@@kiplutu This is a summary of what the video said. It's not even my opinion. Is there a problem with summarising? Also, be my guest for liking something not respecting history. But I guess that's not what AC series has always been known for esp when they kept advertising for historical accuracy.
@@kiplutu Plus, read what the last line said, dude
I have heard from a few vids by other Asians that like, the "honor" thing is at best outright false, and aat the least grossly misrepresented.
@@chrisdiokno5600 other asians? Why would I listen to asians about japanese culture? how about we skip the middle man and ask the japanese themselves? Lol what you trying to say dude?
@@OneOkRockSamurai I mean moreso like, how in Asian culture as a whole, like, Hollywood has kinda exaggerated the whole honor aspect. Or like say, how in the JP dub of Tsushima, they don't repeatedly call themselves samurai. th-cam.com/video/giBmzgW-iOk/w-d-xo.html Like I love Tsushima. Also, what I find interesting is that, for all his claims of honor, Lord Shimura seems to be a relative outlier, as almost every other noble character we meet isn't too adverse to underhanded tactics
This game is less "cultural appropriation" and more "cultural APPRECIATION" This game shows how much time the developers spent researching Japanese culture and ideology to create a true masterpiece
More importantly they let you know that this is historical FICTION instead of trying so hard to convince you it's historical
Well, it’s authentic right. Nobody cares about accuracy when there is authenticity, passion, and soul put into work. Because when an artist put their soul into something, it has no choice but to show itself. When you look at AC shadows, not only is it inaccurate but it’s also inauthentic. On top of it it’s disingenuous. So you don’t feel any soul, passion or beauty when looking at it. After all, what is Art? Art to me is something that can show sorrow, passion, and beauty. Without those things, how can you call something Art? Really without beauty there is nothing. I think sorrow and beauty are two very important things when it comes to Art and relatability. Western games is lacking that in spades. When a game has sorrow, passion, and beauty. Then it has soul. Then it becomes relatable. The reason why Western AAA games are forgettable, and unrelatable these days it’s because it doesn’t have any of those elements. At least that is my theory.
@@The_Primary_Axiom you're ignoring the TH-camr main point since he STARTED talking about this situation
You don't seem to understand with regards to Japan what he meant when he says that Ubisoft was disrespecting Japanese
The way the civilians treated yasuke as a samurai
The out of season cherry blossoms and harvest
Even yasuke as a samurai
And to say that was all based on historical records and done with cultural consultation?
My English isn't good. I'm trying to be blunt to make up for it. What I'm saying is why tsushima is good and not shadow is because the atmosphere and design are all authentic and they did NOT lie about the story being historical fiction.
Don't forget the rest of the world isn't Canada or the United States.
Those two countries teach their school about leaving the UK and the colonial era, then 9 times out of ten they skip the Victorian era and jump right into the modern history of the industrial era.
Every other part of the world learn about mythology, taught about folk literature and history and not just something they read in a children book.
They learn about the middle ages, the Renaissance or in the case of most Oriental Asian countries the feudal era, then the Victorian and their industrial past.
When you are shown a piece of media presenting your country and it's history both the authencity and WHAT it claims as fact or fiction matters.
If it seems like I'm coming for your throat I apologize, that not the intent I'm just trying to be blunt and it may come off as rude.
As an Asian immigrant in the west I'm just frustrated over how my ethnicity has been treated as a joke in western media over the past thirty years and how Ubisoft is continuing that chain

馬鹿にも程があるだろう。
I´m not Japanese, but that is how I see it too. Plus it is really good game :D
Sucker Punch also actually went to Tsushima to study the island.
Ubisoft only badly googled it 😂
@@tethys17 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@tethys17 And what I found was a rice field in Myanmar.
For real bro, Ubi put no efforts, if they actually did research, the copyright infringement things won't happen.
It was published in the island's newspapers before GoT release. 'Mysterious foreigners have repeatedly come to investigate'
but due to the small local population, it did not lead to the discovery of the game's development.
