I read it in Yamato's voice, good writing.

Thank you! I'm hoping to make writing a career someday and figured why not write a thingy about perhaps the best scene in the whole game.

This is bad ass bro...

If we got a second game about like the second mongol invasion where there was even more mongols I hope we play as someone else than Jin and we can find Yamato telling us of this legendary technique in that game

ありがとう！ Your comment means a lot to us in the west. We are so happy to know that the Japanese have embraced the story of Jin.

that's so fucking true, there was such a shift in encounter after this point, i never felt on the defense like I did prior, I was dancing around them after yarikawa

I've just got to Act III tonight, omg I cried, grieving my horse. My Nobu 🐎💔😥

Yeah, before I was like "y'know what Khan? I'll liberate a few villages and them get to ya", but after THAT happened I was changed. I began burning those who'd run away. I had finally started to use my poison more, equipping both Yuriko's Keepsake charms for that chance that I could possibly extend the suffering of an enemy scum, and when I finally got to the Khan, I let out the rage of all of Tsushima in the flaming Ghost Stance, beheading him and forever pissing on his memory by letting the spoiled wannabe burn along with his pathetic empire.

@@itzmrinyy7484 SAME! After the bastards killed my horse and made me cry all night. I naturally found myself using flaming arrows, explosives, and poison a lot more often. #ForYarikawa

Totally right!!! After this mission everything changed. I've got my platinum and Damn whan an AMAZING GAME. Starting second gameplay in kurosawa cinematics+lethal mode

@@Kishisuke ahh god, literally yesterday I picked the spare Shimura option. That stung like a viper but I couldn't bring myself to make Jin kill his only family left...

@@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594 yes.. Both endings hurt u so bad But i choose spare option coz jin is not a monster who kills his own family to survive and also half the story we dedicated to save shimura and jin wont kill his family after all that he went through Plus remember ishikawa sensei warned us about this early by saying "family is important jin and pls dont become like me or let the ghost consume u" Its a hint about what jin would decide in the end This story is about jin becoming the ghost Only if u choose spare option he wears the ghost mask and fully turns into ghost and walks away If u choose kill u r making jin follow the same old samurai customs he thought as not enough to save his ppl He doesnt wear the mask either in that cutscene And he killed his only family for his survival in a selfish and following honour path like a samurai So spare is the right one if u ask me Tho i made two saves when the choice appears to get the white outfit for ghost I just keep those two saves But my main save is spare option And i got platinum in 4 days bcoz i was able to use the backup save to get some combat trophies which i cant do much once i liberate the whole island

Kis Kun well written 👌🏽thank you..

This game is gonna make history in 2020 and deserves honor

And this is the first moment i truly felt like a ghost

In infamous you were always someone special but in GOT you build your character from basically zero

Bro I never thought about it like that! I definitely agree with this!

Yeah the speech was SO INCREDIBLE. I feel some "critics" would fault this for "being too cliche" too "predictable" or "not innovative" When in reality, I think that doesn't matter. Cause it was EXECUTED amazingly. And also, Suckerpunch probably wanted it to feel like a "cliche" even though that word has a bad connotation. Since this game was a love letter to the legendary "Kurosawa" samurai film.

Yes.

Just finished this part.... Game of the Year contender hands down.

I don’t know which is better: The siege of Yarikawa or The battle for Castle Shimura.

M1 Health Potion Imo the castle shimura battle. It was the first time in a while since I had started the game that I felt like a Samurai again. Really cool siege

You got that right

Hmmm... it can be taken both as an attack and a stance. An attack that give you the power to kill three people in one hit or a stance that use the enemy’s fear as a weapon. You use this stance and the enemy is immediately feared of you. They don’t even attack when it’s activated

The Stance of the Ghost, would be epic if at the End we discovered that was Yamato telling us the story for all the time. Just think that Jin story isn't real he is a fìctional character and Yamato is telling a Legend like another.....unless?

gives me the chills

I dubbed it the "BRUH" stance. It's so brutal people gets freaked out.

Yamato’s story time of the legendary ghost stance. GREATEST WARRIOR OF ALL TIME.....the end

"You say you are not soldiers.......you are WARRIORS"

For Yarikawa!

Well he didn't say that he wouldn't kill them.

because people don't believe in word, they trust the fact, and the fact is that The Ghost and the people of Yarikawa saved the city not the Shogun or Lord Shimura.

That hapen for the samurai code, that is for his... Rigidity and no samurai exept who die in that beach can see it.

