@Kasey Nicholson bruh everyone has different likings. New AC games get so much hate because they changed genre from action-adventure to rpg. So, those who liked action-adventure they started complaining and those who like rpg they liked it somewhat. AND even after changing genre they couldn't make a game that could win people's heart(except ac origins). ALSO, Except ac ezio trilogy and ac4 no other ac could manage to win any award.
@Kasey Nicholson You think it makes you 'grown' or 'cool' that you don't care about major fundamental changes to a franchise ? Just because you don't care doesn't mean other people shouldn't. Im pretty sure there's something that you absolutely enjoy that i would find extremely pointless and boring. I wouldn't however act better than you and call you a 'manboy' because of it. Your comment is highly ignorant. It's not cool to act like you don't care, especially when you are doing it over the internet and about a game.

One of my favorite details when it comes to the story being represented by gameplay itself, is the fact that Jin’s parents guide him in the game. Yuriko mentioned that “your father is the wind at your back, your mother, the birds in the trees”. The wind acts as our in-game guide to missions and stories, while the golden birds guide us to hot springs, bamboo stalks and vanity gear. Essentially, it’s like Jin’s father is guiding him throughout his life as the wind that leads him to important moments in his life and to people in need, while his mother tends to Jin’s needs like resting at a hot spring, practicing with bamboo stalks, and even gifting her son with cosmetics as a golden bird. This little detail adds so much to the lore of the island and Jin as a character. It also represents wholeheartedly the culture of Japan and it’s main religion: Shintoism. In which everything has a spiritual entity and must be treated with respect, which in turn makes Tsushima so mystical yet so real and beautiful. Great video, man.
This should be a lesson to all developers and greedy executives. Just make a good game that people want without all the drama and without any tricks and micro scams, and chances are people will reward you with making your game the best seller and one of the greats, even when it's the first game of the franchise. You DON'T have to be greedy or make a one size fits all (UBI) to make the money you want. You will make waay more than all the tricks can get you and more than that you will build good sentiment and trust.

See the cooler thing is he was literally seen as an unkillable ghost... a legend come to life, if the assassins creed even had a hint of this the game would be so much more badass, like all they have heard are silent whispers in the night, nothing more, one minute someones there, the next he's disappeared in front of your very eyes and the guards are basically pising themelfs silly.

Ever since Ubisoft got rid of Ashraf, whoever they got in to replace him really did butcher the franchise. Ghost of Tsushima honestly is one of the best games I've ever played. Never expected it to be as good as it is.
@@Francisco-oz8yb you make sense indeed. But think about it. You're already hated by so many because of not-so-satisfactory game development, then you get additional hate because of having a guy offering crucial game dev info, just to get laid, and not by his wife. Salt to injury there
If Ubisoft is going to make an Assassin's Creed game set in feudal japan, they should really just give up cuz it's not gonna beat Ghost of Tsushima. It's even more depressing to see Watchdog's Legion's Assassin DLC looking more AC than AC itself.
The second thing mentioned is the craziest part! How is the parkour and assassination animations better in Watch Dogs than in the last 3 AC games!?!?! It just doesn't make any sense.
If they do, EVERYONE will see it as an attempt to do better than SuckerPunch, because there would be no other reason to do it. ALL gamers will compare the two, and one will certainly be found wanting. They will inevitably and miserably fail. It would be... a massive miscalculation.
The statement “Watch Dogs Legion’s Assassin DLC looks more AC than AC itself” is 1000% false. Valhalla is literally an Assassin’s Creed game. Even more so than Origins.
@DOOM let me guess what your fav game is, a mindless shooter with braindead bad guys. You enter a huge space, bad guys spawn, you kill them, walk through a small corridor, enter an area with a huge space, repeat. If it isn't, care to tell me your's? A guy who "clearly" played more games than me.
It's hard to compare games in different genres, but even if we limit this to open world action game there are a lot of them can give Ghost of Tsushima a run for its money. Assassin's Creed black flag, red dead, Zelda breath of wild, Batman Arkham knight, Shadow of Mordor, and Dark souls/bloodborne.
“I am not your son. I am…The Ghost.” -Jin Sakai to his uncle Lord Shimura. The excitement and chills I got just watching Jin say that to Shimura is unparalleled. The depth and scope of such a character to come into his own and find who HE IS, it reminded of me of when Ezio went from a carefree Italian boy to a man with a mission and purpose. Jin is a character I want to see grow more in more coming games. I hope there’s a GOT 2.
They way the enemies fall on their asses due to shock and desperately scramble to get up but still can't, as you ominously walk slowly towards them ... that's gaming excellence.
I definitely understand the argument for sparing him and completing Jin’s transformation into the Ghost, but I don’t think him killing Shimura is out of character. While it could be seen as him trying to go back to who he was, I believe killing him, from Jin’s perspective, has nothing to do with his honor. Jin still loves Shimura, and while the spare ending obviously reflects that by having Jun refuse to kill his father figure, I think the kill ending reflects that by giving Shimura the death he wanted. Shimura has already been established as someone who will not change in his ways, so I think killing him is an act of love from Jin, allowing Shimura to die in accordance to his code rather than let him live feeling dishonored, and potentially even being executed/committing seppuku later on for that very reason. I think both endings are very in character for Jin, not from a perspective of honor or dishonor, but from a perspective of love for his uncle.
