@@Aaron3020x Haha you're probably right! I'll never finish it at that pace haha. I can't believe how right they got this one. Gonna start playing and streaming it soon.
@@cam3686 True. It got the player's voice award so that means the majority wanted Ghost Of Tsushima to take it. I hope the sequel gets it in the future.
As awesome as GoT was, I think Nioh 2 or the last of us 2 were easily better games. But tlou2 story sucked and GoT has a much more like epic movie feel than Nioh 2. There was also doom and cyberpunk
Alright, this guy IS an expert. Catching the Kurosawa homages is easy. Knowing about what kind of cameras Kurosawa would have used and why that makes his camerawork so notable for his time takes actual study.
@@problematic_canik sorry, but thats not an excuse. I want all games on every platform, so everyone can enjoy them in any form they wish. Making games platform exclusive is just so anti-consumer. I dont want to buy a system when I already have an expensive system, that can very much play it, but cant cuz of exclusivity...
I was hopping you’d show him when Jin unsheathed his katana and the moonlight reflects from the blade to his eyes. Every time I see that I get goosebumps 😮💨
I'm 330 hours in the single player campaign as of 2021. 4 full playthrough . One level up each run. I thought I knew how to play this game. I thought I was a master samurai... until playing the hardest difficulty, with new game plus. I thought wrong. Lol. I'm getting my ass kicked. I love this game.
Welcome back!!! I’m glad he was able to come back. I still love how he looks at things from a filmmaker point of view. It makes me appreciate alot of games more.
He’s basically my brain when I’m watching playthroughs lol it’s so epic tbh. to see someone else give appreciation, love, and context into something is always wholesome and great

