Ghost of Tsushima - Dark Samurai Combat - Lethal Difficulty Gameplay

In my last video I showed that an archery build for Ghost of Tsushima can be very effective even on Lethal mode. In this video I wanted to show how even though enemies are more aggressive & strong, you're able to still take them out quickly, and in some cases quicker than usual. I really hope they continue the post-launch support of this game because I think they're doing a great job. Let me know if you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching :D

[@monad5140]

What’s cool is how the game actually avoids health sponges and makes the enemies and the player a few right or wrong moves away from death. Makes it feel smart and intense. Props also to Mongol Armor which never gets represented in media.

[@pugforce8315]

Even on the hard difficulty enemies still aren’t sponges. (Except bosses) it’s awesome, even better on lethal when everything is one shot including your own attacks

[@monad5140]

@@pugforce8315 Dude Lethal is one of my favorite game modes ever. Both you and the enemy are just two slices away from death so everything is so intense. The only thing that's not so fun in Lethal are the duels though because you get insta-killed but your opponent becomes a Sherman Tank for some reason.

You know what’s funny, is that the Ghost is actually a more accurate representation of how the samurai really were. They would win by any means necessary. The honor aspect is sort of a fantastical element. Still love the game anyway.

[@deepchatttaraj3991]

Not fantasy totally they were super proud in duels and when starting war but once war began their were no honour just anything to win , Miyamoto Musashi one of the legendary samurai won all duels not only by skills but also using frustration and anger of his enemies,he was a Ronin tho, like western cowboys lawless

[@ernestw2474]

From my thoughts, this game is absolutely beautiful, I rate it 9.5/10. I like the story, about one samurai who lost his honor but rose up to become Ghost and defended the people and drove Mongolians out through brutal methods like poison even though he was condemned for doing dishonorable things. For gameplay, it's very amazing, the combat is very intense. I know it's not Assassin's Creed, but almost everything is similar to Assassin's Creed gameplay mechanics like parkour and stealth. Honestly, there are something I like to add, if I observe correctly, I see players use swords, bows and arrows, it would be flexible to use variety of weapons like spears and heavy weapons and use captured Mongolian weapons, but keep Sakai's katana as default and irreplaceable weapon. I don't know if samurai lets them to use captured enemy weapon and able disarm the enemy, I'm no expert. I think the game should have player carry the dead body to hide it somewhere for stealth or to lure an enemy to death or distraction just like Assassin's Creed. In this game, the enemies are mostly Mongolians and some other samurais, I would like to add Korean warriors since they aid Mongolians during the invasion, but I don't know if they were in Tsushima centuries ago. Maybe I wasn't pay attention, but the game seems to missing one thing, divine wind (kamikaze), when typhoon annihilated Monglolian fleet. Anyway, the graphics were amazing, I love it, the environment and landscape are really nice which made me feel that I am in Japan or Tsushima Island. I consider this is the best game of the year and deserve many awards. If there is sequel, maybe the story will talk about Jin Sakai will probably reclaim his honor, but keep his Ghost.

[@R4D14NT72]

The Korean Warriors also aided the Mongolians during the invasion too,I've read it from the wikipedia.

[@ernestw2474]

@@R4D14NT72 I just researched it and Koreans were indeed at Tsushima Island. Like I said, the game should've add Korean warriors for not just for the fact of their presence on the island, but variety kinds of enemies and archetypes.

[@kevinghifari2330]

the only thing that historically true is the setting, Mongolian invasion in 1274 at komoda region where all 80 local samurai were butcher by thousand mongols at the beach. the armor is almost accurate. Everything else are questionable, even the jin's blade. they said it "tachi" in Japan Voice but what jin is using isn't even tachi(predecessor of katana). it's a katana shape that made during the sengoku era(1500-1600).
