    Slightly off-topic but I just realised that a t-shirt i bought in Penney's ages ago for a fiver has a lovely Sumi-E design with "Tsushima" on it.

    Got this on sale the other night on PSN for €55 and i have to say i love it. With TLOU2 and general life stuff i havent been gaming much the last few months but this is a cracking game. Really loving it playing on the pro on an OLED and its amazing looking. I am probably about 8 hours in but really digging it.

    I just found it lacked any sort of originality. Go to a village/encampment kill everyone repeat. With no real incentive to change up how you approach each village.
    Maybe i should go back and mainline the main story and see if it helps me get into it.

    I enjoyed it a lot but can't disagree with you that it doesn't do anything new .

    I did enjoy the story though.

    Worth taking a chance at that price tbh.

    Agree with this. Downloading accounts for use is extremely dodgy and risky. You've no recourse if you get shafted.

    If that is true then don't touch it with a bargepole. Its like when you see people selling consoles on adverts saying it has free games when really they are tied to the account on the console and are practically useless.

    I'm finding this game to be pretty humourless, which is making it a slog for me. Of course not everything needs to be funny, but even funerals have welcome moments of brevity.

    This just feels to follow a very well defined plan for an open world game, and the story isn't engaging enough to keep me interested.

    I actually downloaded South Park stick of destiny for a complete change in tone!

    Maybe it's just the times. I usually like Japanese stuff (not anime but books like Shogun) so a bit disappointed. May come back to it another time

    Yeah, exactly like the last two Assassins Creed games. Maybe because I played them this year but Ghosts feels very old to me.

    Hope the new AC doesn't follow that exact blueprint.

    So, my first attempt at this was at launch and i just couldn't get hooked on it but really didn't give it enough time. With the ps5 upgrade and 40 euro price atm, I'm very tempted to try again. Has there been any/many quality of life patches? Is the online any good? Much difference in the ps5 upgrade?

    The 60fps on PS5 is immense, it is so smooth. World of difference. Loading times way low shorter too. I'm loving it, nearly at the end of it. It does take a few hours to take off though so stick with it if/when you do go pick it up.

    This is what separates The Witcher 3 from all the other open world rpgs. It's combat maybe lacking but The Witcher 3 with its fantasy world of Witches Ghouls Vampires Ghosts and other creatures makes it so much more interesting than Tsushima and the AC games . The former are too realistic and get very boring very quick. I know the Assassins creed games have Fantasy elements but not as many as the witcher

    Picked it up today for 40 in smyths, looking forward to some 60fps sword play.

    It's not out 6 months yet, and like most first party single player games from Sony, it doesn't drop in price for ages. Days Gone is still €60 on the store, but has had price drops throughout. Spiderman came out in 2018 and is only €40 now (without MM and on PS4).

    Just finished the single player. Looked great on the PS5. Some definite lulls at times as I went for all the collectibles, but enjoyed it and the ending was great.

    Is the multiplayer any good?

    Played for an hour last night, got a hankering for some samurai action so ended up watching Sword of Vengeance. Enjoyable game so far, smashing movie.

    This is a very chill game. There is lots to find but I don't feel overwhelmed and I'm not checking the map every 30 seconds to see what's around and where to go. I can't be dealing with maps like this in games anymore, it sets my teeth on edge...

    I ****ing hated that AC map and even with Cyberpunk, I get annoyed everytime I open it up. Absolute cluster**** and i spend more time watching the minimap than the actual game. More devs definitely need to innovate like sucker punch for what they did with this.
