Ghost of Tsushima.
Pretty cool so far.
Been debating a playstation purchase for this game alone.
Personal opinion: not that great of a game. Essentially doing the same stuff on the same types of enemies the whole game. Got bored with it maybe halfway-ish through and have no urge to revisit.
Maybe the story is really good? I can’t bring myself to pay attention to any of the cutscenes, so it could be about collecting Beanie Babies for all I know.
Again, just my opinion- maybe you’ll love it. Who knows.
I know what you mean, Sneaky. It's 100% a story driven game with hack & slash mechanics. I enjoyed the ability to learn new skills to help with combat sequences, but I can definitely tell how it could get stale for some people.
I'm just extra biased because I'm Japanese.
I understand that sentiment about it being repetitive, but honestly most all open world games are bloated with checklists of the same shit over and over nowadays. It also just depends on the subject matter.
For instance I couldn’t finish horizon zero dawn. Just got bored for whatever reason. I know, some people will be like whaaatt. It’s really funny though, for whatever reason, sometimes I can put up with the same stuff and sometimes I can’t.
My favorite game of this past generation was red dead 2, and although the story AND gameplay are super repetitive, I still couldn’t put it down.
I am loving ghosts so far though, looks like I’m about a third of the way through.
Really like the sword play, and so far am wondering what’s up with the story.
Also Mad Max, which has one of the most boring of all game loops and is just a brawler/beat em up at its core, was fun for me.
Maybe I just like doing the same thing over and over. Unless it’s mafia 3 or something. Will say there is a great soundtrack in that one.
Also sometimes for certain games, its just better to mainline the story missions and mostly ignore the side quests. Sometimes you'll get burned though, it depends. I try to do an even amount of each until I get the flow of the story. Then decide whether or not to move ahead or whatever.
