@@holo1560 Eh I haven't played most of the AC series in a long time, but I can say I genuinely enjoy playing Odyssey. In fact, I don't even know why they made it a part of the series, other than it keeps to the " These people were great assassins " subplot, Odyssey never feels like an AC game. If you haven't played it, I recommend you do.
@@butcanyoudothis3320 Like I said, it shouldn't be called AC, they'd have so much more creative freedom if they did their own thing, AC is like a crutch now, the series isn't what it used to be and if you haven't you should play the earlier ones, you'll see why Odyssey is among the 3 worst AC games.
Have played all the AC games and Odyssey and 2 are my favorites. I know Odyssey is different but with the setting and being like a Spartan was bad ass. Just know that it's more action rpg and not as stealthy and can get repetitive.
Which is why I absolutely love Sony's first party titles. They care about quality and value rather than money making th rough whatever means necessary. Some of their games have DLC but they are usually of high quality like HZD frozen wilds.
I'm Mongolian and I like this game. Appreciated that they made Mongolian models and voice close to be accurate. It feels bad I will slaughter my virtual relatives.

I am Japanese and I am very inspired when I played this game. It reminded me of honor and nationalism we had which we seldom think about today.

Tacitus Kilgore very true. However I think this close to release you can almost entirely bet on the core mechanics being set. Which those mechanics for the last few AC games have just been rinse and release. Maybe it’s just bias showing for this game, but it’s a breath of fresh air and something the AC games could learn from.
Ubisoft may as well not even try to make one now, if they were planning on ever doing one in the future. It’ll just get constantly compared to this game, and it won’t be able to live up to this game at all. Ubisoft just doesn’t know how to make open world games like this. Assassin’s Creed Origins is the only one they managed to do well.
@@uome20bukz the series has gone to shit anyways so it won't matter even if they don't make one..... It isn't assassin's creed anymore, like Odessy had superpowers for god sakes 😂
You didn't touch on it, but the weather is really incredible. After finding all of the crickets you can use your flute to play different songs to aid in battle. You can add fog, bring rain, or a thunderstorm. Or you could clear the skies and make everything lush and beautifully swept in color and vibrancy. I loved that touch.
Same experience in Dragon's Dogma way back on PS3. There was even an area where gusts of winds were so strong it would blow your character back. Another cool thing was you had to bring out your lantern at night because of how dark it was. And you had to because enemies at night were more lethal than the ones during the day, with exceptions of giant ones. Sorry, but such cool systems in that game.
I went from being midly interested in this game to being unbelievably hyped in the space of one month. Preordered it last week and have been waiting eagerly ever since. The combat just looks too good.
@@hcaz5818 Me. After playing Sekiro, I doubt I'll enjoy the combat just as much. The stealth looks like the basic stealth you'd find in Assassin's Creed. The open world looks cool enough. If it has a good story and side quests, I'll buy it.
I haven't seen any type of limb severing so far, if there isn't any in the game I'll be disappointed, since I'm sure I saw it in a trailer before. Combat still looks really good though.
I love these wive-swap projects like when JPN developers borrow Western inspired elements to create games like dark souls. And now we have this masterfully crafted game from a western developer! The JPN audience must be impressed and proud.
In my experience, I think we often find the cultures and histories of others more interesting because they are so unfamiliar. Most friends I have made from Japan do not understand why I find their history/culture so interesting (but are happy I do) and I don't often see why they find Western things so interesting either. Regardless, I think it is a positive thing, the more we embrace and share our cultures the more likely it will be that they will remain as we continue in a world that keeps getting smaller and smaller.
@@thehat2032 maybe is a "grass looks greener on the other side" thing. People don't give too much value to the things they're used to and a foreign culture seems more intriguing than their own. (Btw I also love japanese culture)
@@DantesInferno96 Its just a saying, there was a terrible Western show before where someone would go and live with a different family. More or less just to become familiar with the way a different family lives. In this sense the post is just using it to mean swapping something personal, cultures making games admiring eachothers cultures.
right there with you, i heard a reviewer describe it as the witcher meets assassins creed and all i could think was "more like Tenchu". So hyped for this game, can't wait to get my hands on it :)
Based on Japanese history, the stages of the game are based on famous battle which actually took place in ancient Japan. ....So here's this giant enemy crab.
