    • @SemenTheSailor
      @SemenTheSailor Před 2 lety +6

      Ghost of Tsushima is incredible, but GOAT? I don’t know about that. Have you played Red Dead Redemption 2? Red dead 2 was the best game I’ve ever played. The gameplay is fun but can get repetitive, but god damn the story. It’s so well acted, I got so emotionally invested in Arthur. I really fell in love with his character. The relationships feel real, the love, the betrayal, the hope and despair. It moved me to tears. I personally don’t see anything topping RDR2 for me in a long time.
      But for me RDR2, Ghost of Tsushima, Elden Ring, Breath of the Wild, Bloodborne, The Last of Us 1 & 2, God of War PS4, Portal 2, Witcher 3, Journey, Stardew Valley, Minecraft, Dark Souls 3 and maybe Skyrim are in my opinion the essential, must play games.

The prosthetic is very dope and Don’t get me wrong I love the perfect deflect rhythm you get into with sekiro- but nioh 2s combat system is soooo much more in depth. There’s like 7 weapons and each weapon has its own unique moveset you can unlock- and the depth of the skill trees for each weapon is insane. The combat system in nioh 2 is way more in depth and has more replay value simply for the fact you can try so many different weapon combinations (you can rock two at once and intertwine them as you please). Also in nioh 2 when you go into NG+ it mixes up a lot of the enemies so it’s not the same old same old- there’s actual new experiences with different enemies with new move sets.
      Nioh 2 is just a beautiful game and this is coming from someone that loves all from soft games.

      @@user-zx3eo9qr9x I typed up a long ass reply to explain why the nioh 2 system is better but CZcams glitched and I guess the comment disappeared lol..
      Quick summary- nioh 2’s combat is just more in depth. I love sekiro don’t get me wrong- but nioh 2 has like 11 weapon types plus bows / rifles / hand cannons, and each weapon has its own unique skill tree that is very deep and each weapon therefore has its own moveset. Nioh 2 has more replay ability as well considering theres always many new weapons / weapon combos to use since you can rock two weapons at once and seamlessly switch weapons mid fight so fast.
      Meanwhile sekiro is one weapon with a handful of techniques to apply.. don’t get me wrong I love the rhythm you get into with perfect deflects and finding attack windows… also the prosthetic arts are super cool.. but if we’re talking depth Nioh 2 has got sekiro beat.
      I love both games and they are very different so it’s hard to compare but nioh 2s combat has way more variety and depth.
      Not sure if you’ve played nioh 2 but I highly recommend if you haven’t.
      (Also nioh 2’s NG+ system is one of the best systems for NG+ you will ever see. Some Enemies switch locations and have new move sets so it keeps things fresh and new for repeated playthrus. Also the fact you unlock the rarest weapon / armor rarity after you beat the game for the first time so you have that much more to grind for in NG+)

    Red Ninja: End of Honor was FAR from a perfect game (especially when it comes to camera manipulation) but it was truly innovative and beautiful for it's time and is more than deserving of a next-gen revival. With the power of today's consoles within their reach, it would be interesting to see how far these devs could expand upon the unique battle and stealth mechanics and even the AI that made this game stand out from it's contemporaries at that time...

They don't show much respect for the classic 8 and 16-bit eras as you saw he just grazed over the Nes trilogy of Ninja Gaiden games (nothing against the newer ones).

      The problem IS that Yakuza is a gangster not a warrior like Samurai.

    You have no idea how long I've been waiting for a new Tenchu game. One of the lost Gems of previous generations

    in bushido blade 2 you could behead people and all kind of different stuff, and there was a ton of different weapons and stances and it was just really cool.

    Way of the samurai is an incredible series and it’s sad it hasn’t had another entry. One of my favorites of all time. It was hard as hell too.

      What are you saying? WOTS constantly has sequels being produced. There are 4 mainline games and a couple spin-offs. Wouldn't be surprised to see another one here in the next couple years.