それは発売前に島の新聞に掲載され、「謎の外国人が何度も調査に来ている」と現地で話題になりましたが、現地の人口の少なさからゲーム開発の発覚にまでは至りませんでした
Ghost of Tsushima is a perfect example of how to honor a culture with such a rich history as Japan, while still offering a game that ANYONE can appreciate playing.
Keyword being _anyone_ not everyone.
@@panzer00 Everyone, anyone, anybody, whomever, all - it all works!
They didn't just honor Japanese culture, they also honored the Mongolians'. The numerous Mongolian artifacts and the information about them is a testament to that fact.
@uhsul no, it doesn't.
A game for everyone is game for no one.
Anyone can play Gnost of Tsushima but not everyone will enjoy it.
@@panzer00 You've obviously got nothing better to do with your time except attack. Instead make your own comment - get a life bud.
What I also love about this game is that despite showing the Mongols as the primary antagonists, the game doesn't just kick them off the 'importance pedestal', and actually shows respect for the Mongolian culture as well. I absolutely loved reading and learning about so many of the Mongolian artifacts in the game. The developers respected both Japanese and Mongolian cultures. The Mongolians being the antagonists just so happens to be part of the historical setting.
Sucker Punch did everything right with this game.
They made sure the Mongols were a threat all the way through. They certainly respected them.
@@silverhawkscape2677 and the threat of their fire weapons and learning of the japanese culture and also how skilled the mongol archers are as well
I do wish they represented the Koreans and Chinese in the ranks
@@ॐIo In some ways, they did. Some of those artifacts indicate their origins. Especially the Hwacha being Korean in origin.
Well said, even by a filthy clanner ;)
"can you believe 80 years ago the Japan and US are fighting in a war, and now they are starting really understand each other" - has to be my favorite line from your video, understanding leads to trust, cooperation, and communication.
It's cultural appreciation. The director said, it's his love letter to the old samurai movies and culture. This game is a masterpiece
GoTはもっと称賛されるべき素晴らしいゲームです。私はこのゲームの本編をエンディングまで3周し、DLCはPS4が壊れるまで毎日遊んでいました。100回涙を流し、ファンアートを描き、ゲーム内であらゆる遊び方を試しました。敵役ではあるものの、モンゴルの素晴らしい文化にも魅入られました。モンゴル人のボスも理知的で聡明で合理的、カリスマに溢れる人間性をしています。敵役でありながら魅了されるこの世界すべてにリスペクトが感じられ、本当に感動しました。このゲームを生み出してくれたサッカーパンチを私も敬愛しています。近藤さんも好きになってくれたら嬉しいです。
皆に敬意を払いつつ楽しませるゲームって素敵ですね。勉強になります。
I honestly shed a tear when the title screen came out the first time I played this game. It's just so beautifully done.
I remember back when the game released, it was reported that some Japanese game developers were so surprised and envious, that foreign/American developers put more study and effort than any of their known fellow Japanese developers.
If you can cause feelings of envy, that alone means such a craft was made with passion beyond belief.
You can argue that some Japanese developers are capable of this too, such like the Biohazard series.
Look at the original versus the remakes, and you'll see what I mean.
Wait, Japanese have some affiliation with appreciating the wind?
Does that explain why some Japanese are drawn to be tourists and visit the Great Plains of the U.S.?
Where the Tornadoes _(Wind Vortex / Wind Cyclones)_ are created every spring?
It can go both ways. I have seen Japanese media depict the West's history with more respect and attention to detail than a lot of Western media.
What I think is happening here is that there will always be misconceptions and tropes in historical media that people are used to, kinda like how people complained about feathered dinosaurs in movies, and so developers, producers, artists, will often stick to these tropes that their own cultures know. A foreign culture on the other hand does not generally know or care about these tropes. Not always the case but in my experience you tend to get a different way of looking at your own history when it's told from an outside perspective. It has to come from a place of passion though.
It's hilarious americans made a more authentic Japanese game then any Japanese could. Jap devs have gotten worse
@@brotherknight9484 yeah might be weird to see dinosaur with feathers but I wouldn't mind since realistically the closest living descendants they got were birds and chicken's and I also agree that not all of them should have feathers since reptile is also close descendants
As a Yakuza fan I love GOT so much. This game alone made the RGG studio decided to release Ishin in the West.
