Hah. Yes Hannah, you hit buttons and it does things. You're 100% correct.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@HannaHsOverInvested You do need some skill to make it engaging and challenging but like I coment before you can play this movies. Mass effect have Story mode so you can enjoy the story and make the choices with minimal skill required.
@@BeethoD I don’t mean to speak for her (which means I’m about to do just that) but I don’t think it’s a lack of skill that’s delaying her foray into gaming. I think it’s just an issue of timing and desire. She’ll come to it at her own pace. Or she won’t. Both are fine choices. Let’s not pressure her.
@@TA3DArtist Well, she mention her desire to "see that movie" and I doubt she can do many "no scope 360s" if she never play anything.
@@BeethoD it isn’t hard to play, especially a single player game
Also, there is a "Kurosawa" mode that turns the entire game into basically a black and white old school samurai film, complete with film effects and if I recall the occasional reel change mark. :)
Oh coooool!!!
It's a reference to Akira Kurosawa, the director for the 1954 movie "Seven Samurai". A highly influential film whose elements were borrowed and used in many films even today.
@@SyDemon Kurosawa made many films that inspired, and were remade. Including several classic westerns and star wars
@@eldeano9964 Hell, even A Bugs Life was inspired by Seven Samurai.
Story based games like this one is not just running around killing people, It is basically an interactive movie, where instead of actors move around and do stuff, you yourself move that actor and depending on your movements there are consequences that can change the flow of the story in some way (not all games but some games do change story depending on your choices). Some games are very well written with deep lore like novels.
Jin Sakai's character arc throughout the game, from rigid samurai bound by honor to feudal Batman was so well-portrayed. The final moments in the game hit so hard. The haiku, music and cinematography left me completely stunned, and I kinda just sat there crying a bit afterwards. Would totally recommend.
Thanks! Sounds great!
Feudal batman is the same thing I thought. I particularly love these types of stories where the protagonists go through that metamorphosis from righteousness or kindness to embracing their dark side. Makes stories more grounded in reality, no matter the genre. After all the world is never just roses and tulips.
Jin Sakai is the character's name he's played by a Kuwait born Japanese-American actor. They actually got a fully Asian voice cast to play the roles. Which is cool because doing that isn't always the way it works out.
That is SO COOL
Remember when people lost their shit at the reveal because a white dude was playing that seldom-practiced flute, sans the fact he was one of the few "masters" in that specific art? That being said it would be weird as shit hearing some "Big Trouble in Little China" esque voice acting of some random American just doing the "old angry Japanese man" voice.
@@HannaHsOverInvested this game is amazing, including the story
The real island of Tsushima suffered a lot of damage from a Typhoon in 2020. And there was a campaign to raise money to repair a damaged Torii gate in front of one of its shrines. The campaign raised over 250,000 and the priest who organized the campaign called out all the support he received from fans of Ghost of Tsushima.
I didn't hear about that. that's awesome.
Ever since seeing the game, I've just imagined every town on the island having someone looking at how to attract people to visit once Covid dies down, lol. Japan is such an amazing country to visit. If I ever move back, I'll definitely have to visit Tsushima.
I am Japanese and this story rekindled my spirit and the honor of my ancestors. It's funny to think that it took a foreign studio to remind us Japanese about honor. It's an amazing and beautiful game.
About those black and white scenes - the game has a "Kurosawa mode" which makes it look and sound more like an old samurai movie.
That is super cool.
@@HannaHsOverInvested if you don't know, Akira Kurosawa is a Legendary Director that made Samurai movies in the 60's and 70's.
his style has greatly influenced the 70's Western Spaghetti genre, the 7 Mercenaries are a direct adaptation from the 7 Samurais, and For a Fistfull of Dollars is inspired by Yojimbo.
George Lucas, Himself was influenced by Kurosawa style when he made Star Wars.
And the mandalorian series also has some inspirations of Kurosawa, (since the mandalorian is pretty much a Western in Space, and Modern Western movies where influenced by Kurosawa, wich He was also influenced by old school Western from the 40's and 50's, so the loop goes around in some way)
And since most of Kurosawa where black and white movies, the Devs decided that they could NOT make a samurai game, and not pay Homage to Kurosawa, so they included the Kurosawa mode.
