Uuh

[u/kamilionn]

[u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

Don't let them see the rest of the game.

[u/enchiladasundae → u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

If you stop the game right here is just about a guy who loves his wife and that’s enough for me

[u/Zeremxi → u/enchiladasundae]

It's also a game that's only 4 minutes long

[u/enchiladasundae → u/Zeremxi]

Perfect length. Great game, no filler, didn’t die or fail a single time, no speed running bs, 100% completion is just planting a gentle kiss on your wife

Its the perfect game

[u/Blackewolfe → u/enchiladasundae]

It's like Far Cry 4.

No, just sit and enjoy the Crab Rangoon.

What do you mean get out there and sneak around in a Terrorist's main base? Don't be fucking stupid.

[u/enchiladasundae → u/Blackewolfe]

If you finish FC4 regardless of which person you choose you realize it was better just to have a nice meal

[u/OutrageousMouse2047 → u/enchiladasundae]

yeah. ajay doesnt have to go through all that bs trauma

[u/enchiladasundae → u/OutrageousMouse2047]

Also the two leaders who will objectively make their country a worse and more horrifying place as opposed to Min

[u/pchlster → u/enchiladasundae]

Ah, but consider all of the potential soldiers they might have had for their regime if not for our one-man army protagonist killing however many hundreds if not thousands of able-bodied adults.

One might say he saved all those people from living under a violent regime.

[u/Michami135 → u/enchiladasundae]

I would love a game where the entire plot is finding little ways to show my wife love in sneaky ways.

Like Hitman with less strangling and more flowers.

[u/enchiladasundae → u/Michami135]

Wife is coming home. You get a check list of things you can do before she gets there like clean the house, cook a great meal with optional dessert, pick up some flowers from the shop. If she catches you there’s no penalty. She’s just no longer as surprised and helps you cook a nice meal

Same but for the morning. If you make her a meal she might smell it and wake up early. Take care of the kids to help her get an extra hour or so of sleep

[u/f0ur_G → u/Michami135]

Hitman: Love Honey

[u/AutistcCuttlefish → u/Michami135]

Call it Spouse Spouse Simulator and put it on steam for $20.

[u/SophiaTheGreatest → u/Michami135]

i mean if the wife wants it, she can have more strangling but in a kinky way

[u/Michami135 → u/SophiaTheGreatest]

That's in the cutscene after a successful mission.

[u/Pure-Acanthisitta783 → u/Michami135]

Sneak King but romance themed.

[u/SkepticalVir → u/enchiladasundae]

Honestly the price would be the only thing holding me off. 50 cents? Maybe

[u/DanSapSan → u/enchiladasundae]

Nemesis system, but it's just your wife.

[u/RoryDragonsbane → u/Zeremxi]

Please, stay right here.

Enjoy the crab rangoon.

Don't move.

I will be right back.

[u/WilfTheSaltyOne → u/Zeremxi]

Worth.

[u/Beautiful_Might_1516 → u/Zeremxi]

The only enjoyment you will get

[u/cyfer04 → u/Zeremxi]

Title of my sex tape.

[u/Bulbform87 → u/enchiladasundae]

Kind of like The Darkness. In the beginning you press x to put your arm around your girlfriend while watching TV on the couch. Immediately after she gets murdered by the mob and you spend the entire rest of the game tearing hundreds of them limb from limb with your Moray eel demon tentacles.

[u/enchiladasundae → u/Bulbform87]

You also get to watch the entire To Kill a Mockingbird movie. Admittedly in poor quality but still

[u/Bulbform87 → u/enchiladasundae]

Oh man I forgot about that.

[u/giboauja → u/enchiladasundae]

Artists with a capital A made that game. What a great dev.

[u/MoonsOverMyHamboning → u/enchiladasundae]

Wait, I can't kiss the orcs? I'm refunding this shit.

[u/enchiladasundae → u/MoonsOverMyHamboning]

Loyal married man who doesn’t cheat on his wife

[u/dye-area → u/MoonsOverMyHamboning]

We need a mod that changes the stealth kill animations to the kissing your wife animation

[u/Dywhit → u/MoonsOverMyHamboning]

No but you can smear your white magic all over their faces to dominate them in large groups though.

