JoshVilla Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Currently playing AC Valhalla (not jumping back into Cyberpunk until the issues are fixed), but since I've had the PS5, I kinda just want to drop everything and start Ghost of Tsushima again. Genuinely one of my all time favourites of the PS4 era and can't wait to see how it plays on the PS5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having only got this the other day, I’m still in the first act but happily trotting around slaying mongols and picking up technique points and experience. I’ve done a couple of the mythic side quests including the Heavenly Strike, which is proving very useful! really enjoying the storyline, quests as well as the look and gameplay (now getting familiar with stance swapping - almost unlocked the 3rd stance!) So far, it’s not quite AC Odyssey but better than origins! will get AC Valhalla in a few months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Right, almost through Act 1 - just the Castle Kaneda quest to do and I’ve already unlocked and maxed out all of the stances and have a fully maxed samurai armour and katana. Whilst I feel I’ve got the hang of switching stances I’m still enjoying the combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 From memory theres one more thing they give you to freshen the combat up a bit but that's about it and a couple of enemy classes are introduced in act 2, one of which I found a lot more difficult (don't read until you're there BA) Spoiler The straw hats But at the same time it still continues to work throughout the game, it never got boring and even near the end I could find myself getting killed by a scouting party if I got it wrong or messed about, it gets comfortable but not easy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Onto Act 3 now and just acquired the Flaming Sword technique. I’ve maxed out every stance, technique and moves (except for the searching ones). also Maxed out both swords and plenty of armours (although mainly use Clan Sakai armour as it adds two more victims during standoffs!) really loving it - the storyline is great and the additional quests involving the likes of Masako and Kenji are good too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Just finished it after picking it up a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it. Gameplay wise they may not have reinvented the wheel but they refined the **** out of it! One of the best sounding games ever too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Completed this afternoon! What a great game Spoiler I opted to spare Lord Shimura’s life instead of killing him - don’t think it would make too much difference either way. Now to rid the island of the remaining mongols!

leemond2008 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I've started this up again, I **** love anything to do with Samurai and ninja stealth type stuff, I got bogged down the first time I played the game though because there were just so many side missions and silly little quests that it keeps you from playing the actual game. This time around I'm just going to focus on the main story and follow that damn fox whenever he is near and do a few side missions but I'm not going to bother taking out each and every one of the mogol hideouts like I did before. I've only been playing for about 10 minutes but I have already fell back in love with the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I've been thinking about the side missions on the basis of playing valhalla and their god awful pointless side missions and I think ghost gets it right, I really enjoyed the characters of the side missions, especially the matriarch one and the archer master, I think the format of them being split in to say 8 missions and then available whenever you like really works I'm thinking I'll get 1 more play through out of it in kurasawa mode in Japanese with subtitles before trading it, although I'm not sure the ps5 update and then playing it in black and white makes that much sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 The best game for side missions was Red Dead 2, the fact that they weren't a flashing beacon on your map constantly and there was only ever 3 or 4 at once made it a lot more manageable, when you look at the map and it is awash with things to go and investigate I always find it overwhelming and ultimately get distracted by trying to 100% the game. RDR2 I got 92% completion on mainly through just roaming around and stumbling across things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However for pure storytelling and enjoyable companion characters, Tsushima wins it hands down for me. Saying that, AC Odyssey is the best game of a similar ilk I’ve played and completed.

Popular Post GarethRDR Posted May 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2022 So... this is a bit good, eh? I find myself eagerly awaiting any opportunity for the Standoff mechanic to pop-up, which considering it's essentially a QTE is quite an achievement. Love the aesthetic, absolutely love it. The attention to the little details are astounding; first time I stumbled across the body of dead samurai I decided to give it a bow and it triggered some dialogue, I've been bowing at every dead body since! Just out of Act 1, have an inkling things might start a get a wee bit interesting with the Shimura/Jin dynamic in short order. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 13, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 13, 2022 It's a really good game. There's nothing about it that's amazing, but it comes together into a package that's considerably better than its parts. And you can cosplay as Date Masamune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Been playing this. First area was great. Halfway through the second island (Act 2) and I’m getting a little bored. Enemies are all the same, the story is just go this place, kill mongols in the same way, recruit someone to help you. Am I missing something? Or will it pick up again soon?

Nope that's more or less it, they introduce a few new enemy types and a few weapons which makes it slightly harder but it stays more or less the same Spoiler The straw hats, more big guys, flaming arrows, poison arrows The DLC does have enemies who change their stance which is slightly harder The story is pretty good though and the ending is great I love the game, still haven't platinumed it though, got the bowing one to do and a couple of others, probably 5 hours to do on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Started Ghosts this morning, finished the prologue and feel like it’s going to be a great game. Looking forward to it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to it! It is a terrific game - whilst the combat can be picked up pretty quickly, the storyline and the visuals more than make up for it. I loved it and would play it again from scratch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Seeing as they announced it yesterday - its everything assasins creed wishes it was Can't wait for the film and hopefully they give it a sequel but I'm not sure how, they did attack the mainland and have a 2nd invasion but where how do they continue the main story arc?