I really like the angle of that American developers geeking out over Japanese history and culture get inspired to make Ghosts of Tsushima and Japanese developers geeking out over medieval European history and culture get inspired to make Dark Souls. Each with their own lens of the subject matter. "Cultural appropriation" is a thing of beauty that gives the world new experiences and insight.
I think there is a difference between appropriation and appreciation. And sometimes it is really hard to tell what that is. But in what you are describing, I think it is cultural appreciation.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Without a doubt the latter as they're giving due respects and paying homage as opposed to the appropriation aspect which is just more like assimilation than anything else. "I like this so it's mine now", ergo a white Valley girl wearing a Kimono just because "ooo cute". Being a Norse Pagan (given the OP's name they may relate; Son of Thor, Odinsson himself, AND Bjorn Ironside? Damn) in this modern age I've come to notice a lot of non-Scandinavian-lineaged people picking up the religion and has caused a bit of a rift devised from bigotry among some groups as some see it a form of cultural appropriation -- which it is _not_ -- however when some more militant groups try and alter and tarnish the history of said culture to try and demerit it and claim it was stolen from another group that _they_ happen to belong to would be appropriation.
Also, it seems the finer details of semantics does interfere in some peoples understanding and perception of things for instance the debate of "equality" when most that speak of it are actually referring to equity. For instance an image perfectly explains this; three people of differing heights are at a fence watching a ballgame, two can not see over the fence and one can, if you give the two shorter people the same sized box one can now see over the fence yet the other cannot, that is equality -- equity would be giving person two a box to make them the same height as the taller person to see over the fence and the shorter person three an even larger box so all three are on the same level. People seem to mix up appropriation and appreciation in the same way, hence this random tirade.
@@HannaHsOverInvestedthe main difference being appropriation doesn’t exist
The main protagonist changing his way of viewing the world and the samurai teachings is what this is about and your choices throughout the game will make it a revenge history or a redemption arc... There are some games where gamers input and their decision directly affect the stories that are being told, they are "Choice Matters" or "Choose Your Own Adventures" type of games.. Ghost of Tsushima is something like that
Ohhhhhh coooool!!!! Well I want to watch someone play the redemption arc version hahahah
@@HannaHsOverInvested There are people who do themed play throughs of games with good stories that are exactly that. There was a witcher series like that because the choose your own adventure aspect of that game was so strong the story is Completely different based on the choices you make. One of my favorite games on the ps3, Infamous, was so heavily about choose your own adventure it changed the story and ending significantly.
@@HannaHsOverInvested I think their explanation is a little weird. IIRC (I only beat the game once but have seen the other ending) it's one single storyline with two different endings based on choices made at the end. So if you watch someone play it, you can also watch the other ending afterwards. It's more that there are two different flavors of gameplay - open combat or stealth/subterfuge - and the core conflict is about "honor" and "dishonor." Namely, a strict Samurai notion of what is and is not honorable (though, as a side note, in reality the Samurai weren't actually all that focused on honor until centuries later, during a time of relative peace), and whether or not it's better to be "honorable" by their definition and lose, or be "dishonorable" and win and hopefully save your home.
So, you have to play the way they tell you to?
Typical for Sony.
@@aiden_macleod "How dare they design an amazing game and make it a mostly linear storyline despite allowing you plenty of freedom in choosing how to approach different encounters! Everyone knows more choice in the story = more good! Games like Fallout 4 are proof!"
"Does he also have a redemption arc? I don't know if games have those!"
Oh I wish you'd just give games a try already 😂😂 there's a much greater depth to game stories than you might think. Of course there's bad ones, like in any media, but you also have some true works of art.
Waiting for my guy Henry.
@@HannaHsOverInvested
Give it up, Hannah, it's not gonna happen. You just need to accept that and move on.
Same as the rest of us.
@@jolantru3085 well then I guess I won't be gaming any time soon. 🤷🏽♀️
@@HannaHsOverInvested
There are some great gaming experiences you can play through in less than 4 hours;
Gone Home, Firewatch, Portal, Inside.
You wouldn't even need the motivation of Henry Cavil's perfect physique or mellifluous voice to get you through them
I need his brain.
Fun Fact: Khotun Khan was Attila the Hun in *Night at the Museum*
I love that movie!
