I find your lack of faith...disturbing.

Shadow of Mordor is a great game, and has lots of stealth, combat, and "magic" options. So what if we took away 2/3 of that? After all, it's kinda silly that a ghost can use physical weapons.

Time to banish Mordor to the shadow realm.

    Through the Nemesis System, I think both this game and its sequel have one the most fun gameplay loops I've experienced in open world games. I get really invested in making allies, engaging in power-struggles between orcs and creating rivals. And the best thing is that very little of it is scripted.

    MY DEAR GWYN, LEMON JUST POSTED! AND IT'S A SHADOW OF MORDOR VIDEO!?!? WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED
  • @Mizuraka4437
    I started playing shadow of war again and damn....I forgot how cool the nemesis system works ! We really need more games with it
  • @Deathannihilator
    First Diablo 2, and now this?! What have we done to deserve such goodness?
  • @Phosypha
    It's been a while since I've played Shadows of Mordor, but I'm pretty sure that Wraith Finisher makes it so you always detonate the head of non-captain enemies after you interrogate them. Obviously its a bit late to say this now, but it might come in handy if you try this with SoW (though I suspect that one would be quite a bit more rough)

    Lemon?!?! "And in the darkness, BOMB them." I can't believe you missed that.
  • @ExtremeMan10
    Celebrimbor made SUFFER ME NOW itched into my skull forever with the amount of times he said it in game. Great game.
  • @bigtree7071
    Such an underrated game. And Shadows of War had an amazing online mode
  • @SirFleetingFury
    I love seeing the channel continue to branch out! Top tier quality and commentary as well. Thank you!
  • @Kiiro77
    These games are criminally underrated. I remember playing this game all the way through middle school. The nemesis system, Arkham-like combat, cool story and characters and awesome abilities. Definitely helped fuel my love for the series. Great video as always!
  • @hoodiegal
    "It isn't efficient, but I'll be damned if it isn't fun" - that just describes this entire game tbh. I had a blast with it.
  • @what5902
    I remember how i kept dying to a single ork captain until he was literally the strongest possible and that whole expirence is truly why i love this game. I also remeber by the end having every ork captain and warlord under my control. I wish that system was in other games.
  • @arbiter771
    I'd love to see a challenge with the sequel, orc only, or pacifist sorta run where you let the orcs do everything you can and bolster em up. Would be awesome
  • @nicreven
    god i love these videos They're so comfortable, and the little end monologues are so cool keep doing your thing lemon
  • i love both games so much, and you making a video on one of them is AMAZING!
  • @cas9656
    Shadow of Mordor is one of my absolute favourite games, I replay it at least twice a year so it goes without saying that I am over the moon seeing that you've done a run of this game. Your videos are fantastic.
  • @IAmFuntimeee
    Shadow of Mordor is literally one of the games that made me thrill the most ! The moment when you go back to Mordor with your troops and your nemesis assembled an army is as stunning as the moment you discover ash lake for the first time.