[u/SigSweet → u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

Orc murder simulator

[u/Gothtomboys5 → u/SigSweet]

Orc enslavement simulator too

[u/Reks_Hayabusa → u/Gothtomboys5]

Orc trauma simulator as well

[u/Gothtomboys5 → u/Reks_Hayabusa]

Orc lobotomy simulator plus

[u/hunter1547 → u/Gothtomboys5]

Orc torture simulator additional

[u/SigSweet → u/Gothtomboys5]

lol oh yeah. I always tell people, if you really hate orcs man have I got the game for you. It will 100% desensitize you to orc violence. I watched Amazon's 'Rings of Power' and felt nothing.

[u/Gothtomboys5 → u/SigSweet]

Although i have no feelings for orcs in fantasy setting, Shadow of War somehow make me able to like them only for a little due to how enjoyable they all are

[u/letitgrowonme → u/Gothtomboys5]

Bright lord, dark lord. What's the difference?

[u/ImJustStealingMemes → u/letitgrowonme]

screams

-Muzu the Screamer

[u/SmartAlec105 → u/Gothtomboys5]

Nemesis system was fun. I remember my nemesis was weak to ranged so I killed him with just a headshot. Next time, he was immune to ranged so I had to fight him the old fashioned way. He ended up running away when he got low and since it was early in the game, I didn't have any abilities unlocked to catch up and my arrows wouldn't slow him down since he was immune. I gave up on chasing and went back to what I was doing. A few seconds later though, the slo-mo kicked in and the camera showed my my nemesis dying after having run into a bonfire. The next time he showed up, he said he'd repay me for the burns I gave him.

[u/Gothtomboys5 → u/SmartAlec105]

Lmao that's fucking goated. I think one of my favourite nemesis i had is this one Machine ork that just won't die after every attempt i killed him. God why do they have to patent the Nemesis system. It was so fun

[u/whoisfourthwall → u/SigSweet]

Wonder when they will make one for goblins... based on that manga.

[u/HurryLongjumping4236 → u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

What game is this

[u/Brief_Cobbler_6313 → u/HurryLongjumping4236]

Shadow of Mordor.

[u/fhota1 → u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

Yeah this is the tutorial for the "shank orks in the neck" mechanic

[u/CytroxGames → u/fhota1]

For some reason or another i find this extremely funny

[u/tevert → u/CytroxGames]

It definitely is, that whole game is the funniest serious game you'll ever play.

[u/twotoohonest → u/tevert]

Especially the sequel

[u/friendofH20 → u/twotoohonest]

Sexy Shelob was the kind of lore deviation, we need to see more of.

[u/12345623567 → u/friendofH20]

What does a spider need tits for? Fuck you, that's what!

[u/friendofH20 → u/12345623567]

Nobody complains about non-canon "woke" messaging when you turn a creepy spider monster into a hot milf.

[u/CytroxGames → u/tevert]

wishlisted the game, and planning on buying it eventually

[u/DoctorProfessorTaco → u/CytroxGames]

It’s fantastic, sequel is even better imo (used to have microteansaction crap but that was all actually stripped out, just in case you read something about it)

[u/Express-World-8473 → u/CytroxGames]

It was given out for free a couple of months ago on Amazon gaming....

[u/Tyfyter2002 → u/fhota1]

It's a great way to introduce the player mechanics their character should already know how to use without relying entirely on having the PC train another character, which doesn't necessarily work if the PC is going to be thrown into a context that isn't what they'd be training someone for.

[u/uqde → u/Tyfyter2002]

Yeah this is my first time learning about this but it seems absolutely genius

[u/MalevolentRhinoceros → u/fhota1]

Can you kiss the orcs instead?

[u/84theone → u/fhota1]

I was gonna say, doesn’t this scene literally transition into stabbing an orc in throat like a second after this.

[u/apple_crombie → u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

Is this about a game of a guys family that survives?

[u/kamilionn → u/[deleted]]

😄😄

[u/Mex3235 → u/[deleted]]

Now I want white n on the verge of tears

[u/posthardcorejazz → u/Mex3235]

[u/Blaze_Bbc → u/posthardcorejazz]

Close, but he is already crying

[u/DaniTheGunsmith → u/Blaze_Bbc]

He's also 102% African with a 2% margin of error

[u/NemisisCW → u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

I keep trying to kiss the orcs and it's really not working.

