As a PC gamer who has only got to play PlayStation games since they started coming to PC, the intense Ghost of Tsushima love mystifies me. Most of the PlayStation games are good but somewhat overrated in my experience, but this one is just insanely overrated. It's the PlayStation game I bounced off the quickest - including Days Gone, which I actually finished even though I ended up not liking it much.
It's just a bog standard 'play 10 hours you've played the whole thing' open-world game with repeatable activities that soon become deathly boring. The visuals were pretty but in a very kind of deliberate way that felt artificial. The main character was a wet noodle, typical modern male character who gets mostly ordered around by everyone around them, including a whole bunch of typical girlbosses., stopping only to show off his ass every now and again. I can't even imagine playing through that whole game. So yeah, you could say I'm not too hyped for the sequel lol.

If not complete garbage, all exclusive console games are overrated and overhyped. Even timed 3rd party ones.

Good but overrated is the perfect description for many Sony exclusives. I still plan to play the original Ghost (and the sequel), but have bounced off twice so far. Same with Last Of Us - I want to like them, but struggling.
Highly derivative, particularly Ghost - they definitely played Origins and Odyssey a lot (both of which I love)…

Ghost of wokei. Now being serious, I played the first but it was just okay for me, so I'll wait until the pc port and a sale

I'd rate the majority of Ubi open-world games I've played above GoT - especially the older ones that still have badass main characters.

I've been a fan of most AC games, but personally I think GoT takes that Ubisoft formula and elevates it beyond what Ubisoft has been able to do. I think a lot of it has to do with setting though. Sucker Punch did a fantastic job highlighting the culture of Japan as well as the fantastic environments. I can't really say the same about Ubisoft's games. They do a good job recreating the region, but then they create caricature characters based on it's history like Da Vinci and Socrates that have me cringing most of the time.
But to each their own. Not every game is for everyone.

Today's reminder that while Resetera doesn't represent reality in any way, neither does NeoGAF

Wait so this games lead is voiced by Godot's community manager?
Ngl I gave them the benefit of the doubt at first just for using a woman character. It wasn't historically accurate in Jet Li's HERO when a badass woman blocked hails of arrows with her sleeves and some qi, but it was cool so I didn't care. No reason a woman can't be in a game like this unfortunately it would only happen to pander of course. Oh well it's joever guys.

I love all types of characters, so no issue there. The video posted was to add to the thread's discussion.

How Ghost of Yotei Gets History Right - IGN
Ghost of Yotei teases a ton of details about 1603 Japan, the Ainu, the Tokugawa Shogunate, and more that has us hyped for the new setting. Set as a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of Yotei follows Atsu on a quest to eliminate those on a list she carries with her across Hokkaido, known as Ezo...
I don't know which GoY thread was best to bump with this so I took a shot.

Why are we posting random youtubers with 40 subscribers ranting about stuff that has nothing to do with the game?

Huh? Erika Ishii is the game's lead. Who is Godot's community manager?

Outrage farming. Game isn't even out, so no one has a clue what the story is or if it's pushing any agenda. Prejudging and getting offended at any slight, just like era.Why are we posting random youtubers with 40 subscribers ranting about stuff that has nothing to do with the game?

it is very similar to assasins creed. Better than Valhalla but not as good as Odyssey imo.

It's insane. Others call it outrage marketing too. It's all the rage now. It's the only way some influencers and known rich people know how to get people on their side. They have to enrage people first, then ask them to join their newsletter or subscribe.
