I've played more games in the last few years as a woman, black woman, or alien woman than a dude bro.

Ninja gaiden 4 save me.

I have a feeling the new guy in ng4 will be a gay ninja.

got my money back selling silent hill F on ebay and immediately bought this... not my type of game really but I am intrigued to play purely based on the visuals, the world and the sound design. It 'looks' phenomenal.

You're living in 2022. Things have swung the other way. People are getting their lives ruined for seeing non-approved things about Charlie Kirk. The culture has shifted fast.

No a big problem is there's too many women who have a say in video games when your main audience is men.

If you were working on a female product like Barbie or Victoria Secret the men that work on these products don't change the product to fit their ideals, but when women enter the video game space they want to push their view on a male audience.

Women don't game like men do and their audience is men and they need to recognize this. I remember Colin Moriarty explaining how studios like GOT voted on continuing Jin's story or going with a female lead. Well now these studios have so many fucked men and sooo many females that most single player Sony games have lesbian female leads in them. Now we only have Spiderman and Kratos. Sonys Audience is 90% men and their games should represent that.

Oh! I thought she was monogamous. Didn't know she was low poly…

The panoramas are stunning, and the overall improvement is more than evident. It saddens me that so many people are trashing such a beautiful game, one of the few that truly looks different from other sandbox games.

Ninja Gay-den.

He looks the part but I doubt it. I hope we can purchase the extra outfits without pre-ordering.

The water physics are not good again, what a shame.

I would like to see a Sly Cooper game with those graphical advancements.

According to devs, this is not real. They have said multiple times you can play through the entire game with one weapon. It would just be harder due to its weaknesses. I would not trust journalists. At least two of them started on lethal mode and had to dial it down to hard and then further down to normal to beat the game before review deadline. They really have no standing or skill to comment on this nuance.

I mean i hope it's true but i heard reviews from absolute shills that usually have nothing negative to say and they still mentioned how heavy the game rely on rock, paper scissors system.

This isn't meant as an attack or defense of Ubisoft or GOY open world design - just as a preface!

But how do you guys think we truly break away from that? How could an open world like Yotei be less "Ubisoft" and more original?

I for sure see the camp clearing and fog of war/map design stuff but, for the most part, unless they spent another 5 years making every side quest wholly unique and in depth, I'm not sure how we reach a level of originality without it getting tied to the Ubisoft comparison.

To me, the Ubisoft open world slight feels similar to how any game that has stamina management or that "back and forth combat" or any level of difficulty is now a "souls like"

For me personally? it's all about:

how good the combat is
how fun\fast\interesting the traversal is
how good\interesting the writing\world is
how good enemy quality and variety is

I'm a simple man, if these things are just fun\well done, i don't care much if activities are repetitive because the core gameplay is fun so you just want more stuff to do.
When combat\enemies are good, you don't mind slaying 50 enemy camps, but it has to be super fucking good, when traversal is fast, interesting and skill based, moving around the map become a joy and not a chore, even a mundane sidequest can become interesting with good writing, witcher 3 did this good, gameplay was jus...ok but everything else was great.

Shadows for example had boring, slow traversal, kinda shitty combat and dull writing so the repetition set in almost immediately.

I think many open world feel repetitive because the writing and gameplay are not on par with smaller, more focused games.

This review complains about the change from stances to more weapons, how it makes less sense since there is no reason for a weapon to suddenly do less damage because the enemy is holding a different weapon than the ideal one.
I also agree with the complaints about the mission system.
In some ways Yotei is a downgrade from Tsushima.

It's a sidegrade, more weapons are just straight up more interesting and varied than more stances, but they should have abandoned the rock paper scissors system or reduce it to like 1 hit more with wrong weapon, not 2-3-4 hits more.

It's night and day. Too many improvements to list. This is a good watch. Also, this is probably PC or PS5 vs. PS5 instead of PS4 vs. PS5 to show the generational difference.