still so happy to see more episodes done for ghost of tsushima, an absolutely legendary story that will always be remembered! the game is a masterpiece and i hope more continues to be added to it. also, justice to my man harunobu odachi he was treated with such disrespect. i do however love that the hero of tsushima skin is his armor
Played the story through 5 times just for the ending where Jin says "you will be forgotten" and then slices the khan's head off. 😅I'm not a maniac but it's pretty satisfying
Not only is this game amazing from a filmmakers standpoint, but also from a writers standpoint. It’s easy to have a hero and a villain oppose each other, but neither Jin or Lord Shimura are necessarily in the wrong. They are simply two warriors who’s paths happened to cross on opposing sides, and storytelling like that is admirable.
Fun fact my dad, Brian fleming, is the CEO of suckerpunch and he loved the video! I went into the studio a few times and it was really cool to watch the motion capture studio! anyways, great video!
This is so cool!!! Man if there's ever any opportunity to come check out the motion capture technology, please let me know! I'd love to check it out and understand how it's done!
William as always has amazing insight and knowledge. The Khotun Khan fight is also a masterwork of filmmaking because you want Jin the Protagonist to win so badly, that you're surprised when it's impossible to win the boss fight. And it makes sense because in reality, Jin right before this fight, had been exploded, partially set on fire, seen literally all his friends get murdered, and get shot with multiple arrows, and Yuna "patched him up", giving him the most basic first aid even for the time period. So you've got a guy on his last leg, running purely on willpower and the need to avenge his people against a well-rested leader of an entire invading force. No way you were ever going to win.
I mean, no wonder the game directors became permanent ambassadors on the isle of Tsushima. This game is nothing but a masterpiece! I hope I can visit it soon.
I love how this guy loves aesthetics and knows his stuff, I want him to react to Max Payne 3 pls} Edit: and he named dropped Kurosawa, can I give 1000 likes from one account? lol
For anyone who doesn't have Ghost Of Tsushima, there's a multiplayer standalone version available on the Playstation 4 for free until the end of March.
@@williamErouse It’s being directed by Chad Stahelski who made John Wick, they got the game writers also working on it. It’s on the planning phase really but when I spoke to Jin’s actor he said that he’s been working out in case he gets asked to play in the movie. Which I do hope is happening. But seeing Ryuzo actor’s twitter, he’s been hinted that he was asked to be in the movie.
I would actually love to see his reaction to the mission 'The Ghost of Yarikawa', especially yk the part, the Ghost Stance reveal. One of the most epic moments in gaming history I've ever experienced.
would like to see him come back after he's finished the game and talk about some key scenes from later gameplay ( you know, the betrayal, the ghost, the finale) as well as his thoughts about the kurosawa filter :) ... please? :D
Ghost of Tsushima is a Masterpiece in story, presentation and gameplay. wished they showed a bit of the black and white mode. thats a whole other level in the art departement.
I love that he talks about how important the code is then says “follow the code and you’ll be straight” And then the whole game is about breaking the samurai code. Like the whole game.
Would be cool to see him react to death stranding cause kojima wants to make movies so would be neat to hear his professional opinion on hideo kojimas video game work
The falling leaves while they were talking about the samurai code symbolizes the fall of it... Because throughout the game, you are show that doing the samurai code would do more harm than good.
guy is gonna shit himself when he finds out you can play it in kurosawa mode LOL but the battle against Lord Shimura / were you grant his wish is the best part
Would've liked to see hime react to a section thats in the kurosawa (pardon me if i misspelled his name completely) mode where its just in black and white with Japanese actors. But good vid.
I wanna see this dudes reaction to the opening title scene when you’re riding your horse through the yellow flowers So bummed it wasn’t in this vid lol Maybe next time
I got this game a few days ago bc it was 33 percent off with psplus. One of the best decisions I have made in buying a game, sometimes I forget I'm playing a game and get lost in the open world
The fact that he mentioned Kurosawa's influence in the game's cinematography proves the guy knows the craft.
I appreciate the love!
@@williamErouse did they show you the filter you can have on while playing the game?
@@williamErouse I hope you started playing the game, you're going to stop and take a screen every 5-10 minutes for how gorgeous this game is
@@Aaron3020x Haha you're probably right! I'll never finish it at that pace haha. I can't believe how right they got this one. Gonna start playing and streaming it soon.
@@hellboundspectre They didn't bro, just learned about it from the comments haha!
Ghost Of Tsushima will always be remembered as a legendary game. I still play the multiplayer to this day because I've completed Jin's journey 100%.
It will also be remembered for getting robbed of game of the year
@@cam3686 True. It got the player's voice award so that means the majority wanted Ghost Of Tsushima to take it. I hope the sequel gets it in the future.
@@cam3686 yeah it got like 40-50% of players and TLOU2 (the one who won) got like 10ish or even less than 10%
As awesome as GoT was, I think Nioh 2 or the last of us 2 were easily better games. But tlou2 story sucked and GoT has a much more like epic movie feel than Nioh 2. There was also doom and cyberpunk
@@tomasdelcampo2 Ok first Cyberpunk? Are you joking? Secondly last of us was a good game but compared to Ghost of Tsushima last of us is way below
This game was made to not only be a videogame, but also be a piece of art and be enjoyed in every way possible
I agree it's so good!
I actually have the ending song on my playlist lol. It's just so emotional and great
Its one of those game that will left an emotional thing on you and what ifs after completing the game.
Alright, this guy IS an expert. Catching the Kurosawa homages is easy. Knowing about what kind of cameras Kurosawa would have used and why that makes his camerawork so notable for his time takes actual study.
I appreciate the love! Hope all is well!
Krosawa’s work is still taught / studied in film school - much like DaVinci’s work is still studied in art school.
watching this made me realize how beautiful this world really was
I couldn't believe how incredible it was!
@@williamErouse Imagine if they made a sequel that'll take place in Japan
@@lellamadaw1721 not everything has to be Japan
@@Koldyuki what?
@@jamesfranko1568 nah people just push Japan and anime into everything
9:25
Speaking of Kurosawa, they actually put a Kurosawa mode in game to make it actually look like a Kurosawa film from back in the day
God dam it now you’re making me wanna get a PlayStation just to play this. Why can’t they put it on pc :(
@@Johnnysmithy24 PC literally has so many options and exclusive games. Buy a playstation.
@@problematic_canik Kind of a contradictory comment
@@Johnnysmithy24 you should buy a PlayStation, not just for GoT but my god I wouldn’t blame you if you did just for GoT.