Ghost Blaster Except a Yarikawa samurai literally asks you who tf you are when you sneak into Yarikawa and the clan Yarikawa still runs Yarikawa. He is literally called “samurai” in the subtitles.

@@khalidibnal-walid2929 yes but i think it was a fresh samurai not a veteran.

Rob Fus You don’t just magically become a samurai. Yarikawa probably didn’t help Shimura because they don’t even like Shimura. So what few samurai they did have probably were never at the beach. It’s a waste of time talking to you people anyway. Most of you don’t even know the most famous “ninja” in Japanese history was a samurai named Hanzo Hattori. I’ve said it 8 million times and you’re all still running around chanting the slogan of a fictional character who didn’t exist.

“I think” the man be pissed

"I think" I'm with the mongols on this one. Jin is scary as shit late game, especially with the addition of poison.

This moment made me think of when Goku went Super Saiyan for the very first time in Dragonball Z. I had goosebumps the whole time on both occasions.

Mongol Empire: exists Jin Sakai: *_PRESS ☐ TO SLAUGHTER_*

"RUN COWARDS"

Literally the moment I killed Temuge and Jin began rallying the people of Yarikawa to chase out the Mongols, my jaw dropped. There was just something so amazing rallying the people and counterattacking the fleeing Mongols, slicing them up and screaming at them to run.

@Shuajo X-The whole story mission made me super excited for what was going to happen, and that part, it was beautifully put together. *SUCKER PUNCH MADE A GAME OF THE YEAR WITH THAT STORY MISSION!!*

*HOO BOY* Edit: lol I kept saying the same thing "bravo SuckerPunch, bravo.." At the end of the game and after killing the khan

@@Killzoneguy117 I KNOW RIGHT?? oh my god I know the story is about Jin, but the game made me feel so immersed that I FELT like I was really there. Cheering with everyone, rallying, ready to free this town of the mongols. So epic.

The ending was better for me.

Not boss music... Ghost music....

I think they know why lol

Yes this boss music alright

**sees a man slice 3 of your best men's heads off** "Ohhh.... *shit.* RUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!! H$LY F#$CK!?!?!"

I mean not to be the party pooper but a lot of games introduce new mechanics in a game the same way the ghost stance was introduced. it's a lot better to introduce a new game mechanic through the narrative than just telling you how to use it

@@gotworc Press X to Sean.

It's 2020 so it's not to hard to be one of the games of the decade xD It's a good game but there is many flaws imo

@@grandmac6557 Many flaws as in animations right? Cause that's really it haha.

@@Oogwayne Not exactly. The game is very repetitive (foxes, camps, lighthouses ...), too many objects to find, the AI is totally stupid, the side quests are basic and not very interesting (apart from a few), the stealth is average (too bad for a game called Ghost of Tsushima ...), the climbing is not great, the interiors are almost all the same (when you know Red dead or Ac Unity it's really disappointing), the story is good but it's not a crazy thing in my opinion, the physics of the game are ridiculous and apart from Jin I find the characters not very memorable. That's just my opinion of course. For me the two real qualities of the game are the artistic direction and the sword fighting.

The I Need A Shit stance... but I'm stood in the middle of a Temple surrounded by peasants and priests and no bathroom.

Alexander Aaron no

@@dgregory79 this made me laugh more than it should

Underrated comment

We need a Fire Stance to complete it but I guess the Way of the Flame will have to do.

don’t even remember the time i had this goosebump moment. i think the last was when i played the original god of war

bruh my nipples got hard reading this comment.

I remember Jin, after killing all of the Mongols by the catapults and burning them down, was just glaring at the Mongols that had broken through. And he just looked at them as if they just cattle waiting for slaughter, and the tone in his voice conveyed as much. You could tell that he was getting bloodthirsty at that point, and just barely holding it together. Upon beating the Mongol Commander and beheading him, Jin could no longer contain his bloodlust and fury, and the terror in the eyes and actions of the enemies only added to it in a way that gave me goosebumps (and that hasn't happened in a long, long time for me). Chasing the Mongols out of Yarikawa was an invigorating experience that I won't forget for a long time. Sucker Punch gave us a GOTY game, and its one of the best experiences I've had on the console.

@@BDL3035 Not GOTY but GOTG Game Of The Generation.

Thileepan IR I write for a living since 2016 and this is the best compliment I’ve gotten to anything I wrote in 4 years. Thank you.

