Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor delivers a dynamic game environment where the player orchestrates their personal plan of vengeance as they bend Mordor to their will. The game begins on the night of Sauron’s return to Mordor, as his Black Captains brutally execute the Rangers of the Black Gate. Players become Talion, a ranger who loses his family and everything he holds dear, only to be returned from death by a mysterious Spirit of vengeance. Based on the player’s actions with the in-game Nemesis System, every enemy encountered is distinct and can evolve to become a personal archenemy through the course of the game. As Talion’s personal vendetta unfolds, players uncover the mystery of the Spirit that compels him, discover the origin of the Rings of Power and confront the ultimate nemesis.
The Palantir App is available to download for free from the App Store. A partnership between WBIE and Wikia, Palantir will sync with game assets and the final game, to reveal additional layers of information, insights and fan-authored content, creating a unique second-screen experience. Enable Palantir’s sync mode while the Shadow of Mordor - Season Pass Trailer video plays to try it out.
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is available on September 30 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Steam; November 18th on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Still trying to figure out whether this is worth it...

25 bucks seems a bit steep for what i see here, but it does cover everything that's going to come out in the next few months, so maybe it's not too bad.
I'm just not sure how i feel about all this DLC, especially when it's stuff that comes out concurrently with the game. Why isn't this stuff on the disc?
The two times i've done DLC, i ended up pretty happy with it. The first was RE5, and it was two new levels that added around 4 or 5 hours of gameplay at least (i played that game a lot), which was quite different in tone to the main game (much more like the more traditional REx), and they were quite fun. Then just recently, i played Infamous: First Light (actually before i played Second Son-- it was sold separately), and that game was over 6 hours of gameplay, and was it's own separate, stand-alone story. In both those instances, i'd say it was worth it. But most of the time, it just seems like a cash grab.
I'll probably end up getting Shadow of Mordor's season pass, because it's looking like i'm gonna want to get as much time in this game's world as i can(i'm just a few hours in right now). And it actually looks like it might end up being quite a lot of worthwhile content. We shall see...
I wonder what you other gamers feel about this stuff.
