what's /v/ take on this game ?
i really want to buy it, it looks a fucking masterpiece
repetitive batman combat. That's the entire game.
>>343948753
Nemesis system was fun. Everything else was stolen from better games or outright shit
The combat is so retardedly easy you can turn off your monitor and still fucking win
>Masterpiece
VERY far from it, the gameplay is mostly generic
Looking past the generic gameplay, it does have a beautifully designed (although painfully repetitive) world. And the game's strongest and most memorable feature is the nemesis mechanic, where there are Orcs who rise through the ranks and each have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Get this game yesterday, because it was decently priced on sale.
(or pirate it)

Here's my take on this:

>>343948930
This. What are some games with really fun combat gameplay? Bonus points if it's multiplayer.
is the goty edition selling for $5 yet?
i feel like it would be worth getting if its around that much
>>343949326
Sites like G2A will have it around that price.
>>343949027
shut the fuck up faggot..
the combat is good, more visceral than the one in arkham asylum (which it borrows heavily from). The story is the weakest part, especially the ending, its cliche, but the revenge plot gives enough will to kill.
tldr
don't listen to this faggot, hes a weaaboo.
The combat and nemesis system is great.
The story is ok
Solid game, gets too easy when you level up. Game is a 10/10 for me when i...
-Do a no death run, suddenly those No last chance trait on orcs means something.
-Would let 10 days pass after every mission to buff up the orcs
-Would only allow myself to allocate 1 point in a trait when i killed 20 captains.
>Completely avoided the godlike talents and those cheese talents like 2 finishers.
I had some of the most intense fights in any vidya game doing this.
made the mistake of buying it around the time it came out. pretty boring. nemesis system was kinda cool. couldn't really recommend though. maybe for $5-10
bought it during the sale, it was good fun for 10$ but I'm at the second map now and dropped it cause it's too repetitive
>>343949297
lol this autist complains about an easy game when he has every upgrade near the end.
>>343949661
You can do the exact same thing at the start of the game
The only difference is that it'll take you longer to kill shit
>>343949661
No he's complaining about the combat mechanics being completely retarded.
You're the autist.
>>343949472
>the combat is good

>>343949472
>Good combat
Does anyone have the video that shows that it feels like you're doing really well but its actually really shallow. easy, with a skill cap that would make a 6 year old yawn.
You can't lose unless you're retarded.
>>343948753
I hope you like killing orcs.
I bought it at launch and felt like I got my moneys worth. Repetitive combat and game mechanics ripped from other games but they don't feel like a cheap knock-offs. Very well made game. Nemesis system is fun but gets boring after a while.
Would recommend for $20 or lower.
One thing i noticed is that if you let orcs fight each other by passing time. The identified ones seem to always beat the blackened out orcs 90% of the time. Kinda wish it was more random
>>343949297
do you think i'm going to listen to some faggot that thinks that he is "hardcore" just because he likes dark souls ?
>>343950312
Do you think I give a shit about what you do or don't do?
Difficulty curve in this game reminds me of the one in Phantom Pain. Starts off kind of challenging, but quickly loses all challenge as you unlock more things. You have to limit yourself to create any sort of challenge.
Both games desperately needed a Hard difficulty.
its no masterpiece, there is almost nothing to do but kill orcs, the nemesis system is pretty cool though, yet the combat is even worse than Arkham, completely braindead. The world is okay, pretty disappointing, there is a lot they could have done with mordor but they chose the "well its empty cause its Mordor" route. The story is terrible but you'll be too busy killing orcs en masse to care.
It is surprisingly a fun game though and definitely worth picking up if you can get it cheap
>>343949848
>longer to kill shit
Oh OH you mean.... wow you mean you have to fight for longer. attack different shit, not get hit? Wow! you mean you actually have to play the game? holy fuck dude.
>>343950146
i couldn't imagine getting $60 worth out of this game. do you have a specific fetish for repetition coupled with virtual orc violence? how many hundreds of hours are we talking?
>>343950012
This is the problem with this board. all of you have no lives, so you become so good at these games that all of them becomes easy, The game is a presentation of the developers ideas. not every game needs a fucking skill cap that every autistic faggot on /v/ can have a hard time. because '' muh hard vidya''. I'm sorry that this is the only thing that you pathetic faggots are good at. must be shitty.
About a weekends worth of gaming for me and I haven't picked it back up since. Glad I got it when it was heavily discounted
>>343949297
This guy was retarded. Could have been 5 minutes of him being non autistic, but instead its 16 Minutes of
"Oh just let me left click. Im so funny right guys?!?!?!?"
>>343950730
So you haven't played the game?
>>343950604
Yes that's exactly what I meant you shit eating mong
>>343950730
>N-no! You're doing it all wrong! You're supposed to be SHIT so the game feels fun!
I'm gonna save you about a week's worth of critical thinking and give you the conclusion you're stumbling toward: If you have to be bad at video games to enjoy a video game, it is not a good video game.
>>343948930
batman combat is awesome and it inspired an entire genre of 3D beat-em-ups
>>343948753
picked it up on sale looking for a chill game to play
combat is as just your standard bamham combat but the variety of using bows/branding/stealth/executions makes it pretty fun and varied. Nemesis system is also very fun and creates some unique situations. Played about 11 hours of it and am about 45% completed but i haven't been rushing story missions, just been doing side content mostly. I would buy it on sale for sure.
>>343950797
Have thought about the fact that he might have just been in the middle of an argument with some of this viewers saying this is a great game with deep or combat or something like that? Because it certainly sounds like it.
>>343950928
''Critical thinking''Jesus, because i will reward myself autism points when i beat a hard game. I said that in some games, the challenge doesn't matter at all. this is one of those games retard
.
>>343950943
>batman combat is awesome
It's probably the most bottom of the barrel you can be in terms of combat systems, it's incredibly mindless and easy, zero complexity or depth to the mechanics themselves, it's crazy that the AC games, Batman and this game are considered good.
>>343951204
Go play your action sequence games and enjoy your watered down b movie writing instead of shitting up /v/ faggot
>>343948753
Shit game. Without it's lousy mechanic of ranking up enemies (which will only affect you if you die in easy AC style combat games) the game has nothing. No story, no unique missions. Nothing.
So the PS3/360 versions that DONT come with that mechanic might be some of the most shallow games ever made unless they got a special storyline just for those versions.
Play this game if you want a bad Batman game that is SORT of set in the LotR universe where you do nothing and then get a few cameos to remind you that yes, this is supposed to be a LotR game.
>>343951204
>in same games the challenge doesn't matter

