Should you Buy Shadow of War in 2021? (Review)

Ойындар

Shadow of War in 2021. Does the sequel to Shadow of Mordor, hold up well in 2021? In this video I go over my experience with Shadow of War, the pros and cons of the game and determine whether Shadow of War is still worth buying in 2021. If you enjoyed the video or found it helpful in anyway I would really appreciate it if you would drop a like on the video and subscribe to the channel, and If you want to discuss or play co-op, feel free to join my discord server with the link below.

If they added it in say assassin's Creed and called it a nemesis system, instant lawsuit but you could have a system similar and call it something else and probably be okay... The issue though is the risk, because if a small indie team have a great idea for a game with a nemesis like system, they run the risk of WB suing them. Even if they are likely to win the case that is time, money and effort they can't afford.

    @@scalpingsnake no it isn't just the name. It isn't the copyright issue it's the PATENT on the technology. They outline how the nemesis system works and published the patent before the game was even released. There's a really good video on it that's worth watching. Basically any game that dynamically changes the enemies characteristics according to the player's actions is starting to tread dangerously close to the patent, which sucks. One of the few truly revolutionary action gameplay mechanics and it's owned by Warner Brothers.

That sucks though if it really goes that deep where if someone actually just does something similar they can get sued :/ I actually wonder though what would happen. I suppose if they can patent it in the first place they are likely to win a lawsuit but at the same time if the game 'copying' them changes the formula up enough maybe they could get away with it? Either way, the fact it can be patented at all just sucks. Especially for a game that clearly took inspiration from other games.

    I don't understand why Ubisoft haven't implemented the nemesis system into AC... imagine targets surviving your attempts, remembering and reacting accordingly. They could become more cautious of certain areas, use body doubles, hire more guards etc. Couple this with being able to be killed in a few hits would make a perfect AC game that is actually about Assassins... but I guess another hack and slash RPG is what we'll get instead.

    I loved many of the added features after the removal of the micro transactions. You can purchase epic and legendary traits for your captains with “in game money”. This made fight pits no longer the only means of doing that. You send captains into the garrison, and they will be there even when you start a new game. This can help ease a lot of the potential grind of shadow wars in another play through. The combination of these updates and the dlc helped to make Shadow of War the sequel it deserved to be.

I feel it’s particularly helpful for first playthroughs especially if they’re on a higher difficulty. I’ve had at least 3 playthroughs of this game and there were plenty of captains I hated having to erase from existence. Whether they were really powerful or I had built a love/hate relationship with. Personally I like the fact that captains from older playthroughs can now be brought into newer ones. You tend to grow attached to many of these uruks.

I also likke the visuals of Shadow of Mordor way more than Shadow of War so im curious as to what the theme will be in the possible next game.

    Even when there were micro transactions in the game, it did not effect anything in the game at all. There was no grind really. If you wanted gear, then go kill a captain and you’ll get gear. If you want a captain, then go recruit him. You can also get all of the micro transactions in the game easily and if you want then you can buy a box.

    I liked that we could buy upgrades for the Orcs. Now it seems very rare that when an Orc levels up, he gets a Fire or Poison or Cursed weapon/power-up like a band of Defenders or Archers or Berserkers or Ologs etc. I liked being able to buy a gang of Defenders or Archers or Berserkers or Ologs and applying them to a levelled-up Orc or Olog.

    The game wasn’t grindy until the end, where you hit a wall. I loved the game until that point and that completely turned me off. They turned down the grind since then, but to say the micro transactions didn’t affect the game at all is just wrong.

There’s consequences for dying and they improved greatly from shadow of Mordor. The body guard ability is my favorite. I’ve owned this game since it’s release. And every time I think I’m bored with it I simply increase the difficulty and suddenly I’m a noob again lol

    This is the only pure single player game on PS4 I've spent 100+ hours on and I'm still not bored of. The part that I really like is that sometimes you'll be at a point where you think "okay I think I've seen it all now" but then something completely different happens wether it's a kill animation or Orc response. Also Brutal is not the highest difficulty, Gravewalker is.

If you go into the advanced grphics options and turn off Motion Blur/AntiAliasing, it will also disable mouse acceleration (even though it doesn't say it). Tried tis out myself, and SoM plays so much better with KB/M now.

    Bloody amazing game, I for one enjoyed the story; it felt thrilling and immersing and it added flavor to the meat of the game, direction too. This was an AMAZING review, you touched on a lot of the details involving combat, the nemesis system, the idea of repetitiveness, the game being non-canon to the lore, and you went into depth and condensed it all in a nice smooth 12 minute video. If I had to suggest a few things, it would be to also talk about the online aspect of the game, near the endgame of Shadow of War, online conquest & pit fights play an integral part, so it was a little disappointing to not hear about that too much. Online Conquest in Shadow of War has a few hacked orcs with crazy abilities sleeping in the forts, however its a very minor problem (doesnt happen frequently) and they are being destroyed, HOWEVER I feel as though talking ab this would totally help people who are looking into getting this game simply because of the online/endgame. Regardless of suggestions, this was still a great review, and it's nice to see that people are still playing this phenomenal game in 2021, liked.

    Regarding the microtransactions, they were never required, you could buy orcs chest with ingame Mirian which were really easy to get thousands of really quickly. The Miriam orc chests despite giving you mostly normal orcs, also had chances to spawn legendary and epic orcs (which weren't even required to beat the game).
