Shadow Of Mordor Was Once A New Batman Game

Developer Monolith Production’s Shadow of Mordor came out of nowhere when it first released in 2014 and went on to be critically acclaimed by many fans and critics. But did you know that it was first a new Batman game before becoming the Middle Earth game we all love?

I probably would have preferred a Batman game. But it all worked out in the end.

The nemesis system was pretty much the only revolutionary mechanic in AAA games this entire gen so I'll have to disagree.

Yeah that and Battle.. ug

You mean last-gen? It's been nearly 5 years since and the vast majority of RPG's don't make use of it so it's hardly changed the landscape. It's a great feature, but definitely not revolutionary.

No, I meant the current gen and it isn't revolutionary? Show me a game with a similar mechanic that did what the Nemesis system did before Shadow of Mordor.

"No, I meant the current gen and it isn't revolutionary?"

Well it's a last gen game because it released on the ps3/360 so labelling it a current gen game is factually false.

"Show me a game with a similar mechanic that did what the Nemesis system did before Shadow of Mordor."

I never said a game did it before. I simply said it's not revolutionary because it hasn't CREATED A REVOLUTION in design. If you disagree then it's on you to provide me with all the games that are copying it.
