I Platinum'd Ghost of Tsushima on Lethal Difficulty

[@optimistichuman]

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

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

[@atles300]

EY i'll have you know i touch grass at least twice

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@Ferranbllc59]

This game is sooo beautifull! Good job on getting the platinum on lethal. Editing goes crazy as always, you already know ❤️

[@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

[@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

[@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“

[@joe_mawma._.]

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

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

[@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.

[@Joseph-xr4km]

Great game all the way and i just beat it today

[@kirank287]

Same. It's one of best games. It's definitely my favorite game. I still love this game so much

thank you!! 🙏🏽

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

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

[@MrSefiroh]

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

[@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

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

[@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

[@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!!

[@masroorahmadbani1712]

When I beat lord uncle. I got the trophy "there can only be one" I then had to kill him for the sake of both comedy and honour. Truly one of the best games of all time. I enjoyed every second of my playing it. Very good video.

[@andreluisconceicaolemos6552]

The ghost of yarikawa mission its just perfection

[@juliansmith-mclallen1784]

Played this game a couple years ago, and looking back I think it would be CRAZY but also kinda cool if they made dying to lord Shimura one of the endings.

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

[@samuelashbaugh8075]

I did this recently. Would definitely recommend. Every duel against a non-Mongolian opponent sucked.

[@Yoshikage1945]

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

[@formulacold]

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

[@djpearcy]

Ive platinum this game on ps4 and im actually now playing the ps5 version and gonna platinum it again. Ghost Of Tsushima is an amazing game.

[@kirank287]

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

[@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.

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.

[@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...

[@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
