*Reject Gollum… return to SHADOW OF WAR.*
And Mordor
Reject greedy cash grab, embrace warcrime simulator
And middle earth
Reject Mordor, return to Mordor
What’s the original saying
Btw fun fact: that Forthog Orc Slayer from the end was an Orc they made in memory of a developer who died during the making of this game, so they added Forthog who just comes in randomly and saves you from death. He's also designed to look kinda similar to the developer
That's really wholesome
i remember that. they tried to sell it as paid DLC at first but backed down due to the massive backlash
I was saved by him so many times in my first playthrough of this game. No one else cared enough to save me.
Yeah, but they tried to do a paid DLC and people were not having none of that shit sandwich and then the company backed off for they were literally taking up arms against slings and spears them Blacking out the sun itself with an ocean of arrows we fired upon them. Remember remember the dead developer. Paid DLC slander, treason and plot. I know of no reason, why the Paid DLC slander should ever, be, forgot.
@@thefool8224 Eeyup.
I love how if you shame an enemy enough times there's a chance they go completely mad
It’s actually an achievement in game to do that too
@@zeal705 I just love hearing them laugh maniacally or just mumble incoherently. For everything this game did wrong, Uruk personalities was not one of them. I especially love those Uruks that introduce themselves via singing or making poems.
@@Ashurman666 yeah that was really nice on these games parts. I didn’t really like the unkillable uruks as much. Not because they were hard, but because you can kill them 10 times and they’ll still come back, heck even follow you into another region sometimes. I bet you there’s someone out there who actually beats up their own follower uruks just to see what they do
@@zeal705 I remember I had an Uruk nemesis when I first played, forget his name but he'd always introduce himself with the creepiest, most menacing laugh you've ever heard. He had Iron Will so I could never recruit him so I'd just shame him over and over and he'd keep showing up whenever I least expected it. It's like he was stalking me or something.
@Ashurman666
Can't you just shame them until they go completely mad so they won't bother you or am I wrong?
This game is may be the most absurd fanfiction shit ever produced mainstream. Ghost elves, mind control, a new ring of power, sexy spider lady, a rebellion in Mordor? It's all completely off the rails and I honestly really appreciate it.
Best fanfiction
What's crazy is how good this is despite that, meanwhile rings of power exists
@@GrimViridian It's honestly shocking that SoW is as good as it is! I felt like I got my money's worth and I barely touched the end game grind after completing the story. It's rare that happens these days.
@@vsGoliath96 yeah I need to play it again, I already have my hands full with games though lol
@@vsGoliath96
Hell I got myself a demo a while back and even that is a shitload of content
Kev playing Shadow of War feels like pure dopamine being injected into my brain
That’s what this game is
Fr bro
The guy that saved you at the end is a reference to a developer that died during the creation of the game it randomly appears to save players
The guardian of Mordor saving his life is the reason I love this game. It’s literally the “every copy is personalized” meme.
Do you ever think of putting out a full gameplay of a game because i would love to see you play this entire game
Pretty sure he streams these. You can probably find the vods somewhere
yeah, he hasn't even got to Talion's villain arc
Kevduit casual has more gameplay
@@smellycat57 right
I love this game so much, this and Shadow of Mordor are like the only games where I have 300+ hours. So glad you returned to it
bro i mean nemesis system cool but it still a 2a game and gameplay is not that good for 300 hours hell nah
@@kron1k880bro you play leg !
@@kron1k880 I strongly disagree the combat is the best I personally have ever experienced. I have yet to play a game that makes me feel like such a absolute monster and an actual threat like SOW/M. Hell, If they got rid of the nemesis system i wouldn't even care because shadow of wars combat is the best. No game comes close to how satisfying it is.
@@kron1k880 I don't see what it being a AA game has to do with it's quality, you can have something below AAA and have it be good like you can have something AAA and have it be bad(like a lot of games nowadays). Plus, the gameplay is perfectly fine, good stealth, combat reminiscent of the Arkham series, the nemesis system, building up an orc army and sieging fortresses, it's really, really damn good.
