If they asked me: how you are this game? I would answer that it was a real, angry, with cutting off Uruks (and not only) heads, the pure, uncomplicated action, with the pumping and abilities of which you use, without stupid, boring and side quests (a la, go and go), with familiar characters from books and films, the open world (not without jambs). This is Bats from Monolith and the action of the year! But about everything in order. And so, we will stop.
What, Monolith was doing all the time after the release of f.E.A.R 2? Helped Day 1 Studios in development f.E.A.R 3, and made quite passing Gothham City Impostors and Guardians of Middle Earth. All "this" is sad, against the background of their past games. I was even more upset after a message in 2011, when George Brussard published on his twitter page that Warner Bros. IE reduces employees in its studios, including Monolith. It is sad that the studio, with such a rich history, is reduced. Two years have passed and in August 2013 appears, hope for a new AAA project project. And already in November, an official announcement and … here it begins to emerge my first (and not the last) opinion of this game.
The first opinion. I was glad that the studio finally took up something serious, and even in the Universe of Tolkien, and not for the budget heresy. But, immediately forgot about its existence. In January 2014, I looked at the gameplay trailer, I saw a parkour a la Assassin’s Creed, the combat system as in Batman Arkham, also showed an incomprehensible at that time for me, the Nemesis system. At that time I thought that again they did not understand that. I began to doubt very much whether they will succeed? And again I forgot, but already before the release of the game.
The second opinion. The game out was marked, reviews in the spirit of 9.5 out of 10 or 4.5 out of 5 and so on. I somehow did not believe it right away, in such good grades. He began to look for answers. And then, as the “one who should not be called”, he began to stream the game. I looked at the first 2 hours and “thought” (rather imposed) that: yes, the game is not very, the world is not like in GTA, assassins are better and so on. I thought: how up, there will be no normal game in the Middle -earth?! There is so much that can be done. Then I looked at an hour and somehow began to penetrate the combat system, and since the person “who should not be called” does not know how to play, I went to YouTube to look for a normal, not crookedly person. Found it quickly and ..
The third opinion…. after 47 minutes I bought the shadows of Mordor. Starting to play at 22 pm, I woke up at 8 in the morning. It was like F.E.A.P., in the distant 2006 when the game dragged me for many hours. Everything is, thanks to its brutal, game process. Each skill that I opened, I always used (and not like in Bats or AS). Runes for weapons, which are given for the killings of the captains and leaders of the Uruks, pumping and changing the appearance of the weapons itself for the passage of special missions, collecting artifacts and itildin, survival tests (collection of grass of various) and hunting trials that begin with shooting spider and ending with giant kraugg. + Beautiful cg videos pleased the eye.
In general, for me-this was one large location with recognizable black gates with fangs (as in films), a bunch of various models of Uruks, pumping, constant action, parkor, plot tasks (the same throat of the Kholomi) and … and … something was not enough, but I didn’t want to play less from this. At this moment, I put the game on SG 9 out of 10 or commendable. But most importantly, I did not expect that the game would drag me like that and like it. And then, my opinion only strengthened and changed, for the better.
Here is my mini story. Somehow walking around the Udun expanses, he noticed, the captain and wanted to sew. I did not know his weaknesses, like the strengths, and then I did not want to find out then, the plot went to the mission. I have to climb on some ruins and jump on top of it with a blow. He was invulnerable to secretive attacks, a fight began. I was still weak pumped, so I had to tinker, and then the Uruks came running and another captain. Having dealt with the first, he set about the second, but it was not there. Two more came running, and with them there are still a bunch of Uruks. I thought to retire from the board where there are three strong captains, but no: three more will now fall from my hand (I said to myself)! The fierce action began, where the heads of the Uruks flew in all directions, and “this is Sparta!"(Those who are in the subject) finishing only so. And when the head flew off the last captain, another one came, but with a surge of adrenaline in the blood due to such a battle, I barely noticed and drove it into two scores. And then he could barely get away from there, because he entered the rage.
The opinion is fourth and final. When I found out that there is another big location, I was delighted. The second location is the coast of Nurn, a beautiful place with a plentiful amount of grass and trees. Here, finally, they give me the ability of the "stigma" and finally the Nemesis system begins to work in full force. You can brand any Uruk, be it a captain or a leader. The opportunity opens up to push their captains into the leaders or slip the leaders of their captains to other leaders, also stigmatize the guards of the leaders in order to come to the aid of you at the decisive hour, and not to him. You can also set your leaders on enemy leaders. The system is understandable and interesting + you can threaten the leader and, after its murder, get (if you do everything right) the legendary rune. And the rapid stigma of the enemy helps with battle, then it becomes a little easier to fight with a drop of enemy.
Even in Nurne, there are my favorite hunting missions with Dvorf Torvin. Subordinate Karagora or more what a little animal is interesting. In general, the complexity of the battle with ordinary Uruks rises, more opponents with shields or berserkers. And captains and leaders can generally be wild! The captains of my crossbows from their crossbows several times. And every second with poisoning swords or with crossbows that shoot explosive arrows. In general: to pass, the second part of this game, even more interesting.
