Shadow of War is UNBELIEVABLY Brutal

[@connorbrink7053]

Shadow of war is literally a game you can finish, forget about and still love a month later rushing through story and collecting and killing orcs

[@relightingbolt2976]

That’s exactly what I did

[@MrIloveyouAli]

No one finished this. The moment the story missions made me grind the shit side castle things it was all over.

[@LaughingMask257]

This game is awesome! It’s so brutal and really drives a sense of victory by any cost.

[@nahimgood3165]

Especially in brutal mode. It’s one hit kill for you and for the orcs so it’s difficult but sooo worth it

[@ArcaneAnouki]

Its so easy and satisfying to immerse yourself in the "grit your teeth and try harder" dynamic

[@Klnkykoala]

I love this game, grew up on LoTR and the hobbit/pokemon, so I really just fit in here. The only problem I have with the game is the artificial difficulty at times being getting ganked trying to kill a captain but there's also anywhere from 3 to 40 orcs on you at once

[@GingeryGinger]

@@Klnkykoala orcs are good once you get a bit more understanding

[@ericcadman1329]

Pro tip: If you need healing during a fight, any orcs you've dominated can have their head popped to heal you, and if you socket a [green] gem into your sword or dagger it will heal you on each attack (Brutalize attacks will heal you to full since each stab is counted)

[@epiphany8429]

Not to mention prestige levels which can add to your heal level per each kill.

[@hannaogrodnik9607]

How do you grab onto orcs for longer?

[@ericcadman1329]

@@hannaogrodnik9607 you can only stab so many times on a captain, but as long as you're not hit while grappling an underling orc you can shiv them to death

[@zearcjustice7837]

when u need heal swap to green gem do brutal then swap back to red for damage

[@WlatPziupp]

@@zearcjustice7837 I started doing this and the tedium took much of the fun out. Swapping things to minmax when I needed it to win a fight felt really cool, I just took the swapping way too far

[@kal-ide6461]

This brings back memories of ishmòz the agoniser.....he was my favourite and whilst in the middle of battle I'd always hear "well whatddya think of this" and it'd bring warmth to my soul...I miss him everyday

[@cole893]

Everybody who plays this game has that “one orc”. Mine was a rather chunky troll named “Ar-Baruk the Gorger”. He was my best friend and even came back to work for me when I thought he died. It was hilarious when I would be fighting and just hear “yummy!” I leveled him up and leveled him up, but once he got too powerful, he betrayed me. I was gonna try to recruit him again, but my Graug stepped on him before I could. May the big boi rest in peace.

[@Shadow30.]

Glag or blag .......... (not shure we were at the begining/....is becose no idea how to translate this but somethink familiar to spit) i killed him like 3 times and some items i used to 50H that how much i liked them he was quote friendly like (quick translations) "heh its the last time then" or "and i thot we were special" i loved that dude unfortnle it was 1 act

[@wortux5964]

It was so fun, I had a pirate orc and he would always sing while i walk through Mordor and would always save me from death, he was such a good orc. (He is alive)

[@dragon28394]

The best thing happened to me while playing this game was when my nemesis from the first game came back

[@epiphany8429]

I have an orc called "Bagga Flame of War". He has zero weaknesses and is immune to literally everything. Because I often play online, I have like 7 copies of him.

[@Turret3030]

UNBELIEVABLY Brutal that you can't skip the intro scenes. they were great the the first 300 times but after a while I couldn't take it anymore.

[@Kevduit]

True, that takes forever, bad replayability

"Not a palantir in sight, just a bunch of orcs living in the moment!" god damn that was good xD

[@viralvidviewer962]

Hey Quick Tip! If you upgrade the shadow strike in the ranged tree, there is an upgrade called the shadow strike pull. If you use this, you call pull captains to you and fight them without having to worry about grunts. Well except the ones who are arrow-proof... but it is big help in overlord fights.

[@Evanz111]

Awesome that you’re revisiting Shadow of War! Would absolutely love you to cover the rogue-lite mode with the DLC, it’s actually fantastic and has a really great environment and movement system.

I wonder how Kev would react to the Yakuza series… a totally serious crime drama where in one of the games you can fight a monkey in an excavator…and have said monkey help you run a business so you can earn the ability to call in an orbital Lazer strike on your enemies

Oh almost forgot there are summons in this game and one of them consists of a bunch of fully grow Adults(who are also apart of a Yakuza Family) wearing Diapers and crying like a baby… and this isn’t the only time they showed up apparently… WELCOME TO THE YAKUZA SERIES… now I know I should’ve recommended this earlier as it was for free for PS+ users…

[@steveosk8s]

Now that the microtransactions are gone and they made the systems better to compensate, the game is actually really fun. The epilogue bits to earn the true ending are actually manageable now. The game also now throws great loot at you like candy. You are always getting new better gear or being able to upgrade your current stuff. I had 3 pieces of legendary gear before leaving the first area on my playthrough post changes. I also feel like the combat is much more tense compared to arkham or early assassins creed games, as there's soooooo many enemies on you at once, of all different types, all taking different methods to take down. You have to be on it pressing the button to counter but also knowing when to be aggressive and when to use bow or elf powers. Also how to make yourself an opening to drain heal yourself.

[@theoverlord3937]

I don’t get why people had a problem with the original Shadow Wars. Like, yes, there were a metric fuck ton of them, but that was the point. It was simulating the harrowing experience of Talion holding off the forces of Sauron for decades, and give the player room to mess with the Nemesis System more past the Main Story.

[@epiphany8429]

I'm a Steward level PvP player. The best loadout when it comes to attacking is often dependent on the triggers, strengths, and weaknesses of your attacking captains. I personally recommend you use a shield host and faster victory point capture. They make it a matter of 15 seconds or so before you conquer victory points.

I know it could be a bit of a grind. But if you can, find legendary marauder armour pieces. It has a passive effect to boost all your damage the more coins you grab. This effect stacks to the point where you 1shot everything.

[@emerichscamoffa8870]

You don't need intel on the captains and stuff. Whatever they are strong, immune to, or vigilante against tells you what they are vulnerable to. For example if they are vigilante against stealth and immune to execution and that's all it says. That means that they are weak to frost, fire, head shots pinning and stuff. Basically learn everything they can be weak or strong to and when its doesn't say that they are strong, immune to, or vigilante against is a weakness.
