I will never understand peoples obsession with graphics. I just dont care if a game looks realistic or not. Gameplay loop over everything. Style is a nice bonus.
Exactly. I just finished my first playthrough of knights of the old republic, and I couldn't care less about how dated the graphics were
Well, many of us care. I paid a shit ton of money so I could afford latest hardware to run these games, I want them to actually consume the extra power
I don't think he is talking about realism... but in its fidelity mode, it really should be looking a lot sharper. There is nothing about this representation that should be pressuring a ps5 like that.
I used to care about graphics when I was younger but as an adult I've realized being shallow about how a game looks really makes you miss out on some great games. Especially going back and playing older games that may not have aged super well.
That's just one layer of this games shit sandwich so it just makes it all more unacceptable. We love Fromsoftware and they don't focus on graphics, so you can't just say everyone disliking this game is just thinking about graphics
Having grown up in the late 90s and 2000s I was already wowed by PS4 era graphics when they came out. Even though this doesn't hold up to the modern standard, it still looks objectively good in a vacuum. Art direction is more important to fidelity to me, and above that is gameplay, story, and performance.
Same here.
Same
Sifu was great.
@@Timbo6669loved that game so cool and same
Only fools buy 550$ costing this gen console and pay for 70$ for a game which qualifies as ps3 game.
Stop justifying the low quality games and robbery price they ask for them. Just go back to play your ps2, there is many good games for u still much cheaper price.
This looks like a game I would have a really good time with, for about $35-40
That’s what I was thinking. Def getting it when it’s around $40
As someone who bought day one and am having a lot of fun for it, I think that’s fair. I love team ninja and don’t mind giving them my $$, but this is absolutely a game that will be on sale this summer, maybe even PlayStation plus (remember, wo long was day 1 game pass)
thats what i said
Not sure where you’ll find it that cheap, maybe 6 months from now. $70 is a good price now considering Mc Donald’s costs me $15
@@none3769This comment just screams you make bad decisions.
There needs to be more of a tiered cost system instead of everyone thinking they can charge $70 for most games that aren't indies
If this was $40-50 it would be more worth it and would probably sell a lot more and make more money overall anyway
@plannein I'd actually buy this if this was like 45, but 70 is way too much
I've been thinking this for YEARS. Even when games were blanket $59.99 it was ridiculous. Not all games are equal and it's really sad that they are treated that way. Luckily, most games are discounted 15-25% after the first few months and 40-50% within half a year to a year. I rarely buy games full price anymore. I'm tired of games needing years of patches before they are at the quality they should have been when they were released. That's if they are even patched at all. I'm over that shit, and over FOMO in general. Been gaming too long to have such low standards.
Right. Games like cyberpunk or the witcher have seemingly endless content. For the same price suicide squad was over in about 10 hrs with little to do after. The difference is insane
It’s worth the $ it’s a huge game y’all jus trust reviewed too much lmao
Thank you daddy Luke for telling me what to think
😂 that’s usually the exact opposite of he wants you to do
😂😂😂
Omg lmao
Lmao
Outrageous
Matthew Perry was the American admiral that landed in Japan in the 1850s effectively ending the Tokugawa shogunate’s era of isolationism and indirectly leading to the Mejia restoration. And yes, there is also Luke and Matthew Perry who are actors. Very confusing indeed.
Matthew Perry died October 2023 in his hottub.
Who landed. Who.
Rise of the Rōnin was my most anticipated game for the first-half of 2024 and after playing it for just about 5hrs now I can certainly say that it doesn’t disappoint! At least I’m loving it. 😊
Ty for the opinion. I buy games considering gamers opinions over the reviewers so thanks.
Oh same here. I play team ninja games for the sheer enjoyment I get out of the combat, they always deliver in that aspect
Same here! GOTY imo
How is it compared to ghost of tsushima
@@none3769 glaze of the year
big reason why we see games become so expensive to make and to purchase is because of the public's expectation to be the most photorealistic and the most intricate and detailed experience. the PS2 era had SO many darn games because it was an era of experimentation and now we have games that cost 80 dollars on release that might not even be a finished product.
all in all i just hope the state of triple A games improves. games cost too much and i want to support the devs in making their passion projects as much as i can
Not to boast or anything, but I am glad to see this comment because the last few comments I've made on this channel has been exactly what you are saying. I love to see others talk more about this, as it seemed like I was the only one with this sentiment.
