Ghost of Tsushima aims to set itself apart from other first party AAA open world titles, but does it stand out above the rest?
TNS: "Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut on PC is one of the best ports we've seen in recent years from one of the best action-adventure games ever."
Ghost of Tsushima PC vs PS5, best settings and more in the Digital Foundry tech review.
Playing this at a locked 175 fps on an OLED ultra wide at max settings is truly awe inspiring. A great way to replay this classic.
Sweet! Glad to see it make the jump. Hopefully the PSN requirement doesn’t put too many people off. I think it’s only if you plan to play the Legends mode. It’s bullshit, but at least you can access the main game without making a PSN profile if that bothers you. I know on PC everyone’s sick of everyone trying to push their own launchers and shit.
It's really not that big of a deal, PC players just love to complain, my friend has quite a few launches and never once complained, really no issues at all 😂😂😂 28514;
Indeed. It's for the trophies and online. I just hope Sony doesn't require ps plus subscription at some point for their online games. PC gamers have dealt with 3rd party launchers forever, just a bunch of silly complaints, nothing different.
@dee
Right how dare those 180 countries that had this game listed a month ago but no longer do complain about a forced new regulation that is blocking the sale of the game even in japan.
Then you got the fact many countries need a goverment id to check if your legally a adult.
I have a psn account that is not linked to my steam account as having any form of vpn/antivirus and even something like discord can break there psn TOS. If your psn account gets banned via pc bs then your entire consoles online are bricked as do too them needing real information we all only have one account now.
I don't mind having a few launchers, just don't make me log into it all the time, it's astounding that some developers still persist with having their own launchers.
Its a greed deal
Alot of them wanted to leave steam so they would not pay that 30% charge but then there overall number of sales dropped opps so now there back but with there launcher as a leach because all these games have attached bullshit like ubi points or capcom rewards/stat tracking even the activation launcher that needs to be a thing for cheaters/stat track i think even trophies to a extent.
Just be glad we do not have a sony launcher as it would no doubt be fighting rockstar for most unsecured worst launcher on pc.
Some people love to complain but if it wasn't for Sony themselves they wouldn't be playing these amazing 1st party games on their PeeZees.
As long as your not serious, welcome to the party.
This is fun. My turn.
Yeah, all 10 people that can actually afford a decent PC isn't much. This is why they are drip feeding PC gamers because they'll eat up 10 year old games like they're new, and that's all 10 of them. Consoles gamers already wore that shoe, you all are getting leftovers.
Your turn
@ anast uhh, looks like the video is showing last gen (soon to be 2 gen old) GPUs running it pretty well to me? I mean if you can't keep your PC decently current then that's hardly the devs fault now is it?
@anast
You really need to stop trying so hard, it's getting downright embarrassing. Brand loyalty is a stupid endeavor, accept it, learn from it and move on.
@anast,
A 7-year-old GPU can trade blows with a PS5 in performance, I don't think it's going to be that hard to match/beat the PS5, especially if you look at the second hand market for parts.
here and most of the internet will never go against sony or play station there like the apple logo.
CG writes: The question we’re asking is, has Sucker Punch’s just released stealth-action game Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut on PC earned over £18 million in revenue on release week via the Steam platform alone (also available via the Epic Games Store)?
"also available via the Epic Games Store"
I'm pretty sure Epic Games Store is available in over 190 countries and 30 territories. So anyone that said that this game was not available in them was just lying.
I'm so shocked by games journalists and fauxragers lying. Really shocked. I do pity them though. I can't imagine going through life with such anger... at everything.
Hehe, you do know how much PC players whine about having multiple store platforms when really all they want is Steam to run a monopoly. Thank ye heavens for Gog and Epic.
When Steam is one of the very few actually trying with it's feature set it's a hard sell to get people to want something on a storefront that could care less about improving it's service. GoG is another exception, but Epic, which is still missing many features that have been on Steam for years like every other publisher just half-ass it, so they've earned and continue to maintain their poor reception and presumably act confused come every quarterly report for failure to understand the market they're in. Who really wants to invest in something that actively instills little faith?
Interesting answer from co-pilot when asked what are the differences between EGS and Steam.
Copilot
The Epic Game Store (EGS) and Steam are both digital distribution platforms for PC games, but they have some key differences:
Game Selection: Steam has a larger selection of games, including both indie and AAA titles, and has been established longer, since 20031. EGS, while newer, offers a curated selection of games, including timed exclusives and titles not available on other platforms1.
Revenue Split: EGS offers a more favorable revenue split for developers, taking only a 12% cut compared to Steam’s 20-30%, which can be a big draw for game publishers1.
Free Games: EGS is known for its regular giveaways of free games, which has been a major feature since its launch in December 20181. Steam also offers free games, but less frequently1.
User Interface: Steam provides a more feature-rich experience with user reviews, community discussions, game streaming, and non-gaming software. EGS has a more streamlined interface, focusing on a simpler user experience1.
Social Features: Both platforms offer social features like friends lists and chat functionality, but Steam’s community features are more extensive, including groups, forums, and user profiles1.
Exclusivity: EGS has secured exclusive deals for certain games, making them available only on their platform for a limited time before they can be purchased elsewhere1.
These are some of the main differences that set the two stores apart. Each platform has its own strengths and caters to different preferences and needs.
Co-Pilot forgot to mention: Both offer software, but Steam is very much more in-tune with VR with its Steam VR integration.
@bunt-custardly
I wouldn't take AI as gospel, especially a corporate one that ends most every answer with meaningless neutral ambiguity. You're better off actually talking to humans that use either and have something to lose, be it time, energy or financial investment. Personal experiences AI can't relate to.
"Is Just Another Open World Experience" yes but it is one of the best made open world games... it sits easily around 8,5 - 9/10 ...and probably one of the best farewells to a generation of consoles ....left me more memories than 5-6 games together
Puts the Japanese American on the review to explain how this western studio is culturally appropriating. Gives it a 7... Another one of these reviews.
lol, and this review is just another subjective opinion.
my example to counter this would be saying you have a pile of stones but one of them is polished and shiny, that's ghost of tsushima. while you may have other stones like it the other ones aren't as polished and as far as stones go it's what you'd want out of a stone.
at least that's my take on it.
edit: basically the game is good at what it does and you're underrating it just because. If you eat ice cream all day and say oh this is a slightly better flavor but i've been eating ice cream all day so this gets a 7 when it's obviously at least 9 out of 10 ice cream you're not being objective
***Ghost of Tsushimafeels like a tech demo–a showcase of the PlayStation 4’s graphical capabilities, especially through its hefty photo mode and the sheer amount of things you can have on the screen at the same time. However, it lacks the mechanical refinement of most modern AAA titles***
Insanity. I highly question this reviewer's objectivity in this review. It's just laden with poisonous words for the gameplay and anything non-Japanese. I've played a ton of games like this, it's no more "by the numbers" as other games nor does it lack storytelling elements ,but the author infers that there is lacking of it because outside of the story you repetitively fight enemies... like every game of its type out there.
Edit: And to the author, the enemy types are dog, bear, boar, hawk, mongol swordsman, japanese swordsman (very different these two), spearman, shieldman, archer, bomber, brute, captain, bosses/dueling opponents. A bit more than you said in your review. This doesn't include that as you advance in the game the difficulty of these opponents grows with more combos and combat options available to them all.
Edit 2: I don't care about the author's score, it's his words that feel wrought with bitterness of some sort. Like he went in with the intent to impugn everything but the japanese voice acting and the graphics of the game. He represents his opinion lazily and incorrectly throughout.