I am an 56 year old gamer, who have gamet all my life. And this game is one of the best and most fun game i have ever played. I love as i am also a huge fan of Japanese history and culture. And here i feel i get an respectful game that is not trying to be historical correct.
This game would be better if they improve the horse tho a little bit like rdr2 horse a more realistic one with mood its own health and it's own status 😁😅
@@officialdreymedina3468 of coure if someone cares about horses like you do, I played this game traveling 80% in my shoes, there is so much to enjoy and see around every corner that I decide to finish this game being everywhere step by step.
@@officialdreymedina3468that would be pointless

how can it be traumatic? you were not alive at the time.
it's like saying the roman invasion is traumatic for the british.
but maybe the game gives the sense of reality of living at that time.
so it becomes more personal.
It may just be an awkward translation. But since history can be very dark and brutal, I could see what they mean. The probably learned about all the barbaric things that happened in the invasion and put it the perspective of something similar happening in the future. @@--Traveler--

Yeah Ghost of Tsushima wasn't also super accurate in all aspect, but it clearly more respectful to Japan's history and culture than AC Shadows will ever be.
One of the inaccuracies was including weapons from different time periods, despite the story all taking place in one time. But it's intentional - it doesn't break the story, and functions as a museum of historic Japanese weapons/technology. Not the same as getting seasons wrong with the rice + cherry blossoms. Or shrine gates as village entrances.
And the fact that Ubi tries to have this vibe of moral superiority and being respectful to cultures. all talk, no walk.
The one thing I noticed besides what is already mentioned is that they, GoT’s dev team never said it’s “historical facts” and try to change written history to fit the false narrative
AC Shadows hasn't even come out yet for people to even make this crazy ass assumption! Yall really triggered of a black man being a Samurai
@@neonmatt24 see the trailers and gameplays
@@CibereyeCh seen the trailers and 12 minute gameplay and it still isn't long enough for all this fake outrage
I mean kinda telling the same outlets praising Shadows were the ones super mad about Ghost of Tsushima. Modern gaming journalism is a joke and they are not to be taken seriously, they're literally just mad that a game based in Japan isn't "diverse" enough. Same shit happened with Witcher 3, a game based on books largely based on Polish folklore and such, where they called it racist for having a solely white cast of characters regardless of context (Poland even today is like over 99% white). Can't stress enough how much I hate gaming journalists.
Hope modders up their game and start changing even npc and characters just to be more accurate 🤣 if they won't listen bcz of their political views hope gamers themselves would take it on their hands 🤣🤣
Also the same with Kingdom Come Deliverance. I think some even kind of tried to make it sound like the game director was a far right extremist. I think, specially with USA “journalists”, since people from other countries can’t sue them for defamation, they consider them fair game. They can throw any insult and get away from it if it means extra clicks and engagement.
@@Daniel__Nobre I mean genuinely if you were to list out all the stupid takes it would be an endless list, like how apparently RE5 is racist for featuring black zombies in a game based in Africa, guess Umbrella shoulda just imported some white zombies to shoot at. Or even recently with Stellar Blade, how they immediately spazzed out because Eve is attractive, but then a week later the exact same people start acting like massive simps over the Hades 2 characters. Again these people are not to be taken seriously, and like you said a lot is likely rage bait like everything Alyssa Mercante does, but a lot of them are genuinely just brainwashed political activists pandering to a group of similarly brainrotted people on twitter. Tbh nothing makes me more secure in my view on these things than seeing how whenever they do, rarely, engage with actual people who oppose their view, they can't have a discussion without massively mischaracterizing what the person said or literally just putting words in their mouth. A good example recently was Jim Sterling, who is now nothing more than a corporate shill and a trans activist imo, who tried to lambast a guy who had the very common sense take that men and women have different bone structures (talking against female characters being masculinized I believe), and completely mischaracterized his stance basically calling it phrenology, which is such a false comparison its baffling, like obviously we can identify sex in criminal investigations based on the skeleton, identifying gender is a far cry from trying to say someone is a criminal based on skull shape. But of course this doesn't fit their little narrative where a man or woman is just whatever the hell they feel like, so gotta mischaracterize it and act like men and woman don't have unique bone structures.
