Sorry to burst your bubble but real Thanksgiving was yesterday.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

In Canada, Thanksgiving was last weekend.

Anyway that means I was on call to do an art day strip comic page jpeg image.

Of course the ugly little pedant in me now has to point out that the picture on display is a png image.

But it is a really nice image, I especially like the foreground Erin.

 

[ZZoMBiE13]

That looks great.

As much as I've enjoyed Shadow of Mordor, I can't help but with it was a Star Wars game instead. Shadow of Coruscant or somesuch. Shadow Striking with a Jedi, Saber Stealth, and rampant dismemberment... count me in if someone decides to make that!

Yep, once you get the flurry kill and throwing knives fully upgraded and know where the hunters are, no crowd of orcs is larger enough to stand against you. Good art and pretty much spot-on.

Forfeit your mind!

Shadow strike execution as depicted breaks the combat. lol Yes let me instantly murder 5 orcs, drain 2 orcs and repeat! Infinite chain kills XD

...And from almost all the way across the map. When I saw the range on that, my jaw dropped. Blink-stab-blink-stab-blink. Sauron doesn't stand a chance.

"Omae wa mo shindeiru."

I'd agree with that assessment, Cory. Though I don't think I'll play it myself since I saw Destiny take the combat apart on youtube. While it doesn't seem like there's much real substance, it seems to have put effort into looking & feeling the part. Glad you enjoyed it, anyway.

 

[Auberon]

But general consensus is that Erin had some burlap-sack-for-a-face, mad giggling Uruk nemesis and that is what matters.

 

[Davroth]

Beautiful. Just like the author envisioned it. Although, it's missing the part where the elf wraith explodes Uruk heads with mid powers. That was the best part!!

If anything, it certainly meets Yahtzee's quota for stabbing people.

It's like Monolith based this game off of his complaints about how un-assassiny all the recent Assassin's Creed games have been, by making a game that's ONLY about stabbing people.

Corvo from Dishonored would be jealous.

Fantastic work here, Corey! Maybe you should split off from Carter more and do your own thing.

If they actually did do something like this with Star Wars, I'd grunt with glee!

"Grunt with glee?" I've spent too much time around Uruks.

Seriously though? Star Wars NEEDS something this good with their games, they've dropped the ball pretty majorly the last decade or so, not to say there hasn't been anything good, just not anything exceptional.

OT: If you wanted to describe Shadow of Mordor, it's like Assassin's Creed and the Batman Arkham series put together, with more memorable bad guys thanks to the Nemesis system.

It's like the only good thing about the first Ass Creed game with the sandbox assassinations into a full game, and I love stalking my prey looking for the best route to stealth finisher or stealth brand a frickin' Warchief from above!

Yeah. I love playing off of one's fear to send him fleeing from the camp and then when he's far away from the others, using Shadow Strike to teleport up to him and grab him. That move is so awesome.

It's like, teleport, ***** slap, YOU ARE MINE!

I love Celebrimbor's lines when he dominates. Peek a boo, I see you!
