Off topic but i don't know how we played all that back then, we were much happier and had more fun. Can we go back?
Sometimes i don't know if Digital Foundry ruined me or not.

i dont think 10/10 games means perfect or flawless games, imo a 10/10 game just means that it must be played, that said, i dont think GoY is a 10/10 game for the simple reason that has no Jin on it.

I don't get hung up too much about review scores. However, I do think having an aggregate score based on different components of a game would make things much easier to understand. Most magazines back in the day used to average the score after considering visuals, sound, music, gameplay, value for money, etc.,
If I was to give a game a 9+, it would simply come down to whether I'd play the game again after finishing it. Games like The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, are recent examples, even if they have their flaws.
I'd have to give GOT a 9 because I completed it twice and platinumed the game. I only have 11 platinums in total. Hence why I'm excited for GOY.
BOTW is an easy 10 for me.
Elden Ring is another.
GT7 as well.
I don't think I'd play Expedition 33 again, so for me, that'd be an 8. It's a top-tier one and done for me.

I mean I like it but its just another more content dlc-ish type sequel that Sony has been making, It's strange people keep glossing over thatAnd you and others have some weird attachment to downplay this game?
Reviews come out and majority are positive if not glowing about the game, but..... no, no, no, you cant trust reviewers
Game looks like last gen....... gets praise from DF and others, but...... no, no, no, here's some cherry picked screenshots to try and prove otherwise
I could go on with the goalpost moving, but whats the point
Are you even interested in buying it? genuinely curious

Since i m banned from the OT for being an annoying anti woke bastard i ll let my initial impressions here.
Amazing presentation and the opening act its just chef kiss, the lethal difficult is so good that it make the combat tense as a real sword fight should be, If you make a mistake you are cooked.
Japanese dub is great but its seens to have the same lip sync problem from Tsushima.
Graphics are great and what Sony did on this game marketing should be considered a crime and for the ppl saying that this is Tsushima DLC its not, its way more beautiful and i m eating crow right now ( again i blame Sony )
Also, Atsu Kaasan is beautiful af.
Atm this game feels Kill Bill on every corner and Atsu is better than i imagined , waaaaaay better ( i blame Sony again )
And just one more time, what Sony did on the marketing of this game should be considered a crime.

Button spamming? Mini games? Empty world? That doesn't really sound like GoY at all. Especially the comment about button spamming, that is a pretty quick way to die on anything other than easy.

I don't feel there is any significant buzz or/and real hype around this game...yeah, the feeling of been there done that was real since the moment they show anything about this game... this has been a long time coming for the meme blueprint of Sony games.... cherry on top?.... The game not winning GOTY... ideally? completly overshadowed by other games.
I was not even going to watch any reviews but I hear somone talking about the Skill Up one. so i watched
1 the amount of views shows lack of interest in the game, not even for the "drama" of a critical ("negative") review
2. this game will continue and probably be the worst offender of this ongoing trend of quintessential Sony games dropping out of the gaming zeitgeist fast.

Moderated wildly
I'm so angry at eBay and myself for getting conned. Kinda tempted to not use eBay anymore.
Was really looking forward to playing this. Hopefully I can pick it up over black Friday period at the end of this month.
Gutted as these comments have me hyped to play. I wanna destroy some fools!

He said it was a good game (his exact words), just that it plays it too safe by being to similar to it's predecessor.
Which is a rather bizarre complaint after his God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, and Spider-Man 2 reviews.

If that's what he says i completely get it we've had a generation of very samey sequels not to bash the game but its not exactly a 10/10 experience. It feels very familiar but does the good bits very well and yes has some tame and unimpressive elements. 60m budget id say theyve done very well. Its the definitive 7/8 out of 10

I agree that it has a lot of similarities, but so do the other games as well. I'd argue that those are all even safer by featuring the same protagonists but they all apparently get a pass. Nothing annoys me more than a reviewer that is inconsistent with their own criteria. IGN and other outlets I accept, as they are a rotating set of reviewers.

GoW, Horizon, Spideman 2 are sequels, they keep the story going foward while making some changes to the gameplay.
GoY is basicaly GoT re-skinned, there is some chances to the gameplay, but at the end of the day the story is doing nothing new, there is no moving foward, its just more of the same.

There is plenty new, the characters, locations, and story are all very different. The very theme of the story arc is totally different vs Tsushima. Exploration of the map is different, as is the combat and lots of the side activities. A huge bulk of the games story is nonlinear as well, which GoT certainly didn't have. The gameplay change from GoT->GoY are on the same level as the gameplay changes as those other games, or even simply more so. It's simply disingenuous to claim those other games are more different as sequels.
If you think GoY is re-skinned, then those other games are also simply re-skinned. Heck, in Spider-Man 2's case they don't even change the location.
I fully agree that GoY is very similar to GoT, but that applies for almost every single other Sony sequel this gen. Many other games this gen as well.

Try playing it and come back. I've played all of the games mentioned and GoW and Spiderman don't feel different at all. GoY feels significantly better. Movement, climbing, attacking, etc all feel better. The flow of the open world is also much better and I don't find myself getting bored after 45+ hours. GoT I put down twice before finally going back to beat it just to have it done before GoY came out.

I did play all of them and thats a fair point imo, GoY is a good game, but does not move the niddle in any direction.
Again all of those games are at least moving the story foward, GoY is doing nothing new, you said yourself GoY feels significantly better, better is the same but better, there is basicaly no differences from GoT core gameplay, It has best assets and animation.
The story even If the start is good is just a revange story that we played dozens of time by now. Again GoY is good game that does not move the game foward and i kind agree with his opinion on this.
