the walls or something it might be beneficial for you...

Seems I have 3GB, High settings here I come!

the vram thing is only about textures, not settings in general. oh lordy the panic thats going around, especially in that mordor vram thread
