Mordor is more fun if you aren't a pro player.

and you still find time to talk to all the little people? WOW

Of course it was as your followup clearly demonstrates. You don't really address your own failings in recognizing that the game actually has methods of making it more difficult either.

Yes, I suppose it did sound condescending. It wasn't my intent.

The developer should've included difficulty levels but if you play games with all of the hand holding toggles on then no one is going to take complaints about difficulty seriously.

Mordor is more fun if you aren't a pro player. And Mordor did make it real easy for even the beginner gamer to be awesome. I just prefer to work a bit harder to earn my awesomeness.Brumbek wrote on Apr 30, 2015, 02:39:
For those of us who play many, many games and tend to be skilled players, Mordor wasn't very impressive. The combat required a child's intellect and the game world wasn't nearly as compelling as Batman or most AC games.
But for people who don't play many games or don't really study games in depth, they loved Mordor because it was so easy to be an "epic killa" and such.
How wonderfully condescending of you.

I never understood people who think it's not good enough to bash something they don't like, they have to bash the people who like it too.

It has nothing to do with skill, it's just taste which is entirely subjective. It's interesting that you played the game with the prompts turned on, a skilled player would turn them off.
Verno wrote on Apr 30, 2015, 08:46:Yeah the story and environments were kinda weak, but the combat was really fun, I found (all prompts turned off).
My beef with this game was the disjointed and poorly edited story, the progression felt all off and the open world trappings are too shallow. It felt very rushed towards the end too but that's most games. It was certainly above average though and did the whole AC thing better than AC is doing these days.

Personally, I loved the game. I'm playing through the Bright Lord DLC now and having a good time with it. Probably have put around 40 hours into the game in total.
Found it too easy? Turn of the button prompts and the enemy outlines in the menu options. Don't perk the overpowered perks like the one that lets you take a hit and still keep your combo meter running. Limit yourself to one legendary rune per weapon (or don't use them at all). The game is as hard as you choose to make it.
