There are no subtitles for background NPCs, you miss out on half the dialogue and they didn't even have lip sync at launch. It was very half assed for the way a lot of people would prefer to play it

Yeah I played it in English despite it sounds more Epic in Japanese. Mostly because I just can't read English fast enough to keep up and also takes away the immersion of watch their faces. Maybe as a movie it would be good but I just can't play, read at the same time. 🤣

I'm sorry, that's an insult to gaming. I'm gonna have to block you, then inform the authorities.

But seriously, the English voice overs are pretty damn good.

i was talking to a friend this week and realized that my favorite open world games have something big on the map that is always "watching" you during your joyrney, like the castle in botw or the tree in elden ring, i hope mount yotei is a signal that this one is making a top 3 with zelda and elden ring for me

I'm honestly most curious on how Jin's legend as the Ghost affiliates with Atsu.

One killer feature of GoT was how the game tried to be as un intrusive as possible, just following the wind and see what it brings you, I'd love to them to double down on that.

Also it doesn't have to be at launch but a new and improves Legends mode would be fantastic!

I've played Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut from PS+ Extra, the base game and DLC back to back and have the platinum trophy.

Absolutely masterful game and a breath of fresh air for open world games. Visuals, audio, gameplay, story, characters all very well made. The fact that the UI disappears and you can use visual cues to guide you towards the points of interest was great. The combat always felt badass. The only weak points I would say was the enemy AI was kinda dumb, but that was minor. For me, Jin Sakai's story arc was over after the game, so I understand why they want to do a spinoff.

I think Ghost of Yutei has a chance to improve on all aspects of the first game while offering a new origin story with a new setting. Sucker Punch haven't missed yet, and their games keep improving. I don't want to needlessly overhype it, but I'm definitely looking forward to it. It will look sublime on PS5 Pro.

As a side note, I think they will beef up Legends multiplayer mode and turn it into a legit GaaS, like Helldivers 2. Coop PvE games are very approachable and popular. I spent quite a lot of time playing the first iteration so I'm also looking forward to that as well.

Legends was like getting a free dessert after a juicy steak.

Why do these YouTube grifters deserve any living wage when they constantly spread false misinformation? Why doesn’t YouTube do anything about this? I wish YouTube wake up and seeing all the grifters posting misinformation and hate videos.

Sony needs to approach these things like Nintendo, it's getting out of hand. Start striking these channels and sending out Cease and desists. I dunno why they are so passive. You'll never see this kinda smear happening with Nintendo's brand as they don't play.

Youtube makes money off of it...

This is why I keep saying we have to organize to push back on hate narratives in gaming. It's not healthy for the industry and our hobby. It's getting REALLY bad recently.

Yep, social media lives off "controversy", "drama", culture wars, etc. This is why we see Elon retweet controversial topics : he just wants the engagement.

More engagement = more advertising dollars

You people don't get it. It's a woman in a video game. It's incredibly offensive. We didn't have these female ninjas back in my day. Tenchu never had a female character...

Also, funny how they all suck off GoT but don't even know there's a bisexual character in that game and one of the major ones. Don't tell them they'll start hating that one too...
