While this is no Telltale game and you won’t be particularly moved by the story, it does stay true to the LOTR formula of one man fighting the forces of evil against all odds. Like with the first game, Shadow of War does play fast and loose with what is generally considered established canon in the Middle-earth mythos, but it does so in a way that is interesting and enticing. The character design of such orcs also stands out, with extravagant armour or funny weapons (the bards will often feature a guitar with a blade hanging out from it) that make them even more memorable.

However, among the masses are also unique gems with peculiar quirks like a love of singing or an obsession with maggots.

Many of them are the typical bloodthirsty savages you’ll soon learn to ignore. Meeting some of them, like Carnan, for the first time is indeed a significant milestone, but the truly memorable characters are the orcs. The characters in the main story are certainly memorable and epic, they’re well-developed and feature high-quality voice acting. It either greatly expanded on some of the more obscure characters from the movies like Shelob, or introduced entirely new ones like Carnan. Storyĭespite my rather low expectations going into the game, Shadow of War’s story left me pleasantly surprised, drawing heavily on Middle-earth lore. Unfortunately, a lot of that fun is ultimately marred by some truly befuddling design choices that, by the game's end, are bound to leave a bad taste in your mouth. Its sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, doesn't disappoint in that regard either, building on the enticingly fun gameplay by adding more content and a much larger open world.

That was largely due to its combat system, an amalgam of the fluid button mashing of the Batman Arkham series and the parkour and stealth-focused shenanigans of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. I am a game developer (20+years now) and also a gaming nut.When Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor broke into the gaming scene in 2014, it was arguably the first and only game set in the universe created by Tolkien that actually felt fun to play. But I feel if you could incorporate the later few features in your next design it would make the Razer Blade 14" perfect in my opinion. Sure there are other things that could be added i.e. Even with titles like GTA V and Shadow of Mordor need extra Vram. 6gb is a little overkill, but given the work we are doing on the new consoles, I would suggest that that larger Vram pools will become the norm sooner than you think. A number of your competitors use 6gb with the 970m. Vram: More VRam is needed to maintain the textures on modern titles. But for the broader audience the Mini Display port would be the ideal addition.ģ. You could just insert a HDMI 2.0 port that would fix the issue in my case. Mini Display port: I have a Dell U3415w 3440x1440 monitor that I would like to also use with it.

1tb M.2 (Asus have placed an M.2 PCIex4 in their G501) One of these slots plus a second slot would be ideal (the second slot does not have to be so fast)Ģ. Storage: Please add in another M.2 slot so you can actually store your entire games library on it. I think the Razer Blade 14" is an amazing laptop and it ONLY needs the following future updates to (in my opinion) restore it to glory, and sway me back to purchasing it.ġ. I also wanted to share my thoughts with Razer and their users, so Razer can essentially make the perfect Razer Blade 14" in the future, and we can all buy it! I will note these are my thoughts, however, I know my thoughts are also shared with many users. I want the Razer Blade 14" but it does lack some of the key things I now need, and a for a high end laptop these really should be standard. But now to my surprise! I am torn on what laptop to purchase. I have recommended the Razer Blade 14" to many colleges, and they now own them. I was just about to purchase the new Razer Blade (2015), when I was astonished how much the gaming laptop landscape had changed in only 14 months. I have started this thread as my Razer Blade 14" was stolen and I really miss it!
