Hardcore Gamer: Middle-Earth: Shadow of War is set to usher in a whole slew of new features and improvements that fans have requested from the first game. We got to sit down with Shadow of War’s Art Director, Phillip Straub, at GDC 2017 to discuss the sequel to 2014’s Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Be sure to check out our in-depth preview to see what we thought about Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.
TIM WHITE WRITES: "Multiplayer or single player? Developers, you can do both, just not willy-nilly."
I hate when I see single player games and see people begging for multi-player. Jeez guys it don't need to be on every game. Latest one I seen was atomic heart.
Multiplayer or even co-op
If it was always a single player game then that's how it is
It's a trend that never really went away. For me multiplayer in a primarily SP focused game was an excuse for DLC. Then there's the mentality gamers had that adding multiplayer makes a game worth the price, otherwise it should be half price for half a game. A way of thinking devs reassured when they started adding multiplayer to their sequels. We see the same with multiplayer focused games getting SP in their sequels.
I remember when certain single player games had them as included optional modes that was played on the couch. Had brilliant times with Syphon Filter and Golden Eye. Me and my bro used to used to fight over who would play as Gabe even though it was technically just a skin. Good times.
Here are 10 RPGs with great combat, including widely-known titles like Elden Ring and some of the lesser-known gems.
Not a bad list at all. The only one I haven't played there is Mortal Shell, but all the other games are great choices, with Shadow Of War and MOTHERFUCKING KING SHIT SUPREME DRAGON'S DOGMA as my personal favorites there.
Xbox Game Pass Quests recently reset for the month of September. So if you try to collect as many Microsoft Rewards points as possible, there's a new set available now.
Man this game looks so sick, such a huge improvement over the first which was already amazing. This year is really hitting hard with some promising upcoming titles and incredible games already released.
What a year it's going to be!
I need only two things: much better story than SoM and playable female character. SoM bored me completely and I never finished it.
Oh man they just explained how they dealed with most problems of SoM. Overlords are boss fights, more diversity, even more variety of orcs and their traits and few more rpg elements. Cant wait!
