General Kenobi Hi! Im planning to buy the game next week and I just wanted to confirm some things :) Is the nemesis system really dynamic? Are there no repetitions in orc models and orc voices? I know stat-wise they are different (aka some are afraid of spiders) but just how dynamic are their appearances? Does it get repetitive somewhere down the line? Like does no two orcs look and feel the same? Also how long is the story and how ‘dynamic’ is the nemsis system? Thank you! :)

That's actually impressive that they did that.

@@robertmech3069 in the last update they also added new armors (specifically Nazgul masks), two new difficulties, increased the level cap, made xp faster to get, epic and legendary orcs show up more often, and there is more incentive to play once done with the main story with new modes and gaining skills after reaching max level so you can keep getting stronger.

@@fragglefknrock7568 I admire your negativity

JJ C Okay not gonna lie if the protagonist was a female and the micro transactions made her more sexy I would be that idiot... just saying

JJ C What kind of an idiot calls another person an idiot just for how they spend their money? What if Lil Timmies daddy is a brain surgeon and brings home 500k a year. Is Lil Timmy an idiot for spending his money how he wants? And before you say it, I don't own this game, or any other single player game with loot boxes/Micro transactions. I honestly can't even name another one besides this. Edit:I guess Skyrim has it now due to Creation Club, but they all suck and the free mods are far better.

Zovioh_FGC What kind of stupid logic is that? Lil Timmy's dad earned 500k a year, he can buy as much cocaine and child prostitutes as he wants. Is he an idiot for doing that? Nahh he's just "spending his money how he wants". Just because you want to purchase or fund something with your money doesn't mean you're not allowed to be criticized for it.

Bill Qiu Comparing throwing a few dollars into loot boxes with using it to buy a life ruining substance is beyond stupid, and you're arguing against something that's beside the point. My point was that what is a "waste" of money is completely subjective, and largely based on how much money the individual has. And beyond that, if the loot boxes or skins or whatever enhance somebody's experience in a game, I don't really see how that was a waste.

Bill Qiu It seems like there's a slight miscommunication here. Of course there are stupid ways to spend your money and I do think people should be judged for that I just don't think buying loot boxes or microtransactions in video game is one of them. Assuming you can afford it, buying dlc doesn't damage your health or break the law, like your examples.

It's august 2019... Is the microtransactions and lootboxes really gone now?

are they totally removed now ? im thinking of buying it

@@fio5434 yes atleast on steam version don't know about consoles

I got this on Xbox with the game pass. No microtransactions

Gogo gadget skiis yep

Yeah I really love the game now and It never once crashed on me once!!!

Is it also removed on PC? Cause it's at 13 euros now with a 75% discount on Steam (black friday i belive) so i figured i'd buy it

Pedro Vilar Yeah it is. Trust me, one of the best video games I bought in recent memories. The nemesis system is perfection, and it has over 10 fortresses to take over.

I picked up the Shadow of War Definitive Edition on Steam for $15.90 after taxes in early November. I have had a ton of fun with the game.

bsherder Severely underrated title tbh

I greatly enjoyed of Brakú the suspect being executed by Garm the executioner only to be assaulted by Bruz the murderer. Talk about a crime show gone savage.

I would give it a higher rating for being self-aware and dammit hilarious.

*because WB got all the money they could get from it. FTFY

Phony Pony Bologna I mean if they were milking it like people were making it seem they wouldn't have changed The Shadow Wars and added like 20 more levels. It seems they do actually care. Even if it was a bit of a cash grab in the process

Phony Pony Bologna You're implying that this happens on a regular basis, when in reality most publishers do not spend time and resources into removing loot box systems from their games if these systems are profitable, especially when they've only been in their games for six months, since they cam still make a profit years down the line. The reason they were removed from SoW is because they *weren't* making a profit off of them, and they weren't making a profit because Monolith designed the game to make the loot boxes as unappealing as possible.

Joe If they cared they wouldn't have put it in in the first place and let it sit out for what was it? At least a year maybe 2? Before finally patching it out. They got their pound of flesh and when the loot boxes started to become public enemy number one they saw an opportunity for some good PR in the process. So they removed the loot boxes, realized it totally fucked game progression so they altered the end game content to make it less insidious. Don't excuse the company that is deliberately trying to fuck YOU over.

