I just got off the phone with a developer. Act 4 was added on because all their tester's biggest complaint was after 50 hours of solid A+++ content they wanted more, so they put in sandbox fortress fights at the end.

All the lootboxes were just tacked on at the end by the same moron who thought having paid DLC for dead developers was a good idea.

If after all this trolling I find out you're actually putting serious hours into this game you'll need to be checked into a mental institution.

If someone could place a body cam on Tuco while this was happening I would pay for it. Monthly.

Why the game is fun. And just YouTube the act 4 ending if you want.

This is a great argument.

"Here is our game boys and girls, to get the true ending, you will need to go through this endless grind or use our cash shop - it accounts for 25% of the total game you paid for, and will be a pain in the ass. So just play through our bullshit ending and then go to youtube for the rest. And for our next game, we will just throw this in everywhere. Buy our $59 game, make a character with our sweet character creator (By the way did we tell you you can buy outfits for your character on our online shop?) it's a really innovative character creator. Once you are done making your character, uninstall the game (Please don't sell it to Gamestop we need people to buy new) and just watch the story on Youtube."

THERE ISN'T A BIGGER ROLL EYES ICON I COULD USE FOR THIS POST OF YOURS! So this will have to do.

Why did you restart? You can change difficulty on the fly.

Finished act3, it's been fun fighting balrogs and the nazghul for 30 hours.
I have done two defences in act 4. I find them fun, but I like the wb batman combat. No question the Transition from 3-4 is odd and feels tacked on.

How many defence stages are in act 4 anyway?


If act four did not exist I would still say this game was worth full price 1-3 are worth it Imo. I bet if they said it ended with act 3 and the rest was jus the post game stuff the game would have been better received.

Perception is a mofo.



If you liked the first one you will like this one. Pick it up next month, undoubtedly this will be discounted on Black Friday

Heh, I was trying to go too fast and had a Legendary Captain that butchered me like 8 times before reseting - I think I'd leveled him to over 30 at that point. It was as much to get rid of him that I was finding impossible as it was to adjust the diff.

I wasn't counting, but it felt like 20. I know they say before each, but eyes were glazing over at that point.

If act four did not exist I would still say this game was worth full price 1-3 are worth it Imo. I bet if they said it ended with act 3 and the rest was jus the post game stuff the game would have been better received.

Agree 100%

I can tell you right now it would have been a day one purchase for me had they not had the cash shop with a tacked on Act 4. So instead, it goes to the bargain bin where they will see the least amount of money for trying this garbage.

Yup ditto I was really looking forward to this and maybe would even crack if we were in a release desert right now, but there's so much gaming shit out right now it'd be silly not to push this back until a sale.

I've been buying up tons of PSVR games but I was still going to buy this, beat it, and trade it in because I enjoyed the first one. No need to rush though, I have plenty of shit to keep me occupied until this thing hits the bargain bin. Maybe I'll buy it used so these dbags don't get any money from me.

I echo the fact that this was a day one purchase for me, as I love the first one. Cash shop shut that down. I will wait until this goes on clearance. It's really sad.

I was going to buy it too. It was $48 on GMG, but the entire cash shop bullshit nixed that idea. I'll wait for it to be $5 in a year.

I played the first game for about 2 hours today (PC) and man i just really can't get into it at all, the trash enemies are everywhere and the map is so goddamn big and just filled with Ubisoft style towers and collectibles. I regret buying the second game already, if I can't even get into the first game why would I play the second.

I sorta like the story and maybe will just power through the main campaign with one more try tomorrow, but I've never been a huge lord of the rings guy

Man this game is amazing. I'm almost done with the first act. Everything the orcs say is pure gold and clever and the only thing I wish was different about the speeches was that they were shorter and LESS skippable.
