If you are going to send a console generation out with a bang you could do worse than Ghost of Tsushima - like Last of Us 2 for instance. This may be my most positive sin video ever, which means it probably sucks since no one likes it when I'm nice to a game. I counted its sins regardless though.

The reason why Shimura is angry at Jin at the end, is because he taught the commoners how to stand up and fight. The Samurai's are the elites and aristocracy. They're the ones who protects the people and in return the have obedience and loyalty from those commoners. But Jin not only taught those commoners how to fight, he killed the Khan without even relying on the Samurais. With the commoners now armed for battle, loyal to the Ghost like he's their lord, will those commoners obey the Shogunate and the Samurais ? I don't think so. This is the reason why Jin's status as a Samurai is removed, and a new Lord will take his place. There are hints of this during the game, even Samurais from the mainland want to reinstore the Samurai political power and ask Jin to forget about the Ghost because they fear commoners will lose respect in the Samurais.
Shimura tells Jin that Samurais exists to inspire the people, but when they do take weapons to fend for themselves. Shimura is happy when Ishikawa and Masako are here to help him, but he's immediatly dismissive of Yuna, a commoner.
This is some *_hilarious_* shit to read if you're even remotely knowledgeable of actual Japanese history.
Kaitensatsuma yeah this games not really accurate to japanese culture at all mate but what are you gonna do about it. Just try to enjoy it for what it is
@@carlosizquierdo1939 True, but it's one thing to watch a Kurosawa film about the "Noble Samurai" and it's another thing to read someone spout that shit off like it isn't fantasy.
@@KaiTenSatsuma I'm merely speaking of the game's story and what is presented in here. Having learned japanese in college for two years, I can understand the feeling.
20:58
Fun fact that everybody knows, but Jin's katana at it's base set is called "The Storm of Clan Sakai"
So a storm did technically stop the Mongol invasion
This has to be your best video yet. Though I will say this, I think you miss the point of three key scenes.
The sin you mention where Jin takes issue with Shimura sending men to die at his castle but not taking issue with the battle of Komoda Beach ignores Jin's character development and the scene's context. At the beginning of the game, Jin thinks that the men going to die will receive an honorable death. And that the only option, the honorable option is to charge into battle head-on. At this point, because Yuna has convinced Jin to think outside the box and consider dishonorable methods, he sees another way that could solve their mongol problem without adding to the Japanese death toll. Jin seeing his Uncle go for an option that will lead to more casualties is what causes him to say that Shimura sent his men to die. Because Shimura would sooner protect his honor than his own men.
Second, there are numerous moments where Shimura is shown to be quite the hypocrite, what with his connection to Goro, a pirate, as well as his willingness to blame Yuna for Jin's actions. It speaks to the fact that, as Sensei Ishikawa says in one of his missions, "You shouldn't expect every samurai to perfectly embody honor."
Third is the reason that the Shogun wants Jin dead. During the final mission, Shimura makes plainly clear that it isn't about honor anymore, it's about classism. The shogun is worried about the public no longer looking to the samurai for aid. It's about the elite (the samurai) being afraid of a revolt (brought on by Jin's actions as the Ghost). So they want Jin dead to make an example to the people not to revolt against the ruling class.
but jins a samurai, he reinforces the idea that samurai protect their people, and that they should be looked on favorably and with respect. the shogun must have an extra chromosome because taking away jins status as a samurai is what creates the issue of making the samurai look weak/ incapable of defending their people. Also the only way the shogun would even know about the poison would be if shimura ratted out his own nephew, which is just like, wtf dude? Shimura is just way too damn rigid even for a character who is supposed to be overly rigid.