Enuma Elish The paid loot boxes were in Shadow of War for a grand total of 6 months, not 2 years. Also, when you talk about "they", you're actually talking about two completely different groups of people, the publishers and the developers. The publishers were the ones who wanted to have a microtransaction system in a predominantly singleplayer focused game, while the developers were the ones who actually had to implement said system into the game. The reason why the microtransaction system could be removed from SoW barely six months after launch was due to the way in which the devs implemented the loot boxes into the game. You never felt the need to purchase additional resources as the game was designed to give you as many of them as you needed by simply playing through it, the content that you received from the loot boxes was never exclusive to them, in fact it was almost always worse than what you found while playing through the game, and even if you did want to purchase loot boxes you could still do so with the tons of in-game currency the game gave you or earn them as rewards for in-game challenges and online missions. The developers deliberately set up the system to be as unappealing as possible and as a result the loot boxes sold incredibly poorly If the loot boxes broke game progression then their removal would have coincided with the July patch, but the July patch came two months after the paid loot boxes were removed. If they truly did have this kind of effect on the progression then you would have expected the game to be nearly unplayable for those two months...and yet it wasn't. The endgame content getting changed in the July patch had absolutely nothing to do with the removal of the loot boxes as they had no effect on progression whatsoever. In order to "beat" act IV Shadow Wars and unlock the epilogue cutscene you had to go through 20 repetitive Shadow War missions which were also designed to allow you to level up and you HAD to go through these missions regardless of how many loot boxes you purchased as none of them allow you to skip this grind. Also, the aim of these missions was to dispatch waves of orcs that attacked you by either killing them, which gave you gear, or dominating them, which gave you followers, the same exact resources than you'd get through the loot boxes and resources which you HAD to acquire in order to progress so purchasing loot boxes for this stage in the game was beyond pointless. What the July patch did, among many other things, was to shorten the number of SW missions required to unlock the epilogue cutscene...however it also increased the level cap so while you can more easily "beat" the game now, you actually have to grind even more to reach max level and as the infinitely repeatable Shadow Wars are still the best source of XP you will still have to go through a lot of these missions. The SW grind was one by design, and there was absolutely nothing insidious about it.

Lord Gamer His...virtual money? You realize that all the loot boxes in this game were purchasable with in-game currency and could also be earned through normal gameplay, right? In fact, this is probably one of the main reasons the developers were able to remove them barely six months after launch since they weren't making a lot of money off of them, and judging by how the game was designed they really weren't made to be very profitable.

STUNTS Back in D1 we were forced to use binary to complete a code for one exotic weapon, D1 definetly wasnt for kids, while D2 is much shittier, scaled down and simpler version of D1, unfortunetly D1 in its third year was a perfect game but bungie scrapped most of the features that made it great when they were making D2. Btw fun fact more than 50% of destiny comunity are people who are 16+

Central Scrutinizer I just bought the Gold edition yesterday lol

Central Scrutinizer got it on Xbox for 14

Just got it for 12 lol

ok

And Halo 2 showed you in cutscenes with the weapon you were previously holding unless it is the start of a mission. I wish more games did both.

I think it has to do with the cutscenes being made BEFORE the items sets were all made. That's just my guess.

SuperKnalxz Grey the cutscenes aren’t real time

This is most likely it. They probably pre-rendered all those cutscenes a long time before they decided to add different armor sets and stuff and they said fuck it, we're not changing the cutscenes.

I know in the (Bungie) Halo games the cutscenes are not pre-rendered, but scripted animations which is apparent when you see dead bodies or vehicles in the same places which can be hilarious at times. Pre-rendered cutscenes are not as enjoyable when you notice it is the *exact* same thing every time regardless of everything else going on. Perhaps an advantage of them are better details if you are using assets outside the game engine.

Calimero Hœnir shadow of wars lootboxes arent even relative. they are far from the worst.

you mean Battlefront 4

reachcole yeah but it was discussed as if it was going to cause the new crash of the gaming industry, 1983 all over again...I think it's rather the tree hiding the forest to be honest... and even if you use the argument that they are prodding the terrain to include more lootboxes in single player games in the future... well Dead Space 3 already covered that ground

Brandon Derive I'm not in charge of the marketing team... but I agree that this is slightly retarded

Calimero Hœnir Wait for CODWW2, that's probably the worst.

