Yes! Yes! Yes! We finally have a sequel to the excellent Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor! This trailer just got uploaded an hour ago, promising a gameplay reveal on the 8th of March, with a release date of 22nd August 2017! Incredibly hyped for this, can't wait to see what they do with it. I trust that at the very least it'll be up to the standards of the first game, hopefully even surpassing them. So what's your thoughts on it? Who else is excited?

So I owned the first game for over a year before I decided to play it and it was one of the best games I've ever played on the new gen consoles. I binged it and got platinum in like 4 or 5 days. It was all I did for a week. Had no idea they were making a sequel but now I'm stoked! Thanks for this.

Never did finish the story in Shadow of Mordor, but it wasn't because I didn't like the game. I just kept getting caught up in huge fights against dozens of orcs, loving every minute of it. Definitely gonna get the sequel, and may get back on SoM to advance the story a bit. Seems like I was only halfway through.

I played the game a bunch, got to where you learn how to tame a Graug, and didn't advance anymore, because I'd look for groups of Uruks to lay into. With the time I put in, if I had stayed on the path in that time, I would have probably beat it. I'm just pissed at this release, because it's yet another game, to add to the list this year, I'll have to get.

Got mine getting delivered on Tuesday. IGN gave the game a 9.0 so it looks like it's going to be even better than the first!

Follows on and improves on Shadow of Mordor. Can't go anywhere without getting into a massive fight with dozens of orcs haha, and the captains are very unique and challenging. Only about 4 hours in but really enjoying it.

Enjoying what I've played so far. The only real complaint I really have is, even if you've changed Talion's armor, in the cutscenes, it's still his default gear. I've actually faced the same captain, 3 times so far. I swear, I kill him, but he would show back up, going on about sweets lol. Hopefully 3 time was the charm, and he's dead for good.

Yeah, so far the game is great, and definitely an improvement over it's predecessor, even given how incredible Shadow of Mordor was. Shadow of War just takes it to another level. I do find it strange how you begin the game more or less powerless, though I suppose it wouldn't be very good gameplay-wise if you started off with all your abilities. Put a good few hours into it over the past few days, and still loving it. Enjoying what I've played so far.

I think there's an achievement for dominating a captain after having killed them 3 times.

Can't really get super into it, and I liked the first game, although I didn't love it like everyone else. The story seems very thin so far, and the stakes are low; I feel like this game would be more interesting if it wasn't a continuation of the first. I like the gameplay, but it's basically the same thing I've been playing since Arkham Asylum with some obvious additions, set in a different, more open world. I'll most likely finish it, but I just can't find this series as captivating as everyone else.
