    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the finest open world games I've played, one of the best Samurai games ever made and the perfect swan song for the PS4. Do yourself a favor and play this game.

      Every big one gives Ghost of Tsushima a 9, Gamespot again a 7/10. They really really hate Sony. Now it’s more than clear. And the problem is, they are one of the big ones on Metacritic which will cause a big damage on the score overall. -.-

      Thank god for point #1. One of the biggest disappointments with modern AC games are level/gear gating. The “gear power rating” is eventually gonna turn the game into Diablo/Destiny/WoW where it’s just bigger and bigger numbers in a STEALTH ACTION GAME. Assassinations should be all about skills and techniques, and not about grinding for gears.

    Gotta say this game shows how much small things can make a difference. Like the ability to play a flute with different tunes to change the games weather, being able to sheathe your sword, being able to bow and pay respect to random AI in villages and to enemies you have killed that put up a good fight. Also the unique side activities are a breath of fresh air; when I first saw that making haikus would be a part of the game I was a bit worried if that would be a good idea, but they really showed me it’s a very relaxing and unique game, 10/10.

    I've been playing the game casually for about a week. Came back to say Ralph is dead wrong about Jin. His characterization is subtle, but thorough. He struggles with adjusting his fighting methods, not because of lack of ability, but not betraying his families code of honor. He is otherwise a pillar for his people, as he was trained to be, and recognized as such by the people.

    I actually really like the writing. The pacing is slow for the first half but it kicks into high gear during the second half. I absolutely adore Lord Shimura and Jin’s relationship in this game. This conflict of old tradition versus new unconventional methods, and what must be done for the greater good is poetic. The finale and ending is one of the most poignant I’ve ever seen. That being said I agree with everything else. This is the most beautiful game ever, the combat is addicting and challenging, and it’s a game crafted out of passion. This game has saved the sendoff to the PS4.

      @P3wP3wPanda 3 года назад +13

      I have to disagree with you about the era. The game is an amazing homage to Kurosawa movies etc. but that doesn't mean it fits the era. The setting of this game is during the Kamakura period (1185-1333), but the way bushido is portrayed in this game is an invention of the edo period (1603-1868). The edo period was a time of relative peace so they had time to invest in things like strict social order, but this strict social order and code of honor is what people associate with samurai. In wartime, no samurai would have cared how they killed their enemies. Take for example, Hattori Hanzo, the most famous historical ninja. He was first and foremost a samurai and was highly valued by his lord, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

      I feel like they took much more of a risk in the writing. Its not the typical samurai movie but its also not every MCU movie. Its a good in between. Just like Jin. Jin was a character that a lot of us didnt like because of his decisions but we played it anyway, just like TLOU2. But this game manages it a lot lot better in terms of making a character you dont like but still empathizing with them and developing them throughout the story. Jin grows from a cult following samurai to a dishonorable ghost. I think we gotta respect Sucker Punch for doing this type of character development in these type of settings

      @@dojetunes you didnt like Jin? Wtf? I understand why people get the idea hes "boring" but hes not. As a character we see him struggle with rejecting the ways of the samurai. It's even explained that the samurai way is not right throughout the game, because it's easy to predict... jin sacrifices a piece of himself to do what was necessary. He adopts the title of the ghost to adapt fear as a weapon. I think the biggest real issue is that this is seen as dishonourable, but samurai wore masks to do exactly that. Not to mention the few remarks he made which were actually quite funny like early on in the lady masako quest line. Hes a very different character but done with almost precision. Hes not wisecracking, or honour bound. He struggles with blame, sacrifice, exile, and loss. The fact you can bow to honour fallen samurai and civilians, and the connection to your horse, and characters within the plot, having people judge him for fighting in a style that is pivotal to destroy the mongols and people mention it. Theres so many finite details that show the incredible details of the game, and its character writing. Its definitely not perfect, but at least there is reason to each subtle detail

    I love how the camera doesn’t always stay centered on the main character during combat. You’ll see in the video that he’ll kill an enemy, then as he’s rushing towards another one, the camera sort of lingers, almost like it’s being pulled back, and it gives this sense of forward momentum as your blow connects with the next enemy and it snaps back to you. And this isn’t just exclusive to those moments. It does it on a regular basis, providing this breathtaking cinematic scope of the fight, showing all the enemies you’re fighting against, then focusing on you in those moments in combat when you’re in the enemy’s face, almost like the camera is a measurement of the main character’s sense of awareness of his surroundings.