You think this is a joke ?! My great great great great great great great great grandfathers friends father's kyodai fought against that crab and lost a testicles!!
Agreed! I've played every main AC game except for Odyssey and this looks like the next step forward if Ubisoft kept on the path that they were on in AC3 and Unity. Oh well.
@@blessanabey8386 There are some folks who I think complained on this game being similar too Assassin's Creed. LMAO, I say Assassin's Creed isn't even similar to Assassin's Creed anymore. That being said, I'm curious to Valhalla and I'll try playing it.
I love how SkillUp notes how a lock on system would’ve been detrimental to the combat but Yong said he would’ve preferred it. Goes to show how even some of my most trusted reviewers can have their own subjective opinions
Makes you realize that one man's negative is another's positive. So the best bet is to use their opinions as guides but really try to enjoy the game on your by your own standards and levels of enjoyment. But I figure I'm preaching to the choir here. 😅
I've played for a few hours now, and I'm just so enthralled by this game... I knew next to nothing about it going in, and I love it. The gameplay is fun to master, the graphics and map design are just BREATHTAKING, and the story has enough oomph and pizzazz to compliment all of that very nicely. Because I knew nothing about the game before I bought it, I wasn't too interested. I really bought it on a whim, and it has been a pleasant surprise so far! It's just refreshing to have a samurai game without any outlandish monsters to fight and such. Don't get me wrong, I like those games too. Just nice to have a good ol' fashioned samurai game, y'know?
TW3 is not complex... you can play that game as a hack'n'slash as well... it's just that it's easier once you embrace the sigils, and the progressions.
Lol saying it's combat is more complex than TW3 is like saying it's more complex then LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean. I beat TW3 on the hardest difficulty just spamming that ability that makes me eat a single attack at no damage regardless of how powerful. All it takes is either patience or trying a little harder and using poison on everything.
This game has looked incredible and GOTY worthy through everything i've seen, it's definitely my most anticipated game of the year, i cannot wait until the 17th to finally be able to play this.
Mmm... No not really. Shinobi were not assassins. They deliberately avoided combat as much as possible. Most shinobi were also samurai, and shinobi were not viewed as "dishonorable" by the Japanese public.
Unsure where you got most of these things from. Actually, many shinobi (not all) were assassins. They did avoid combat, but there are documented cases of shinobi sharpshooters and poison experts attempting the lives of notable figures. Also, most shinobi were not samurai. They were majorly trained from the common caste. The part about the Japanese public is true, but they were viewed as dishonorable by Samurai ruling class.
Fun fact: Samurai romanticism started in the Edo period. 300 years of peace time, samurai really got nothing to do but train and master other non-combat arts. The game is set during the Kamakura period, non-samurai tactics shouldn't be a big deal.
I feel most of the negatives in gameplay that you pointed are minor adjustments they could fix in a month or two if they released a demo and got the feed back from the players. Hope they can retouch it even after release since it would make it from what it seems great game to a amazing one.
Some might be even wanted, like the right timing to press buttons and not just smash as fast as you can (like arcade fighting games to complete combos) or not having lockon making it more difficult. It might destroy the flow of the fight when your not good / experienced enough at first, but when you get good and place yourserlf correctly you feel like you accomplished something and you have a way to get better. I am already stoked for the amazing cinematic short movies that will come out with this game.
