Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor

new to this game but after a few of the main missions I have to say its the most addictive game I have ever played lol also love that you can actually play a quick game when you just wanna waste some time and battle a few captains etc.
 
I like the game but, despite I like being challenged, I find very frustrating the fact that the difficult level cannot be changed and that if you die enemies get even more difficult to beat...

It must be me not getting something... I like Monolith since the "Blood" series.

If you need to level up a bit, you can either do a few plot missions, hunt some of the extras (herbs, hunting, artifacts, rescue slaves) or have a look at the army screen, find some lower ranked (bottom edge of screen) orcs and go kill them. Interrogating worms can help you find out which are weaker/have easily exploited fears/vulnerabilities.

I'm finding the same. I think of all the singleplayer games I've played this year, Shadow of Mordor is the biggest time-sink - by a significant margin too. Admittedly I haven't picked up a ton of games this year, let alone starting all of the ones that I have, but it's my GOTY no question.

Also, with me being a lot busier during the second half of 2014, it is certainly handy how easy it is to just boot the game up and take it for a quick spin without having to invest any level of commitment. I presume the game saves upon any collectable, captain or warchief kill, side or main mission, fast travel, or death (so any event really) because I've never lost data or my position on the world map by exiting abruptly.

In contrast, something like The Evil Within I found myself quitting after every other save opportunity because I never knew when the next one would be if I was time-limited (part of the issue with this game was frequent failure-states - but I could just be bad at the game :p).
 
any cfg tweaks to do ? SLI is alright but a bit tanky at some points, feels like the game is hardly using my CPU. being locked at 100fps is a bit annoying..


Going to NEED to do something, after a while of being in combat with lots of orcs the game slows down and crashes to desktop eventually. Vram constantly using 4077mb from the start so don't think its that.. just not sure :(