That's the point, he put a bit much of his soul into that ring

Bro he says it so much it's fucking hilarious

Dat Boi Dovahkiin i was wondering why they where gone i only got the game and i though i killed the merchant even after i gave me the tutorial for the loot box's

Well he sort of said it, without the excessive late game grinding, crashing and microtransactions an 8. I dont know about crashing never had such issues since launch with it but the other two have since been fixed or removed. I think the game with all its dlc defi is around an 8-9 today. But then again it has its flaws of course.

I would say a solid 8/10 imo, great game like it's predecessor! If they didn't pull off that microtransactions stunt at first they would've got far better PR on release, but at least they got rid of the dumb system!

@Luis Martinez it's not complicated at all, it's similar to the Batman Arkham games and the recent Spiderman PS4 title from Insomniac! It's really fun and has diverse tactics and combos like most beat em up games!

Soulie I agree here, that was gold

ahahaha It has so much potential!

only reason I watched this review :-)

I got quickly bored of the first one and sold it, because it turned into what I hate most; a super-hero game. I was just slaughtering everyone, except for the occasional tough orc. Is this a problem they've fixed? I'm considering buying this or AC Odyssey. I loathe AC games, for the casual combat; but apparently it's been improved...enough? Combat looks janky to my eye, but at least the leveling means you can go into areas you shouldn't be and can get your arse kicked. Combat looks a lot smoother in this...but I also remember how overpowered you quickly became.

@@rocketassistedgoat1079 In Shadow of War you can tightly tweak the difficulty to how you want. I put it on the hardest difficulty, disabled saviors and even disabled some of the HUD elements (if you want you can even disable all quick time indicators of which button to press so archers will always kill you). I also like challenging games, and in this game, with the settings I used, boy oh boy did I ever die a LOT. Furthermore, every time an orc kills you they level up like 12 levels or something, so some missions become literally unplayable... At one point I was something like level 16, but the orcs I had to kill in one of the main missions were level 60-80 because they kept killing me and leveling up... Which meant that I had to go out and grind to level and every upgrade counts (gear and skills). It took me something like 300 hours to plow through this game, but I enjoyed every excruciating moment of it. One of the most challenging games I've ever played... And I could have tweaked the interface stuff even further had I wanted to make it EVEN HARDER, but I found that without the QTE indicators and minimap it was hopeless, I just wasn't good enough.

When you judge a game and say that its fun, please dont forget that book readers have a keen eye for inconcistencies and silly plot holes, and if you readed the books, you will be pissed by the huge disrespect to the Lore. I agree it is fun, but silly.

Zord Rage EA: Now hold my beer "Battlefront 2 Lootbox and microtransactions to progress your class level"

true.... EA massacred a bunch of my childhood games and devs T.T

I guess EA is still standing there saying "Hold my beer".

Coming 2017: EA's Doom Platinum Plus Edition, with day one BFG DLC and Argent D'Nur being blocked until you have enough Upgrade points, which can also be bought alongside randomly selected weapon and Praetor upgrades found in UAC "Weapon Container" loot boxes.

By the way it took less than 24 hours to crack the game and within 2 days someone figured out that you can edit the basic files to give yourself infinite of the micro-transaction currency.

Doom was amazing. So was the multiplayer suprisingly

Just bought the witcher 3 to see what I missed out on...Looks like I missed nothing.

Doom multiplayer has no microtransactions whatsoever, and it is actually so good and fun. Much better than CoD in my opinion. Sadly, maybe because of the major critics' negative reviews, not a lot of people are playing the multiplayer than the game deserves

Guys vote with your wallets, DO NOT buy games with MTs in them. Publishers and devs will take that as supporting the practice, and put these in more AAA games in the future. They will be harder to avoid and will ruin the industry.

Your comment is kind of odd since by the time you bought it market was removed.

The problem was the final act. It was a lot of grinding to get to try final cut scene and clearly not a game development decision. When it got patched, the sole reason for loot boxes seized to exist but in this game, you really don't need them because they just aren't built into the game and now after they have been removed, it's just a great game and in my opinon one of the best third person action games on the market.

@@jonathonreimer4886 I shamed one and he became “the unshamed” he was a badass

That's a very dumb comparison. You don't need to pay anything extra in this game to get anything essential. The vast majority of people actually don't pay anything extra and play through the game just fine.