The patches have really ironed out the game, haven't experienced many of the bugs mentioned in the video so far. There are a few for sure, but if you have played Witcher 3 on PS4, this is far more polished than that atm
The "way of the samurai" series was my favorite. A hugely underappreciated game, and while it didnt have the best graphics, it did have a fun story and the swordplay was great (especially in the 4th game). Now i can't wait to play Ghost of Tsushima
Way of the samurai 4 had so many fighting styles like legit it was crazy, and like 12 endings. It was a game you could replay and replay. Like the game is very short and it's meant to be replayed. It's also super cool, like the first playthrough you're weak and by the next one you're a bit stronger. Then the third one you're basically an OP samurai this is due to upgrading weapons which carry through playthroughs. Also you unlock costumes and outfits for your samurai when you do certain side quests or when you get specific endings. It was also pretty funny to pick a side then mid story decide to literally attack everyone. Also getting one of the true endings made you unlock a gun. And the Engrish from the British soldiers was hilarious. Way of the samurai 3 was also an awesome game but the tone was much more series. But unlike 4 in 3 you could switch to a non lethal fighting stance and also beat up every single character in the story at almost anytime you see them
One of my most anticipated games in years not just this year go back a few years and what games where better as of what u won’t in a game I been anticipating this games since it was announced fuck this year this is one of my most anticipated games ever period
I've been joking since it was announced that Suckerpunch must have got sick of waiting for Ubisoft to make an assassins creed set in japan and decided to do their own take on it.
Forgetting just the setting, they seem to be doing what assassin's creed was and should be doing, being a historical open world action adventure game with cinematic storytelling and gameplay with an immersive world and mechanics, not this RPG stuff they're doing now. As a huge AC fan, I've preordered this.
AAA Loot Shooters: "Here's an avalanche of gear, most of which is crap. You'll need to grind for the good stuff." Ghosts of Tsushima: "You will find all the gear by playing, though you need a few playthroughs to get it all." Players: "Uh-" Ghosts of Tsushima: "You can also upgrade and customize your gear in crazy detail." Players: "I'lL tAkE yOuR eNtIrE sToCk!"
bro i've been waiting for a new way of the samurai, i remember i grinded the shit out of part 4 a few years ago to get the legendary ending. such a good game even though the graphics weren't great
Just be careful about setting your hopes up. If Naughty Dog taught/reminded us of anything, there is a possibility of a developer making a disappointing game.
This game is a masterpiece, from the visual art, music and fighting style mechanics to the gear selection options you can get so that you can improve your choice of fighting style. Love this game.
After Playing, And Completing Sekiro, I Fell In Love With Feudal Era Japan, And It’s Mythological Lore. Getting To Fountainhead Palace Was Most Certainly A Treat, And Beautiful Aesthetically.
I highly recommend Nioh1 and 2, it covers lore though out the entirety of Japan during the Sengoku era, as well as thousands of years of myths. It's the one soulslike with the deepest lore, even when compared to Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Every single character including the main character are historical characters, every location and weapon are drawn from real history, geography and myth. It also has the deepest combat mechanics of all soulslike games as well as sheer variety in set building.
@@belisarius6949 The Sengoku Jidai refers to a certain timeframe in Feudal Japan. It's the time from 1467 to 1615. The time of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomo Hideyoshi and Takeda Shingen.
@deadeye445 How is it not bullshit? I hate it when enemies become bullet sponges or they have to be assassinated multiple times just because they are a higher level.
This is the review I was hoping for. I was hesitant to be hyped about this game, but now I am looking forward to it after watching this. Thank you YongYea, you do fantastic work, as always.
Yes sir. When From began teasing Sekiro, I was hoping so much that they were bringing Tenchu back. But alas, it was practically another Souls game. Ghost of Tsushima has really filled that void that was left by the departure of Tenchu.
pxgq55a It feels like a love letter to both Tenchu and Ninja Gaiden.. I was so impressed by the early footage I decided to preorder when it was originally shown
"Does hovering and rotating like this make my butt armor look fat to you?" Not gonna lie... The last thing he sees before heading to the afterlife sure is something interesting to talk about tho. lol.
I got spoiled because of some scenes he shows. Feels bad cuz I'm halfway into the game and some important resolution between two chatacters was shown right away :( I'm stupid for looking after reviews of the game I'm playing, but I just really wanted to see his opinion on the game
This is exactly what I expect from Video Game Journalism! A fully fleshed out review with it's main emphasis on the most important pieces a game consists of. Thank you for sharing your experience and for taking the time and effort in creating this review. It's so nice to see, that the Industry always has another Ace up their sleeves to release when we thought that we've seen it all. To many more years of great gaming adventures!
