Middle Earth Shadow of War

I loved the first game and have been looking forward to picking up the new game when it is released (loot crate crap aside) but have just watched this video

the tiresome, female badazz character makes an appearance as always. F~~~ that s~~~ and thanks to seeing that video I have saved myself £40

I’ve been hearing about a lot of other sleazy bulls~~~ with this game. Like it’s basically microtransaction pay to win and the publisher is ghoulishly cashing in on the death of one of the developers pretending to be “charity”.

Save your money.

yeah there is a loot box levelling up system on the cards but I was going to wait for the reviews to see if they were game breaking or not….If I have to spend a little bit longer levelling up rather than buying some rip off box, I would have put up with it (not that I will ever pay for microtransactions anyway)

but the girl power s~~~ has turned me off completely

most of my disposable income goes on games and the developers/publishers are pushing away their most lucrative customers….same old s~~~ with entertainment companies in the West

I didn’t enjoy the first game. The story was okay but it felt like a preteen fan fiction to me. As for the game play, it was good but nothing unique. I felt like I was playing Assassin’s Creed: Middle Earth instead of something entirely new. The Nemesis system was a nice touch in how the Orcs would rise in rank and all but I was a bit disappointed to see how quickly they were replaced after I’d captured every single one of them. In the end, it was just another way to force you to grind.

Despite my feelings about the first game, I was still willing to give this one a shot. After seeing this content and learning about the micro-transactions, I’ll wait until the GOTY version (which there will be one) is on sale for $20-$30. Thanks for sharing!

The sleezy loot crate bulls~~~ was enough to call it a PASS for me.
