Overblown anyway didn't make a difference

 

[Linchpin]

They deliberately made the latter stages of the campaign a grind to try to drive people to buy the microtransactions. It's really next level corporate apologism to try to claim "it made no difference".

Then you didn't play the game and are just on the hatewagon.

No I'm just not in denial like you are. There's not yet been a lousy business practice invented that you didn't love and loyally defend.

This is something that's been widely reported by both reviewers and users. So don't. Just don't.

No need to start an argument here. Whether or not you think the game's final section was too hard is a matter of opinion, just be happy that a solution is in the works that should please a greater majority of gamers

I for one enjoyed playing Shadow of War, the game runs well and it offers a lot of improvement over the original. While I don't like how the game used microtransactions it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the game.

Exactly you did not play the game then. You're just a bandwagoner

You don't need. I did not even use it. You can buy stuff with silver which mind you you get so much for doing during the "grind phase" that you can buy tons of stuff. Or actually you know play the damn game and send followers on missions.

So instead of trying to get personal because that's your basis for most arguments actually do the stuff you hate so much instead of being a keyboard warrior

This is something that's been widely reported by both reviewers and users. So don't. Just don't.

I will and did. Most of those came before the game even launched. So no I will not listen to a review of something of which that person had no idea of what the game was like. I actually played and beat the game. It wasn't hard or anything without premium currency

I did play the game. You'd have to be an idiot or in denial to think the presence of microtransactions had no impact on how the latter stages of the game were designed. That's entire reason why they're changing that part of the game now that they're removing the microtransactions. Even WB have realised their mistakes yet you're still desperately white knighting for them. If anyone here is a "keyboard warrior" it's you sunshine.

 

[NeverBackDown]

You can have your opinion even if it's wrong. It had no impact and if you needed it that badly you should have dropped difficulty.

Not white knighting for them. You can think so. There are many issues I have with the game but this isn't one of them.

Keep up the lame insulting though. Shows how thoughtful you are and how you respond to others when they don't agree with you

Nothing to do with difficulty and everything to do with artificial grind added for a single purpose but keep trying to spin it. First it was "you didn't play" now you're trying to imply people thought it was too hard.

As for my opinion being wrong that's quite something coming from someone who nobody agrees with on this topic not even the company they're so staunchly defending.

Shows how thoughtful you are and how you respond to others when they don't agree with you

This type of line is much better when it doesn't come from a high and mighty know it all such as yourself. But I get it, you don't like it when people actually call you on rubbish you spout around.

 

[NeverBackDown]

I don't know everything. Never claim to. The company is only apologizing because they have to. Notice how they kept the system in until the game is out of public opinion. Now they drop it. When nobody is even playing. You're point here is not even relevant.

The point is you didn't need to use it. In fact you could even earn them for free everyday. There was no point in putting it in but they did but at least it could all be earned for free by just playing.

If you thought the game was to hard. Then the difficulty is the problem. Buying special orcs would not help. But if you actually played it like you should have you would know that. Relying on the AI to save you all the time is not how you play. It was a rare occurrence.
Dropping difficulty would help keep you alive and not let the enemy orcs get stronger. But that also defeats the purpose of using the loot system. Because you would need it even less. So tell me where it was you felt like you needed it?

You can claim whatever you want but you haven't given a single example of when you seriously felt like you needed it other than "it was out there for a reason and whatever you say means nothing". That's not an argument that's just whining about it and disagreeing for the sake of doing so.

Again you are the only one here insulting. You constantly attack because you don't have a strong argument and that's what people do these days.

So mind yourself if you can't bother to talk about something without insult. You are as far as I know more than double my age yet the way you try to form your argument you sound as if you are a teenager.