@@CommanderCodyChipless for real! i just wanna be able to have healthy discourse on games and its hard to have that when negativity thrives in settings like social media.. thats what gets put on the for front.
Meanwhile, I spend my own money on a decent system and games like this are released which take a big dump on it, while charging me double what a AA game, which this very much is, cost five years ago. Sorry, not buying the sob story. If this game cost $40-50, you might have an argument. This low quality game doesn't deserve the defense for $70.
They are so expensive because of standards and then we get lowest of lows..... You eh argued against yourself and defeated yourself.
On the surface the statement doesn't even make sense when you consider how common digital is now. Shouldn't be but it. Things done are done cheaper now.
The problem in gaming is likely gamers aren't making the games and have no say.
@@F1jones then you don't know how money works. And that's fine, most gamers don't know, or even care to know. But unfortunately it's absolutely reasonable for this game to be charged for 70 dollars. The faults it has is not enough to argue that it should have been a 40 dollar game. The game, whether you like it or not, offers enough to be sold at 70. This goes back to my main point in my previous comments that I believe gamers have become too critical without realizing. They praise older games for whatever reasons, but don't realize those games were sold at 60 and almost on average were unfinished, glitchy, and had a lot of faults you don't typically see in modern games. Yet, we have those same gamers whining about pop-in or low resolution graphics as if it's something we've never seen before. It's ridiculous.
You got to love the obligatory ''stealth'' mission, where all of the guards stand at attention...facing a wall of a bookshelf or something.
It is fascinating to me that stealth games 20 years ago were so complex and intricate, where now all games are so dumbed down for the braindead masses.
Thats why I stopped playing Got
Team ninja isn’t known for stealth though.
Can you name a few that aren’t metal gear? Genuinely curious as I agree, I always thought I hated stealth mechanics but I realized most of the time I was just playing a game with bad stealth lol
@@Saint_Arodthe older splinter cell games
@@user-ic8yo9sr5kWym it doesn’t do that at all
The difference between PS4 and PS5 was not that much of a graphical jump, so I don't really care as much. But if you are charging $70, I would care a bit more.
Look at marvel 1943 rise of hydra. That game looks amazing and looks next gen!
For that price this quality is outrageous!!!
I don't think the graphics are bad enough to get upset over.
For $70? I think it needs to look better
Same much more interested in the story and game play being solid and holding my attention for a lengthy period of time when it comes to that price tag. Obv if the graphics were absolute shit then it would be different but these look very good.
@@djspit8929 I don't agree with the price rise to $70 in the first place, so that's just kind of arbitrary. I'd be more inclined to criticise the game's tired open world structure - because that is the part that is really showing its age.
@@Glane6339 PS4 graphical standards really are the point of diminishing returns, especially for devs like Team Ninja.
Its 70$, more than elden ring.....dude. You have low standards for higher prices.
People still play Genesis/PS1/PS2 games to this day; there are many games that art direction, story, and gameplay make them timeless.
Graphics are not the be all and end all of games.
It’s 2024 not 2010. This game looks like butt.
these games don't cost 70$ in 2024
It's ok to say the game looks ugly. As you said, graphics arent everything but if a game looks a full generation behind whats out there it's fine to point it out. Especially because the game doesn't have a strong art style to back it up.
Brother, there is good art direction and bad art direction, Elden Ring, Sekrio, Dark Souls 1-3, Bloodborne etc. don't have good graphics either, but the art direction makes them beautiful, this game has bad art direction, that's just it
@@kajak8979 exactly, I dont know why they're pretending to praise it's art direction where clearly it wasn't even a concerted effort.
On a ship it makes sense to have the head away from the wall as the sides of the ship experience more rocking/disturbance with the ship’s movement than the center would.
