Is Sup Forums ready for the pirate and cheater witchhunt to truly begin?

Shadow of War's lootbox system has already been cracked, think about what this means, think about how seriously this threatens publishers precious little lootbox system. Somebody getting a 60 dollar game for free? That's one thing. People cracking open a system that some people seriously spend thousands of dollars on? That's not gonna fly, people are gaming the system and getting away with it. The whales are gonna feel bamboozled because suddenly the illusion of value is broken when other people can just get it for free.

Get ready for even more draconian DRM's and publishers actively hunting people cheating in single player games

Paying customers are going to suffer the most, as usual.

like i give a fuck the goyim get whatever they get

I don't play western games and I advise you all the same

>buy and play superior Japanese titles
>pirate Marxist, money-grubbing Western garbage, IF I deign it worthy of my time
>Jew the Jews

i seriously hope nobody would be stupid enough to become a shadow of war "whale"

>Pirate copy includes unlimited lootbox crack because every game is now required by the publisher to have lootboxes
>Gameplay has been tweaked in such a way that lootboxes are borderline necessary to avoid months of grind
>Giving yourself unlimited lootboxes removes all challenge though and allows you to blitz through the game in minutes
>There's zero way of gauging what an "appropriate" number of boxes is, because the entire system has been structure to get people to buy as many boxes as possible

You'd be surprised at what autists and Saudi princes are willing to spend on shitty games.

I legit think this shit will be the death of enormous budget, AAA gaming

It needs to happen.

>What are pachislot machines.

Japs are already ahead of us.

I pirated and downloaded that game and just started playing 10 minutes ago.

I'm just sad

Even if you were removing the lootbox and all that dlc shit the game is just sad

It's like that now ? The state of mainstream gaming in 2017 is just rehash of the same bad game mechanics again and again from other succesfull (but bad) other AAA games ?

There really would have been no other way to play in the lord of the ring setting other than making another "X+X+X+Y" simulator ?

Fuck the mainstream gaming industries

>Months of grind
haha no.
As dirty and jewy the lootboxes are, you don't need to grind dozens of hours to get good gear since epic and legendary orcs spawn all the time. Lootboxes are only really necessary for the online mode where you permanently lose orcs in hardcore/ranked mode, so you'll need to replace those. That's probably where most people will be spending hard cold cash on this cancerous practice.

they literally need to all fail

Should've invested their money smarter.

>haha no.
how much are they paying you actually? they didnt accept me this time.

>hurr everyone's a shill
Pirate and play the game before talking out of your ass.

i dont want to play it tho. what now?

Its shame that no one created warhammer orks mod for this shit, tolkien orcs are boring as fuck

Stop talking out of your ass.

>Get ready for even more draconian DRM's and publishers actively hunting people cheating in single player games

Doubt it. It's pretty obvious that that's a bad investment and leads to turning people against you. Companies aren't as stupid as you think they are

Is the "premium" lootboxes cracked too? The ones that take real money to buy?

I used cheat engine for the ingame money on my steam version, hope I don't get banned.

But it doesn't matter since it only works with the silver boxes, the gold boxes require real money.

): but i dont want to play it..

>have to wait three hours for the game to finish downloading
is it worth it?

its a new era boring plays-itself game

i havent had any fun yet. mad max is 2 years old and was $7 and i started having fun immediately when i bought that the other day

feels like the same game, they all do now

can someone explain to me what these loot boxes are in this game? i pirated it and i've been playing for like 8 hours now and haven't really seen anything that would explain the need for them.

If you enjoyed the first one you'll enjoy this one. If not probably not.

Mad Max is boring as shit, at least Talion can actually jump and maneuver around the environment. Max is practically a cripple without a car.

Instead of doing fetch quests and repetitive dungeon raids, you can now spend imaginary or real cash for immediate gratification loot.

manuevering around the environment isn't fun or satisfying because its automatic. the combat is less fun because he does gay flashy sword shit instead of piledriving guys and breaking their necks 8 different ways

It's mostly meant for the ranked online mode where your Orcs die permanently when someone raids your fortress.

They want to normalize gameplay affecting lootboxes.

They know that if they mattered too much at first people would be put off, so they start off small.

...

>2007
>$60 game

funny joke lad

So the scum that enables these anti-customer practices suffers. Sounds fair to me.

>lootboxes
>in a singleplayer game

How many levels of unacceptable have we reached yet?

Just stop fucking buying games from the publishers that do this, but i bet even enough people from Sup Forums still actively buy their games and this game specifially.

You could be pirating a plethora of other games right now
>you chose this mediocre piece of shit game

>Witchunt for a game with no competitive multiplayer

I just hope this game sells like shit.

