The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor have been delayed to November 18 in North America and November 21 in Europe, Warner Bros. has announced.
Unfortunately, the open worlds in games like Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, Halo Infinite, and the original Assassin's Creed do more harm than good.
I legitimately loved Halo's switch to open world. They made traversal of the map entertaining, and everything involved just tied into the (what I consider) awesome gunplay.
The entire time I really felt the slow takeover of the map, and all the little steps forward felt satisfying.
I don't know what more people really want there, considering the setting and story. A handful of soldiers hunkered down on enemy territory; slowly trying to win the battle.
I think R* are the only ones who have made compelling open worlds. I can’t stomach most open world games and how boring they are with busy world. It’s like a flex to make this massive environment, but it’s extremely boring to traverse and play in. GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 blew me away with how incredible their worlds were. Elden Ring was the only other game to give me that sense of awe.
I’m back on an open world kick after Horizon. I don’t know what clicked in me but exploring the map and seeing the detail work has me loving open worlds again. Playing AC Odyssey on hard and really enjoying it and the map. Reinstalling RDR2 tonight because damn, that map is just incredible for sightseeing.
Halo Infinite felt off. It's like the developers didn't know what they really wanted to do
Depends on which open world titles u play, most of em are shitty AF, but I honestly admire open world genre, sometimes to just take a break from fighting and missions you explore n see details you haven't noticed before cause you were too busy body at first, then boom finding some dope equipment or things to sale
GF365: "Most games are not perfect and that may be because of a character or an enemy. Here are 10 mediocre bosses in great games."
The Pursuer from Dark Spuls 2 was great, I think the author just sucks at games.
GF365: "These are the best games based on movies. Every entry on this list will be a great video game adaptation of popular movies."
just as long as it releases on the ps4 Im good
A delay was expected considering Monolith isn't working on last gen ports.
And the game wouldn't be finished until late September to be sent off to the other studio to be ported down.
Who ever expected it to release early October doesn't know how this works.
I feel sorry for the poor chaps playing this on last gen with the overly simplified nemesis system, which is what makes Shadow of Mordor stand out
Getting mine on PS4 so I'm good.
Sucks for those who don't have current consoles though. This game looks amazing.
The 'Naughty Bear' developer is porting this to the 360/PS3.. yeah, well, there goes any hope that this will be good then. 'Naughty Bear' was an awful game.
