Looks ok. No better or worse than your typical action game.
What should be noted is how bad the AI is. Character runs around a small encampment and slashing everyone. And despite all the noise, nobody notices.
This is worse than when I played one of the Splintercell demos on 360 and you could kill a guy. And 20 ft away another guy just stands there and rotates 90s degrees at a time.
This.
I'm sure it will be a good game, but this is a massive gripe for me. The Ai in the first game was so bad, I literally just stopped doing stealth. It never really felt rewarding cause its like ,if the Ai is this dumb, who cares? Playing The Last Of Us 2 prior didn't help as that game had fucking dogs smelling for you and entire packs of people that knew when someone was missing and would start to investigate. I get they can't get all that shit in the first game as that is a tall order, but to not correct any of that in the sequel to make the Ai smarter to add some challenge is suspect and has this game feeling like a copy - paste, repeat type of game.
The Last Of Us 1 to 2 is a massive step up in gameplay, Ai etc
Ghost Of Tsushima to Yotei feels like DLC...
Looking at this game right now 2 months from release, I don't want to hear shit about AC Shadows being some "copy and paste" of any past AC title. Right now, that is the example of how you actually do a new gen sequel. Destruction added, real time weather system added, new ai added that factors light and shadow, sound etc, prone added and more. That is how you do a sequel.
I'll still get it day 1 and I'm sure I'll enjoy it for what it is, but its looking like AC Shadows is the new tier and the one to beat for Ninja / Samurai type concept. Those elements are bare minimum imho if someone is making an light RPG like this.
The spent 5 years to add one new weapon to the game
smh, I'm saying. A few generations ago, we would just except this as some side game, not an entire sequel, new entry etc If it was another game with Jin, like some side thing, I'd be ok, but this is a new character, new time frame, I expect more from a sequel like this and I don't think I'm asking too much for more destruction, more interaction with the world, better Ai, more ways to travel etc
