Oh my fears put to rest. The CE looks great. The mask looks especially sick.
There are some markers that do appear on the map like towns but enemy encampments are usually discovered through explorations or from rescued NPCs. When you do clear the encampment it defogs the surrounding areas of that encampment revealing points of interest.
So clearing enemy camps acts basically like synchronization points in Assassin's Creed?
How does the size of the map compare to other open-world titles?
Pre-orders are above RE3.
The game should do 1,5-2M in the first 3 days.
Superb OT.
Game is outstanding! Love every second!
GoT > TLoU2.
If there's a part 2, i hope they'll have a bigger budget.

I'm impressed you managed to session The Last Of Us Part II in a weekend. For me it was way too intense (Hard, no Listen mode, no upgrades) to do that. Self-imposing but the amount of focused concentration I required to get through most situations was insane so I played it for about 2 or 3 hours a night over a couple of weeks.
I'm looking forward to playing a more general open-world experience, a little lighter in content, in tone and mechanically. I'll still settle for the stealth route, though.
I feel like I will enjoy Ghost of Tsushima more than TLOU2.
While TLOU2 was very impressive, it didn't shake up the series enough from a gameplay perspective. GoT will seem more fresh in comparison and less confined, even if it doesn't reach the high spectacle moments and sheer attention to detail that ND created.

I think I'll enjoy GOT more as well, but for different reasons. TLOU2 was a bleak, miserable experience. ND did a fantastic job with their attention to detail, crafting an incredible world, and memorable characters. However... fun, it was not. It was truly kind of a slog.
A game about the aftermath of a deadly pandemic... during a deadly pandemic? Just wasn't feeling it.
Dont really agree with that they change alot in the gameplay. But this isnt the topic for this.
I mean I've beat the game too. It's not accurate to say nothing is marked on the map until you discover it or hear about it from an NPC. It's really not much different than AC's approach. At the end it fills the entire map with all the enemy encampments without having to explore
At first glance I thought it was smaller but then it's appropriate for the scope of the game. Definitely not Witcher 3 in terms of map size. Not too small but not too huge as well.
It felt like a more tedious version of that system to me, since the encampments (which are all very samey) are much more plentiful, take longer to clear, and reveal a smaller area of the map

Nice OT. My PS4 is mainly for exclusives and I haven't played one since Days Gone so it will be nice to boot up the PS4 again. I was watching a lot of videos last night and the combat sold me on the game, AI flaws and all.

Thank you!
Definitely interested to hear more opinions. It's a decent game. The story and characters are very weak, the depiction of Japan is bordering on orientalist fantasy, and the open-world suffers from the checklist map-marker-waypoint syndrome that plagues a lot of open world games. But the core game fundamentals are really fun: the combat is awesome and I love navigating the world. The controls are snappy and responsive and the environments are stunning. There's still a lot of fun to be had with the game, even if it's a bit of a mixed bag overall
Yes

I am enjoying the combat so far overall and have spent most of my time just wandering around the map doing random things. Game looks amazing on an OLED and I am enjoying myself so far. Story and characters are mostly an afterthought to me in open world games so they aren't bothering me too much and I have barely done the main quest missions. Game is pretty responsive for a 30 fps title even if the animations can get a little wonky at times during traversal/movement.
While it is prone to open world checklist follow the marker stuff I do enjoy the wind and the minimal/no HUD elements even if it is just a visual masking it goes quite a ways to keeping me engrossed in the games visuals and atmosphere without worrying about just following a marker on screen. Interested to see how the game pans out once I start tackling story content.
1800p using some form of checkboarding/reconstructing according to the DF video from earlier.

Totally fair. I do think this game places more of a focus on story than some open worlds though. I wish there was an option to skip cutscenes. Wouldn't use it for my first play through but I found that I was often just a bit bored by the story sequences and wanted to get back into the action
That's fair, although the novelty of the wind wore off after a while for me. In the end, it's not much different than any other compass system
