| Wright said: Shadows of Mordor is a game I found with an intriguing premise, and some beautiful scenery and nice first hours to play, then getting bored of it for some reason. Not a bad game by any means, just not interesting enough I guess. |
I think it's more to do with being too used to doing similar things in other games than the game itself (which even does some of those things better than those other ones).
One of those things where even improvements can't quite shake off the over familiarity. It didn't it affect me as much as I haven't played AC since 2 and I avoid about half or more of these types of games but still somewhat of an issue. I can imagine that someone who plays most of them found it more boring, unless they are obsessed with the genre.
Maybe if there is no more Arkham after Knight and the AC rumours are true, SoM2 will have its own, more privileged space.
Replacing some of the more menial tasks with more story would also be better. Even if it's just more cutscenes instead of gameplay sections, still better than boring side quests that pad playtime
Regardless, it's better than AC for sure.
