Well said these games seriously lack gameplay/mission diversity...but to be fair that is most games now ...ac shadows is brutal in not having anything interesting to do. The way that games gameplay loop is designed is a mess....how many Tori temples where you search for 3 codex pages can I take?
Most of them being like that is indeed the case, and the reason why quality open world games are so rare. To me, when it comes to singleplayer titles, the open world genre is the one that has the highest potential to be truly amazing, but it also happens to be the second most difficult genre for a dev to build, only after mmo's, so when we do finally get a new good open world game, that's like the second coming of Jesus.
Good idea. Then you can play a Sony game, on any Xbox, with gamepass, for free.
The DLC for the first game is pretty good. It feels like they learned what variety means with that one. Hopefully Yotei is more similar to the level of the DLC than the base game, which honestly felt barebones at times.

said the dlc is very good.

Beautiful landscapes, new weapons, new enemy type, nice cosmetic additions, if you liked the main story you'll learn plenty more on Jin and his relationship with his father (you'll also finally understand the weird cutscene of his father's death).
Most of all, there's an armor that gives you the ability to perform new instakill moves from duel stance (the one where you call out your enemies before engaging them).
Minus the "immortal", of course
The DLC was my most favorite part of Tsushima…some really great areas and encounters imo.
Yeah I think this was the weakest part of the game. If they fix that and give the protagonist a real personality, the game will shine. I wish they would be ambitious with the 6 boss fights with a nemesis-like system, but I doubt they would go that far.
I agree with the copy pasted camps, hopefully the sequel will offer more variety. But the combat system was fantastic, so I'm really looking forward to this. Calling it the worst open world experience is outrageous though, haven't you played Spider Man?
No no no. What i meant by "worst open world" is the formula of the game, which is primarily taking over camps. This formula applies to all the latest AssCreed titles, and so many other generic open world games. THIS is what i consider as the worst kind of gameplay an open world game can offer, and GoT is primarily focused on it. Of course GoT is not the worst open world game, there's so much worse, but activities wise, GoT is extremely lacking.
Depends. If the game looks good and runs at 60fps then I see no reason to wait personally (outside of already having a lot to play).
You can say that about 90% games out there, be it a PS6 version or a better GPU in a few years. But in the end we just want to play games now and I see no reason to wait unless there are huge technical issues.
If you're not eager to play something, definitely. Even on the exact same hardware games can be vastly different after a few months of updates and fixes.
I may be jumping the gun on Yotei (will have a better idea tomorrow), but keeping expectations lower due to current day Sony. Tsushima was great, although played too safe, but had a solid combat system. It still lacked in many other departments though, especially the watered down stealth and indoor areas.Crimson Dessert shitting on who? Man stop it, aint nobody even talking about that game, plus they're not even in the same ball park. One games is based on historical events and real locations set in Japan, the other is just another medieval fantasy game built on the Black Dessert online game engine, with an exaggerated particle system.
That's a good idea. I just wish that open world games like Tsushima and Shadows would have a few interesting types of activities. Believe it or not AC series used to do a better job at this with ship combat, a tower defense type mini game, tailing missions for stealth etc
Yeah, I hope they streamline things a little more for this one. I actually want it to be more linear. I'm in the same boat with the first game, too – I booted it up, got about 20 minutes in and realized it was just another open world 40-hour fetch quest and I never touched it again.
They haven't really been doing a good job of marketing it either which is weird. Sony being a multimedia company I'd expect them to at least run trailers on TV or in theaters for Sony-produced movies. Maybe they're not confident in it? Who knows.
To be fair, I only played it when it hit PS Plus well after it came out and had watched a lot of video content about it beforehand, so I knew what I was getting into. When I started it and did a couple activities that I could tell were going to be repeats I just shut it off. I dig the style of it and everything but I've just got open world fatigue.