@@OrionDawn15 As someone who has played a lot AC games and finished all dishonored series stealth is not that good for me. I also finished the arkham series so combat bored me quickly but like i said nemesis is fun and special experience. (Graphics not that bad for a 2a game)
Playing this game on the hardest difficulty is crazy because random captains will just show up until there’s a 10v10 battle going down it’s amazing 😂😂
Playing on brutal is a beautiful dance of blades and combat while playing on gravewalker is closer to being told to go actually be a one man army with barely any help and 2 hits from normal weapons will always kill you and you must focus far more on running away than spamming execute and abusing elven rage
@@LocalLawnChair meh gravewalker is easy
Just need to know what to abuse to defeat orc captains and also have luck on your side
@@Patatras_5325LUCK!? In my shadow of war playthrough? Gross
@@attackofthejiggli meh it mostly the luck of not getting hit the moment you vault over a captain and you loose your
Wouldn't we all like to forget Gollum? Yes... The answer is yes
Shadow of Mordor/War are 2 of my favorite games of all time! Nice to see Kev playing this one. Also Forthog I'm pretty sure is an homage to someone on the dev team who passed during production.
fr
Nemesis system are goated, but they are a bitch for putting a patent on it
The "Shadow of" series is great. It's completely not canon and basically fanfiction, but it's something that, while off the rails, is still respectful to Tolkien's works and something you could believe would happen.
Does Celebrimbor and Eregion exist in any capacity in the actual series, or are they made up? Because it’s obvious everything else is completely made up, though in a fun way
@@Isuream6331
Oh, no, Celebrimbor is an actual character and Eregion is an actual location. They're just slightly altered in this series.
@@DarthSidian “slightly altered”
@@DarthSidian
They are completely different characters.
@@Isuream6331
"Slightly".
No other game has ever made me feel like a complete monster and an actual force to be reckond with like the shadow of mordor/war series. I really wish they would make a new one but i know talions story has been told. I personally have completed this game 7 times. 2 of which were before the shadow wars got cut back. (You know, when it used to be 12 fortresses you had to defend/reclaim before you got the true ending instead of 6.) Talion is up there charecter wise with arthur morgan, joel miller, lee everette and clementine in my opinion.
Wait there were 12 fortresses? How does that work, more maps, two per map?
@@topnotchplayer2255 they'd have your bases be attacked twice. And you'd have to reclaim them all over again if you lost the seige. Players complained so much they cut it from 12 to 6
After I broke Bruz, the next time I saw him I think I had to shame him again to be able to recruit him. So there he was, with a metal face pretty much, and when I saw him again I recruited him and finally put him in charge of the castle he wanted.
I kinda wish you were able to assign him as warchief right from the start though
after i broke bruz i constantly shamed him until he died from ghuls which was somehow more humiliating and worse than my original plan, having a slave kill him
@@folpthecrowonce I was farming for a necromancer and my bodyguard olog decided to betray me. But he could have been potential necromancer as well, so I decided to recruit him for later. During one of my shamings to break his iron will he became fatally vulnerable to beasts as champion beast master (you already see where it's going). My next encounter with him, guy summons graug. Beast swings it's hand to punch me and sends that olog straight into stratosphere.
I do wish we were able to keep Bruz, or even Ranger. Just their unique voicelines were cool, but they had to make Bruz the tutorial Orc who teaches you about Recruiting, Sieges, Betrayal and Deranged Orcs.
Legit one of my favorite games of all time, love to see you playing more of it! I highly recommend the dlc focusing on the desert with the permadeath mode, it’s fantastic and has a lot of fun changes compared to the main campaign
Shadow of War is one of my favourite games of all time, it's criminal how underrated this game is
cause it changed things from the books like when minas ithil was destroyed, shelob is shapshifter, and the nazguls can die but someone takes their place
It would've been much more successful if its initial release hadn't been brought down by lootboxes and generally shitty monetization. Thankfully those were removed when it proved to be harming the sales, but the damage was already done.
@@vanillamapleice8866 yeah, it's such a shame that for many people that's the only thing they remember about this game, often even unaware it's been removed
@@vanillamapleice8866 i finished the game with the real ending before removing the loot boxes and enjoyed it
@@vanillamapleice8866fucking stupid that happened. I was disappointed when I learned the market would be cut off for me cause I'd need to pay for stuff (I couldn't at the time), but I didn't let let that ruin the entire game for me. The fact that such a thing damaged sales is ridiculous
I swear there is moments in this game where the A.I. just says “No F you. I’m done. FIRE EVERYTHING.”
