"You have no Honour"
"And you are a Slave to it"
Fxking amazing lines
Better than "JUST GO, BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!" - Tlou2 Ellie.
"I lied" - This big evil robot guy
Badass samurai film classic line 😤
"I am not your son I am the Ghost"
*_"Stand in the ASHES of a TRILLION DEAD SOULS and ask THE GHOSTS if "Honor" matters."_*
One of the coolest details from the game is that the first stealth kill he does, he really struggles with because of how it’s against the code. But the wind picks up to make noise to cover the sound of the struggle.
We later find out that his father’s spirit controls the wind and that his father also used to disobey the code, doing things such as stealth kills and not showing mercy. He was covering the sound because he approved and knew Djin was doing what was necessary.
His father from the grave is basically saying" that's my boy!"
When he asks his father's spirit to show him how to defeat the Mongols it directs him to Yuna who turns him into the ghost
Love the implemented composed movement
And another thing. Jin will mutter to himself randomly when he does something dishonorable for the first time like backstabbing (This is how we win) or throwing a black powder bomb in an ambush, (There's no honor in this... The Mongols don't deserve honor.) culminating when he uses poison for the first time. When he does, he'll flashback to Lord Shimura's lecture about looking the enemy in the eye when slaying them. (Forgive me, Uncle.)
Truly the greatest of Clan Sakai.
"do not judge me"
"Do not LIE to me"
"I am not your son I am the Ghost"
And the whole scene of Jin unlocking the Ghost stance are some awesome lines
Timestamp
The combat system in this game is incredible, you feel very clunky at first, but you become smoother as the game progresses, and towards the end, when you’ve unlocked all the moves, you legit feel like a samurai master who can take on anyone, and look amazing doing it.
You mean ninja or samurai, depending on the path you take, but essentially a ninja still if you unlocked everything.
@@blumiu2426well I'd even be willing to argue that the subtlety of their game design, making standoffs progressively more difficult until they become so difficult that you'd just naturally give up and start becoming a Ghost by the end of region 2 and into region 3, less about being Samurai or Thief/Ninja and becoming the Ghost, who employs any and every tactic for an advantage
Totally, Love the gameplay variety, it was well implemented in contrast to what arpg AC earlier did that progression easily broke the game that heavily rely on enemy scaling to make it challenging.
Except in NG+ where you’re just a fucken Yokai warrior assassin god right from the jump
I'd just wish there was a way to parry the red glints
Kinda sad that the Tales of Tsushima were left out of this. They were pretty awesome and defintely worthy of a lore and order treatment.
Yeah, those ink brush paintings were so dope when I first saw them. The myths should've been a segment in this video.
Lord shimura was delusional in my opinion. The mongols were an overwhelming force and took advantage of their code to take over their home. They couldn't keep doing the same thing and hoping they'd win, they needed a change of tactics and if he had worked with Jin, Jin wouldn't have descended to the depths he did.
Honor is a strange thing my friend.
As Jin so eloquently said, Lord Shimura was a slave to honor. And it made him incredibly shortsighted and foolish in his thoughts and actions
This game is so good that even the Japanese people like it. It’s an accurate portrayal of their culture. The voice acting is pretty good too.
The tourism department of the local government of Tsushima is even using it as promotion
@@champ1159 Seriously? That's pretty dope!
When a shrine in Tsushima was destroyed via storm, you had LOADS of fans of the game donate to resurrect the shrine with names of all who donated engraved in the pillars! It’s AWESOME!
Accurate? No at all. Just not in bad ways.
From what I've heard samurai in real life didn't give a damn about honor or killing people in their sleep or poison
Near the end when discussing accuracy, the game sorta accounts for itself, i.e. Jin telling Khotun that he will be forgotten when irl (as you mentioned) there are no accounts of him. Also the weather during their final encounter is stormy if I remember, lending credence to the real storm that wiped out the mongols at sea
That’s because there no real mongol leader called Khotun Khan, Kublai led the invasion of Tsushima and mainland Japan
This was the only game where I 100% completed. Every minute, every hour just getting lost in the world. I loved it.
