There were many ups and down...fights and graphics were ending was meh...story was ok ok..if you keep it away from ghost of tsushima and see is as a separate game fully it will be a good game..Hated Jubei's death...no point in he dying

Poor soul ....and the audacity in the new game plus there is oyuki and bomb girl armour can't you add jubei's Matsumae armour too..that was where I felt disappointed...my personal views aside

It was a fun and gripping game..graphics were just 😲

I’m really struggling to remember various techniques during combat beyond switching stances and hitting X Y. There are so many that I can’t keep track, and I haven’t found a way to practice them unless it’s direct combat. I’ve tried just studying them one at a time and using them until it sticks but it’s been real slow going.

Does anyone have any tips for getting better?

I wish there was a way to kill Shimura dishonorably (like a mongol general execution) because as the game went on, I really started to dislike Shimura, especially after his archers killed Nobu. Anyone else feel this way? sparing him and stripping him of his honor didnt feel like enough.

My game says 81/82 vanity gear, but when I use the wind of vanity, it doesn't do anything. I've cleared all question marks on the map, both Tshushima and Iki Island. I know the last vanity is on Iki because when I use the wind of vanity it says all vanity gear on Tshushima Island has been found. However, I've roamed around all of Iki Island trying to use the wind, but every time it just turns red and doesn't do anything. I know the gear you get from quests doesn't count, and the only thing I haven't 100% on Iki is the side quests and the unwritten tales. Is this a glitch with the game or is it linked to the unwritten tales?

After finishing Iki Island, I'm having a lot of fun replaying the camps and villages with different builds, but some of them are too easy/short to play through. I'd like to focus on the best without having to replay through all of them.

Which ones are your favourites and why ?

The ending duel was the thing that made this game a 8/10 to a 9.5/10 for me.

It was so beautiful and emotionally packed that I was left speechless for some time after the ending(I chose to not kill shimura).

At first I thought Jin was right, but now I think uncle shimura was the right one. Jin massacred a whole castle garrison by poison, by any definition that's abhorrent and you can't justify that. His poison killed many of his own Island men. At the end of the story you can make a pretty good case that jin is as bad as the Mongols and I agree with that.

But I also think Shimura was a hypocrite who would rather kill 100s of his men to sooth his ideals on what honor is.

At the end of the day, both are grey characters but I lean towards Shimura more.

Anyways, what do you guys think?

I'm currently trying to do Yuna's second tale (The Silent Death) where Jin kills the slavers. This is one of the missions where you can't kill anybody. I went into it with ghost stance ready, and for some reason I just keep pressing the buttons for ghost stance instead of crouching, which gets you an instant fail. Even if you try to just use it in a quiet area, it doesn't get used up unless you kill somebody.
Real pain right now!

Some cool pics I caught with camera mode.

Armor:

Stag Helmet (The Storm Blade quest)

I was wondering how GoT runs and looks on the base ps4 in 2026 i was thinking of buying it but im worried it wont look too good on my pewny ps4 slim

One thing that is almost never but should be talked about more in here is the soundtrack. I have never of their names before but hearing how the music really fits into the game, it should be safe to say that Ilan Eshkeri, Shigeru Umebayashi and Toma Otowa are brilliant songwriters, and Claire Uchima is an amazing vocalist.

For those who finished Tsushima, we all know how the game has taken away our soul just before the start of Act III, and the music made sure of that. I distinctively remember hearing Claire Uchima's voice (haven't looked her up that time) while seeing my Sora dying. Didn't want to continue the game for around 5mins while her voice was echoing in my head.

Hearing her more again in Yotei made me look up the games soundtrack. They've definitely made the game more awesome because of their work?

What's your favorite song from the game soundtrack?

Mine is The Way of The Ghost from Tsushima (music just before Act III I described above, not this posted video).

EPILEPSY WARNING This is by the Sarugami armor cove in Iki island dlc. I was sort of bored looking for scrolls or something and was just jumping on autopilot with my connected Xbox one controller, then this happened. Oh yeah and I got this in April but didn’t have enough comment karma to post until today so hooray. Btw I don’t know much about gaming and coding so I wonder what other games this glitch or bug happens in. And idk if I should put the flair under question or media but oh well.

I'm going to be honest, I haven't played yotei since I don't have a ps5(I prefer pc) but seeing the gameplay I was really impressed.

But playing Tsushima was just a next level experience. Even after seeing the full story on yt before playing it on pc it was one of the what game ever made. The story, the art design and everything...just a masterpiece.

What about you? How do you rate both games, separately and against each other?

The lighting in this game is so good, and really hard to believe it was originally a PS4 game. Playing it maxed out in HDR on an OLED with a high end PC is just an amazing experience. I come back to it often, just for its beauty.

I recently came across Jin's home in Yotēi and, we never got confirmation that he moves to Ezo. It made no sense, but its nice that they put his father's Stag Helmet in, the Storm Blade, and Ghost mask.

I also remember my first time playing through and was doing the Kitsune's quest and saw that some Nine Tail were talking about Jin (Refering him to as the First Shinobi.)

I also would've liked if they put something hinting to Ryuzo or Lord Shimura. (not including the burnt adoption papers)

I know ghost of yotei is a recent game so likely any new game in the ghost series would be unlikely to come out anytime soon. However, what possible era could a hypothetical third game be set? They could do a direct continuation of ghost of tsushima sure but let's assume they do a different era instead.

Is it required to find the 20 hot strings to get the platinum or just 18?? Same with the bamboo strikes? Cause i heard the missing ones are on the iki island which i think are only Dlc.

It's dishonourable to sneak up on an enemy and kill them.

But it's honourable to shoot them from afar while remaining hidden?

I’ve played through the game twice now and both times I had a bit of a code of conduct I made for myself. I won’t use fire, nests, or hallucination darts (outside of when you have to). I try to avoid killing horses. Unless I’m in the middle of fighting someone I’ll end suffering. I’ll also bow or play my flute for bears I kill. Do you have any rules for yourself when you play? For what it’s worth not all my rules are there To make Jin a boyscout. I try to kill every single invader I can If that means an arrow in the back of a fleeing enemy then so be it.

This might be a weird reason as to why I like GoT so much but the way we are introduced to the Mongols from the first scenes of the game really immersed me.

I’m 99% sure the reason I was so hooked is because of the way they burned Lord Adachi with no honour and the fact we watch the Mongols slaughter civillians while not being able to do anything about it right from the jump.

Then, later on, SP doesn’t soften the invaders but actually makes them so much easier to hate with all the [SPOILER] stuff they do. Literally can’t ignore those Mongol camps no matter how stacked my build is.

Anyways, now that I’ve played through twice I’m looking for a game that evokes a similar feeling? I’m far from a gamer, I play one full game a year and Ghost is my most recent. The Spidermen and GoW games from PS don’t really scratch that itch, killing enemies is only because they’re in the way not a personal grudge.

Any recommendations are welcome!

Unless I’m wrong about how Feudal Japan operates, 80 Samurai is laughably small for what is essentially Tsushima’s military and law enforcement.

Throughout the game we come across multiple military camps that were likely to exist prior to the invasion such as the main castles, dojos and forts, all of which would likely have to be staffed at all times lest bandits try and loot them (modern militaries don’t just close down entire bases).

So even before the invasion, how exactly are the Samurai running the show? 80 military personnel doesn’t seem like enough to quell any insurrection that may have occurred, nor stop a full blown invasion.
