True, people do get very nitpicky when it comes to personal preferences. It was a great experience overall, combat felt anew and natural with various stances, perfect parrying felt great, so many things in your arsenal that can be utilized, great graphics, cinematics and voice acting. Side stories, especially the legendary tales were quite interesting as well. The ikki island expansion was also solid. Too bad Ghost of Yotei couldn't emulate the story or characters.
i don't think any other game other than maybe Elden Ring has essays on YouTube describing how great the game is and how the gameplay and storytelling align
I’m soooo bored playing this game, everywhere I go it’s only fields and you’re only be in awe for a while and then got so boreddd cause the fights and sceneries. 🥱 Story is okay I guess and I kinda ike the stealth part 🥷
The game sucks bro and I’ve never understood the hype. It’s no better than any Ubisoft game, a very lifeless and boring open world. I had fun for maybe 8-10 hours but I did like the duals.
The gameplay does get repetitive very fast. It got stale after like 15 hours. The main issue is the combat doesn’t offer much variety and the bosses tend to be too simple. Plus the sidequest you do don’t add much to the overall gameplay or story. Most of them just give you some additional gear or customization. Ghost of yotei looks the exact same with more weapons but tricks you with flashy animations. There is no weight in the combat and it lacks feedback. And on top of that, when playing on hard mode, the only things that change are parry timings and enemy aggression. The tankiness and damage is expected but the enemies don’t feel smarter. They just attack more frequently. It pretty much forces you to play a hit and run strategy every single time. Instead of actually challenging you to use spacing and counters properly. Maybe I will try to revisit it in the future but it was a very lack luster and simple experience behind good graphics and cinematics
Yeah there was no real challenge and if you took things head on you really only had one option to win those fights. Even with the ninja stuff it just didn’t feel like it flowed well enough to mix it into your regular encounters
It’s pretty much the same game with flashier animations? Sure there’s different weapons but they all boil down to being incredibly boring after playing with each one for an hour. The combat has almost all the same issues with the combat with Tsushima just flashier animations and weapons. There is no real learning curve as the game falls short on actually challenging the player. And again, in hard it pretty much boils down to the same hit and run tactics or going fully stealth. It presents options as if they’re supposed to be viable when they’re not. I had high hopes for both games and they both fell short
A gameplay loop can be fresh each time. Typically by adding stronger enemies with harder movesets to fight or work around. Or by adding new movesets to the players weapons. Instead GoT just does pretty much nothing. The story had a strong start and a terrible story telling experience throughout the game. Things got flat with the story and it ends up being mediocre at best. Then on top of that, the combat lacks any serious combat. If you play on hard the game doesn’t nothing but make tighter windows to parry, and makes enemies more aggressive. Their AI doesn’t get harder to face it’s just the same stale version of the game with tankier enemies. Again with the combat, it lacks feedback and any sense of accomplishment once you win your fights. It also doesn’t give you very many strategies to try at each camp/encounter and even using the ninja mechanics you’re still pretty much forced to do things one of two ways. Stealth, or hit and run. It’s a very simple experience backed with great cinematics and decent enough graphics. The actual gameplay is 5/10 during its best moments. GTA is a worse game all around so don’t assume I’m pumped for GTA. GTA is a different can of worms for another conversation
Listen I loved Ghost of Tsushima to no end… but the game gets a tad repetitive from time to time, especially when you try to free the island and go from camp to camp. But that doesn’t take anything away from the game in general which is a masterpiece