@@Dumi232 I will agree if u say that GoT is better than Odyssey and Valhalla. But definitely not better than all AC. Ezio Trilogy, Black Flag and Origins are better than GoT
@@twinguy9633 it’s much better than the recent assassins creeds I hate the new ac games because it doesn’t feel like ac anymore it’s kinda sad that a different game company made a better assassins creed than assassins creed
A very amazing game. The combat is the highlight of the game. Ppl who hate on this game are non-gamers, who only know fortnite, who have the attention span of a child with ADHD.
Man I remember when this game was first teased. I could not explain how excited I was to get a fleshed out Samurai Game, and after all that waiting, I finally bought it. Let’s just say they definitely used every minute of those 3 years.
If ubi didn't improve assassin creed by adding more grounded AC elements and if sucker punch makes ghost it's main IP. Then surely ghost will become assassin creed , And assassin creed will become like an EA Game that nobody cares about.
@Adam Jensen loads of people still care. Even people who don't like Valhalla still seem to care as I see them in every Valhalla comment section on this channel.
This game released on my birthday, I still play it almost everyday. Masterpiece. I used be a big Assassins's creed fan but I left the frachise when they changed the combat and gameplay.
What an amazing game. Pure quality. You can tell they put so much care and effort into it. One of my favourite games of all time for sure. P.s. I love the Ghost armour as it actually had an Edward kenway vibe and made me feel like an assassin
Finally got my hands on a PS5 just a couple days ago (was only an Xbox player) and this game is phenomenal! I love it. The beauty of Japan and the samurai wow
Straight up the biggest surprise that ends up continuing to delight. First game that ever compelled me to play online vs just playing the solo campaigns. Best game of all time.
Great video MA! I love Ghost! My #10 top game of all time! I love the rebellion to become the ghost. I thought Iki island was pretty good- but short. But it did add to the overall story. Ghost is what I wanted current AC games to be- but they just aren't. I've always wanted a Ghost vs. Valhalla video- but it's clear Ghost would win out by far!
Honestly, I don't even care about ac anymore. This game is so much better in every way, not even the best parts of ac can compare to the worst partsof got. And ac is budget god of war nowdays anyways, that doesn't even come close as well. Ac can have their gay vikings and strong independent female soldiers, I'd rather play gow and got any time.
ghost does it right when dealing with quests, gameplay and content. every assassins creed games map is so cluttered with little shits everywhere it feels so overwhelming and there's too much of it.
GOTY 2020! Just riding around Tsushima and taking out Mongols has this therapeutic effect. Plus there’s no micro transactions and filler like AC. Sucker Punch just wanted the players to have and not grind 4 hours to level up for one mission 🤷🏽♂️.
@@oliverseager8154 that’s very weird opinion lol, GOTY means GOTY. Not Game of the Year that isn’t a Console Exclusive or Best PC/Xbox/PS game of the year. If a game is praised by a vast amount of players as an incredible work of art and a memorable fun experience whether or not it’s exclusive to a platform...it is very much eligible for GOTY but even at that most GOTY awards are decided by a lot of sorry ass journalists. Ghost of Tsushima won the Player’s Choice Award which is a much more credible award than GOTY considering that the award required actual votes from people as Ghost of Tsushima and other titles battled each other for 3 days to see who would be the Player’s Choice. That game ended up being GoT.
@@christopheryanez I understand where you're coming from. But I've always disliked these exclusive titles, I own both systems so I'm not just butthurt about missing out on stuff, I believe that for a game to really win awards it shouldn't be cut off from 65% of the gaming player base. It can't be fairly put into something like that when compared to games that do have a full player base. That also being said, it's definitely deserving of that title, but it shouldn't get it, because its not a game most people can experience.
This game was so beautiful and it caught me off guard. Like, I didn't even know what to do when confronted with a beautiful scene, I just stare at it for minutes. And the combat... Just "Wow". This is what I want for Assassins Creed to achieve but they did not. For years I've dreamed about an Assassins Creed Samurai theme, but with Ghost of Tsushima out, I could not ask for more. Kudos to Sucker Punch for creating this beautiful game.
This was the only game ive platinum'd and played through twice and enjoyed the 2nd run just as much as the first, still getting chill from the most pivotal moments in the game
There is one point that people often don’t notice or realize at the end of the game when you decide what to do with lord shimura. The ghosts influence on the people is great, so great that he has an army that he didn’t even know about. If Jin were to kill lord shimura, the jito and ruler of Tsushima, the people supporting the ghost might reject the samurai. The ending isn’t just a battle with Jin’s emotions, it’s also a choice between doing right by his family (honoring lord shimura) and badly influencing his people, or leaving lord shimura devastated but being the correct influence for the people
I was looking forward to this game but never expected it be as good as it was. It was literally perfect, the music, the aesthetics, the characters, missions etc.
Loved the longer video, wouldn't mind more :) But seriously, you managed to do a bigger review than usual but maintaining the quality, congratulations.
Im 6 months late but in before fighting Shimura, while you help the peasant, he mentions that hes sending supplies to the "Ghost's Army", which neither Jin or the player have any knowledge about and how they'll take the war to the Mongols. This shows that the people started to use the Ghost image while not really caring about it, starting rebellious acts like how you mentioned in 10:20
I agree that the Ghost Stance is a great addition to the game story-wise and just overall aesthetic-wise, but whenever I use it, it's like the game freezes. Everything goes black and white, there is a half second pause where nothing moves and Jin does his stance, the music fades... it really, really really destroys the flow of a battle. Especially with the now absent music, it really feels clunky and a disturbance of the rhythm a battle can get you into.