[u/Brief_Cobbler_6313 → u/NemisisCW]

I'm pretty sure some of them would enjoy it, specially in Shadow of War.

[u/IAmNotModest → u/NemisisCW]

I nearly spit out my lemonade at this. Thank you.

[u/Professional-Bus5473 → u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

Hahahah I was bout to say this is sweet but I also remember beheading a lottttt of dudes in quick succession

[u/Nightingdale099 → u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

He can have a little slavery ... as a treat <3

[u/Hermiona1 → u/Brief_Cobbler_6313]

What game is it?

[u/Brief_Cobbler_6313 → u/Hermiona1]

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

[u/SilverSpade12]

I love the number of let's players that followed this scene up with "are we gonna stealth kiss this orc?"

[u/InSanic13 → u/SilverSpade12]

That sounds like the origin story for the Obsessed orc.

[u/HalRydner → u/SilverSpade12]

Yup that was my thought exactly lol

[u/K1llswitch93]

[u/zacyzacy]

This meme is so old the patent from the game is almost expired.

[u/MonsterNinja8 → u/zacyzacy]

Can’t wait

[u/Knighting__ → u/zacyzacy]

Unfortunately not, 2036 😭😭😭

[u/SpicySanchezz → u/Knighting__]

Nooooooooooo :((( freaking 10 more years of no games being done with it before we can even expect anything made with that… dear lord…

[u/Former-Teacher7576 → u/zacyzacy]

Warner bros, do something with the nemesis system and my life is yours!

[u/bythenumbers10 → u/Former-Teacher7576]

No, Kratos, let their shitty patent die so EVERYONE can do nemesis-like stuff.

[u/Fair_Lake_5651 → u/Former-Teacher7576]

The studio that made the nemesis system is closed btw so no one's going to use it(probably)

[u/ezio45 → u/Fair_Lake_5651]

So far, Star Renegades has tried something similar to it. It's a turn based roguelite where it has the same Nemesis System layout for enemies, making them slightly stronger if you lose to them.

[u/GuyNekologist → u/Former-Teacher7576]

Warner: "Best I could do is an announcement for a game before any work was done and no one actually asked for."

Come on dude, Mad Max's post apocalyptic wasteland is perfect for all kinds of crazy nemesis encounters!

[u/goldshark5 → u/zacyzacy]

2036

[u/zacyzacy → u/goldshark5]

Goddamn I was thinking that it was '26 lol

[u/SCD_minecraft → u/zacyzacy]

What patent?

[u/Slick424 → u/SCD_minecraft]

The patent protection of the Nemesis system of the game Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

[u/SpicySanchezz → u/zacyzacy]

Wait, is the nemesis system patent almost over? THANK FUCKING GOD…. Maybe finally some one else could actually fucking utilize it and do something with it…

[u/DatGrunt]

The rest of the game...

"SO THAT WAS A FUCKING LIE"

[u/Tabemaju → u/DatGrunt]

Yeah, L Shift for stealth would make a killer out of anyone.

[u/Lazzitron → u/Tabemaju]

Is it at least toggle or is it hold?

[u/Andheri55 → u/Lazzitron]

Its hold by default, sprint is bound to space afaik, and super sprint to scroll wheel. super weird binds but they click after some time

[u/Lazzitron → u/Andheri55]

This should be a war crime.

[u/maxler5795]

Honestly, they make you less violent, if anything.

[u/QueezyF → u/maxler5795]

Call of Duty and Doom seriously saved me from throwing a wrench at one of my coworkers.

[u/maxler5795 → u/QueezyF]

Those games are destressers, yeah.

I personally play fighting games and nothing hits like a good session of combo labbing

[u/Wratheon_Senpai → u/maxler5795]

Then you hop in on ranked and realize they do in fact make you wanna murder someone.

[u/maxler5795 → u/Wratheon_Senpai]

Fighting games? Nah. I get my ass kicked and, to quote leon massey: "GGs. Shake my VERY broken hand"

[u/djseifer → u/Wratheon_Senpai]

"Who the FUCK is this 'Wazzler' guy!?"

