IGN gave it a 9.3. It has and 84 rating on metacritic with 24 reviews. Might just have to be a Day 1 for me.

I will wait for player feed back. I want to play it but not buying in yet.

Give them a break they are worried about the possibility of UT spanking that arse tomorrow.

Look at the meta critic score and it's only that low cause of a couple of reviews. Most of them are a lot higher.

I was undecided but the reviews really swayed me to go ahead and order it.

From someone that has the game early:
quote:
After 10+ deaths against the same fricking enemy, I finally managed to kill him today. The fricker was immune to most of my attacks and always had a pack of orcs with him whenever I met him. I've met him several times since the start of the game and never managed to kill him.
I've honestly never held such a grudge against a video game character before. He has leveled from 5 to 20 and caused me so much problems.
I spent 3 hours this afternoon, killing off his captains and leveling up, just to be absolutely butchered when I gathered the courage to attack him again,
Then I interrogated an informer and learned that he fears Caragors (the bear/hound things) and that he's susceptible to stealth kills.
So I tamed a beast and let it loose inside his camp after tracking him there, watched as he fled, and followed him at a distance.
When he was alone on a cliff, I snuck up behind him and slit his throat.

That sounds awesome, as long as there is enough variability.

I hope that the difficulty is geared more towards Demon/Dark Souls and not just cheap deaths.

Destiny better step their game up.

I'm probably about to take a Destiny break to play this game.

Someone with the PC version:
quote:
Alright.
Ultra-Textures are not available yet, so the PC Gamer Vid only uses "High".
I doubt even the ultra-textures will use 6 Gigs on 1080p however - High uses 2.7 Gigs but with downsampling from 2720 x 1700 @ 1920 x 1200. Reason because I didn't try 1080 is because Mordor recognizes my downsampling-resolution as native and will only use percentages of that- so instead of 1080p I'll get some really weired ones like 1927 x 1187 or something like that (and I can't be arsed to fix it right now).
There is however a ingame-supersampling option so you can set the internal rendering to 200 % and will get effectivly 4K-Res while still being in 1080p. If I'd use that coming from 1080p instead of 1700p I'd wager you'd be around 3 Gigs. So the recommendation seems plausible.
So with Ultra-Textures taking somewhat more VRAM and Supersampling enabled, 4 Gigs might be just not enough, making the jump to 6 Gigs logical. - Remember: With Supersampling you're effectively running 4K not 1080p. Coming from there, I'd wager you'll be absolutely fine with 3 Gigs running this game with everything set to ultra, including textures but disabled supersamping.
It also runs very nice. Everything set to ultra except textures and downsampling I get an average framerate of just over 60 with some minor drops to ~50. Setting this to 4K, I still get 45+ with a R9 290X. This is an Nvidia-sponsored game, so Geforce-users will probably be at least slightly higher than this with a similar performing GPU (GTX 780- 780T i, Titan, GTX 970)
I'll test that more in-depth at some point next week, so we'll see.
So much for not opimized.
So don't get your panties in a bunch ;-)