Yo what were my ancestors doing in Japan?
@@cantreadyourname9505 the attack on Japan, the first island the new Khan focused on was Tsushima. Twice they tried, twice they failed. I think both times it was because of a hurricane, only small amounts of Mongols could land on Tsushima since most got stranded at sea due to the storm
@@mr.fridayatholidays5642 the hurricane was Jin (also i love knowing stories like that)
He was also the a couch in Glee.
(not video related):
Razbuten did an experiment with his wife (a "non gamer"), where she played a few games for the first time - and the language of games
What Games Are Like For Someone Who Doesn't Play Games - czcams.com/video/ax7f3JZJHSw/video.html
Though that might be interesting for you as well
Cool! Thank you!
Oh yes! That was super interesting! People who have gamed for a long time just understands the "language" without thinking much about it but it was cool to see how that would translate to a non gamer. Very eye opening 👍
I think that woud be an interesting series to react to.
I honestly just ask her to react to that myself
you will learn so much about Japanese culture in Ghost of Tsushima
I bet! It looks super cool.
It's pretty "Bill & Ted" in terms of historical accuracy and it is an extremely romanticised version of Japanese culture.
I am here since the World of Warcraft reactions... anyway, a Ghost of Tsushima movie would need a scene of petting a fox!
🤣🤣 would it?
@@HannaHsOverInvested
There are lots of friendly foxes in the game and petting them is basically non-optional.
'Cause of their sweet l'il faces.
@@HannaHsOverInvested One of the optional side-quest is to pet ALL the foxes in Tsushima, so they lead you to ancient shrines of the goddess Inari. But, honestly, they are cute af.
Hey Hannah, when you said it looks like an old movie you're completely right, the game draws a lot of inspiration from Akira Kurosawa, a japanese director who made the very recognizable samurai movies, starting from the mid 30's. the game also has a mode so to speak that lets to play in black and white with film grain and such to emulate these classic films.
Thats really cool!
13:25 I think it's fine to appreciate small things like that transition. You just know that a lot of trouble went into making it go so smoothly. Even things like making sure you run from the correct shade blue to the correct shade of orange, to make it pleasing for the eyes. Filmmakers think about these things way more than people realize while watching.
Yes. You are totally right.
The "beach" thing is actually based on real historical events. There was a Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274 that started on Tsushima Island, you can read about it. Though it's based on true events, a lot of things were made up for artistic purposes. For example, 13th-century samurai didn't wear typical shogun armour and didn't charge into battle swinging their katanas, they didn't wear armour and preferred shooting with bows on a horseback. The samurai the way we used to see only started to look like that in the 17-18th century.
If you would like to watch "that movie" you can try to watch Kurosawa samurai movies wich the game takes a lot of inspiration from (they literally have "Kurosawa" mode that turns picture into black and white). Fun fact, George Lucas also took inspiration from Kurosawa to create Jedis.
I first started off not liking your videos, then something clicked and I love your content, now my wife watches you too. Keep up the good work!
hahahah thanks! I'm happy I hooked you in!
OMG I never thought of that. Jin's inner monologues if this were a first person work of literature would be NEXT LEVEL. How he transitions from strict adherence to tradition to realizing the lives of his people are more important than that same tradition. What must be going through his mind. I would absolutely devour that book.
RIGHT!!
This game helped me through a lot of 2020! Yes it has excellent action sequences but then also these long stretches of time where you just explore the world of Tsushima. Meditating, writing haikus, and just walking slowly through the forest 😌
So cool.
There aren't enough adjectives in just one language to explain just how beautiful this game is. Not just visually, but in its story-telling. There isn't a single character in whom you don't become emotionally invested. It was game of the year for a reason. I won't bore you with how technically and mechanically beautiful it was, but it was absurdly innovative.
I enjoyed your perspective. This game is one of my all time favorites. The narrative is so amazing.
It was awesome seeing Jin's story about sacrificing your way of life for victory and how it impacts those around you.
The character growth in this game is everything. And the ambiance throughout the whole game was the cherry on top. 20/20 for me. Very emotional , a lot of content , glamour .
This is the game that made me fall in love with Japanese Culture. And I'm kinda surprised that she replies to people
Why are you surprised! I am nothing without you guys!