The headboard should always be near the wall. 😂 I think they did it on purpose.
I’m assuming the headboard goes against the wall for comfort. I mean if something bad happened in the room, like a burglar, you would upside down.
I think it's because of the waves, if it was headboard side to the wall, the bed and your head would get slammed against the wall of ship when huge waves tilt the ship
Except the bed is flush against the wall meaning if its tilting the other way your sliding feet first towards that wall and not head first. It's really neither since a lot of ships go side against the wall, one to make it easier not to roll out of bed dealing with ship movement and two, like you said if the ship tilts you're sliding side first which is considerably safer than sliding head or feet first. @@Baell1
I'm not a big graphics guy, but I have to agree with the analysis here. It is so frustrating how little games have jumped forward with the PS5. They have such overblown ridiculous budgets, but they don't look like it. Couple that with Sony saying we're already halfway through the PS5's lifecycle and it's very frustrating to look at the prospect of being sold a PS6 without the PS5 even being fully utilized
How exactly Sony claimed we're halfway is beyond my understanding. The console launched in late 2020, and most people could actually get their hands on it by 2022. Only 3 years have passed and the life cycle of a console is supposed to be 7 years, so there's still 1 and a half year remaining for the PS5 to reach halfway there. It makes me sad that sony will abandon this beautiful piece of tech one day. But it's life and it must go on...
Shits a joke bro there is no excuse for it
@@bhabhutiji1169its been out 3 1/2 years that’s half of 7
@@kingofnara not everyone could get it in 2020, most peopel got it by 2021 or 2022, because of the scalpers and Sony not producing enough stock. So you can't really say it has reached half of it's cycle.
@@bhabhutiji1169 yes you can because it’s still came out in 2020 regardless if you couldn’t get it, it was still out
i actually sleep like that because i can hear the buzzing of the fridge on the other side of the wall of my room if my head is against it, so i have to sleep with my head away from the wall, aka on the inside of the room, so the sound disperses through the room and i don't hear the annoying, tinnitus-like buzzing. this way though my head's directly facing my tv when i'm lying on my right side so that's another plus.
I dunno, I got both Ronin and Dragon's dogma, and after putting a little over 3 hours into each to see which game I liked most, I think I'll be playing Ronin first. Guess I just like the setting more.
Im 2 hours in and am loving it. DD2 is next on my list
Agreed dd2 felt jank to me
@@cowel8734 nice I’m about to go to GameStop to pick up my copy! How’s the story gameplay and the graphics!
Hard to beat team ninjas combat as well
Dd2 much better. Trust me
I gotta say off the top I’m about 8 hours in and I love this game. All I’ve seen is people say how bad this game is going to be, but give no explanations other than the graphics. And while the graphics don’t hold up when compared to things like “Ghost of Tsushima.” Looking at them objectively they are good. And don’t detract from the overall experience at all. If you don’t play it because it doesn’t look photo realistic then you’re missing out on an incredible game.
Low FR is much worse imo which is why I couldn't justify dd2.
70 dollars for a game that looks like it was made for ps3-ps4 generation not PS5 where you have games for the same price that look 100 times better is a pretty big and valid reason, the whole point of buying a ps5 is the extra power to make games look really really good
Let me propose you to look at how Batman Arkham Knight or AC: Unity are in respects to graphics, and compare them to Rise of the Ronin
Photorealism is absolutely boring
@@maertean you sound hyper shallow, must be the console brain rot joking aside. Graphic is not everything for a game gameplay is king, you have the right to like interactive movie game but it is not the norm.
