Still pretty early as haven't killed any of the 6 yet beyond the tutorial one as been busy with all the side content. Hovering around a 9 right now.

@TensuraFan7 Yotei's wallpaper dropped months and months back.

@Smackosynthesis Its like a 5-10 minute wait and that wait has decreased even more by now. The game doesn't have any issues beyond that.

Put an hour into the MP and like the beta it was fantastic.

Took me around 10 mins from a 500K queue to get in and once i was in it was plain sailing.

@Papasears1982 Not all games can afford RT at 60fps. Its expensive and demanding as hell. AC Shadows a game with far better more game changing RT then Yotei can't have the full RT experience on Performance on the Pro, RTGI can be run on Performance but reflections are limited to Quality and Balanced. The Pro can only do so much hence why GTA VI will be 30fps on the Pro.

End of the day the PS5 Pro is not a PS6 its just a more powerful PS5 with a slightly faster but same CPU.

@ReacH Yep publisher and funded by them.

@HRdepartment Kind of a weird comment when Split Fiction released this year.

@springer17 DEI is a work hiring practice and has nothing to do with what they include in films, TV and games. The idea of it is hiring more diverse people who might be better suited for the job rather then just sticking with the white straight male simply because he's a white straight male despite the latino trans woman beside him being way more qualified for the job.

Ubi aren't perfect but generally speaking when it comes to AC at least they have always stuck with a lead suited for that location and time in history. AC has always been pretty diverse in its games even if Ubi are scared of having a woman being the sole lead of a mainline entry. Giving todays climate i expect Ubi would catch flack from certain people on a number of its leads especially Connor from AC3.

@mary1 White people being a villain has been a thing in most of the AC games but interesting you only cry about it if its when a black person is the lead. Yet people like you can't help but show what you really think.

@springer17 Where have they have "shoehurned" it in prior? Wanna know something funny its been highly speculated Yasuke was made a playable character late into development because Ubi were scared Naoe would upset a certain side of playerbase who get upset of the idea of playing as a girl. The reason its Yasuke we play as is because he was already part of the story and it was easier making him a co-lead rather then just creating a brand new character. Just speculation of course but Ubi have form of doing this as they did it with Odyssey and there's a lot of evidence in game this was meant to be only Naoe's game. So yeah they were maybe trying to be meet a quote but not ones you think.

@BloodEagle I can imagine playing a western game in english.

@Blaze215 Do you know its digital numbers? Lifetime sales so far? No? Then your prediction is worthless.

Giving how popular the first game was in Japan this isn't shocking. Great to see it doing well and making a mockery of the haters and grifters.

Yeah i was buying this for the MP not a 6 hour campaign, its a nice extra but never the main meal.

@Deljo Yes they are. TheBirdman has many of times exposed the fake Drinker and his crew for the racist pos they are with hard evidence. I won't list why Asmongold is because PQ will remove the comment. Like seriously though check out their coverage on AC Shadows it was basically crying over Yasuke existing and its why i know AC Civil War with a black lead would go down like a lead balloon with them.

@DragonSlayer1759 On the otherhand this update wouldn't exist if people didn't buy the game.

Yeah the far right grifter discourse would have had a field with that. Can already picture the endless grifter videos from Asmongold and Critical Drinker crying over it.

@Blaze215 Because one of the jobs i do from home giving me more free time as the job doesn't require mountains of time or work. The other job requires more from me but i only do it 4-5 days depending on the week.

2-3 games per month but that's because i work two jobs to afford them. Also helps that my GF also games so she doesn't take issue that i'm spending a fair bit each month on games as she gets it.

@koverby AW2 is it own story but it does follow heavily from the first game. I would recommend playing the first game first.

Will get this but i shell wait for a sale, i expect by Xmas it will be part of the big Xmas sale so i shell pick it up then.

What a fantastic surprise. Looks i know what i shell be doing for the rest of the day.

@ElectricWizard I'm willing to bet most of that was talk.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare Yeah to be clear when i compare Ghost and AC i'm not doing it to throw shade as i love AC and while Shadows is far from my favourite entry i did still really enjoy it and put around 100 hours into it post expansion. I actually think Ghost improves on the formula quite a bit as i said in my other post but like Horizon and even Spider-Man it does follow the Ubi open world blueprint.

Also despite me moaning about the open world in Yotei i am really enjoying the game and i can easily see it being in my top 5 of the year. Just because i have big criticisms doesn't mean i'm not also loving it. This isn't aimed at you its aimed those who think i'm hating because i'm not throwing blind praise at it.

