Can someone tell me if there is more motivation to this game later on? I am not into the story at all. The combat is wonderful and the nemesis thing was fun for a while but it is getting way repetitive

[BuddyAwesome]

Man, if you just do the story missions this game goes by real quick...

[TKz]

Yeah. I think I was mostly done with them after like 5 hours. But if you're skipping out on playing with the Nemesis system and trying out the side missions, you're missing out on the most enjoyable parts.

[Your Mom]

Well it happened. I'm stuck again. Yay fucking video games!

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

What part are you on?

[Your Mom]

The Dark Captain or whatever he's called

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

I'm not sure I remember which one that is have you reached the second area yet? If not, I know who you're on about.

[Ruki]

The Dark Captain or whatever he's called

I'll beat it for you when the Share Play thing comes in next week.

[BuddyAwesome]

I did a lot of side stuff and Nemesis. I think I'm going to try and platinum this now. Freeing the slaves whole riding the coragor might be tough though.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Yeah, that one looks the biggest challenge. I'm most of the way to platinum, gotta do a load of slave freeing missions and get a Level 25 rune, and I think that just leaves one or two side things.

The Dark Captain or whatever he's called

I'll beat it for you when the Share Play thing comes in next week.

Cool! But if I try again is there a good strategy? The fight kind of fucks with my strategy throughout the whole game. I've been stealthy dagger and bow guy and the orcs even talk about how I always strike from the shadows and now for some reason I'm all "Fuck yeah! Let's do this face to face!" It's annoying

[Ruki]

I don't actually remember the fight. I think I just countered, then mashed on attack.

Beat the game!

gotta love the final boss fight being a quick time event. And having control of am orc army? The way they went about it didn't make me feel too powerful or amazing.

I think I am too lazy to go for all the collectables. But the Nemesis system? Super cool. I hope to see it more in the next few years.

[Liam]

Bought it. Any initial tips to get me going, as it does somewhat throw you straight into action?

Research your enemies first. Nothing more annoying than jumping into battle with a Captain and not being able to figure out how to damage them.

[Liam]

Is that through Intel?

I also finished this last night. This was a lot of fun but I don't see it having much replay value. I am sure there will be a few DLC expansions but I don't think I will end up playing them. This was a lot of fun in that it wasn't particularly hard, and was easy to pick up after work and just as easy to put back down before bed.

I am going to trade this and Watch Dogs in today for something. I am not sure what though -- got to find something to hold me over until the next big wave of releases hit.

Fifa.

You play Wolfenstein, GRIFT? For my money, it's one of the few decent story based shooters in years. The story is bonkers, but in a good way. What else would you expect from Space Nazis?
