There is a lot of fucking nonsense whining about this title. 

Personally I love that they got away from Jin Sakai, his story was complete and felt great on it's own. I like that it's new era in a new region. I don't mind that the main character is female. I'm quite excited for it as much as I can be for what we've been shown, I have faith in Sucker Punch and I can see already they know what the players loved about the first game showing us those colourful vistas and by the vibe captured in the trailer. 

I'm one that is getting increasingly pissed off with Sony and they are really leaving a bad taste in my mouth but this is a WIN. People are rabbid, when a company is being shit like Sony is on the edge of being right now they have to tare everything down regardless of if it's good or not. Can we please give them the win so they know they are doing well and not confuse them by complaining and both W's and L's. They'll just avoid criticism all together and continue to produce L's for us. 

Thoughts?

Yeah, I honestly wouldn't have thought continuing Jin's story would have been a good idea because of how the story ended (which I won't spoil here) so I'm perfectly happy with a new protagonist!

I have complete faith that Sucker Punch will deliver.

S tier, the only thing I would have been happier seeing at the State of Play was a Naughty Dog game.

Sucker Punch should deliver the goods, I don't mind that's about 400 years later in the story with a new protagonist.

I enjoyed Tsushima. Great visuals and overall atmosphere. Satisfying combat. Solid story. I gave it 6.5/10.
It was another game that would be better if they've decided to make it less of this modern bloated-world "genre".

Honestly, I have no interest in sequel, if it's more of the same.

It looks great. I'm also not some insane sociopath who is offended over a woman being in the game. People have truly gotten ridiculous, can't enjoy anything anymore.

The sense of scale looked really amazing. I like origin stories so I'm good with a new character. I hope it doesnt have too much of the ubisoft open world design that some of the first game had. But looking forward to more duels and beautiful scenery.

Looks good as far as atmosphere and graphics.  I don't like the character design for the lead though.  

This looks more like a face of someone who works in some type of service industry.  I see no pain, I see no history, I see no wisdom.  In fact it looks like she has a stick up her ass.

This is what I prefer.  This says, I've seen shit, you don't fuck with me, you better run motherfucker, too late your dead.

I didn't notice it but now that you've said it, I can't unnotice it. 

Very excited. Don't know what the fuss about the character is, and I'm very critical of Yasuke in Assassin's Creed: Shadows. The choice here was probably made for the wrong reasons, but it makes enough sense to me until proven otherwise, so it doesn't feel like it's getting rubbed in my face. I guess that's all meaningful I have to say. Obviously the game looks great, love the new setting, like getting away from Jin, as much as I liked him, the game is coming sooner than expected, and so forth.
