I Platinum'd Ghost of Tsushima on Lethal Difficulty

Ghost of tsushima's platinum is very easy but your boy had to make it a challenge to get otherwise it would've been boring lol. I truly find this game to be one of my favorites that I have played on stream. Hope you guys enjoy!! :)

What games should I platinum next??

[@benurban8875]

You should try Dark Souls 3 next, then Demon Souls

[@BoNabil10]

Would like to see you platinum Returanl amazing and a challenging game.

[@ImmortalValid]

Elden Ring

[@ziasan2275]

You should platinum Gow ragnarok

[@zuher3180]

Rdr2

This platinum is dedicated to Taka😢 he was true homie

Nope

And you can't forget the horse after it took you as far as it could after getting shot by 2 arrows

[@thebatmane2220]

For taka!

[@Skuzza-_-]

Skyler broo 😉

[@trbd]

Fun fact: Jin touching grass at 2:21 is a subtle reference to the fact that ya'll gamers need to do that right now

[@danteh4947]

This is literally one of my favorite games of all time. I gave it a standing ovation after ending it. I spared the uncle though. I feel like that’s what Jin would of done. This is a great platinum too.

[@optimistichuman]

masterpiece of a game

[@mineking8228]

although sparing him is the right choice, you get the cooler armor from killing him so 🤷

[@123bunnys4me]

After doing both I actually feel like jin would honor his uncle's wishes because despite everything that happened, they both still love each other and that shows when you kill him

[@coltonwilkie241]

Killing him is the right choice. Sparing him is straight up evil and Jin wouldn't do him like that at all.

[@danteh4947]

@@coltonwilkie241 It’s not honorable but killing a family member is evil

[@proplayz6170]

I feel like lethal really makes the blades feel sharp. U die in two hits but it’s the same thing for the enemies. I really had to get good at parries.

[@StopWhiningManguideCultists]

Saragumi armor moment

[@thebatmane2220]

Honestly doing the story on lethal was fun as hell, the only annoying part about it is the archers tbh.

[@optimistichuman]

yeah the archers were crazy but well worth the plat

[@JohnSmith-kn5xx]

archers are annoying period maybe next to dogs in the early game

[@Zondac]

I felt like archers weren’t that bad, arrows being parriable and the mongols yelling out before shooting made avoiding their attacks fine, and the fact that they can’t block really made them more chill to fight than most

[@ennio1ls]

In lethal+ it's even worse but it's the best way to play tbh

[@tacogfx1842]

for me i have the opposite issue im doing lethal for like i think around my 3rd playthrough and im trying to get platinum currently

[@alanmayo2055]

I played ghost of Tsushima on lethal difficulty when the update came out and oh boy... It felt like you were a samurai when you got used to it, it was really great. Good job on the video! This really sums up my experience

[@optimistichuman]

hell yeah, thank you! 🙏🏽

[@CostasSavvides]

lethal feels like the way the game was meant to be played and it has so much sense.

[@ThePloingusMan]

Absolute masterpiece of a game, one of my favorites of all time and honestly I've never had anything bad to say about it. The story, combat, art , all amazing.

[@kirank287]

Same. It will always be one of my favorite games. I love it so much

[@killa3741]

I got plat on this game today, after spending 300+ hours only on the multiplayer mode and like 10 hours on the campaign. Absolutely a masterpiece of a game.

[@fenikkusu5467]

Only 10 hours? Mate, I have 60 hours, and still have the DLC left to do

[@VinJinsWorshipper]

10 hours is impossible u need atleast 40 😭

[@killa3741]

@@VinJinsWorshipper i was saying i had only played 10 hours on the campaign before starting to go for the plat

[@hhzzhhzz8950]

So it wasn’t there’s more cutscenes than gameplay ur only saying that because it’s Japanese and u love Japanese shit lemme guess u love their culture and language and that’s ur only reason u have no other actual reasons u nerd

[@ishavedoffallmyhair]

This video is awesome, this is one of my favorite games of all time. Thus I totally understand the mindset of “nah I’m not gonna abandon I need to do it again” no matter how tantalizingly painful it is to try and beat it after the 75th time that you were killed. like I got a earn it or something 💀💀