Absolutely brilliant analysis. I haven’t played this gem of a game yet, but you’ve inspired me to get it. I don’t own a PS5, but I’m sure it will still shine on my PS4 Pro. Thank you for your passion for video games. It’s very infectious! 🙏🏻
the canonical ending is Sparing Lord Shimura because im pretty sure that the director of the game himself said if there ever was a sequel in the works, then sparing lord shimura is the true ending to the game.
jin's character arc... i love it... i absolutely love it... he went from honor-bound and idealistic (one can say naive), to conflicted and confused, to determined and decisive... too often nowadays, protagonists come off as one-dimensional or their development feels off or incomplete... but SP really deserve praise for the way they portrayed him... heck, even some of the other characters have arcs that somewhat mirror his, and they feel fleshed-out and real... also, yes, those shamans are losers... 😂😂😂
Recent AC Valhalla player here: after 120 hours, I can say I “like” the game. Now to my main point, IM HOPING SUCKER PUNCH MAKES A VIKING GAME. War axe or dual axe combat? Bows ? SHIELD WALLS!? DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON NARRATIVE. Would be amazing. I know it’s YEARS down the road if they do but man I feel like they could essentially take anything Ubisoft has done with AC and just make it better. Fun fact. Valhalla and Tsushima came out the same year so it would be funny to see the 2 devs switch and compete in this way.
This game sounds amazing, I'll definitely add it to the list of future games that I'll get when I finally get a better pc or a ps4, and believe me, the list is sooooooo damn long now. Wish me luck guys, luck in life
I spared lord Shimura. And Ghosts’ response was perfect. “ I have no honor” a slap in his uncles face and an acceptance of who he continued to try to suppress. When he put the mask on, I was filled with joy like hell f’n yeah
I got the collector’s edition for this game because I had absolute faith that this game would be great. Sucker Punch has only made good games. All of their games are at least an 8/10 and the best games are easily 9s. This game rightfully put Sucker Punch at the big boy table with Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Santa Monica, and Guerrilla Games
My favorite game EVER. I've been playing since the Atari 2600 and I am a hopeless Zelda fanatic, but this game is so epic, so moving, so unforgettable, it has carved an indelible image in my heart. There is no hyperbole when it comes to GoT.
A couple fun facts: - the main areas of Tsushima and Iki cycle through the 4 seasons, with Izuhara and Iki mainly representing spring, Toyotama is summer with its warm marshes and lush bamboo forrests in the south, as well as autumn with it's numerous multi-colored leaves falling from trees near the north, and of course, Kamiagata is the harsh winter with snow and ice. - in addition to the historical accuracy of the Mongol invasion, irl there were actually around 80 samurai and their retainers who met the mongols when they arrived. Additionally, there are accounts that some samurai managed to kill at least 3 dozen mongols in close quarters combat before being put down by arrows and/or exhaustion, which earned the mongols' respect. - of all the non-sucker punch properties referenced in Ghost of Tsushima, God of War is technically the one with the most, as they originally added the god of war Sakai dye to legends before adding it to Iki, there's an origami cutout of the leviathan axe on the table of Jin's new home at the end of the game, and at the shrine of ash on iki, there's Kratos' chains, the poem that says "BOI", the tree with Faye's handprint (Kratos' wife), and a piece of music from god of war when you obtain the armor dye
I agree whole heartedly. This is the AC we needed and deserved. Ubisoft had THREE chances on the PS4 to get it right and they failed all 3 times. Suckerpunch got it right the first time
Ubisoft lost the opportunity to make a video game set in this era, now if it does it will be very difficult to beat this video game and it will be compared from the beginning
Just got my ps5 a couple months ago and I was deciding between Ghost of Tsushima or AC:Valhalla. Though, I haven't played Valhalla I am confident that I got the better of the two, I was into AC before it was an RPG and really wanted a Feudal Japan setting for the game. I can't imagine AC team topping this at least with the whole "genetic memory flashback" aesthetic/theme. I was really immersed in the story and the gameplay and it was just so pure. Thank you SuckerPunch!
I prefer the kill ending because not only was it way way waaaayyy more emotionally impactful, but at the same time i see it as Jin giving a final send off to honorable ways, and to give his loving uncle and father a final wish, its not only him fully transitioning into the ghost, but killing the one thing that could have brought him back this whole time.
I do wish we had more actual choices, though. I wanted to play the actual honorable samurai route and generally avoided sneaking around when I had the choice in favor of being the most badass Samurai swordsman on Tsushima. My head canon is that Jin finishes his uncle, then writes a letter to the Shogun saying "if you drop the death warrant, restore my lands and titles, and name me Daimyo of Tsushima, I will be your bulwark against the mongols. Otherwise, you'll have a problem." to be clear, overall I loved the game.
btw for legends, the story in legends is basically the retelling of the base ghost of tsushima story, but told like a folklore/legend, so everything is exaggerated a lot which is why the environment in legends is super bloody and dark
I advise everyone to wear the kensei armor w the Yarnham hat and savage fury mask for the final battle w Khan. That little thumbnail w the fire in the background after you behead him is fn unbeatable w that gear setup. It looks so fucking SICK.
