Hopefully Ghost of Yotei will be more streamlined than Ghost of Tsushima!

Ghost of Tsushima was great but I was also fully burned out on the game by the end. Less repetition please.

It could have done witout that third act aye but I never noticed any bloat, I spent 175 hours in it which is 100 hours more than the 100% completion time cause I spent so long taking my time and doing photography cause anytime the light hit just right I'd have to stroll around and feel the vibes. Hopefully it will be a bit tighter in story though, aye but I wouldn't want it too much in that way, AC shadows tried to do a story with freedom where you can tackle it in anyway and the reason I didn't buy it besides the bloat and scale. You can't tell a good story like that. 

We'll know today anyway, reviews drop soon. 

It was all the repetitive side content that wore me out. Every new area you unlocked, the same repetitive stuff. 

I don't mind spending a lot of time with a game, but it has to have variety and experimentation. Hitman WoA was amazing on PSVR2. I skipped the whole gun stuff, ditching 90% of the 'complexity'. (I couldn't reach them, nor the ammo while sitting on the couch, VR fails) Ignored the main story and spend 100+ hours exploring the varied, very different levels and unique mission stories. Playing with the systems rather than following todo lists to gain xp or upgrade skills.

Find object, pick up and throw is all I needed to have all the fun in the game. And changing disguises of course. 

Oh, I know what ya mean. The Ubisoft formula. Yep, I got sick of those too but it wasn't THAT bloated compared to something like AC or Horizon FW. 

Probably all those platinums you chased this year. You’re just no longer a premium gamer son. Time to move to mobile gaming.

1. Stop playing.
2. Keep buying.
3. Have a kid.
4. Teach the kid how to play games and enjoy watching them smile and get excited with their first experiences lol.

Oh, I'm a filthy, filthy casual now. 😪

5. Have your kids completely ignore your well curated gaming library and play on their phone, Roblox, Rust online with their friends :p

They did enjoy Champions of Norrath on PS2 when they were younger. And started with Wii Sports Resort as soon as they could hold a controller. 3 years old, best thing ever was watching the plane crash and the little Mii jump out.

But complex single player games, no interest.

I guess it's what you like best. I didn't find Horizon FW bloated and treated that as a photography simulator, walking everywhere to enjoy the scenery. Same for RDR2 where I spend more time canoeing than on horseback lol.

All the Ubisoft busywork simply isn't necessary and only detrimental. If you enjoy a game you'll find your own things to do. Having repetitive side missions for perks simply isn't fun, it's work.

Horizon FW I played on easy, skipping most of the systems. I never bothered with poisons nor traps, no interest in that. I'm not looking for a challenge, I'm looking for relaxation. And then I can keep going with a game for a long time.

AC I gave up on long ago though, burned out on the one after Black Flag, AC Rogue, never came back.

My son is 4, I guess I will find out which way he will land soon lol.