@@maertean Stop bringing up graphics Lol. Yall haven’t even played the game so yall just bringing up the graphics and the frame rate. Let me give some real reasons this game is no good for the price. First off, idk why anyone at Team Ninja thought people would enjoy running place to place just to pet cats, set up bonfire flags, and pray at shrines. Shit is a boring chore.. Second of all, story line is complete cringe and wack. At least Woo Long followed a better storyline. And graphics looked great too.. Third of all, they show their laziness in creating this game by have you chase down markers on the map as “Locations you should visit”… I just go to the locations just to get the notification then immediately leave the area once it says I’ve visited the location. Also, there is nothing to actually interact with in the world. You just run around the world on a horse spamming one button to collect stuff for crafting etc. If you try to even slice or kill the animal’s in the world.. They just get scared and disappear. And to actually get their loot as if you killed them, all you have to do is run along side the animals and press your collect button to pick up their loot and they just vanish. Cmon man… like It’s definitely not the worst game ever.. But if you’re telling me $70-$85 is worth the price. I’d say hell fucking nah. I pre ordered the game and I hope it gets better.. Because so far I’m not impressed…

Love your content
we need a different phrase than "mixed bag" - cause mixed bags are usually awesome, variety packs of candy, trail mix, oatmeal, etc
mixed bags are S tier
I couldn't disagree more. I'd take the bag of candy then throw the trail mix in the bin. Salty and sweet popcorn is 50% disappointment. I don't want a mixed bag, I want one tasty treat that tastes like I expect. A nice, simple and reliable flavour.
Are u kidding me?? Mixed bag is like the Biden administration. You expect something good, but only get it 10% of the time if you’re lucky.
I’ll just say that practically nobody like licorice jelly beans, but there they are looking more or less like grape.
Annnnd.... I'm hungry.
Kettle popcorn is best lol @Vigsol
Well, putting the ps logo on helldivers 2 turned out to be a pretty good idea. Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss!
I always love watching your videos Luke. Keep up the great work. Please don't ever change the way you make videos, keep being yourself. We love you mate.
I've played the game for a few hours and have just arrived at its first big city. It's been very enjoyable for me so far, and I haven't encountered any major glitches either.
It seems that while the critics are having a sook about this game, anyone who is actually playing it is having a blast.
This game is a perfect example of why you really shouldn't take a critics word as law and make your own decisions.
Graphics have never been a driving factor on whether or not I enjoy a game or not.
This games combat is so fun and satisfying!
It is getting way too much hate he says that it looks like a PS3 game and I find that such a reach he knows damn well this it does not look like a PS3 game He's just jumping on that bandwagon and his fans are just going to do the same thing not all of them but most of them. Like you said this game is fun most gamers besides critics are saying the same thing. Kind of funny how most of the critics are saying the same thing and most of the gamers are saying the same thing but the opinions are completely opposite. A good critic is not biased and all of their bias are showing
The main menu looks exactly like ghost of Tsushima
Yeah I’m surprised they copied it that on the nose!
Erm, literally, Nioh 1 and 2 title screen is the exact same? 😂 they didn't copy anything
Inspiration, not copy
@@zak1872fr
Nah it’s literally the same menu as nioh. Which has been around much much longer than ghost of Tsushima 💀💀
I feel like there are so many cool aspects of this game that were a. under marketed, and b. underappreciated. Like how often do you get to switch between you, and other party member in a fully fledged action RPG?
2 points made by raptor seems to me like a skill issue tho
Thing is, the graphics that we get today(If increased) are not sustainable for the long run when it comes to game budget and time. Not defending this game but i think graphics now a day need to stay and be sharpened up to be 4k 60fps...
if we keep increasing the graphics it will get worse...focus on honing these graphics and increase art direction.
@@lum1notryc828 No but im saying when do we stop caring about graphics when we have had insanely greay graphical games already? id personally be totally okay if we gotten something like horizon/TLOU Part 2 or death stranding tier graphics again but with diff art/gameplay and 60fps.
Bruh, Rise: Son of Rome had better graphics and that came out on release with the Xbox 360. Your point is wildly invalid.
It’s crazy how graphics didn’t matter for Elden Ring but they do for this game 😐
Elden Ring had great art direction and combat, and much more. This has none of that
Because the graphics in Elden Ring are good?
