PS4 / Xbox One... Reviews in Progress

what might y'all compare ghost of tsushima to?

sort of zelda breath of the wild looking, god of war-esque? just trying to figure out if I'd enjoy it..

 

I only have the first 2 stances unlocked but am definitely switching between them depending on enemy type

 

I would recommend it yes . I find the combat difficult to master because I turn into a button masher when I get nervous which is 100% the wrong thing to do so I die a lot but its still awesome

 

well I'm downloading it...needed my next single player to pass the time with.

 

I think this one gives you close to 40 hrs of main story play time IIRC. That's not including the side missions I don't think? So you should get plenty of time in the game. It is beautiful and the combat it a lot of fun.

 

so...maybe Skyrim-like in the story sense?

 

Any of you guys playing Ghosts. Have you played Bloodbourne, Dark Soul or Nioh? Just trying to get a handle on the combat difficulty. I'm a huge fan of those three and if the combat is even close to as hard I'll probably grab it. I was going to wait for the PS5 and get it. I recently found myself with a lot of free time on my hands and since the PS5 will be backwards compatible it seems like a solid way to kill a few days.

 

I'd compare it more to Assassin's Creed games, maybe Far Cry.

 

dang I haven't played any of those haha

 

Metroid + Zelda + Mortal Kombat?

 

Finished Act 1 last night -- be prepared for at least an hour of play when you get to the last mission. Took me an hour and a half with a couple of breaks. I'm leveled up pretty far, so it wasn't necessarily hard, just long!

 

I'm thoroughly enjoying Ghost of Tsushima , still in Act 1 but I have all 4 stances unlocked now so I'm
getting a handle on the combat system

 

I had to start over because I got sidetracked in Destiny. I forgot how the combat system works and I forgot some of the story line so I just restarted. I wasn't very far in. But it is a really good game. Love the combat system.

 

I agree I'm enjoying it. Also in Act 1, 2 stances unlocked still.

I got a blue screen of death that said "game data is corrupted please delete game file and reinstall" and I freaked out, but it let me just close and reopen the game right where I was.

 

I have finally gotten it down and change it often. I like how they matched to the buttons, X - swordsmen, O - shieldsmen, etc. I keep finding spots to take pictures, lol. Just a beautiful game.

 

I'm using sticky bombs a lot right now lol

 

If it does that again try cleaning out your cache on your PS4. Hold the power button down for around 8 secs and it will boot up in safe mode. Select clean cache and it will reboot. I clean mine about once a month. Seems to make the menu system preform better.

 

oh very nice I've never done that....haha

 

I keep trying to get some time to play it. It really is a beautiful game. But I keep getting sucked back into Destiny to help Clan mates get some Trials wins for the title this season.

Trials is the hardest thing to do in the game and is the most high stakes game mode in PvP. PvP is about all I do in the game so to be able to get the title and finish out your armor pieces for this seasons solstice event you need 7 wins (not in a row).

I recorded this helping a couple of clan mates get a win. They had been trying for over 4 hours.

I don't have "clean cache" as an option.