@@vaughnrobbins9771 Except the Samurai are expected to live by their code. And Jin does not. No amount of justification will make up for the fact that his ignoring of Shimura's orders and poisoning of the Mongols is a BLATANT act of disrespect to samurai as well as their code. By this logic, the shogun, and by extension Shimura are saying, "You are making the commoners lose respect for the samurai and their code! Giving them ideas about fighting for themselves! And if they don't look to us for aid! What's to stop them from overthrowing us! Especially when they adopt your dishonorable methods!" Also Shimura wasn’t the only one who knew about the poison. Remember that the Shogun’s men entered the scene with him, seeing the carnage that Jin caused against the mongols.
Super JLK that’s the thing, the shogun’s fear is overpowering his reason. He’s afraid of a peasant’s revolt and sees Jin as the face of it, because he’s gained the love and respect of the people. The shogun sees a threat to the samurai’s power and wants it taken out. Obviously we don’t see a lot of civilians joining the fight against the mongols, but the shogun doesn’t care. As far as he’s concerned, Jin’s their leader.
nailed it, seriously
It’s true, I think the main “insult” from Jin wasn’t even his supposed “lack of honor”, it was his disobeying and being loved by the people, thus bringing power back into the hands of the common folk when they realize they don’t really need the samurai. That was the real threat, shimura’s reprimand about lack of honor is just excuses and him being upset that he’s been outranked by his nephew who openly disobeys him.
I feel like the phrase you’re looking for is “cultural appreciation” rather than “cultural appropriation” which comes from a place of respect, admiration and a genuine passion for the subject matter. You can tell the devs put a lot of love into this game.
And they did their homework. I heard that they actually asked for permission from the Kurosawa estate to put his name in the game mode.
I was genuinely confused when he said cultural appropriation and then praised it. Usually that is an SJW term meaning you cant like or were anything that isnt from your culture. So an example is I as an American shouldnt wear a kimono because its cultural appropriation. Fuck SJWs.
@@TrueMentorGuidingMoonlight they _mostly_ did their homework. Dartigan points out their mistakes, the most egregious of which being the Japanese using the katana... he made a great point of how Jin could've been the first to wield one and give the sword more reverence.
@@SA80TAGE no the devs purposefully made it a katana. They knew what they were changing. They even stated that on an interview
Cultural appropriation would be lifting Japanese and samurai culture and either whitewashing it or using it in a blatantly disrespectful and/or stereotypically racist way. It has nothing to do with a “SJW” pejorative, not that being socially conscientious is something bad in the first place.
AC will never dare set foot in Japan now because they know they will be compared unfavourably to this
Watch them try however. It will be full of flying unicorns and glowing swords like in the last few games
@@mogul188 when
They might. With their resources and the right creativity, it actually wouldn't be difficult to do a better job than this one at a samurai style game... not that I'm all that confident in them doing it right, lol.
MOGUL And Gay samurai. Don’t forget the gay samurai.
@@youssefsaleh7186 Lol yeah and the gender choices
I have learned more about the mongols in this video than my whole time at school
Zack Smith nah it’s cause some schools don’t bother teaching about other cultures
@@jtorres2643 thank you
We learned a lot about them, mainly because they invaded us (Hungary) too. To the point where the king who rebuilt after it is called the "second founder".
00:54 Dartigan immediately assumes he knows that the Japanese never battled at night.
During the actual Mongol invasions of Japan, the Japanese would launch raids during the night to attack Mongol ships. Usually to set them ablaze.
In 1576, Oda Nobunaga attacked Uesagi Kenshin at night with 30,000 men.
The 47 Ronin, one of Japan's favorite tales ... the ronin attacked at night.
This took me all of 5 minutes to fact check as it's a pretty ridiculous claim that no armies attack at night.
Well said my friend, and I've watched Japanese and other gamers in general and samurai watch this, one samurai teacher said the only thing he would do differently is just kill em, the Mongols were ruthless, and the Japanese highly trained and dedicated night day, they find away, and remembering it's a video game nota documentary, but I understand a RUclipsr has their niche and I appreciate that, especially seeing the gamers who just looooove this game, including the actor who plays Jin plays this on RUclips himself, but somebody has to do it I guess 🤷🏻♀️.