Raidoton My point is that you pay for something you expect it to be complete. Video games are one of the few forms of entertainment that this practice seems to be ok these days. But is it really okay? This “pay to win” format mainly appeals to young kids, people with addictive personalities, hoarders or people with not much patience so prefer to cheat to progress (in my opinion). Shelling out more cash on a game you have just paid good money for clearly seems like they are taking advantage of us. That’s why I don’t bother with nonsense racketeering of this kind and don’t buy into it.

PierreVonStaines Not missing any content if you don’t buy micro transactions. So your comparison is still dumb. You’re acting as if there’s things you can’t get unless you use micro transactions. That’s not the case. They’re just timesavers. There is no pay to win here. Not to mention that these warchests and loot boxes can be bought using the in game currency. That’s called a market. They’re in open world games. Crazy concept, I know. Who would’ve ever thought that you could use in game money to hire followers and buy gear?

Micro transactions in games is like... buying cosmetic items for your car to make it look prettier.

His comparison is dumb, yes, but are we still going to sit here and say microtransactions are amazing and should stay in gaming? His intention is what you should follow, not his analogy Dudesters. Great game, Microtransactions need to die.

Darkness Prevails I keep seeing you everywhere. xp

Never expected to see you here. Love your channel!

Darkness Prevails what brings you here :D

Use the power of the Palantír!

WHAT?!??!?!?!

I also like how this guy said that making the character non dlc was a step in the good direction when the money was going to his family

The SilentCaay Channel you expect kids to understand text this long?

You dont seem to get that WE dont care if it sells a normal amount of copies. WE WANT MORE MONEY! but if putting micros in games doesnt get us extra money because ppl wont buy them , then why would we waste our time putting them in future games?

Corporate Commander - Because adding microtransactions costs basically nothing. As long as the game sells a normal amount of copies, it's like free money from the people willing to buy them. Just throwing some normal game content, XP boosts, in-game currency, etc in a box doesn't cost development resources.

The SilentCaay Channel it sucks that money hungry companies created this trap. Buy the game and you say its ok, dont buy the game and you are missing out on a great game. I hate companies that do this shit. This needs to stop

The SilentCaay Channel if a quality game sells well that encourages the devs/publisher to keep making quality games. Maybe next game WB will try to pull some (bigger) shit on us, but until then I won't stop an optional feature keep me from buying a good game.

Jokes on you because this game is still amazing

Yeah, I'm loosing sleep over it :/

If you buy the game they are already getting your 60 bucks. You willingly bought a contaminated game. Anything you pay for microtransactions is gravy to them.

Because they won't see you in their statistics it's a good game and buying it would motivate them to continue making games like it and if everyone bought the game and nobody bought any crates they would see that in their stats that people like the game but not many people buying crates and that's how change is made

Icepick614 No, they will just change the game more to incentivize more purchases of microtransactions. I don't care if the vanilla game is good, I personally, flat out, will never give my money to a company with business practices like that.

That's cool because I hate these rip off micro transactions! Ubi-shaft ruined Assassin's *GREED* Odyssey with that garbage. 🙄

Yeah he is a little boring and generic

@@chillmott 2 years later: i guess i agree with you, but hes not the worst character on the game 😅

300 hours? its a bit repetitive for that, I got about 30 hours in to it and was totally bored of it.

@@mikeyforester6221 nemesis system keeps it fresh

Dallasmed65 Nothing will beat it, nothing

+Dallasmed65 I agree. Though give it time my friend, they will fuck us eventually, they allways do...

Dallasmed65 Halo 3, 10 years old. Nuff said.

Your game also has to be good.

Dallasmed65 Agreed.

just play old games , i still have so much unplayed steam games

Copy Ninja. Its mostly the fucking community supporting this shit. They support games with microtransactions but they let games with free dlc and cheap prices die out. Honestly fucking sick community.

I too am losing interest in games. Have been for the past few years (even though I've been an avid gamer since the mid-80's). Seeing Bethesda kill two of my favourite RPG series was the final straw for me. Then there is the constant pure laziness of developers, releasing half-arsed games and "fixing" them later. DLC, most of which should already be in the fucking games in the first place. Greedy companies and idiotic fanboys who defend the outright dick moves of said companies. And still, they continue to take the piss while people throw money at any old pile of shite. It's become such a terrible industry.

