Gamespot - Middle Earth Shadow of War delayed

 

 

Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the sequel to 2014's Shadow of Mordor, has been delayed from its intended August release date. The follow-up will now launch worldwide on October 10, 2017.

 

In a blog post, developer Monolith stated the reason for the delay was to ensure Shadow of War delivers "the highest quality experience."

"Middle-earth: Shadow of War expands gameplay in every dimension, including the massive open world, the story, the RPG systems, and personal player stories of the Nemesis System," the developer said. "As with Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Monolith is committed to delivering the highest quality experience. In order to do this, we have made the difficult decision to move our launch date to ensure that Middle-earth: Shadow of War will deliver on that promise.

 

"We understand that it might be disappointing to have to wait a little longer for the release and are sorry for the delay, but we are working hard to make an amazing game. We're excited to show more at E3."

 

The open-world game was originally slated to launch for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on August 22 in North America. Today's announcement therefore represents a delay of almost two months. Although the new October date applies "worldwide," Monolith stated in its blog post that Australia and New Zealand's release dates may vary.

 

The developer recently said that the title, which is set in the same universe as The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, will not be coming to Nintendo Switch.

I read that the Pathfinder Card game is coming to PC. I will mostly give that a shot once it releases. It could be a fun game to play in short sessions.

Ubisoft has a new logo...

 

They love bad publicity don't they? Sometimes I think they purposely want people to hate them lol

 

Lawbreakers is looking better than Quake Champions but both are looking better than Overwatch. Is anyone going here excited to play either of them?

What was the setting for the last Far Cry game?  I can't remember if I played it or not and I don't have my games in front of me to check.

A fictional Himalayan country, ruled by the dictator Pagan Min. Also rebels called the Golden Path.

 

And....that just about exhausts what I know about Far Cry 4. :D

The fun thing about Far Cry 4, is it opens with you travelling to the fictional Himalayan country to find the place where your mother wants her ashes left, when said dictator picks you up from a tourist bus and slaughtering some "rebels" in front of you. You then get "rescued" and get to go on your Far Cry slaughtering rampage. But... if you'd ignored the rescue and stayed with the dictator, you'd have finished the game in 15 minutes because all he wanted to do was help you put your mother's ashes to rest where she wanted them.

That sounds like a pretty cool idea, actually.

Edit:

**NMA listed this yesterday... so it seems I'm a bit late on the news.

 

**New Vegas, was the the reason Installed Steam, and kept it installed. So it will be interesting now (to me), to see if I don't just uninstall Steam permanently.

Lol u should if uve never played it before. Not a perfect game, but imho one of the top 10 rpgs of all time.

Dead Money u will love or hate, but it's bc of fonv I threw money at pillars not really knowing about obsidian's past work.

One thing u loved about it was that u have options in doing things that it doesn't show you. Ex. One question has u recruiting someone and to do so it shows a barter and a speech check, but if have a certain drink on you, a new option opens up.

This may well spur me into finishing my Enclave Armor mod. (In Sig)

Or perhaps even finish adding Scorpitron 2.0 to Old World Blues.

When I saw that Elex had dinosaurs, I knew I will be buying it lol Raptors ftw!

Every Piranha Bytes game has Raptors ('Snappers'), right from the first Gothic.

Nice, I didnt know. I dont think Ive ever played a Gothic game. This looks like everything I wanted from Fallout 4 lol

 

The environments intrigue me, the raptors and the traversing of the Jetpack

There needs to be more games with Dinosaurs. I wish we could get a new Turok game.

Nice, I didnt know. I dont think Ive ever played a Gothic girl. This looks like everything I wanted from Fallout 4 lol

Well, you never get to play a female in PB games.  You are always a generic nameless white guy.

Technically the guy you play in R3 isn't wholly generic, since he's Patty's bro. But yeah, you're basically Mr B. Slate, esquire, otherwise.

 

(I have to admit I rather liked the occasional dialogue in the PB games that poked fun at themselves for not having a lead character with any sort of defined name or previous role)

Ahhhh.... I wish you could make your own character but pther than that, looks like a cool world to discover :D

Had to add this:
