@HallowMoonshadow I’ll be curious to see how you like GoT. Sucker Punch puts a lot of polish on their games, so you’ll be able to feel the quality right away. Whether you click with the gameplay and story will be the question.
I never played any Sly Cooper games, but I quite enjoyed all the inFAMOUS games. However, GoT is such a change in direction for them that I didn’t really feel much similarity to their older stuff.

Ain't that the truth?
It's been a while since my last true open world game... I think aside from a brief stint with Genshin Impact for a second time it was Days Gone (Which I hated on both fronts) so... Yeah. Hopefully I'll enjoy Tsushima! 😂

Well I definitely wasn't expecting anything like Sly to rear it's head but I assumed some inFAMOUS DNA/design philosophy would've bled into GoT at least! 😄

@HallowMoonshadow I suppose the open world-ness is a carry over, and some of the 3rd person shooting mechanics could be iterated from inFAMOUS, but GoT is definitely it’s own thing.
And like @RogerRoger says, there’s a slight risk of open world fatigue in the middle sections, so it could be beneficial to have an alternate game to play alongside as a distraction if it grows tedious. Honestly I felt it dragged less than other open world games like Assassins Creed or even Horizon Zero Dawn. The uniqueness of the navigation systems and guidance from wind, along with more focused side quests that have mini narratives made it feel like it had less ‘filler content’ than other open worlders. But still, if it’s not your first choice in genre, our only hope will be that you enjoy Jin as a protagonist and get invested in the storyline. It will help a lot if you’re interested in Japanese/Mongolian history.

@HallowMoonshadow I really enjoyed Ghost, only playing it when I got my PS5 so without all the hype around it.
That opening section is fantastic and I thought the whole atmosphere of the game was wonderful (how can people ruin that with English dialogue? ) and had a great supporting cast too.
My main gripe was that the game was quite quick to give you all your abilities so you had everything about a third of the way in, apart from one skill.
@Anti-Matter
Which in and of itself is fine, it's good you have a hobby you enjoy. But maybe sometimes explain something about the game you are currently playing or what it is you enjoy about it or why it appeals to you. Repeatedly stating you only play 'kid's games and/or 'girly' games often just seems like baiting to me.

I only play kids games because I like cute looking stuffs with lesser violence things.
I still tolerate some mild to moderate violence level as long still tolerable to watch by teenagers.
I only play games rated Everyone, Everyone 10+, a few of Teen, CERO A, CERO B, PEGI 3, PEGI 7, PEGI 12 games.
The reason I only play kids games (with a few of Teen games) because I have traumatic experience in the past when I was kid by get exposed with rated M stuffs from video games and movies. I didn't even play those stuffs, I accidentally saw those gritty stuffs from public places that I really regret when I grew up. I was really angry to realize that those gritty stuffs already ruined my life when I grew up. And since then I hate every single rated M stuffs and I consider them as a crime and evil stuffs. And that was the reason I only play kids games.
Side notes about girly games, believe it or not, I grew up by Sailor Moon during year 1995 when I was grade 6 student. I like girlie franchises too when I was kid such as Sailor Moon, My Little Pony, Jem and the Holograms, Barbie, etc. Girly games on NDS and Wii amplified my hype to get into girlie things from video games and thus I like to play Cooking Mama games, Barbie games, Imagine games by Ubisoft, My Universe games by Microids, Dance Dance Revolution, Para Para Paradise, etc.
@Anti-Matter well life isn’t always easy, so for sure we should all take what enjoyment we can, from where we can get it (as long as it isn’t hurting anyone of course 😉).
… I have traumatic experience in the past when I was kid by get exposed with rated M stuffs from video games and movies.
So I grew up in a pretty rough area, deep within a region rife with unemployment and little money. I say that as I’ve since mixed with people who were brought up in middle-class and wealthy families and the above comment reminded me of one of the glaring differences that we identified when discussing our childhoods. Us council-estate ruffians would ‘wear’ 18 rated movies like badges of honour on the primary school yard.
I distinctly remember a 10 year old me and my 8 year old mate ‘borrowing’ as many 18 rated movies as we could carry from his uncles house every Friday evening, to see us through the weekend. Then we would look forwards to Monday morning where we could lord our violent/scary/sexually explicit cinematic exploits around the school yard. It was something very common amongst kids my age in that area at that time.
Conversely, when I have discussed this with people from different backgrounds later in life, they’ve been quite horrified. Some of them still won’t watch a horror movie and they’re now in their 40’s (which does make me chuckle if I’m honest). It’s hard to say what impact all this exposure to adult-themed media had on us street-urchins when we were far too young according to the ratings board… but I’d imagine that there have obviously been some negatives… but also some positives that have resulted during the journey of our lives.
One thing for sure is that it had a total opposite effect on you than it did I. Where as you’ve turned your gaze away from the ‘hard’ media entertainment… I find that I’m always after something harder, or darker etc. no judgement on what is the better result… or the worse… it’s just interesting 🤔.
@colonelkilgore I remember seeing Sleepy Hollow when I was like 7 and being both horrified and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I was lucky/unlucky enough to be in the catchment area of a very middle-class Catholic school despite also being a council estate kid and so I can totally understand what you mean. Could potentially be related to the fact us poorer kids definitely discovered girls/boys earlier on too. My personal theory is that our parents were too busy trying as best as they could to keep a roof over our heads to micro-manage exactly what media we were consuming. Whereas the richer kids often had their mums staying at home all day and scrutinising what they were watching. I’m a big wuss though and scared myself off horror movies early cause my mum’s always been of the mindset that if she lets us try stuff ourselves then we’ll soon learn. Never been much of a drinker, not really into drugs and I never really sought out 18 movies and games since they were never seen as something illicit that I was missing out on.
Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still, I'm still @colonelkilgore from the block.
Used to have a little, now I have a lot
No matter where I go, I know where I came from.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@nessisonett it’s pretty much become cliche at this point but I’ve always found the nature vs nurture debate very interesting. My very ‘general’ observation has always been that there was probably a 50-50 impact on a mature person from the 2 N’tures… that doesn’t sync too well with our sharings here though, so gawd knows.
Slightly off topic, I was already in my 20’s by the time Sleepy Hollow released… and while I liked it, it seemed more like fairy tale to me by that point in my life but I’m sure like you if I had watched it at 7 it would have left an indelible imprint.
Massively off topic (but strangely en-thread) just picked up Observer Redux - don’t know much about it but whenever I hear people moan about Blooper team someone always counters with this and everyone suddenly backs up with “Fair comment!”, Ultra Age - interesting looking sci-fi character-action ‘em up & Black Paradox - again, know very little about it but the 80’s vibe of the trailer gave me a kick.