And you suddenly get into an impossible fight with ever increasing odds.
Wish more games does that, really makes you feel like you are in a battle.
@@atomic747 it seemingly does it to an impossible degree that becomes unfair entirely.
@@AspieMemoiresSkill issue. I’ve done entire campaigns and never died once.
@@littlemoth4956 Lmao look at this dude coming at a 2 month old comment like some asshole who thinks he’s better than everyone. Lol
Bro the comment details the very odd moments sometimes in game, whether it was a bug or something getting flagged in the nemesis system.
But when playing on the hardest difficulty, the game will randomly just start throwing orc after orc after orc at you tell suddenly you have 5-10 high level warlords and captains and hundreds of grunts everywhere. And it just doesn’t stop no matter how many you kill or run away.
That’s more than skill issue little bud, that’s the game mechanics going haywire on players sometimes. Just because you didn’t experience it, doesn’t mean others got shafted randomly out of no where. Lol hell I’ve even Beaten the game without dying no dur yah dip. But I’ve also had these insane moments in the game of endless impossible odds.
Get fucked. Lol
Yes, i've been waiting months for this, one of my favorite playthroughs of yours.
I love this game. Shame that it never got the spotlight it deserved
It would've if they didn't add in lootboxes right from the get go, stellar game still
you have lootboxes to thank for that, by the time they stepped it back the damage was already done, great game though
@@smarmie8184people keeps complaining about that but you didn't even need those to get legendary orcs it was was even funny to hunt them than buy them in a chest
@@holow3038 indeed, but you can't deny that it's a pretty shitty tactic. Also, if I'm not mistaking it only became easier to hunt down legendary orcs after a few updates
@@azkar65 Heard the grind was crazy to get the actual ending before the updates and that probably also killed the hype for the game.
I have to thank you, I kinda forgot I even had these games. But watching you play through them reminded me how amazing they were so I re downloaded and started playing them from scratch since I pretty much forgot everything about how to play it. They're so satisfying. And it's amazing how much better they look even all these years ago than gollum that is a new release. Wild.
Thanks for playing this game it’s so fun to play and cool I wish it had co-op lol
Imagine its like darksouls. You get ambushed and your buddy pops up like
"Nuh uh"
@@ineedzemedic5810 lmaoooo I can definitely see that like “im down!” “NUH UH”
Yay, my all-time favorite channel, I'm doing more of my all-time favorite game. Thank you so much, kev!
Man i forgot how good this game was.
Keg your content is an absolute blessing in these dark times. God bless you
This is probably the funniest one yet! I was laughing the entire time! Youre great dude! Keep it up!
Idk why but this dude makes me laugh historically, I’m so glad I found this channel! I hope he makes more Mordor videos
its so great to see u playing this epic game again kev love your videos
God DAMN sir im glad you're back.
Always a blessing when kev has a 30 min video
I really enjoy whenever you play this game, it’s really funny and fun to watch
The video I’ve been waiting for all this time
i need more of this its addiciting
can’t wait for a another 6 months just for the final part!
LOL i just got this game on my steam deck and i also just found your channel yesterday. this algorithm is nuts.
I hope he gave Bruz the fort lmao
You know, it’s gonna be a good episode when he plays shadow of war!!!
you were way more merciful than me to bruz, i shamed him to level 1 and then hacked his head off in an execution after poisoning him, setting him on fire, cursing him, and then hitting him with my glaive for good measure, i was so angry i forgot i could call a graug to kill him because i unlocked that i just wanted him to be hurt and laughed every time i heard "ITS NOT MY FORT, IT WAS NEVER MY FORT"
Love your videos!
Always happy when you come back to Shadow of War such a great game.
This game is so great I’m so mad that they copyright d the nemesis system and then proceeded to never use it again it’s such a cool and unique system that’s just gone to waste, I hope one day they’ll at least make another sequel to this series in some way
I know the devs are making a Wonder Woman game with the Nemesis system that’s been used in the Shadow of Mordor games which got me excited
I would take a new game with new characters and story with the nemesis system. I could be faramir defending gondors front alongside Boromir. Or gandalf fighting the war against Sauron in the second age. Literally any other story would work, because its not the story these games rely on, its the nemesis system and its more than enough to carry a future installment no matter the hero, villians, or plot. Just give me more carnage and gore and betrayal and domination.
