John Green Yeah same, it sucks. Not only were cheats free back in the day, but you didn't have to worry about the game being balanced around cheats. At least on the PC version of shadow of war, you know that if the microtransactions start becoming too annoying, it IS possible to just use something like "cheat engine" and give yourself a boost without having to spend money on a microtransaction, hopefully the game is balanced so you don't feel like you need to do that, but the option is there for those who want the microtransaction boost but don't want to spend the extra money.

a lot of Shadow of War's story comes from the side quest and tons of random encounters that add to flesh out what has been going on, for instant, one of the random encounters talks about how the Ring of Power to rule them all at the moment is in the shire, they also talk about seeing a hobit would be weird, but she guesses it wouldn't be that weird compared to all the different orcs in Mordor

Shadow of Mordor had controversy and people complaining back before it launched. Same thing is happening with Shadow of War, it seems to be a good game regardless of the addition of microtransactions. Don't care about them, getting the game nonetheless since I love the series.

You know despite it being said in this video that its been stated they will be optional. And honestly I must say I am not disappointed If you anyway care for my 2 cents: The loot boxes give random uruks. In the game (if its like SOM) you should be able to farm and groom the uruks you want. When it comes to online I feel like those that buy will get screwed over. They likely don’t know how to play the game, get random uruks and armor, and when their fortress is destroyed their uruks are killed and they need to buy more.

Shadow of war has to take place at least 2000 years before the fellowship of the ring. Sauron still has a physical presence in shadow of war meaning that the elves and the numenorians have not yet attacked mordor. If anything shadow of war takes place during the silmarillion because of the siege of Mina's ithil and the creation of minus morgal.

This is why many people pirate games and don't feel even slightly bad about it. I used to be all about buying collector's editions for the cool physical goodies, extra media, etc, and had no issue with spending an extra $20-$30 for them. Then DLC became a thing, which weren't necessarily a bad thing because it add new life to a game a few months later, then companies starting hacking out parts of the game that should be part of the normal priced game and called it Day 1 DLC, and charged an extra $5-10, or you had to pre-order, or sometimes both. Then came the dark times, micro-transactions arose, at first they were just in freemium games, and no one took notice because they were a way for "f2p" games to survive, until now when they began infecting full-priced games and putting pay walls in Single Player games. I hear the replies now. "But you don't have to buy them" "You can get everything by grinding" etc etc, that isn't the issue, the real issue is that being complacent about it only let's it grow worse and worse, as we are seeing now with micro-transactions in a SINGLE PLAYER GAME. The Fortress thing does not make it online/multiplayer so you can stow that load of bull right now. So I say Pirates Ahoy me mateys, fuck these land-lubbing grubworms right in their money sacks. Take what ya want, and give nothing back.

The implementation of an end game makes me so stoked for shadow of war. In SoMordor, I would beat the story, become a man-wraith bad*** and then have no idea what to do with my progress. With the end game though, it kind of feels like the story will never end, because, cinematic missions aside, the game is mostly about capturing and defending fortresses. It really seems like a never-ending war strategy game.

Theres a few comments saying "you can play the game without microtransactions". No, we the consumer vote with our wallets. Paying 60 dollars for a game that advocates singleplayer microtransactions is inherently aggreeing for the practice. When numbers come to crunch for Shadow of Morwar 3 they will weigh the idea per the success or failure of the game when generating new ideas. Thats why I myself and others are holding back if not refusing to pay for it. It sucks but as a gamer I feel the desire to support my hobby by supporting what I enjoy and aggree with. edit: "but you miss out on a great game" actually i dont. Who said it was guarenteed to be something I'd enjoy? As states before, if you buy the game you also inherently aggree to the practices of said game. Edit: whether you agree or disagree, I game for fun. I just also support good consumer/developer ethics because there are trends I'd hate for my kids to experience. I don't really care if you vouch for or against my opinion since you value your time and money differently than me.

