Today’s game is some more Ghost of Tsushima. I finally got my controller issues resolved! Turns out all I had to do was set the Steam Input to “Default” in the game config. For some reason it seemed to default to disabled there. Now it works perfectly with my trusty PS3 controller.

I wanted to talk about little details in this game. Like how when I was riding through a field Jin leaned down to touch the grass. Really small but cool detail I liked. It also helped to make him feel a little more human because if I was in that situation I’d totally do the same thing and try to grab it.

I also wanted to briefly talk about the photo mode. I’ve been getting into photography recently with a DLSR I bought used, and I have to say this has my second favorite photo mode I think, right after Alan Wake 2.

It does make me wish though for a photo mode with a fake DLSR. I know it’s really niche to want but I’d love to toy with it a little.

To end off the night I wandered off in search of a hat. I didn’t find one, but I found this lovely hot waterfall area with a Haiku. With all Jin had been through in his time frame I thought he deserved a nice break so I sat him there and let him do a Haiku before chilling there until tomorrow. Where I think I might pick it up again now that my controller isn’t giving me issues.

I never have enough time for games, but I loved this one so much that I made time.

The visuals were amazing. The story was decent, and the gameplay kept me engaged.

I especially liked the second island. Hallucinating on a tropical island while battling inner demons was a perfect intermission between acts.

I have yet to fork out $80 for Yotei though (I want it, but that's pretty steep for me). It seems most reviews say it's got a lot going for it, but it's just not Tsushima.

Yotei lost a lot of interest from me when I found out it won’t be on PC. I do have a PS5 I bought second hand from a friend but really that’s just to play my old PS4 games and some occasional PS5 releases. With the 80$ price tag I’m really thinking I’ll skip out on Yotei. Which is a shame. I was excited

Just wait for a good sale. Consoles sales aren't as good as Steam sales, and Sony games don't get as deep sales as Ubisoft games, but you can still get them at less than half the price in an year or two.

This game runs and looks amazing on the deck. For a while it was given the black "unsupported" mark on the deck because the deck didn't support the multiplayer mode, so they literally broke off the MP as free dlc. They definitely put work in to make it look and run wonderfully just for the deck though and it shows.

Wasn't super impressed though past the visuals. Nothing pulls me back to this game. Formula just feels flat.

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I just got my deck back after loaning it out, so I might have to give it a try on there out of sheer curiosity

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

You could do far worse. It's surprisingly smooth and still looks phenomenal.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 3 days ago

I'm with you. I thought it was alright but I never saw what everyone else seemed to see in the game. I do admire it for being both beautiful and immaculately optimised however.

[–] CrayCray@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I love it that you post everyday what you are playing. Thank you :)

I upvote every single one that comes across my feed. I don't comment on them all, but our friend Atticus has absolutely inspired me to stop doom scrolling and pick up a controller. So many times I've found myself enjoying the game a lot more than I thought I would because I decided to just play

And they've turned me on to games I've previously written off as "not my thing." Also the engagement in the comments too has been really awesome; I've learned a lot about games I've played and even completed before

I know they've got a lot going on, but through these posts what I've gleaned is they have a good friend group who also games. I'm thrilled to see these posts but I know I'll be a little sad if they trail off. Which is alright, they have no obligation to us, but it makes me happy seeing someone having a good life with friends, and exposing me to awesome games and moments within them

So to echo the above poster, thank you :)

It makes me happy to see me inspiring others to pick things up. It’s something i always hope to do when I post these.

I know things are rough right now for a lot of people, both socially or even just mentally, but even just giving people suggestions of things to try that may be within their options (like older games they may not have known exist) is something I’d like to do (though I bet it’s probably a bit weird to hear me say because I play a bunch of newer-ish games).

I’m not really sure what the point is I’m trying to make, but im happy too motivate people to try new things.

You are right about my friends too. I probably don’t give them nearly enough credit but they’re a large reason I’ve managed to keep from getting into a slump myself. Even just waking up in the morning and seeing someone say “Hey, you guys free for Halo?” or saying “anyone want to hop onto Zomboid tonight?” really brightens my day and helps me feel a little less alone or burnt out. I doubt any of them will see this (and I’m going to go tell them I appreciate them after this) but they’re definitely an unspoken motivator for me

Ghost is such a pretty game. I only played it on a ps4 pro, but I’d love to play it on a built gaming rig someday. Iirc, Jin will put his hand out to touch the grass while walking through those fields as well. I think that it’s a wonderfully humanising thing to see

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I love saying protagonists humanized. I feel like it’s easy to make a protagonist that’s just a bland stand in for the player. But to make a protagonist that’s feels like they actually breathe and live in the game world and not just cutscenes and dialog? There’s something really neat about that I love
