My friend and I got into a discussion about weird patents game companies have and the Nemesis system for Shadow of Mordor came up which he said he loved.

So went out, got it for £4 at CEX and played it.

Wow, I thought it was a generic action adventure with some weird thing about orks going on, yet it has some of the most fun stealth I've ever played in a video game.

I'm not 100% on if i got the nemesis stuff or why people rave about it. Sure it was interesting to see how enemies progressed but I've seen people say it gets better on harder difficulties as you are more likely to die and so different orks pop up as they kill you. I did have one funny bit where a low level one got the final kill, tried to take their place and just got killed in the head to head. Was funny.

But the details of going around, finding intel to find an captains weakness, planning to kill them so you can make sure the fight on a warchief is easier? That's all great stuff.

Anyway, finished the main story so just getting a few trophies, not going to plat as looking at some of them can't be arse there but I will say the final mission was very dissappointing, did they run out of time?

Spoiler!
You go in with you peeps, kill some orks then have a final battle, which is just like 3 quick time events after climbing some tower. Very poor ending to a fantastic game, I thought I was going to use all my abilities and stuff.


Hmm, pie.
