Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

[snappahead]

^ hahahaha.

I actually fell asleep the first two times I tried to watch fellowship

Hehe, yeah the first time I watched Fellowship, I didn't care for it. I thought it looked great and I was in love with the score, but it took a couple watches for it to grow on me. Now, for some reason it's my favorite of the three.

 

[Matt S]

It is that. Borderline infraction worthy.

lol, never make middle earth fans mad...they take their lore seriously.

Ok, two more main missions to go; all 5 warchiefs branded.....doing side stuff and just enjoying this game still....goty for me, easily

 

[The Josh]

That we do. A little protective.

It was a very fun game. Just taking it as a fantasy game it was good time.

 

[Matt S]

yeah just finished it. Overall, loved it......about 40 hours on initial playthrough

I can see some folks falling asleep during one of the Extended Versions ..... those are long movies
But now I can never watch the regular versions

Yeah, I think that's about how long it took me. I've still gotta get a couple of achievements so I could possibly add a couple more hours.

Have they announced what can be expected? (I'm assuming extra missions, but I hope we get a new location or something)

 

[Scareb]

I loved the extended editions. I'm the same way, I can't go back to normal versions. It's also why I haven't purchased any of the hobbit blu rays, I'm waiting for the big extended box set of all 3.

I have 3 story missions left plus a handful of achievements, most of which pertain to warchiefs.

[Matt S]

Thanks....I will definitely play it again once they release some more content....as it stands, game is a keeper for my game library

 

[The Josh]

No problem Yeah, I'll be keeping this one for a bit myself.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Yes I'm sure I'll be holding onto this one for a while too. I'm at 95% on the campaign, and trying to decide what I want to do with the trophies. To get the trophy for having 5 captains attack a warchief do you need to dominate them and tell them to attack?? It seems that the warchiefs only have 1-2 captains as bodyguards.

How Collectorish!

 

[Fritz]

I haven't ordered the season pass yet. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when the game is done or if I'm going to achievement whore the game. But I guess I'm kind of doing that now by playing all the side missions instead of working on the main story though.

Just brand 5 guys and get them to be bodyguards. Once you do that attack him and it will unlock.

its a sickness.......

As was mentioned, just brand 5 captains. When you brand them, press Y or triangle to send them on a mission. If they're already a bodyguard to that warchief I believe you don't have to do anything but if they're a random captain, you'll have to do a recruitment mission and once you have, your captain will be a bodyguard.

You can actually assign every captain to be a bodyguard to one warchief. I saw a video where a guy branded every captain and assigned them to bodyguard one warchief. When the warchief walked out, he had 3 ranks of captains following him. Then when they fought he activated the captains who proceeded to annihilate the warchief and once the warchief was dead, he exploded all their heads.

 

[Brainiac]
