The idea was that the Nemesis system was so compelling that it would discourage gamers from trading it in at retailers.

usually I get annoyed by "(beloved thing) is actually not that good" backlash but fr, "The Nemesis System" takes up so much rhetorical space for a thing that's, like, fine

It would probably be able to be improved if they allowed other people to use it instead of just letting it rot in the vault

Maybe I’m cynical and jaded but the nemesis system never felt that meaningful or impressive to me. Like, it’s a neat idea that could’ve turned into something, but in Mordor I felt like I was instantly seeing behind the curtain.

imo its more that its a really cool concept that can easily be expanded upon in many ways but that will never happen due to the patent, hence the frustration

it was cute but whenever i play these huge AAA style games its always like, a low bar to begin with, and when they add in a little extra seasoning its suddenly like wow this drive thru burger is really great all of a sudden. sriracha mayo in my taco bell quesadilla

that being said, and the analogy continues here, i have not been to taco bell in quite some time, and i don't have any firm plans to revisit it

Is this article seriously just saying that they tried to make the game good so people would want to keep it

if only anyone had been allowed to use the system and iterate on it to make it better
