@@Alexmaked222 I have played the game twice, 100% it. It was totally more engaging and refreshing than most open world games on the market. About the only time I really copened my map was when I was in the collectables stage of the 100% but by that time the foxes and birds are done their thing.

Worth mentioning that the multiplayer mode was tacked on after the PlayStation release. To the developer’s credit completely for free, in that context the multiplayer was amazing!

Yeah, at a time were developers were often charging people for content that was made pre release, SP made an entire free mode with dozens of hours of content. The fact the gameplay deviates from the main game is actually more impressive in that sense because it’s both free and relatively original.

@happyninja42 Месяц назад

I think my favorite armor build was the Ghost Armor, with a series of charms that maximized the terror mechanic, coupled with the fire mechanic. Basically the ghost armor has a baseline % chance to scare enemies away when you kill one of their nearby allies, but there is also a charm that just boosts the % chance mechanic for ANY gear you have. AND, there is also a charm that applies a fear effect % whenever fire is deployed in combat. So between all the stacking mechanics, you have a build that can very easily just panic half the cluster of enemies (effectively "killing" them as they run away and are no longer a target), while you are saved from having to fight 20+ people. It was REALLY fun, a lot of people called it Samurai Batman.

@Bedlam83 Месяц назад

Absolutely fantastic game. One of my favorites from the last few years. Probably also one of the best when it comes to avoiding typical open-world bloat tbh. Yes, there are collectibles but they are 1. not as numerous 2. don't take up a lot of time 3. and the few times they do take longer (shrine climbing sections around cliffs and such), they are actually fun to do.

@rossnelson7084 Месяц назад

I experienced the "Hold Button" bug quite a lot through my playthrough. So much so that I had to change my mentality about the main character. I turned it into a Strong Belwas (from A Song of Ice and Fire) simulator: "Strong Belwas they name me in the fighting pits of Meereen. Never did I lose. I let each man cut me once, before I kill him. Count the cuts and you will know how many Strong Belwas has slain." Also, one issue that was particularly vexing to me was the Perfect Dodge and Perfect Parry windows are sometimes modified or non-existent depending on the duel opponent. For example, on the DLC island of Iki, there is a bokken tournament where the final opponent is Sao. If you wear the armor that increases the Perfect Dodge and Perfect Parry window, it breaks the dodge and parry completely, meaning you can't win without cheesing it. Changing to a different armor fixed that, but took me way too long to diagnose that issue.

@BMHume Месяц назад

Great review, as always 🙂 I remember playing GoT for the first time on PS4 right after its release and how it blew me away - the story, the soundtrack, the atmosphere... It doesn't reinvent the wheel with regard to open world design, but it manages to make parts of the collectathon so enjoyable. I'm currently replaying it on PC, and the slow, thoughtful moments (hot springs, haikus) capture me a lot more than during my first playthrough years ago. Really looking forward to finishing the main game and moving on to Iki Island for the first time.

@mhjmstultiens Месяц назад

Good review and very fair points. In my initial response I totally forgot about the guiding wind gameplay mechanic. 100% Agree that this is a very lore and gameplay friendly way to guide around the player, without taking that person out of the gameplay. A novel idea and well executed in GoT. Would love to see that (or its equivalent) back in more games.

@FR-oz9px Месяц назад

It’s one of the games I really enjoyed playing and getting the platinum trophy was actually fun for me, because I wasn’t ready to leave this world behind. Even the multiplayer is enjoyable and that’s something I rarely like. Not having a radar up at all times and being able to just navigate by visual cues is really underrated in many games. To me, it’s been breathtakingly beautiful on PS4, a typical end-of-generation game. I wonder how the next AC game will compare. I feel like Suckerpunch managed to beat Ubisoft at their own game and I’m glad to see that happening.

That's...appreciated. "As this is a PC channel, I pretty much never talk to them." Feels. "...prefer to play with a keyboard and mouse" -- with a keyboard ON a mouse, as it turns out.

@neodav00001 Месяц назад

The upshot on the open world seems to be that it doesn't do anything revolutionary, but it does so with an absolute ton of style and flash. That matches really well with my own time with the game back when it first came out. I cleared every map marker, did every sidequest, and enjoyed almost every minute of it. Even the stuff that felt a little repetitive and checkbox-ey was presented in such a cool way that I didn't mind at all.

