Noooo, nonononono. Overcoming obstacles feels good. Beating a challenge feels good. Getting pretty animations as a reward for your ability to press a button is just an illusion of a good feeling.
Is there at least a challenge in perfection? Like in Arkham, where winning a fight is not very hard, but doing so in style and truly dominating your enemies is.
It's more or less like Arkham and I don't find the fights to be cakewalks. If you're not careful, you can be ganged up by huge hordes of orcs but later in the game you can mind control them and make them fight each other and the finish off the leftovers.
It's a good game but not really worth all the hype. Gets boring after a while. The initial lustre fades unfortunately.
Yeah I'm doing the same. I'll wait until it's over 50% off before I consider buying it. £30 is too much for what you're getting.

That's my impression too (I haven't played just watched & listened to those who have). It feels a lot like those initially exciting but quickly tiring games we see too many of now... digital popcorn.
I'm waiting for 30% retail price I reckon, then we'll see if there's nothing else to do.
So I finally got to play this for a little bit.
Ran around a little bit in the beginning collecting some stuff (couple of artifacts, some plants and killed some spiders) and then I ran into a captain that was fighting this big troll thing (forgot the name). He tried to run but still got rekt by the troll. Then I ran into another captain and fought him. He almost killed me twice. Then another one showed up... and then another one. I fought all 3 at once and killed/KOd them, was a fun fight. Then I ran into a few more and killed/KOd them.
Combat overall is not terribly difficult but more difficult that the Arkham games, I must admit.
Nemesis system is interesting if a bit overhyped but I haven't explored its full potential just yet.

It takes time to open up is what they say.... I'm still waiting to play ;_;
Though Im really on the fence of getting the next Ass Creed game (even at a lower price, next year), I think Im gonna get this. Maybe not a masterìece, but it seems solid. 
Fun times...

Jim's spot on this time. What a joke. The solution is simple for youtubers - don't review or cover the game at all. If that's how they want to play then they can be ignored, and what these nimrod PR guys don't realize is gamers are putting more stock in youtubers than traditional media.
I just got to the second map/area after killing
Fun game, but it's easy to get burned out IMO... feels pretty samey so far.
The Tower of Sauron.
