Another review I read said that you can't cut down the bamboo. That represents a massive laps of judgment that couldn't Not appear in the rest of the game. I'll buy it later when it's cheap or something I guess.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POFPMwhedS4 I usually agree with easy allies reviews and they are mostly positive on it, main complaints that stealth is too easy because the stealth AI is dumb and your tools are pretty OP, both of which don't bother me. Looking forward to playing on Fri

I'm going to pass on sushi. I've still got FF7, Judgment and Sekiro to finish (+ too many PSVR games).

It's probably a bad idea to play Tsushima immediately after Sekiro anyway, unless they absolutely nailed the combat

I’m looking forward to an intentionally slower and more deliberate swordplay than Sekiro. I love that game’s combat, but you have to be totally plugged in, sitting forward in your seat, your mind humming with the electric rhythm of GAMING, in order to perform. Sushi Ghost looks more like a game I can just sort of... play

I still haven't played H:ZD so I'll do that instead.

Ghost of Tsushima looks tepid and humdrum, i can't think of anything less exciting about videogames in 2020 than yet another third person open world game with icons on a map, its just dull

RBA Starblade posted:I'm starting to run out of games to play that DON'T involve war crimes This seems like a dumb pseudo-woke gripe from the reviewer considering Mongols hurled plague corpses into the walled cities of Cirmea when they were laying siege to them. One of the reasons lots of these European or Japanese cities got curbstomped is because they were operating under lots of outmoded conceptions of honor or fair play while the Mongols were like "lol". One of the things that was appealing about GoT was the protag realizing that approach to fighting the Mongols was stupid and suicidal.

Bad Parenting posted:main complaints that stealth is too easy because the stealth AI is dumb This is just a complaint that should be levelled at all games that feature stealth though, AI is always too stupid for it to be even worth featuring as gameplay. It's the same dumb, bullshit loop which you may have to switch up slightly for a different enemy. Pretty much all of them will forget about seeing you 30 seconds later though. Stealth sucks because having decent AI would make stealth virtually impossible meaning you'd be restarting levels constantly thus it's dumbed down and buttpoop in everything.

Only positive things to say about my Last of Us 2 experience so far. The sound design is so unbelievably crisp, best I've heard since Red Dead 2.

Someone was asking if Ghosts treated the mongols as actual people and the answer seems to be no: "The biggest flaw of the story is that besides the Khan the Mogols are totally anonymous. There are no other Mogol characters and you might as well be fighting robots because they’re just mindless aggressive enemies."

stuff that sounds cool-
some abilities have to be learned from specific individuals. can't magically self learn techniques (...except for the ones in your skill tree) related to the above, it sounds like every side quest or activity comes with some kind of unique reward besides xp. there's a fair bit of variety in the side stuff (haiku writing) and apparently there's tons of cosmetics. bad-
on normal, combat's trivial

Ghost of Tsushima is sitting at 84 on Metacritic and OpenCritic, which is very solid. I'm looking forward to playing it on Friday! https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/ghost-of-tsushima https://opencritic.com/game/9592/ghost-of-tsushima

Tsushima reviews were good enough for me to buy it. Apparently it’s still fun to play even if it relies too much on typical open world trappings, and the island sounds gorgeous. Seeing good things about the characters, too.

You just have to accept that the game values realistic animation over responsive controls, it's like the opposite of Mario.

Sekiro is one of my favorite games ever but you better be in the mood to TRY. The game was good enough that I bothered trying bosses for an hour before I beat them, most games I’d just think gently caress this and turn it off Tsushima looks nice for the turn your brain off run around open world talking to foxes stuff. Like I still load up Spider-Man and web around the world for 30 mins sometimes.

Sekiro has great combat but it's also probably the most demanding game I've ever played in what it expects from the player. Not every game needs to be that, so I don't get why so many people seem to feel the need to compare the two. I don't see anyone expecting the same thing from like, The Witcher or Skyrim as Dark Souls despite thematic similarities. Still on the fence on GOT tbh. Combat looks fun to me and the world looks very pretty, but I don't know if I'm excited enough to get it now or if I'll just wait for a sale in a few months. Just got back into Nioh 2 after finishing TLOU2 so I should probably finish that first.

Sekiro is IMO too demanding, there's no room for flexibility or experimentation. You beat the fight as intended or you get destroyed and there's very little available to tweak the playing field, other then the occasional one premade weakness to a certain tool.

Man, getting the grenade launcher in TR Rising is a real "I have a machine gun hohoho" moment. Like there's all these set pieces where the game wants to do, like a portion where you should be emerging from ice holes to pull guards into the water, but ya know, grenade launcher. It doesn't help that ammo is plentiful and easy to craft on the fly

It felt especially jarring in TLOU2. Most everything else is so well done, yet there's still some arbitrary "notice an entire human being's shape pretty obviously moving through some knee-high grass" meter above their heads, giving you well over a second before that person even thinks about checking things out. If that can be tuned to be less video gamey, I'd like that.
