GMT for the win, what you most looking forward to in this game mate?

Exploration and stealth. I'm going to be walking everywhere and soaking it all in. The mood even lends itself to playing in a more sedate way.

 

[Bryank75]

Just got my CE. This mask... wow, it looks beautiful, feels pretty heavy and doesn't even fit my face because it's that big. I love it!

Get mine tomorrow morning...can't wait. I also bought a bonsai tree.... for my office. LOL

Same here, Exploration and stealth are both things I am greatly looking forward to doing in this game, I know reviews have said the stealth is largely so-so but from what I see I love it, the jumping across rooftops, using wind chimes to exploit Mongol patrols before taking them out with a swift throw of my Kunai.

Exploring this world will be magnificent I am sure, the wide plains of nature and staggering mountainsides/monuments deserve to be explored.

Cannot wait to take my time and just enjoy this game, even on my Slim I am sure it will look outstanding.

If you can't bring your office to feudal japan, then bring feudal Japan to your office.

I might just have to buy a Bonsai tree for my room now....

Alright just gotta get through work today, take a brief POWER NAP afterwards, and then ready to rock this at 12AM!

Off tomorrow too

Same here. It looks like the sort of stealth I love. Being hard for the sake of being hard never interested me, unless hard is one of the core elements as in Souls or Bloodborne, which I love.

Exactly, unless the difficulty works and is part of the games DNA like Soulsborne games, I just find it cheap and tacky to slide up enemy AI to insane levels and say that is hard mode.

Some Let's Plays are going up! AVOID SPOILERS FOLKS.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Avoiding reviews for possible spoilers, so Im gonna ask here...

How has the combat turned out? Is it difficult and demanding? Do the enemies attack you all together or is it always a one on one while the rest watch?

Not Souls or Bloodborne difficult. It relies heavily of stances and assessing what type of enemy you're confronted by. You can get into a rhythm and defeat enemies quite easily IF you remain concentrated at all times, which fit the theme PERFECTLY in my opinion. There are 'bosses' that challenge you harder and 'standoffs' for that ultimate filmic thrill.

Souns very samurai-like yeah. Would you think this is better developed than, for example, AC Odyssey? That combat seemed serviceable at best, with almost no weight to it.

Some have said 'yes' to that, some have called it 'serviceable'. The best review to listen to (don't watch) is Skill Up:

 

[Slothbeing1209]

Ps4 base fps goes from 25 to 30 fps.
Hope the 8gb patch will fix this. Anyway ps4 pro resolution mode fps looks good. I will go with that

I need sad or angry react!

Very positive reviews. Great job for a new IP. Will be picking this up eventually, love the atmosphere.

Exactly how I feel as well.

For everyone with a PS4 Pro:

Quality Mode: 1800p / 30 with rare drops to 29/28
Performance Mode: 1080p / 30 rock solid


I hope the PS5 Patch will up this to 4k/60

Thanks for all the comments and dm's about the review folks. I am stoked people liked it that much. Glad to see people are excited to get into this one.

1800p! yes, much better than 1440p

dont see the point of performance mode i guess if you have 1080p TV

You're review was brilliant, incredibly hyped and also grateful for your posts and contributions here!

 

[SkylineRKR]

This is not a DMC or Nioh, i go with resolution mode. I want those vistas.

I actually lost my Nioh save file before I got even half way, so I'm going to play Ghost and then go back to that....

I should have my fill of samurai after that! (If not, there's always Nioh 2)

Imagine if they make a few key hires and iterate on what they have laid the groundwork for here.... would be cool to be able to sail to different Islands and stuff. A new climbing system and so on.

None, they are the same technically.
But from my experiences on PS4Pro Quality Mode: the grass i beautiful

I dont get it either. Why no one exploits human history like ubi does?
People obvious are craving this type of games.

Sony won't go after Ubisoft like that. Highly doubt it.

I mean shit, Ubi was jumping on the GoW future roadmap Jaffe and Barlog talked about in the past.

BryanK said he loved your review so assumed it was on YT.

Game looks great

His review is in the OP. It's ACG.

 

[Vawn]

She's going to be upset to find out her world is full of PlayStation 3's, one PS Vita, but zero PS4s.

 

[TTOOLL]

Just watched the DF Review, the game is stunning. Quality work indeed.

 

[Knitted Knight]

They better not get too close to the sun, lest they want to find themselves like EA gifting out free games in public displays of apology and regret.

 

[Darklor01]

I can't see Ubisoft becoming a Sony studio. I just can't. For me, the quality of their games just don't measure up to the quality of Sony's 1st party titles. I'm not saying that Ubisoft isn't a AAA publisher, or that they don't have some really great (and some really shyte) games.. It's just that Sony's first party titles are generally high high end in quality. Like, next level.

Looking foward your review.

Got mine delivered a couple of hours ago (surprisingly, since it only officially releases tomorrow). Almost time to play it!

Tbf, her world "stopped" in 2013, so at least she won't have to suffer through TLOU II

Spoiler

I kid, I kid

 

[Xaero Gravity]

For the love of god don't play the game at anything below hard, and even hard become a cakewalk after a couple of upgrades.

I started on hard since that's what was being recommended even back then.
