I did some more Orc killing. I'm not enjoying this game quite as much as its predecessor, and I can't see any reason why, it is as good as or better than Shadow of Mordor in every way. I guess the gameplay doesn't have the staying power I had hoped for.

I reinstalled this and tried to get back into it. Man, there are a lot of systems and collectibles and things to go for. I'm somewhat confused.

I reduced the difficulty to Normal and completed Act I. I can't seem stream to YouTube in high quality 720p from my PS4 today, so to record gameplay I use the built-in recording, which maxes out at 1 hour. I then set an alarm for 50 minutes and wrap up when it rings, and then save the video and upload it. Extremely annoying.

I single-handedly fought a giant battle at an outpost, and ultimately won, defeating 3 orc captains.

I just realized that the problem of not being able to stream this game in high quality is not due to network problems, but due to a limitation imposed by this specific game. I'm going to try streaming in the highest quality it allows, and see what it looks like, which should be less frustrating than recording 1 hour videos with an alarm clock. :/

After talking to Mikkel and Erik about how much I enjoyed the original game, I installed and played a bit more of this. I still don't understand the top-level structure of the game, but at least I'm clearing a map and killing Orc captains, and enjoying it.