On top of being pawns for one of the greediest companies in both video gaming and movie industries, going from the likes of FEAR and Condemned to a Bam Ham/AC hybrid with LotR lore rape, Monolith is better off dead.

Say where did you pirate the game? If I may ask?

What the fuck are you babbling about you illiterate, incomprehensible, probably Russian drooling retard?

nah publishers get a shit ton of money anyway and they don't give a fuck about customers
you must be delusional if you think that they will care about people AFTER they bought the lootboxes

Your orcs don't die if they're defending. Only of you are attacking

I'm more annoyed that I never get any cool nemeses anymore. In act 1 I got fucking wrecked all of the time and I got so many cool orc nemeses, but now in act 2 I got nuthin'. I'm just destroying everything in my path and no orc ever comes back. It's really disappointing and sucks all the fun out of the game.

I think his point is that it makes him sad a AAA game like SoW is just a copypasta version of the previous game without innovation

This is wrong tho. The game literally improves on everything the old one has to offer.

>being so defensive about warner bros shit
>no arguments the post
jej so this is the power of a shill.

But that's retarded.
While it's true that it doesn't look completely like a new game, it changed and improved more things over the first one than most of the Batman sequels.
There's no reason to be "sad".
Personally I think it sucks that there aren't many new animations and that the graphics seem to have taken a hit.

Is this game any good? i kinda of enjoyed the first one for a good 10 hours. Did anyone else think the first game was really, REALLY hard? i play every single game i play on hard difficulty and usually get through without a problem but that game i hit a wall and couldn't beat any of the orc commanders, it was really hard for some reason. Do i just suck at video games?

Where is the unlimited lootbox crack?

I have the CODEX version, and I can't purchase lootboxes because I can't go online.

Does transferring your nemesis and follower from SoM to SoW work?
Both games are cracked.

You weren't taking out their bodyguards first, probably. If you don't assassinate the body guards, they show up during the fight, and you end up having to fight multiple bosses at once.

???
I'm almost certain I piledrived an orc the other day. There's like 100 different executions in the game or some shit, I keep seeing new ones.

Favorite so far is the one where he lops off both arms and then jams his sword into their spine, then yanks Hella hard to pull it through and cleave them in half.

Yeah i think that kept happening, i was fighting like 2-3 at once every time. or id fight a vody guard, they would flee and run right into another boss before i could catch up. Feel like i was fighting at least 2 bosses every time. It was one of those games where i kind of enjoyed how hard it was but at the same time it was repetitive and i knew it was a bad game.

Right but what's the gameplay like? improved over the first game or what? all your negatives don't seem that bad compared to what was wrong with the first one, i feel like im not getting an accurate portrayal of the games quality with this post.

I know
It's just I tried to make user's point more clear to understand, I didn't say he is right or not

Gameplay has basically been copy-pasted with a few new moves. Upgradeable skills have been fleshed out a bit. Nemesis system has been greatly expanded on.
It's basically just more Shadow of Mordor. If you enjoyed the first one you will enjoy this one.

They basically generate more orcs for you. The money only ones gurantee you'll get epic/legendary.
The ones you buy with mirrian give you a chance to get any quality orc. I've bought like 20 with mirrian and gotten 3 legendary and a handful of epic orcs.

But yeah you don't need them at all, especially not the money only ones. The only thing I can say that's sort of important in them that I'd like to see not just in lootboxes are the recruitment orders, which let you give specific upgrades to your orcs, say you have an orc enraged by fire, so you get an order to give a fire weapon to someone, boom now you have an orc who pisses himself off. Or you have an archer that you like, give him an olog gang and a caragor to ride. You can buy boxes that have those with mirrian, but I'd like to see a way to earn more in game outside of just getting mirrian to buy a box with one in em.

GRAVEWALKER!
ENOUGH OF YOUR JEWISH TRICKS!
SHOW YOURSELF, AND I WILL KILL YOU!

I don't know what all the commotion is about, reviewers said it was impossible to get ledendaries but not only do they drop like candy, there is a literal guaranteed ithilden quest in every zone that gives you a free legendary. I'm in act 2 and I have 4 level 25 legos, games been pretty fun so far

Sounds like an entertaining game that would be worth picking up on sale, no way i'd spend $60 on this, $15 max. Kind of sad i'm gonna have to wait like a year to play this. Still waiting on RE7 to drop in price too, this shit takes forever.