The Handful of weapons, armors, and dyeing of clothes remindes me of the Two to Revelatins era of Assassins Creed games. The wind compass and golden bird mechanics are amazing. I love stuff like that, which uses the game world instead of HUD elements like you said. I will definitely be picking this game up.
What was the point if you cant play it? I dont get this preorder culture at all, I know im old lol but i feel like thats admitting "Hey im part of the problem with gamers"
phutureproof there a often times pre order bonuses but if I had to answer for myself. A pre order shows your faith in a game. It doesn’t offer much other than your core faith and passion for a game to be successful. I only pre order a game if I have a strong feeling I will love the game but I only pre order special editions which is the biggest reason to pre order games in my opinion because sometimes the special editions sell out and become hard to get after launch. I almost missed out on the special edition of ghost of Tsushima but I somehow snagged a copy from Walmart.
the gaming industry is so repetitive that I get shocked when I see a genuinely unique and original game that's innovating. EDIT: maybe innovation is not a good way to describe this game I get it, I said that since the combat seemed more complicated and unique to me than it actually is.
there's nothing unique or innovating about this title. half life alyx and boneworks are innovating. this is not lmao. same shit just different coat of paint
I love AJ for his humor and skits during his reviews but for a truly artistic, detailed and extremely deep dive into a game as far as reviews go you are my guy for now on!
The writing is amazing! I love how they manage to paint broad human complexities as characters wrestle with their sense of morality. All of them are flawed, self contradictory, and hypocritical at times, and at the same time the narrative does not force us to render judgement on their motives. Every quests takes my personal moral opinions for a spin. This is how you write compelling stories.
IGN's written review is vastly more detailed and gets deeper into flaws and strengths. Their video reviews never exceed 12 minutes, and rarely exceed 8.
@@xOogieBoogie3x It's BECAUSE they're always trying to stay within that time limitation that they seldom get a great picture of a game across when the review itself isn't outright bad. You've got things twisted if you think shorter means better in this aspect. You could easily miss out on things while trying to be clear and concise. That said, I don't find any part of the information spoken in this review to be irrelevant. I'd rather have this methodical 25 minute format that covers all these aspects than the other side but to each his own.
Your reviews are incredibly detailed and have a great flow and structure. They have a film makers edge to them in how you creatively edit moments and transition! In comparison to some you tubers who seem to be getting lazy in some regards, your reviews are quickly becoming the best on TH-cam 👍
the combat in yakuza is absolute trash lmao you will like you are playing a ps2 game or something its so basic, tap tap tap tap tap tap tap, thats all it is, garbage.
@@mrRandomvideos1 It's a beat'em up... A button masher... Of course, it's all "tap tap tap" do you want an award for pointing out the obvious? Lmao, you really thought you had someone here huh.
I was thinking about that but at least sub stories had good camera angles, these look like ugly unfinished wide shots. game still looks hype as hell tho
@@mrRandomvideos1 Uhh...Yakuza is a beat em up... The combat isn't gonna be that deep. Lol Also, just cause you don't like it, or because it's button mashing don't mean it's bad. There's a reason people like fighting in Yakuza.
NadineLuvs I wouldn’t say never a lot of ps exclusives have been coming to pc such as Detroit, Death Stranding and horizon Zero Dawn so it might at some point as well
This game took over my weekend. I absolutely love it! I was really impressed that the game rarely forces you into a specific approach, so you can decide whether you want to be stealthy, or loud. I also loved how when you first use "dishonourable" tools and tactics, you sometimes get Jin reflecting on how his behaviour is unbecoming of a Samurai. I know everyone has compared this to Assassin's Creed, but I think it's more like Tenchu.
The game looks beautiful, Ubisoft is doing a bad thing if they still want to release Assassin's Creed: Valhalla this year. First Ghost of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077 later.
