Reality vs Adventure Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Let's start this off with some Caragor Riding...OK Enough. I am a huge fan of the movie series. I'm lost where to start in this series but started with jumping straight into Shadow of Mordor. This music helps me focus...Focus on your limbs and blood. You think you live in a land of kings and queens? You honor all absolute power? Then why the fuck do you fight Sauron? My beast...I love you. Caragor Riding....My beauty. Fight with me.

Reality vs Adventure Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 My beast, oh my beast...Attack!!!! I control you...I need to brainwash orcs to build an army. I need to brainwash brainwash brainwash brainwash brainwash brainwash. To build an army. They are savages, so brainwash them and let them die... Is this morally right?

Crazycrab Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I hated this game. The stealth detection is a total joke, your way to overpowered, the main character has about as much personality as a block of cheese, the story is instantly forgettable and almost none of the iconic locations from the books or movies are included.

Empire Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Talion may spend the game hunting the sociopathic servants of Sauron, but the player cannot immerse himself among so many orcs, uruks and trolls without appreciating everything about them: their aesthetic, their manner, and, yes, even their anti-social personalities. killamch89 and Reality vs Adventure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree; the main character, NPC's, story is all a bit cliche. But for me it's a change of pace with an enjoyable consolidated map, stealth opportunities, and video gamish graphics ironically is what I'm enjoying right now. It's a bit of a break from the intensity of other games. I'm enjoying the fighting and riding the Caragor. I've only completed half the storyline and it's just one of those fun quick plays. There's a lot I can criticize, like the block of cheese character. I'm just waiting for every female NPC to just throw themselves on their knees for the main character as that's what is typical in this fantasyland of a hero protagonist. It's a strange refreshing corny change of pace. lol If that makes sense. But riding around the Caragor with the music playing just pumps me up and I ride around and kill everybody. I think some of the abilities are fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I haven't played any of these though I did watch the lord of the rings way back but I didn't even know we already had video games made on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 The thing I loved about this game is the nemesis system - it's honestly underrated. There are other aspects of the game that aren't that great but the nemesis system is so unique. I'd love to see that implemented in more games - it means that even if a weak character defeats you, they become a boss you have to face in order to regain your items. It creates sub-plots in a somewhat straightforward story. Reality vs Adventure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I encounter them again, they remember me and taunt me. Kinda cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives the game a more organic feel as others are also trying to gain power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since you already fought them before you would already have the advantage of knowing their moves. But what if you get defeated by more than one weaker character so that means you have to fight each of them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you would have to fight them again as many times as it takes and every time you lose not only do they level up, but all of the orcs level up. It's possible the lower level ones off each other too fighting for position. So every time you die, it gets harder and harder to defeat them all.

That would be a really good challenge anytime you encounter a boss you had to pay extra focus to defeat them so you don't have to encounter a stronger version of them later on.

Scorpion Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Shadow of Mordor is an epic choice! The Caragor riding adds intensity. I love the blend of action and story! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