@@wintermoretti yeah for 2012. As for the other guy idk what any of that stuff has to do with the graphics
@@RyanBurnsRed literally what’s wrong with the graphics? I mean compared to this game they’re miles better, not a HUGE graphics person but idk how u can make a comparison between the two…
@@wintermoretti you’re kidding right? Ronin doesn’t have amazing graphics sure but to say Elden Ring is miles better has to be a joke. The textures, lighting, shadows, etc. literally the graphics, not the art direction are not miles better than this game. Respectfully if you can’t see how bad the graphics of Elden Ring are for a 2022 game and you’re trashing this game you got to take your fanboy glasses off. I don’t get the hate this game is getting.
I think a lot of people are missing the fact that this was built to be a niche game like Nioh as most Team Ninja games are. People complain about the graphics (even all TN games look similar in fidelity), but if you look at the combat, frames, hit boxes, etc. you’ll notice it’s extremely clean and fluid. They put their time in the experience of combat the most. Their mission was not to make the next God of War. It was to take what they’ve learned from their previous games, their best things, and translate that into their FIRST open world game. It’s a very good game.
Random question…what kind of shelves do you have in the background there. I really like the look 🤔🤔👍
Love the game.
And tbf, I can’t believe how Dragon’s Dogma 2 with all its flaws has gotten such high reviews.
No mention of MTX, the save file bs, the terrible performance. I mean, wtf?
Because despite all of that the game is immensely fun and isnt that same to be said about ronin?? My god man think for yourself instead of being influenced by youtubers and comments on reddit lol
It's at 40% on steam, what do you mean by high reviews?
MTX are optional for things you can earn and farm in game. If you want to buy rift Crystals to hire a level 99 pawn and blow through the game that's on you
@@jonnyTT6you sound like you’re influenced by RUclipsrs by this comment going against him.
@@jonnyTT6Sounds like both are legitimately fun despite the issues, except one has worse issues and got higher scores because it has better graphics.
That's the point.
Joraptor loves ass creeds games but dissed on this one and boy did he get slayed in the comments on his video. 😊
Matthew Perry fought in the war of 1812, for America vs. Canada. When The U.S. thought Britain was occupied with Napoleon they launched an invasion of British owned Canadian territories for the fur trade. They fought over the Great Lakes in Michigan. Matthew Perry talked about ships being slick with blood and people slipping on it, and when his command ship went down he went to another ship to take command. I had to write an essay about it in college haha.
To be fair, the pillow placement is the least of my issues with that interior of a 19th century ship. Liberties was definitely taken with that look.
Dude. There's women Samurai in the 1700's. That's some liberties ngl, ask any japanese lol
Luke, if you read this, just want to say I used to get upset at your videos for how skeptical you are about every game I’ve ever loved. But now you’re my go-to channel for gaming news. Thanks for sticking to your guns and always telling it how it is. We do need people such as yourself to push the gaming industry forward
I’m starting to get the opposite opinion of him. A lot of his videos are him just saying the same thing over and over again to inflate the run time.
He also seems to think some things are way more important than they are. Take graphics for example. A lot of older games are still incredibly fun to play and look like shit. Sly cooper games, Mario 64, most ps2 metal gears.
It all about the gameplay and how immersive the world is. It doesn’t need to be photo realistic. At the same time if you’re honesty expecting a box of already outdated hardware to continue pushing the graphical limits of games you’re going to be disappointed every single time.
As far as I know, the headboard would be placed away from the outer ship walls so that when the ship rocked your head wouldn't be at either extreme of the rock. It's the same reason beds were typically placed perpenticular to the front orientation of the ship, or they forgoed them entirely in favor of hammocks, so as to avoid rollouts.
That's been my rudimentary understanding of the bed situation
17:07 How could I not adore a game where they've made the late Chandler Bing into a boss fight?
Damn that opening menu reminded me of Ghost 😭
More like copied ghost of tsushima
Bro Nioh 1 and 2 had the same loading screens lmfao
I like 7s and 8s, especially when they specialize in what I like. I’m def diving into this one. Looks like assassin’s creed with possibly better combat, which I’m here for.
It is like that and very engaging. Loving it so far
Having so much fun. These reviewers are out of touch and shills afraid to get abandoned by these studios.
