I knew as soon as I saw box missions. It takes a special breed of gamer to find the highlight of their day the time they picked up a box, moved it, and put it back down.

What's the regular scrub PS4 performance like? And is Kurosawa mode a pro-mode only? Some sites said so, some not.

My favourite kill so far in this game was when I was thrusting forward with the Stone stance's charged triangle, but some jobber ran out of a yurt and caught it with his head.

Kicking dudes off of boats is cool too.

I'm a bit into Act 2 now and the game is still sweet as hell. Ran into a hilarious bug where Jin would not lift his hands up from his side. Walking around, riding the horse, swinging the sword - his hands wouldn't move an inch from his waist.

I think I'm going to avoid learning many more techniques though. I have the stances mastered as well as dodge/parry, but the throwing weapons seem too drat good. And unless I play like a clown, the game's winding a bit to the easy side.

Otherwise I honestly think this is the best combat I've seen. Aggressive play gets results, and dodge rolling around like so many other games makes me feel like a gently caress up.

And then


Yep, that's exactly what I had. Still cracks me up.

One of the loading screen tips, for the brief second they appear, says as much. Basically that plumes of smoke indicate a Mongol camp or a conquered village.

I like robes. They're comfy and easy to wear.

Plus they seem to fit the aesthetic better.

In act 1 there's a side quest to recover some supplies from bandits for a woman. She asks for you to not hurt any of them. I snuck in and didn't attack anyone, but someone spotted me on the way out. I just left their radius and they deaggroed. When I returned, the NPC asked if I killed any of them, and Jin said he had no choice.

Does that actually change if you sneak in and out successfully?

I don't know what dappled means but the horse is white and named Sora.