Anyway sorry I know this is long but like I said can't stress enough how much I dislike journos and stuff like the above is why, and tbh idc if some people have opinions like this but there is no balance, no diversity where it counts which is in diversity of thought.
Yep I remember when they did this
They're jokes, not funny ones either

Wow that is amazing 😻
Sony is a japanese company that own a lot of America studios
@@1992TheDiamondWolf To be fair, if i understand correctly, Sony is currently being controlled by its US headquarters and not its Japanese one. Which is probably why it has had a rather weird relationship with anything sexual in games that they sell on their platform.
Granted i could be very wrong it is something i think i remember seeing/hearing about 5 or more years ago.
@@andy9476 Sony is multinational but it's HQ will remain in Minato, Japan for the foreseeable future. PlayStation HQ was moved to California to assimilate and use the entertainment foothold and take advantage of the more lucrative American market and studios. A lot of politics bled in return.

Another amazing fact was after this game was released one of the real life shrine gates on Tsushima Island that was heavily damaged and they try to raise a crowdfunding campaign to repair it. and the amazing part was GOT fans all over the world actually helped raise nearly a quarter of a million dollars to get it restored.
The first time I played Ghost of Tsushima I opted for Japanese dialogue with English sub and it hit different when Khotun Khan first spoke because he was speaking Japanese. Maybe it sounds silly but it really hammers down that the Mongols had studied the Japanese, even learning their language, so it gives depths to the enemy and shows that they weren't just ruthless people but smart, well-organized, and strategical army. Not to mention the game is so, so beautiful I clocked in hundreds of hours because I often stopped just to enjoy the scenery.
And sure, all the talk about honor did feel cliché from time to time, but everything else is just A++++. Great game, hope you continue playing it and enjoy it! I've been dying to see and know how an actual Japanese feel about this game.
I'm gonna buy this game on AC Shadows release day.
I knew this was coming 😂 I knew the aftermath of ACShadows would bring everyone to boot up Ghost of Tsushima again! Amazing game, and much more faithful. It’s not perfect, but you can tell that the creators had so much more care and love for Japanese culture and the Kurosawa film style! I’m replaying it now as well haha
Yeah, as well Rise of the Roning. Got it yesterday (thanks to the demo which convinced me) and i've a blast with it.
I am also Japanese (my family name is Shiwaku). I can't speak for all Japanese. But I will say that I feel a certain pride in knowing that there are folks who might not be Japanese, that fully appreciate the culture, as well as the understandings, and customs. Ghost of Tsushima represents to be, respect given from the outside inward. There is no hidden social-political preaching. There isn't some hidden agenda. It's 100% pure, unadulterated homage, in many respects. As such, I have enjoyed this game from beginning to end.
I can understand Jin's internal struggle with honor. He's fighting an enemy with a very different set of values. What's the use of warrior honor against an enemy who would invade just to take your land, resources and human hands to do menial work? The greatest honor here is to protect yourself, the survivors and fight back against the invaders.
I really like how alive Tsushima is both naturally and spiritually. It's like both are one in the same which is truly amazing. Foxes lead you to Inari shrines and when you bow to the Kanon statue glowing green bugs fly around you. It was like Kanon was saying thank you.
Realistically, there would be no struggle with honor. The Shinobi, aka ninja, was a accepted normal job position in the Samurai society.
@@IanJenn356094 The moral quandary was very important in some of the old samurai movies. I guess this game wanted to use it in Jin's character arc. In the movies the ninja job or a stance that lures your opponents in is dishonorable. A move of a coward. A movie that deals with this trope is "The Sword Of Doom." One of the best to be honest.
This is the most beautiful game I’ve ever played. My friend actually bought it for me for my birthday when it came out. He knows how obsessed with Samurai and Katana I am. (I have 3 Nihonto) I couldn’t believe this was a US made game when I looked up after finally finishing it. I need to play it again, I can’t remember if I played it through with English dialogue or Japanese.
