Gold Edition comes with a Gold chest which contains rare orcs. The definitive edition does not.

I just finished Shadow of war recently and I do not recommend it. It gets too grindy and starts to drag on toward the end. When I finally finished it my feelings were "thank god it's over" not "what a great game".

I just finished shadow of war last night and didn't find it too grindy at all. When I finished it I wished there had been more content but I had already completed all the quest chains to 100%. Great game.

Pretty fun game. It's as grindy as you want it to be. You can solo bases at the end if you're good.

I already own the base game. Is it worth shelling out $10 for the Gold edition additional content?

Ps. I played through & beat the base game twice. 160+ hours.

It's typically best to grind earlier on in those types of games. It's still a great game even with the grind.

I grinded early but I started to get sick if the gameplay, it felt like a chore toward the end.

The main campaign yes, I had no more interest in the end game.

With 3% facebook coupon, $10. It's a pretty good price for this game. Have seen $10 for PS4 and XB1 but not either definitive or gold versions.

For those wondering - like I did - the difference between gold and definitive, they are basically the same (base game + all DLCs included). But in addition the gold edition also includes a gold war chest (three followers and two training orders, one guaranteed legendary follower). Pretty meh but since it's cheaper than definitive edition this time, might as well.

For everyone that's played this, how much of a difference is this from Mordor? Is it the same Batman/assassin creed mechanics? What's fresh enough to buy this at this time. With all the games I have back logged in starting to get picky. TIA...

That's how I felt about the first one. So I'm hesitant to buy the second.