@@DrMoxmoReadings, to be fair, they didn't do this on purpose, Cyberpunk was pushed out twice, which ended up landing them on that day. I'm still not buying anything from Ubisoft until they change as a company.
The title says it all. For me, it's easily one of my favorite games of 2020 and I'd even say a strong contender for game of the year.

You didn't touch on it, but the weather is really incredible. After finding all of the crickets you can use your flute to play different songs to aid in battle. You can add fog, bring rain, or a thunderstorm. Or you could clear the skies and make everything lush and beautifully swept in color and vibrancy. I loved that touch.
What?!! You can?? I use the flute to clear the skies when I want sun but I thought that was it lol and I’ve platinumed this game 😂😂

I love how the blowing wind bends the trees. Witcher 3 made me appreciate details like this, sadly not many games has this.
Same experience in Dragon's Dogma way back on PS3. There was even an area where gusts of winds were so strong it would blow your character back. Another cool thing was you had to bring out your lantern at night because of how dark it was. And you had to because enemies at night were more lethal than the ones during the day, with exceptions of giant ones.
Sorry, but such cool systems in that game.

I went from being midly interested in this game to being unbelievably hyped in the space of one month. Preordered it last week and have been waiting eagerly ever since. The combat just looks too good.
Not sure how someone could be only mildly interested in this
The Realism Is Wonderful!!
@@hcaz5818 Me. After playing Sekiro, I doubt I'll enjoy the combat just as much. The stealth looks like the basic stealth you'd find in Assassin's Creed. The open world looks cool enough. If it has a good story and side quests, I'll buy it.
@@cromperer very different games
I haven't seen any type of limb severing so far, if there isn't any in the game I'll be disappointed, since I'm sure I saw it in a trailer before. Combat still looks really good though.
there is none of these ac rpg "the enemy is higher level bullcrap" to diminish the effect of careful planned assassination.
.
I love it 🤣🤣🤣
I love these wive-swap projects like when JPN developers borrow Western inspired elements to create games like dark souls. And now we have this masterfully crafted game from a western developer! The JPN audience must be impressed and proud.
In my experience, I think we often find the cultures and histories of others more interesting because they are so unfamiliar. Most friends I have made from Japan do not understand why I find their history/culture so interesting (but are happy I do) and I don't often see why they find Western things so interesting either. Regardless, I think it is a positive thing, the more we embrace and share our cultures the more likely it will be that they will remain as we continue in a world that keeps getting smaller and smaller.
@@thehat2032 maybe is a "grass looks greener on the other side" thing. People don't give too much value to the things they're used to and a foreign culture seems more intriguing than their own. (Btw I also love japanese culture)
What is wive-swap?
@@DantesInferno96 Its just a saying, there was a terrible Western show before where someone would go and live with a different family. More or less just to become familiar with the way a different family lives. In this sense the post is just using it to mean swapping something personal, cultures making games admiring eachothers cultures.
For real
This looks like a modern reboot of Tenchu: Stealth Assassins. And I mean that in a good way

Yea this is the closest we will get to Tenchu. Now we have Samurai game, and I hope we will get Ninja game.

Yup, they even had different opinions about the story... YongYea loved it while Skill Up thought it was ok lol either way I'm very excited for this!!!
Makes you realize that one man's negative is another's positive. So the best bet is to use their opinions as guides but really try to enjoy the game on your by your own standards and levels of enjoyment. But I figure I'm preaching to the choir here. 😅
Its kinda the point of an opinion lol
Opinions are always subjective, that's why is called opinion.
Yeah even their ac valhalla take was quite different which is a good thing generally
Here in Italy they are dishing out a lot of 7.5-8s. Never trusted'em and never will.
I think this game will be amazing and I will be the judge of it
Facts
@@infinitexp420 indeed man. This is going to be epic!
Judging by Italys choice of leaders, bad taste seems to be common there.
Umm, isn't a 7and 8 still a good score though? I don't see the problem.
There seems to be people who have a problem with the story and the A.I. is not very good making stealth easy and a lot of weapons are overpowered.