I expected simple open world slasher with pretty graphics, but the story was very good.
I liked parts with Yuriko, simple and nicely written with unexpected ending.
It all boils down to story and characters. Much of the character quests were just as impactful as the main story. Which made them an experience rather than a chore. The more you play them, the deeper you get to see their inner demons. That's why this is my personal favorite from the PS4 selection.
"You have no Honour""And you are a Slave to it"Fxking amazing lines. Loved this game and I’m so glad you covered it.
Funny how Lord Shimura preaches about honor, and then tells Jin to throw Yuna under the bus in order to save his own skin.....👀
He's, Shimura, one of the most dishonorable people
He’s known Jin since birth, he’s raised him from a scared child into a formidable warrior and “honorable” man. He’s in denial, he’s confronted with losing his legacy and his only remaining family in that moment. He could’ve lied and arrested yuna, accused her of poisoning/drugging Jin and manipulating him into a dishonorable path, but he instead arrests Jin n let’s yuna go free just based on Jin’s words/ admission of guilt. I feel like lord shimura is more of a slave to his personal values than to any set code of honor. Also why didn’t they just spill the milk n burn the poisoned mongols so there’s be no trace of the “crime” or way for them to recreate the poison?
It’s such a great game. I’ve watched Gab Smolders play it with Japanese voices but English subtitles. The story has made me cry a couple of times, as specially when his horse died😅 it’s a beautiful game, i really hope we get a part 2
don't know if you'll see this but of the rumors and leaks of PlayStation games in development, Ghost 2 is the one thing that Sucker Punch is rumored to be working on
The horse scene hit the hardest of anything lol
@@pef6469 that’s awesome! 😄
@@blumiu2426 yes, it was heartbreaking 😭
@@blumiu2426 Heart breaking, and when i saw that i cant name the new horse as the old one, i felt kinda sad yet happy that Sora's Legacy will stay and wont be overlapped by Kaze's
Loved this game and I’m so glad you covered it
I remember when I first got this game I played it for 18 hours straight in the summer because it was that good
I honestly felt yuriko loved Jin’s dad with all her heart she was clearly a kunoichi at one point and chose to dedicate herself to his father one doesn’t do that especially as a ninja unless you either admire or love someone deeply
Game deserves a sequel. There was a 2nd mongol invasion of japan and they had the 2nd largest invasion by sea in history. Now idk how far the mongols got into japan but the idea of having the mongols establish a foothold and making pushes to the shogun and the capital would literally print money. An idea for a coop campaign also works too since they could just write jin to have an apprentice as a way to uphold his legacy and clan sakai's. Jin making the forst ninja clan in secret would pretty sick although ninjas werent really running around until another 200 years i think. Either way it's a fantastic opportunity to have a game set across japan with mongols invading and there being potential coop. Call it Ghost of Japan or Ghost of the Shogun
So it would be a setup as Jin would be the progenitor of the Shinobi?
The story of the ghost is said and done. Any sequel would be hard pressed to live up to the original. However a similar game would do very well for itself without the constant comparison of the original
This is one of my favorite games ever!! Thank you for covering it!!!
42:49 The symbolism of yin and yang is so good.
I kind of liked the wording in the near end of the game that, when faced with another Mongol invasion of the main land they state "a storm is coming" and it was later storms that destroyed the mongol's attempt to invade japan, possibly hinting it would be Jin and his efforts that would route the Mongol invasion and then history would later attribute it to a 'storm'.
The name of the base sword kit is "the storm of clan sakai"
Even though this video was over an hour long it moved along at a brisk pace, and your excellent storytelling really helped it
This game is so well loved that on the actual island a statue was built to Jin commemorating the ghost of tshushima
Wait, *_WHAT?!?_*
NO WAY! I have to see it now
@@masonjenks7636 look it up my man it’s majestic
Did not expect you to do a breakdown on one of my favorite games ever. Everything about this game was top tier. Can’t wait to play it again on Pc someday.
Important note: bushido code did not actually exist, samurai could be employed as ninja (ninja themselves were not a clan themselves, just a job) and honor was not held to such a high standard. Still good game though
So ninja = mercs ?