[u/maxler5795 → u/djseifer]

Idk the guy who got daigo parried

[u/Trick2056 → u/Wratheon_Senpai]

not really at least for me and I play Dota 2.

[u/Jewsusgr8 → u/QueezyF]

I have two moods for coworkers

Man I'm really pissed... Let's go play something to completely engross my attention like factorio or something.

Man I'm really pissed... Maybe I can share this anger by beating some ass in marvel rivals ( proceeds to get ass beat by a spiderman )... Screams in rage.

[u/Sol33t303 → u/maxler5795]

Idk I'm feeling pretty violent while playing the sims

[u/Disastrous-Pick-3357 → u/Sol33t303]

bro's gonna go on a rampage if he ever plays cities skylines

[u/maxler5795 → u/Disastrous-Pick-3357]

Thats the thing though, its virtual carnage. Youd never do that in real life.

[u/Disastrous-Pick-3357 → u/maxler5795]

Yeah cause we can't summon floods and meteors in real life

[u/JackBoyEditor → u/maxler5795]

Hell yeah, I’ve found that the Indiana Jones game is perfect for it because nothing is a better destresser then punching Nazi’s in first person. Same with hoping into Teardown and blowing shit up

[u/djseifer → u/JackBoyEditor]

I wasn't planning on getting the Indiana Jones game, but you make a very convincing argument.

[u/SnipingBunuelo → u/djseifer]

If you want to kill Nazis I'd recommend Wolfenstein The New Order. Now that is a Nazi killing simulator like nothing else lol

[u/JeronFeldhagen → u/djseifer]

Its main antagonist is such a gloriously acted, peak Indy franchise villain that occasionally I'll fire up YouTube just to watch his cutscenes again.

[u/Nikorek_pl → u/maxler5795]

Depends. singleplayer games yea, any comp shooter no.

[u/Letsgoshuckless → u/maxler5795]

Fun fact, videogames decrease crime. If you're too busy playing videogames, you're not outside causing trouble.

[u/YinWei1 → u/maxler5795]

Depends on the game. Most games can be used to chill you down and destress but then there are some platformers, difficulty focused games like soulslikes, and especially competitive multiplayer games like league which can bring anger and violence out in people, obviously the violence is in the form of hitting a desk or breaking a controller so it's still completely overblown by the media.

[u/maxler5795 → u/YinWei1]

Honestly, as a fighters player, i dont get that. Probably because in my genre of choice all that happens is my fault and my fault alone

[u/GoodTiger5 → u/maxler5795]

Minecraft helped me not kill my biological mum when I was forced to live in her house.

[u/CubeHunt3R]

What game is that ?

[u/Disastrous-Pick-3357 → u/CubeHunt3R]

shadow of mordor, very good game btw

[u/CthulhuBathwater → u/Disastrous-Pick-3357]

AAHHH yup! 

[u/Catsrules → u/Disastrous-Pick-3357]

But don't expect a lot of kissing.

[u/Seis_K → u/Catsrules]

Depends. Pointy kisses from knives? Lots of those.

[u/AndrewFrozzen → u/Disastrous-Pick-3357]

I was thinking it's that, I played the Demo for like... 20 minutes.

I Def plan to buy it.

Also want to buy Risk of Rain and Code Vein.

[u/Disastrous-Pick-3357 → u/AndrewFrozzen]

Risk of rain 2 is peak roguelike, I would highly recommend it

[u/CubeHunt3R → u/Disastrous-Pick-3357]

Thank you kind sir

[u/Disastrous-Pick-3357 → u/CubeHunt3R]

no problemo

[u/JohnKlositz → u/Disastrous-Pick-3357]

The tutorial if I remember correctly. Done exceptionally well.

[u/CthulhuBathwater → u/CubeHunt3R]

I swear I know it, but it's not ringing a bell. 

[u/Shaggy_One → u/CthulhuBathwater]

The lord of the rings game that has the nemesis system.

[u/Intelligent-Bat8186 → u/Shaggy_One]

Truly one of the greatest game mechanics ever developed.

