Ghost of Tsushima - open world game set in feudal Japan

[Tyranicon]

Did they fix the thing where if you upgrade your backstab, it looks like shit? Like you start the game with some really gory assassinates, but the upgrades shave time off, so a fully upgraded backstab just looks a really lazy, fast shank.

One of the things that bothered me about the game.

Every Sony published game is that way you get what you pay for when you buy PS ports.

I mean, not like I care, this being the Wokou version. I think it's fucking funny that they won't even let you opt out anymore though. Thanks Sony!

Also, the first 10 fucking minutes already confirm this is the best samurai game on the market and AssCreed has no chance in hell against it.

Way of the Samurai is a better samurai game. But yeah, Asscreed doesn't have the ghost of a chance against it.

Gooks can't make a historically accurate game about their own history without homofagging it up.

Godamn this standoff bug is so fucking annoying!

 

[deama]

Ok I figured it out now, you have to set the "other actions" in accessibility to toggle, and then instead of holding right mouse button, you click right mouse button just as he's about to attack, that seems to be reliable.

 

[Fedora Master]

Have you tried half-pressing your mouse button?

Eh nevermind, same godamnt shit.

This game has probably the worst 'lipsync' I've ever seen in a video game. What did they spend all the money on? The lipsync is usually out of actual sync and often feels like completely different words are spoken, it's all randomly and cheaply "AI generated", isn't it.

Also, is there a way to play 'kurosawa mode' but with original audio? I like the visual esthetics, but the degenerated audio bothers me a lot.

 

[ferratilis]

It runs well, the loading times are almost non-existent, it looks nice, but man, the movement and combat are janky af. Spiders and PB games are way ahead when it comes to hitboxes and movement both inside and outside of combat. I'm playing on Lethal mode, but will switch to a lower difficulty because of how inconsistent hits in combat are, I just can't develop a feel for it. They're using some kind of weird semi lock on system where you don't actually lock on to an enemy, but instead it's proximity or threat based, and it sucks. Sekiro this is most certainly not.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

Lol, you are insane if you think the combat is janky, it's amazing. My only problem with it is those dudes that have red/blue attacks, there is not enough time to respond to them on higher difficulties, but otherwise it's a glorious combat system.

Also using Ctrl or Alt for defense is shit but then again you can count the console ports with good PC controls out of the box on one hand.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

I re-mapped block/parry to RMB immediately. The Alt dodge thing is not the best, but given that it's directional and how many controls there are in GoT, they did the best they could. It's not like Skyrim with 3 things to do. Is not the same as janky at all.

 

[Fedora Master]

Its a bit odd how the quality varies. The game looks and plays great but then the lip sync looks like shit.

Also I guess Tsushima is VERY WINDY.

Get a mouse with more buttons.

Oi, don't trash talk Jin's old man like that.

The game was written by Americans in English. They didn't bother doing a Japanese VO lipsync.

 

[ferratilis]

If you think lip syncing in this game is bad, look up some dialogues in Horizon Zero Dawn. Nightmare fuel. Both the lip syncing and facial animations.

The average PC gamer proving they too have zero standards:

https://store.steampowered.com/charts/topselling/US

#1 in steam sales charts, and overtook God[awful] of War as the best-selling PS port.

People are talking about about mass murder of all AAA devs in another thread here. Nah, if we're going that far in hypotheticals then we should start with 90% of gamers too. Yes game devs are shameless sellouts and the onus of this industry's integrity or lack thereof is on them (and the people above them), yet if adult gamers weren't so mediocre the necessity to make mediocre games wouldn't exist. Adult gamers constantly fap over worthless braindead zero substance games old and new, it's disappointing. This hobby used to be magical.

 

[ferratilis]

Joke's on you, because I pirated the game.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

It's a good game though. I mean obviously there is the central Ubisoftness (complete 400,000,000 markers on map), and some console elements (die, respawn nearby with enemy gone) that keep it from being a great game, but the combat is top notch, the writing/quests are well done, very high quality graphics, and unlike many Ubisoft games, the grind is actually logically tied into the whole "resist the Mongols" theme. Not close to perfect by any means, but overall a well done game.

 

[Tyranicon]

Japan would've been better if it was conquered by the mongols.

I sometimes feel like the only sane person in an insane asylum.

Among other core awfulness.

and some console elements (die, respawn nearby with enemy gone)

Wut.

but the combat is top notch,

Squandered potential. It's ruined by heavy repetition, low difficulty & low stakes (too many dumb OP upgrades), they pussied out on the gore, and decline elements like auto aim instakill Kunai or automated airborne assassinations, in addition with being tied to a overall mediocre game. Still, the combat is fairly decent and one of the saving graces.

They also went for a overall brutal realism depiction/theme but often it's trivialized by the above such as low stakes combat, as well as the writing, among other things.

the writing/quests are well done,

Mixed bag.

very high quality graphics, and unlike many Ubisoft games, the grind is actually logically tied into the whole "resist the Mongols" theme.

It's going to have to take more than that.

Anyways, no matter how much I or others whine nothing changes. The game is one of the better AAA shit in recent years, knock yourselves out and everyone can rejoice and fester in the mediocrity. Thanks for ruining my beloved hobby.