@@megs4193 - Truth. But my attitude is, if you're going to post a vid on anything historical and portray yourself as being a smarty pants, you better fact check and not say stupid stuff. Annoying types like me will call you on it if you don't. Lol.
@@richardsmall2855 I agree with you 😃 I'm just a softy, I know you right, my mum is 72 and she's just finished this game twice 😄 and she remembers her history, I just struggle saying anything negative, but that's because I was born, a good sort of brain damage 🤷♀️😄😄 that's what I call it anyway, but yeah, I done a kinemaster video of this game for my mum and I only have a PS3 so I watched alot of reviews from, a samurai master Japanese people, some of the cast, and the guy who plays jin also plays online on RUclips, and I'd never heard anything bad about, like I said somewhere on this page, it's a video game not a documentary, I was curious to see what he could possibly find wrong, I was thinking more along the lines of GamePlay not historical accuracy 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😀 but I couldn't do what RUclipsrs do, I recorded my voice once to see if I could start a channel for women my age or men, talking about starting new things on the internet, nope, I couldn't listen to myself talk, I was alone and embarrassed 😏so even if I disagree I always give a thumbs Up for bravery 🤷♀️😀😀👍.
@@megs4193 you do realise modern 'Samurai' are just swordsmen, right?
@@tada-kun982 yeah, I do 👍😉.
Your game sinning has honor.

Brilliant, love it
Oh Dartigan you know Ubisoft was watching this games success with envious eyes and at the same time smashing their head into a wall for wasting the opportunity for over a decade 😂
Lol AC still sells like hotcakes. They don't give two fucks.
@@davidmock7592 oh they'll care this time
@@Countmacula666 No they won't. GoT has sold 2.5 million copies. When, Syndicate only sold like 3 million, they basically revamped the entire series. There's just not enough people playing this game to concern them.
@@davidmock7592 **2.5 million in 3 days. It's probably sold like about 5 million now.
They would've fucked it tbh so i'm glad they "missed" it
the funniest thing that happened to me in this whole game is that i killed every enemy that went after taka, and yet taka still was captured.
I think it says in game that he came back some time after Jin was captured. So no matter if you kill the mongols chasing Taka, he will be captured by a SEPARATE group of mongols at a later time.
KC NotQuiteHD you probably right, but he probably would’ve noticed that I was captured, and the only possible option would’ve been him rushing in to save Jin
Benjamin Gillman perhaps but Taka literally says upon you gaining consciousness that, “you were gone for so long” which implies that he didn’t immediately go back but waited a good while for Jin to come back. So whether or not the player takes out the mongols that chase him, he comes back regardless and gets caught. Now if, let’s say, he said that he was captured while on his way back to camp, or that the guys he was distracting caught him, I would be surprised that he was caught.
KC NotQuiteHD good point, thanks for taking the time to explain.
Benjamin Gillman no problem. I know, I had to look back at the mission after the initial shock like HOW TF did Taka get captured?!
3:13 Not sure, but looks to me like she stabs him in his neck, in the gap between his armour and helmet.
The animation is imprecise and the knife clips through the armor, but i believe that was the intention as well
Woulda been awesome if she decided to lift up the neck guard before the stab tho
@@TITANia69420 That's what I was actually thinking about that part. Im pretty sure the soldier wouldnt have noticed.
I don't think I've ever seen so many sin reductions in a sins video before. Just proves how good this game is I guess
Damn straight that first point. Some of the best dark european medieval fiction out there was made by japanese (Berserk, Dark Souls) and nobody complains jack shit about that.
Funny that the two examples you’ve listed had the latter take inspiration from the former.
Dark Souls is overrated imo.
I didn't know Dart was into cognitive behavior therapy.