Ghost of Tsushima is the best Assassins Creed game
@@timholloway8821lol or we can just play a vastly superior game like GoT. Which is not only cheaper, but also better across the board.
Hello Luke, i just knew you a month ago and i like your reviews and opinions on games and game theories. Keep up the good work, hope you have a great day❤.
They place the bed models in the room but forgot to rotate it.
I, for one, watch Luke Stephens for the discussion of headboard placements. Why else would you? Games? Go take a seat…. please.
15:30 That's just bad feng shui.
It’s really surprising and at the same time not that people get confused with all the information available now a days and coverage of games
The game is rough around the edge, and the story doesn't make a whole lot of sense when going in blind. If you're familiar with the period...all of this constant side-changing makes sense, given that the pre-Boshin era was basically a cold war between the Imperial and Shogunate sides, with the people on either side changing regularly as the motivations of each side is constantly shifting, as well. Lastly, your character's alignments are basically mirroring those of Sakamoto, who was all over the place in terms of his connections. My biggest issue with the game from that story perspective is in its conveyance of all this. It makes choosing a side into a big deal. But it really isn't, mechanically or story-wise by and large, even later on as the choice you make does matter a bit more and all.
That said, the combat is great, the environmental storytelling and the art direction is immersive. The graphics themselves do need work, but mostly I think in terms of optimization, not in terms of raw quality. I think it's best to view this game in the same way you might view some of the older Assasin's Creed games: as a thematic exploration of history through a game with a heavy dose of fiction
Luke, your favor of graphic fidelity is alot of what drives the game industry. We end up with pretty games that have shit mechanics and are always shallow. Bad writing, "live services" and sequels.
If devs were not always pushed to make the pretty new shiny thing, we might get aaa games that try new things. But the dev time is 5+ years and hundreds of millions of $ to get to market. If we want good games with new ideas, we cant always bitch about graphics. This game looks fine, Im not gonna play it, but not because its not bleeding edge pretty.
Edit; after posting this I saw your footage of the white horse in the courtyard. I amend my statement to say this game does look like shit, but thats still not the big thing we should discuss.
70 dollars and a next gen game warrant atleast good graphics not even great
It is one of those games you would wait to drop on the PS plus lol.
I don't see myself paying to play this game.
No, we will be buying
Day 1 baby!
Will this come to pc?
As far as bed thing goes....maybe they are facing the wall, because they are on a boat and seeing things sway left and right might make u queasy as opposed to facing the wall which won't move, relative to the sleeper
i’m just gonna wait for stellar blade…
Game has been purchased! ;)
Rebel 😂 I'm thinking about it too. To be so excited about 2 games and then not getting either is a little too much. This looks more finished.
Game is alot of fun
I paid €70 for Rise of the Ronin and thus far have no complaints. The game is gorgeous and the combat system is stellar.
I’ve played literally 12 hours non stop the game is fun and addictive very unique in its own right and hooks you with its combat and systems
I was actually surprised to see the Sony intro when the game booted up. I didn’t realize they were this embedded in the project and had assumed this was just a paid exclusivity deal like Final Fantasy, which does not sport the Sony intro despite being exclusive to the console.
Nioh was like this as well
This review is gonna be epic! Luke never disappoints.
The instinct to sleep facing the entrance to the room is in fact natural and a defence strategy so that your back is not to an intruder when you get up.
As the room is a shared room with other purposes the large headboards pointing inwards gives you more privacy.
The negative reviews of this game are infuriating. I have long been in the camp of "give me good gameplay over good graphics and give me good AA games over bloated AAA ones" - and RotR is delivering that in spades. This is such a great fun game and for these guys who I trust like LS and JR take a dump on it is so disappointing. Seriously makes me question their judgement on many other things... /sad
Problem is it’s priced as a AAA game.
Complaining about graphics instead of the quality of the game is absolutely crazy, who fucking cares if the grass looks real for ducks sake
@@Drummylife buddy, I bet most people in this comment section could animate a horse to move as good as they did.