This is def one of my favorite games. Finishing all of the collectibles from the main game before I get to iki island. All I got left are the sashimono banners. 20 left Oh lord.
In my opinion I think the stealth is fine but it could have been better. The reason for this is that it lacks a lot of takedowns. They have air takedowns, the cool door break takedown and normal ones, but they lack the two cover takedowns, and ledge takedowns. And soft cover isn’t an excuse since ac Valhalla doesn’t have normal cover either but can do all those takedowns. This is not to say Ac Valhalla has better stealth than this.
@@jesustyronechrist2330 this is obviously a pipe dream, but can u imagine they keep the same fluid combat, but evolve the stealth to somewhat mimic metal gear solid v. game changing
But this is exciting if you think about it, Sucker Punch will obviously improve their stealth and parkour in the sequel considering this is a new IP for them unlike the 1000th sequel to a franchise Valhalla is.
Correction: Ghost of Tsushima wasn't the fastest selling Playstation exclusive _overall_ But it *was* the fastest selling _original_ Playstation exclusive, as in it was a brand new IP, and not a sequel/remake/reboot etc. TLoU2 still sold more quickly than GoT, selling 4 million copies in 3 days compared to 2.4 million in 3 days for GoT. Nevertheless, those are very impressive sales numbers for a completely original IP, and GoT is (and continues to be thanks to post launch support) an absolute masterpiece
Ghost of Tsushima is one of only two games I’ve ever played that I consider to be a 10/10 game. Absolutely everything in the game is perfect in my opinion: Satisfying and rewarding gameplay, a storyline that left me on the edge of my seat throughout and by the end had me on the border of tears, a vibrant, lively, and lived-in open world, a real motivation to play already captivating side content apart from the main quest line, a dlc that only improved on the story and gameplay we already had, and so much more that I can say in a single RUclips comment.
I hate how so many got videos talk about Jin abandoning the samurai code. He was essentially forced to, and he tells Shimura he was a slave to it, he doesn't denounce it. The samurai code has lots of value in it, it just doesn't work against enemies who don't operate under that code.
5:08 Thats my second fav my first is the mission where you poison the mongols stealthily then you fight Ruzyo in combat so its a perfect combination of the amazing stealth,and perfect combat.Easily my favourite,but I still see where your coming from if Ghost of Yarikawas your favourite mission
Love the videos man, just a piece of criticism: put a spoiler tag, or timers on the video to skip spoilers. I dont own a PS4 and was looking for gameplay mechanics and stuff from the perspective of an AC fan, but you tell a good part of the story. I kept skipping and seeing more and more lol. Maybe change from review to retrospective or analysis. Anyway, love the content, gonna come back once I play the game.
On my first playthrough I chose to spare Shimura because it fits the narrative the best for the reasons you said; however, I’m currently replaying it before playing the Iki Island dlc, and I’m definitely killing him because the white armor shader is 10x better than the red one😂 (granted I’m gonna get black dye anyway), but also just so I can say I’ve picked both endings. Overall I love the game tho, I give it an A-. My only gripes are the stealth not being that good and the first act of the game (rescue Lord Shimura) can be a chore to get thru and feels kind of slow imo, and the story of legends mode has a very anticlimactic and unsatisfying conclusion. Side note: I really love the little things in the game, like the flashback thing you mentioned, how soldiers can fall to the ground in fear, the physics of the blood and how Jin wipes it off the katana, the contrast between the beautiful scenery and bright/vibrant colors and the brutal violence, etc.
Ghost of Tsushima is better than Assassin's Creed in pretty much every way possible, The cutscenes, the combat, the animations and graphics, the story, etc. no micro transactions as well !!
I like how it combines old and new assassin's creed combat and mechanics, I love this game and playing the dlc with kratos and bloodbourne armour is even better
This is a game Ubisoft could not even dream of making now days.
The combat alone is 10 times better than Valhalla and Odyssey combined.
True, even crazier is that there's only one weapon set. A simple katana and wakizashi, yet it has way more depth and adaptabilty than all the 100 dual weild mythical weapons in Valhalla. Heck it even feels more brutal than valhalla, which was a big selling point for UBI. It's a clear cut example of how quality is ALWAYS better than quantity.

If Ubisoft is going to make an Assassin's Creed game set in feudal japan, they should really just give up cuz it's not gonna beat Ghost of Tsushima. It's even more depressing to see Watchdog's Legion's Assassin DLC looking more AC than AC itself.
The second thing mentioned is the craziest part! How is the parkour and assassination animations better in Watch Dogs than in the last 3 AC games!?!?! It just doesn't make any sense.
you comment like you never played ac game before, even old one
@@yourneighborhoodfriendlyme4242 IKR, it's pretty insane...
If they do, EVERYONE will see it as an attempt to do better than SuckerPunch, because there would be no other reason to do it. ALL gamers will compare the two, and one will certainly be found wanting. They will inevitably and miserably fail. It would be... a massive miscalculation.
The statement “Watch Dogs Legion’s Assassin DLC looks more AC than AC itself” is 1000% false. Valhalla is literally an Assassin’s Creed game. Even more so than Origins.
I've been gaming for over 20 years and Ghost of Tsushima is my favourite game of all time, literally number 1 spot. Thankyou for making a video on it.
Not my favourite but definitely in my top 5, it's just a masterpiece.