[@optimistichuman]

hell yeah, that fromsoft mentality kicked in real quick lol

[@Sometimeserious]

Bro I’m so proud of you for doing this. Lethal+ is even worse and painful than lethal💀. The platinum on Lethal is still real impressive. And also w you for keepin your word

[@optimistichuman]

lmao thank you

[@igoonx15]

This game is one of my favorite games, it’s not the hardest game but the joy of just playing and wandering around the beautiful world of this game is something I haven’t experienced a lot in games, especially open world games where the world is empty and it doesn’t really matter if you roam around the map. I think this game is a perfect example of a world doesn’t need to be full of secrets to enjoy, the atmosphere of the game is just so good imo. Few games did this for me, Ghost of Tsushima, the witcher 3, Elden ring. These three games are my favorite open world games and I enjoyed just walking around the map, beat all of these games more than three times and i got the platinum for all of them “except TW3“

[@formulacold]

this is my first video i’ve seen of this guy loves his energy so i subscribed 😅

[@Andrew-yb8ex]

Can’t wait tell you get the amour of subs your deserve I was a expecting a few hundred k at least you will have what you deserve soon don’t loose faith you make so many people happy can’t wait to see you make it good shit

yo thank you for the kind words that means a lot!! ❤️

[@optimistichuman]

thank you for the support! :)

[@joe_mawma._.]

Optimistichuman: rages 24/7 for dying Also optimistichuman: **proceeds to use the wrong stance the entire game**

[@optimistichuman]

I used the best stance

[@kirank287]

I still love this game so much. It's been my favorite game since the launch. I got my platinum three years ago and it was so worth it. This is one of my favorite platinums

[@erikfaru9780]

The only bad thing about this game is that it is a PS exclusive. I bet it would sell just as much as when RDR2 came to other consoles and PC...

[@zeon9028]

rollercoaster of emotions frr great vid js subbed. altho u using water stance against everyone was kinda irritating💀 basically u made it even harder for urself lmao

[@beep_boop12]

just as i did the same thing i saw your video nice work man!!

[@cheffo8982]

Despite people’s personal opinions my favourite thing about the endings is how they can both be perfectly justified for Jin as a character

[@pepinsyn6425]

amazing video, keep up the good work.

[@sleeper6548]

This guy's playthrough was pure violent lmaoo, i did most game stealth, good to see someone do it the opposite most of the time the funny thing is that when i play stealth game, i cant do it properly, but this game where stealth is _mostly_ optional, i did it completely with stealth lol

[@Fathernewman]

Editing is S tier bro good stuff

[@optimistichuman]

thank you!! 🙏🏽

[@BoNabil10]

Lmao the editing is hilarious bro been laughing like crazy, more of this please 😂

[@optimistichuman]

thank you!! 🙏🏽

[@deltascorpion6027]

I wanted to play the game for a long time, but had no time to do it bc of games that I wanted to play more, and I had a lot of stuff to do so I didn't have the time I needed to do it yet, if everything goes as planned I should be able to play it by the end of July. Your video hyped me up so much that I am gonna rush the game I am actually playing, and I am gonna finish to 100% it after Ghost of tsushima, if my autistic brain wouldn't force me to at least finish the story of my actual game, I would play got right fricking now because of your vid XD.

[@optimistichuman]

hell yeah play this masterpiece

[@MrSefiroh]

Pound for pound the best game I've ever played. Legends takes it to that level.

[@AdmireTheMoustache]

great editing and funny, good job

[@optimistichuman]

thank you!! 🙏🏽

[@EnoxiusPrime]

Did the same thing, made me feel like I earned that platinum trophy by doing it on lethal, the satisfaction of dying at least 50 times to that one enemy (everyone has that one enemy the struggled with, mine was the first demon from the tales of Tsushima) and then getting it down to where you learn their pattern and finally beat them, just magnificent!

[@optimistichuman]

determination gotta love it

[@senku1396]

this was me with ryuzo (the first time) bro i fought him atleast 50 times

[@EnoxiusPrime]

@@senku1396 thankfully I had my experience with the First Demon before fighting Ryuzo which made me a better swordsman, I think I maybe died to Ryuzo 2 times before I beat him

[@TheBlueTaco0]

That thumbnail goes HARD🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@trapyb]

your editing keeps getting better

[@optimistichuman]

thank you trapy!!!!

