I intentionally waited on playing Ghosts because I figured it would re-release for the PS5, and I only had a base PS4 at that point. So for me I didn't mind the extra $10 given that if I had gotten it for the PS4 originally I would have paid $60 without the DLC. I do think that the pricing structure for the upgrade for people who already have it is a bit unfair. If there is a cost associated with PS4 to PS5 upgrades it should be no more then the difference between the cost of a PS4 and PS5 game. The $70 new price point for the Directors Cut basically acknowledges that the company doesn't believe the added content is worth anymore then an additional $10, yet there basically gouging people who already own the game anyway.

Anyone who bought this at launch for the PS4 is paying $90 for the same content. That’s a predatory business practice. What about the upgrade path makes what there getting any different then what I’m getting by buying the Directors Cut. Simply put, they know if you want the enhancements and DLC your only options are to pay $30, or $70 for the full game again. So realistically, they know they can charge whatever they want for the upgrade because you either pay it or you can’t play it.

If you went out a few months ago before they announced the directors cut, and decided to buy Ghosts, you were going to spend $60 for it, only to find out the additional content was going to cost you another $30.

[@whatthe9256]

@@SkilletRocks1769 Uhm did you even understand what I just told you? Its called depreciation. study it and know how it affects every business on existence. Do you also realize that gamestop is a retail store and sony doesnt have control on how much they sell their games to you? gamestop could sell GoT for $100 and they cant do anything about it because they already paid sony for that game. Never knew people could be this ignorant. If you want the actual price then buy it from sony. why are you basing prices on retail stores? 🤦‍♂️

[@nastyline9693]

Platinumed this beauty on PS4. Bought the Iki expansion on the release day for PS5 now that I have the console. I haven't touched it. I bought because I love the game and support developers but I don't wanna start playing it yet, afraid once I'm done there's nothing left to play that match this beauty :(

[@KulZaze]

[@MagMan105]

This game is just 100% one of the best gaming experiences you could have in this day and age dude

[@benjaminshepherd610]

Hey i just started playing this wasn’t expecting a before you buy but im loving it so far

[@crowvalclamore3320]

I absolutely love this game, & Pretty Much everything about it. I think the only reason why players would have a problem (myself included) with the new locking system is that it wasn't there in the first place & we've gotten used to not having it. I only played about an hour or two into Iki Island, & already can't wait to 100% this island like I did with Tsushima.

[@royalet7982]

Can’t wait to get my hands on the lock on though! In my eyes Ghost Of Tsushima was perfect in all but 2 ways. 1st was the lack of lock on. 2nd was the poor Japanese lip sync. Both now fixed! Couldn’t be happier.

[@TheDemonGamerOfFleetStreet]

This game is a masterpiece and the Directors Cut is where I started. Mechanics are awesome, the sword play is epic, and the backdrop and music is beautiful. Runs very well in 60fps and is smooth enough with beautiful colours and believable characters that have life in them. That guy that Jin is always saving (cant remember his name now) he's one funny dude man the voice actor for him has it down fr listening to his sob stories and his elaborate lies and exaggerations are funny as hell it reminds me of something straight out of Monkey Magic or something 😂😂. The fights are epic and when the music plays over the fights it really does have that Japanese feel to it. All in all if I was a game reviewer I would give this game a solid 10 out of 10 because I havent found one thing that's wilts my hard on for it yet.

[@kirank287]

I've had this game since it was released. I still love it so much. I would definitely give this game 10 out of 10 as well

[@mundapunjabi84]

LOVE your content Bro! Can totally relate to brushing up before diving back in. Hadn’t touched the game after 100% complete since 10/2020, and got messed up myself! Sucker Punch launched the Legends DLC for FREE, which I enjoyed like no tomorrow! So, I didn’t feel bad ponying up the extra $30 for my PS4 to PS5 version; WORTH EVERY PENNY! Also, I can’t be only one who thought of Mad Max (Battle Criers) when being first introduced with the Shamans!!!

