Monolith's Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Haha, thanks, am enjoying it a lot so far, and yeah, it is a lot better for me with controller also at keeping those hit streaks alive!

Indeed, sometimes I'll even use both - like in FarCry3 I'll be on Kbm while on foot, then switch over to controller while in vehicle.

 

I don't know if anyone has seen this, but someone made a tribute to Dûsh after making him a warchief.

 

I like Celebrimbor's story, can't wait for the DLC to be released to play it.

 

Instead of a glimpse of previous events into celebrimbor's life I'd like an entire game/dlc to play as celebrimbor and experience his story.

 

dat name tho.

:funny:

 

The Bright Lord DLC

 

Well its a DLC so idk how much plot it will have. Quite honestly I see Celebrimbor's entire story being worthy of a full game, perhaps a prequel.

I hope it's long enough to cover it all, I was more interested in killing orcs until the game started to get more in depth with Celebrimbor's story.

@JonasBeckman, thanks for the update

 

God I so want to play this game by now, but I must wait for the new rig at christmas, don't want to play with PS3 graphics. Must... wait....

 

i can play med/high at 1920/1200 with dsr just fine which is way better than a ps3 lol

graphics IS NOT the priority for me over game play, i couldn't care less about wanting to play @ 4k on ultra graphics

i used to want to upgrade to the latest and greatest but graphics and resolution i don't care about as long as a game is FUN

 

this game gets super boring half way through

 

Realy? I thought the excact opoosite. The new landscape and the branding ability gave me a huge boost in gameplay. I just loved finding warchiefs with Bodyguards and luring them in huge traps ^^

 

The ending was pretty lackluster. That's my only issue with it.

 

All I'd want to have is high/ultra graphics at 60fps, for now, and my rig won't do that
Better save it for some other time, when the extra content is around, bugs have been reduced, and I can enjoy what the engine has to offer.

 

i suppose at the end of the day its each to their own

also 40fps is my aim, 35 at bare minimum .. my eyes aren't brilliant anyway and unless the game engine stutters like mad i cant tell the diff between 40 and 60fps

guess im lucky in a way but unlucky in another lol oh well

 

I started a second playthrough. It took a lot less time to do the missions now that I know all the mechanics and environmental tricks etc. Also I failed a few mission on my first time through because I wasn't entirely sure of the mission parameters. I always make sure I complete the optional objectives too which means you don't have to do so many of those side missions with freeing slaves ( which constantly generate ).

I am up to the last mission of the first area and have done all side missions and have only played for about 10 hours.

 

@EpicLoss

The moment you take a high end GPU like GTX960 or something newer, you'll kick yourself saying 'wtf? I thought I can't see 60 yet here I can't live without 144' lol

As an owner of a 9400GT once, I used to preach 25fps is perfectly playable lololol. Man never wanna go back to those days ever again.

Also everything low with basically vegetation strands disabled, a 560Ti should get around 77-80fps at 1080p, tested on my living room rig

 

i cannot commit to low lol that's just wrong but still im not going to run out and buy a new vid card to get some extra fidelity until i absolutely have to and i know that time is coming

 

Just want to add some input about performance:
I'm using a 660Ti and my frames are not grand. The game seems pretty processor intensive due to the number of NPCs. When I merely look in the direction of a fortress, my frames dip dramatically. My CPU is no longer overclocked, and I am quite certain that is the problem. It's an i7 920 @ 2.66 stock clock. So just keep in mind CPU power plays a large part of performance for this game as well.

I'm also running at 1920x1200.

EDIT: Fantaskref, just saw your rig in your sidebar. You aren't comfortable playing the game with that setup at 1080?!?! Your performance would crush mine. But I guess if you're getting a new rig.... want to throw that rig my way?