Then you don't have that much passion for it.

Obviously they do. Otherwise it wouldn't affect them so much to feel this way. I'm in the same boat. Love games, I really do. it's probably the only thing I'm passionate about (with an almost fanatical mindset at times). For the past... well... nearly 30 years now. But the current direction, trends and practices of gaming companies (both developers AND publishers) has slowly but surely taken away most of the enjoyment and interest in the industry. Sure, there are still the odd game or two that I enjoy (for the most part anyhow). Overall, it's been increasingly-disappointing with each year that passes.

this game is great

One word, inflation.

@chaja95 Just got the definitive edition on Steam at 75% off.

I just bought it for 7$

NinjaCakeAssassin I can say it just fine. But I am tri-lingual so that might be why I can say Celebrimbor like a true nerd

American speaking people*

Praetor Since we are correcting people "American" is not a language

why can't Brits pronounce aluminum?? okay then

at this point i think the reviewers/lets players think it's a funny joke. i'm american and i have no issue pronouncing it. granted i'm a fantasy nerd but still

SPQRapid agreed boo

SPQRapid average game. not as good as the first one.

SPQRapid Dishonored is pretty good

Lasus Naturae Dishonored is excellent, especially a ghost/ no kill playthrough

Free riders was better

The climbing is better because it dissent exist, I can't take one more fall

The climbing is not better. This isn't even an opinion it's a fact

@@manwithballsonarm6775 it is

You can be a pirate aaarghh.

Yeah just pirate it dude

Juan Soriano Most of the games I play do not have microtransactions so you're full of shit. You work for WB?

If you're not gonna buy it either way, just pirate it. The online and store features are inaccessible that way, which makes the game way more fun.

Ray Hemminger youre missing out

what about the most recent Deus Ex?

The Killing Committee dude many single player games have micro transactios... The Batman games would let you buy “skins” to use in game.... that’s a micro transaction. Just because this game has a shortcut in it’s in-game menus doesn’t mean it’s the first to do it lol

The Killing Committee Yeah, I work at a high school and the kids now don’t even remember a time before loot boxes and micro transactions. They think it’s normal now, which is a sad thing to see. They all use mommy and daddy’s credit cards, so they don’t care. By the time they graduate and have to buy their own shit, they will already be used to it. Grooming indeed.

The Killing Committee calm down ya nerd just dont buy it

Maybe other games but not this one. The implemented them perfectly. You can completely ignore them and never need them.

It'z ya boi the mini non official are much appreciated for us subscribers that subscribed for the reviews. There really nice for getting by the couple week pass before an official one comes out

hes not tho

Royce H he is tho

Yeah he used to pump out more Reviews Than nowadays. Its sad.

The8347135 For?

Mentioning loot boxes and not giving it a perfect 10 score

He almost never gives things a 10

Ethan Stadel Witcher 3 and Xcom 2 became 10s after their expansions released if I remember correctly

Actually it doesn’t it’s a fun game and the micro transactions were avoidable there’s never a time in the game where it was ever so hard that i resorted to the market.

Graphical downgrade? It looked at least 5x better

The Gray Owl exactly idk wtf this guys talking about lol

MCKhanstent games great lol

Nah man, you think the game is great. Big difference. I like Joe's reviews because he doesn't accept bullshit in his games. Exactly like me. He also bought the game for review purposes. Since I won't be reviewing it for my 2.8mil subscribers anytime soon, I see no need to support this microtransaction laden trash.

MCKhanstent look ok. You can have your own opinion, and while I agree that the micro transactions can go fuck themselves, I will still buy the game because I loved shadow of Mordor but I will just completely ignore the market, because fuck it

Corporate CONmander would be better

The funniest/saddest thing is that he's barely satire anymore >_>

Not exactly, but the name Borgu Giggles does come to mind.

I had a guy gibbu the flogger or sth he just waved his head around

Lol

Game Dominator99 Like TOG's Feldûsh Giggles then.

Yeah I guess so...

Mr. EA.

Julian Lak underrated comment

Shekels Goldstien oy vey

War-nor the brother.

I can confirm that. 40 hours on PS 4, not even 1 crash.

130 hours on Xbox 1 with no crashes.
