Ghost of Tsushima has finally come to PC. How is it? Let's take a quick look. Subscribe for more: / gameranxtv ▼ Watch more 'Before You Buy': bit.ly/2kfdxI6
I'm really looking forward to trying this later this afternoon. My Mom likes to watch me play video games, it's something we like to do together, and she loves the samurai genre. I am not as into the samurai genre as her, but I am excited to try this. I am primarily a PC gamer and this will be my first time with Ghost of Tsushima. I have seen snippets and bits from video game videos on youtube but I don't think I have been really spoilered. The bits I have seen made me interested in getting it for my PS4 but I just never got around to it. Now with the PC launch I get to try my hand at samurai stealth.
@@MrItsMeMario1337 Thank you! We both are enjoying it. I thought Red Dead 2 had some gorgeous scenery but Tsushima blows it out of the water. The visuals are incredible. The gameplay is good too and both of us are into the story. We're not very far, we are looking for and apprentice archer who supposedly defected to the Mongols, but I suspect there is more to it.
@@cody-adricharper5848 Yeah I pick up this game on launch and it blew me away on how great it looks and plays. I am absolutely addicted to this game right now and it is probably one of my top 5 best games in my list. Glad you are enjoying it and happy that the developers brought it to PC.
I love how whenever Jin is speaking to a downed or seated NPC he always get on his knees to level himself with the person he's talking to. A way to show humility and respect i take? Anyways Jin Sakai is an awesome character.
I was dreaming to play this game on PC, and so far it is even better than I expected 🥰. We are lucky the age of exclusives is ending so we can play anything on any platform.
In regard to your flickering issue, it isn’t a problem on your end. The anti-stutter mod gets rid of it tho if you don’t wanna wait for them to get around it fixing it
Managed to play on my PS4 for a solid 10 hours before it hard crashed and couldnt be turned back on. So glad I can finally experience this game fully on a superior platform
@@hulkhogan12345 GoT was quite literally made for the PS4. As long as your PC hardware is better than the PS5, which mine is, then PC is by definition the superior platform to play this game on now. Man up and stop getting triggered by me stating a simple fact. Better graphics and frames than a PS5= superior platform to play this game on. Get over yourself
@@gameranxTV Please don't. The vast majority of viewers don't have ultrawides. And on my 16:10 display, it's an extra poor viewing experience than from a 16:9 display.
How do you guys not get tired of doing the side quests? Imo they suck especially the ones with the tracks, I was expecting variety but nope. I'm trying really hard to love this game. Ive just finished rdr2 and witcher so maybe its because of that?
I don't know if it was mentioned, but the bug with not moving during Standoffs can be temporarily fixed by opening the main menu and closing it. Right after that, the "Hold" button should work!
I've found that turning V-Sync on and capping the frame refresh rate at 60Hz in the game's display settings solved the issue for me and now I don't ever experience the bug anymore during standoffs. Pausing and unpausing the game didn't always work in my case before I found this alternative solution.
One of my favorite gaming experiences of all time was playing GoT as my first game on PS5, and on OLED. It was the same feeling I got from Halo 3 on Christmas morning, seeing 'hd' for the first time.
I played about 20hrs when it came out and then gave my ps4 to my brother because he was having a kid. Stoked to actually go through this now, on my gaming rig!
I just started downloading the game and hopped on RU-vid thinking there might be a Before You Buy PC version, and there totally was. You guys are totally on point! (as usual).
I wanted to ask, do the attack combos and the way you approach fights become different? From the clips you showed the character is doing the same animations over and over. For example, slash, slash, trip and cut; slash, slash, roll, trip and cut. I guess what I'm asking is, do you get to use a variety of weapons while you fight?
I’m looking to purchase in the next week. I am going to be playing it for the very first time since I was an Xbox guy never played it. But I’m super excited and can’t wait to play it
No performance issues, game ran amazing, only been playing multiplayer and Jesus it’s amazing. Had it on the ps5 for free for a little, but wanted it on pc. Here we are. I’m in love.
how'd u get no performance issues? My game keeps black screening into a blue screen at random moments in the game. Like if I go into settings out of no where it bluescreens
Have watched several people's playthroughs of this game but I am a PC only gamer so have not had the chance to play it for myself...until now! Will be interesting to see how my positive viewing experience translates into personal playing.
@SkyDragonElite For a long time i didn't have the finances for multi-format set ups so just had a PC which i use(d) for other things besides gaming. Nor could i afford to keep topped up on 'new releases' but rather bought games that had been around for a while and discounted. These days though, I am also a more 'older' gamer so part of it is a case of being now stuck in my ways lol. That said I have found there isn't really a lull in games to play or replay.
