Hello everyone. Hope you all have had a good week and have been keeping cool in the ongoing heatwave. This week i wrapped up my NG+ of Persona 3 reload, having successfully maxed all social links, completed the compendium, and beat the secret boss fight. I overall really liked my experience with P3, and I think I will definitely check out the P4 remake when it drops next year. I also chugged along with Elden Ring seamless co op. Hope you all have a great week ahead!
still plugging away at the elden ring DLC but i’m valuing my time most of all. if i can’t get a boss in ~5 tries out comes the mimic tear and gold summon signs; my run is already at like 95 hours or something and i am f a t i g u e d.
Beat the firework boss in death stranding 2, probably some of the coolest lighting effects i’ve seen ever in that level. grinding out some highways in it otherwise, can’t believe it’s a Car Good game
still waiting for paradox to unfuck civilian ship automation in the latest patch so I haven’t really touched stellaris in awhile.
also downloaded Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, not because I thought it would be a good game, but because Fuck Denuvo and v38 cracked it. Very pretty game but otherwise quite hollow with odd pacing.
How does AssCreed Shadows compare to Ghost of Tsushima?
I thought AC was more fun to play but Ghost has peak vibes for some things, I just couldn’t stand the completely overblown fixation on honor. It’s a klingon level caricature, and I get that’s the point (even in game to some extent) but my god…
I feel like the research done for GoT was a bunch of dudes binging chanbara movies (couldn’t be me
) and trying to write based on that. The fact that it had a “Kurosawa visual mode” that was just grayscale and film grain or something like that was telling.
Kinda crap story, but it was a pretty game with solid vibes like you said.
haven’t played ghost of tsushima so idk but it’s the same asscreed slop with the same dogshit filler sidequests. i’m sure it’ll also have shitty scaling so that when i’m level 55 with a ton of crazy shit all the basic enemies will have massively inflated health pools/stats. can’t comment on the story since i’m barely 5 hours in but i’m not expecting anything that wild
really their MO hasn’t changed in years with these games
Yasuke being a protag made it seem kinda neat, but you’re definitely right. I didn’t bother to finish the Egypt one, despite the setting being cool. I’m guessing Shadows is 90% the exact same with a different setting.
I played through Ghost of Tsushima and enjoyed it pretty well for a mass market open world action game. If you bounce off Shadows (and still want some chanbara action), I’d give it a shot.
Yasuke is huge and cool as fuck so they at least did him justice
