It seems like the game is going to revolve around you staging some kind of orc civil war, but I REALLY hope you get to leave Mordor this time. The trailer seemed to show a lot of stuff outside Mordor so it'd be weird if that wasn't the case.

This sounds cool. When I saw the trailer I was kinda expecting it to be an RTS with a nemesis system put in

ooooooooo yeaaaahhh
The 1st one was fun and good, nemesis system is cool. End game you become too powerful, and some more/newer enemies would have been good. After killing my longtime rival there wasn't much challenge left. Last boss was lame... pretty much all the things everyone has mentioned. Looking forward to the new one and will likely get it (on sale).

count grainwad becomes your nemesis bc you dont feel like trekking across two warring kingdoms to shake down his peasants for taxes

It comes out way sooner than I expected- August 22.

Also they showed off the super expensive edition of the game and revealed the bulk of the overworld map:

Looks like a lot more environment variety this time, thankfully.

Democracy is like a tambourine - not everyone can be trusted with it.


Ill probably play and like this one too but count me in with wanting the nemesis system in just about any other setting.

The video is really heavily scripted but hopefully the actual game lives up to the hype.

I really want to be able to lead a small army of orcs against an enemy army, Mount & Blade style. I hope the faction battles aren't all just you and four guys vs. whatever captain and his four guys, or something...

I'm glad this came true, and also that orcs seem to build up their strength, attributes, history etc on their own without having to kill the player, which was something I hated in the first game.

Part of me wants to replay Shadow of Mordor before the sequel launches but there's just too many games to play as it is... oh well.

My gut tells me that Shadow of War will probably be more fun if you haven't played the first one recently. It's definitely not gonna be the kind of game where they expect you to have played it.

It looks like they're using Arkham's combat style again. I dug that butb I hope they evolve it like Arkham series did

I'm not too crazy about how the player seems to be one-hit cinematic killing all those enemies at the end, seems kind of stale... other than that, the expanded Nemesis and fortress stuff seems great, and I like that there's actual different armor/weapons this time.

There's no way the game actually works like that, the whole thing was scripted to look cool

hi they were using a debug mode that let them use the instant kill from combos. that's why it said "execution" on the screen the whole time