I've played for a few hours now, and I'm just so enthralled by this game... I knew next to nothing about it going in, and I love it. The gameplay is fun to master, the graphics and map design are just BREATHTAKING, and the story has enough oomph and pizzazz to compliment all of that very nicely. Because I knew nothing about the game before I bought it, I wasn't too interested. I really bought it on a whim, and it has been a pleasant surprise so far! It's just refreshing to have a samurai game without any outlandish monsters to fight and such. Don't get me wrong, I like those games too. Just nice to have a good ol' fashioned samurai game, y'know?
I just beat it great treat at the end definitely best game of 2020
I'm impressed how sophisticated and fluent the combat looks. Nothing like AC: Vallhalla and more complex that TW3, tho I liked it there.
TW3 is not complex... you can play that game as a hack'n'slash as well... it's just that it's easier once you embrace the sigils, and the progressions.
Quen simulator on harder difficulties
AC Valhalla's combat looks janky af.
Lol saying it's combat is more complex than TW3 is like saying it's more complex then LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean. I beat TW3 on the hardest difficulty just spamming that ability that makes me eat a single attack at no damage regardless of how powerful. All it takes is either patience or trying a little harder and using poison on everything.
Jos Shibu lol @that blood and wine boss fight
This game has looked incredible and GOTY worthy through everything i've seen, it's definitely my most anticipated game of the year, i cannot wait until the 17th to finally be able to play this.
"ghost" "thief" "dishonourable tactics" "from the shadows" You mean... like a NINJA? This is totally samurai vs ninja codes of conduct and morality.
Ninjas don't exist yet in the time the game takes place
@@omegathan or did they?
Dun dun duuuuuuuuun!
Mmm... No not really. Shinobi were not assassins. They deliberately avoided combat as much as possible. Most shinobi were also samurai, and shinobi were not viewed as "dishonorable" by the Japanese public.
Unsure where you got most of these things from.
Actually, many shinobi (not all) were assassins. They did avoid combat, but there are documented cases of shinobi sharpshooters and poison experts attempting the lives of notable figures.
Also, most shinobi were not samurai. They were majorly trained from the common caste.
The part about the Japanese public is true, but they were viewed as dishonorable by Samurai ruling class.
Fun fact: Samurai romanticism started in the Edo period. 300 years of peace time, samurai really got nothing to do but train and master other non-combat arts. The game is set during the Kamakura period, non-samurai tactics shouldn't be a big deal.
"It does Assassin's Creed better than Assassin's Creed" Exactly my thoughts
You mean it does history better then assassins creed

IG what ?
11 minutes is actually pretty big for an IGN review..............I just can't say how surprised i was when i saw that their review was 11 minutes....
I feel most of the negatives in gameplay that you pointed are minor adjustments they could fix in a month or two if they released a demo and got the feed back from the players. Hope they can retouch it even after release since it would make it from what it seems great game to a amazing one.
They said they are releasing a 10GB update on the 17 or 25 correct me if I'm wrong
Some might be even wanted, like the right timing to press buttons and not just smash as fast as you can (like arcade fighting games to complete combos) or not having lockon making it more difficult. It might destroy the flow of the fight when your not good / experienced enough at first, but when you get good and place yourserlf correctly you feel like you accomplished something and you have a way to get better. I am already stoked for the amazing cinematic short movies that will come out with this game.
