Like, does going against the Samurai Code and doing stealth kills actually affect anything? Just curious I've read that going stealth affects weather. More stealth means more rainy weather and storms but don't quote me on that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Okay, see, I like this kind of stuff: A golden bird leads me to this building. I go around, I climb a ladder, and on both floors, I just see some linen and a couple supplies. After going around a lap, I thought, "Huh, well... I guess it's something." Then I see something flash down below, and in a crawl space are a ton of supplies. I go outside, find a place to crawl under, and grab all of them. See, even having been led there, there's still a moment of discovery when you realize what the bird was really doing. Good shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true that's cool as shit. It's a rather clever feature. Jin is an unrelenting force of nature in Ghost of Tsushima, abandoning his identity to embrace the symbolic power of the Ghost in order to defeat the Mongols via means that lack honor. At the start of the game, you'll likely defeat most enemies with the tools of the samurai as they'll be all you have access to. But as encounters increase in difficulty and you unlock new Ghost skills, the game naturally encourages you to adopt a more stealth-focused approach. As you stop using the skills of the samurai and begin relying on those of the Ghost, the in-game world will change to match your playstyle--transforming the gentle breezes that the enemy Mongols first encounter upon invading the island into a constant bombardment of terrifying winds, booming thunder, and flashes of lightning. Because it will be storming more often, areas will naturally be darker too, which further sells the idea of Jin dishonorably engaging his opponents when they can't see him. https://www.gamespot.com/articles/going-stealth-in-ghost-of-tsushima-will-affect-the/1100-6479889/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Oh shit, that explains why it's so fucking windy so much for me. I do plenty of samurai stuff, but I've definitely been using my ghost weapons more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the feudal Japan/samurai setting and theme more than the somewhat overused medieval fantasy one, and the core gameplay and combat are a lot better IMO. 4 hours ago, skillzdadirecta said: It's the Samurai/Ninja game I've always wanted but never imagined. Same here. It has exceeded my expectations which games rarely ever do. The story, characters, graphics, music/sound/voice acting, gameplay/combat, etc. are all topnotch. The art design and graphics are some of the best that I've seen in a game, and the audio is equally impressive. The core gameplay and combat are some of the best that I've experienced in a game. The mix of sword/ranged combat and stealth adds good variety to the gameplay, and the combat in general is fun, visceral and satisfying. It's like a deeper more modern version of a hack-and-slash game put into an open world. I really have no complaints with it at this point, everything about it is impressive.

However, I noticed that sometimes I can't find them afterward; they only pop up sometimes for me. At the beginning of the game, I thought you were supposed to hunt them. I saw one sitting around at the beginning and I started crawling toward it hoping not to startle it. And of course it moved, but I didn't realize it was trying to help me. I went back there yesterday and followed it to awesomeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
