I loved the first one and the potential in that setting is off the charts. They do this well and you can make loads of these games. Hopefully they nail it
It really does feel like one of those games that can do a Mass Effect/Assassins Creed/Uncharted... great first game, amazing sequel type stuff. The basis was there for something special... really hope they capitalize on it.
They've updated Shadow of Mordor now to include the Nemesis forge. Which lets you do just events to change your nemesis/most loyal follower and they'll be imported into shadow of war.
Shadow of Mordor was good, but I think i completed it after a 6/7 hours (the main story line at least). Didn't feel like I was getting my money's worth although the few hours I did play it was great.
