I'm excited to just wander the world today, relaxing as I travel from one place to the next with no real goal. I haven't been excited to play a game since DS2 and Ghost couldn't be a better game for me right now. It's a beautiful thing. I love it. Thank God you can click R3 twice and get rid of the cinematic horse camera and you can skip mini games but I have yet to get to the point that I wanna skip them, I enjoy starting a cure and roasting food and I effing love the bamboo mini game so much but I can see why people with less finger dexterity would be put off from doing these, I play guitar and the third strike takes a few tries. I don't know if Lethal difficulty makes it harder put I can see a lot of people finally not being able to finish those, it needs a skip button if it's not slowed down on lower difficulties.

I have issues with the combat, it's very restricting with no freedom, Disarm is a BS mechanic that if you fail you insta die. Lethal difficulty is too punishing but hard mode is way to easy but that's a problem with all difficulty sliders games when you have to draw your own line and a great deal of frustration figuring out if it's you or the game. Lethal seems to be the way to go and and level with side content but I wish there was a middle option between these two. The weapons can be seen as stances but somehow it does not feel satisfying having to match a weapon against another, it goes against something the mind expects of a game but it's a bold decision and I have to respect it for what it is, something in a small way the has a feeling of uniqueness, almost indie game like. 

With the above said, this is the closest any game has come to matching that RDR2 feeling of tranquility with engagement and it even does some things better like having side content or random stuff pull you back into progressing the main quest. It may lack the deep narrative and film quality VA of RDR2 but it has the feeling of the game down so well. The story telling here is extremely bold and while not unique it is the first time I've seen something loose like this actually working and feeling cohesive and tight yet loose and free with an illusion (at least I think it's a design trick where content just leads to an unlock that all gamers will converge on no matter what path they persue) of emergence. 

Is the combat fun? Yes. Is it also annoying? Yes. Is it poorly designed? It's hard to say yet, it definitely wants you to play one certain way and while not a bad thing it does not match the rest of the games design philosophy. However it feels new and a tad unique. 

This game will be extremely decisive. Many will hate it. Many will love it and some fools will cry woke. There will be a TLOU2 like debate between gamers for some time to come, I would reckon. I have a fair idea, just like TLOU2 I'll be a lover and not a hater. 

Iam.reading yotai sold 1.7mill in 24 hours

I hear nothing about dei/woke crap besides the faces.

Iam getting more hyped

This sales rumor/leak is fake, it has been doing good based on worldwide PSN rankings tho.

There won't be "dei/woke crap" in the game, that's just stupidity some of you feed yourselves for some reason, that is not real, and you only keep harming yourself believing such blatant, absurd idiocy.

The game is amazing, I have 6 hours on it up until now and I'm loving it. Atsu, the protagonist, is awesome.

I already have several screenshots just like when I was playing Tsushima, this world is a marvel to look at.

Such a shame I don't (and probably never will) have a PS5 Pro, playing at 60fps is the way to go but I wish I could enjoy it looking its best as well. Still looks stunning on performance mode, it actually doesn't lose much from 30fps (cloth/straw physics on quality/raytracing mode are amazing tho), but this game deserves to be appreciated as much as possible.

Get hyped. 

Stupid in your opinion and way of thinking,not mine.

The way to peace is accepting others way of thinking,if not ~cant say the truth thats why mods edited this out~ will be repeated many times.

"The way to peace is to accept others thinking" you say. If you really think so, then how about you accept the thinking of game developers, for some peace in these threads?

Enough derailing with off-topic remarks that belong in the politics section, sparking more off-topic replies.
Go re-post your last sentence in US Politics |OT| where it is currently being discussed.

Lol

I won't be part of this but I just wanna say, telling someone they should accept other people's opinions while arguing that they're opinion is the wrong one if baffling🤦‍♂️

You don't want to be part of what? You started it, don't be a coward.

You were literally implying some publications being bribed to inflate the scores, as they directly avoided some of the ones you follow and those would not accept such things... even as the game had like 100 reviews by the time you posted it (it had 106 reviews on the day the embargo lifted, September 25, a week before the game was out).

But you are now playing the game and enjoying it, because you bought it by mistake.

Then, now that you like it, you say some fools will cry woke, when you were the one saying the game would be eye rolling dialogue and filled with "woke terms and themes".

You guys literally make up problems in your mind when literally nothing pointed to those supposed problems, and then are surprised there is no such thing and the game maybe is good... as every single thing pointed before release, even on the reviews, which you made this thread for.

Then you don't want people to point out the blatant stupidity of your posts because now respect is a thing and stupid, baseless opinions should be respected as well.
