I've only recently developed any interest in this game, seeing that it's a Assassin's Creed/Dragon Age hybrid developed by Monolith, but now I'm seeing via Game Informer that they have one of the lead writers/designers of Red Dead Redemption writing it. Anyone else have any interest in this?
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
Game » consists of 15 releases. Released Sep 30, 2014
An open-world action-adventure game by Monolith, set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
Excitement for this game?
I have some interest. Excitement would be too strong a word, but I am looking forward to it with a fairly open mind.
I think the concept for it is awesome and it looks neat, but I'm not jumping up and down in excitement.
Nothing interesting happened between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. I trust that this game will accurately capture that.
I've had my eye on it for some time. Will probably be a day one purchase for me. The videos they have out make it look like it might be pretty good. But what they are saying the game will have seems pretty impossible to pull off and have it work 100% as they advertised it. But we shall see.
I'm very interested to see how it turns out. Cautiously optimistic would best describe my disposition towards it.
Intrigued, but not overly interested. Also - the protagonist looks like he suffers from down syndrome in the last trailer I've watched. The human characters are pretty much at the bottom of the uncanny valley currently. Other than that, the promises in regards to its dynamic and emergent campaign is what I'm excited for the most.
Assuming they make good on the systems they're touting, I could see this game being very interesting. If not... this might be the new high watermark in terms of twisting the Lord of the Rings into terrible generic fantasy in order to make it fit a video game.
Not really. I'll wait for the reviews. The idea behind it is sound though, if they pull it off I'll happily buy it.
Not presently, no. I'd probably be paying more attention if it wasn't connected to LotR--a franchise I enjoy as films but nowhere else--but I'm sure the property is a huge draw for innumerable others. I'll give the game a fair hearing, I suppose.
I just see Assassins Creed when I look at it. Hopefully it distinguishes itself with all that crazy ai stuff they talked about in the preview. Something about it seemed off to me though.
Because there needs to be a 3rd game that can be described as assasssins creedy this year. Hope its good for those that want it but looks kinda meh, hope I am proved wrong
Looks interesting at least. I'm not completely buying the randomness they are selling with the whole hierarchy of orcs etc - at least in the way they are showing it off. I just don't see with the production values how it can stray from being either linear or repetitive too a degree. That's just based on a trailer so who knows.
The idea is cool though, so props for them for doing something interesting and different in an AAA title.
Cautiously optimistic would best describe what I feel as well. I can say for sure I will look at it when it comes out because it is one of about six games coming in teh next 12-16 months that seems to be doing something - at least - mildly interesting.
It looks very one-note to me. I would need to learn there's something more to the game than stabbing orcs with swords for revenge before I would even consider purchasing without a steep discount.
I plan on picking it up. It interests me enough to where I think I would enjoy it. It seems to have also been somehwat praised during E3 as in lot's of people said "Hey, this actually looks like it's a fun game."
I'm interested in it but other than the Nemesis system I don't actually know much about the game. Like is it open world or levels, how big is it ect
The game might be good but I just couldn't care less about LOTR or The Hobbit so it's difficult for me to get excited about this game. I'm one of those weird people that weigh setting and storytelling really high in games and since this is based on something I just don't find interesting at all... It's going to take a lot to make me excited for this.