Underrated comment 😂
I loved the game. I'm also big into Japanese history. I know there are some historical inaccuracies the game play is great. The Camera was incovenient at times but for me it just added to the challenge of reacting to multiple enemies. Plus i think a lock on will take away from the fluidity of the sword play when having to switch stances. The enemy has the right to be able to dodge out the way of our strikes. It might the only smart thing the AI can do.
Sin 52: I know these sins are mostly memes. But there was a very interesting dialogue in the game in which Jin mentions he marched alone with Shirmura in the end and he was fully expecting to die, and then he mentions that way of thinking was the easy way. This was one of the first dialogues that showed Jin started to embrace the Ghost. So yeah, back then Jin didn’t have time to complain since he didn’t even expect to live another day during the 80 samurai battle.
Wow, sounds like Dartigan really liked this one.
Remember his video on "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance"?
Aside from Khan being wildly inconsistant, the bit about the Shogun is the only thing that annoyed me about the game. Even if the Shogun thoguht Jin had gone too far, just killing him like his Uncle was ordered to do would more likely turn him into a martyr for his faction than anything else.
-
That minor gripe aside, I like this game and loved watching Dart stream it!
This is the same Shogunate that 100 years later would have so much bickering and fighting that they created a century long civil war. The "honor" thing in this game was legit baffling. Historically, it was never a thing.
Politically, the shogun's decision makes sense. As Shimura explains, Jin has taught the people of Tsushima that defying the samurai can benefit them. At that point, Tsushima is mostly liberated and the Khan is dead, despite Jin being vital to taking back the island, Shogun still wants to make an example out of him to gain back people's respect
@@filipmajewski8382 To the game's credit, that works and does nicely bring into question the long term consequences of Jin's actions. I'm just saying trying to have him killed is a risk play since it could pretty easily turn a war hero into a martyr for further rebellion.
-
Also, I might be a bit annoyed with how Jin's uncle really didn't help the situation by stubbornly sticking to the samurai code. Khan even states that Jin was the only threat because, unlike his uncle, he was willing to fight dirty and not hamstring himself by only fighting head on. If Jin had let his uncle take the lead, they honestly probably would have lost (again).
The Shogun would have just ordered him to kill himself, Shoguns did that all the time and people nearly always did it.
@@davidmock7592 it's a weebs wet dream on "Medieval Japan"
Appreciate the video. Some interesting points. The only one I wanted to correct you in was ‘Tachi’ and ‘Katana’. You said katana were not invented until after Gengou (the Mongol invasion). The words Tachi and Katana are not names of swords, but the mounts used for long swords of 60cm or more in length. Tachi slings the sword by a cord from the waist with cutting edge downward, whereas Katana mounts have the sword in the waist belt with cutting side up (or Uchigatana).
Both Tachi AND Katana were made and in use during the Kamakura period (when GoT was set), and both were also used afterwards, up to the 19th century. When Tachi blades were shortened to the point that its original tang almost disappears, it becomes a katana.
No disrespect, but this point seems to come up in many YT vids.
I would take 10 sins off for the ghost stance scene
Jin’s amazing survivability is obviously the favor of the Gods seeing that all them foxes (messengers of the Gods) lead him to receive blessings.
In the bonus content the creator explains why they didn't add a lock on system. They wanted to represent how it would be for a samurai, who is used to one on one combat, facing the mongols who use group fighting tactics.
that is incredibly stupid if your used to one on one you would hyperfocus on one guy not acidentaly try to kill next to the one you ment to
@@marley7868 did you play the game?
Here’s one: why was Ryuzo waiting in that spot like he knew Jin would be there? You go through a crack in the wall and Ryuzo had no reason to think Jin would go that specific way for a dramatic duel. Also, none of the Mongols overheard your very loud fight till after Ryuzo screams to alert them.
The rust Khan places in Ryozu is fucking baffling. He basically whips Jin's ass the first time he sees him and instead of waiting, he just uses the group that Jin got out of a rut in the first place and the dude who's lost every duel he's ever had with him.
