Shadow of Mordor new gameplay video

The Orcs and LOTR feel is spot on, so you should be on point to enjoy! Had a great bit with a character from the films/books last night, but wont spoil it for you!

A couple of my American buddies were playing this and I asked them what it was like.

"Batman: Arkham Asylum" meets a more realistic "Assassin's Creed".

Both insist it's one of the best games they've played on the Box so I'm back to being interested.

Just got home in time to greet the postie on his second delivery and receive my copy!

Just gotta decide what to play first - this or FH2?

^ Either one Mr Hog, both stunning games in my opinion!!

"Shadow Of Mordor" of course.

getting this game in my xo bundle have absolutely no interest in playing it but will give it a go at least.

I found Mordor tricky at first but once you start figuring things out it really comes into it's own.

^Agreed, I got into so much grief the first night I started a new playthrough last night! Loving it but the whole "behind enemy lines every one is your enemy" vibe takes a bit of getting used to!

Is there any way to make the "counter" prompt more subtle? The combat animation is fantastic but the big fat yellow "Y" prompt is more at home in "LOTR Lego" than "Shadow of Mordor". That and the captain health bars.. though understandably necessary are
a bit of an eyesore too.

Apart from that the game is excellent and you'd have to be crazy not to pick this up.

Been to busy playing to post! but just wanted to say how good this game is!!

It really is 'Assassins Creed' set in 'LotR' universe, but if thats not a winning combo, I don't know what is!

As a fan of the books and movies - this IS the 'LotR' game I was looking for!

Azrael008uk · Oct 7, 2014

I keep trying to play this game but I keep getting snatched by a very persistant Alien.

^ Alas, a problem that may soon be afflicting me also!

That time of year again..

I don't really like the AC games, but I also hear it's a bit like the Arkham Games which I like.

Game looks great, its a solid game but does have its annoyances, I killed a beastie last night and went to admire is corpse only to find I could walk right through it as if it didnt exist which was a bit meh. Some texture pop in, but overall its Assasins
Creed with a tweak. Nemesis system seems fun, although I am rapidly getting a dislke for certain Warchief who keeps joyfully killing me. The intel system for strengths and weaknesses of your enemy warchiefs is good and makes you strategise encounters. Combat
is nice and free flowing and the executions are nicely animated, Off with thier heads! Once the ability skill tree and weapon upgrade skill tree start filliing up should add to the fun. Not impressed with the constant beasties to watch out for though,
annoying when your sneakin through Uruk land only to have a pack of Warg things attack and cause a ruckus, but that could be my idiocy in not avoiding them. Overall happy with it and looking forward to getting deeper tonight
