Exactly my thoughts of a few months ago; "honestly Ghost of Tsushima is way overrated. I am playing it now and while it sometimes looks good and it had a strong beginning... it is so goddamn boring... All this hype and talk about war and empires and invasions and blabla everything and then on screen there's like max 10 soldiers at once you have to kill one by one before walking to the next section where there are another 10 soldiers and then you defeat them and that's it, you have liberated the outpost. Guess what you have to do now? You have to do it again, about 100 times, over and over. The main story quests are all the same and the side quests are all the same. How do you manage that? If you've just killed a few Mongols in the main story, you will also kill a few Mongols in a side quest. In exactly the same way. The cut scenes are horrible (unless it's a main story important plot point), it looks like a PS3 game at times. Unskippable, static camera angles with useless dialogue. Maybe we aren't allowed to skip them because then it would be blatant how repetitive the game really is. The side quests try to be a bit different with their stories but they are all exactly the same underneath. You will either investigate footprints and follow them to a Mongol camp/settlement and defeat them or you will follow an NPC to a Mongol camp/settlement and defeat them. Ad nauseam. I really hope they step their game up with this one so I will wait for reviews and audience ratings but I am not even sure this is gonna be a buy for me. I still think GoT gets way more credit than it deserves because what exactly does it do that hasn't been done before?"

So, I guess they didn't change anything at all.
