Pulsing means something is nearby. It gets stronger as you get closer to it. You have to be in the vicinity for it to start(I think it's like 40m for the upgraded armor). There are better ways of finding items as you'll find later on other than that armor( I'm only like 20hrs in)
Just different, it has areas where you won't see enemies for a while, mountains and hidden areas, you can 'write' Haiku's, play your flute, pray at shrine, try to figure out some myth and get some rare armor.
Also depends if you're open world fatigued, John in DF review said that the game is full of open world tropes.
Yeah, even though I would argue it does the openworld better than most...it's still open-world, you just can't get around that.
Yes it's rumble lol. Starts with light taps and slowly gets more intense. Very subtle.
Yup, it needs a harder mode... and a NG+ and more stuff to collect. Maybe an armor for completing NG+.
Yup I called out people for saying the game was easy early on lol. Then I unlocked some abilities and now I'm the Tsushiman.
Wind Stance really fucks guys up. The heavy attack has you cleave their head right down the middle sometimes
I love how simple it is to pull off headshots with the bow. Already maxed out the slo mo concentration
Still in Act 1. Game seems yuge. No reviewer really talked about the size of the map etc. 61 side quests!
It's worse but only slightly. Combat in Ghost is good but not on Sekiro level - Sekiro's combat just feels better. The world and story of Ghost are way better though. You actually want to help the characters in the game and the good story really drives you. In terms of upgradables and "skill tree" stuff, the system in Ghost is much better and has more of an effect in combat. In terms of gameplay, I had a shit load of fun with both. Ghost has the edge in graphics but Sekiro looks incredible on my OLED - they're both beautiful to look at. If Sekiro is a 9 Ghost is an 8.5.
Sekiro punishes you until you learn the combat system and master it to a pretty high degree. In Tsushima parries are important, but not that important. Outside of boss fights you also have multiple ways of killing enemies and for me using stuff like the kunai projectiles was almost like cheating, because they stagger almost everyone.

Why do you compare the games performance? The one is open world, the other isn't
Sorry, but this take is a little weird. Sure, Kurosawa has bene of great influence on the western of the late '50 and on the spaghetti-western of Leone, but the western as a genre is pretty much as old as cinema itself and a food bunch of its masterpiece have bene created during the '30s and the '40s, mainly by band of John Ford, but also names like Howard Hawks, Raul Walsh or Henry King .
I could be wrong but isn't that mostly because they are using face scans? in FFVIIR is possible because the models is custom made instead of face scan. Also Sucker Punch are small team compare to ND and R*, its like comparing graphics in Yoko Taro games to Nomura, I like Yoko Taro game way more but he just doesn't get same budget as Nomura gets for his games.
I honestly really liking it so far, especially the combat but I'm still in act one. The visuals is gorgeous and honestly I don't have much issue with the animation as much as some people here and controls are smooth and feels good to control, this definitely a Sucker Punch game.How are you liking the game so far? I need impressions Dan
Good thing i'm old and don't see the crap performance and otherwise don't mind small hickups.
Oh art direction is a whole different thing altogether, and GoT looks fantastic in that regard (like literally - no matter how realistic the game tries to be, it isn't constant Kodak Moment weather out there all the time). Just that coming fresh from TLoU 2, the animation work (or lack thereof) is a bit jarring. And yes, I do realize they are two completely different kinds of games and ND can be so much more anal about animation, given the limited scope (as opposed to an open-world game) of the game.
