shadow wars is painfully boring

[Master Yoda]

let me just start by saying it doesn't make me want to buy microtransactions- most of the time it's acceptable to just brand the enemy orcs

HOWEVER

it is so, so boring. Like 20 sieges each lasting 30 minutes. It's SO, SO BORING. It just goes on and on without end. 10 atrociously boring hours just to unlock an ending? it's so ♥♥♥♥ing boring

the #1 fact about shadow wars that pisses me off the most is the fact that the gameplay CLEARLY did not have sieges in mind... it's incredibly hard to brand captains in the middle of a fight since there's about 100000 orcs in his general direction making aiming impossible, having to go back to your fort just to get more arrows or care for captains bleeding out is needlessly stressful, and perhaps worst of all, THE 20 SECOND _UNSKIPPABLE_ INTRO FOR EVERY ♥♥♥♥ING ORC CAPTAIN IN EVERY ♥♥♥♥ING SIEGE.

that's among the other issues making sieges so boring even from the start: creatures die in like 5 seconds- but only if YOU'RE riding them of course! if you so much as sprint in the vicinity of an orc Talion likes to do this 5 second animation where he attempts to rebalance himself as if he's drunk, making sprinting impossible, and god shadow wars is just such a ♥♥♥♥ing mess. Sieges shouldn't even be in the game- the probably only new feature in the game is what lets it down. How, HOW did they mess up this bad?

Shadow of Mordor was by far the best game. Shadow of War has its improvements but overall the game is more boring but that's my opinion.

Agreed. I'm still playing a bit but it's just mindless orc-slaying now.

I actually enjoyed these sieges, mostly because of levels boost there but I think they should just change it to endless after first few, people wouldn't cry about grind and people complaining about lack of endless defence would be happy.

And i totally agree about unskippable intros, so frustrating when you rush from one place to another only to got stopped every few sec by some tasty tasty MF orcs

Honestly, the sieges are the fun part. It's the preparation that sucks. I hate having to level my orcs up in the fight pits one by one before the big battle. It takes FOREVER, and you have no control.

you definitely don't have to do that. As long as you're roughly at the level of the invading orcs, you can just brand those. Fighting pits is a waste of time.

Shadow of war is one of the best games in the last years.. there is almost no games in steam that are worth buying. 98% of steam game are a total garbage..

[Where's The Lamb Sauce]

The nemesis system is pretty fun and can be interesting but everything else about the game is so poorly done its not funny

you're right, the first 3 acts are amazing even if they don't add anything new
4th act though... PURE GARBAGE

I have to agree... this game should be better and more engaging by every way possible... yet, I'm BORED of doing the same running and mission types over and OVER again. I'm a few hours in and just BORED... going to give it another go, but if this continues time to Delete and consider not continuing the series (since we all now there will be a 3rd entry this fall).

3rd game this fall?
a new game would take at least 5 years.

If you find shadow wars boring wait until the july 17th update, and continue after that update

I've installed de game again, and now I remember why it was uninstalled in the first place, I get bored, I didn't complete the game, and I don't think I'm gonna do it this time neither. I've played 2 sieges so far, and I'm thinking about uninstalling it again...

[on the spectrum]

Same, 30 hours into the game and I'm not that excited to play the game anymore...