Why are reviews that you have no control over infuriating? Focus on shit in your life that you can control

Ronin is good because its fun so ingore all the negatives but dd2 is bad because of its negatives. Lmao idiots will be idiots
ronin has been more fun than dogma for me so far
Also why does that horse run like a corgi? Was that the only animal they had for reference?

15:52 It's an Asian thing, an old superstition. They believed back then that your soul would walk out of your body if your feet were facing towards the room instead of the walls. Not only that, demons often grabbed you by the ankles and dragged you out the windows or door. I just made this up and yep, I don't know why the designer did the bed this way lol
Great video!! And thank you for breaking down that part about how the game has the Sony Entertainment stsmp despite what sony said
I'll definitely pick this up if it comes to PC so I can have all the visual bells and whistles at 60+fps.

I'm glad you gave it a shot. Ronin is one of those games you really may have to play for yourself. To me, it's all about expectations. If you expect this to be Nioh 3, you'll be disappointed. If you expect it to be an in house AAA Sony game you'll be disappointed. If you can meet it where it's at, it could be really fun. I'm just a few hours in and am enjoying it so far. I was surprised how well they pulled off the beginning motivation before the title card. A technical stunner it is not, but the visual composition can be beautiful. Humans are visual animals. I have no doubt if it has art and textures even on par with Elden Ring it would've broken into the 80s on Metacritic. Easier said than done though. It takes many artists and programmers many years to create beautiful games, and there's always a trade-off.
personally i won't buy another team ninja game unless they really put effort into it. wo long was disappointing and seeing them release the next game just a year later with a 70 bucks price tag makes me think they really just want the money. if they bash out another low effort game next year they're done tbh
@@ShadowsnoonRonin was in development for eight years alongside both Nioh and Wo Long. It is anything but low effort. Best to be informed and hold expectations accordingly. Part of the problem with the low visual fidelity is that they started so long ago and were also adapting their engine to an entirely new style of game. That said I do have higher expectations for their next current gen exclusive game.
@@learntoswimify what does development time have to do with "effort?" Are you familiar with Skull and Bones?
@@F1jonesSkull and Bones was developed under very specific and cynical circumstances. Ronin is Yasuda's passion project. It's ridiculous to call it low effort just because you don't like it.
I totally and actually do have my headboard facing the middle of the room. I somehow don't feel comfortable with being in the corner
The Bed thing is probably an instinct. if you face from the wall you can see incoming threats wwhile in opposite site would leave you defenseless.
nintendo charged 70 for zelda tears of the kingdom but there was silence....that's all I have to say
let the normies have the graphical movie games
it would be boring if all games were like them
to be clear.. i still would recommend waiting for updates for optimization
Ps4 graphics on a ps5 exclusive is crazy
The beds were probably positioned that way so that it would be easier to unload when they get off (The headboard acts like a handle)
or devs doesn't know how to install furniture in the room.
That scene where they dodge the bullets and deflect them with their swords is just too funny man 😂😂😂
Your cat is cool
Why is 76 considered “mixed” now
Like any game ever? @@derkitheofficial3306
Has anyone else played all of the way of the samurai games? I was truly hoping that this was just a continuation of those games because I really do miss them and they’ve just been cast aside as an entire series.
Different studios means different standards for game graphics presentations. That is the only way they can differentiate each other. The gameplay and story will be the basis if this game will be good.
Exactly! I didn't get the confusion about Sony publishing this.
I really don't mind the PS3 graphics, specially if it means the game will run smoothly at max settings in most machines, however, if the game runs badly and has outdated graphics, then it's a big problem, the devs have no excuse
Not gonna lie I played for a hour and was like wtf ???😂😂 I have a LG C2 OLED tv and the graphics are terrible. The way the characters move I hate. For this to debut March 2024 , no way the graphics should be like that . If you would ask me I want a refund. It’s hard for me imo to play Spiderman, God Of War, Horizon and Ghost of Tsushima and resort to this. Those games set the bar so high and are masterpieces . I’m not impressed , it’s not worth $70 it’s like a $50 game. I could see this game being remastered in the future. For me if the graphics suck and player movement suck I can’t get into it
I’m confused, did you not watch any trailers or gameplay before buying? They never advertised it as a graphically cutting edge game.