[@nanashi334]

I have an idea for a video, you could do a boss rush in Ghost of Tsushima, beat every single boss in the game right after each other, just replaying their fights over, you would go from a boss fight to another boss fight by just holding triangle on their boss arena in the map

[@luucky84]

Your channel is literally so underrated bro

[@optimistichuman]

Thank you!! :)

[@kingtorra6955]

I’m playing through it for the first time and honestly Lethal is the most fun setting to me. I just feel so cool slicing through everyone without getting hit once

[@optimistichuman]

yeah as soon as my chat told me that I also can 2 slice opponents I was in

[@TobyKBTY]

Bro when COVID hit and the world was all bullshit, this game came out and it was such an experience. Me and my bros kept talking about it online because it was so hype. Definitely one of my favorite modern triple A games and one of my favorite modern PS exclusives.

[@optimistichuman]

hell yeah!!

[@user-bb2ot6vl3k]

I was so sad when u finished it because it was so good

[@Crica07]

the scenary is amazing btw

[@SamLewis6]

im glad i watched this before reaching the end of act 1 cause taka and the horses deaths woulda made me quit the game if i wasnt mentally prepared for them when they happen

[@Ayejj11]

I did too! Makes the game way more fun.

[@cxmla9524]

Lethal difficulty is what made it a perfect game. It does make armor stats useless until you get to level 3 of a piece but that pales in comparison to the fun feeling of death being close at every encounter.

[@mookyyzed2216]

This game is a masterpiece. I really hope they make another.

[@honestmistake8167]

I finished ghost of tsushima yesterday, and I gotta say that this is one of the best fucking games I have ever played. no other game has left me completely slackjawed while the credits rolled.

I loved the Platinum on this game. I played on Lethal difficulty. I spent forever getting the Iki trophies too, and every cosmetic in the game. Now I'm going into NG+ on Lethal+ to get the NG+ ghost flower cosmetics.

Im loving Iki Island so far. It actually made me love the game even more

I'm doing the same. I still love this game

The uncle fight was so relatable 😂😂 the first 3 deaths are like “i dont want to kill you” but that changes real quick 💀 Love the game. Its like eating spicy food. It hurts but in a good way.

After I got the armor that made parrying really good the entire game was just a cakewalk

I love how jin talk shit about the enemy general despite him fighting in the breached keep he is trying to defend

[@kingduck5273]

I did the same. I know the pain 😢. It was my first platinum.

[@manfrediruvolo9368]

i played the whole game on lethal, feels so much realistic to die in 1 or 2 hits, or the fact that your enemy strikes almost immediately and doesn't lose 5 seconds to land a hit on you . At the beginning of the game it was awful since I didn't know the mechanics but later on I became the ghost and rarely died even against all sorts of foes, you'll get used to it and it is so much better.

[@hamidsafdar1219]

This i can relate to so much. Having done my forrst playthrough on lethal, any sections with many enemies or any boss fight were absolute hell. Even so, i never changed difficulty and powered through to the plat.

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

There was chat comment that said sparing was the bad ending in their opinion but i like how the game doesnt do tradional good vs bad endings, its about what feels right. I ended up killing uncle because that moment wasnt really about what jin/i wanted, it was about uncle's wishes. That being said, i DO think sparing him offers more interesting possiblities to explore for the sequel; the idea that shimura is still around and potentially affecting the story still, or even just knowing he's in the background hearing about jin's deeds from afar. Ugh, sign me up

Fun Fact: Jin Sakai''s voice is voiced by the same voice actor who voices Zoro in Japanese.

[@Taylor-rw4le]

I really want the the next game to be even harder, ab midway through lethal all the fighting just became trivial for me. Expanding enemy variety (there was a lot of cool weapons they could've but didn't showcase from the time) and stance/style mechanics and combos, and adding directional blocking and parry would add some needed depth, or at least make it optional for a tougher experience.

Lethal is the only way to play the game. Absolutely doable in lethal if you can deal with dieing alot in the beginning and grinding to build your legend early in the game.
