I'm not one for platformers normally but this really does look fun with a capital F... or "Fun" in that case (no pun intended). I can see myself playing this on the TV with the Steam controller.

As an alternative to specifying how much was spent on games what about just a distinction between individually bought games and bundles? The biggest disparity must surely be there. I tend to think, rightly or wrongly, of a bundle as a single game purchase.

I probably paid more for Shadow Of Mordor than the previous two bundles combined (I don't tend to pay much for bundles I'm not that interested in or which only include one or two Linux games).

Just bought, immediately after reading this and I have a new monitor coming today as well - good times! Now I only have to sell a kidney or two and I can upgrade my graphics card :dizzy:

I absolutely love this game. I'm about 37% through but this is only because I've been too busy just having fun to be bothered with the actual story missions. I've just about cleared everything off the map though, so will have to continue with the story missions. I've unlocked all the abilities tiers and am only killing death threatened Captains to get legendery runes.

The "Storm Of Urfael" had me foxed for ages as I could find little info on it but I don't use it much anyway (press "2", then spam "f" for multiple executions).

Never been too keen on 3rd person view before but this has changed my outlook and I'll go back and play The Witcher 2 after this.

Quoting: melkemind

Quoting: rustybroomhandleShadow of Mordor runs very well for me, for example - the benchmark never dips below 60fps.

I'd definitely like to see proof of that, along with your specs, posted on the forum.

Regarding Feral's status as a good/bad porter, as you said, it's all relative. Some people are satisfied with performance lower than they'd get on Windows. Others aren't. And obviously, Nvidia users will be happier with them than AMD. It's all about your perspective and your expectations.

Apologies for being off topic but I have to add my 2p.... Shadow of Mordor runs absolutely perfectly for me - GTX 660, i7 4790k - medium settings, rarely below 60fps. And this is with Compiz, whereas with some games I switch window manger due to glitches with input or alt-tab freezes. No idea what performance is like in Windows but I couldn't be happier with it.

Quoting: Segata SanshiroI presume a "story-focused DLC" means more...

Excellent :D

Despite that I'll get it eventually but I'm already bogged down in games yet to be played and would like to see performance improvements first.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm very engrossed in Shadow Of Mordor at the moment, so this one's on the long finger for now.

Cheers Beamboom, think I'll move it nearer the top of the (ever expanding!) wishlist.

What's the performance like with this now? I have an i7-4790K and a GTX 660. I've been hanging off getting it in light of previous reports.

p.s. love the Welsh t-shirt ^_^

I stalked the dragon for many months and despite the razor sharp claws and fiery breath I still managed to hunt down my quarry.

And then we got married :whistle:
