Shadow of War
I wasn't going to buy anything for the rest of the year but I've been working so hard I need to treat myself. There are a few games (and books) I was looking into but I've decided to go with this game.
I know there is controversy around the DLC for the dev member who passed away. There is controversy around the micro transactions. But I don't really care. Huge fan of the first one and this looks like the same thing just way better.
After watching just a couple videos to wet the appetite but not spoil anything, I am very excited! Anyone else plan on getting this game?

Both look great. And when it comes to video games, I am always fine with delays. It sucks sometimes but if in the long run it means a better game, I can be patient.

I started to play this last night and nothing earth shattering, much like the first one but definitely more Orc captains. Everywhere I go some capt wants to kick my @ss.

I've put a solid few hours into it - haven't even gotten to the point where I can recruit for my army yet but I am really enjoying it. I agree it's much like the first... just a bit bigger and better. And really, that's all I wanted. At least right now I'm pretty hooked. Have just been spending time doing the side missions to get my skill points up.

Yeah, I've been doing the same, building up skill points. Have you killed a lot of Captains? I don't know if it's just me but do you have some Captains who escape instead of dying and you know you pressed the right button and on time? I've had a few that I had to fight 3 times or more before actually killing them.
Anyways, finally finished the 1st area and opened up another but I am going to stay in the first area to complete it more

I've had a couple Captains flee but I hunted them down and killed them. But I do know that sometimes their "skill" is to escape death only to return later so maybe you have been running into a lot of that.
I did that epic arena battle and kept getting ambushed during the battle. Not sure if it was part of the story or if it was just my luck but I had to go through 4-5 Captains - one of which was a Nemesis in order to beat that mission, it was very difficult but also very epic at the same time.
