Worth a buy?

I had a lot of fun with it. It's good for an inbetween kind of game, like an FPS to scratch your action itch when you're bored of your current story-driven RPG, etc.

this or shadow of mordor?

The nemesis system is the only worthwhile thing this game has to offer, the rest is garbage BamHam combat with a Middle Earth reskin
I hope this kind of combat system dies out within this generation and we can get past one button to rule them all action combat games
A shame though because if the combat were actually fun, I'd enjoy this game a lot more, just like musou games, if those had weighty combat with proper gore and dismemberment and physics and whatnot, I'd probably play nothing else

Yes, definitely

It's pretty fun actually. Wouldn't pay much for it though.

Its k. Buy it on a sale but don't bother with the dlcs

it's decent enough, and i liked the times where my orc bodyguard saved my dumb ass from death
it just sucks that they force you to shame orcs until they can join you instead of enlisting them in their prime

Is it still on sale? If so, go ahead. It's fun as fuck. If you care terribly about the lore of LoTR, then you'll probably be fuming, though.

If you give absolutely zero shits about story, then I guess this one since it fleshes out the nemesis system more. But Mordor is still good, and if you think you may end up playing both, then you should start with the first one

>fleshes out the nemesis system more
It doesn't. It just adds a bunch of stuff like blood brother revenge/defense but no actual improvements.

>Everyone has epic stories of revenge, betrayal, and friendship
>I can barely remember who the fuck any of the orcs even are or how I killed them

This. It's a good game to just take a break with. The DLC isn't worth it though and the actual game itself is only worth it when it's on special. It's best to wait for a 75% discount on Steam.

>Everyone has epic stories of revenge, betrayal, and friendship
>I can barely remember who the fuck any of the orcs even are or how I killed them
I had this problem in shadow of mordor, it was to easy so I'd immediately behead any captain I came across so I never got any cool nemesis interactions.

Played for three hours and got bored. Its just Bamham with a new coat of paint. Same as the Mad Max game.
WB only knows how to make one type of game, and without the Batman flair it feels kinda dull.

lets read the words, tHE WORds

>The DLC isn't worth it though

are you sure?

I remember the mordor dlc introduced new abilities and the whole celebimbo's backstory

No, Fuck Tolkien: The Game and its abortion of a sequel are not "worth the buy" you drooling mongoloid.

Not at full price, but it is worth checking out. My advice would be to try finding a good torrent because the game on Steam weighs like 100GB because of language files.

Did ou forget the bullshit they pulled at launch with the single player microtransactions and making the game grindy as fuck to encourage to you to purchase them? If you really HAVE to play it, pirate it. I thought it was pretty mediocre and only played about 8 hours before dropping it

It's about a white man kicking ass. So yes

"The treatment of colour nearly always horrifies anyone going out from Britain, & not only in South Africa. Unfort[unately], not many retain that generous sentiment for long." ― Letter 61 — Written to Christopher Tolkien who was stationed in South Africa during World War II.

"I have the hatred of apartheid in my bones; and most of all I detest the segregation or separation of Language and Literature. I do not care which of them you think White." ― From a Valedictory Address to the University of Oxford in 1959.

"I must say that the enclosed letter from Rutten & Loening is a bit stiff. Do I suffer this impertinence because of the possession of a German name, or do their lunatic laws require a certificate of arisch origin from all persons of all countries? ... Personally I should be inclined to refuse to give any Bestätigung (although it happens that I can), and let a German translation go hang. In any case I should object strongly to any such declaration appearing in print. I do not regard the (probable) absence of all Jewish blood as necessarily honourable; and I have many Jewish friends, and should regret giving any colour to the notion that I subscribed to the wholly pernicious and unscientific race-doctrine." ― Letter 29 — Written in response to Tolkien's German publishers asking whether he was of Aryan origin.

"It was Sam's first view of a battle of Men against Men, and he did not like it much. He was glad that he could not see the dead face. He wondered what the man's name was and where he came from; and if he was really evil at heart, or what lies or threats had led him on the long march from his home; and if he would not really rather have stayed there in peace." ― The Two Towers, "Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit".

"Thank you for your letter. I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend by arisch. I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy, or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people. My great-great-grandfather came to England in the eighteenth century from Germany: the main part of my descent is therefore purely English, and I am an English subject — which should be sufficient. I have been accustomed, nonetheless, to regard my German name with pride, and continued to do so throughout the period of the late regrettable war, in which I served in the English army. I cannot, however, forbear to comment that if impertinent and irrelevant inquiries of this sort are to become the rule in matters of literature, then the time is not far distant when a German name will no longer be a source of pride.
>Your enquiry is doubtless made in order to comply with the laws of your own country, but that this should be held to apply to the subjects of another state would be improper, even if it had (as it has not) any bearing whatsoever on the merits of my work or its sustainability for publication, of which you appear to have satisfied yourselves without reference to my Abstammung." ― Letter 30 — Written directly to Tolkien's German publishers.