@DOOM let me guess what your fav game is, a mindless shooter with braindead bad guys. You enter a huge space, bad guys spawn, you kill them, walk through a small corridor, enter an area with a huge space, repeat.
If it isn't, care to tell me your's? A guy who "clearly" played more games than me.
It's hard to compare games in different genres, but even if we limit this to open world action game there are a lot of them can give Ghost of Tsushima a run for its money. Assassin's Creed black flag, red dead, Zelda breath of wild, Batman Arkham knight, Shadow of Mordor, and Dark souls/bloodborne.
@DOOM doom fans trying to convert people to play their game lmao
@DOOM you got fuckin roasted
the real "game of the year" is always the one that win as fan favorite
Fact
ikr i know that last of us is good but ghost of tsushima is better
Last of us 2 was dogshit, Ghost of Tsushima was robbed
The fact that's even an option is pathetic

The Title Sequence and the moment you unlock Ghost Stance are two of the most memorable moments in gaming i've yet to experience
I think your wording was wrong there but i get your point.

“I am not your son. I am…The Ghost.”
-Jin Sakai to his uncle Lord Shimura.
The excitement and chills I got just watching Jin say that to Shimura is unparalleled. The depth and scope of such a character to come into his own and find who HE IS, it reminded of me of when Ezio went from a carefree Italian boy to a man with a mission and purpose. Jin is a character I want to see grow more in more coming games. I hope there’s a GOT 2.
They way the enemies fall on their asses due to shock and desperately scramble to get up but still can't, as you ominously walk slowly towards them ... that's gaming excellence.
I’m glad this game has been getting tons of support from the players and developers since launch, they deserve it not Ubisoft.
I definitely understand the argument for sparing him and completing Jin’s transformation into the Ghost, but I don’t think him killing Shimura is out of character. While it could be seen as him trying to go back to who he was, I believe killing him, from Jin’s perspective, has nothing to do with his honor. Jin still loves Shimura, and while the spare ending obviously reflects that by having Jun refuse to kill his father figure, I think the kill ending reflects that by giving Shimura the death he wanted. Shimura has already been established as someone who will not change in his ways, so I think killing him is an act of love from Jin, allowing Shimura to die in accordance to his code rather than let him live feeling dishonored, and potentially even being executed/committing seppuku later on for that very reason.
I think both endings are very in character for Jin, not from a perspective of honor or dishonor, but from a perspective of love for his uncle.
What I love about this game is that wherever you are I’m the world there’s a beautiful sight to behold and every combat encounter feels like an event
Finally.
I've been asking for this for god knows how long.
Now this,this is what assassins creed needs to be
No dude this aint a AC game lmfao
@@RUN_IT_UP_ It's a better AC game.
@@Dumi232 nah
@@supremo5209 its better than ac. ac Can't even amount to the worst parts of this game which is the parkour which is really good
@@Dumi232 I will agree if u say that GoT is better than Odyssey and Valhalla. But definitely not better than all AC. Ezio Trilogy, Black Flag and Origins are better than GoT
I think both endings work perfectly tbh. He obviously still cares for his uncle so sparing him or honoring his wishes are both ways of showing that
I bought a Playstation a few months ago just for this game. It was worth it imo
One of the best games ever in my eyes it does everything perfectly
Except stealth
@BadQualityFrog ?¿¿?
How can you have such an opinion? It s like an assassins creed, it s not really different besides the setting
@@twinguy9633 it’s much better than the recent assassins creeds I hate the new ac games because it doesn’t feel like ac anymore it’s kinda sad that a different game company made a better assassins creed than assassins creed
A very amazing game. The combat is the highlight of the game. Ppl who hate on this game are non-gamers, who only know fortnite, who have the attention span of a child with ADHD.
To be honest, Jin is closer to an actual real samurai of the Kamakura period than Lord Shimura, and any other Samurai in the game.
Doesn't want to kill Shimura...

Lmaoooo facts man... Facts 🤣😂
they say the story suck i avoided this game for a long time … i play the game and love it greatest samurai tales ever told
"I had lost hope, Ghost of Tsushima brought me home"
-Assassin's creed players
Man I remember when this game was first teased. I could not explain how excited I was to get a fleshed out Samurai Game, and after all that waiting, I finally bought it. Let’s just say they definitely used every minute of those 3 years.
If ubi didn't improve assassin creed by adding more grounded AC elements and if sucker punch makes ghost it's main IP.
Then surely ghost will become assassin creed ,
And assassin creed will become like an EA Game that nobody cares about.
@Adam Jensen Yup it's really sad seeing your favorite franchise fall into bits
My fav games are pop and AC BF
@Adam Jensen loads of people still care.
Even people who don't like Valhalla still seem to care as I see them in every Valhalla comment section on this channel.
@Adam Jensen Valhalla was best selling AC ever wym
Yean,nobody care about but sold over 10 million copy every year. Also fifa sold more than 20 or 30 million a year😂😂😂😂
@Adam JensenMy English is not good，but what I said is truth.😂😂
“Protagonists father was killed, and you *didnt* make the story a revenge story? HOW”
-Ubisoft, every day
This game released on my birthday, I still play it almost everyday. Masterpiece. I used be a big Assassins's creed fan but I left the frachise when they changed the combat and gameplay.
origins was pretty good tho cant lie
What an amazing game. Pure quality. You can tell they put so much care and effort into it. One of my favourite games of all time for sure.
