YeahThanks lol and I respect everyone's opinion as long as they convey it respectfully. Hey, your talking to a guy tht hates Witcher 3, RDR2 and thought Botw was OK lol. It's a blessing there are so many quality games out there to fill everyone's likes and desires.
Btw, Ghost of T just keeps getting better, I'm fucking loving it. I think at the end of all this I'll be raising my score to like a 90
Like you, I didn’t like The Witcher 3 not RDR2, but I love this (Ghost of T)
By the way, I know this Ghost if T is being heavily compared to Horizon Zero Dawn, but I didn’t like that either. Ghost feels fresher. More like Days Gone. Days Gone and Ghost of T both get a 9 out of 10.
I mean, I get it- in the time of open world gaming, they’re all basically the same. Spider Man, Horizon, Ghost, Assassin’s, Days Gone, Yakuza...etc. So it all comes down to personal preference via the little things in-game.

If you can't see the subtle feminist agenda they try to inject in all AAA games, I don't know what to tell you, I guess you like all the fugly women also.Did I say they'd win in a straight up fight against men? Of course I'd expect women to take a supporting role during times of war.
As for the granny, how the hell would you feel to have to witness your entire family slaughtered and you had to bury them with your own hands? Masako Adachi has reason enough to be pissed to go off on her own seeking revenge. And at her age she's got nothing too lose.
Let's state the real issue here, which is your teen edgelord whining over a videogame featuring WAHMEN in fighting roles. Not every game is guilty of SJW forced diversity and so far Ghost of Tsushima doesn't seem to be falling into that trap. Reserve your scorn for blatant offenses to history like Battlefield 5.

Isn't that a demon who's flying? GOT tries to be grounded somewhat in reality and my point is that the immersion is broken a bit when granny samurai, who looks like she just crapped in her depends, starts mowing down waves of killers like she's john wick, it's just laughable at least to me, I still liked the game thoughThen you must hate Sekiro!

Is a simple math really....
One side seeing everything as “problematic” + other side seeing everything as “woke” = cluster fuck of internet outrage.

This is some of the most funny shit I've seen. Bombing TLOU2 isn't enough, so you counter bomb the next game that comes out...even though both games are made by Sony.

Of course.
Therefore it only ends up helping Naughty Dog since they're funded by Sony.

Yeah once again user reviews for a Sony game are useless. This is getting positive review bombed by the haters of TLOU2. It's people's audience like the Quartering that is doing it. He was just saying yesterday that he predicted this game would have a 9 user score and what do you know it does. It's so funny that a pos like him says others have agendas when his agenda is crystal clear.

Or maybe they can only afford one game and held out for Ghost? IMO kid made the right choice and I'm glad he/she is happy they waited.

I don't really agree with review bombing, but it does appear to be effective, especially on platforms like steam where reviewers need to have bought the game to leave a review

It's not just the Internet. This is pretty much the state of America right now. You have to pick a side and see every unrelated action as either supporting that belief or going completely against it.

When you have developers flat out say they push an agenda and want to include politics into their games and are unapologetic about it, what do you really expect? I still really like the game overall and I would highly recommend it, but I just have to roll my eyes when these SJW tropes keep being repeated in every single game I play nowadays, also wasn't expecting granny samurai, they could have done that storyline so much better and make it more believable without turning her into Rambo.

About id say 10h in. I am still in the first section, let's call it that. For the positives
- the game is gorgeous, there's no denying that
- sword battle is amazing and once you get to grips with it, it's super fun
- story is decent
The negatives
- feels like an assassin's creed rip off
- performance is horrible and detrimental to the gameplay
- character animation is stiff, especially during cutscenes
- camera is not good and gets in the way of your battles.
Overall, 6/10 for now.

You know what you remind me of? When NieR Automata first came out, people said the can’t take the story seriously because of 2B’s design. Again Ghost of Tsushima never was going for historical accuracy even it has historical setting. Same way with Sekiro, it takes place in Sengoku period but story itself is not is historically accurate.
Let’s remember how this granny kicked our ass when we first fought it.

Thank God Suckerpunch refrained from calling the mongols "retards", that would have thrashed the score.