The creative director at sucker punch says that they will accept criticism
The patches have really ironed out the game, haven't experienced many of the bugs mentioned in the video so far. There are a few for sure, but if you have played Witcher 3 on PS4, this is far more polished than that atm
Here from ACG's review. He also says it's a must buy. This is why we bought a PS4. The home of quality single player games
What a way to close off the PS4's life before 5 arrived with games like these. Can't wait to play it
The "way of the samurai" series was my favorite. A hugely underappreciated game, and while it didnt have the best graphics, it did have a fun story and the swordplay was great (especially in the 4th game). Now i can't wait to play Ghost of Tsushima
Way of the samurai 4 had so many fighting styles like legit it was crazy, and like 12 endings. It was a game you could replay and replay. Like the game is very short and it's meant to be replayed. It's also super cool, like the first playthrough you're weak and by the next one you're a bit stronger. Then the third one you're basically an OP samurai this is due to upgrading weapons which carry through playthroughs. Also you unlock costumes and outfits for your samurai when you do certain side quests or when you get specific endings. It was also pretty funny to pick a side then mid story decide to literally attack everyone. Also getting one of the true endings made you unlock a gun. And the Engrish from the British soldiers was hilarious. Way of the samurai 3 was also an awesome game but the tone was much more series. But unlike 4 in 3 you could switch to a non lethal fighting stance and also beat up every single character in the story at almost anytime you see them
gortta play more games!
@@weepingblade yeah, I like in the 4th game you had to complete certain endings in order to get the best ending

I've been joking since it was announced that Suckerpunch must have got sick of waiting for Ubisoft to make an assassins creed set in japan and decided to do their own take on it.
Forgetting just the setting, they seem to be doing what assassin's creed was and should be doing, being a historical open world action adventure game with cinematic storytelling and gameplay with an immersive world and mechanics, not this RPG stuff they're doing now.

After Playing, And Completing Sekiro, I Fell In Love With Feudal Era Japan, And It’s Mythological Lore.
Getting To Fountainhead Palace Was Most Certainly A Treat, And Beautiful Aesthetically.
I highly recommend Nioh1 and 2, it covers lore though out the entirety of Japan during the Sengoku era, as well as thousands of years of myths. It's the one soulslike with the deepest lore, even when compared to Dark Souls and Bloodborne. Every single character including the main character are historical characters, every location and weapon are drawn from real history, geography and myth. It also has the deepest combat mechanics of all soulslike games as well as sheer variety in set building.

phutureproof Being able to play at 12am on release without waiting for download some games do give early access/beta access
phutureproof there a often times pre order bonuses but if I had to answer for myself. A pre order shows your faith in a game. It doesn’t offer much other than your core faith and passion for a game to be successful. I only pre order a game if I have a strong feeling I will love the game but I only pre order special editions which is the biggest reason to pre order games in my opinion because sometimes the special editions sell out and become hard to get after launch. I almost missed out on the special edition of ghost of Tsushima but I somehow snagged a copy from Walmart.
the gaming industry is so repetitive that I get shocked when I see a genuinely unique and original game that's innovating.
EDIT: maybe innovation is not a good way to describe this game I get it, I said that since the combat seemed more complicated and unique to me than it actually is.
The IPs with annual releases can feel very repetitive.
To me it doesn’t look at all innovating? But I can’t wait, I’m so excited to play.
This as a gaming genre (open world, sandbox, rpg) is nothing unique but the setting (realistic/ grounded Feudal Japan) has just been under used
there's nothing unique or innovating about this title. half life alyx and boneworks are innovating. this is not lmao. same shit just different coat of paint

Because this isnt a ubisoft game lol
Because Ubisoft is lazy
I love AJ for his humor and skits during his reviews but for a truly artistic, detailed and extremely deep dive into a game as far as reviews go you are my guy for now on!
"I feel the game does Assassin's Creed better than Assassin's Creed".
Shots fired👉💥
Stop, please stop, he's already dead! 😭😭😭
23:35 that’s not ah bug that’s just Jin using his conduit powers 😂😂
We getting air powers în this game?
I wish Delson had the air power
It’s the power of his stand!
Thanks to said power, he killed himself. What a competent warrior lol
He assassinated that guy so hard he killed himself!
Cade Thumann 😭😭😭
The writing is amazing! I love how they manage to paint broad human complexities as characters wrestle with their sense of morality. All of them are flawed, self contradictory, and hypocritical at times, and at the same time the narrative does not force us to render judgement on their motives. Every quests takes my personal moral opinions for a spin. This is how you write compelling stories.