I was so ready for the martial artists to talk about Sifu and it still hasn’t happened yet, they must be busy. 😕
For real
Maybe Noah and Gemma, or Yoshi and Gemma? It’s been a minute for any of them hasn’t it?
They're stuntmen, so they're probably working on a project atm
@@dozer11 Noah and Gemma haven't appeared together for a very long time. I wonder if something happened.
Seriously! I‘be been expecting that episode forever
I was hopping you’d show him when Jin unsheathed his katana and the moonlight reflects from the blade to his eyes. Every time I see that I get goosebumps 😮💨
william is definitely one of my favorite guests he always has very interesting stuff to say and really appreciates everything about the games
Quan thanks I really appreciate you!
I played this game with no expectations and it blew my mind completely. It's not a game, it's pure art.
I can assure you it is a game
8:20 I think this shot symbolises something like the antagonists having a fort and army behind him versus the protagonist, a lone samurai
crossing the threshold ..
I'm 330 hours in the single player campaign as of 2021. 4 full playthrough . One level up each run.
I thought I knew how to play this game. I thought I was a master samurai... until playing the hardest difficulty, with new game plus.
I thought wrong. Lol. I'm getting my ass kicked.
I love this game.
You need to master the swordsman to master this game. I already did
@@bobono I did. Twice lol.
@@Nobodysurvivesevenonebit I thought I did ..lol
And to say the "Code of the Samurai" is an important plot element is very accurate.
Holy crap dude, I had to switch my game to easy while fighting the eagle.
AND I WAS PLAYING ON NORMAL.
you should have shown the title card reveal, that was one of the best moments in the game
I got so sad when they didn’t
Welcome back!!! I’m glad he was able to come back. I still love how he looks at things from a filmmaker point of view. It makes me appreciate alot of games more.
Definitely enjoy this guy's presence. He's got a ton of passion and it makes you want to be there with him. Glad he's back.
Thanks so much for the love! I honestly fell in love with video games again after doing this series. Hope all is well!
@@dalem8878 I appreciate it Dale! Means a lot and hope all is well with you!
Facts Plus Tax!!!

Ayyyy! I appreciate that and glad I have a twin out there that's likeminded! Hope all is well!
We gotta get this dude on almost as much as the spec ops guys he's so cool
Thanks Kane! I appreciate it!
So freaking awesome to hear all this from his perspective! Show him the Kurosawa mode!!!
The fact that he foreshadowed the story based on what he was seeing in each scene shows you how good he is and how good the devs are of this game.
This just made me want to play through the game again. It truly is a masterpiece.
Agreed, I've played through it so many times.
I'm so hyped to play it
@@williamErouse It's GOOD
for sure, a bit of a childish story but the rest is amazing. One of the greatest game worlds ever built :)
@@Maaden84 childish? Lol
Watching this gave me chills. Ghost of Tsushima is a masterpiece of a game!

Might wanna put up a spoiler warning
Thx mate just ruined my first play through well done
@@josiplasic1742 no problem

@William Rouse @A_Derpy_Doggo yes yes and yes! Hope it happens!
Awesome video, thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish!
i love this dude man he’s so cool!
Thank you a ton and hope all is well with you!
This is just one of the most beautiful games I've played. I'm a old school movie lover, and this game hit that itch.

I love him, pls show more of him :)
I'm glad he realized the tones referencing kurosawa's work because that is the main inspiration for this game.
I hope this video has a part 2 with William reacting to more ghost of Tsushima and talking about it, the video was amazing!
I love how this guy loves aesthetics and knows his stuff, I want him to react to Max Payne 3 pls}
Edit: and he named dropped Kurosawa, can I give 1000 likes from one account? lol
Yeah Maxpayne 3 would be amazing. Just like How Ghost is like a samuri game. MaxPayne 3 is like an action movie.
Im with you on this one Max Payne 3 is nice
Just proves that this game can be as fun as movie
Still waiting for him to react to Spec Ops: The Line though
oh god... my PTSD...
@@Revoltine Joseph Konrad: Do you feel like a hero yet?
I truly do hope he would react to the cutscenes of the game its just a masterpiece
We were also all waiting for this!
It's so good to see filmmakers reacting to this game. Playing it is like playing a Kurosawa movie. The devs absolutely earned the name Kurosawa mode.
I like watching his videos. He’s so in love with film making, and teaching film making…I don’t know if he teaches yet but, he should.
For anyone who doesn't have Ghost Of Tsushima, there's a multiplayer standalone version available on the Playstation 4 for free until the end of March.
That Katana scene is badass
this guys excellent, you can see the love he has for his craft
The way the Khan threw the alcohol at the guy then lights him up on fire is so badass.
1 dislike for not let him react to game intro with the horse ride in tall grass
I just can’t wait for the movie. Talking with Jin Sakai at a convention, I hope he Get’s picked up.
Whaaaa theres a movie coming out?!?!