@@HannaHsOverInvested it's rare for youtubers to reply so that's why. Also thank you for valuing us.
@@HannaHsOverInvested Random fact! Saying ive been watching you for years is ok if you are a youtuber.
If you're into Japanese culture, I highly recommend the movie "The Last Samourai" with Tom Cruise. It's a really nice introduction to the samourai lore and the Way of the Samourai (Nindo). Also for Hannah if you haven't seen it
@@Zackaryel Samurai* I also recommend that movie.
There are moments in the game where you compose haiku or reflect on the events of the story while soaking in a hot spring. It gives you some of that internal monologue you’re looking for.
I really enjoy the way you piece things together through a storyteller's eye. Would also be interesting if you talked about some of the longer trailers in terms of heroes journeys that you see, or story acts.
I always love watching your reactions! I grew up watching my older brother gaming which then lead to me gaming. I really enjoy seeing your perspective, because as a gamer, I think to myself "Wow, I didn't even THINK of that!" Keep being a bad ass!
Just recently found your channel and have been enjoying your content a lot. This was an instant click for me.
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The inner turmoil of the main character is so much deeper than what your imagining. Honestly one of the best story driven games to come out lately. The ending will make you cry, depending on your choice of course
I am really happy for you Hannah and you are my fav channel now because it feels like I am hanging out with you and not just watching a vid please don't change :)
Thank you so much!!
There are plenty playthroughs you can watch to get the full game experience as well as a few that have no commentary I believe. Watching the no commentary ones will make the game feel more like a movie. I highly recommend watching the game for its story.
I dig your channel. Your reactions/reviews are always interesting. I like the background to your videos, gives a vibe of hanging out with a friend.
Thank you!!!
The fact this is running real time and impressed you visually says a lot about Sony ip
thanks!
@@HannaHsOverInvested lol what you thank him for . You didn't understand what he said did you? Lmao
@@nademhijaze9931 well did you onderstand why she thankt him? Please dont be mean to people who are thankfull for others who enjoy thiere content
@@MrRovag nice English
@@nademhijaze9931 why thanks :) it can be hard when you are not a native speaker
I like that we have channel in-jokes and memes now like Yennefer's "I want everything".
HAHAH I try to use it wherever I can. I was laughing after cause I knew I would put it in there.
#FatStick
@@Andrew-pr9xv HAHAHAHAH HOW COULD I FORGET!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've got to find a way to have a section of the comments that's just you guys lol. I wish CZcams could do that.
@@HannaHsOverInvested
You could start a Patreon account... you could let people vote on topics for your to react to, maybe?
idk why, but I am not comfortable with having a patreon now. I think its cause I have so many projects on the go and that would be adding to it.
I must say that you are one of my favorit youtubers to watch. as some one that grew up with videogames and still play its fun to see some one that did not grow up with it explore this wierd world of video games
Hej hej👋
Thank you so much!!!
Wow, you have really blown up! I am really glad I found your channel, it’s a nice change of pace from any other sort of content :)
Thank you so much!
Just finished this game and this makes me want to play again lol....The story was excellent showing Jin's struggle going against a strict samurai code that he was raised into while trying to save his people. Cool thing is most of the game allows you stylistically to play as the Ghost ninja style or traditional face to face samurai sword/bow combat.
I found you due to the TF2 video but you are genuinely funny! Keep it up!
Thank youuuu! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was awesome! Great intro to new subs as well. I hope you do the 18 minute gameplay presentation of Ghost of Tsushima, it concisely illustrates what the majority of the game will feel like as well as highlighting special features. It really sold the game to most people who were on the fence.
Also, not sure if already mentioned but, the real life island of Tsushima created a donation page to repair a Tori gate shrine that was damaged in a storm and gamers found out and showed their support with well over the fund raising goal. A story worth looking up!
Yoooo! I saw from your "Non-gamer watches" playlist that you watch cinema therapy too. Love those guys.
I have just found them and am OBSESSED. Omg the Zootopia one was unreal. I wish I was there talking to them about twilight. Or that it was done post midnight sun. I mean it's still garbage. But it's I thought as bad as they made it out to be. It was pretty rough😅
Its a really dope game. You play as the “Ghost”. Decisions you make in game affect the ending you get.
