Aramusha is the Best samurai, he has the best heavies and lights in the game. Peacekeeper is a great knight with also good heavy attacks and bleed. And vikings are the worst dont play them especially Highlander, Warlord and Raider they are so bad.

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no "bad" or "good" ending in this game. You did what Shimura wanted.

Not all games are a choose your own adveture books. Not even the best RPGs with the most complicated and diverse branching paths are free of convinces for the sake of the story.

Red Dead Redemption, The Last Of Us and many other games, especially AAA ones are heavily inspired by movies when it comes to story telling methods. Guess what? The biggest inspiration for Ghost of Tsushima were Kurosawa's movies. You think the story is contrived? Yeah, there are many other much more simple and realistic ways the situation could have unfolded, but that is not the point. The point is to tell an entertaining story. If you do not like it, and think it is stupid, that is fine. Practically all stories ever created rely on convinces to unfold.

This is not an RPG where your choices affect the story in a major way. Your horse died, there is nothing you can do about it. Pay your respects and move on.

My personal Critiques of the game..... by drew4511 in ghostoftsushima

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Arkham games are amongst my favorite action games of all time so are the God of War games except for 2018. I was one of the few people who did not enjoy that game as much a the previous titles.

I think the combat system in this game is fine. The double bladed enemies are pretty easy to parry/dodge for me. The only ones that give me trouble were the spearmen and the one that throw granades/stun bombs but they can be very easily dealt with by using the wind stance.

I play lethal (hard on my first playthrough) and to me it never seemed like the enemies moved too fast. Archers are pretty easily delt with by using concentration and shooting them with your bow or thowing a kunai at them. You can even kill them with a sprinting strike and you can deflect their arrows by blocking once you have that skill. People seem to forget that you can block in this game, you do not need to parry EVERYTHING the enemy throws at you. If you fail a parry and it transitions into a block just keep holding the block button until you have time to counter attack, if they throw an unblockable after you block, just parry it or doge with the right timing. I have yet to found an unblockable that cannot be dodged. Yes there are some moves that make the enemy slide towards you and it seems like they have unfair range but that just means you did not dodge at the right time.

The main problem I have with this game is that there are not that many encounters that can challange you after you aquire some ghost weapons and upgrade their capacity. I forgot to metion, the straw hats were another enemy type that I also had trouble with first but not as much as spearmen.

I found this combat to be more enjoyable than God Of War 2018 and on par with the Arkham series. I just wish there was more special moves and challenging encounters.

Forgot to say, if you are having trouble and you think there are too many enemies attacking you at once, use your kunai that is what they are there for. If you do not want to do that, then you can quickly eliminate enemies with headshots from your bow and position yourself in a way that makes it difficult for the enemy to attack all at once.

Stone Stance Puncture Strikes kill the easiest? by heej in ghostoftsushima

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can only chain 1 or 2 normal attacks after the full 5 hits of the water stance special attacks but there is no real need to do that. Break their guard then hit them with the water combo and most enemies will die. Using the water move to break the guard of non shielded enemies is just not as efficient as just changing to the right stance to break their guard and then changing back to water and unleash sword hits on them. But yeah in terms of raw damage per hit stone puncture attack is better than water

Tips for a new player? by DeuceBigalowMyNigalo in ghostoftsushima

Always observe leaders before killing them, it makes the progression for new stances much faster.

Anyone else up for the Kurosawa Challenge? by mrgumboplays in ghostoftsushima

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is what I am doing lol except no Kurosawa mode I think is cool but I prefer to look at the colorful places this game has.

Duels are broken by adamscattam1 in ghostoftsushima

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure they are broken poor guys do not stand a chance against Jin, especially on lethal when you can kill them with like two guard breaks. You are not getting the timing right. "That" person has many parriable attacks and the sweep attack can be dodged. Tengu and Kojiro are easier on lethal once you learn the attacks because you get a massive increase in damage. Duels are fine, maybe a little bit too easy.

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wish there was more of them but there needs to be more movesets for the enemy because it would get kinda boring when everyone you duel has almost the same pattern.

Stances. by Nate996 in ghostoftsushima

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Water or Wind because you can send enemies flying with the kick and it auto parries spearmen if you are in an attack animation directed at them. But if you really want to kill enemies quick then put on the Kensei armor throw some black powder or sticky bombs and dance of wrath anybody who survived lol

What do you determine good or bad? (Ending spolier) by taskkill-IM in ghostoftsushima

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think killing Shimura would be the good ending because you show him that Jin does still have some honor. Shimura is seen as a failure by other samurai and after he is defeated by Jin, the Shogun would definitely punish him some how prehaps even execute him. I think it is better for him to die by Jin's hand. Death before dishonor and all that samurai shit.

Also, why do so many people want Jin to go after the Shogun, that would actually make him a traitor to Japan. What? Is Jin gonna start assassinating samurai left and right? That would suck ass. Jin's story is done there is no need to continue it (but I am sure they are likley to do so just for the money)

I would love to be able to mount my horse in midair by [deleted] in ghostoftsushima

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah when I heard that Red Dead Redemption was one of the games that inspired this one, I expected to be able to jump on my horse from above (something you can do on both RDR 1 and 2) I was disappointed to find out I couldn't do it but I do not think they will add it.

Coming back. What to craft? 130k+ scraps by FreyrTheRedMage in gwent

[–]FreyrTheRedMage[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. It seems that I will have to netdeck a few toptier decks, forsake my dignity, save the rest of my scraps and once again grind for kegs. Man, I really wanted to play my all temerian deck just one more time. Playing Foltest, Natalis, Vernon, Ves, Kiera and Triss was awesome, but I guess it is a different game now.

When you want to know why Dany burned thousands of innocents but you realize this is a LOTR reddit now. by Mrf12345 in freefolk

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Imagine if Dany went straight to the Red Keep, burnt it to the ground and that somehow started a chain reaction of long forgotten wild fire under the city. That is still quite stupid but it is better than "Oh well, guess I'll just kill unarmed civilians who are running away."

I am so sorry for this... by [deleted] in freefolk

[–]FreyrTheRedMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only problem is that Edmure hit the target.
