We're finally here and wow y'all. This game hit me HARD. What a ride!! I know I say it a thousand times at the end, but what a beautiful and heartbreaking game. I loved it so much and *that* duel had such beautiful cinematography and music. Thank you so much for accompanying me on this journey! I appreciate y'all so much. I'd love to hear your thoughts and I will see y'all back again with the Iki Island Expansion :)
I just finished this on PC and I legitimately spend maybe ten minutes wrestling with what to do with Shimura. Absolute mental torture. Eventually granted him an honorable death but I hated doing it.
@@donovanmartin7946 first platinumed this game on ps4 and just did it again on ps5. For years I’ve seen people that didn’t have access to the game claim it’s just “pretty graphics” when it is SO much more than that. I’m so damn happy our pc bros finally get to experience this amazing work of art. This is a game that deserves to be shared by everyone. I want them to bring it to Xbox too, EVERYONE needs to play it. It’s THAT good….
@@code_xjThought I should do that too. But he would've had to live his life in shame for failing the Shogun and would've probably committed seppaku anyway so I granted his wish.
@@mr.reverse7399 I think it's canon that he spares his life and confirmed by the devs, as he finds overly honorful way of Shimura at fault ("slave to honor") and saves his only family, just like he cared about saving lives of others more than honor (poison).
I just finished it on PC and had a save file before doing this mission so did it both ways. I think the "canon" ending is that Jin actually spares him because thats what him as a ghost would feel right. When he spares him, he says "I have no honor, but i will not kill my family" which I also thought was so powerful. Both endings are powerful and sad. But its so beautiful at the same time. Truly a masterpiece. On the plus side, the kill option gives you the white ghost armor which imo is better than the other one 😂
Thank you for your real emotions. I needed this...I needed to see others managed to make the hard but only reql decision and felt the same way I did. Thank you.
So I'm spam running GoT ending cuz it's so good.. I've watched ALOT of reactions. This one might be my favorite! Pure.. wholesome.. emotions. Great work streamer 🎉🎉❤❤
I made a decision to spare uncle, considering Jin always put lives of others above honour and threw away honour to save people, it just seemed right to save an uncle and stay to his code, rather than kill him and replace honour with the code he's been following, killing Uncle is a Samurai choise and respect for Uncle, saving him is Jin's choise more aligned with his moral principles, either way, neither of the choise is a good one, glad you enjoyed the game
I think that's so valid and a super sound reason for saving Shimura. It STILL hurts my heart to think about the different interpretations and what a sucker punch (realized after I typed this that pun not intended lol) the choice is no matter what. I miss this game!! I've gotta grab it for PC :)
@@renwraiths as far as i understand, ghost of tsushima 2 will be following up the story when jin spares his uncle, unless it's only just rumours, time will tell :D
The only issue with your point is that it isn’t Jin’s honor that’s in question in the end, it’s his uncles. I couldn’t see jin robbing his uncle of his own honor in order to fulfill his own ideas on the issue. It also fits since it is essentially jin throwing everything away in order to have zero ties to his old self.
@@lucylucian2564 yup, that's why ghost isn't one of them, he's doing what's right and honourable for him morally, rather than what's right and honourable for the samurai.
Great video. I recently discovered your channel while looking for Ghost of Tsushima videos. Your reactions are very genuine. Subscribed. Keep up the good work. :)
I enjoyed your playthrough. At 58:29, you missed something that a lot of players noticed. There are symbols of past video games that you likely played. For example, there is a guitar (corresponding to "The Last of Us"), a. RED CAR, motorcycle, etc.!! Take a look at the table again!
Late to the party but this was a great playthrough. I especially liked your rational of choosing your ending. Well thought out and you articulated it well. Tbh many westerners choose to spare saying the ghost has no honor so he wouldn't do anything honorable anymore. A very black/white way of thinking, which is the exact failing of the samurai code of honor so I find it ironic. Not saying it's a bad choice, but people's reasoning for choosing it seems flawed.
Absolutely incredible game! I remember the night it came out my brother and I had been waiting YEARS for it but when we hit that title drop while jin rode through the fields of white flowers we knew we were in for something really special in the gaming space. Then a couple weeks later I got to the ending and i had to sit and think for about five minutes on what my decision would be. In the end I decided to give him his honorable death since I figured jin would be fine destroying his own personal honor but not that of the people he cares about. He wouldn’t take that from them. But when that scream happened……and then the credits rolled I was tearing up pretty bad. Then I had to just sit in my chair and think for a bit and thank all of the names in the credits for making a piece of art like this. It’s truly amazing even four years later, this one is going to go down in history mark my words…….I need a drink now after reliving this with you lol
I livestreamed this entire game Jan. 2021-Feb. 2021 and man, everyone who watched me play this saw me cry during this ending. This game is just so beautiful and so well written and not to mention just how amazing, it's narratives from all the characters really touch on human emotion.
