So I’ve been playing this game for a couple hours. And the photo mode is pretty amazing. You can do animated shots, change the weather, wind speed, colour grade it, add different leaves and birds to the background, change the music, change the time of day. I’m really impressed. The combat is interesting I will say. It can be hard at first. It’s mostly trying to time everything right. All the cut scenes look good
Are there any RPG elements to this? That would be a selling point to me.
Ya you can upgrade your weapons and armor. I just started so not sure a much though. I will let you know in a bit.
I generally don’t read up on games until long after they are out, so when a game like this ends up having RPG elements it is a pleasant surprise. So a heads up will be greatly appreciated.
Perfect example was back in the day Castlevania Symphony of the Night. First half hour in you realize it’s not a side scroller but an action RPG. One of the greatest gaming moments of my teenage years.
Have you played Nioh or Nioh 2? You would probably love those games
I remember feeling interested in them, but if I ever get games of that sort I do it when they are $10-$15. I really only buy 4-5 console games a year maybe 1 or 2 games on steam and either resub to or try out a new MMO. And most of my purchases usually occur during the holidays when the prices drop.
Over the past few years I’ve become that guy who waits months to buy anything, and I haven’t even cracked open most of the games I got myself last Christmas.
Nioh is like 20 dollars or less right now
As you do quests and kill enemies, you get points that act like experience points, and when you get enough of them you rank up and get a bit more health.
So there is a skill tree kind of like AC Odyssey
So this is pretty sick. Its simular to the older AC games. It has different kind of bombs you can throw. And you can chain assassinate people. I highly recommend it.
As a Kurosawa fanboy, this is the most satisfying game I’ve played in a long time. It’s everything I ever wanted the Way of the Samurai series to be, and more. Thank you, Sucker Punch!
well I’m sold love Nioh 2
Here is a bot account giving this game a 0/10.. You can tell because its the only review they have. This is like 90% of the negative reviews for Ghost of Tsushima and for the positive reviews for The Last of Us Part 2..
A few hours in and I am just running around finding things, having a blast. So beautiful. I am really into Asian culture and Japan, so this game is prefect for me. I am playing with the Japanese language and English subs. I prefer to hear things in their proper language. Japanese is such a beautiful language anyway. I even watched a few Kurosawa movies right before the game came out.
The combat mechanics are a bit frustrating, but hopefully I will get used to it. I am not into hard games like Dark Souls, so I was worried this game would be like that, but it’s not thankfully otherwise I would not have purchased it. I do wish you had the ability to button select enemies to attack. Iv’e been killed a few times because my character wont face the enemy I want to attack.
The music is great as well.
Can’t wait to spend my week off work living in this world.
Ya I agree this game could use lock on.. But keep playing and you will unlock more abilities that should help with this. Eventually you can kill three guys in a row during a standoff and same with assassinations.
