Apologies for reupload! Hopefully this video comes out a better bitrate than the previous.
This video is a gaming essay about Rise of the Ronin, a PS5 exclusive action game that was developed by Team Ninja. In this video game essay, I discuss a review of Rise of the Ronin, and also provide some thoughts on the game design principles behind this game, as well as explore some concepts regarding the relationship between this game and the publisher.
Let me know your thoughts, and what you had for dinner tonight. Enjoy!
Written, voiced and edited by me.

very well done video. i love that i had got to play Ishin first, it gave me a better perspective on some of the goings on in this turbulent period for japan. it was also just very interesting to see scenes correspond in both games. i do like the stat sets and the true feeling of a growing power in japan (being the player) alongside the strife of the nation was gripping. I can honestly say I had gotten attached to particular character and freaked out when certain story beats play out. again, great video. thank you for the time and dedication put on this.

Thanks heaps! Honestly i feel like it’s an under-utilised period of history, I actually only first encountered it in the Total War Shogun games, but it’s super fascinating to me, and I think Team Ninja used the interactive format perfectly to tell the story to a wider audience. Fingers crossed for DLC but not sure where they would go with it

The combat makes the game fun for me ,and I am having fun .

@watki_ 3 месяца назад

Definitely agree, I think the combat has been my favourite in a game for years, if not ever.

lmao his explanation about graphics is so delusion. Name me one game where your dancing around having the blood pour out on the ground, and all the other delusional expectation yapping. Most games make a particle effect, then have blood splash then dissappear, or never connect with the floor. Most the graphics in this game are literally the same as most other games, and it's higher graphics than many of the games that launched on xbox over the past few years.

@watki_ 3 месяца назад

Yep you’re spot on. That was why I made sure to mention the technology to reach that kind of presentation is about 25 years away. The whole graphics section was in defence of the game and people being overly critical when the game first came out and comparing it to games with ray tracing etc. It just had a big target on its back because it was a Sony exclusive. I’ll definitely admit that the editing lost a big chunk of the section where that was explained better though, so I can see where you’re coming from. Appreciate you taking the time to give your thoughts. Also absolutely agree on your last point about Xbox.

@@watki_ I just thought it was funny. I don't understand the problem people have with this game's graphics.

@hashishisthecure 3 месяца назад

I finished up the other games I was playing picked this up a week ago. I'm really enjoying it so far. Good review BTW 👍🏻

@Bojaxxx Месяц назад

Idk why the reviews seem off to me. Like we're not experiencing the same thing Combat- 9/10 Story- 5/10 Stealth- 7/10 Animations 7/10 Graphics- 6/10 Overall the game is super fun and recommended, but it simply is not close to a 8,9 or 10 overall. The not being able to climb and move through the environment is prob my biggest complaint. Trying to sneak and get a few kills is sometimes tedious because of this. But over a GOOD game, just not GREAT

@watki_ 29 дней назад

It's an interesting thing that as I've grown more distant to the game I definitely feel like I'm looking far more fondly on Wo Long rather than Rise of the Ronin. Absolutely loved both but I've got no itch to go back and play through Ronin again so soon. Totally agree about the climbing and movement, one of my biggest pet peeves about open world games is when they try to give the illusion of mantling all over the environment but half the time you end up just clipping through a rock and a tree trying to get up two feet!

@josetomascamposrobledano4618 Месяц назад

I watched this video a while ago and got it recommended again. All I can say is that YOU SHOULD PLAY THE OTHER TEAM NINJA GAMES! Nioh 1 and 2 have great combat! And since you played Wo Lomg, you are already used to the looter mechanic even if you don’t enjoy it as much as other alternatives!

@watki_ Месяц назад

I'm leaning towards playing through a Nioh before the end of the year, will I have to play Nioh 1 before 2 or are the stories completely different?

@josetomascamposrobledano4618 Месяц назад

@@watki_ I applaud your enthusiasm. Nioh is a game that explores the civil war/Sengoku Period of Japan. And the funny part is that Nioh 2 is for the most part a PREQUEL. So if I look at things logically, Nioh 2 is by far the best place to start. Both because it’s a prequel so the story AND because IMO Nioh 2 has better and more balanced gameplay. Because Nioh 2 focuses on 1v1’s for the most part while Nioh 1 is filled with GANK BOSSES that might drive people away at times. Hope this was helpful. And if you do play any Nioh game, my biggest hope is “LEARN TO SWITCH STANCES, DO THAT NATURALLY IN GAMEPLAY AND YOU WILL MAKE THE GAMEPLAY SHINE!”.

@CarlosRodela Месяц назад

this is way better than I expected - in the fact that it lets you play parts of what team ninja does well, but then adds a freedom - reminds me very much of what from did with elden ring actually!

@watki_ Месяц назад

@@CarlosRodela Absolutely, I feel like the ability to approach things from different angles was great, as opposed to Wo Long which felt a little too linear in how you can tackle the tough enemies to me.

@CarlosRodela Месяц назад

@@watki_ word - yeah i def am feelin the elden ring vibe in a way. until wukong comes out then i gotta take a break and play that....

"iam more wo long pilled than team ninja pilled' Bro TEAM NINJA is the one who made wo long lol

@watki_ 7 дней назад

Haha that was the point of the comparison, rather than picking out something like Elden Ring or Lies of P. Makes more sense to compare the two games from the same studio.

@fearan9406 3 месяца назад

this this game do well at all?

@watki_ 3 месяца назад

I heard that it had a very slow start (I think because it came out around the same time as Dragons Dogma 2), but i also saw an article recently that said after its went on sale for Days of Play, it’s picked up a lot of pace and is doing as well as Nioh 2 had in the same time period. I think this is definitely one of those games that positive word of mouth is helping it out, which is great to see!