The media in the West hated Ghost of Tsushima, ofc political reasons. I played GoT and currently have 80h and 60 achivements on Steam. One of the best games i've played. Cause the devs are actually gamers and huge fans of Kurosawa.
They even tried to cancel Cornelius Boots, a certified Shakuhachi Flute specialist for his stage performance in promotion for the game just because he wasn't Japanese. Nevermind his credentials or the fact, as already stated, he is certified to play it (since 2013).
@@PeninsulaCity2024Crazy how racist some of these people actually are when all they seem to complain about is how everything is racist.
Games weren't used to be political anyway gaming industry would shift if they continue to do that instead of games with storyline it would be games where u make ur own story
If Western mainstream media hates it, it’s a must buy for me.
I’m sorry this is a blatant lie, your perspective on an honest reality is lost. You are talking about a minority no one listens to unless they seek to find it. Ghost of Tsushima was praised and even significantly won the player vote for GOTY.
ツシマはまさに神ゲーだと思います。
なんと言ってもサムライ。しかもサムライとしての生き方と、日本を守るための泥臭さの苦悩に焦点を当ててますからね。しかもそれをプレー体験として落とし込んで心に刻んでくるんで。

開発者俺より日本人の心わかってるやん!って当時驚きましたよ。
This Game is a Masterpiece Shohei San, You will enjoy it
This game is the most authentic game ever made. Pure love and pure pasion for samurai culture. And so well acted and made over all. Do not think that we westerners do not understand Japan. We do and respect your culture and ethstesics very much. Thank you for giving me a play through with Japanese eyes. You can actually play the game in Japanese aswell
This game has one of (if not THE) best openings in a video game history imho. Glad you decided to check it out. It is now out for PC, so I will be having a go at it myself some time soon too I hope :)
One of the best, I'd say. It's difficult to say it's **the best** since there are so many games. My personal favorite is the MGS3 opening sequence.

@@AltioraQuaeriteCH Because you urge people not to play it when it releases rather to stream GoT. I mean that's kind of a hate campaign. GoT had it's own approach to how the game plays so is shadows using its own game play approach. I mean dual protagonist, crowded cities, changing seasons, different combat styles for the same game is fun and entertaining. Though GoT being a good game did not offer you things such as crowded cities and others so why won't I play shadows which also offer something different?

20年前の映画ラスト・サムライは日本を理解しようとする試みと完成度に合格ラインが与えられる出来栄えだったと思うけど、やっぱりまだ違和感のある部分は多々あれど、「エンタメ」としては合格だったと思う。おそらく起用されていた日本人スタッフや俳優たちの働きかけのお陰もあったのだと思うけど、今年話題になったSHOGUNで主役を演じた真田広之さんがラスト・サムライの時は俳優の立場からあまり介入できず残念だったということを仰られてましたね。あの経験が今回のSHOGUNで生かされてたと思います。ゴーストオブツシマもそうだけど、他文化圏からすると理解の難しいと思われる日本文化についての解析度が近年上がってきたと感じていた矢先に今回のアサシンクリードの適当な仕事ぶり。気を抜くとすぐにアサシンクリードのようなクオリティの低さに落ちるんだなって改めて思いました。
I just hope you know that MOST Americans do not approve or want the new Assassin's Creed game. GoT was the last Western made game i bought and i don't have any plans on buying another anytime soon... As the Western Gaming and Media companies have been overrun with idealists that want nothing but to force their fanatical beliefs on others. Ruining things people have loved for years in the process. Japan is not alone with being disgusted by what they are trying to do to Assassin's Creed.
I’m glad to hear that. UBI doesn’t respect not only Japanese people but also the other Asian people.
Even if UBI didn’t know Japanese culture well, they could know that there are four seasons in Japan…
This is one of the best and most beautiful game i have ever played. Replayed it twice, first on the Ps4 and when I got the Ps5 for my kid, bought this game and played it with her. Then it just came out on steam so i bought it again for my PC and i am going thru it again. Never get tired playing this game.
I played it twice, once on Normal and the second time on Lethal+ and I did all of the multiplayer just so I could get every achievement for this amazing game. Truly a remarkable experience.
