Is Shadow of Mordor any good?

Edited April 16, 2017 by tec

indeed it is

I'm trying to check out halo2 wars, but it's pissing me off. Anyone try the game yet? The cutscenes are stuttering/choppy as fuck, to the point they're unwatchable. I've downloaded all video codecs I should need and can't find any fixes online. Any ideas?

 

Computer is brand new, top of the line everything. GPU is showing 10% load during videos so not sure wtf.

good for a few hours, combat feels nice, but insanely repetitive. 5/10

There's a deep look at it by Ken Levine (Bioshock creator, also partly behind System Shock 2)

There are two games that really kicked off what we think of as the modern “open world” game: Super Mario 64 and Grand Theft Auto III. These games unshackled the player from linear progression through a game’s levels. I think Shadow of Mordor is the first “open narrative” game. You’re not just checking off missions in a variable sequence. You’re changing the dramatis personae. Whenever you succeed or fail, the characters in the story respond to your actions, and not in the manner of a branching “choose your own adventure.” It is an excessively simple, yet impressively flexible, crime story.

 

Thanks, that sounds intriguing. I've had it for months but never got round to playing it yet.

same

Persona 4: Golden is good, satisfying my RPG urge nicely. Vita is an underrated console imo.

Still playing Hitman. My friends and I just reached 10/10 in the Paris level on the professional setting.

the remake of Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap is really charming and the hand drawn animated look serves this old Sega Master System game well 30 years later.

Does the we5t 0ne cheat still work ?

I'm not sure if it has passwords, I'll have to try it

Taking a break from Mass Effect: Andromeda and jumped back into Dark Souls 3 to try the Ringed City DLC...

Decided to do a new playthrough before going into the DLC, ended up being my strongest build yet too... Reached the DLC and I just cleared the Dreg Heap and beat the first of the boss fights, that was a fun fight (if not a tad bit easy though), did it on my 2nd try with some help from the NPC summons. Getting to the boss fight itself was a tricky bitch though... Curious to see where the second part of the DLC heads, now that I've reached the Ring City proper.

Yaaaaasss ! As a kid that was the only way I played it! It was only recently, playing the PC Engine version, I realized how hard-as-nails it can be sometimes when playing it properly

 

Technically this was my first Metroidvania I guess

Eurogamer is claiming the SNES Classic Edition is in development for Holiday 2017, which I can see being even more popular than the NES.  This better not mean no SNES Virtual Console on Switch though...

^^^ it also better not mean that every store gets 3 of them before nintendo announces it will be discontinued 6 months later because they didn't anticipate how popular it would be

Good luck finding one, I still never saw those damn NES consoles anywhere... now they're being discontinued and will be racked up to like $300 on amazon or ebay

This is Nintendo we're talking about, when have they ever been known to fuck up supply and demand for a product ?