Even the samurai archers of yarikawa were rooting for the ghost 🔥

You can also hear shoguns being mad about him doing that and that he is not a true samurai

Yeah, and if you think about it, Jin's definition of "honor" was to protect people who couldn't fight for themselves, to help those who cannot help themselves. And, in the end, that is exactly what he did. So, Jin never lost his "honor", it's just that he mended the code to protect his people.

@@cosmic2750 And yet... Jin betrayed his Uncle and Shogun for the sole reason staying true to his own view of honor. I think Jin would understand at the end that the most important honor is one's own peception of it. Not a generalized conceptualization of it. It's kinda interesting to think about

Nice 🫡

hello doppio ily

He stood against and entire army of the mongols and reclaimed it back. And in doing so he instilled fear in the hearts of his enemies and gave hope to the people of his nation

Even Doppio likes Ghost of Tsushima

Does he say that they are soldiers but warriors because soldiers are people fighting for a government like samurai when people like Jin fight for their beliefs and own honour?

What meaning of Shogun ....president or leader?

@@markocokmarkocok5270 In the old days, there was the Emperor and there was the Shogun (which basically means military dictator). The Emperor at the time only held nominal power (in name only) and the Shogun had all power.

@@milksteaven4559 thanks man...i though Shogun was regular samurai

Markocok Markocok A shogun is a samurai BUT also the leader. Samurai is a very umbrella term describing shogun down to daimyo and down to their retainers too. Anyone who follows the Bushido code is a samurai. But not all samurais are created equal.

@@markocokmarkocok5270 A Shogun is literally a military dictator.

I loved that part man

very nice point you put here the metaphor that the mountain will give way to thw waterfall that is the stance if Jin, the ghost.

Therefore, the best thing is to be honorable to your allies and instill fear onto your enemies.

I... Did he?

He at least did not cut his head immediately.

I interpreted it as Jin not being fully aware at first at how much his presence and reputation as the ghost had affected the mongols but he senses potential in this moment that a new weapon in his arsenal to repel the invasion is at his fingertips so he toils around for a bit for this tugging of inspiration to reveal itself in the form of: The Ghost Stance

I see it as him slowly realizing that he's become an individual of legend, a person they'd tell tales about, and even though it means abandoning his code, by slaughtering the leader he fully embraces that identity.

That's a great interpretation

Brilliant observation there. I noticed the change in tempo and instruments too, but didn't quite think of it the way you described it.

Your username for some reason perfectly fits your comment and would look conpletely normal if you inclided it in and I don't know why.

@@MarcoAdventures Thanks, good to know I truly live up to my name.

That's an awesome interpretation tbh, and now thinking about it, its true. Crazy how music can tell a story more than the story itself. In our era, it seems that music speaks louder than words.

For real, usually from these kinds of games you’d expect the odd arm or leg to be cut of because well they are using katanas, but this point in the game basically shows that Jin basically turns off his limiter in a way

Ye, in ghost stance Jin goes pretty batshit, chopping arms legs and everything.

You can dismember limbs with the heavenly strike before getting to this part

@@dragonkamran didn't saw that happen in my playthrough sadly

from what i know, holding back your sword is a part of swordsmanship in ancient japan. so knowing that Jin just stopped limiting himself for the ghost stance really shows how powerful he is.

There where two mongol invasions of tsushima, so maaaaybe...

@@Sozillect It doesn't even have to do anything with Tsushima. It could be something else in feudal Japan. Japan's feudal history like sengoku jidai for example has a lot of war which you could easily make a story based on real events.

@@WhiteFang103 Yeah you're right, I think it could be the story of Tomoe too, I think it would be cool

@@WhiteFang103 like Sekiro?

So, Jin is Batman?

Yes indeed. That's because even the mongols were not prepared to see such brutality from jin. They were already taken aback when jin defeated temuge but then when he slaughtered him, they were just scared to death

Cringe.