I love your cheeky jabs at UBI Kondo. It's so cathartic to see a Japanese enjoying this love letter to your culture.
I’m currently replaying this game. It’s in my top 5 of all time. Super stoked for you to play this game. Love from Canada.
Quite literally the most gorgeous jaw dropping game I’ve ever played. Thanks for your perspective.
Glad you played this game as a reminder to everyone of how dramatically different it is from AC Shadows. I remembered Tsushima as being more "authentic" from when I played it long ago, but I'd forgotten much of the classic samurai movie cinematography, etc. Seeing it again right after the AC Shadows videos really emphasizes the huge difference between Sucker Punch's loving homage to Japanese culture and samurai movies versus Ubi's "yeah whatever, it looks Asian I guess" + forced Western sensibilities approach. Ubi wants to say the complaints are just about putting a black man in AC Shadows, but clearly it's not that, and this video emphasizes why Tsushima was so good and AC Shadows is just insulting.
The main actor of Ghost of Tsushima learned how to use katana, you can see video of him on TH-cam with the Sword.
I absolutely love your commentary! I got chills every time you approved of anything in the game! Also learned a new term: Kamige 🥰
The raw emotion in the acting as well as respect for the Japanese culture is why I got hooked to this masterpiece I just finished the main story and I can’t believe how my much tears I shed for this game and made me just hate more what Ubisoft is doing I’m going to Japan in a thew months so I’m glad I can actually see your culture with my own eyes and yeah man Sucker punch are very respectful for actually visiting Tsushima to learn and create this with permission and respect
Shohei I hope you keep going man I’m still on act 1 but I love this game.
Ever since I started watching your channel & the shogunate I started learning more about miyamoto musashi and have gotten more into Japanese history.
Love your content, ありがとう!
Thank you!
Trying to finish Sekiro then I’ll be playing this one next for the first time
I highly recommend this!
I played GoT for 90 hours and it’s amazing. Best fight system in a game.

@@deshidratar-metauranocircita it’s the only way to play it 👍 I recommend it to

This Game is 10/10 I recommend

You should definitely play it until the end, with Japanese dubbing. The story made me cry like I haven't in decades, and I'm a middle aged man. Ghost of Tsushima isn't just a game, it's a true work of art.
Sunk about 100 hours into this game and absolutely love every minutes of it
The respect this game shows for japanese culture is amazing! I love this game so much. Oh, also, love your commentary while you play :)
Thank you!
I played this game and know this is the shinobi experience I wanted. I even replayed it again in Kurosawa mode and still love it more. Even in Japanese dub.
When you walk through grass slowly Jin will slowly guide his hand through the grass.
So much appreciation hence the directors become Ambassador for tourism of Tsushima, now that's how to make a game
I'm honestly so glad I got this game. you see more character development with in the first few hours of Ghost of Tsushima than most Ubisoft titles have in their entire playthroughs.
Wow this game looks amazing, I know what I'm doing this weekend :)
Funny you say the Japanese making Red Dead Redemption 2. The first game in the seies, Red Dead Revolver, used to be a Capcom property led by Yoshiki Okamoto with the American studio known as Angel Studios under his lead.
The project ran into development issues, which resulted in Okamoto leaving the project and Rockstar Games buying the intellectual property and studio (Angel studios became Rockstar San Diego).
Red Dead Revolver still has those Japanese elements in the final build, though they did scale back the comedy/silly tone it initially had. I think they were originally going to let your character fly around like a bird as well. Lol.

Maaan, this is more then a revenge story. The prolog hits so hard when you see it again after eating the game.
Also, would be cool to hear your oppinion on the japanese voice acting. It was mostly done by anime voice actors
I’m only 7 minutes in and I hope you plan to make more episodes. Getting your insight is not only helpful to provide context but also provides a richness that many Americans who appreciate history, Japanese culture and film (namely Kurosawa) that we really cannot get anywhere else.
Would love to see you keep playing this game. It really is a fantastic experience!
I always heard this was a very good game, but I didn’t know it was that accurate ,after watching your video I’m gonna have to play this.