@doctorlolchicken7478 27 дней назад

One thing I like about this channel is Mortismal always acknowledges he is a content creator and that can influence his view of the game if he’s not careful. For example, noting that performance was affected by the need to record video. Sounds minor, but so many content creator reviewers talk games down if they have issues recording, or the game is too long, or they don’t get a review copy, or the game takes time to get into.

I really like the small things this game offered. You can sometimes find boards with signs like flute or bowing plastered on its surface and if you do it, you can get pretty funny moments (like suddenly tens of frogs coming out of the ground). You can also bow to pay respect to any dead civilian you encounter in the wild and Jin will give interesting one liner. The saving grace for the DLC is that you can pet cats, deers, and monkeys. They’re so freaking adorable! 😂

I've also 100%'ed everything in the PC version (on lethal) except for the multiplayer. Was fun to do it again since I haven't played / 100%ed it since the PS4 version.

There's other things too but still.... Like I said overall a great story but still.

The online mode is pretty cool especially as you progress to a higher level and more expanded moveset. The scope is limited, but there's a good bit of co-op nuance to beating some of the more difficult challenges. Once you beat the single player, there isn't much to do, but the multiplayer definitely continues to scratch that samurai itch. Does a good job of extending the game for a few weeks imo without being a huge unnecessary grind.

I say this because I got a PS5 earlier in the year for FF7Rebirth & given my PC is in that awkward stage where to upgrade it is to replace the mobo & everything else basically, due to finances I just picked up a PS5. As such, i'm now looking into what I can use the PS5 for now that i'm done with FF7 & Bloodborne, the only two playstation things I knew I wanted to play - even if this is the PC review, it sold me on picking up the PS5 directors cut :P TL;DR - Good review, I'll pick it up when i'm done with Demons Souls :P

Welp I haven't felt any adaptive triggering :D (Steam input off for this game, using DS Edge in wireless mode, no problems with for example Pacific Drive with adaptive triggers). And yes...

Lethal feels like a whole different game… for me it feels like cinematic hyper realism… like you would have to act if you were really there. I have to do a lot more stealth, use the bow way more, and really think about positioning and not getting mobbed by enemies. It’s making the game take forever and every little thing can pose a challenge but it feels more like a “real” movie-like sword fight more than any other game I’ve played.

@tni333 Месяц назад

It's stunningly beautiful, one of the if not the prettiest games I've ever played. And they went to great lengths to minimize the UI, making it super immersive. But then you get pulled right out of the immersion by shiny collectibles everywhere, edge paint and the worst offender, grapple hook points. Also, the few times where the game says "find a way around that obstacle" you start looking around only to be told the solution 5 seconds later. Structurally, it's the same open world checklist slop we've had for 15 years. The combat is fun, but I found it getting very repetitive very quickly. No unique encounters, it's just the same mongol groups all the time. Sure, they'll introduce a new enemy type every now and then, but they're not really different enough to change up the combat to a noticeable degree. The duels are fun but far and few between. And at least in Chapter 1, I found the story very forgettable as well. I'll probably continue a bit into chapter 2 but if it doesn't pull me in soon, I doubt I'll finish it.

@andremariaribeirodacunha3695 Месяц назад

I will agree. The last large-scale RPG I played was the Witcher 3, so I didnt get use to any 'Ubisoft stale open worlds', and I found that the world in general in Ghost of Tsushima is boring, the quests are completely bland, and the only thing that is fun is the combat, even though that, as you said, gets incredibly repetitive, and the use of stances for each enemy was just bad design, and we enter a rock-paper-scissor style of fighting. The Witcher 3 was just orders of magnitude more creative, and I was genuinely curious about the stories of every quest.

Finished this game last night and was thoroughly impressed. Great story that was predictable in many ways, but it still felt fantastic.

100% this apart from the multiplayer stuff because I did it entirely on the steam deck, absolutely incredible game, thinking of starting NG+

Mortismal is the GOAT. I’m still in Act 1, and I feel like Jin will no longer be a samurai by the end but a shinibi instead.

This was such a beautiful world. The stances made combat enthralling. Yes, you can batter “triangle” or “Y”, and hulk your way to victory, but the real skill is playing in your broken armour and slaying 5/6 guys perfectly. Japan is beautiful.

