Another perspective on the micro-transactions / loot boxes from RPS
TL/DR: No, you don't
Do you need loot boxes to complete Shadow of War's final act?

The controversy is overblown and I'm glad outlets are picking that up. The microtransactions in thisare 100 percent ignorable, avoidable, and complete nonfactors.
This game is sweet. If you liked the first one, prepare for awesome. All the goodies are there. All the graphics options are there. KBM and controls both work great.
Well I just don't like them being in the game at all. I'll still pass for now until the game is dirt cheap and a GOTY version is out. Too many game in my library to play without loot boxes or strings attached.
Good to hear, thanks man. I'll take a [H]ard perspective over an outlet's any day of the week.

I haven't finished the first game (about 60% so far), but love the overall game world, challenge and the tough to beat Warchiefs. They really nailed the combat/stealth mechanics in this game.This is a sweet game. Definitely an upgrade in terms of variety of locales, color, detail... if you're a fan of the first game you will eat this up, hands down.
The only thing hard with the first game are some of the Warchiefs. Once you upgrade to more combat skills, hordes of orcs surrounding you is a breeze. Stealth is king, but doesn't always work depending on each encounter.I'm just glad they included difficulty levels. Because I suck at the combat, I got stuck on Shadow of Mordor and never finished it.
So I plan on using the easy difficulty to start out the game and see how I do. I can always change it if starts getting too easy for me.
Well I played a good three hours last night. Took a lot for me to pull away to be honest. I am not a side quest person but the motivation for the gear and the gear sets are enough to invest me. I did like 2 story missions in that entire period of time.. I was just enjoying the game.
Combat is like the first, if you liked the batman games combat its the same. I am not sure how the army system works just yet. There is a lot of customization, with gems that go into weapons and all these sub skills. Its been awhile since I have been itching to play a game this bad. I am excited for the weekend
Was about to pull the trigger and buy it but just read about the locked 60 FOV with devs stating no plans to change it.

Third or first person , that's way too narrow for me to enjoy.

I wouldn't sweat an arbitrary number, and just play the game as the devs intended.
*So far* the FOV isn't bothering me. It seems like it's the same as it was in part 1 but I'd have to check. I wouldn't mind a slider for adjustment. It would be a fairly easy add if they felt like it which, so far, sounds like no. Too bad. Even going from 60 to 65 would be nice. Or 70.
So, what is different compared to the first game?
After reading this thread I went back and binge played the first one. Finished it after like 18hrs played. I never even saved up enough points to unlock the ultimate skills lmao.
Just started the intro movie last night before bed. Is the flashback movie suppossed to not have any voices? I dont get any speaking audio until the spider lady is shown.

Yup I noticed the same thing when I started it, so apparently they designed it that way.
Shadow of War has an orc who will hunt you down and sing to you

I thought that was pretty darn funny.
Lots of funny stuff in the game really. Well maybe not everyone will be sensitive to that type of humour but I certainly laugh a lot while playing it. Between the guy that keeps cheating death and the poet I met last night it's been a hell lot of fun.
Also I get stellar performance with a 1080 ti in 1440p. About 100fps average (in the benchmark but game feels great even during large scale battles) on ultra with 4k textures (8GB+ VRAM usage lol). Looks like I'm CPU bound though ([email protected]), my GPU isn't getting hot at all and my case isn't hot to the touch either.
Doesn't look amazing though, good but not jaw dropping.