Serendipity brought me here, and I'm glad. The rabbit hole is vast and that's what getting trapped in the Web is all about. I enjoy the content you share because much of it is new to me also. Sharing is caring and thx for taking the time to make these Wegeos...FIUYO!!
🌟😎🌟
You are most welcome!
i really love your channel and am leaving this comment for the algorithm. Also your book just arrived and i am very excited to read it once i have finished the books i am currently reading, 1984 and some old horror stories, and the ones i am reading for school, the great gatsby and Fist. So guess ill start it in two months lol.
haha thank you so much! I hope you love the book. 1984 was dark. I got a little scared and stopped reading haha. Too creepy.
I've been watching you for couple weeks now, never saying a word. Now however I must express how happy I got CZcams algorithm'd to your channel. You're amazing person and I hope one day you'll start understanding gaming culture. What's it''s about - what, where,why and so on. It's hard for me to write that as usually I prefer observing, analysing people. But you made me speak - so - continue on your quest to understand all types of games, see the epics, the tragedy, the happiness and enjoy :) That's all I want you to see. Oh! And enjoy yourself doing it! Vast majority of gaming community (and specific games subcommunities) are very welcoming and I'm sure TONS of us (even here in the comment section) would love to show you around :D .
You just reminded me to find time to finish this game, its really stunning and I wish I had more time to play games
Hi came across your channel and watched the video found it absolutely brilliant so subscribed and this game is so beautiful I’ve already completed it and now playing again keep up the awesome work and thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching!
@@HannaHsOverInvested your very welcome
This is one of my favorite games. Very well made.
For a lot of these story based games there are people who will play the game as cinematically as possible and post videos of it so non gamers can watch and enjoy the game/story without having to actually play. I'd totally watch you react to those
Wipe Transitions that utilize objects in the scene to shift to another scene area always super cool.
A lot of games do have redemption arcs or feature characters changing over the course of time, although I haven’t played Ghost I really love your videos and seeing video games viewer through the eyes of someone who doesn’t play them. I really love seeing your reactions to games cause they’re just so fun and down to earth
I got giddy watching it with you😂 the game is dope I played it. It's like a movie it sucks you in. And the score and soundtrack👌
Sakai Jin is the character. Written as 境井 仁 his name Jin (仁) uses the kanji for the word benevolence. In Japanese one name can have many different meanings depending on which kanji is chosen to write the name. In the Japanese language the family name always come before the given name and people will call others by their family names unless they are close friends at which point it is okay to call someone by their given name.
Ghost of Tsushima is based on real historical events where the Mongols invaded Tsushima Island Japan in the 1200s.
The protagonist Jin Sakai was orphaned at a young age and raised by his uncle (the opening monolog guy). Jin was taught the way of samurai which is to fight with honor and respect. But when Jin sees the Mongols are exploiting the samurai's honorable way of war, he begins to abandon his samurai code, and starts to do whatever it takes to defend his home by assassinating and poisoning the enemies.
That's why his uncle said "if you keep going down this path, you will be no better than the Mongols." And Jin's like "I am samurai, but I will sacrifice everything (including my honor) for my home."
Thanks for the info!!
@@HannaHsOverInvested BTW, the Mongol leader that you said looked familiar, here is a link of youtube clip, I think that's where you knew him from: czcams.com/video/4yKjTW8Kk8c/video.html
hahaha
Your thoughts on how a book covering this was a really unique and interesting perspective. I don't think I'd get that from any other channel.
Thank you!! That is such high praise!
@10:00 thats basically how you play (almost) all games
it's not always push button to kill, or to swing though :P
Oh okay! hahahah thank you. I feel like I should have made that connection before. I don't know why it just occurred to me now. I must have known that at some point in my life.... I played Mario Cart... once.
This has been one of the best story games i’ve ever played. About a protagonist who strays from the old way of thinking and adopts a more modern way of thinking in order to protect his people. Someone who is willing to sacrifice anything to save everyone, complete selflessness. As you can probably guess it’s an amazing story which challenges you to think about right and wrong. After the credits rolled in the game i was holding back tears. And the theme song sends shivers through my body. I know in years to come the music will bring strong nostalgia. I know you don’t play the games but after i play masterpieces as good as this i feel bad for all the people who don’t game because they are truly missing out. If u ever decide to start playing games. THIS game is a go to. And i know u said that this would be a great book but understand this: Story games, especially this game is best as a game and not a book or movie because you PLAY the character. In a way you are a part of each other and u feel the things he feels if you get what i mean. And it makes decision making all that more important. Games have a way of story telling that no book or movie can replicate.
