Can't wait for this to release I'm going to get the gold edition. Game editions are getting expensive now $40 extra for the gold edition. Hopefully the DLC is worth it.

me too. i just dont have the patience for that kind of stuff anymore in games. i loved all the disgaea and like nis games but have been unable to bring myslef to finishing the last one because there is just too much micro managing in it to fully take advantage of the game correctly

Once I defeated Sauron, I just had fun exploring the rest of the map, building up my troops and skills while ignoring most of the newfound threats the rising Orcs were giving. If I saw them in the field, I'd just go the other way if they were one of the tougher bosses. I hope this game offers the same freedom of not having to defeat every boss to win.

Yeah, $99 for a game is a bit too much for me, having grown up with $29.99, 39.99, 49.99 and now 59.99 games. That's like the price of two games pretty much, so unless it's the most amazing DLC ever, I usually base everything on the main game and hope they didn't hold back the best stuff for the DLC.

Give it 3-6 months and the Gold Edition will be $55 or less.

Will wait till it hits $30.

We can hope but I'm pretty sure there will be loading screens. They wouldn't leave people guessing if they managed such a feat.

I like that trailer, though they're using the gameplay assets to create the story, so the faces and lighting aren't always ideal.

Zivouhr · 06-15-2017, 04:40 AM

Here's a great look at the exploration of the world map via animal transport. This video suggests a day/night cycle is possible.
This will be a single player game, likely offline as with the first game.

varmintx · 08-05-2017, 07:44 PM

Microtransactions.

MosHighDef · 06-15-2017, 06:47 PM

Kind of bummed it looks so similar to the first one .

Zivouhr · 06-15-2017, 08:52 PM

I was kind of hoping to see Fangorn forest, Mirkwood Forest, Rivendell, Hobbiton, Gondor and many of the areas seen in the movies, along with some epic scenery when climbing up onto a mountain, overlooking the forest and valleys in the distance.
Not that we won't get some of that, but in more compact areas from the look of this demo so far. Even so, still looks like the fun challenge and cool combat of the first game returns with some new ideas.

The possibility of a seamless world and day/night cycle increase after watching that video above.

This will import your greatest nemesis and greatest ally from the first game. Interesting.

Zivouhr · 07-06-2017, 06:30 PM

Interesting, thanks.
My greatest nemesis' were any villain bosses that pushed me back when I tried to roll over their back to do the slice ghost fury attack. Tough game, but if you separated the boss from the horde of enemies, it was easier.

I really hope there's a day/night cycle this time.

MosHighDef · 09-10-2017, 01:47 AM

Month away right ?
