[@easymode2966]

5:03 : The reason why the archers yell is because they are telling their fellow soldiers to duck

[@SilverDreamweaver]

Yeah, that's what I thought as well. I also think I've encountered multiple different calls, which each have a different draw speed, which would allow for greater strategy and less predicability, making both more realistic, and more difficult for the player. And when the other enemies are defeated, the archers shoot much more rapidly, as they don't have to worry about their allies. Very ingenius way of tieing logic into game balance.

Of course, the game actually tells you that though.

This game is a solid 10 for me. My ONLY gripe is that arrows disappear after hitting an enemy and don’t stick out of their bodies.

[@yourmum7241]

Yes I agree

[@kulidrikke]

my gripe, i have 2 actually. 1. getting all skill points is abit boring to me, i would feel like it would be better if we just got a set amount of it, and you could forge a build of your own. like, i went full deflection tree at first, and then all of the stance skills. thats a pretty sweet build for pure swordplay, and then maybe have a few extra points to put wherever. i just feel like this would make more sense also, considering all the armor types we can get that also change up your gameplay style. but also, in one way it is also nice, just change your gear to kensei armor for example, and use ghost weapons also, or to gosaku armor for a more aggressive oriented combat style. so its nice that you can change it up when you feel like it, i just feel like it would be abit more fun if you could forge your own build imo. 2. i hate the fact that you have 1 button to do things with, 1 button to mount horse, talk to NPCs, pick up items, open doors etc etc. been so many situations where i want to do 1 thing but but another instead. like, park my horse next to a hotspring, i go in, and when i come out i accidently go back in. it hasnt happened enough for it to be annoying though, i just think they should have switched it abit. either way, those 2 points dont take away from what i think of the game, i absolutely love it and is a 10/10 game.

[@kulidrikke]

@@juansalvadorgarcinifernnde8657 could argue the stealth mechanics is crap though, it plays just the same as any other game with a stealth system, or like assassins creed. wich is also why i never go stealth in a game, couse it just feels like your playing assassins creed then. overall, i loved this game, i really havent had this much fun in an open world game since the witcher 3, and i finished it 100%, something i extremely rarely do and only do with games i really really like, so its among one of my alltime favourites tbh.

I prefer to do all side quests available, so I’ll be stronger for main quests. Also because when I finish the main story I “wrap up” the game. When I end the campaign, I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the game (because the most important thing-the story has ended). So I do the side quests first. Makes me slightly over leveled, but I also meet more characters. Sensei Ishikawa, Lady Masako and Kengi’s stories are awesome. It’s a nice detail to have continuous missions with the same characters. An amazing story arch.

It's also nice to hear that there are more than just charms to use but you can upgrade weapons and armor too. Not to mention Jake didn't seem to be too enthusiastic about the hunting, I think at one point he said, "it's just there" or something along those lines but after watching this it seems the hunting in this game is pretty cool and you need some of the animal materials for upgrades which seems pretty important lol.

Archers yell for their own allies in order to dodge the arrows. You can see that when they yell, their allies duck in order to avoid them.

Absolutely amazing how it captures the best of Feudal history, romantic Samurai beats, and gritty raw storytelling that most nihilistic/realist millennials enjoy. Heavy customization and varied play styles but also very simplified choices in dialogue, even choosing your horse/name is great. Funny how games like FO4 missed the mark simplifying dialogue yet a game like this delivers powerful results with choosing between 1-3 options for things like dialogue, haikus, and things to think about at the hot spring.
