I'm happy that publishers finally understand that ports of "Old Games" need to be discounted upon release if they want anyone to buy it.
Never played these but happy to check them out for $30
Curious as to how much these types of ports actually sell on Switch. Clearly enough to be profitable but does that mean more people than I expect are buying them or that they're relatively cheap to make?
one they rebalanced the 2nd game after they remove microtransactions it became soo much better
I actually love these games, and they're still 30fps on PS5 and Series X.
I think it's the best Arkham-style combat of any game.
That's awesome. I would like to see the Xbox and Playstation versions updated as well.
These two games are massively underrated and they are both in my top 10 favourite games of all time. Such a shame monolith got shut down
with your statement i will pick this up
You won't regret it. You have to give the "nemesis system" a try. It's so special that Warner Bros patented it so no-one else can have it
im looking forward to it
Hes right. Theyre amazing games. So addictive. The combat mechanics and the traversal are far superior to other 3d action adventure games like Assassins Creed, Tomb Raider or Uncharted. The Nemesis system is a gamechanger and makes your in game conflicts so much more engaging.
Ive put like 400hrs across both of these titles on PC.
They come well recommended.
I mean, Shadow of Mordor was extremely well praised and very popular back in the day, it even got well deserved nominations for GOTY, but then WB killed the second game with micro transactions and the series died out.
Not nearly as popular as it should've been. It was revolutionary and not nearly appreciated enough. Everyone forgot about it when Witcher 3 came out. Did you play it? Also, they later removed the MTX's for shadow of war so let's not blame that. People just didn't appreciate just how good it was
