Middle Earth meets Assassin's Creed in Shadow of Mordor

[Tibe]

Played it. Gave up in 2 hours. Captains with crossbows kept killing me in melee due to some bug or something in their shitty system. Press "space" to dodge this attack, you press it and you get slugged. At first I thought I sucked or my spacebar was broken, but when I successfuly constantly commited "spacebar" dodges multible times with every other enemy and couldnt dodge the cbow guys attack even once it was kinda clear it wasnt me. Anyone else experiencing somethin similar?

Pressing "space" to dodge doesn't work the same way as M2 blocking does. Just pressing space is not an automagic defense, it's basically telling you that you cannot block this attack, you have to dodge. So you still have to actually dodge the attack, just pressing space doesn't save you from it.

directionalbutton + dodge? Cause if that aint it, im stumped. And pretty sure it tells me specifically that "press space to autododge". I still think it registers as autododge, cause occasionally dodges where I was practically inside the enemies charactermodules counted as misses, eventhou physically it clearly hit me.

Dunno, seems to me that you need to just do a normal spacebar roll to dodge those attacks by choosing the direction yourself. If that's not working, maybe it's broken. But you could try ranged and/or continuous stealth attacks to kill the bugged boss. Or those big monster things.

6GB VRAM lmfao

I should be alright with my stupidly unbalanced 4Gb GTX760

At any rate I won't buy it in the near future. I'm prepared to believe it's not an AC clone, however I'm not prepared to believe those guys understood overnight how to make a good videogame (and not just a mediocre one with high production value). Also from what I could see in the videos the graphics don't look impressive at all, at least not as much as people are claiming they do. Textures look muddy and geometry is pretty simple.

[Xant]

Not only is it not an AC clone, the game has absolutely nothing to do with AC at all. It plays and feels nothing like it. It's very, very much like Batman.

Monolith is an old studio.

Still doesn't seem like playing is actually fun, or that it will still be fun after 10 hours.

Gave it more tries. Ye, directional button + dodge. Works now.... Im also retarded.  Can I join your club Vibe? Is lowering my VRAM to 4gb a prerequisite?

The game really does play out more like Batman, it only appears like AC cause it has swords in it.

only if your really retarted

[Gravoth_iii]

Wait, its 6gb VRAM, wat.

[Taser]

It looks interesting but I'm holding off for a sale. Got other games I'm playing (and replaying) so.. eh. It does look cool but I'm hoping its not cool for the first few hours then lame afterwards. So I'll wait for more reviews while I caress my worn wallet.

Monolith is an old studio.

Known for some awesome games and all of them were badly optimized. Wish they continue where they left with No One Lives Forever.

Don't think they had much say in design of this particular game. Ever since Rocksteady created Batman: Arkham Asylum, WB has been following the same formula in their games, no matter who dev team was.

Expect Mad Max by Avalanche studios to use the exactly the same formula.

It's a borefest tbh. Max repetitive.