0:09 That's not cultural appropriation, that's more cultural appreciation/exchange.
I think the reason Jin is able to shrug off the poison is because Yuriko used small doses in the Sakai estate food stores as pest control. He could have built up tolerance over the years
🤔🤔🤔🤔come to think of it this world make alot of sense kind of like a vaccine
Though he was experiencing pretty bad symptoms the first time so maybe that charged his system due to the increased dosage helping to more actively stimulate his immune system similar to how doctors up a dosage after a person’s system gets used to it
So fucking tired of people putting "no lock on" as a con. This game was not designed for a lock on system. It wouldnt have worked. It litterally would have made the combat worse if it had a lock on mechanic. If you have trouble pointing your control stick in a direction you want to swing, thats more your problem. Not the combat system's. As for the camera, specifically in tight spaces, that point is valid. But the frequency of fights where you are forced to fight in tight spaces is so low as to be basically more of an ocassional annoyance than any serious flaw.
I agree that the lack of hard-lock was a great choice, and I mostly loved the way they used L to aim your swings.
Still, the soft lock could use a bit of tweaking. There were more than a few times I aimed towards the only enemy on that side of the screen, and had Jin swing next to them instead of at them
Just because you couldn't think of how to make it work, doesn't mean there wasn't a way to make it work. You liked the lack of lock on and many people agree. Many other people didn't like it and for good reason(s) whether you would agree or not.
What doesn't make sense is assuming that all the gamers _(of which there are many)_ that recognized and didn't overlook the flaws in the system just had trouble with the stick and or broken controllers. In systems like this one, it is common for the character to not target who you were aiming at and sometimes glitch to the point of targeting people nowhere near. It happens. Not enough to to make the game unplayable/unenjoyable, but enough for most to notice it.
Personally think there should be an option.
I think it was a good choice, that makes the combat different from all those expensive Dark Souls clones that I grew tired of seeing (Darksiders 3, Fallen Order, The Surge, Absolver, whatever else I can’t think of now). Only The Surge (2) improved it, others were straight up copying it. It’s slow, boring, mind-numbing, is just a waste of time and doesn’t work well outside of From’s games, because it wasn’t fucking created by any of them.
Also, I heard some series called “God of War” never had any lock-on features and been doing fucking awesomely for more than a decade now...
There is also this whole genre called “slasher”.
Buns Stiffington No, everything shouldn’t be for everyone, unless you’re an infantile communist.
It is there, accept it or don’t play it, if you don’t like it. This is the way...
As far as I remembered. In japanese dub, Jin actually call every blades 'Tachi', not Katana. He even shout 「太刀を抜け！」 (Tachi Wo Nu-ke! - Draw your Tachi!) before the standoff fight.
I remembering reading they did research into language to better reflect japanese at that time period
I’m gonna be honest some issues you had I deathly didn’t really mind but they were minor issues. overall I agree this game was amazing and definitely a middle finger to Assassins Creed
They were issues that were necessary for the game to develop like in the comic books that the villains let the hero lives ( which if they didnt there wouldnt be no story)
Definitely my game of the year. Flaws and all.
This game is not historically accurate, but it's fun. I'm glad you're able to catch the historical mistakes there are in the game.
Ok so here’s the thing. All historical liberties taken were talked about prior to the game release, e.g. why there’s a Katana and not a Tachi. These aren’t “mistakes”, they are purposeful choices to better reflect the game they wanted to make.
Eftinoiu Eduard I mean that is a factor but the main reason is because this game isn’t being an exact historical simulator-it’s a love letter to Kurosawa’s samurai films just as much as it is to history.
The ending and credits is perfect. The music is amazing
I would have taken a sin off for the introduction of the ghost mode...that was just a really badass moment imo.