@DarianStarfrog If you can't really argue my points then why reply? The game is open zoned, the regions aren't seamlessly connected and SP themselves have even confirmed that. As for AC Shadows yeah its funny because the Ghost games follow the exact blueprint with the only difference being Ghost hides the icons on the map. Face it you like AC but your hatred for Ubi won't allow you to admit it, if you love Yotei then chances are you would at least find Shadows pretty decent because both games have a ton in common.

@Oram77 Its still an AC map its just they hide the icons. Granted the sense of discovery is much better in Yotei and its super easy to get distracted by something in the distance but you are pretty much just doing a checklist of the same things in every area. This is my issue with Sucker Punch they can't just own the fact their open world is just the same as any other Ubi style open world, just because you hide the icons on the map doesn't suddenly mean you're Red Dead 2, Skyrim and Tears of the Kingdom. They do nail the formula more so then Ubi themselves but its still a Ubi style game and follows the same gameplay loop. Funny enough a lot of the side content in Yotei isn't that much different to the side content in AC Shadows.

Except its not an open world its a bunch of mid sized open zones that don't have a ton of freedom to explore.

Honestly this is a game you buy for the MP not the 5 hour campaign so the always online thing doesn't matter.

@TheDudeKenobi Yeah i'm hoping the Basim stuff isn't ignored but who knows with Ubi who keep changing the status quo of the present day every entry. Still annoyed at dirty they done Layla.

@opo02 I wouldn't say its deceitful its more Sucker Punch haven't no idea on what a proper open world is. This isn't like say The Witcher 3 where you have a bunch of huge maps set over multiple locations this is one location broking up into mid sized zones.

Dying Light The Beast for me.

@TheDudeKenobi By the end of Mirage they are one person. The ending of Mirage is Basim literally accepting Loki, its why he will no longer see his "friend" anymore as he doesn't need her anymore guiding him. Basim is Loki and Loki is Basim there is no other self anymore.

As i said in the other article my only issue is the open world design where its less an open world and more a bunch of mid sized open zones broking up by loading screens. Because of this it feels small and exploring feels limited. Everything else is great though especially combat and i love Atsu, Erika does a great job.

@TheDudeKenobi There isn't an other self. Basim and Loki are one of the same and we get a good impression on where things went due to Valhalla.

Its the improvements to the base game i'm excited about what with parkour improvements and new visual filters. Also Basim's new costume looks freaking sick as hell.

Shame blood money funded this as it looks fantastic. I mean i shell play it because its free and more Mirage is a good thing but i will feel a bit dirty doing so.

Don't see the issue myself. If you don't like them don't use them simple.

Got the Phantom Edition pre-loaded. Not long now.

Unless its a bug it appears the unlock framerate option is limited to VRR users as when i "unlocked framerate" on graphics mode on my Pro it stayed at 30fps. I don't have a VRR display so i'm guessing that's why it stayed at 30fps.

@Coffeeglitch Sony put out 3551 games for PS4? Hmm 🤔

@Coffeeglitch Go ahead and compare then. Sony put out around 1-3 big 1st party releases per year with some timed deals and 2nd party releases as well just like this gen. It is a false narrative but sure prove me wrong.

@Oram77 Yeah i expect Sony gives them free reign to do what they want giving the success they bring in.

@Splat A no name grifter has been trying to use PSN Profiles as a way to say the game bombed 😂😂😂

@Oram77 I would like a new Infamous game from them next. I do want a 3rd Ghost game but i do want something else from SP between Yotei and Ghost 3 to give a series a small break.

@StarZinger I'm only on the 2nd region but its separated by a loading screen and can't be seamlessly travelled to from the opening region. From what i've read all the regions are designed like this and can't be seamlessly travelled without loading. As i said they're decently sized and there's a lot of content in them but its not really an open world. This is isn't a game where if you see it you can go to it and it feels limiting for me because of that.

To be clear i am loving the game and it does make a lot of improvements over the first game, its just the open world design i'm not fond off and feel is a step back.

@Dogbreath They still have to create something desirable. As i said the PS6 has already been set in stone, the specs were decided for it a long time ago.

@Oram77 Well i don't have an issue with DLC coming in the future for games. Its not day 1 its coming next year.

@RiverGenie PQ haven't criticised NG4 for it though.

@Oram77 Its been normalised for 15 years or so.

@StarZinger My issue is the design. Its a less an open world and more a bunch of mid sized open zone areas. Because of this the game and map feel small and you can't explore and get lost in it because of this pretty poor design choice. Like take the mountain itself its just a pretty skybox and nothing more, the mountain you climb is not the one you see looming over the world and it feels small because of that.