@@rp2808 I watched them, still decided to give it a fair shot and it’s kinda dumb imo . I’m just 1 guy with 1 opinion . Wasn’t for me. I didn’t buy a PS5 to play a PS4 game lol
@@WhhodeyDMH fair enough, but still don’t understand how you could expect it to graphically look really good if you saw the trailers.
@@WhhodeyDMHI agree with you. I dove in the water while playing and was fuckin floored ! The mechanics need a lot of work
@@WhhodeyDMH Ohh the irony...60% of the games on PS5 were made in engines that PS4 used to run games, back than you played them in 30fps, and now in 60..the reason you think it looks better is cause now you maybe have better TV more HZ and moooore fps..graphics are still in that PS4 era for the most games xd
This game is what i wanted Ghost of Tsushima to be. I never finished it as i did get bored, but i can't stop playing Rise of the ronin
hows the foliage density?
I really tried to get into this but after a country let of days ..I can't it's awful , the UI design sucks , the graphics suck, the acting sucks I feel like I'm playing a 15 year old game ...going in to resell it thank god dragon's dogma came out same day
I chose this over Dragon's Dogma 2. I chose poorly. I'm still going to try and finish it and I really did enjoy the first part of the game but I've been sorely disappointed as the longer I've played the more boring/repetitive it's become. Even then a lot of flaws could be overlooked if they weren't trying to pass this off as AAA game. It's not. This is a AA game in every way.
I watched Jor's review and he was criticising the open world stuff while never doing so in AC games so don't trust his review
I'm 6 hours into ronin and the open world stuff is basically the same as AC's map clutter but in ronin all of them offer worthy rewards hell almost everything you do is rewarded
AC's map are much better
@@Shad_2kDoesn't matter how good it looks I've completed every AC game and the map stuff is always mundane tasks with little reward
@@XxWolfxWaRioRxX ive finished a good bit of AC games I enjoy the side quests 🤷🏽♂️
@@Shad_2k Some of the side quests are decent I'm talking about the other stuff like outposts and other side filler
I was expecting something like kingdom come deliverance
I'm enjoying this game as much as any other I've played in the past 5 years. Any of them!
Yeah this game is really fun tbh its getting a little too much criticism. Should have been like 40$ though.
should be the same price as helldivers (or even lower)
My only thing with people is. Expecting amazing visuals from team ninja is insanity. Like going to chick fil a and expecting to get a bison burger
Nobody sleeps like that and if they do, they're definitely insane!
How do i stop your videos ruddy showing up.
£70 for that?! For comparison, Elden Ring was £50...
Exactly dont be bamboozled
Was elden ring seriously $50 at launch??? Wtf? That’s legit like one of the best games I’ve ever played
@@squashua7222it was 60
@squashua7222 If was £48 and 60 Dollars.
Ever heard of the massive inflation that made everything more expensive...
The graphics argument doesn't make any sense to me. Go play Outer Wilds, a game with super basic graphics for 2019 and it blows out of the water 99.9% of the games with "cutting edge technology".
Yes but was Outer Wilds $70?
Graphics don't always have to be cutting edge. But if you're charging a high price tag, people will understandably expect high quality
@@hannahw7023 Stil doesn't make sense to me. What if the game lasts 200 hours? then its worth it? What about games that last 6 hours then? Dark souls 1 didn't look that great and it was 60. It's bad that now we have elden ring being 4 times the size at the same price? And neither were cutting edge for it's time. I love them both but this is nonsense, a lot of crap games were always 60.
I love it, reminds me of the golden age of 2010-2016 freeflow combat open world games. It’s an old formula and it works.
About the headboard thing, I agree with you, it makes sense to put the headboard against the wall. However, putting the headboard on the opposite side lets you have access to more air i n the room. and iwth stinkey old ships I bet it makes a hell of a differents.
15:30 my brother sleeps like that lol
This game so fun so far... Im about 4 hours in and loving it... Its like GoT with better combat and its 2000% more Japanese.
