Already bought but here we are

I'm still loving this game 4 years later. It will always be my favorite game

Thanks for pointing out the flickering. I was freaking out while playing, thinking my monitor was busted!

I'm really looking forward to trying this later this afternoon. My Mom likes to watch me play video games, it's something we like to do together, and she loves the samurai genre. I am not as into the samurai genre as her, but I am excited to try this. I am primarily a PC gamer and this will be my first time with Ghost of Tsushima. I have seen snippets and bits from video game videos on youtube but I don't think I have been really spoilered. The bits I have seen made me interested in getting it for my PS4 but I just never got around to it. Now with the PC launch I get to try my hand at samurai stealth.

I’m really happy that the pc crew gets to experience this gem. I bought it when it originally came out on ps4 still one of my all time favorites.

I love how whenever Jin is speaking to a downed or seated NPC he always get on his knees to level himself with the person he's talking to. A way to show humility and respect i take? Anyways Jin Sakai is an awesome character.

Thank you for uploading this review in Ultrawide 21:9. I can't remember the last time a youtube review filled up my monitor's screen!

Managed to play on my PS4 for a solid 10 hours before it hard crashed and couldnt be turned back on. So glad I can finally experience this game fully on a superior platform

Love Ghost of Tsushima! Glad more people get to experience it!

The video being in 21:9 for games like this is really nice, gives me a good sense of what to expect on my ultrawide

In regard to your flickering issue, it isn’t a problem on your end. The anti-stutter mod gets rid of it tho if you don’t wanna wait for them to get around it fixing it

THANK YOU for making a video in true widescreen.

Just wait till the mods start cooking bro.

"The wounds you dealt my spirit will never heal". 💔

Greatly appreciate the 4K, widescreen upload. Looks soooooo good.

I had the same black flickering at that exact moment as well in that opening cutscene on the horse.

This was one of the raddest games I've played in a long time. Played it all the way through, every side quest etc...

I love your videos man. Keep going with this series. Never gets old. ❤❤❤

Geez, the sound is pretty good even within the video clip! I'll consider this for my third play-through. It was a blast on PS4 Pro and PS5.

Thanks for the ultra wide footage guys.

appreciate the ultrawide video upload! i legit exclaimed "Oh wow" when the video started

Had the same exact standoff glitch on the Khan intro fight sequence. Glad to hear it wasn't just me.

Been waiting for this!

I actually waited for you guys this time

Was waiting for your video Thanks

Love the full screen. keep doing it

Hard to trust Sony given the weird issue they had with Helldivers 2 for PC.

love the ultrawide format

I just started downloading the game and hopped on KZfaq thinking there might be a Before You Buy PC version, and there totally was. You guys are totally on point! (as usual).

This is a very good port. It runs well on my mid rack. Apart from the cutscene resolution issue, I don't have any other issues you mentioned.

I don't know if it was mentioned, but the bug with not moving during Standoffs can be temporarily fixed by opening the main menu and closing it. Right after that, the "Hold" button should work!

Soon as this game goes on sale, I’m getting it. Blasted through it inside a week on ps4 when it came out, and loved it. Fantastic game.

Thanks for covering widescreen support, it was one of the features I was waiting for with this release. Appreciate it.

Jake always consistent with it lets go

I played about 20hrs when it came out and then gave my ps4 to my brother because he was having a kid. Stoked to actually go through this now, on my gaming rig!

Everytime I have a game in my shopping cart I come look for the Before you buy video first.

One of my favorite gaming experiences of all time was playing GoT as my first game on PS5, and on OLED. It was the same feeling I got from Halo 3 on Christmas morning, seeing 'hd' for the first time.

Man I love this game, time to play through it again!

Thank you for the valuable information.

I love how you jumped off the horse as it humped over the fallen tree. Happens to me too all the time 😂

I got this on PC mainly for Steam Deck use but it will be nice to have an excuse to play this classic again :)

Have watched several people's playthroughs of this game but I am a PC only gamer so have not had the chance to play it for myself...until now! Will be interesting to see how my positive viewing experience translates into personal playing.

Working so smoothly, only problem is that the audio and subtitles are gone sometimes whether in combat or in a cutscene

I’m looking to purchase in the next week. I am going to be playing it for the very first time since I was an Xbox guy never played it. But I’m super excited and can’t wait to play it

Imagine modding the game to play as Shrek.

Man I love this channel 🔥

I impulsively bought it halfway through the review. I just love this game and your awesome reviews! Addiction to games go crazy!

No performance issues, game ran amazing, only been playing multiplayer and Jesus it’s amazing. Had it on the ps5 for free for a little, but wanted it on pc. Here we are. I’m in love.

As a lifetime Xbox player that just got a pc this is the one I was waiting for

Had it on PS4 and replayed on 5, watched this and thank you so much for having the widescreen! Wow, i may pick it up again on PC.... :)

Just bought it! First time playing thru it! i cant wait!

With a 7900xtx getting 100fps max settings 4k no fsr3 or frame gen and most importantly no stutter. Runs great

Im pretty sure the flickering is because of frame gen - 4:50

I've also had the issue with standoffs but know of the other issues you talked about. The game looks so gorgeous on an ultra wide, super happy with it

picked it up today so gonna have a fun weekend

If you don't care about the multiplayer side of things or the Playstation overlay you can delete or rename the PSPC_SDK folder in %programdata%\Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc\ to get a 30-70% performance boost. I'm on 1660 Super and before deleting the folder the game ran at around 40fps on high settings. After deleting it the game now runs at around 65fps. This is before even turning FSR3 on.