P.s. I love the Ghost armour as it actually had an Edward kenway vibe and made me feel like an assassin
Finally got my hands on a PS5 just a couple days ago (was only an Xbox player) and this game is phenomenal! I love it. The beauty of Japan and the samurai wow
Straight up the biggest surprise that ends up continuing to delight. First game that ever compelled me to play online vs just playing the solo campaigns. Best game of all time.
Great video MA! I love Ghost! My #10 top game of all time! I love the rebellion to become the ghost. I thought Iki island was pretty good- but short. But it did add to the overall story. Ghost is what I wanted current AC games to be- but they just aren't. I've always wanted a Ghost vs. Valhalla video- but it's clear Ghost would win out by far!
Honestly, I don't even care about ac anymore. This game is so much better in every way, not even the best parts of ac can compare to the worst partsof got. And ac is budget god of war nowdays anyways, that doesn't even come close as well.
Ac can have their gay vikings and strong independent female soldiers, I'd rather play gow and got any time.
ghost does it right when dealing with quests, gameplay and content. every assassins creed games map is so cluttered with little shits everywhere it feels so overwhelming and there's too much of it.
the ending till this day still makes me cry😂
By the end I was mostly using an archery build... Ronin especially were easier to dispose of with half-bow headshots
“Honor died on the beach” is probably my favorite line in the game
GOTY 2020! Just riding around Tsushima and taking out Mongols has this therapeutic effect. Plus there’s no micro transactions and filler like AC. Sucker Punch just wanted the players to have and not grind 4 hours to level up for one mission 🤷🏽♂️.
Imo, nothing that's restricted to one system type (PS exclusive) should be eligible for GOTY.
@@oliverseager8154 that’s very weird opinion lol, GOTY means GOTY. Not Game of the Year that isn’t a Console Exclusive or Best PC/Xbox/PS game of the year. If a game is praised by a vast amount of players as an incredible work of art and a memorable fun experience whether or not it’s exclusive to a platform...it is very much eligible for GOTY but even at that most GOTY awards are decided by a lot of sorry ass journalists. Ghost of Tsushima won the Player’s Choice Award which is a much more credible award than GOTY considering that the award required actual votes from people as Ghost of Tsushima and other titles battled each other for 3 days to see who would be the Player’s Choice. That game ended up being GoT.
@@christopheryanez I understand where you're coming from. But I've always disliked these exclusive titles, I own both systems so I'm not just butthurt about missing out on stuff, I believe that for a game to really win awards it shouldn't be cut off from 65% of the gaming player base. It can't be fairly put into something like that when compared to games that do have a full player base. That also being said, it's definitely deserving of that title, but it shouldn't get it, because its not a game most people can experience.
The real villain of the story was the samurai code
This game was so beautiful and it caught me off guard. Like, I didn't even know what to do when confronted with a beautiful scene, I just stare at it for minutes. And the combat... Just "Wow". This is what I want for Assassins Creed to achieve but they did not.
For years I've dreamed about an Assassins Creed Samurai theme, but with Ghost of Tsushima out, I could not ask for more. Kudos to Sucker Punch for creating this beautiful game.
A 30 min master assassin video sick I was playing alot of this recently I'll get back to it after I play more metal gear solid 5
This was the only game ive platinum'd and played through twice and enjoyed the 2nd run just as much as the first, still getting chill from the most pivotal moments in the game
There is one point that people often don’t notice or realize at the end of the game when you decide what to do with lord shimura. The ghosts influence on the people is great, so great that he has an army that he didn’t even know about. If Jin were to kill lord shimura, the jito and ruler of Tsushima, the people supporting the ghost might reject the samurai. The ending isn’t just a battle with Jin’s emotions, it’s also a choice between doing right by his family (honoring lord shimura) and badly influencing his people, or leaving lord shimura devastated but being the correct influence for the people
I was looking forward to this game but never expected it be as good as it was. It was literally perfect, the music, the aesthetics, the characters, missions etc.
Loved the longer video, wouldn't mind more :)
But seriously, you managed to do a bigger review than usual but maintaining the quality, congratulations.
Im 6 months late but in before fighting Shimura, while you help the peasant, he mentions that hes sending supplies to the "Ghost's Army", which neither Jin or the player have any knowledge about and how they'll take the war to the Mongols.
This shows that the people started to use the Ghost image while not really caring about it, starting rebellious acts like how you mentioned in 10:20
Even the dlc is awesome,I mean I didn't really expect the dlc to dive so deep into Jins character
man I wish it was longer and it was short and sweet.
I agree that the Ghost Stance is a great addition to the game story-wise and just overall aesthetic-wise, but whenever I use it, it's like the game freezes. Everything goes black and white, there is a half second pause where nothing moves and Jin does his stance, the music fades... it really, really really destroys the flow of a battle. Especially with the now absent music, it really feels clunky and a disturbance of the rhythm a battle can get you into.
That soundtrack is sooo good & I haven't even played the game yet
Absolutely brilliant analysis. I haven’t played this gem of a game yet, but you’ve inspired me to get it. I don’t own a PS5, but I’m sure it will still shine on my PS4 Pro. Thank you for your passion for video games. It’s very infectious! 🙏🏻
the canonical ending is Sparing Lord Shimura because im pretty sure that the director of the game himself said if there ever was a sequel in the works, then sparing lord shimura is the true ending to the game.