Ghost of Tsushima takes many liberties with history, like using more modern armour and weapon aesthetics than would've been normal at the time, and the developers have been forthcoming with this. A lot of it is just for fun, like how Jin fights, or to strengthen that connection people already have with the prevailing image of the Samurai, especially in the west. The idea was not to accurately represent history, but to pay homage to the idea of Japanese culture and history, in ways that the Japanese could find tasteful and respectful despite its many concessions for the sake of entertainment. If a Japanese gamer ever confused this game of being made by Japanese developers, I imagine it would've been the greatest compliment you could've given them for their efforts.
I’m European and I’ve always loved feudal Japan and samurai history, and this game is my favorite video game of all time. I will always recommend this game!
If you continue playing this I'll watch your playthrough
great to see you love this game.
at first I was confused whether this game will be good or not cuz japanese theme game made by westners kinda sus.
i saw reviews about how good it is and how the devs traveled to japan to view it themselves and many other things which increased my interest more and more in this game.
Finally Tried it this year as it came to PC and I absolutely loved it, it is exactly the type of game I wanted to play so badly from so long. SAMURAI YAH!!!
What a great playthrough! I wish there are more japanese TH-camrs for english viewers...
Thank you so much for sharing! I love this game and glad you did as well
One of my favorite games ever played! I can't stop listening to the soundtrack from time to time because it's just so good!
Love how so many people came out accusing Ghost of Tsushima for cultural appropriation but the same people are quiet now and not saying a word against Ubisoft.
You're strictly talking about game "journalists". Well and redditors lol. Everyone else knows this was a love letter to the samurai. And that the new AC is pandering, ideal pushing trash.
Please finish this game it's a masterpiece. The opening title scene always gives me goosebumps.
This is cultural **appreciation**. Also this video was awesome. I hope you continue this series and playthrough, I really enjoyed every minute of this.
I've said it before and I said it again - absolutely love watching you play games and give cultural context to them. Keep it up big dawg 👍
Assassin's Creed: Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
Ghost of Tsushima: Honor, self control, and defend those who can't defend themselves.
It's not hard to see which side is closer to true Righteousness.
If you've played Assassin's Creed (the first few games) you would know that this sentence doesn't mean "anarchy"
Whatever they think that means, it's awfully close to the Marxism ideology core: There's no truth but power. It's the direct path to authoritarianism.
@@SyamDaRos-EndoManno Oh I've played all the classic ones. My last AC is the British one with the siblings, and I didn't finish it.
Indeed it doesn't mean anarchy. It's quite the contrary, actually. It's basically a re-write of the core M4rxcism doctrine: there's no truth, only power. They thirst for the power to sculpt their utopia, against nature, and human nature. That's the path of authoritarianism.
I have it on PC OMG GHOST OF TSUSHIMA is one of the best game I have ever play and wow the way it looks WOW !!! I have had and still having so much fun \o/
Ah you end on the best part, perfect! Opening title sequence gave me goosebumps (and others- watch YT reactions sometime, fun). Beautiful music and art. Music swells up as - exit the forest, birds fly up, u touch grass.
the whole Assassins Creed thing sure boosted your account, good for you, keep it up. We need more youtubers like you.
By far the best samurai game I’ve ever played in my life. They just had no idea how bad Western gaming would get at the time when they talked negative about ghost. Because you have to remember back then the bar was somewhat high now it’s at the floor. So now when you make a game that is decent people will think it’s great. If you make a game that is bad people will think it’s decent. That’s what happens when the bar gets really low. We had no idea how bad western AAA games would become back then. If we did, ghost of Tsushima would’ve been a masterpiece and work of art. Which it is.
The two main producers of the game were named honorary citizens of the island of Tsushima. Pretty cool.
Having spent my youth watching and rewatching Kurosawa films, I knew there was something special about this game when I started playing.
Amazing video, i learned something new watching this. Glad you enjoyed the GOT, sadly We never got a sequel.
