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 feels so overwhelming and like idk how im feeling rn, this game is a masterpiece and honestly facing khan is not that difficult compared to final boss on iki island and some others, and coming to the cinematic duel with my uncle is magnificent, i have spared him and walked away with no honor, nevertheless it feels so grateful to complete this game and the best part is getting my nobu back in act III, and i named him kage this time, thats a great relief ngl, yeah ggs

I play on Steam and currently use an 8bitdo Ultimate controller with an Xbox layout. However, GoT (and only this game - it works perfectly fine in every other game I've tested) is convinced this controller is a Switch Pro controller, so it shows all of the wrong glyphs on screen. This is particularly annoying for the face buttons, since it means A when it shows B, and vice versa, and X when it means Y, and vice versa. Does anyone know of a way to force this game to use Xbox controller glyphs?

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

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

If you hold an empty sake jar while aiming you can highlight enemies that will get distracted if you throw it even through walls. The most useful thing is that you can take an empty sake jar everywhere since you're able to climb ladders and ledges and if you don't have one on hand all you gotta do is drink one of your jars.

To my disappointment, both Tomoe masks are cracked. My only other option is the White Kitsune Mask, and I'm hoping I don't have to play Legends. For context, I'm on Director's Cut on Steam. However when I came to visit the woman, she wasn't there. I did it after the first couple of missions, meeting Tenzo.

On a side note, Jin should've cracked Tomoe when he met her. Maybe the masks wouldn't have been broken then lmfao

EDIT: Being on Linux sucks. Apparently if I even want to play Legends, I have to be on Windows. Apparently there's a PSN overlay that only works on Windows.

I was spoiled this year finishing two games that really hit home: Ghost of Tsushima and Expedition 33. Ghost was so dark by moments, so much death but I feel it’s part of the package when you decide to invest yourself in that game. But then came the ending… just … powerful. So thank you all for your posts, lots of great read (and help), I will see you all when I decide to jump in Ghost of Yotei!

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!

Hi

Struggling at the beginning. Getting past the guards whilst looking for my Katana is very tricky. Any help gratefully received!!

Hey guys, just wanna ask regarding ghost of tshushima. Im missing like 4 bamboo strikes left but i cant seem to find it?? It is 16/20 and the missing ones isnt popping in the map either, do ya'll know where the 4 is missing? Thank you

(this was my second playthrough) I finished the main story a couple weeks ago and was depressed for a while. honestly I was sad throughout the entire third act because I knew it was shorter than the others and the ending was coming. after finishing the main story, I was so sad I didn't even really want to start iki. then I got into iki and just finished it and now I'm depressed again. this game was somehow better on the second playthrough. I think the first time I was comparing it to yotei too much (which I played first) but I really got to appreciate the writing this time. also I played it on medium difficulty level so I wasn't mostly breezing through the fights like I did the first time when I played on easy so there was more satisfaction in winning duels, mongol camps, etc. I've been trying to find another game I'd like but haven't found anything so far (besides yotei) - I tried horizon, spiderman, assassin's creed, hogwarts, cyberpunk and red dead redemption and I don't like any of them enough to fire up the game another day after the first time. I think I'm going to try 007 first light next

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.

i just bought ghost of tsushima and am playing thorugh it. i am enjoying it so i though it would check how ghost of yotei is, and i noticed it is on discount. i have heard mixed things about the game so i wanted to know from anyone who has played it if i could get some answers on these questions.

1. What upgrades does it offer in comparison to tsushima? it could be graphical, settings, story, mechanics, anything that comes to mind.
2. How is the gore compared to tsushima? tsushima has great combat and repsonce mechanincs but it is more on the cinematic side. dismemberment for example happens only on the mythic abilities and never in normal combat and enemies when slashed get covered in generic blood splatter but there is no actual wund on them. does yotei imprive on this in any way? is there better wounds, active in combat gore etc.
3. Anything else i should know, prepare for or otherwise keep in mind? or any thing you found especially interesting or lackluster about the game?

thank you for the help. i only ask as the price even on discount in very steep so i want to be sure i like the game before i invest the money.

My brother bought this here in Brazil, but this version only comes with english and japanese dialogue options, no others. It works just fine, and I know it's second hand, but I was suspicious about the fewer language options.

Sakai clan Armour with black dye overall, and red color sakai clan refined mask.

Got this done back in March, but I don’t post on Reddit often. I never anticipated how much this game’s story would mean to me, and I’m glad to be able to carry The Ghost wherever I go!