Only 12 years till the patent runs out then devs can go to work (hopefully) utilising it to its fullest potential
These are hands down the best.
"The beautiful New York."
"Stop having a shield you... Shield having guy!"
I laughed really dang hard.
Thank you for doing more sow
We need you to finish this game man!
Do more pls. Find a way lmao id love to see u play this to the end
If you want a fun experience, grab enough of the marauder set pieces to unlock the mirian (silver coins the orcs drop) boosting your damage effect. This effect can snowball into instakilling anything, especially if you find an oolog (big guy) with a gem above its head. Add white gems to your weapons to make enemies drop even more mirian.
Also the vengeance dagger, legendary from vendeta missions, gives full adrenaline (was it adrenaline? It's been too long, the bar that allowes you to do executions is what I mean) with quick throw every 20 seconds.
made me want to play this again, thank you
Oh sweet, time to wait almost another year for the next episode of shadow of war.
I want to see more of this
The thought of wrapping my palm around the face of an ape like Uruk or Olog and using magic to puppeteer,warp, and mangle to worm like innards of their mind to my will brings great joy to my heart
I love the shadow of war videos he makes
Please more of it!
I just want to see continue of your fun in shadow of war
That golem game was what it was like going from a bungee Halo to a 343 Halo 😭...... Pure depression
Completed this 3 times was obsessed with it 😂
I love Kev playing this game.. he was the main reason i got this game😁😁😁
More, this is the real precious!
The battle with the Balrog be like:
They fly now?
Pls more of this.
This content is always gold
Dude really needs to finish this game
Kev be like gotta recruit them all!
Glad to see another shadow video, bro i need canada dry.
I just played through again recently... Such a good game
One of the best games to have ever graced my monitor.
Pleeaaase continue this playthrough
My favorite Shadow of War UA-camrs are:
-Kevduit
-TearOfGrace
-BestAtNothing
-The Fabulous Crusty
shadow of war is the definition of live long enough to become the villain and i love it
I bought this game because of you Kev.. and i loved every minute of it😁😁
Not gonna lie. When he was talking about a betrayal at the beginning of the video, I was thinking about a completely different betrayal than Bruz's.
Continue this PLEASE
I NEVER get tired of watching Kev play (and clearly enjoy the shit out of) this game 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
YES FINALLY THIS ONE IS PHENOMINAL
Worth the playthrough. Great replay ability. The nemesis system is just so unique and makes the game stand out a lot used to play the shit out of his game like 4-5 years ago
remember folks they made gollum instead of another legendary game of this calibre
This is my favorite series, please do more or ill do something spooky
Something Spooky? Releasing Gollum 2?
@@frontalunfall5641 muahahahahaha 😈
23:28 Dude thats so cartoony I love it
i recently started playing this game again and god damn i love it so much
Also congrats on a million subscribers! 😊
Kev got me to try this game and it so good
Elf shot sounds like drugs everytime he refers to it
I love that I was able to actually get a plan maker cause that’s the only one you can get
I love returning to this game.
Beautiful NY… that got me going 😂
Please make more Bruz Lore videos!!!
Gollum just the most realistic hardcore experience ever you truly feel like gollum in every sense of the word that’s what people mean when it’s too realistic
Exactly and WHO WOULD WANT TO BE GOLLUM
I really want to see you finish this game
Half-ghost psychopath dictator. Best description of a character ever
Now THIS is the true return of the KING
please play more of this game
dont keep us waiting for another 8 months for the finale
There always a point of orchestrating battles to melt minds. Then iron will starts making manics, burnt and limbless foes come back and total chaos is everywhere. Its like a tism simulator
Ive been watching your past shadow of war vids and then you make another one!
More we must have more!
I love how we both did the same thing to Bruz but saying how he didn’t want a fort I made him an overlord considering that to be the ultimate punishment for him
Taker of heads lives up to his name😂
Wow. I JUST finished my 4th playthrough. Like 15 minutes ago. Sat down at the computer and found this.
I played this game when i was little and i still do but very rarely now since it gets boring after a time but overall i loved this game and its story although i do remember having a certain Olog who could raise the dead In Nurnen. Best times when i first got him from challenging other forts good to see it got this review and playthrough :)
Quick tip for dominating captains if you have a Might bar (the orange one) use The Consume skill to instantly dominante them
