GOT review embargo up on 14/07

Pretty sure they said there is no karma system in GoT. Your choice is to tackle encounters as a Ghost (sneaky sneaky) or Samurai (fluid swordplay).
That's why I used "karma". You can be the honorable samurai or the dishonorable ghost. I'm sure I will do at least 3 runs of it.

What time is it?
this game is gonna bomb. i have still yet to see anything exciting.

the only good samurai game is Sekiro (No, Nioh doesn't count either). this looks like some cheap ass action game with a Sekiro rip off skin slapped on.

no doubt the Sony Fan Boys will praise it as some masterpiece....

suckerpunch should've stayed with infamous.

Way of the Samurai would like to have a word with you.

For better or worse, GOT aim isn't to be like Sekiro but rather Assassin's Creed.

I bet on a 86 to 92 score. Sucker Punch is a great studio, but their games follow a strict pattern/formula to their world (liberating zones, doing side missions, gathering collectibles, then move to the next location and repeat). So I can see a lot of reviews trying to compare not for what it is or it's aiming to. It is bound to happen being compared with Ubisoft games and the GTAs of every time. The only thing that can set it apart from most of them is the setting, the narrative being compelling, and the gameplay (they generally nail the gameplay).

I'm sure this game will be great to complete and have multiple runs because of the famous "karma" system of Sucker Punch's games.
this game doesn't have a karma system, there is only one finale.

but if i remember well, some side characters react to what you do, i don't know based on what.

It’s fast pacing game. Adding pickup animation will make the pacing slower i guess. I don’t think there is other reason for that because they’ve been working on this game for 7 years.
I rather don’t have pick up animation than have to get off the horse and pick up flower or shits like slow ass rdr2 lol. Not saying rdr2 is bad but this is just my opinion.

Oh it doesn’t bother me one bit. I’m just pointing out that the newer Creed‘s do the same thing. Even TLOU2 does this.

I was talking about the dichotomy in gameplay systems, samurai or ghost.
oh okay.

you can still have some differences in term of sidestories because characters can hate you if you do something wrong, but we don't have many details about this feature.

breakdown 1 was legit better that gif.

and this is always a good excuse to post the trailer for that game, if the music doesn't get you riled up you probably don't have a soul.


There is no quirk like Japanese quirk. I just wish we saw more of it these days.

We'll always have Paris... err, Yakuza.

I wonder how this will all play out. I sure don’t know how to believe reviews after their 10/10 euphoria with the previous game. Not that I should have ever trusted them for purchasing decisions. I’m just glad Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls came out when it did. That way opinions formed far before journalist got on their soap boxes and took back their early access opinions. Either way I’m excited for this game and already bought a copy digitally.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. That story tweet nerves me a bit. No context to it. It’s like saying “this sucks” and leaving it in the dark for a week. That’s a garbage review right there.

Wow that’s low.

What exactly contributes to file sizes for games like this?
Dose file size really tell you how the game is gonna be? I mean, FFVIIR is not “open world” but that game needed extra disc to even able to play the game.

This Russian reviewer implies it curbstomps Assassin's Creed (if I interpreted his tweet right, yes I speak Russian).


I’m not a big fan of AC (last one I played was Black Flag) so on the one hand it’s a relief if this is better than an AC game but I’m also worried it’s even being compared to AC!

I guess they’re talking about AC odyssey for the comparison? Or just the whole AC series?

Anyway it’s positive news so thats good - keep the hype train chugging along:messenger_ok:

Just look at the day one patch, it's 7GB for the US version and 11+ GB for the EU one because it allegedly ads dubs for multi-5 countries.
Sony has been talking about their solution for fighting increasing game sizes in the next gen, that you could for example choose to only download the single player (or multiplayer) component of a game. I hope this applies to dubs as well, because I sure as hell don't do anything with French/German/Spanish/whatnot.

Cool story bro! But you need to try harder next time.
Do you have any more cool stories?
Oh, I see you do!
All I need is to pre order it. I've made my mind up to go Xbox this gen. I'm done with PlayStation. Don't even care for the price or release date. What ever it cost or whenever it releases just let me know and I will take one.

Well the literal translation is "people who compared GOT to AC be eating crow (be sucking dick)", either means GOT is better or they shouldn't be compared.
In any case it's a compliment.

Lol What is your idea of bombing?

I think it'll be Sucker Punch's best selling game yet

Let's ignore the fact that Nioh came out way earlier.

I platinumed Nioh 1, 2 and Sekiro and as far as action games are concerned, Nioh is superior, Sekiro has it easily beat on the level design and atmosphere though.

Ah OK... intersting... I'm gonna be wondering what that could mean all day now!

Well it's all intriguing anyway. Thanks for the info (y) (y)(y)