The Standoff mechanic bug, where it doesn't see your button press, is not a problem on Xbox Controllers, ironically. I was using my PS5 controller and it was about a 50% chance to not be able to use the mechanic, so I was avoiding it. Then I tried with my Xbox controller as a friend had mentioned he never had that bug. I haven't seen the bug since.

I had it happen with Xbox controller. Changing the accessibility option to press instead of hold fixed it for me

I was able to get around the stand-off bug by just hitting escape to open the main menu and closing it again (occasionally also alt-tabbing out of and into the game again when main menu was open).

That Standoff bug is pretty common. Hitting Alt+Enter twice to go into window mode and back to borderless mode fixes it.

The legends mode came out as DLC with the actual main game story expansion.

I bought a ps5 2 years ago just to play this game and bloodborne and I am happily working on getting 100% on the beautiful pc port

To me the positives were: - Gorgeous visuals and art design - World and setting - Story, specially the relationship with the uncle (but also had its negatives) - Combat is fun and challenging - Those legendary missions - The overall cinematic feel everything has The negatives: - In the story, act 1 and 2 are basically the same - Combat is much more fun than stealth but stealth is easier, which makes the experience not that balanced - Stances felt a bit awkward. It was just changing the stance to match your enemy - Standoffs in act 3 become so hard that I never used them anymore

@infacktchola5233 Месяц назад

Agree especially stances it was really awkward and story nah pretty average

I barley 100% games but this is one of the precious few back when it came out for the ps4 I had a blast with it, as some say this is the best Assassins creed type game that came out^^

i found that the Standoff bug is related to the Framerate, once i locked my fps to 100 instead of letting it run into 200+ it became more stable, making it almost not bugged at all after locking it

Unsure which to get. This or Nioh. Especially since I prefer keyboard and mouse. So games geared towards gamepad and bad key mapping settings are relatively low on my personal preference. Glad to see this game seems to be a quote good port and playable nicely on kb+m. I appreciate your videos a lot. Thank you. Sooner or later I will get it.

Great game, bought it for PS4 back then, heck I bought my PS4 for that game! Now I'm enjoying it on PC, it's a really great game and the timing is perfect now that Shogun has finished its first season (not sure if there will be more), people are all up for a good Samurai game.

I loved the wind direction mechanic and i wish every game had them from now one since i hate giant hud on my screen. I loved exploring the map and appreciating the visuals without giant map and 50 markers 24/7 on my screen. Only things i really hated was how limited and hand holdy the grappling hook was with almost no free movement like Uncharted or Star Wars, also i wish more side quests had bigger and varied rewards like the main missions cause i didn't really care about the legend rank ups since i already had all the stuff i wanted by the end of act 1.

Legends multiplayer is a phenomenal time if you can get a regular bunch of pals together. Good variety of game modes too. The raids are an excellent co-op challenge.

@MibuInMalibu 20 дней назад

Is there any benefits for a person who doesn’t have friends to play it with? Maybe unlocks and rewards? Is it enjoyable even with randoms?

@adarmus4768 Месяц назад

This is one of the few games that I have got the platinum trophy. I enjoyed every minute of it. They better make a sequel.

Just finished the game, except the Iki Island, but I agree 99% with what you are saying, the 1% is that I'm having mixed feelings if this game was worth the price of 60 Euros, considering that it's a PC port, like you just said no groundbreaking game-play, I mean it sometimes felt like regurgitated AC mechanics, and I can also add some clunky interactions in combat, small character interactions felt like AC Origins which felt without substance, and others. At the beginning, in the first zone I feel in love with the game after the Tengu Demon duel, I mean like everything about that was cool and challenging, but later down the road it felt more and more easy and repetitive, so much so that I felt that I wanted it to end, but because the story was so good it kept me going. My advice, play it for the story, don't think too much about the game-play. I usually play the games at the hardest difficulty, but Lethal felt wrong in multiple ways, so I went with Hard and was challenging for at least 30% of my play time but that was it.

Thinking about double dipping to play it on the go…even having beaten it on PS5

@niggyt6976 Месяц назад

I got that standoff bug so many times. I just change the control scheme back and forth and that works but having to do that every few standoffs is annoying

@jose152171 Месяц назад

Although I get the use of keyboard and mouse I would suggest playing with a dual sense remote at some point too, this utilizes a lot of the controller features which can really enhance the experience