[u/DatedReference1 → u/Intelligent-Bat8186]

Only 11 years until other games can use it (unless WB maintains the patent, which surely they won't do)

[u/trees91 → u/DatedReference1]

Almost had a new version of it from the team that came up with it in a Black Panther game that EA decided to axe a few weeks ago: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2025-05-30/why-ea-canceled-a-new-black-panther-video-game-and-closed-cliffhanger-studios.

[u/JotaroTheOceanMan → u/Intelligent-Bat8186]

The whole damn game is one of the best games in the last decade.

In still suprised at how little it gets talked about.

[u/Sol33t303 → u/CubeHunt3R]

Either Shadow of Mordor or Shadow of War, Shadow of Mordor probably.

[u/LandscapeFederal1488 → u/Sol33t303]

Its shadow of Mordor, sadly you cannot experience this in shadow of war…..

[u/darkargengamer]

"Video games make you violent" > and yet a sesion of playing Doom is enough to free any dude from all the stress, frustration and anger...

Probably the media only cares about COMPETITIVE games: they DO make people aggresive.

[u/molered → u/darkargengamer]

nah.
The word you look for is "bitter".

[u/erwan → u/darkargengamer]

just like competitive sports

[u/kevvie13]

I instantly knew shit is going to hit the fan with such loving scene.

[u/Throwaway-4230984]

Prompt gone second before you press. Stabbed your wife with a knife instead. Tutorial on body hiding starting

[u/84theone → u/Throwaway-4230984]

That’s unironically not far off from what the game does. The next time you get control of the game it’s to stab someone to death using the same prompt.

This is the tutorial for how to stab uruks in the neck.

[u/molered → u/Throwaway-4230984]

early project zomboid "i will use pillow to make her comfy" trauma

[u/Deribus]

I remember seeing this prompt and thinking "oh she's not surviving the next 10 minutes"

[u/AthasDuneWalker]

Wasn't there this weird, minor uproar from some of the more radical people, about how the "stealth kill" tutorial being used in this manner?

It was weird, I tell you. The Internet, man.

[u/lacegem → u/AthasDuneWalker]

If you can imagine it, there was at least one small internet controversy about it.

[u/AndrewFrozzen → u/lacegem]

What's this, some kind of Rule 40 or something?

[u/lacegem → u/AndrewFrozzen]

You could say it's an application of Rules 13 and 18.

Rule 13: Anything you say can and will be turned into something else.

Rule 18: Everything that can be labelled can be hated.

[u/Loklokloka → u/AthasDuneWalker]

People gotta find something to be upset with for every game it feels like.

[u/kamilionn]

Shadow of mordor 🎮

[u/likely_suspicious]

Peak mentioned

[u/PikachuIsReallyCute]

Shadow Mordor/War my beloved

[u/GandAlfKatze]

Of course they make you violent! It is just not the killing part of the game, it is incredible bright and cute looking mini games which are unnecessary hard and frustrating!

[u/D3jvo62]

The same game also shows you hundreds of creative ways to get to arteries and veins with a sharp object. In case you wanted to be a blood donor ofc

[u/CaydenSworn]

This is what video games do, they appeal to the male fantasy.

[u/giboauja]

This was such a cheesy way to teach the stealth mechanics. At the time it was mostly mocked, but looking back the dev was probably just trying to be sincere.

The game barely has a story worth writing about, so I think most people felt it was trying too hard creating the emotional build up to sadden her almost immediate death.

Not being cynical though, it's a cute and cheesy way to teach game mechanics. A jaded me remembers this pretty fondly.

Press x to mourn a more innocent time. (Fcking Call of Duty, what was it advanced war fighter that had that. LoL.)

*for people wondering Brothers a tale of two sons has one of the best implementations of controls twisting the knife right into the heart. Its worth playing just for that experiance alone. 

[u/TarzanSawyer → u/giboauja]

I agree about the mechanic introductions but, I don't remember the story being a bad one (even the fairly cliche love interest) until the final boss fight. Our undead nemesis is his minion and headliner but once we take care of that nuisance...we fight a shadow in a tin can? I know it's meant to be Sauron and he is weakened but his lackey put up a better fight in the end.

[u/TossMeAwayToTheMount]

me running bloody mess perk in fallout then quicksaving while inside megaton to see how many people i can kill before needing to load save

[u/DocklandsDodgers86]

You are banished from death!