Also this game KIND of gives you decisions but ultimately forces u to become the ghost. Which may sound bad but this help the story even more because, like the main character, you constantly fight trying to do dishonourable things but in the end u HAVE to because the honourable thing (which in this game fighting the enemy head on is considered very honourable. killing people from the shadows is seen and disgusting and unfair even if the enemy are evil) won’t work because u are extremely outnumber. That is why jin is called “the ghost” because he is forced to take the dishonourable route. slaughtering the invaders from the shadow. one thing this game does great is. the longer u play as “the ghost” the word spreads around and the enemies hear of u and eventually become terrified. sometimes u won’t have to fight people because they r so scared of the stories of undefeatable ghost they just run and scream. One more thing. In real life, a large amount of the mongal forces were killed in a mysterious storm. as the game goes on there is a storm which hangs near the island. but it’s really the ghost that killed almost everyone. it’s sort of like a fictional “what really happened” type story.
Probably my second favorite game of 2020. It’s visually stunning and the story is above average. There are a lot of technical aspects of the game that are really impressive, and it’s diverse in a lot of ways. The actual opening sequence is is amazing, and the game deserved every game of the year nomination that it got.
I haven’t actually played this game, but the overall history of the mongol invasions on Japan were sooooo interesting to me when I read about it. Take what I say with a grain of salt because I read it so long ago, but the mongols came in with massive armies, Bombs, and superior armor that the Japanese swords could not pierce. The Japanese had to up their game, creating better weaponry and using tactics like jumping onboard the mongol boats and silently massacring entire crews. Ultimately though the killing blow was dealt by bad weather, a typhoon hit the mongol fleet and they were decimated. The vessels they used were not fit for the sea. If I’ve got something wrong please correct me and if you find this interesting I implore you to research it further.
and then the mongols went back and put together another fleet to try again, which may have been the largest attempted naval invasion in history until D-Day, and a second typhoon destroyed the fleet on their way to Japan; that's actually the origin of the term 'kamikaze', which translates to divine wind
The Japanese called the 2 Typhoons that destroyed both Mongol armies (it happened twice) “The divine wind” or in Japanese “Kamikaze”
Idk why, but I love you so much, you videos are so fuc**** good ❤
🤣🤣❤️❤️ thank youuuuu!!!
You get an instant like just for the clap at the start 😁👍🏽
Looks like everyone hit most of the points here in the comment's. Great reaction again. I played through the game twice. Jin's story is very simple but is so impactful because of the pacing and amazing voice acting.
I completed this game thoroughly, wow what an amazing game I was hooked
I just randomly found you one day and decided to stick around hahaha
I am so happy you did.
I'm into the last quarter of MR and I'm glad I bought this after the sequel came out because otherwise I'd be commenting "DAMNIT I NEED MORE OF THIS!" lol
hahah I can only hope you think that again at the end of Dominion Required. And thank you so so much! Please review it everywhere. It really helps me a lot to have reviews on goodreads, Amazon, barnes&noble, everywhere.
Thanks again!
I think you nailed the video sound.
For me its better for the video to be loud than to be quiet.
HUD (Heads Up Display) Explanation!
The thin red bar at the bottom left is your health gauge, it goes down when you get hurt and you die when it runs out.
The black and white diamond to the left is your tool icon. In the video Jin is using a smoke bomb to obscure himself so he can get a stealth kill.
The yellow circles represents Focus, a kind of currency you use to unleash devastating attacks. You can also use it to heal yourself.
5:55 he probably looks familiar because he was in Night at the Museum! He played Attila the Hun
I'm coming in late, but i can say that theres the a tonal change between the environment and the character. But it has to be said that maybe the setting itself, with all its beauty and differences is also a character, but thats a whole conversation I need to actually have the mind for.