@@TheGamerFlixtv that would not make much sense seeing as he completes his mission in tsushima, it'd be better for him to dissapear along with yuna and for their deeds and heroic abilites to become mythic quests in a new game

@@viiem2876 yeah true but what if yuna and jin had a son and jin disappeared in one of his missions and haven’t come in years and when the son grows up yuna his mom dies with the rest of the people in his village and her final words were to find your father find the ghost so he goes to search for jin and when he finds him jin teaches him the way of the ghost and then the son kills everyone who was involved with killing yuna and those that helped slaughter his village

Last of Us 2 is a masterpiece in itself

Yeah I haven't felt this way since the "Art of Conversation" mission on Red Dead Redemption 2

@@bhida4820 it has lots of flaws though. It felt to me as if Neil Druckmann wanted the story to go a certain way, HIS way. And he was too narcissistic to see it any other. I mean two parts that really made no sense to me were two of the BIGGEST parts. 1.) The reason Joel died was because he walked into a dark house FULL of strangers UNARMED? Makes no sense for the character of Joel. He probably would have told Tommy to shut up and stop giving their names back in the snow when they saved Abby. It was just really lazy imo and disrespectful to the character of Joel. 2.) The second one for me was when Ellie went for Abby A SECOND TIME. It made absolutely no sense to me. I understand that Ellie has PTSD from what happened and but it just made no sense. Dina was pregnant in the first part but no baby bump, so that means there is a minimum of AT LEAST 9 months between the first Abby encounter and the 2nd one. But JJ has a full head of hair and is quite big so he's probably already 1 years old. That means that almost 2 years have passed. When Tommie comes in he tells her that Abby is all the way in another STATE. I mean, at that point I was done. I was already finished, cause I thought the farm scene was the end (I was kinda over the game at this point) Butttt nope. Gotta go after Abby. And I was kinda irritated that she just cut her down from the ropes. No words just a longg walk to the beach AND then Ellie starts a fight. I can understand that. I mean, from an honourable POV (although I was just kinda hoping Ellie would shoot Abby on the spot. Actually, now that I think of it it would have been great if we had the choice to shoot Abby on the pole or to spare her. The spare her could have given us some great dialogue but back to the point) BUT, after a very lengthy and honestly sickening fight (I didnt get any enjoyment out of watching a skinny woman with a hole in her side beating the shit out of another equally frail woman who I just cut down from a pole) she DOESNT EVEN KILL HER. It just felt like all of that time, all of MY time. For nothing.. And tbh? I would have been okay with that. I WOULD have. But Naughty dogs marketing campaign, was DISGUSTING. They straight up tricked me and EVERYONE else They literally took the time to swap out the older character models of Joel and Ellie. It was scummy af. I would have been a lot more okay with the game if the trailers were actually truthful. 6/10 for me (due to the scummy marketing) 7.5/10 actually, maybe an 8/10 yeah. 8/10 because credit should be given where credit is due. The graphics? AMAZING. The scenery was just so beautiful and gave us a taste of next gen which I have to commend (also I'm a Washington boy lol) the blood in the snow, the character models, the facial animations, all were the best of the ps4 generation (graphicswise) I mean so yeah that's basically it: 1.) Best Graphics of PS4 generation 2.)Extremely realistic sound design 3.) Combat system has many improvements over the first game's 4.) Story was very gritty and dark compared to other games. I feel TLOU2 didnt execute it well but I hope that it opens a lot of doors for other game studio's to try for more gritty and disturbing stories every once in a while. I mean theres lots of more problems I had with TLOU2 but I've written A LOT already As for Ghost if Tsushima? I'd say the only story telling fault (similar to TLOU2) was *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER* when Enfocnwocjrjwickrjrifjeeoxowneogk39fn Taka died. It was basically Jin's fault for not telling Taka to go away in the first place. And honestly? this part screwed Yuna over. The only reason she saved Jin in the first place was so she and Taka could start new lives on the mainland. So yeah, that was a very "TLOU2" type of problem that Ghost of Tsushima had imo That's about it tho

@@raidonshin so ghost of hokkaido ? The ghost of nara ? Or maybe the ghost of okinawa for that tropical enviroment touch

@@desmondanimus1454 Exactly, another thing that could work is say if the game took place after the mongol invasions. There is a lot of periods in Japanese history where a samurai going rogue and becoming a "ghost" would be a plausible story to tell, for example it took take place during the most famous one, the sengoku Jidai. Say one of the small islands surrounding Japan or even perhaps a prefecture, maybe it would work with just the clan territory of a small clan as they are surrounded and wiped out by those around them. They really have full freedom with this sorta thing if they want too continue the series, whether with Jin as the protagonist, or featuring it years later where the legend of the ghost is still told. Maybe it even inspires someone who works under the shogun to seek out Jin to hear the true story instead of the twisted version told by the shogun. Whatever they decide to do or where its based I'd be excited.

@@raidonshin that would be really cool a game set in the Sengoku age, sometimes playing Ghost of Tsushima in stealth feels like the Assassin's Creed Japan we never got from Ubisoft (I know that has one in 2D, but you get what I mean)
