@Jammer I just can't enjoy it, the exploration is so boring and uninteresting and needlessly handholdy. Not to mention the majority of sidequests is just timed parkour missions.
Funny how people here are getting upset about this game being a souls like when ghostrunner's gameplay is about trying to not get hit once or you repeat.
I was worried the eng dubbing would sound anime but it's actually pretty good. Still gonna play in JP since that's the original dubbing and won't be out of sync.
@Dan12836666 It's not about what players want, it's about sony making money. I think it was Herman Hulst where he didn't really care if a million fail, just as long as one is successful
I played the demo and it feels like every other unreal engine game I don't know what it is, but it already made me tired of it. Also it's whole thing of "hey no maps and no markers" feels very... gimmicky? Other games that have done it just felt more natural in comparison. I don't know, game was just not for me.
9 stars being the same monsters that were already increased in difficulty to be 8 stars? It's starting to become repetitive and Im getting tired of it.
@Reyzore "They should have showcased this evolution of open-world activities (if it even exists). Like... Atsu riding a horse and being ambushed at any moment in the world, Atsu having to save someone, Atsu being tricked by someone who wants to be saved, traps, a bounty where Atsu, instead of hunting, ends up saving the person only to discover that the person is innocent and discover that the target is the one who set the bounty... I want to be surprised!! For example... is there fishing or hunting in the game? (At Atsu's camp, we saw fish and mushrooms.)"
In the gameplay reveal they show Atsu being ambushed by ninjas who camouflage themselves into the snow and some of the other ones you're talking about are already in the first game like saving a random person from group of bandits or mongols and the victim gives us information on where it took place in order to stop it. We have sidequests in the first game where we get tricked like a woman telling us to get her rice back from bandits and not wanting us to kill them and we already hunt animals to craft equipment such as bears for hides. Obviously the hunting isn't that deep in the first game but it's it will be expanded upon in the second game due to the camp and "cooking."
Yeah I wanted to buy Armor King as soon as I saw him and he plays badass as hell. Other character looks cool, but like the article said, it looks like Armor King might just overshadow her.
@PuppetMaster "But force to scavengin just for the sake of searching the same weapons because my current ones will be broken after landed a couple of hits is just stupid"
Your opinion isn't making sense here to me other than it's "wasting your time" which can also be said for games like Resident Evil. Once again you have to do this as well for every survival horror game, you lose ammo, you gotta search for ammo because you wasted ammo just like melee weapons with durability. Games with melee weapons can also lead to good rewards, like was stated in some of the previews there are upgrades to your character, toolkits to save your main melee weapon and there will more than likely be stronger melee weapons to find.
@PuppetMaster Yeah, scavenging, managing your resources, and exploring, that sounds like every survival horror to me dude. It just simply doesn't sound like it's your thing.
@PuppetMaster I love weapon durability in games so this is right up my alley. Also SH4 had weapon durability for a very specific weapon among a variety of other melee weapons that didn't. Although I thought it would follow in the footsteps of Downpour where you search for multiple weapons and stockpile them. Don't really understand the complaint though, it's a survival horror game and it also works the same way any game with guns and ammo would.
@Hylian-Likely They made it way too accessible imo leading to fights becoming too easy. There are 8 star fights which are the only ones worth doing but you have to search for those through investigations.
@Nyne11Tyme It's censorship, a dong, breast hanging out or even kid being shot shouldn't justify censorship when games like Cyberpunk, TLOU2, Witcher 3, Outlast Trials, and even MGS V are able to get away with it with no issue. This is a game where you see the horrors police deal with, it's not for the faint of heart.
@Oram77 It genuinely needed more basic sword attack combos. Could have added a couple, maybe 3 pause combos to help with variety. Also yeah while the sidequests are boring, they're good enough on the first playthrough since they add to the worldbuilding and character development of some of the side characters.
@Oram77 I definitely agree that it is a bit over glazed. Love the game though and wouldn't mind if SE stuck with either FF7, Ff16, or go back to turn based combat. Ff16's was a lot of fun to me even if it needed more variety in combat expression

Re: Ghost of Yotei Legends Multiplayer Drops as Free DLC in 2026, New Story Trailer Is a Stunner
Cool, but I hope the enemies aren't as annoyingly spongy. Really ruined the game mode for me.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Crossover with Final Fantasy 14 Confirmed for September
@DennisReynolds Not expecting it to be but I am hoping it's a raid boss like Behemoth. I know that there were some who didn't like that though.
Re: We're Immediately Sold on the Sekiro Anime After Amazing Announcement Trailer
Well this anime is more than likely going to confirm what is the true ending and maybe a sequel.

I love the look of it but could they not have chosen like any other sound effect than the "Vshhh" when hitting enemies?

I'd be fine with crossplay if it was just between console players so I'm fine with this really.

Re: New Ghost of Yotei PS5 Gameplay Footage Highlights Kusarigama Weapon in Gory Combat
@Reyzore didn't see them address Tsushima's weakest point for me - the quality/variety of activities around the world.
They've literally addressed this in an interview.

They're certainly pushing me to go to PC at this point. Only thing holding me back is the devs still releasing unoptimized PC ports.

Re: Dying Light: The Beast Delayed into PS5's Crowded September Release Schedule
@themightyant I'm happy when devs delay their games, but it sucks that a delay isn't even a guarantee that it'll be stable at launch.

@themightyant I mean techland did this with Dying Light 2 and it was pretty busted at launch.
