the art direction in this game is just so insanely good. composing a haiku at dawn with the last remnants of some pink clouds drifting past the tree tops, having an epic samurai showdown with lightning crashing all around, i'm loving it.

Gumball Gumption posted:Yeah, they've been pretty explicit that it's a game that is based on Samurai movies and not real history. So it's a copy of a copy and samurai fiction is similar to westerns in term of its disconnect from the real history it is meant to portray. I'm genuinely surprised how many people seem to have expected a nuanced and historically accurate tale from a game that straight up goes: Animal Spirits are Real, all the legends you read growing up were true, have fun dueling people in a world of endless falling leaves.

free hubcaps posted:the hats in this game are excellent the full head straw hat you find along the road + ragged traveler garb is  a bunch of the cutscenes even frame your face so it's looking out the slashed up part.

the little touches from unprompted bowing to things are so good. the swirl of leaves at your father's grave just completed that scene perfectly.

Fuzz posted:I was thinking that initially too, but often they'll conveniently fade to black somehow to force a time of day, and the weather overall can shift really drat quickly in real-time. They seem to cleverly use both to maximize cinematic effect without GTA style "come do this at night" or immediate fade to black when you start the mission. i'm curious of the game logic, since i've seen a bunch of time of day and massive weather shifts during cutscene transitions as well. not a complaint though as it always seems to be fitting to the narrative and the whole game has a slightly dreamlike a e s t h e t i c anyway.

That was an excellent ending to the game. I got a little misted up during the final haiku, but sorry uncle you're death was the only way to give both of us closure

ChrisBTY posted:I just finished it. It's a great game but I think I'm ready to put it in the rear view and never look back. It has hosed with my mood in pretty bad ways. Stay safe out there, being the Ghost is a lot easier in a videogame than real life.

Has anyone found any 'random' encounters similar to in act 1 where you confront the lady samurai by some villagers on a road, and she distracts you be saying "hey go investigate over this cliff" then you turn around and she killed them and you have to fight her?". I thought that was a great little moment and wasn't sure if there were any more like it.

threelemmings posted:An important note is you're looking from you own viewpoint. Jin is a true believer, both in his uncle and in the samurai. Think back to Yuna act 2 missions. Jin keeps going on about how Shimura will for sure give her the passage to Japan. The instant she and Shimura meet they hate each other and not only does Jin not notice but even if he did he wouldn't understand why. Agreed, I never got the impression Jin was developing down the path of some kind of hero for the proletariat. A lot of the side commentary was always 'boy this poison / dishonorable tactic sure sucks, can't wait for these mongols to be gone so things can return to normal. Even all the interactions with peasants are the classic "benevolent samurai lord" who wants to protect his people but isn't shy about dishing out his own justice. Which imo is exactly as one would expect for his background.
