With this being at least partially a stealth game, there'd better be a Sly reference here, of all places.

Ghost of Tsushima - Review Thread (MetaCritic: 83 | OpenCritic: 85)
- Thread starter BZL8
- Start date
i need this game right now, I need an escape. I wish this game had a dash of wire-fu mixed in with the exploration but other than that I'm hyped.
Boy it's been so long that it's hard to pin down in my mind. A lot of what I remember were the terrible escort missions and "follow without being seen" missions. The RPG mechanics were nice though, and I did like unlocking the different islands.
But all the stuff with the sludge ("yo, those guys are making a lot of sludge on top of that building, destroy the lab" and "defeat the sludge bus") wasn't great. And there was like a picture-taking element? Jumping around was pretty cool though, for sure.
yes, time to move my Pro back into the living room where the OLED is.
This thread man. If this game reviews in the 70s or even low 80s this is gonna be a shit show.
*more of a shitshow.
*more of a shitshow.
I've been staying out of review threads for this very reason, I read the op, look at some reviews and peace out.
Know it's all timing base make it better since your reward for it .
There's people here with fingers crossed it reviews poorly. It's just the nature of console warriors. Pay no mind to them.
Are there no rag doll physics? Looks as if death animations are very rudimentary and not adherent to gravity...
Its a heavy bow so the arrows pack a punch. I call it the Shotgun Bow
"A WELL-KNOWN OPEN WORLD WITH A DELICIOUS SAMURAI SAUCE
While Ghost of Tushima is beautiful and almost all systems are working fine, there is one thing that starts to get noticed after a while: You don't do much in Ghost of Tsushima that you haven't done in any other open world game before. Whether it's climbing towers, taking out enemy camps or looking for artifacts, for people familiar with games like Assassin's Creed and Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima has few surprises in terms of gameplay.
The question is whether that is bad.Admittedly, Ghost of Tsushima does not differ much from the popular open world formula, but the game fills that formula with such beautiful environments, delicious combat and interesting stories and also topped this whole with such a tasty samurai sauce, which I have for the time being. haven't left Tsushima yet."

Ghost of Tsushima zit vol met prachtige velden, bossen en bergen. Maar is de game meer dan een paar mooie graphics, of is het een oppervlakkige ervaring?

My uncle at Edge said it will receive a 0 there, so it will probably drop to 1/100.
Sounds "solid but not spectacular."
Generic open world gameplay isn't a dealbreaker as long as the moment to moment gameplay is addictive. Let's hope that is the case here.
After seeing so much of the combat I no longer worry about it. It looks good.
Now
Yes! That is a glowing review. Hype gone up a littl again.

Looks like a AAA game to me. I think we will see some reviews over 90%. Not sure I will preorder this for launch as I am still playing tlou2.

Basically, a very polished open world experience which is exactly what I expected. Sounds great
Sounds like exactly what I'm expecting it to be, really - a great, but not innovative, open-world game with satisfying gameplay, a gorgeous, historically-interesting setting, and an at least reasonably compelling narrative. Doesn't need to be more than that, as far as I'm concerned, though it definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea at this point in the generation."A WELL-KNOWN OPEN WORLD WITH A DELICIOUS SAMURAI SAUCE

Yeah... sounds like that's what we're getting. It seems obvious now why they didn't explain this was what you do in the game during the marketing to date... It's just not a selling point if it's the same as most open world games.
Hopefully the writing and the mission design is good enough to overcome the familiarity, but the graphics and emphasis on realism definitely seem to make this a standout experience.
Same as other open worlds is a huge selling point for the general public. I think it just missed the typical preview season because of Covid so didn't have the traditional "we played for an hour and this is what you do" from the press.
Personally, the art makes it more beautiful. The environments are even more stylised than those in RDR2 and it is more striking.
Maybe... still, I think it would probably benefit from having at least one original hook (e.g. the hordes in Days Gone). Maybe it does... I guess we'll see soon enough.
RDR2 is pretty god damn striking in the right conditions.
Definitely not as stylized as this though
Normally I would've definitely gone with Japanese. But the lip syncing makes me doubt it.