Why not just pirate it? I mean if you really feel compelled to buy it then I guess you can pay the 15 when it goes on sale but there's no reason not to enjoy it now

How the heck do you kill a captain with spiders or ghuls? I've seen pre-generated captains covered in flies, spiders and worms but I've no idea how to get any to look like that.
Also, does anyone know how the nemesis system works? Like what makes a guy come back from the dead?

Remember how you were already overpowered halfway through Shadow of Mordor?
That's what the lootboxes do in Shadow of War. They give you XP boosts and Gear that throws what little balance there is out the window only to make you overpowered so lootboxes will sell like hot candy to scrubs.

So imbeciles that support gambling with the lootbox system are getting fucked? GOOD

>being a pirate
i'm not an aids monkey

>how do I get a guy killed with spiders or ghuls
usually some captains have a weakness to things like those, but the actual way to do it is get them low health then lure them near ghuls or spiders and they'll die eventually
>what makes a guy come back from the dead
RNG

>Not just pirating those games
Or do you live in some 3rd world shithole like the US?

but user, if you're gonna buy it on sale, what's the difference, literally nothing is stopping you from paying for it when it goes on sale. It's not like devs care about whoever gave em $15 2 years later.
What difference does it make?

...

I didn't pirate this game but still glad it got cracked just to spite the lootbox apologists.

so what does "lootbox system has already been cracked" cracked mean? is it like free lootboxes or the fact that you dont need them

I think it's both. You have unlimited lootboxes but you also don't need them since you can just use cheat engine and trainers to enable god mode for your orcs or whatever.

What this guy said. Where is the lootbox crack? I don't see it anywhere and you can't even access the store.

but do you get the mithril lootboxes? the most powerful ones?

My computer can't run it anyway desu, i usually play games on my ps4. Even if i could i only pirate old games from dead studios who won't see the profit or continue making games i enjoy. There's something annoying about pirate niggers who just take whatever they want with no remorse and then justify it.

>Where is the lootbox crack?
There aren't any publicly released ones

I see. Dumb and poor. A bad combination.

I don't pirate, I actually bought the game because I'm scum. But I genuinely don't see a problem with pirating

But you're the piratenigger? I don't get it.

If they released demo's like they did back in the day I wouldn't have to pirate.
I pirate games to try them out before purchasing them because I've been burned too many times on games I bought at full price.

Favorite execution you guys?
I just lobbed a guy's feet off with one swing and he tried to crawl away so I pushed my sword through his back.

And here I am with money while you're poor AND dumb playing games on your Voodoo Graphics.
Really makes one think.

>im superior because i don't buy into consumerism! Why buy something like a good goym when i can steal it and play for free
>i see nothing wrong with this at all! you're the retard!

>immortalize developer in a shitty game that is a flagship for singleplayer lootboxes
Jesus christ, just pay for his funeral or something.
No need to shit on the poor guy.

How is piracy stealing when you don't own the game even if you buy it?

FORFEIT YOUR WALLET

I understand this, I used to do this. But a lot of the time I'd just play the whole game because I was like, eh whatever.

So I stopped doing it, now I just buy and refund if I don't like it. That and I just make sure I might want a game before I buy it by watching gameplay.

But yeah if I buy it then I won't beat it if I don't like it since I know I have a limited window to return it and my money is on the line. And if I do like it then I'll keep it.

Piracy isn't stealing though. Poor people really are dumb. Guess that's why they're poor.

Oh I wasn't that user, I buy games full price and just return em if they suck. I have enough money that 60 dollars won't make a dent in my wallet.

But yeah some people have the patience to wait for sales, and don't buy into the hype.

>There's something annoying about pirate niggers who just take whatever they want with no remorse and then justify it.
lol u mad cuck? guess what you cuck, I pirated both mordor and war. Lmao

every time. Didn't i say pirates justify it in my previous post? every single time.

I'll paypal somebody $100 if they find a fix for the mouse acceleration

In theory this is ok but in reality most people will just keep playing their pirated version and never buy it despite their intention. I've been burned A LOT too, i'm just really careful what i spend money on now, i don't buy full priced games, i wait until they're on sale and i make sure i watch videos of gameplay before i decide. I've played enough games over 15+ years and developed my taste enough to know what i'm going to enjoy and what i'm not.

I see no reason to buy lootboxes in shadow of war
No idea why people think you have to grind at any point

>tfw too intelligent to pirate

>tfw too intelligent to buy games

Yeah there's no point to them, at least not to the premium ones. The ones you can earn with mirrian can give you legendary and epic orcs/gear, it's just not guranteed. But you can earn mirrian so easily. I've bought like 30 or so boxes with just mirrian so far and have a ton of epic shit, and a handful of legendary.
