Holy crap this game is boring.
The worst combat system I've ever seen. You literally just spam left click and space bar and you CAN NOT DIE. SO boring.

Waste of money. Do not buy unless you like having absolutely no challenge and no dynamic gameplay with zero room for skill or character power advancement.

This is true only for the earlier levels. Enemies gain immunities and captains/warlords are actually quite a challenge at times.

It's just not fun too me. I don't see how people can enjoy such a mindless combat system. I was expecting much much more. Something akin to Devil May Cry/God of War/Legend of Zelda style combat. Not a mash left click until your finger breaks combat system...

I find it incredibly boring and un satisfying in pretyt much every way. You can completely disregard any boss strengths by just executing them and then building up hit streak by jumping and blocking while being 100% immune to all damage. It's absurd.

The games combat is about as deep as a petri dish.

I'm glad it wasn't like Devil May Cry,God of War or Legend of Zelda, two 8 hour button mashers and a child's game.

Where are you getting that from? you can't disregard any boss strength by just executing them, quite a'lot of bosses have strengths so you can't do that and being 100% immune to all damage is bull as well.

Battle system wise, not the entire game. Just like, you know. A bit of depth or complexity to them. Needing to parry at certain times. Having perhaps a Thrust/Vertical/Horizontal attacks, instead of just "attack". There is no hitbox even. You swing your weapon and you hit them. Major boring.

How much time have you spent on this game?

And Zelda you use spell or sword, thats it two attacks. I see those games as being less ways of killing your enemy, I can kill an uruk by throwing in fire, throwing off cliff, killing with caragor, take on base with a pack of caragors, killing with graug, caragath, ghul, blowing him up, oh and I haven't even used weapons yet, how is that less combat options than the three games you mentioned.

Totally love the gameplay, it's
Really one of the best games I've played
Over the past year of shady
Lame games that are pretty
Linear and doesn't contain
Many good stories or scenarios
Unlike this which does end
Contain better graphics and better gameplay,
However, I prefer the story as it's really good.

I see what you did there.

And to answer you question, no. Just making a post because I am upset with the lack of gameplay.

I honestly don't find it to be that simple. I've never been much of a PC gamer until I bought this Asus. I actually die more than I succeed, simply because the hit/dodge aspect isn't making sense to me considering anytime to try to fight a captain they call 30 Uruks to help them out. Maybe it's just the transition from console to PC that is causing me to suck, but honestly, I feel like this game is a homerun. Also nice to see a bit of LOTR Lore. Just sayinnnn