So far a 9.2 user score based on 4000 reviews in 2 days. 4000 reviews is a shit load of user reviews in two days where it's tons of 10s already. And this game has a more modest 83 critic score.
So where's all the naysayers saying user scores should be purged for being too many fake scores so early into release?
Talk about two-faced when it comes to positive or negative review bombing.

OMG gamers are positively review bombing a game. REEEEE! They don't really like it! They are just pretending to like it because they hate another game!

A 9.2 is what the official MC score should have been in the first place. This game is excellent. This is so far my personal game of the year.

You have to look at context, the grandma samurai in GOT is out of place because of the setting and plot, they could've presented the story in a much better and lot more believable fashion if they weren't so intent on turning her into some bad-ass Rambo fighter. Whereas in sekiro and it's more fantastical setting fighting an old flying demon with superpowers fits. And of course I would never object to 2B's design but I understand your point.

"Subtle feminist agenda?" You mean like this?
Compared to Hulk Hogan here, I'll take Masako's understated badaassery and believable character motivations any day of the week. And please, since when did having supermodel looks become a requirement for a female character to be compelling?
Ghost of Tsushima is not trying to be a realistic historical simulator of feudal Japan. It's Suckerpunch's love letter to the jidai-geki (era-drama) genre of Japanese films that were made famous in the West by directors like Akira Kurosawa. And many jidai-geki films featured women in martial roles, so stop getting your panties in a bunch over what is an accepted genre convention.
It's just as much of a fantasy as Sekiro, especially when you read up on what really happened to the real Tsushima island when the Mongols first invaded and slaughtered most of the inahbitants.

said GoT is going for romacesizing feudal Japan like you see in Kurosawa movies, you can even tell from how colourful is in its entire visuals, it has kind of surreal feel to it.If you try to see everything as "whats woke or whats not", you gonna end up enjoying nothing. Don't make up "problem" or "controversy" for yourself when there is none and ruin your own experience for nothing.

These 2 situations are nothing alike. TLOU 2 had over 30,000 reviews the 1st day of people just giving it 0/10 or 2/10 because of some SJW nonsense reasons. It now stands at 126K user reviews (more than any game ever)
4000 is the normal amount most games get

As I've said I like the game and would recommend it and I've watched plenty of kurosawa movies, I just can't take this character seriously, that's my opinion, if you think that character is "badass" or non-laughable than I guess that's your opinion. Still it didn't ruin the game for me. Supermodel looks isn't required but it sure would've been nice to at least have one or two non-fugly women in the game.

Nah, he's not wrong. This like a perfect storm for GoT.If this somehow is not sarcasm then I think I've finally heard it all.

Not only is it coming off the most divisive game release of the last decade. It's the perfect fun comfort food game for counterbalance, and a new IP so there's no baggage. Also fanboys of other games and consoles aren't threatened by it because it's metascore means stands no chance at GOTY. Basically, there's zero reason anybody with an agenda to root against to any large degree, and a reason for people root for it because the game either overdelivered on their expectation, or TLOU2 spite, or both.

Did you know that Samurai wives were usually trained in the sword and bow just like a samurai because they were sometimes tasked with the defense of their homes too?
some sources Famous Samurai girls
Kaito Suiju talking about it briefly.
Now, can someone show the woke hunters where the door is, please? security!

Give it time it might happen, can we get another cuckman pegging abby scene?
Bullshit.
People liked the game and gave it a high score.
Unless you are saying its objectively not that good and people are giving high scores to spite TLOU2 which, of course, IS objectivly just that good.
The reviews for GOT are genuine. The people who don't like it just don't like it and move on. It was not review bombed negative or positive. The people who have a vendetta with TLOU2 have a unique kind of obsession with it. You look at some of these youtubers some of them literally have close to 50 anti-TLOU videos that have went up since the leaks. GOT doesn't have that culture war kind of aura to it.

Exactly why they are useless for this game too. Something like Spider-Man that has been out for 2 years barely has more than this that just came out. You can click on a TON of these user's profiles too and see they gave GoT a 10/10 and TLOU2 a 0/10, 1/10 etc. That or GoT is their first ever review which is sketchy as well.

There's a mix of both. I can read some of the user reviews, look at certain profiles and see.
It would've gotten a pretty high user score anyway because nobody's rooting against it. There's no controversy, no Nintendo fans feeling threatened by it, no big expectation for GOTY. It simply being good and pretty is more than enough.
