The graphics in this game are consistently mind blowing. Just got the Sakai armor in the beginning of act 2 and that area is insane looking with all the different color trees
I love the flow of the fighting. Lots of fun and well animatedI always forgot I have the shoulder charge! I need to remember to do it.
I unlocked Parry for the unblockable attacks and Wind Stance for fighting Spearmen. I'm absolutely destroying the enemies now.
What other game would you compare this to gameplay wise?
I dont like games being too difficult. Even the new GOW kicked my ass.
Now that's a confident statement about initial sales. I hate it when they put out a statement like this without numbers. Sony did it for Last of Us 2, Death Stranding and Days Gone, that I can remember off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure those games sold well and I enjoyed them all except Last of Us 2 which I haven't played yet. But when they don't provide numbers it always makes me suspicious and think they're trying to spin something.
Its been a difficult wait but I think I'll be able to start this game soonish. At least I think so because I just defeated a major boss in Death Stranding. However, I was surprised when the credits didn't roll once I did. Seems like Kojima is taking a page from James Cameron who's the master of the two part third act.
I have discovered that I also suck. I'm too impatient and I'm attacking constantly and I can't figure out the stuff where you have a standoff or whatever it's called. I suck so bad.Wow I suck at this game, on easy
Do you have a 3d audio set up? It sounds so awesome coming from overhead. I don't recall any distant thunder, but I haven't noticed any repetition, perhaps because it's coming from all these different directions.One nitpick I have with this game is the thunder sound effect seems like it's the same two or three sounds over and over, there's never any rolling thunder like you are hearing it in the distance, I think that kind of sound would go great with the visuals.
Haha, pretty much. I started using the typhoon kick to knock any hostage attacker away from them,
You swing when they raise their hand to strike. Be careful because they try to fake you out into swinging too early later on. Still, watch their feet. They are attacking when they move forward.I have discovered that I also suck.

This game is in the running for GOTY (not sure if it has a chance against Cyberpunk, but you never know!) for me. LOVE it, though now I'm pretty far, It is getting a tad repetitive. If I have to follow another damn fox... Best open world game since The Witcher 3.
It has everything I like in visuals too. Dynamic wind and grass. Lots of cloth sim. Dangly bits on the characters, volumetrics everywhere. Tons of particles. They do such a great job of managing the LODs and visuals at distance. I love how far out you can see the tufty grasses blowing.
I also haven't enjoyed melee combat this much in a while, and I appreciate the different enemy types and emphasis on parries. So good. Seemless flow between fighting and sneaking too. Overall, everything I could want for a game. A true masterpiece for me.
Doing lots of sneaking? Poisoning? Generally dishonorable behavior? Yeah me too... I use the flute to clear the skies when it gets to be too much.I read that the weather changes depending on how you are playing, I seem to be getting thunder almost all the time so maybe that's why I'm hearing it so much.
Always go for subs, daughter sleeping and I have sound down it's the only way to know what's going on lolI'm still very early on, but I'm not liking it all that much. The new patch made the difficulty more tolerable, but I'm just not compelled to play the game.
I need to upgrade my ancient receiver. I'm having massive difficulty hearing dialog in any game these days. I have to use the TV speakers to hear it. Everything else sounds great, just the dialog is very, very low and no settings seem to change it.
I don't like to read.Always go for subs, daughter sleeping and I have sound down it's the only way to know what's going on lol
Just shoot them in the back when you see the kill icon.
