Ghost of Tsushima Directors Cut Review

[@stanettiels7367]

The industry keeps justifying to me to wait a year or two before buying games. I’d prefer to wait and get the “complete” versions of games. I’ll wait another few months and get it at discount, too. They keep double dipping, I’ll keep waiting.

[@ObligedUniform]

Honestly it's the same price at the end of the day, whether you got it last year or all this year, since the upgrade is $20 for PS5. I consider it justvan xpac with graphical update 🤷‍♂️ but I can understand the annoyance

[@stanettiels7367]

@@ObligedUniform That’s not the issue I have. It’s the issue of buying the game at release only for a newer, shinier version to be released not too long after. So if I’d bought it at release I’d now have a choice: either stick with an inferior version or pay to upgrade. That’s double dipping, in my opinion, and I’m better off waiting for the best version to come out.

[@iNoScopedMLK]

@@ObligedUniform doesn’t that make the cost for day one buyers $60+$20=$80 when the cost of the directors cut is $70?

@@dayonerecoverdub3626 You also literally get an Expansion. Which seems to be getting forgotten in all this. An expansion is 20$ for almost all games. So in reality you are paying 10$ for an upgrade.

[@geraltofrivia4936]

Don't buy MacDonald meal this week and buy the upgrade instead.

[@Raptor3698]

Definitely understand that. Though, the thing is the graphical upgrades (the frame rate and load times) were kinda already provided for the PS5 for free in an update. You’re not just paying for graphics, you’re kinda paying for a new controller upgrade as well. While the Xbox you kinda get 1 upgrade with the PS5 it’s around 2 and in some cases 3. I personally think 5 bucks would’ve been the better way to go, but 10 doesn’t really hurt. Could it be better if it was free, sure, but I personally don’t think 10 bucks is too bad. I hope they don’t go over that, but for now it’s not really bad in my opinion, on top of a whole expansion, 30 bucks is kind of a steal if you ask me lol.

[@Enigmalake]

Guess you never bought a car? Pay more. Get more. Sony and Nintendo really dropped the ball the past 3-4 years but you don’t have to pay the extra

[@ottot3221]

So glad when a reviewer knows how to pronounce Tsushima. And as always a worthy review that helps me along in my decision making. Thank you. But this time it's a bit more difficult and that has more to do with my wallet than with the DLC. If I want the full experience (and I do) I have to pay 30 euros. That is half the price of the original game. That is a lot compared to the content and time I will get back. So my gaming budget won't let me now but when there is a discount I would gladly pay half and have an amazing time replaying GoT and it's expansion.

I actually just started playing this game on my PS5 for the first time. This game is absolutely incredible

[@ntmetroid]

Still 50/50 about getting ps5 version vs just getting the dlc for the ps4 version. The 60fps mode playing the ps4 version on ps5 was already really good. And not adding the updated lip sync as a patch is a very odd choice. Either way, very excited to play the dlc

[@peckc16]

Idk how true, but apparently the Japanese lip sync is AI generated using ps5 exclusive hardware. But probs still could have been a patch when playing on ps5 with the ps4 reason. Who knows-I just know that was not happening on ps4.

[@kobakareli]

The lip syncing has something to do with PS5's ability to render cutscenes in real time. I'm not sure how this works or what it means exactly, because I'm pretty sure PS4 also rendered cutscenes in real time, but the devs said, in order to make Japanese lip syncing available on PS4, they would have to re-render every cutscene with that in mind.

[@Name-fd2co]

In fairness the lip syncing being exclusive to the PS5 is because the cutscenes are rendered in real time, rather than being prerendered. The file size for adding another version of every cutscene to the PS4 would've been huge apparently, and rendering in real time wasn't possible because the cutscenes were used to mask loading times. I agree with being 50/50 on getting this though, I usually don't care that much for dlc and $30 is steep for the marginal improvements they made for the PS5 version. It's a shame, as I was pretty excited for this, and it should definitely have been free

So this setting, based only on your review, sounds like it would have been ideal for a Kurosawa-style affair where you'd see Mifune play both sides, or, help the villagers only to get an ending such as in the Seven Samurai. I kind of wish, after hearing that, there were some branching paths of choices, a la The Way of the Samurai. Might have been more interesting than taking on 4 more camps and story events. Still, I would like to possibly get it at some point, even if I wish for another Way of the Samurai. Great review as always!
