Yeah I know, it's just annoying to see people refer to a game as an Assassin's Creed Clone, GTA Clone or God of War Clone just because they're popular, none of them being original, all clones of other games that came before them.
Stop whining people... basketball players are always compared to Michael Jordan and you don't hear sports analysts say "well MJ wasn't the FIRST basketball player"
COD, AC, GTA all get compared to FPS, 3rd person parkour/action, and open-world games that come out. It's not because they were the first, it's because they're the best in their genre and the most recognizable. You don't have to like COD, AC, or GTA but you have to understand that they are the Michael Jordan of their genre.
Saying they weren't the first just makes you look ignorant and whiny.
OT - pumped to play this at midnight tonight after I download it on my PS4 :)
You are doing the preload, correct? I only ask because I'd hate to think you are gonna have to sit there at midnight waiting for the game to download, when you could be playing.
Good! Preloading it IS downloading it, so you are good to go! The only thing I might add is that I would use the options button on Mordor and go down to information to make sure all 28GB is downloaded. It should say "completed". Then for sure you would know that it is ready!
Ready to decapitate some orcs? ;)
I will be playing it Tuesday, after breakfast and with my morning coffee, because I just happened to be scheduled off work Tuesday be lack before I was even going to get the game.
This isn't a sport, were not comparing best players.
Only you casual gamers compare new games to those games because let's face it, that's all you know.
CoD is absolutely horrendous, I mean if another FPS was designed specifically for children I'd compare it to CoD, but Call of Duty is the only one that is made for children and man-children alike.
Even the CoD developers said CoD players are not real gamers.
To say any of those games are the best in the genre shows how little you know about gaming, sales don't make a game good, just ask CoD and Destiny.
I've played better games in every genre you mentioned.
I laugh at the ignorance you displayed. Who are casual gamers? Me because I am able to say that those games are the MJ of their genre? The most recognizable series' in games in general I could argue.
That idea has nothing to do with casualness. Not that I care if people play casual games casually. I apologize for being aware of the gaming scene even if they're not games I play, I just don't waste my time criticizing those who do.
Looking forward to picking this game up at Walmart Monday night (Tuesday morning) when I get off work at 3:30 AM. I wasn't sure if I was going to get it day one, but I'm going to be there picking up Forza Horizon 2 anyway, so what the hell. There's no way I'm going to be able to resist it when I see it just sitting there. I doubt I'll regret the purchase.
Preloaded and waiting on my xb1. Almost forgot about this game until the reviews popped up friday. Glad N4G was there to remind me. Now just to choose what to play first... forza or mordor.... add in destiny and driveclub and its a busy few weeks. LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!
You use one button to attack and one button to counter.
There is also some stealth mechanics but the similarities end there.
The combat in this game is far better than Assassins creed because the enemies actually come at you and if you counter you are not rewarded with an endless kill chain so in essence it has more in common with arkham than creed.
Enemies take multiple hits and the elite enemies can develop traits thanks to the Nemeis System which change the combat up like being invulnerable to stealth attacks, able to hit through counters, immune to melee or ranged attacks etc
The wraith powers really mix it up to.
I would not let anyone who is playing the game like assassins creed dissuade your opinion of this game as it is very much its own beast. The wraith powers
You do know Assassin's Creed was not the first game to use this style of gameplay right?