Shadow of Mordor was good, and this looks even better. They have the same systems from that game, and it was not hard at all to progress in Mordor. It's not gonna be hard here either, I think.

Why on earth do you need Microtransaction-Lootboxes in a SP game? There is exactly 1 answer, because you dont value your customers and feel like a full priced title with a bunch of overpriced DLC's coming is not generating enough money to satisfy your greed. That's a shady business practice like day 1 DLC (Which the game has, what a suprise), locking the conclusion of the story behind payed DLC ect. If they are fine resorting to such shady practices i am completely fine pirating the game.

If you want to spend extra money to make your castle better that is fine (kinda shitty for an already $60 game though). What's not fine is the loot box system.

@lawrencestanley89896 жыл бұрын
Here's all that you need to know - the game has microtransactions, so they do not deserve your money. Do NOT buy this game so that developers will learn to stop this crap. Can you imagine having microtransactions in Super Mario World? Hey gamers, for only 19.95, you get Yoshi! He's not necessary to play the game, we just think that this helps with difficulty... Barf... Game developers, EAT ROCKS, you are NOT getting my money! Remember, if it's got microtransactions, Warn-a-Brother.... Vote with your wallet, vote HECK NO!

I'm really excited to play this game, it's going to be lot's of fun. I'm very VERY disappointed to hear about number 8 however. One of the reasons I loved the original was because I didn't have to hunt down or farm armor or weapons. Also I liked the way that Talion looked. The loot system is going to drag the game down for me.
@user-qv4ip5if9x6 жыл бұрын
TheUnholyOne you don't have to farm for loot and gear at all. It's been stated multiple times you can upgrade any piece of gear to last you the entire game. Plus you earn gear automatically by killing captains so it's not that hard to find high quality weapons.

In games like cs:go, the game is for 15 dollars and only had cosmetic lootboxes, that was when lootboxes started. Now look where we are, 60$ games which have lootboxes in singleplayer that actually affect the game both solo and ranked online. Gotta love all the innovate steps forward the industry is taking.

Azolture I never told him whether to buy it or not, I'm not a position to be able to decide for him if he buys the game or not. Nor am I trying to. I'm just giving him advice, as a fellow gamer, to wait untill the game gets released, And the other gamers review the game and give their opinion on wheter or not it's a good sequel, worth the price, or if the game is too grindy. Then he can decide for sure if he want to buy it or not. Cuz if he buys the game, finds out its not what he expected he's gonna have a bad time. I'm just giving No Man's Sky as an expamle of such case.

To correct you on a few points. It does not take place 60 years before fellowship. There are 60 years between the Hobbit and Fellowship. It takes place around a decade after the events of Shadow of Mordor which they stated took place around 5 to 10 years after the events of the Hobbit. Doesn't matter for the game but for the lore it does as they have stated that this game will be as cannon as the movies as even they left things out or changed things from the book. On the topic of micro transactions. According to people that have played the game and published reviews (namely eurogamer) they are pointless. They only provide two things, uruk captains and training orders. These uruk are all generated exactly like the basic ones from the in game nemesis system. So it's unlikely you will discover god like captains in these chests. As for the training orders you only get those from the war chests, however they are single use items to edit the different captains, war chiefs, and overlords you have. But there are two other things that you didn't mention. The game (according to most reviews) pretty much makes it rain mirian upon you so you have plenty to buy all of your upgrades in the game plus plenty for crates if you want. The other is that while yes you can only get training orders in crates, does that really matter? Lets say you want everyone to be an archer. What would take longer? Branding all of the archers currently populating your world, or buying enough crates to get that already low chance of finding enough archer orders to make everyone and archer? Probably the first one unless you are extremely lucky. You can't buy better things than you can find in game and yes you could potentially take shortcuts if you can't find that one blog who has the flamethrower weapon (which let's be honest we all want) but it could potentially take longer than finding a fire olog and letting him kill you or leveling him up enough that he'll get one on his own without having to buy a bunch of crates that end up being filled with useless items you basically don't want.
