Ghost of Yotei PS5 a Similar Length to Ghost of Tsushima, Same Scope

Honestly that seems the perfect length if you ask me.

Ghost of tshushima took me less than 20 hours to complete main campaign and that was taking my time. I don’t know how people have taken longer than that

Let's hope it doesn't have equal busy work to GoT. That game really dragged for me. Completed it only because I was bed bound after an operation on my Ps Portal.and I'd already completed Netflix.

I thought that direct sequels, in the sense that they use and build upon the same engine, gameplay systems, etc. would have either a grander scope or a much higher quality of experience overall or maybe in story. I was just let down by 5 years waiting for Death Stranding 2 and getting what I thought was a terrible final arc to the story, and a similar scope map to the original. If Ghost of Yotei is going to be similar in scope to Tsushima it better blow my socks off in other ways. I don't think it's reasonable, but I don't feel satisfied by the idea of just another Tushsima entry. It's gotta be better.

Have they mentioned the performance targets for the base PS5?

Perfect, less is more! GoT was such a perfect length to Platinum, so enjoyable to ride around and finish things.

Horizon Zero Dawn was too long for me personally, to the point I still haven't worked up an appetite for the sequel even though I'd love to play it at some stage

@zhoont I haven't completed DS2 yet, but it is really disappointing how the "hazardous weather" system is just scripted. They happen once and then never again. The only thing that happens and isn't even that big of an issue is the gate quakes and floods.

As opposed to Ghost of Yotei PSP

That's a good length and right in line with what happened for GOT. 25 hours for the story, 45 hours for all the side quests, and about 65 hours to get the platinum. These days, I find 65 hours to be the upper limit for most games I play, and that's if they are really good. If they are just good, 30 hours is normally my max. The exception would be upcoming generational games like Persona 6 or GTA 6.

@gingerfrog agreed. It's side content is another 30 hrs of repetitive and eventually mundane filler. I really hope they trim that out or add far more variety.

Sounds perfect. Really hope we also get a legends 2 as that was soooo fantastic

@DaveTheRave That's the one thing I feel is missing from the base release of the game, not sure how popular Legends was, but I feel like they will bring it back sooner or later 🤞

25 hours? The base game of GoT was 50-60 hours for me.

@Oram77 from my experience it was very popular. I’m basing that on whenever I went to join a game I was never waiting long for other players to join. Obvs I have no hard evidence for participation but that’s my take🫡. Needed carrying for one of the trophies like but managed to get all classes to rank 20 etc. I’d love to do the 100% plat again but with Yotie around the corner I’m going to wait for that. Here’s hoping for legends part 2

@Nepp67 I mean the rivers flood and you can get sandstorms, but other than that yes I agree completely. I have a few disappointments about DS2. Like why does the bike have only a couple upgrades (no tires?!), why is the roadster missing from the game completely, why is the coffin board so cool but you damage your cargo if you land 2 inches onto the ground (tar!), why are you dripfed standard orders such that there's basically none to take on during the story, WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?

I can easy turn 25h game into 100hr game because i literally explore every single nook and cranny this became an obsession of mine if this is good or bad i don't know 😅 so 25hr yes for some ppl but not for me

@RBRTMNZ I don't know exactly but I'm sure it will be 60fps on ps5s performance mode must be

@KundaliniRising333 not sure about the trim, but the npcs coming to the bonfire when you rest might cut some time off, but not really sure how often this will be and what extent the npcs come

@zhoont Yeah the dripfeeding standard orders does get pretty annoying from what I've noticed but it hasn't been too bad. So far my only two main issues is just the weather system is just non existent after the first instance and the world loses so much of its mystery that the first game had.

My problem with open world games, is that sometimes there is too much to do in the game. And now that I never buy games when they come out (I have a 200 game backlog including ps3, ps4 and ps5 especially thanks to 15 years of plus), by the time I do get them, they have expansions or free content updates making them even bigger and more overwhelming.

I platinum'd Tsushima on my first playthrough at more or less 60 hours and i really enjoyed it. So 25 hours for the main story sounds good to me.

That seems like a decent length for any open world game (I'm guessing that's just the storyline and not 100%), game looks mint too but I think I'll hold off this time though to see if they tack on some unnecessary multiplayer, again.

^Eh, I thought GoT had some of the best side quests I’ve ver seen in a game because they weren’t organized as like dozens of one-off quests from random no-name NPCs all over the map. Instead, the side quests were organized around 4ish main NPCs with ~10 quests in each line, so I found the side quests to be a lot deeper and more meaningful because they tended to progress & develop the story of your closest allies. The side quests in GoT felt like extensions of the main story to me. In particular, the warrior monk Norio’s story was my favorite.

@SeanOhOgain (#6) exactly, loved every minute and needed 3 trophies when I was finished. Platinum was well worth it in this game, although I'm not a trophy hunter

@Waa-Laa (#27) what is that beautiful profile pic?

@PerpetualBoredom that'll be the Master Liberator trophy icon from Ghost of Tsushima, what a game.....just ruined at the final hurdle with multiplayer.

@Waa-Laa I see, thanks!