Last of Us shouldn’t get the Game of the Year awards. Ghost of Tsushima should be claiming it.
cry more
Ghost of Tsushima is the first and only game that made me tear up. That part in the end, that got me. Never felt that way with a video game.
This definitely has to be the best game I’ve played this year best combat mechanics and it’s smooth. Ubisoft could never do this
jin's character arc... i love it... i absolutely love it... he went from honor-bound and idealistic (one can say naive), to conflicted and confused, to determined and decisive...
too often nowadays, protagonists come off as one-dimensional or their development feels off or incomplete... but SP really deserve praise for the way they portrayed him...
heck, even some of the other characters have arcs that somewhat mirror his, and they feel fleshed-out and real...
also, yes, those shamans are losers... 😂😂😂
This game beats every single assassins creed game combined
Recent AC Valhalla player here: after 120 hours, I can say I “like” the game.
Now to my main point, IM HOPING SUCKER PUNCH MAKES A VIKING GAME. War axe or dual axe combat? Bows ? SHIELD WALLS!? DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON NARRATIVE. Would be amazing.
I know it’s YEARS down the road if they do but man I feel like they could essentially take anything Ubisoft has done with AC and just make it better.
Fun fact. Valhalla and Tsushima came out the same year so it would be funny to see the 2 devs switch and compete in this way.
This game sounds amazing, I'll definitely add it to the list of future games that I'll get when I finally get a better pc or a ps4, and believe me, the list is sooooooo damn long now.
Wish me luck guys, luck in life
My favorite mission was when he unlocks the ghost stance i wished the fight with the kan was a bit more explosive i don't know what the right word is
I spared lord Shimura. And Ghosts’ response was perfect. “ I have no honor” a slap in his uncles face and an acceptance of who he continued to try to suppress. When he put the mask on, I was filled with joy like hell f’n yeah
Didn't UBISOFT say making AC game set in Japan was to easy 😅 like bruh
I got the collector’s edition for this game because I had absolute faith that this game would be great. Sucker Punch has only made good games. All of their games are at least an 8/10 and the best games are easily 9s. This game rightfully put Sucker Punch at the big boy table with Naughty Dog, Insomniac, Santa Monica, and Guerrilla Games
My favorite game EVER. I've been playing since the Atari 2600 and I am a hopeless Zelda fanatic, but this game is so epic, so moving, so unforgettable, it has carved an indelible image in my heart. There is no hyperbole when it comes to GoT.
Amazing game! Will definitely get the Director's Cut whenever I manage to trap the magical unicorn that is PS5
Not to mention the gameplay, melee combat, and how beautiful and immersive the game is
A couple fun facts:
- the main areas of Tsushima and Iki cycle through the 4 seasons, with Izuhara and Iki mainly representing spring, Toyotama is summer with its warm marshes and lush bamboo forrests in the south, as well as autumn with it's numerous multi-colored leaves falling from trees near the north, and of course, Kamiagata is the harsh winter with snow and ice.
- in addition to the historical accuracy of the Mongol invasion, irl there were actually around 80 samurai and their retainers who met the mongols when they arrived. Additionally, there are accounts that some samurai managed to kill at least 3 dozen mongols in close quarters combat before being put down by arrows and/or exhaustion, which earned the mongols' respect.
- of all the non-sucker punch properties referenced in Ghost of Tsushima, God of War is technically the one with the most, as they originally added the god of war Sakai dye to legends before adding it to Iki, there's an origami cutout of the leviathan axe on the table of Jin's new home at the end of the game, and at the shrine of ash on iki, there's Kratos' chains, the poem that says "BOI", the tree with Faye's handprint (Kratos' wife), and a piece of music from god of war when you obtain the armor dye
music still gives me chills
The actual ending is that you spare him we know this because on iki island he talks about not telling shimura
I agree whole heartedly. This is the AC we needed and deserved. Ubisoft had THREE chances on the PS4 to get it right and they failed all 3 times. Suckerpunch got it right the first time
Ubisoft lost the opportunity to make a video game set in this era, now if it does it will be very difficult to beat this video game and it will be compared from the beginning
I am waiting for this masterpiece to release on pc, to get actual AC vibes
Just got my ps5 a couple months ago and I was deciding between Ghost of Tsushima or AC:Valhalla. Though, I haven't played Valhalla I am confident that I got the better of the two, I was into AC before it was an RPG and really wanted a Feudal Japan setting for the game. I can't imagine AC team topping this at least with the whole "genetic memory flashback" aesthetic/theme. I was really immersed in the story and the gameplay and it was just so pure. Thank you SuckerPunch!
i gotta say dude, ur edit made me shiver. both bcs of ur music and ur narraion it goes really really well, keep up the amazing work dude
I have 200 hours in story and 300 in Legends. Amazing game
This was my game of the year in 2020 ngl bro i like this game more than spiderman 2 tbh
I prefer the kill ending because not only was it way way waaaayyy more emotionally impactful, but at the same time i see it as Jin giving a final send off to honorable ways, and to give his loving uncle and father a final wish, its not only him fully transitioning into the ghost, but killing the one thing that could have brought him back this whole time.
