Just finished this. Why the fuck did people like this game at

I said this a million times when it released but nobody listened

story was good if you're into lotr
environment wasnt empty, boring or extremely repetitive
gameplay was derivative of both but took good parts of each so not really an issue
shoehorned references? are you retarded?
MC and celebrimbor werent boring

3/10 made me respond

The Nemesis system and literally only that. I don't think I ever even bothered beating the game, I just spent days and days playing with the Nemesis system. Grooming stronger and stronger Orc Chieftans and assassinating their rivals so they'd rise higher and higher through the ranks.

>Just finished this
don't lie.
if you actually finished it then you would have complained about the "final boss."

It's basically a regular modern open world AAA game that even steals Bam Ham combat
I have to check that it wasn't released by Ubisoft every time

The game is unforgivable horse shit. One of the worst of all time. Good job not being a faggot OP

>Why the fuck did people like this game at all?

Because
>open world
>looks pretty and has great animations
>doesn't challenge the player and essentially makes them overpowered to the point of being godlike (i.e. they went out of their way to not frustrate casual players)
>player character does all sorts of cool shit with very little input or skill required
>constant positive reinforcement through upgrade/progression systems
>tied to a popular franchise
>has a somewhat novel gimmick

Are you a dev or possibly 12 ?

There was basically no fucking story, it sucked ass. The missions were all the same boring shit, no place is memorable, the main characters were useless as fuck , empty shells with barely some lore painted over them.

Yeah i was wondering why people on here of all places were actually calling this game good after i played a bit of it

Ratbag and the tower were neat but agreed.

The nemesis system carried the game hard.

I honestly tried to like the game, but once I got the "second" part I had to give up because I realized the missions were all the same but now in a slightly greener biome
