10 Biggest Video Game Complaints FIXED In DLC

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is the definition of a mixed bag within modern gaming. The gameplay is mostly terrific, with its innovative Nemesis system inspiring the majority of the missions and motivations for doing virtually anything. You can almost forgive its colourless non-Tolkien-friendly story just for that.

There's one thing you can't forgive, though, and that's that the final 'boss' against Sauron is a bloody quick-time event.

What the hell were they thinking here? It really says something that the Uruk captains you come to know during the game make more of an impression on you than the Dark Lord himself.

Fans weren't quiet about their disdain for this at all - and rightly so.

As luck would have it, their cries didn't fall on deaf ears. Over the next year, Monolith Productions released two DLC expansions, the second of which, The Bright Lord, takes you back 3,000 years ago, to the time of the forging of the Rings of Power.

Obviously, then, this gives you an excuse to kick Sauron in for real, and the epic fight goes on for multiple increasingly challenging stages.

It's definitely what we should have got the first time around. Some may argue that it's too little, too late, but at least it's there in some capacity beyond pressing X to not die.