Now, about the cardboard open world and t. D. Yes, the world does not live in itself, but many who do not like it do not understand that the game about another. This game is about gameplay, about Rubilovo and the crushing of Uruks, about pushing their captains to the top. Yes, it was sometimes sad for me when he stopped looking at the world and he does not reveal how the orcs live, where and how they eat, where they sleep, train, and t. D. Instead, they have strictly defined routes or sitting by the fire with subsequent beat of the sword against the wall. Well, let. But if this game will hook you like me, then to tear you away from the game until you pass it, it will be very, very difficult.
A few words I will silence about graphics and sound https://www.game-roulette.info/ accompaniment. There are enough polygons, the textures on the ultras will score your entire video memory and still ask, the coverage of the norms, there are dynamic shadows (unlike the fucking Henryl 3, I hate this engine), for normal smoothing you will need the second 780 Ti or 290X. The sound is very good, what else to say 🙂
I did not find here, something that annoyed me, and in new games this is full. In any case, this is my opinion, I do not impose it on anyone. And this year, the AAA of the AAA did not ask, there are no them. I’m waiting for the DLC and most likely the second part.
P.WITH. It turned out a half-willation, a half-sight.
P.P.WITH. I collected all Achivka and for the first time, for a lot of time I liked to collect them! They are also light. And the platinum on PS3/4 is the most to knock out.
P.P.P.WITH. Although there is what annoys me – these are the last chances. On the keyboard, to fulfill the sweet soul, but on the gamepad, and even from the PS3 is hard. A very slowly circle goes to the center of the circle, and on Dualshock it can also be forgotten where the buttons are a and x. Why in modern games at a PC, do not make two sets of icons of buttons?
The best comments
Just a binge has passed. I haven’t found it on me for a long time! Especially if you consider that I can not stand the trilogy about Frodo.
The opportunity to put his favorite on the throne of the leader, this is just something! It is only a pity that this opportunity is given too late when the meaning is not particularly ..
Well, optimization at the height. In short, I am satisfied like a hippo!
Rather, it flies quickly. 🙂 The main plot is short, but who needs it when you can poison the orcs on each other and look.
After the passage, mixed feelings remained, it seems that the game is monotonous, tedious, but a huge plus is Nemesis and the old, but this is still the best combat system that migrated from Betman. It is a pity you can’t re -harden the game, already completely pumped. IMHO Hello Diablle.
Too many commas. It’s difficult to read 🙂
And so – yes, the toy is great!
I’m talking about commas, not about the world, if that.
In fact, with commas, everything is always simple – subordinate, compound, homogeneous and participles that stand out almost always, at least purely intonationally. You just need to think about the meaning of the sentence, or read it in a ear, expressively. If everything is very bad, break the complex into simple. Although whose cow would mumble ..
I myself would not mind playing such a thing, but. Games Workshop what the hell, why do we need mobile projects? Where is the single aaa game?
A game where you can promote your favorite orcs on a career ladder, but this is my dream number, in my opinion 1849 or 1856, it doesn’t matter, it is important that I like the Mediterranean Orcs, like everyone except the Vakhovskys, but not really. This would be about Vakhu, yes, I would eat with boring locations and with the flat world for a sweet soul, it will be a dream number 1863.
Monolith can make gameplay games, without distracting, unnecessary glasses. And I have an opinion that in 2011 the heads of those who made Gotham City Impostors and Guardians of Middle Earth flew, but the old guard remained and washed down by the new action. But the last time I went through the games, sooo long ago ((
Well, you can’t please everyone. So far, the rights to the publication of games on Lotr owned EA, she managed to hung up both “boils” and RTS in this universe. True, Lotr Conquest turned out to be weak, but worked out his money. However, I do not like “boils” with shooting and other special effects, not mine.
Just not mine.
Therefore, when the rights were replaced by the owner, I realized that nothing interesting, for now, will not wait.
And for sure. The game, of course, turned out to be relatively beautiful. But, uninteresting. Not what I expected. From such a promoted brand.
There is no plot, and on the main events of the film-film, it does not affect.
Therefore, who is interested – let them play. And I’ll go further to wander in Lotro.
Because the outfits make games on a PC under the boxing model and the like, tobiz with Xinput technology. Smile off. And Sony’s gamepads work on PC like old gamepads, Tobizh with BINPUT technology. If you reassure you, then Sima and fighting sport are always done for both types of gamepads
This is one of many stories. She happened at the beginning of the passage and I was not ready for such a Zalikhi action. That’s why I remembered better than anyone else.
My opinion is tedious and boring. There is no plot, locations once or twice and were dedicated, there is no variety. The visual part is cool, I do not argue. And the orcs came out very charismatic. Well, in general, I was waiting for more, and it was possible to make it better.
Weakness … I am immediately with five. I did not win, really, and then I did not win again. But I just did not go through the plot at all, I didn’t even have a second set of skills, so I say goodbye)
Yes, it was sometimes sad for me when I stopped looking at the world and he does not reveal how the orcs live,
