Non, je ne regrette rien


I like that a lot of the recent generation games have added adaptive or minimized HUD options. It lets you have all that information when necessary while still being able to appreciate the graphics and the game world without a bunch of clutter on top of it.

The amount of times you can cheese tough enemies in GoW by knocking then off a small incline which is apparently instant death is pretty hilarious.

Still really hoping PS5 has an activity log. It kind of irks me that Sony has this information of all our play times but the only way we ever get to find out is at the end of the year and it's only for like our top 3 games.

The risks (embarassing publishers) probably outweigh the rewards for Sony

Edit: my bad, was thinking you meant system-wide stuff, not personal info

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
I love Ghost of Tsushima so much, maybe my favorite open world game, but I am going to rant about something silly for a moment.

The traveller's attire should not exist. Everything it does should be the default. For what I want out of this game and how I prioritize activities, I have ended up wearing the travelers armor for 97% of my playtime. All the armor that does cool stuff relegated to the bin because revealing the map is all I crave. Read somewhere that doing all the mongol strongholds reveals the entire map, so going to try doing that now that I got to act 3, but that's... still kinda lame to be honest if it's true. Combat's so easy that I don't exactly miss the benefits but eh, it would be cooler.

I agree but it’s also my favourite one aesthetically (with the white dye) so I would wear it all the time anyway

Finishing the game reveals all the remaining mongol strongholds and finishing those reveals all the map.

yea i sort of felt the same way about the travellers attire but with strongholds revealing a a large radius around them and the foxes and birds guiding you neat places frequently ive ditched it for something more combat oriented

I never used the traveler's attire after I got better stuff unless I was actively searching for collectibles, it's not necessary.

I use the Sekai clan armor and I'm jacked to the gills with combat oriented charms. Just about everyone I fight dies to me hitting a couple heavy attacks to break their guard then a couple quick attacks. Duels will still gently caress me up though.

What about it is not open-world? It's a single zone with outer boundaries but otherwise no limitations on where you can go. Sometimes there are a couple distinct zones.

Yeah it's a better open-world because it's smaller. Everything is crammed into a small area so you don't need to wander across a map for half an hour.

Still an open-world game.