Ur wrong
Obviously. This is a romantisized telling of historical events. While it is based on a real invasion, everything such as events, names, etc are fictional.
@@syphernynx4186actually he’s right. As a start point I recommend reading Oleg Benesch “Inventing the way of the Samurai, internationalism, and Bushido in modern japan”. Bushido as we know it is a modern myth. Medieval historians of Japan ignore the term and do not discuss this notion of Bushido existing in their own scholarly works either.
So glad you're covering this! My favorite aspect of this game is the music. The gameplay and story are great but that music is just so captivating to me
Totally agree, the main theme (The Way of the Ghost) is easily the best song on the OST
I have 100%-ed this game 3 times, one of my favorite game of all time
Great narration. Great job weaving the gameplay scenes together. It's a treat every time you upload a new one.
My 2020 game of the year!
Pleasant surprise to see it on your channel. Very detailed and enjoyable to get through the story again.
Absolutely love this game and can't wait for the sequel! Glad that you're covering it
I just love these videos, perfekt for painting, surfing the internet, working, and just watching. Great job Sir Harry. You have earned a like, and comment!
Your channel is literally the only gaming story channel i watch. Your narration is amaaazing and the fact you use chapters and set the main story and explanation apart is different. I just can't watch other channels. Amazing job man.
Awesome video as always Gaming Harry! Thank you!!
I love how cinematic this video was! Very well done 👏
Great video as always. Love for you to make more long series.
I was waiting for this, thank you for uploading it.❤
One game I find underrated is Murdered: Souls Suspect. I recommend playing it if you haven't already
Love the game's implemented composed movement (since it was inspired by Akira Kurosawa) as visual storytelling, suble cinematography, and as literally a visual direction with *"Guiding Winds."*
Ran into ur channel a couple months back really enjoy ur in depth analysis of games thanks again
Got is one of the 3 open world games i like. Its an actual masterpiece.
My God!!! I bought this game when it first came out and just finished it this week (don’t judge me). This is an amazing game. Thank you Sucker Punch!!!
incredible video as always
i was just recently looking for a video about this game and i didnt find one i wanted to sit through. super hyped for this one harry. cheers
I LOVED watching this video. Amazing work by you and people who worked on this game.
Incredible work! Thank you!
While taking a little historical license on the armor designs and historical period, and having a strong positive bias towards bushido and suppoded samurai honor, it is still a love letter to samurai films and an enjoyable experience from start to end with one of the best direction ive seen in games
A nice change of pace from the scary lord and order :) good job
Thanks for the lore. This video is awesome.
This is a video i didnt know i needed. Played through it twice and always go back
I was looking for this game on your channel back a month ago, very nice

If I may say, love your vids, really hoping one day you do the Fatal Frame series. One of my fave horror games ( 1-5) and I think it even has a spin-off game. 1-2 are my faves. Would be an awesome lore video. 🤘🤘💯
Keep up the great vids. 🤘
This was an excellent 10/10 breakdown of ghost of Tsushima, can’t wait to see what other lore & order videos you make!
I love the simple things in life: I see a gaming harry video, I click like, and I love every second of watching such a video.
Thanks a ton gaming harry :) always a pleasure to watch what you put out!!
I bought this game when I graduated high school and I don’t regret it it was an awesome experience and fun to play
Just leaving a comment for support. Doing a great job bro!
Very cool, story and amazing breakdown! I have an idea for the next one, if you would like to do it: Oakwood.
I already know everything but i love your channel and this game so much i still watched it keep it up
I love ghost of Tsushima it was really awesome game and badass in my opinion.
I already know this is a great video
such a master piece! i played it on black and white feels so historical
Your awesome gaming Harry 👍😎 big ups gaming Harry
i cant afford the game but thanks to you you doing this STORY EXPLAINED series much love ❤❤
Do you have ps4 I don't need mines do you want it? I play my PC if you want it I know what it feels like to can't afford something😔
@@vipboyrockywilliams6577WTF?
