purbeast Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I'm like 45 mins into Ghost of Tsushima. So far I'm liking it. I started with Japanese voice and English subtitles but I decided to turn it off because there is a lot of dialog while playing, and it's hard to focus on what you have to do and look down. Also the mouths not matching the Japanese audio did not bother me since I was looking at the text as they spoke. I'm going to try it out in English for a bit and see how I like it.

purbeast Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Think I have put close to 5 hours into Ghost of Tsushima already today lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Easy now. Next thing you'll be speaking broken japanese and going viral for practicing sword strokes with some texas toast in the bread isle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh8686 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I'm digging the game so far. I love the wind mechanic and the family connection it has to the MC and I appreciate games that make good use of sound cues. The combat is satisfying, without being cheap, although I've died a couple of times already playing on hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I've died multiple times on medium difficult. This game is great. I've put probably 6 hours into it today. And I think I'm only like 3 or 4 missions into the story. I keep getting side tracked but enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 How is the combat? Are the enemies realistic or do they have tons of health and an unrealistic number of sword slashes a to kill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both you and normal enemies go down in around 4-6 quick slashes and 2-3 with heavy attacks. Stabs can one shot weaker enemies. The duels are nice as well and healing works similar to Spider-Man’s mechanics. Combat is much easier than sekiro in my opinion. It feels good rather than frustrating. Stealth seems easy as hell so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a bit recently about a "No Man's Sky 2.0" patch, and damn if it didn't peak my interest (just a bit, there are scars here that will never heal). One vid I saw was showing a third person feature, boarding a derelict in what looked like a damn X wing fighter. Player was tasked with rooting out an infection of some kind. Almost looked like Dead Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmsy Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I have a $1 for one month Gamepass and I'm using it to try out games to buy later. I've tried "For the King", but It didn't grab me. However, Bloodstained was quite enjoyable. If Konami won't make new Castlevania games (or any games), I say let someone else take over the mantle. Next, I'm going to try Nier: Automata, Witcher 3, Darksiders 3 and Remnants From the Ashes. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...there is no PvP. There is cooperation with other players. The VR is really cool. There are missions to do, but they start to repeat themselves. The derelict freighter mission...I did one of them. Spent 5 million credits to do it. Was ok...to see if doing it a second time right after would have cost me 10 million credits. The graphics got alot better..the ships can be pretty cool if you find the cool ones...base building is fun. I personally have about 30 bases ranging from very large ones to just the base computer because it was a good planet to teleport to for supplies to craft things to make.more credits. I have a massive class S freighter and all my ships are class S and they look really cool. Edit: if anyone wants to check it out, let me know...I can jump on with you and help with missions and help get.you some money. My top fighter is pretty much indestructible now...unless PvP comes in...then may be a couple.tough fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 2 of the most beautiful games of this generation. I signed up for the $1 gamepass for a month just to play Ori Will of the Wisps. I felt kind of bad not paying the developers $30 for it after playing it. But financially it didn't make sense lol. It was interesting how it was on gamepass at launch.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 1 hour ago, Simmsy said: Nier: Automata this game is outstanding and a hidden gem. It’s kinda odd at first but if you stick with it past the intro it tells a really beautiful story of androids sent to earth to see if it is able to be reinhabited by humanity in the future after humanity had to leave due to machine aliens taking over and what many people don’t actually realize is that when you beat the game, it’s actually not over. You may notice some things haven’t been explained or the feeling is just a little off or it was a short game. That’s because this game requires multiple playthroughs the first is told with you being the main character 2b and is about 10-15hours. The second time, you get to see those events while controlling 9s and getting a new perspective on things. There are new missions, all different side quests, new gameplay and combat skills etc. about 8 hours. once you have finished these you can kinda consider them the prologue. The third time you play through it you get a basically an entirely different game and what ends up being the majority of the story that puts everything together. I won’t say more for spoilers but the first two playthroughs only scratched the surface of what this explores and what the game actually is. Beating this one unlocks a chapter select because there are two alternative endings to this as well that you can unlock. ive heard many people play the game and beat and say it was fun but short and never knew that they only played about 30% of the game This is the most unique game I’ve played in years. It switches from a top down shooter, a 2D side scroller, an open world hack n slash action game and an open world RPG seamlessly. The soundtrack is one of my favorites as well. Just a beautiful, fun and compelling game that is just an unbelievable experience. Unfortunately it released the same week as Horizon Zero Dawn and a week before Breath of the Wild so it was massively overlooked 3 minutes ago, Simmsy said: Ori keeps coming up in many a conversation, I'll add that to the sample list of games. fantastic games.

It feels like one of those games that I just didn't play long enough to like. I really enjoyed the music, its some of the best I've ever heard in a videogame. I figured I'd give the second one a shot, I've heard a lot of people speak very highly of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
