Re: 'As Long as You're Having Fun, We Don't Care': Ghost of Yotei Dev Comments on Open World Freedom

On one hand, I like the way they do the open world stuff, with foxes or birds or fireflies organically leading you to points of interest as you explore.

On the other hand, I think the side quest design in Yotei is pretty terrible. They’re all a bunch of samey copy/paste “Go here & deal w the ambush that breaks out as soon as you arrive” quests w no variety.

It’s particularly glaring bc Tsushima had the best side quests I’ve ever seen, the way they were integrated into like allied NPC chains that progressed upon each other. The side quests in GoT felt like extensions of the main story, but Yotei is a step back.

I’m not 100% sure what to think of this, but am patient to give the devs time to cook something new up. E33 was lightning in a freaking bottle. It will be hard to follow it up, but maybe they pull it off again. Would prob take a fair amount of time either way. A game as amazing as E33 (in all regards) doesn’t just plop itself out.