I have a copy you can have if you want to play it. Also if you have PS Extra it’s free
Ok this one suprised me in a good way through i already know the story more gaming Harry is always good 😊 👍🏿
I loved this game a lot :D
The gameplay mechanics, the characters, the story
Brilliant. Never played this game but I heard a lot good things about it.
I’m resuming this game after 2 years of starting it and leaving it collect dust. I know this wasn’t the purpose of your video but it helped me greatly to catch up with the story without having to restart it.
This by far one of the best and most gorgeous games ever. Such amazing story, and gameplay.
Watching this makes me wanna play the game again for the umpteenth time 😂. Great work with the narrative 👍🏽
Can't watch this one because I still have yet to play it and really want to, so I don't want any spoilers, but still came by to drop it a like and leave some support. I love your content, and always look forward to new uploads. Hopefully I can watch through the entirety of the next one!
Good work cuz 👍
This channel helps me out whenever I work nights and doubles. Hour video? Yeah I’m going on lunch.
Well done!
Takes the hwatcha out
Yeah out for a spin 😎
NO WAY OMG so like when i found out about this game, i was like 'man i really want Harry to do a video on this' and then i refused to watch anything about the game for a while and now my patience has been rewarded! thank you for this video! also kinda curious if you're considering doing a video on Sekiro one day?
I loved this game, so when you announced you'd be doing a Lore and Order on it I was really happy. Excellent video, sir!
The legendary quests are so good they could be short videos on their own.
Love your work man, keep it up. No other youtuber does as detailed videos as yours.
I never played this game, yet, i downloaded it because it was free at that time or discounted. I want now experience it after watching this!
I forgot how beautiful the soundtrack was to this game!
This is what a great game looks like! Thanks for covering it Harry.
OVER ONE HOUR OF NEW LORE AND ORDER CONTENT LIFE IS SO GOOD
Great video man, this was my first time finding your channel. Ghost of Tsushima is amazing, I played through the main story and DLC and I still go back just to explore and fight with random mongols. I really don't understand how TLOU2 beat this game for GOTY.
Also one correction I noticed is that bushido was never truly a concept until the Edo period, which was mostly peaceful. During the early days of the Samurai times (I think kamakura or muromachi period but I might be wrong), the Samurai did fight in a 1v1 duel style, but that would later change. Honor was a different concept then, and Samurai would kill anyone if their lord told them to
Amazing video. Leaving a comment just to help you with the algorithm
This is one of the best historical fiction games ever made. Glad you covered this one.
Not even remotely as most of it is still fictional, but it is beautiful.
@@blumiu2426 historical fiction is just fiction in a historical setting. Much like the hunchback of notre dame and memoirs of a geisha, this game fits that genre.
@@planetaryblogs2392 And I'm talking about fictional elements usually found in such a genre, not just the story being told is fiction. GoT had a lot of inaccuracies for the period and modern Western views inserted, which did break immersion in what we know of the period.
@@blumiu2426 except historical fictional doesn't require 100% accuracy. That's the point of the fiction aspect. I pointed out memoirs of a geisha specifically because it has historical inaccuracies and is considered historical fiction.
@@planetaryblogs2392 You are talking about in a specific context, again, the story being told can be fictional within a historical period. It doesn't need to be related to concrete events, but it can't distort the historical events or it becomes fiction. Fiction can take place in history, a story told within it, not a story told against it. So if a story is said to take place within a specific period in time and to be accurate to it and then present actions that would never take place because of the culture, it goes beyond into just fiction, as it contradicts the history known. Just as we have fantasy take place within Medieval period, they become no different in that context, just one is more grounded in reality.
the mongol ship we take down with ryuzo was literally the most important one, in the battle plans they have names of leaders we know about like temuge,altan,dogshin,etc meaning these battle plans are literally the reason yarikawa was invaded, the reason altan was terrorising people in otsuna. and camps in kamiagata were set up.
The Japanese pride and hubris in thinking that the Mongol would fight as they did is ridiculous and they deserved their defeat
Fun fact: the guy who plays kotun khan played a mongol in the night at the museum movies
Nice
I'm doing my fist play through with this game right now and am loving everything about it. I hope they make a 2nd edition to this game.