@@rufus5208 There aren’t any crazy game changing one out yet, so just things like a cheat engine, shaders, and some main menu skips. By mods I just mean whats on nexus right now. But I’m so excited for when it gets deep into modding.
yeah...playing this on a qled ultrawide is really something else. it was gorgeous on the standard ps4, it's simply breathtaking on PC (and I can't even run it at ultra to be fair). and it runs like butter so far. great port, worth the wait
Good review. But anytime you said “widescreen” what you mean is “ultrawide”. Widescreen has been the standard for a long time since we switched from 4:3 to 16:9 which is widescreen.
@gameranx Hey Jake, that flickering is specific to your monitor or any other OLED monitor. It's referred to VRR (variable refresh rate) flicker and you can get rid of it by turning adaptive sync OFF in your monitor settings
I think you should have also pointed out that there are no subtitles for regular npc chatter. Blows my mind how they could have missed this as there are a lot of players who'll be playing the game in Japanese.
If you don't care about the multiplayer side of things or the Playstation overlay you can delete or rename the PSPC_SDK folder in %programdata%\Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc\ to get a 30-70% performance boost. I'm on 1660 Super and before deleting the folder the game ran at around 40fps on high settings. After deleting it the game now runs at around 65fps. This is before even turning FSR3 on.
I have such a slug of a back log and this one is going right into it. I'm sure the community will release a cut scene fix stretch. Look's Damn good! Can't wait to have at it.
I have those flickering issues too, and I'm running a 7800X3D with a 4090 so I don't see it being a hardware issue, but still digging this game. Gotta put it on my Steam Deck now too
I played this on ps4 pro 4 years back and on my oled was the ultimate experience...when i heard it will come to pc i bought an oled monitor and a high end rig to experience it in 200 fps...yeah my 4080 is ready..but the vistas seen for the first time and wind effects with leaflets is jaw breaking
1:42 mentions the world being rendered in high quality flawlessly just as there is some pop in with the fire in the building across the way. right when he says flawlessly lol
Loving this game so far. Playing a 5600X and RTX 3060 12GB GPU. Needed to do some settings tweaking but managed to get about 120FPS. The wait was so worth it. Never played on console before so I am a fresh PC gamer for this title.
I waited 4 years for this game to be launched on pc because I didn't have a ps 4 or ps 5 and I also wanted to have the game in a higher frame rate than on a console. I love it.
I am loving it so far, but don't like that I can't load from an old save if I want to. It auto saves, and can only load from previous save. Is there anyway to overcome that issue ? Great content btw :)
The multiplayer is fantastic… it got overlooked on console, but man I had so much fun with it. Where as the game is very grounded and “realistic” the multiplayer is very mystical and hyper stylish. Cool abilities and enemies, great combat, and frantic as hell. Totally should give it a shot if you get the game
The multiplayer is great, I still play it to this day. The setting is so cool because it's basically got everything from the campaign except your fighting demons in an apocaliptic world. Totally give it a shot. It's not an open world tho like story mode.
The fact that exclusives on consoles still exist in 2024 is insane to me. Im pretty sure pc gaming has take over the past few years. Theres no reason to make exclusives anymore...
The graphical bugs you experience, Jake, I experienced the exact same ones. Different monitor too. Settings enabled during graphical bugs are DLSS Quality & Frame Generation, my guess is it’s something to do with that lol
I remember I played it until an update when it would try to download it even though it was already installed. It was wasting data like crazy so it remains a core memory of a unusually well crafted game. Up there with the witcher 2 and 3.
@@user-kw6vh2ls3f The real Yasuke was nothing more than a glorified servant and a historical nobody all things considered. Naturally some dumbass at Ubisoft thought it was a good idea to him the MC over an actual Japanese person. Further proof that DEI's are a cancerous blight to the world
the black bar flicker happens when you have frame gen enabled. I've heard that it gets fixed if you disable it on the settings (fix from GoT steam discussion).
@@Sumi_S Yeah these statements are disingenuous whenever they pop up for a game like this most of the time. A lot of it seems like it's just salt and FOMO because they can't afford it. Which sucks, def been there before myself. At least this port of GOT is actually worth the price tag. You definitely get your moneys worth with this one. Very impressive and unexpected level of quality and optimization. Might be the best PC port I've seen in many years if ever. Especially for a Playstation game.
