The Nemesis In The System (AVAILABLE AGAIN)

NOTE: The video is back up after some re-edits!


Did you know the Nemesis System from Shadow of Mordor was developed to combat the perceived scourge of used games? Warner Bros. is very silly, but at least its ridiculous paranoia led to a great gameplay mechanic... that Warner Bros. systematically ruined. Publishers are the enemy of videogames.

Patenting a game system only to never use it again is like filming a movie and never releasing it.

I’d never heard of Mass Effect until I found it in a used game section and thought it sounded interesting. I was so hooked I pre-ordered ME2 and ME3 (Collectors Edition) as soon as they went on pre-order sale and all the DLC for both. I also bought Andromeda and the Legendary Edition. But I bet EA still only care about the tenner I paid for that used copy of ME1 that they didn’t see any of.

I was halfway through the video, paused to help a customer, and couldn't resume. Guess I'll be waiting until it's back up, then.

I think The Commander just got Zazzed. Warner Brothers has been rabid about everything their tied to, even issuing takedowns on trailer reactions.

Yup, lol. Almost certainly WB making a bogus copyright claim via Youtube's corpo friendly AI.