@gameranx Hey Jake, that flickering is specific to your monitor or any other OLED monitor. It's referred to VRR (variable refresh rate) flicker and you can get rid of it by turning adaptive sync OFF in your monitor settings

I wanted to ask, do the attack combos and the way you approach fights become different? From the clips you showed the character is doing the same animations over and over. For example, slash, slash, trip and cut; slash, slash, roll, trip and cut. I guess what I'm asking is, do you get to use a variety of weapons while you fight?

I think you should have also pointed out that there are no subtitles for regular npc chatter. Blows my mind how they could have missed this as there are a lot of players who'll be playing the game in Japanese.

I'm fresh and I'm happy 😁 I have a 2070 and it's running flawlessly

Good review. But anytime you said “widescreen” what you mean is “ultrawide”. Widescreen has been the standard for a long time since we switched from 4:3 to 16:9 which is widescreen.

I played this on ps4 pro 4 years back and on my oled was the ultimate experience...when i heard it will come to pc i bought an oled monitor and a high end rig to experience it in 200 fps...yeah my 4080 is ready..but the vistas seen for the first time and wind effects with leaflets is jaw breaking

love the ultrawide vid!

Just wait till the mods start cooking bro

Already better than AC shadows

First on PS4 then on PS5 and now on PC I will play this masterpiece again!

Y'all have no idea how happy when I saw Nixxes show up on the screen. I've never had any stutters/performance issues with a Nixxes PC port.

I have been waiting for this for so long on PC!!

8 Million soon! Congrats Jake!

I have those flickering issues too, and I'm running a 7800X3D with a 4090 so I don't see it being a hardware issue, but still digging this game. Gotta put it on my Steam Deck now too

I have such a slug of a back log and this one is going right into it. I'm sure the community will release a cut scene fix stretch. Look's Damn good! Can't wait to have at it.

I love ghost of Tsushima such a great game in my opinion.

Ghost of Tsushima: You Can't Buy, because you live in a country where PSN is not featured

1:42 mentions the world being rendered in high quality flawlessly just as there is some pop in with the fire in the building across the way. right when he says flawlessly lol

yeah...playing this on a qled ultrawide is really something else. it was gorgeous on the standard ps4, it's simply breathtaking on PC (and I can't even run it at ultra to be fair). and it runs like butter so far. great port, worth the wait

I still need to get back to Iki Island. Is that what it's called? 😅

Never knew this game had a multiplayer

Loving this game so far. Playing a 5600X and RTX 3060 12GB GPU. Needed to do some settings tweaking but managed to get about 120FPS. The wait was so worth it. Never played on console before so I am a fresh PC gamer for this title.

Played it all day on the scuf controller. Glad I finally get to experience this masterpiece.

Can’t wait for sekiro mods to be made. It honestly feels natural for that to happen since Jin is more of a shinobi than a samurai.

Had it in the PS4 loved it - PS5 loved it some more and now, now I’m going to see what it looks like on my high end pc. Can’t wait!

Crazy how I bought it no hesitation last night and now I’m deciding to watch this

Playing this makes me can't wait for mods. It has so much potential.

People from countries that PSN doesn't support, pirate is the only way.

This is one of my favorite “none-mainstream” games I’ve ever played. I played on PS4 and absolutely loved it.

i always love the After You Buy videos

Interesting! Seeing folks in the chat who have the flickering issue, but for so far the "unresponsive Y/Triangle button during face offs" is the only one I've experienced. Just glad to know I wasn't imagining it!!

The fact that exclusives on consoles still exist in 2024 is insane to me. Im pretty sure pc gaming has take over the past few years. Theres no reason to make exclusives anymore...

Super sad this game is region locked from where i live i wish i could play it

Will be playing fresh as a PC only gamer! Excited to try it out

Thank you for using this aspect ratio

A samurai game where you play as a Japanese man? Unheard of

Can't wait for the mod that replaces Jin with Yasuke, AC Shadows no longer needed

I am loving it so far, but don't like that I can't load from an old save if I want to. It auto saves, and can only load from previous save. Is there anyway to overcome that issue ? Great content btw :)

Already bought and still watching it. I too have the Stand Off bug in which my guy just stands there until hit sometimes.

The real "Assassin's Creed in Japan" with actual Japanese as the mc. Take note Ubisoft!

Damn 60 dollarydoos? In this economy?!

The graphical bugs you experience, Jake, I experienced the exact same ones. Different monitor too. Settings enabled during graphical bugs are DLSS Quality & Frame Generation, my guess is it’s something to do with that lol

Did gameranx make a Before You Buy on hades and are they going to make one for hades 2?

Regarding AC Shadows: Yasuke, while not a samurai, was a vassal. In other words, a man who received land from a feudal lord in return for homage and loyalty. _A black man was taken on as a vassal by Nobunaga-sama and received a stipend. His name was decided to be Yasuke. He was also given a short sword and a house. He was sometimes made to carry Nobunaga-sama's tools_ _The black man understood a little Japanese, and Nobunaga never tired of talking with him. And because he was strong and could do a few tricks, Nobunaga took great pleasure in protecting him and had him roam around the city of Kyoto with an attendant. Some people in the town thought that Nobunaga might make him as tono_ (a lord) source: the italicized passages are from the records of the Society of Jesus of Japan, where wikipedia got the info/
