Early reviews are giving this game high scores so at that price it is a steal; however there is a season pass does the code work for that as well?
49.99 on steam pretty good deal not going to bite though cause not a big LOTR fan.
Is the as brutal as the Dark Souls series, or is this more along the lines of Assassins Creed?
It starts becoming more difficult after the first couple hours as they introduce more ranged enemies (think fighting 20 orcs with 5 of them taking pock shots with spears at you) and due to the fact that there's absolutely no way to regen health in combat (so far anyways).Look through your Runes I found one that gives me 33% health when you do a successful Drain or Brand on an enemy; difficult to do in mob combat but it works with a little planning.
Not working. Waited too long. F.
You did not, there is a new Code since its a new month. It worked for me!!! Still 37.50

Gods, I so dont have the money for this...
But the game + the season pass stuff for 25% off..... arrgh.... <stares at bill pile>
I was hoping this would be as brutal as DS, but alas.... Maybe I will pick it up to kill time....
Get the game, take your mind off the bills But skip the season pass and buy it later - there are always 25% off GMG codes running, no real urgency to get the season pass except for a couple minor perks like some extra unlocked challenges and a few missions.
I'd still recommend the season pass eventually though, maybe closer to DLC time. Game is awesome, like a Grand Theft Assassin's Batman.
KB/M is fine. If you've played any Arkham game with KB/M then you should be comfortable with the controls in this game. TB says that beyond the one-button-to-rule-them-all for world interactions, the KB/M controls are quite good for a 3rd-person action game.DO i need a xbox controller or KB/M is fine?

Well, Dark Souls is Dark Souls, and not much else is really going to compare except maybe Lords of the Fallen. But to look at this game through a DS lens and dismiss it on lack of similarity would be to miss out on a fairly fun experience. It is definitely not a "mash A button to progress" game, you actually do have to strategize a bit and know when to run when you're overwhelmed, get a feel for "surfing" a mob meaning knowing how many orcs you can take on at your given (power) level without getting overwhelmed. If you just run into a large group in a stronghold and start mashing attack without any thought you'll get your ass handed.
Here's a thought: you know all those cool backstab animations in Dark Souls, this game has sword execution animations in droves. Killing shit is VERY satisfying in SoM.
Also, does anyone else think the difference between the dodge-based enemies (the guys with the shields) and the parry based enemies is pretty big? Parry seems extremely forgiving in terms of pressing it in time, even mid swing, but the dodge I've been hit by even pressing it the instant the prompt pops up.
Sigh. I bit last night and got the pack with the SP.
Figured, if I'm going to fuck myself financially, might as well just get it all over with in one swoop. 25% off is hard to knock on a launch title.

Doesn't seem to be working anymore. =(
