The Shadow of War games.
The Nemesis system was amazing, but the game wasn't polished and had issues.
They somehow patented the mechanic and no one else can do it. And I steady of WB making a new game with it, they made fucking Smeagole
“Suffer me now!”
If any of you vaguely like LOTR and see either of the titles come up on sale, give them a shot (or watch 5 minutes of playing first to get the feel for it).
I wish they’d come back and produce a 3rd one but the patent definitely kills that idea.
Oh, man, no, if you like LOTR stay away.
If you don't mind LOTR, then give them a shot, they're fun. They're just a lore nightmare.
If anybody has ever dared to be mad about Rings of Power but is out there tolerating or enjoying the Shadow games they need a meeting with the consistency police.
I also loved the Mad Max game that came out around the same time with a really similar gameplay feel
The driving and driving combat in that game was 10/10 and the world really well done too. The only let down, at least for me, was the main story. I still hop on and blow up some vultures every once in a while.
See, that's a problem with this concept. Shadow of Mordor is easily a point or two better than Mad Max, and probably half as much better than Shadow of War. I think of those Mad Max is a valid choice. Definitely a flat-ish AA thing that you can get into. I never quite did, but I can see it.
But why did they call it Shadow of Mordor when the mountain was called Mt. Doom, that's what would be casting shadows after all
I rarely get into single player games but I played the second one and loved it. It felt so satisfying building this giant army and wrecking whole castles.