I love this guys reactions 💯
The artistic/cinematic side of this game is truly exceptional.
Wished we got a reaction to the title card but still a great video.
I would like to see his reaction to GTA 5's cinematics. It's a 2013 game but the cinematography is insane
That’s one of my faves!
This game is so pretty. I have about 10 gigs of photo mode shots on my external from this game alone.
As a indie dev I am learning a lot in this video alone
I will always love this game so much
It was the only game which i preferred to search evey corner of map without using horse! I was running and enjoying beautiful scenes.
I haven't played it yet, but I do know that the game is based on the Mongol invasions that happened in Japan many, many centuries ago. Fun fact.
MASTERPIECE in all forms of Art❕
I still love this game so much. Can't thank you enough Sucker Punch 🙏
This game got me into Akira Kurosawa
Fun fact: the same director who’s directed the John Wick movies is directing a Ghost of Tsushima film
Dope! I had no idea!
As someone who want to peruse film and someone who loves Ghost of Tsushima I want to thank u guys for this vid!
Thank you for watching Evan! Pursue it all the way and reach out if you ever have any questions
@@williamErouse 👍
Ghost of Tsushima is a Masterpiece in story, presentation and gameplay. wished they showed a bit of the black and white mode. thats a whole other level in the art departement.
For me the story was kinda silly, the rest was amazing
You should show him how the game looks in Kurosawa Mode. He would totally geek out over that.
This guy is good, more of him please
Thank you Petir!
This game also impressed filmaker. Let that sink in for a moment.
alot of games have done that, if its well made, its well made
This is where the fun begins 🙏🏽 💪
This guy rocks. Good to have him back.
Thank you so much!
Bruh, he ended reacting right before the best part of the intro
The fact there is a movie about this is wild
I love that he talks about how important the code is then says “follow the code and you’ll be straight”
And then the whole game is about breaking the samurai code. Like the whole game.
AHHHHHH! You should have shown him the title drop scene!
It's a really beautiful game, I hope you get to play it! I need to replay it again soon.......
you guys should definitely get him to react to MGSV cutscenes, especially intense ones like the first Skulls encounter or Emmerich's trial.
Would be cool to see him react to death stranding cause kojima wants to make movies so would be neat to hear his professional opinion on hideo kojimas video game work
The man recognizes Kurosawa cinema and you're not even going to show him the Kurosawa mode, someone let him knw about it!
I just found out in the comments haha! going crazy!
@William Rouse it’s a treat of a tribute! Enjoy!! And thanks!
cinnamontography man! whoo!!
Should have shown him the opening title sequence.
I kind of wish there more choices or consequences like maybe the potential to “say full honorable to the code” but I love Jin giving into savagery
The falling leaves while they were talking about the samurai code symbolizes the fall of it... Because throughout the game, you are show that doing the samurai code would do more harm than good.
Amazing insight!!! So much subtext and meaning behind that! Thank you for sharing
I like the way he explain
guy is gonna shit himself when he finds out you can play it in kurosawa mode LOL but the battle against Lord Shimura / were you grant his wish is the best part
Ikr
hahaha I probably would have had I known! I just found out reading the comments! hahaha
I wonder if he saw it in the Kirasawa mode where it's black and white?
Would've liked to see hime react to a section thats in the kurosawa (pardon me if i misspelled his name completely) mode where its just in black and white with Japanese actors. But good vid.
Definitely have to show him kurosawa mode and a duel in a field or something
Wish we could have seen him react to the title card scene and the kurosawa mode!
He really gives a lot of explanation, and I like it 😀
Thanks Jacob! Doing my best!
@@williamErouse Oh Hello there!
Missed the opportunity to show him the kurosawa mode
I wanna see this dudes reaction to the opening title scene when you’re riding your horse through the yellow flowers
So bummed it wasn’t in this vid lol
Maybe next time
I dove into samurai and Japanese culture when I played this game before I just thought samurai were Chinese ninja 😭
I would have LOVED to hear his comments about the game's last scenes...
We need that SIFU reaction. Love this vid too tho.
Once again, really appreciate William's input.
Also, I'd love to experience GoT one day.
Thank you so much!
I got this game a few days ago bc it was 33 percent off with psplus. One of the best decisions I have made in buying a game, sometimes I forget I'm playing a game and get lost in the open world
I’d love to see him react to the Kurosawa mode in ghost of Tsushima
I still love this game so much
"If you run the code you gon be straight". Damn. Jin did not run the code lmao
Please show this man the photo mode!!!
My fav game of all time
I am not gonna play the third act. i don't want this to end.