This man just said Norio being fat is a sin 💀💀💀💀
When it comes to the poison, I can't say HOW they figured out which plant, but there actually is a moment in an Act 3 mission wherein Yuna and Jin pass a field of wolfsbane flowers, where the two realize this is where they've been getting their poison supply.
Next time Resident Evil 0. After that Bully.
Maybe useless sword points that came to mind.
3:30 In Japanese dub everyone always talk about Tachi, even when the subs say Katana and the swords look more like Tachi to me anyway ( Slightly longer handle and little more curved blade than katana ), but if they have Tachis in game, they wear it wrong... Katana is worn blade up ( like in game ) and Tachi is worn blade down. But if you had it Tachi way with Tachi techniques, you wouldn't be able to do those awesome stand-offs, because that IAI slash from the sheath wouldn't be either possible or invented yet.
I will say that the Straw Hat Ronin not being able to trade or be given aid by regular townsfolk might be realistic, as in feudal society being a Ronin was to be seen as the ultimate failure and was a greatly dishonorable title to have. That being said, that stigma is tied to the presentation of a warrior's honor in Bushido, which Dartigan pointed out didn't exist yet, so that's a tough call.
How awkward would it be if Yuna got Jin off the beach, nursed him back to health, and then when he woke up he was paralyzed from the waist down... like “Oh, I was gonna ask you to help me save my brother but like... y’know, you’re paralyzed cuz you got shot in the spine twice...”
5:48 back then there was habit of take young one to battle fields
My headcanon is that Jin built up a resistance to the poison from possibly handling it his whole life (Probably helped Yuriko poisoning rats and such) maybe he was exposed to it through skin contact?
what was wild to me was the 2 lead developers getting so much enjoyment from japan that they got appointed ambassadors for tsushima island
You have to remember that its impressive for a long game/movie to have a decent amount of sins, simply because there is more time to mess something up, and considering that ghost has only a small amount of sins and its a very long game, that says something about the quality control thru out the entire game
Wholeheartedly agree
3:47 Fyi if you play the game with Japanese voice the game actually call sword "tachi" so it's cool
1:46 well to be fair, random survivors or people that know of the attack on the beach make statements about the weapons they were using. Trust me it's there.
The sin about all of the seasons happening at the same time was actually done on purpose. It was done to show the Japanese attachment to and respect for nature. Also, I would like to complement Dartigan on the fact that, unlike CinemaSins, his sins honestly make sense most of the time. Things like the Kahn not killing either Jin or Shimura when they refused him just doesn't make sense to me given everything we know about the Mongols and Genghis most of all.
Wow, it’s almost like the game developers *Intentionally* made the game this way so you don’t die after 15 minutes of playing
23:26 this did not age well now that assassin's creed shadows has now been announced
Played the game, loved it and even platinumed it and I find this review very fair, because most of the things he said were actually on my mind too when I played the game
I think it's fair to assume Taka was captured in the early hours of the invasion, which prompted Yuna to check out the beach where the invasion began, and thus found Jin after checking several other dead samurai. Still far-fetched obviously, as it means Jin was lying on the shores severely wounded for anywhere between half a day or even a full day before Yuna dragged him to the village she was hiding out in.
Also, there are some legends about the art of setting swords aflame, though I think it was said the blades were designed to handle being on fire, whereas the game just lets almost any bladed weapon be capable of the technique.
BULLY!
(Even though it already exists)
Also well executed sinning - more sin video should learn and follow from this video and that is worthy of removing a sinGGGGGNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDD
22:07
Best sequel baiting ever.
Just finished the game. Perfect timing
They don’t even say the word katana, but in the Japanese dub, Yuna says Tachi for the blade.
17:10 I got recommended a video of a Japanese man who studied samurai and their practices and he said the exact same thing.
I’m genuinely amazed at how in the 2 full length playthrough a of this game (Iki Island included) not once was I ever bored, no matter what I was doing.