[@Chilling_Charizard]

I’m still on PS4. I haven’t played this in a few months but it was soooo good seeing that I actually got the Iki island update without paying. It’s a small thing but really made my day

I platinumed this game recently such a well crafted piece of work definitely getting the expansion on ps5

How long does the story take to complete

[@VikramSingh-bo5wx]

@@brndn3263 it took me around 2 weeks to complete which includes lots and lots of free roam and side quests and mythic tales i didn't want to rush the game and it was certainly worth it

I just got it today for the ps5, it's my first time playing through the base game and my God the first hour alone is fantastic, brutal, and emotionally gripping. I can't wait to see where Jin's journey takes him

[@xmissviolencex]

Prepare to cry.... A LOT.

[@sugarsore]

@@xmissviolencex Really? That's interesting. I didn't cry at all. I didn't get very emotionally invested in the story. The character development was lacking a bit in my opinion.

[@hoofhearted4]

I had this pre ordered for PS4. I recently hopped back into BL1 and having fun with that so it'll be a bit before I get to this expansion, but I look forward to it. Also 100% the main game. Probably the best game on PS4 I played. (though doesn't quite make it to my #1 favorite)

[@mrVP96]

The Fast Travel load times are crazy in this version, surprised it wasnt brought up comparing to the original

[@BIGDZ8346]

I don't really ever buy games at full price. I rented Ghost of Tsushima and Platinumed it at launch. Then when legends came I decided to buy it for £40 slight sale price. Now I paid £30 for the Directors cut. So I especially sent in total £70. I would say the original campaign itself was worth full price but when you add legends mode and the DLC. It's definitely worth it. But I get it a lot of people aren't comfortable with buying games at full price I'm one of them. But once in a while a gem comes along that is worth it to me. Ghost of Tshushima is one of them!

[@Metal-Gear-Moogle]

There were so many moments in the game where I would round a corner and come upon scenery that made me stop and take it in for a moment. This game has been one of my greatest experiences in gaming

[@kirank287]

Same and I always get those moments where I just have to use the photo mode

Honestly as a streamer i love this game so much I've thought about doing my new game plus just can't decide if I want to do it on stream or not 🤣 the entire reason I got a PS was because of this game and the E3 presentation.

[@excess6704]

Still hasn't been released on PC yet watching this video. People will come here after it get released ---->

[@Lewis-ec5sn]

yeah thats why I came here

[@TuraMartins]

I always loved the samurai theme stuff, so I was really hyped for the game, but I gotta say it still exceeded my expectations... I played twice when it came out, and then my son was making his playthrough... but didn't want to explore, just do the main story, so I basically played the game for him... Now I'm doing the 4th playthrough so I can jump into Iki island, and I still love the game, not bothered at all for being more GoT... It jumped on my favorite games ever list, along with BotW, The Witcher 3 and Tlou. I can just play them over and over again... And it's the most beatifull game I've ever seen...

[@Tulku]

Awesome. I've been so busy with life happening recently and this is the first thing that's come out that I'm really like "Shit, I gotta go get that right now." And you answered how long it is, which also makes me think it's worth the additional cost.

[@alphasociety]

how did the last of us 2 win game of the year over ghost of tsushima?

[@sinnamon]

In all the years I've played PS games, this was the first and only game I've platinumed.

[@true_shotentertainment2717]

I love how much detail they put into the iki story.Better understanding with your father's history n they even gave ur horse some love. And just my thought, it also seems they've learned Jin's hallucinating poison which would be a cool consequence for straying from the path of a samurai. All that said I hate the animal sanctuary motion control tbh should of just used the touchpad.

I came in fresh, never had a PS4 console. Jumped in with brand new PS5 and directors cut. Amazing audiovisual experience

Probably be a few more years but the chance are still low. Majority of Sony exclusives released on pc seems to be games that are more suited to pc which are third person shooters like uncharted and horizon