This is a war at heart, with very big pauses for Jin's (ghost guy) personal reflection and how the war between the island of tsushima and the Mongol armies are changing him as a warrior and as a person.
I would love for you just to watch through the cutscene movies. You won't get the full picture, but the story is still there. You'll see Jin's transformation from Samurai to Ghost and it is amazing. The brutality and beauty of this game is near uncontested.
When you loose your horse 🐎, man that had me in 😭. A game we waited five years for is absolutely great, ashame the company won't give it more content
you had me at crisis on infinite earths
Felicitaciones como siempre un excelente video, como pensamiento personal lo que hace especial tus videos eres tu no es solo una moda es tu forma de ser, un saludo
Thank you so much for saying that!
You know there is such a thing as "game movies", vids that string the cut scenes together.
Thanks!
@@HannaHsOverInvested you should react to it whole and part them into videos. Or.... Just watch the game movies on YT then do a review. (With that disclaimer in mind obviously...)
I will say, they do an AMAZING job of shared-perspective throughout the game. I found myself thinking the same things as Jin (The main character) and near the end I could pretty much finish his sentences.
That's cool!
Great job!
Thank youuuu!!!!
Nice video!
Thank you!
Bought this game like a week ago but i have to finish witcher 3 before starting this one , can't wait!
Thanks for the video 🙂👍
Fun fact: the game tells you where to go in the world (for side quests, story missions and wherever you’d like to go) by using the wind and following the leaves. That’s why there’s so many leaves. The game wants you to be ‘immersed’ with as little waypoints and explanation as possible (not everybody’s cup of tea though). Ride with the wind, Vengeful Spirit!
I would love to go back and have a blank slate on all the games I have played over the years, so many great experiences, RDR2, GoT and Batman Arkham City are some of my favourite in media I wish I could relive again
I had this game since it came out, but only a few days I finally played it, loved it and playing again with new game+ on the harder difficulty, using the Kurosawa mode and English subbed
the red line at bottom left is your life, the yellow circles are for healing yourself and special moves. the L1 + R1 is super move. the symbol right next to it is smoke bomb
"Luck is when talent meets preparation." I don't know bro, I was hung over last week and had the bubbleguts at work, hit the bowl and ended up sneezing and luckily didn't shit my pants. Talent and preparation had nil to do with that lol.
I recall that Khotun Khan's actor is the same as Attila the Hun at Night at the Museum.
About the game's combat system, it mixes both stealth and action. Out of that, it is a wide open world with many places to visit, make photos, do some haikus (poetry), honor sanctuaries, help Jin's friends with their sidequests, help the innocent with some tasks, collect flowers to get some skins, etc. It is quite enjoyable to play in many aspects. So beautiful and moving.
Love that movie.
Hey Hannah, if you look up Ghost of Tsushima movie or something like that, someone probably have cut the games scenes together in a movie format. Definitely worth the watch. First video I have watched of you. Keep it up!
Couldnt concentrate on the yt video cause my mind paused on the fern gully poster. Love that movie 👍
It's so good!!!
Love ya! You are awesome!
Thank youuuu
John wicks director confirmed a Ghost of tsushima movie, so yeah I can't wait
ive been watching your videos, and i bestow you my highest honor, allowing ads to show from your channel.
Haha thank you!!
The character that talks to the main character at 5:55 is actually Patrick Gallagher an actor that is best known as his role as Attila the Hun in the Night At The Museum movies.
This game absolutely wrecked me emotionally on at least 3 occasions. I've played games for almost 40 years and this is the absolute best I've ever played.
Nice video hahahaha this is one of the coolest games of 2020. But I'm still waiting the UNCHARTED video!
When you mentioned loving the transtitions, I immediately thought of the Warframe cinematic Intro.
It was released a year or two ago I believe, and I'd advise checking it out as some of the camera work is amazing. Also there is a good boy in the cinematic.
Thanks!!
Just announced that they ARE making a ghosts of Tsushima movie!
‘redemption arcs, do games even have those?’ oh my sweet summer child...
I made an SJW shirt after enough people called me that. Now I need an SSC one cause you are about the hundredth person to call me that 🤣🤣

Such a good game! I’m playing it right now. My entire first playthrough is in Kurosawa Mode (black and white, tons of film grain etc.)