This game is truly a masterpiece for me. Visuals are beautiful and the story is amazing. Sad that this is what Assassin's Creed Shadows could have been if only gave the culture and history the same respect that Sucker Punch did. Ubisoft didn't bother to give even a fraction of care/love that these developers did. Thank you Sucker Punch for an unforgettable game :) I hope you enjoy it as much as the fanbase did! Opening credit scene still gives me goosebumps lol
Literally reminds me of AC Shadow but being right in culture, tradition and history with little fiction because it needs to add something like action. How I wish AC Shadow should do this... Sadly they might not.
shadows took the art style, people bowing around when they see you etc from GoT and they made it 10x worse lol. And GoT took AC influenced stuff and made it 10x times better.
This is what a game with love and respect looks like.
I've just bought this game because of this video. I wanted this game since they announced it. It was a PlayStation exclusive, and that made it a problem for me. After that, I forgot about this game until you posted this video. I investigated a bit and was really surprised to see that it has come out for PC in May 2024. I'm so excited to be able to play it for myself now! 😁
I wish Yuna was a strong black bi curious, non gendered individual, but other than that, everything is perfect
One of my favorite games of all time. They did a killer job
I’m on my FOURTH play-through. Played the normal base game, NG+ and then directors cut version with the expansion story. Now I’m playing again from scratch. I love it so much.
I decided to check TH-cam to see if there is anyone playing it for the first time and what a treat and honor to see a playthrough with someone so knowledgeable and can provide insight! Thank you so much!
Dude needs more subscribers I would dead watch a whole playthrough of this with you giving facts
Ghost of Tsushima was for me the AC: Japan that AC never did. When I heard that AC really made an attempt at Japan I was hyped of course. We all love the idead of ninja assassins. The way you go from Samurai to Shinobi in Ghost of Tsushima is just so perfectly made ... with the grapling hook and the whole outfit change before you sneak into the castle. It's just great...
this game learns so much about life and honor. ac shadows will learn ppl whats diversity
Honestly such a great touch to have the wind serve as your navigation system...They really did everything they could in this game to minimize the UI without lessening the player experience. It strikes the perfect balance of ease of access, and immersion in the environment. All the info you need is right there, but nothing takes you out of the game and the beautiful scenery the dev team took the time to make. This is easily one of my favorite games of all time and I'm so glad you are enjoying it.
It was obvious from the get go, that Ghost of Tsushima was not only a better Japanese themed AC game but a better AC game in general. That game utilizes all of the best things about the older AC games and makes a well crafted newer version of it for the modern age of gaming. I know it’s not fair to compare it to AC and it should be rated on its own, but it’s very hard not to compare how GOOD Ghost of Tsushima is to Assassins Creed now.
Not sure how you'll take this but I'll say it anyway.
As a Brit i kinda have a slightly invested interest in its depictions of the Samurai and if it is accurate because the UK and Japan are both island nations we've arguably had a good relationship minus WW2 and when you go through history you come across Englishmen like William Adams who would become the first British/English Samurai some claim the first White Samurai serving Tokugawa Ieyasu as an advisore which got the trade ball rolling for Great Britain and japan
so from a historical context while the games somewhat fictional events take place long before his arrival in Japan as a foreigner seeing what someone from my country would have had to adjust too the way of life, the different belief system and mindset its incredibly interesting and with HBOs Shogun increasing that interest given it kinda centred around those two.
Ghost of Tsushima and Shogun have helped massively in portraying this time period of Japan for western audience very accurately I feel helps us understand Japan much more.
The first hour of the game will always be the most memorable moment i have ever played in any video game. i am glad you're taking your time to play this game because it is indeed a masterpiece in its own right
One of my best game ever. I love it. Unlike Ubisoft who doesnt respect Japanese culture, Sucker Punch actually spend years studying the culture and even though they said they still have alot to learn, they gave the culture alot of respect and even tell people the storyline isnt base on one for one actual events. Much respect for the American developer from Seattle instead of French Developer Ubisot
And they didn't even claim to be accurate, looks like they wanted to pay homage to Japan, i love Japan to so i understand what they tried to do, they did not try to put a damn kukojin in there for no reson, i love Japan ❤
This game is in my opinion the best Assassins Creed game ever produced, pun intended. It is exactly how it should be. 10/10