    Glad you liked it man,
    But in Jin's defense, its his stoicism, code of honor and emotional restraint , led to why he seemed "flat" but to me i saw Jin's internal conflict as an honor bound samurai to the duty bound ghost that wants to save his people no matter what, its what made him this dynamic character for me he feels more than he lets on, and we see this tip during one of the story encounters (no spoiler). The shade of dark and light with in him wether to be an honorable samurai, or a vigilante Ghost.
    as for the story, i have to disagree too, The plot was the invasion, but the central arch of the story is Jin's principles and his relationship with his closest allies and particularly his uncle, there were definitely moments of awe and spine chilling sequences during the story that drove it to its highs and lows. The pacing was perfect it never rushed nor was filled with unnecessary filler and it really drove it home for me,

    Edit: In Samurai Champloo, there are two samurai characters, one named Jin (very traditional) and one named Mugen (more freestyle) the voice actor of Mugen is Kazuya Nakai (same as Zoro), and here is the curious thing, the name of the protagonist of this game is also Jin...

    You’re dead wrong on the writing. I found the Tales, especially the character tales to be very compelling and emotional. They clearly put a lot of work in making more interesting side quests over fetch quests. Jin is boring, but the stories and people you help, like Lady Masako, Yuna, and Norio are engaging and tragic in a lot of ways. I’m dumbfounded how all these reviewers weren’t moved by these stories. It’s like they were expecting the same gamey stuff and Sucker Punch gave us more, but we’ve unfortunately been taught to not even notice it and gloss over it because we’re not mature enough to care.

    I actually loved how they wrote Jin as a character. He was raised and trained to be a Samurai which they were taught to be composed, taught to hold back emotions which you saw Jin in a flash back was told to control his emotions when an assassin came to kill Uncle Shinura, samurai are also very stoic. And you do see him tackle those emotions slowly throughout the story. This game is one of my top 3 games of all time. It was a much needed game in 2020 and an absolute gem to experience

    One thing that really caught my eye during a recent preview - and I'm so, so glad that it lands in the final release and resonated with you - was the use of diegetic elements like wind and animals to guide the player throughout the world instead of slapping a big fat Go Here icon on-screen at distances, actually using your eyes to interface with the game world. It's nice to see Breath of the Wild finally make an influence on modern, mainstream open-world design.
    Between that influence coming through and games like Death Stranding trying to make simple movement mechanics interesting, I'm really interested to see where games go in the next five or ten years. We've spent years making talented artists and world designers create beautiful open worlds and then pairing them with gameplay that regularly means the player just ignores them, staring at the Go Here Icon.

      They do a very good job sure. Buttt I always have my question marks with reviewers who get an early copy. In the game of youtube reviews the early you are the better of course. Who wants a review 2-3 weeks after release ? Nobody except dedicated fans. So reviewers who get an early code might be a bit more lenient towards a game. If you shit on it you will be black listed and never get an early review code of their company again...Thus never an early review. Seeing what I'm going with this ? Best case scenario no early copies FOR NOBODY.
      I doubt they would let this fact influence their judgement much as both were still fairly critical in aspects. Still it's a great game for sure.

I set the game to hard at the start and they don’t give a shit. Multiple spear men will go after you at the same time so positioning and rolling becomes essential especially due to the extra damage. Enemy types is also great. I especially liked the straw hat ronin. They fight you w katanas and have very different movement styles to the Mongolians.

Finished the story twice, both good and evil, got all the upgrades and overall had a fantastic time. It was a great game with a lot of care put into it and ultimately just was a lot of fun to play.
