Maybe this is all different for fans of The Lord of the Rings. Like a shadow, you can see it, but it has no substance. I don’t really know why I’m doing anything that I’m doing. I don’t care about the goals of these characters. Shadow of Mordor.Īs exciting as the emergent stories that pop out of Monolith’s nemesis system are, Shadow of Mordor’s actual narrative is very lacking. Remember how in fantasy books you have to remember a lot of names and places and vague character motivations? Yeah. Remember how in everything that one guy is tormented by the murder of his wife and child? Shadow of Mordor has that covered. Hey, remember how in The Lord of the Rings movies they have that Gollum creature and one character really hates and distrusts it and the other is willing to give it a chance? Yeah. And I have to acknowledge that your experience in this dynamic game could end up so completely different from mine that you’ll never end up with an issue like this. I would never feel this strongly about a game one way or the other if I didn’t love what it is doing at its core. I’ve gone on about this for a long time, and I bet you’re assuming that I hate Shadow of Mordor based on the way I’m writing about it. But I don’t. All it does is pull the floor out from underneath the climax of my emergent story, and it is a new kind of backtracking. I think maybe the idea was to create the possibility for a longer back-and-forth relationship between your character and powerful enemies, but it doesn’t work. We have a name for this, it is called “sunk cost” or “loss aversion.” It’s the natural human response to losing something, and it means that going forward, all I’m going to think about are the hours I spent trying to kill Tumug that didn’t amount to anything. Killing Tumug felt wonderful, but this sense of accomplishment doesn’t even close to the disappoint I felt at having that success ripped away. I’m a human being, and humans hate losing things once they earn them. It’s only fair that the bad guys get a second (or third) chance as well. Hell, my character comes back from death over and over. And in the reality of the game, it makes sense.
Entertainment Inc.Here’s the worst part: This isn’t a bug (I thought it was at first).Īs it turns out, I did kill Tumug that first time in the epic battle. He just has the ability to come back. MONOLITH LOGO, WB GAMES LOGO, WB SHIELD: ™ & © Warner Bros.