What if as you play the game you had two options one as playing as the ghost and the other honoring the samurai way. If you played as the ghost killing people from behind and using poison you unlocked the ghost skills and if you played as a samurai honorable and always facing your enemy head on you unlocked better samurai skills. Each choice giving you a different ending that could’ve been cool in my opinion.
Actually, several side quests have characters / groups that are lacking food. un-Ding.
I always thought the horse aspects of the game were kind of a missed opportunity. Mongols fought for the most part on horseback and Samurai usually did too so it makes no sense that fighting this way isn’t very practical in the game. Like it would have been cool to have a Mongol charge at you and have Jin be able to cut the horse from under him.
Yeah the first sin deduction was ON POINT. That's what I to say whenever I see someone blaming Sucker Punch for cultural appropriation. We would never see a game like this from a Japanese studio.
Honestly, the idea of Jin having the first ever Katana crafted in order to cut through mongol armor would've been pretty awesome as a plot point.
I've been waiting for this lol
Edit: Just finally got to watch it since I beat the game. No painted ledge remarks? Cmon dartigan you're getting soft
It feels like you aren’t really sinning this game. You’re finding both pros and cons, and that’s awesome.
This have some next gen graphics. Realy impressive.
I killed a lot of archers shooting me from horseback, they did mount if you get close to them. They’ll also ride around you shooting.
Damn, since you brought up that detail about japanese sword smiths inventing the katana for the mongol invasion, I can’t stop thinking about what could have been. Starting with the tachi or another weapon less effective against the mongols, it gives more of a reason for Jin to break his code as the weapons he uses dont work against the mongol forces and has to resort to other, less honorable means. When Jin meets Taka and asks for the hook, they could work in a way for Taka to create the Katana for Jin, it being the first katana ever, making it easier to cut through the mongol armor and defeat the Kahn’s army.
In the Japanese dub, the MC is voiced by the same guy that voice Zoro from one piece.
Minus 300 sins for the game and +1000 for me being a weeb.
khotun didnt use wine on adachi, its mentioned in the game that they used oil as a misdirection to catch enemies off guard
One thing. Jin had to deliver the message to Shimura himself. If he delivered it via a messenger, his uncle would have likely been pressured by his peers into holding the messenger hostage or outright killing the messenger. Punishing messengers just for delivering bad news was a very common thing across multiple cultures back in the day.
This is why this channel is so great. No irritating bullshit nitpicking like other channels, he points out legit flaws but still gives credit where it deserves. Good stuff
People like you should be a assistant of directors like Cory Barlog. If you were working with Santa Monica Studio or Ubisoft the games were be on levels of Christopher Nolan’s scripts. Thank you for your hard work ❤️🙏🏻 keep make more videos like that. I had love to see “Everything wrong with God of war 3” soon.
Try setting the camera speed to ‘fast’ in settings for combat.
I completely agree about the katana. Its a golden opportunity missed. One of the few things I'm sure AC would have got right. I mean, one of the earliest quest arcs is about rescuing a blacksmith who will make Jin anything and the game has upgrading mechanics!
The Bushido thing i disagree. It didn't spring up overnight. It might not existed officially but I'm sure Samurai had unofficial codes that became bushido
You know it’s a good game when the gaming wins video is twice as long as the gaming sins video and half of the sins are wins
If there is a sequel, I’d like to see sequences where Jin is forced to fight without a sword, or use other weapons. Kind of similar to samurai Jack season 5, where Jack lost his sword, and was forced to use other weapons, or fight with his bare hands.
Good thing is that there is a lock on and that we get an explanation on why jin was on the island with his father...but you need the dlc for that
22:02 I chalk the reason it doesn't kill as effectively as being because the Mongols didn't copy the recipe exactly. It can still kill but not as effectively.
22:34 Or the Shogun sees Jin as a threat to his power.
Also, Jin didn't got mad about the first suicide charge because he was totally OK with the code of honor thing and when he started embracing the ghost (the rest is history).
