Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™

I'm playing videogames for around 30 years now, but this is ridiculous. This game does not even let you rebind your keyboard controls. Since I never go with WASD, I played with the Xbox Controller. This didn't help, because this game is the most boring always-press-the-same-button-masher of all time. Alone the start from the game is so extremely uninspiring it hurts. Uninspring on a level with Painkiller. The first boss fight or whatever that was - nah, I'm out. And this comes from a guy that absolutely loved the combat in the Batman games and Mad Max. The graphics look more boring and bland then games from 2007. In exactly what went all those 130-ish gigabytes of data?

I was excited to pick this up on sale but I am getting 20FPS on a 3080/5800X, and nothing is fixing it. Recomeneded Ultra settings should be at 130. Something terribly wrong and not worth my time to figure out.

Not sure whos to blame (game devs or gog) but the game only runs in 1080 and 4k, pretty ridiculous for a 2017 AAA game. Aside from that the game is quite good and you'd enjoy it if you liked Shadow of Mordor

The online mode is stripped out of the GOG version. There should have been a mention of that on the store page. You can find videos of the main menu for the Steam version, and on it, they have an extra option called "WB Play" and it also has cycling banners when it's connected to online. This version does not have the banners nor does it have WB Play. I can only assume WB used Steam for matchmaking and was too cheap to bother with servers for other platforms. I wouldn't have bought it if I had known this beforehand. Really dissapointed.

Absolutely do not buy the GoG version; it is a totally inferior mess. GoG is so lazy that, unlike the steam version, 1440p resolution is not available. I think I might be done with GoG after such an underhanded and deceitfully greedy move on their part.