Steam is telling me 26 hours.
I don't really equate value proposition with the amount the amount of hours I put into it but rather if I enjoy putting my time into it and I did. Personally, I don't mind spending ~$50 for a few hours of fun.
>>343951398
>incredibly mindless and easy
what's your best combo ?
The game itself is kind of mediocre. The bosses are so-so. Creating orc sleeper agents that usurp their military is phenomenal. It's a shame Monolith isn't making a sequel.
>>343952156
They aren't? I could have sworn i heard something a few months ago saying they were doing something with making one
>>343951398
there is no batter way of melee fighting multiple enemies at once than the freeflow system
>>343951831
I'm talking about all the non-batman games that use the batman combat system
>>343951964
>he plays games for the cinematic experience
That's what it means to me
>>343952646
Technically it's the assassin's creed combat system but I usually just call it cancer combat.
>>343953183
Nope. Assassin's Creed 1 had terrible combat that was nothing like Bamham combat, and Batman AA came out before Assassins Creed II
>>343952505
If they are it's totally under wraps. Their website is laughably out of date, but their twitter is active.
I just played through Arkham Knight on hard, and the fighting was actually compelling with a real necessity for player skill and attentiveness. You actually needed to use all your gadgets well in order to have a good time. Beat Mordor a few weeks ago and the combat always boils down to sniping problem orcs, branding a few if you feel like it, and then abusing the weaknesses of the leaders until eventually you can brand/kill them. There's no way to make it more challenging other than just trying to melee everything, but that's more of an exercise in tedium. I still liked the game, I like these kinds of games, but I'm not going to pretend that the combat was "good". It was serviceable.
It's better than Batman, that's for sure. It's mostly nothing but combat since you're basically the spirit of vengeance in the middle of fucking Mordor.
You can't just mash buttons and win, despite what /v/ claims, and that's because they haven't played the game. Maneuverability is extremely important, as if you get surrounded by too many Orcs, you're dead.
If you like Orcs, you'll have a blast.
>>343953576
Asscreed 1 had an emphasis on counter attacks and not mindlessly spamming normals, with some extra tools thrown in. It started this, Asylum just took it in a natural direction that felt better.
Here is what happens
Super elite player:
>never lets nemesis win
>nemesis bosses never level up
>pathetic encounters
Average player
>sometimes nemesis wins
>get stronger and more challenging
>fairly good fights
Poor player
>Nemesis become gods and scare player away
>has to be creative to defeat them or hope they get some weakness they can exploit
>usually gives up playing after a while
>>343948753
The boss system is amazing, if you dont finish them off they will come back stronger and with scars. So if you light them on fire they actually come back scorched. I loved it
>>343953856
>orc has immune to melee, immune to stealth and immune to ranged
Literally the only way to kill them is to hope your branded orcs can smack him or lure him near a fire barrel and blow it up.
>>343949325
Bayo2
>>343949848
in the video he barely has any ranged attacking him and only 1 or 2 types of foot soldiers, not exactly cream of the crop
>>343954031
Wow someone here actually knows what they're talking about. Bravo, anon.
>>343954031
asscreed was completely broken by its over-emphasis on counter attacks. You could not even be attacked by two enemies at once, let alone 3 like in batman, and striking them normally was completely pointless in comparison to countering them.
You could go to the enemy camp and simply go through every single crusader in the city just by doing the killer-counter-attacks on them one-by-one, as 30 of their buddies stood on the sidelines and waited their turn. Batman at least has a variety of enemies that are immune to counter attacks, and counters are more meant as a form of self-defense than as a way to kill the enemy
>>343950943
are you 9?
