Once again, thanks again for the Ghost of Tsushima speedrunning community to come out at full force for this event and for GDQ to host it! Was a ton of fun being part of this!❤
Do you think activity on NG categories would go up if a Speedrun Mode of sorts was introduced, that gave NG saves all the QoL touches of NG+, like Cutscene skips, and maybe some timing aids like a final and per act run-time at credits and act breaks? Or would NG+ still appeal too much for it to drum up activity?
@@syrelian Oh, I definately think interest in NG runs would spike with all the things you suggested (or even just a couple). Well, "spike" would be a mouthful, but at least be on par to NG+. Biggest problem I see that is holding NG back is that you have watch all the cutscenes everytime. The major draw of the game, I think, is the sword play and you get about none of that during NG+. But you get a whole lot in NG. Then again, maybe we will introduce a NG+ Sword Only category or something along those lines, who knows?😁
When they talked about how the Ninja tools got in the way of the swordplay. The answer Sucker Punch should've done was a mode called Way of the Samurai where you swear to stay by the Samurai way. Counters the story entirely but would be a cool New Game plus option
This game on ps5 is absolutely gorgeous. 4K, 60fps, zero loading times and in my play through I never saw a glitch. This is probably one of my favorite games of all time.
sucker punch is AWESOME they are incredible developers, top notch top tier and this run was AMAZING ! Glad to see the strategies i thought of on my own are essentialyl what is used (the fear thing is so strong) though i always preferred the poison on the chimes to get that aoe poison and stay silent, of course that's just not very fast :P
Having taken Japanese in hs, I honestly can’t deal with the English voice acting. English speakers mispronouncing Japanese names and such is my no.1 pet peeve, and on top of that, there is so much lost in translation that I just can’t… my apologies to the English VAs who obviously did their best, lol.

I’m just sorry I missed the live showing. This is one of my personal favorite games to have come out in the last few years. So thanks for sharing!

TBH, I was a little shocked when the game turned out to be more of a ninja game than a samurai game...😅

Apparently alot hinges on the doors