This review basically Ghost slaughters anything IGN did this year
@Iain Steele big facts specially ac
IGN's written review is vastly more detailed and gets deeper into flaws and strengths. Their video reviews never exceed 12 minutes, and rarely exceed 8.
@@xOogieBoogie3x It's BECAUSE they're always trying to stay within that time limitation that they seldom get a great picture of a game across when the review itself isn't outright bad. You've got things twisted if you think shorter means better in this aspect. You could easily miss out on things while trying to be clear and concise.
That said, I don't find any part of the information spoken in this review to be irrelevant. I'd rather have this methodical 25 minute format that covers all these aspects than the other side but to each his own.
Good to know mah boi sucker punch nailed it again, been with them since the sly cooper days and it makes me happy that they are still strong today.
I had fun with Infamous: Second Son too
@liquid sword Any possible next Infamous game could be anything. They ended Second Son quite open ended.
It really makes you FEEL like a Samurai in feudal Japan. Anyone who says otherwise is nitpicking, and biased. I win. Bye-bye!
2 memes in one.

Can't wait to pick up mine on release! Your review is way way way more professional than half-assed IGN
Your reviews are incredibly detailed and have a great flow and structure. They have a film makers edge to them in how you creatively edit moments and transition! In comparison to some you tubers who seem to be getting lazy in some regards, your reviews are quickly becoming the best on TH-cam 👍
22:27 that probably won’t bother me that much. The yakuza series has a lot of those sorts of things in the latter games. And I love that series.
ComicWriter 2020 ayyy I love the yakuza series as well
the combat in yakuza is absolute trash lmao you will like you are playing a ps2 game or something its so basic, tap tap tap tap tap tap tap, thats all it is, garbage.
@@mrRandomvideos1 It's a beat'em up... A button masher... Of course, it's all "tap tap tap" do you want an award for pointing out the obvious? Lmao, you really thought you had someone here huh.
I was thinking about that but at least sub stories had good camera angles, these look like ugly unfinished wide shots.
game still looks hype as hell tho
@@mrRandomvideos1 Uhh...Yakuza is a beat em up...
The combat isn't gonna be that deep. Lol
Also, just cause you don't like it, or because it's button mashing don't mean it's bad.
There's a reason people like fighting in Yakuza.
The reviews of ghost of tsushima have been great thus far, can't wait to pickup my copy
Yh except for gamespot
fan reviews or video game "journalists"?
@@shamz883 gamespot reviewers have been smoking too much crack
The BadderMan they gave that shit game an 8 🤣🤣🤣
What euro gamer gave!?
Man what an ending for playstation 4 exclusive.
NadineLuvs I wouldn’t say never a lot of ps exclusives have been coming to pc such as Detroit, Death Stranding and horizon Zero Dawn so it might at some point as well
@NadineLuvs To be fair the PS4 is cheaper than ever so it's no big loss to buy one and enjoy the exclusives.
@NadineLuvs Just get a Ps5. This game will transfer there for free.
@NadineLuvs Just pray that it will make its way to pc, unless you have only xbox then you are not gonna play it
@milou80 Lol. I think you just described Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu.
This game took over my weekend. I absolutely love it! I was really impressed that the game rarely forces you into a specific approach, so you can decide whether you want to be stealthy, or loud. I also loved how when you first use "dishonourable" tools and tactics, you sometimes get Jin reflecting on how his behaviour is unbecoming of a Samurai.
I know everyone has compared this to Assassin's Creed, but I think it's more like Tenchu.
The game looks beautiful, Ubisoft is doing a bad thing if they still want to release Assassin's Creed: Valhalla this year. First Ghost of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077 later.
Actually, the real stupidy is that they are releasing Valhalla only two days before Cyberpunk. They are clearly trying to get that thing smothered.
@@DrMoxmoReadings Fr that shit is beyond dumb
@@DrMoxmoReadings, to be fair, they didn't do this on purpose, Cyberpunk was pushed out twice, which ended up landing them on that day. I'm still not buying anything from Ubisoft until they change as a company.
Assassins creed will likely be delayed a week or two to avoid it, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if cyberpunk is delayed again either