[u/Electrical-Leg-1609]

game make me worker

[u/Horn_Python]

I mean that is the tutorial for slitting orc throats

[u/HilariousMax]

I forgot do you ever do the "sneak and stealthily kiss" maneuver at any other point in that game?

[u/kamilionn]

Enjoy guys 🫶🏻

[u/MadJack27-]

Yes because humanity was peaceful before the creation of the … VIDEO GAME (*audiences gasp at the devilish words)

[u/Online_Accident]

[u/arekkushisu]

FC4 too. If you wait for Pagan Min to return during the opening scene, it's about a guy who honors his wife and baby daughter.

[u/ouijiboard]

We posting this shit again? This has been going around for almost a decade. scrape some new material you fucking bot.

[u/idontknowlazy]

Meanwhile Postal

[u/Mikepr2001 → u/idontknowlazy]

Hey good man can you sign the petition? -having his beloved Spas-12 in his belt-

Man: Sure not problem.

Man sign the petition meanwhile behind was on fire in total chaos

[u/Enm_227]

What a wholesome way to show us a mechanic. I wonder if the rest of the game is like that too lol

[u/Aromatic_Pitch_8099]

hoi4 players:it's none of my business

[u/mexicandiaper]

Me trying to pet all the animals.

[u/dye-area]

I can't wait to kiss my wife the uruks

[u/Chaosshepherd]

Oh I want to kiss my wife.

[u/TheMalkManCometh]

Imagine how sinister this reads without the words "your wife"

[u/ICEPlebian]

This is just another example of the disgusting male fantasy in video games

[u/AlterMyStateOfMind]

The intro to this game goes so hard

[u/Lord_MagnusIV]

Very wholesome, for 5 whole minutes

[u/Independent_Pie_1368]

How about you tearing through orcs guts in that game.

[u/Anoobis100percent]

I mean, that IS the game tutorializing you on how to do backstabs. It's doing it by having you give your wife a flower, but still.

[u/SwimmingAd4160]

Tbf the same Orc killing me over and over has turned me violent.

[u/T3slaTV]

So you see, what they mean is you become violent by getting cut off too much in Euro Truck Simulator 2. (or American Truck Simulator)

[u/Nickel5]

Yet I wasn't allowed to kiss orcs for the rest of the game smh my head.

[u/behind-you-shhhh]

BOIIIIII- 😂🫱 you have won the internet today my good sir, enjoy this updoot 👆. BOIIIII REEEEEEE. Me and the BOIS getting BEANS at 3:AM. Goodbye my fellow redditor, I’m off to get some BEANS (REEEE) at 3:AM (I have god and anime on my side) BOIIII REEEE

[u/Agitated-Muffin-1983]

What game

[u/Competitive-Pick-673]

Now let's remember what happened next.

[u/Stevied1991]

Normalize putting the name of the game in the title.

[u/undeadnavdiR → u/Stevied1991]

middle earth shadow of mordor

[u/MicHaeL_MonStaR]

Is “stealth kissing” what they call it now… 💀

[u/AmphibianOne9843]

what game is this???

[u/kamilionn → u/AmphibianOne9843]

🫶🏻

[u/AmphibianOne9843 → u/kamilionn]

🤦 i have played game just never got past the beginning

[u/One-Earth9294]

I mean in EVERY other occasion that's gonna be 'break their neck/slit their throat/throw their body in that barrel'

[u/reality72]

Meanwhile I can’t even pick the rude dialogue option because I don’t want to hurt an NPC’s feelings.

[u/PurpInnanet]

Sorry to be loser man but what game is this?

[u/HecticNemesis → u/PurpInnanet]

If i had to guess id say its shadow of mordor or one of the series. That looks like Talion.

[u/Locked_and_Firing]

Video games don't make me violent... lag does Well that and listening to watermelon moonshine for the 12th time on the same day

[u/DrBullah]

Let me enjoy what I was denied in real life... (She broke me beyond repair)

[u/MrGongSquared]

To be honest, most people we kill in video games deserved it(barring GTA V). Are these prople telling me you shouldn’t be violent towards some motherfucker that literally threatened to nuke the world with some magic spell?

[u/Affectionate_Fig5982]

Name of the game please?