Instead of arguing about which ending was the best, just play the game twice and end this debate. Personally I killed him the first time for two main reasons, 1st, Shimura was way too selfish and didn't care about his people, his obsession was only the stupid code, that's not how true leaders act, 2nd? White dye of course. Red one looks ugly as hell, i got it in the second playthrough though, both ends seem good, its up to you to choose, me personally, I would have killed him again and again, his obsession over the shogunate was annoying as hell. Jin lost everything for his people and never looked back
“Why does this look like a duelling ring?” I guess I wasn’t the only one who saw it coming, shimura even did the classic mafia boss move of ‘come take a walk with me’
Jin and Shimura, they represent different sides of a coin (you got it, great insight) and cannot be at the same time. They always represented in two different colors in their attire (Jin black and Shimura white), even in their last fight Leaves from trees don't mix + they throw their Katana sheathe, both of them didn't expect to make it out alive. Keeping Shimura alive would meant, they would have to be at each other's throat for the rest of their remaining lives, which means Jin would never attain peace, all his sacrifices would be in vain. Killing Shimura concludes Jin's story. (My insight)
Interesting insight. So you think that Lord Shimura could still be going after Jin even after being spared? I could see that being the case when his uncle stated: "The Ghost will be hunted for the rest of his days."
@@jirehbochung5983 Mostly likely, Jin broke samurai's code (bushido) not because he's disobeying Shimura (metaphorically). So, to prove it.. Jin must show he accepts and loves Shimura as his father. And Jin starts the duel by saying "I'm ready" referring to the Shimura's question during Kazumasa's funeral "I'll raise u as my son, are you ready?"
@@jirehbochung5983 Maybe I'm over analyzing, but it's a great story. I've so much thoughts about this, also IKI island really adds nice depths to it. Basically, I love this game lol
@renwraiths been hearing rumors that it is happening, but, a movie adaptation is coming too! And, the same guy who directed the John Wick movies, will be directing Ghost Of Tsushima 🙂
Historically, there have been two Mongol invasions of Tsushima (1274 and 1281), so I think the sequel to GoT will be about the second Mongol invasion. It seems that Hiroyuki Sanada will appear as Shimura in the movie.
Hey! I subbed because I found you're crying cute. You repeatedly said that you didnt want to but still did it! haha.. scary. Btw, I didnt kill him. I just couldn't.
there is purpose for the flute in martial arts , in the simplest beginning it teaches you how to breath ;) the best games are the ones with Story the ending was Honorable and the best way it could have ended in Love there will always be pain at times this is part of the lesson of love it is to bad there are so many half decent games that are only console which my large hand and controllers dont get along . the thing about the real Samurai is that more then not there were very few nice things about them they were brutal, savage ,raped people pillaged villages killed Children so that the survivors couldn't grow up to avenge what happened, and those are the nocer things that they did. these types of story's romanticize clean up the way they truly were, but those times were much different then compared to now , the stories we mostly see and hear about are similar to the way the Grimm tales that Disney adapted them to have happier and cleaner but the original were much darker and different. the honor like you mentioned maybe by mistake is\ was a personal perception the honor of one can be much different to another.
I just avenged my horse and break this idle talk of honor ,Congratulations on the game play, it played very well, but if you were moved by this game, play days gone
I wanna play Days Gone SO badly!! If you (or anyone else reading this) have any recs you'd like to see on the channel or just generally think I might like, feel free to fill out my game recs form!
Why re u crying, girl ? U said "I don't want to kill him" but u chose it while there re 2 ending and u could ve chosen the better one. And I gotta tell u, spare Shimura is the best ending.
@@goglergay Nah, spare ending suits Jin character more. He chose to be the ghost and lost his honor. He even claimed that he has no honor but he would never kill his family.
Expressing an opinion doesn't negate you being mean beloved. The idea that "well i'm just being honest" to hide behind the facade of unkindness isn't going to do you many favours. Think it's fake if you want my dude, there's plenty of people here who felt similarly to me at the end of this game that I can enjoy it with that aren't you. Your negative engagement is still engagement regardless, the only reason your comment isn't just getting deleted and you blocked is because you get to be today's lesson that this world needs a lot more kindness and empathy. Hopefully next time you see something you don't vibe with you reflect and ask whether or not your words make the internet a better, nicer place than you found it. Hope you have a better day tomorrow! 💛
I don’t think there was a wrong or right ending but when I played I let him live bc I kinda felt like Jin would have stuck to his own ideals in that situation as he did through the game and let him live, even if it went against his wishes for an honorable death. But I can understand the justification for killing him too. The ending to this game is so good man. Also I usually never get plat when I play games but this one was so good I just had to. I’m so glad you enjoyed the game and watching you be so invested in the story was really enjoyable. Im pretty hyped for you to start Iki Island so yk I had to turn on post notifs 🫡
A friend of mine chose the same thing you did for the same reason and I was soooo torn on choosing that! I’m so glad we got a choice. Maybe I’ll do a NG+ run and choose the other option 💔 Thank you SO much for watching, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed my play through. It means a lot to me to have you here and I’m super excited to tackle Iki Island! Your support is very appreciated! 🫡😊
