Great isn't it. So dark.

Yeah it's looking awesome. Can't wait to play it!

Shame the original music cannot make it into the game?

With the game looking so stunning and the scenery... Though montage footage will do well for this.

I finally got round to playing this again on PC, played through the whole mission and loads of side stuff, at 4k and 60fps, it was amazing fun, this is a definite purchase for me now and even though you can get it cheaper from steam than the windows store I will get the Xbox version for Play Anywhere,
I think play anywhere is worth a few extra £,

I agree. Play Anywhere is awesome for PC+XBOX owners.

Who was your nemesis? I love how these games the battles and stories are unique. Sure it is the same end goal but it was their own journey getting there.

Replaying Shadows at the moment, licking my chops at the next game. It looks superb!

Just saw about this on Reddit.

Ridiculous!

Stewy · 6 Aug 2017 at 15:03

never been a fan of RNG-style chests for loot

I was going to pre order this.....abit put off now. Was starting to think micro-transactions in big console games was becoming a thing of the past.

I dont care, and frankly a bunch of you-tubers doing their outrage of the week videos for views, and people bitching on reddit isn't going to effect me buying this.

Same as shortcut packs in other games (Battlefield has done it for ages, Burnout paradise did it), If you want to take a shortcut and ruin the game for yourself then you can, I dont and wont.

Still looks like an amazing game.

Move on to the next Faux shock and horror news item, "wont somebody think of the children"

It just cheapens the feel of a game imo. As soon as an ad or something to buy is in the menu it just feels janky to me

Saw this news and decided to put this game in the "I'll get it for sub £5 on Steam" list. Shame as I enjoyed the first but not supporting this shoddy practice.

This is my feelings on it as well, doesn't bother me.

I'm sure it'll still be a great game, micro transactions or no micro transactions.

I had no idea the cast. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3330488/

Talion sometimes sounds like Mark Strong.

LOL? Murdoch was in Shadow of Mordor...

latest stream from the devs states,

Game can 100% be played offline,
Game is balanced to not involve the marketplace at all,
INvasions from players can not make you lose stuff,

So looks like the drama was all as expected clickbait youtube drama.
