Shadow Of War And All Of Its DLC Is 92% Off, So Now’s Your Chance To Ruin Sauron’s Day

Shadow Of War And All Of Its DLC Is 92% Off, So Now’s Your Chance To Ruin Sauron’s Day https://ift.tt/XKPN19O I miss it when movie or book tie-in games looked at the canon and said, “Nah.” Sometimes, taking something respected, well-known, and so beloved and deciding to completely demolish everything that had existed in favour of making something wholly original and unique is my cup of orc bone tea. Shadow of War is a canon-breaking beast of an action RPG that, years later, I still play regularly. And right now, you can get the game and all of its DLC for under $5. Sauron won’t know what hit him. Taking place after the events of the excellent Shadow of Mordor, Shadow of War takes the Arkham-style combat and turns it up to 11. However, the fighting wasn’t what made Talion and Celebrimbor’s adventure so engaging—it was the Nemesis System. That name may stand out to you, but it doesn’t do it justice.

Expendables 4 Review - They Made Another One

Expendables 4 Review - They Made Another One https://ift.tt/Vizl6C5

The Expendables franchise is out of step with the present. These movies are supposed to serve as homages to the silly, low-rent action movies of the '80s and '90s, when many of our biggest action stars made their names. But if this franchise wanted to keep going after a nine-year break, Expendables 4 (officially dubbed Expend4bles) needed a meaningful change to how it operates--something akin to how Bad Boys for Life added a welcome streak of self-awareness.

Amusingly, Expendables 4 borrows a number of elements from that third Bad Boys movie--like casting the actor who played that film's sub-villain, Jacob Scipio; an "old guy needs glasses" subplot with Dolph Lundgren; the addition of an entire group of younger-generation folks to contrast with the old hats; and a fighter who doesn't want to do any fighting because it's traumatic for him. Despite that, Expendfourbles doesn't manage any kind of self-reflection. It does, however, have about 20 minutes of really solid action that almost makes the film's remaining hour and change of excessively incoherent plotting worth sitting through. Almost.

This fourth Expendables movie sees the gang, led once more by Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) and Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), but without a lot of the past big names from the series, go up against a mysterious terrorist named Rahmat (The Raid's Iko Uwais), who is doing a pretty standard "steal a nuke to start World War III" villain plan. The Expendables try to stop him from stealing some fancy high-tech detonators, but things go wrong and they lose one of their own on the way to failing the mission.