I do wish we had more actual choices, though. I wanted to play the actual honorable samurai route and generally avoided sneaking around when I had the choice in favor of being the most badass Samurai swordsman on Tsushima. My head canon is that Jin finishes his uncle, then writes a letter to the Shogun saying "if you drop the death warrant, restore my lands and titles, and name me Daimyo of Tsushima, I will be your bulwark against the mongols. Otherwise, you'll have a problem." to be clear, overall I loved the game.
Best sword fighting game ever definitely a 10/10
Master Assassin while not on a video:
No one's here, let's play ac odyssey!
btw for legends, the story in legends is basically the retelling of the base ghost of tsushima story, but told like a folklore/legend, so everything is exaggerated a lot which is why the environment in legends is super bloody and dark
The shaman boosted brutes can actually one shot if you wear no health/damage reduction focused armor. Goes perfect with my infinite sticky bomb build.
I advise everyone to wear the kensei armor w the Yarnham hat and savage fury mask for the final battle w Khan. That little thumbnail w the fire in the background after you behead him is fn unbeatable w that gear setup. It looks so fucking SICK.
This is def one of my favorite games. Finishing all of the collectibles from the main game before I get to iki island. All I got left are the sashimono banners. 20 left Oh lord.
In my opinion I think the stealth is fine but it could have been better. The reason for this is that it lacks a lot of takedowns. They have air takedowns, the cool door break takedown and normal ones, but they lack the two cover takedowns, and ledge takedowns. And soft cover isn’t an excuse since ac Valhalla doesn’t have normal cover either but can do all those takedowns. This is not to say Ac Valhalla has better stealth than this.
I think stealth in any game that has "floaty" stealth controls is gonna feel kinda "off".
@@jesustyronechrist2330 this is obviously a pipe dream, but can u imagine they keep the same fluid combat, but evolve the stealth to somewhat mimic metal gear solid v. game changing
But this is exciting if you think about it, Sucker Punch will obviously improve their stealth and parkour in the sequel considering this is a new IP for them unlike the 1000th sequel to a franchise Valhalla is.
Correction: Ghost of Tsushima wasn't the fastest selling Playstation exclusive _overall_
But it *was* the fastest selling _original_ Playstation exclusive, as in it was a brand new IP, and not a sequel/remake/reboot etc.
TLoU2 still sold more quickly than GoT, selling 4 million copies in 3 days compared to 2.4 million in 3 days for GoT.
Nevertheless, those are very impressive sales numbers for a completely original IP, and GoT is (and continues to be thanks to post launch support) an absolute masterpiece
Ghost of Tsushima is one of only two games I’ve ever played that I consider to be a 10/10 game. Absolutely everything in the game is perfect in my opinion: Satisfying and rewarding gameplay, a storyline that left me on the edge of my seat throughout and by the end had me on the border of tears, a vibrant, lively, and lived-in open world, a real motivation to play already captivating side content apart from the main quest line, a dlc that only improved on the story and gameplay we already had, and so much more that I can say in a single RUclips comment.
I hate how so many got videos talk about Jin abandoning the samurai code. He was essentially forced to, and he tells Shimura he was a slave to it, he doesn't denounce it. The samurai code has lots of value in it, it just doesn't work against enemies who don't operate under that code.
im actually currently replaying through it now. soooooo good
5:08 Thats my second fav my first is the mission where you poison the mongols stealthily then you fight Ruzyo in combat so its a perfect combination of the amazing stealth,and perfect combat.Easily my favourite,but I still see where your coming from if Ghost of Yarikawas your favourite mission
Love the videos man, just a piece of criticism: put a spoiler tag, or timers on the video to skip spoilers. I dont own a PS4 and was looking for gameplay mechanics and stuff from the perspective of an AC fan, but you tell a good part of the story. I kept skipping and seeing more and more lol.
Maybe change from review to retrospective or analysis.
Anyway, love the content, gonna come back once I play the game.
This is the only game i wanted from playstation studios to come to pc.
Hands down one of the best games I've ever played.
Likewise 😌
After this review I’m definitely going to buy ghost of Tsushima
Everything from gameplay to sound is beautiful.
I feel like killing Shimura is also him accepting the ghost and cutting all ties to his past life.
So yeah Jin is basically the first ever Ninja/Assasin
On my first playthrough I chose to spare Shimura because it fits the narrative the best for the reasons you said; however, I’m currently replaying it before playing the Iki Island dlc, and I’m definitely killing him because the white armor shader is 10x better than the red one😂 (granted I’m gonna get black dye anyway), but also just so I can say I’ve picked both endings.
Overall I love the game tho, I give it an A-. My only gripes are the stealth not being that good and the first act of the game (rescue Lord Shimura) can be a chore to get thru and feels kind of slow imo, and the story of legends mode has a very anticlimactic and unsatisfying conclusion.
Side note: I really love the little things in the game, like the flashback thing you mentioned, how soldiers can fall to the ground in fear, the physics of the blood and how Jin wipes it off the katana, the contrast between the beautiful scenery and bright/vibrant colors and the brutal violence, etc.
This game was robbed game of the year.
Ghost of Tsushima is better than Assassin's Creed in pretty much every way possible, The cutscenes, the combat, the animations and graphics, the story, etc. no micro transactions as well !!
Best game of 2020 💯
I love how Japan loved the game so much, some of the people on the team were named ambassadors of the real Tsushima
I like how it combines old and new assassin's creed combat and mechanics, I love this game and playing the dlc with kratos and bloodbourne armour is even better