Even with its flaws (little to none in my honest opinion), this is a masterpiece of the 21st century. I feel so blessed to have experienced this game!!!!
Yo for reals I was so confused when the Sakai Armour didn't come complete I Immediately upgraded it fully
1:27 Well, talk about a „head start“
53:
Jin was still a samurai when Shimura led his men into a suicide charge
What? No sin for the magical teleporting horse?
you never see it teleport though, you only know it does, therefore it does not break immersion
@@andrewlr1225 It does when I leave it in impossible to come/leave areas or when I see it go one place and it teleports from a different direction.
As someone that's been playing this in Japanese audio with English subtitles, hearing them speak English in this video threw me off because I forgot it was even an option to have it in English audio.
keeps you from looking at the mini map
right up till you start trying to do everything
then your stuck looking at the pause menu map
The main reason Khotun Khan would be trying to get a peaceful surrender of Tsushima is because of the island’s strategic value for an attack mainland Japan. If Khotun can get the island to surrender peacefully that means the mongols now have a landing zone in which they can strategize, launch attacks and have reinforcements on standby should they be needed. Having Tsushima surrender peacefully means they would not have to deal with rebellion while preparing their fleets and troops on the island.
Forgot that no matter how much clothing or armor you have on or how much bamboo and gun powder you are carrying, you will freeze to death if you don't have magic space rocks in your socks.
I gotta see what he says about this one. All I've heard is praise, so let's here the other side.
Praise?only thing that is good in this game is gameplay,and its just Good made far cry.story is bland and the cutscenes make me hate this game.cutscenes look like ps2 cutscenes.animations arent smooth,clunky.
@@winstonchurchill7822 story is alright and cutscenes are good sometimes
@Subscribe To Me For Good Luck lmao,people hate tlou2 which is actually good,they are right,people hate this shitty game then they are salty.
great to know,at least i can differentiate between a good and a bad game.
What an obvious troll, trying to stupidly bait people with an extreme minority opinion. Good effort, I doubt anyone with a double digit IQ will agree with you.
@@silenceundying honestly,i am not trolling.this game gets a 7 from me.and who cares if my opinion is in minority.this shit happens everyday.liking something people dont like, ass licker.not liking something people like,hater and a troll.
"Ghengis didnt fuck around when it came to fucking around"
You had me there
I only have one thing to say “ It’s a GAME “
Phewwww thank you David.. its a bloody game enjoy it move on.jesus
Isaac FEAOMOENGALU maybe he can’t play it. That’s why he is complaining about it
They put so much things out like the rope is not made like uncharted they put it out with the rope techniques it’s you jump and put the rope on this wooden
The sidequests are just praying to shrines, riding somewhere to hear a line of dialoge or playing a qte, variations of ubisoft towers, tracking someone to a location to look for more tracks to finally murdering them after some time. Fox dens are just dozens of trailing missions! i did like a lot about this game, but it's really not that much better than ac. Just the cliche japanese samurai movie vibe really sold this for me.
They ended up adding the lock-on in the next update, well I’ll be lol
Edit: Jin saw his father die because they were on Iki Island, and without spoiling the new DLC, basically his father was caught unwarranted by the raiders rather than enemy mongols. He was killed are his own home.. that’s why Jin was there lol
22:53 I couldn't have said it better, myself.
This was probably your best video you've made.
"16 YEAR OLD WITH A BOOB JOB"
Me: "Never have I been so Offended by Something I Absolutely Agree With"
There were actually many fair arguments in this video and things I actually didn't notice
The only good thing is the villain, he wasn't there for nothing, he was there to break psychologically the enemy and he succeded with jin. GoT has glimpes of good in all the bad it is.
Everything wrong with this channel: it exists...
Also I love during the mission you looking for food for the straw hat, you found ressource everywhere in the camp and ships, but say you found nothing
