Yea i played about 11 hours already. There's a ton of customization options, and unlockables. Not too hard or grindy too. Loving it. Can't believe SP released this for free. This can easily be 20-30 bucks on its own. With this update, this game has officially become my GOTY along with P5 Royal. Don't miss out guys. Playing coop with my friends was so fun.

So, can you use the costumes and stuff in single player or is it divided?
Do you think I should start playing coop now or wait till ps5?

I made it through the first island and shelved it because I was going to wait for a PS5. That doesn't look like its happening so I think I'll start again tonight. Great game so far.

There are some classes which will have unlocks from the main game, but some you will have to earn from playing legends only.

It's awesome. I picked the Assassin first and today I unlocked the Archer.

I am really enjoying playing both solo and coop.

Before this update my GOTY was Nioh 2, now I just don't know anymore, Sucker Punch really did an amazing job!

"All time" is a long time.

It's a great update, but calling it the "best free update of all time" simply makes it feel that this is that YouTuber's first rodeo.
I give him the benefit of the doubt since he was the guy that Miucin stole the Dead Cells review from...

I'd argue probably not, for example the original Team Fortress Classic was a free update for owners of Half-Life or the original Wolfenstien Enemy Territory which was given free to everyone as an updated version of multiplayer for Return to Castle Wolfenstien.

"greatest free update ever" has alot of contenders especially if you reach back into history before the AAA's realised they could shaft there consumer and then have them defend them for it.

For a free update, there a ton of content in it. I'm playing the Samurai first, picked the Assassin as my 2nd class unlock. Very Destiny like without the pressures of constantly playing it. I like it immensely.
 
It's great (some dev could have easily charged for it). I remember the days when we had something like Uncharted 2 around. Single-player, Multiplayer and CO-OP in one package Day One.

Yeah... It's sad to see what ND decided to do from TLU on (selling shitty thingies for the online part), Uncharted 4 online is great, but the online microtransactions are sooo silly... While Ghost has zero microtransactions, with all the skins that the games has, I am sure that in the hands of ND, they would add paid loot boxes and battle passes.... Ghost of Tsushima is probably the most complete game of this gen.


A full single player experience + a full coop experience with no extra pay wall.


I bet that some studios reacted this way:

While the likes of EA, Activision and 2k:

After Ghost.... I honestly think that SP is my favorite studio from Sony!

So tempting to buy this now, but I'm guessing this game goes for $30-$35 on sale during Black Friday. Savings this to play on my PS5 as well.

Any news of a ps5 upgrade for this game? Would hate buying it next month and then a paid ps5 upgraded version shows up

It's really awesome. Currently trying to beat story mode weekly challenge on Nightmare and failing
 
This expansion is crazy good for a free rollout. Im surprised at how much there is here and how much fun it is to be playing with a group. Dense group encounters do become a bit of a cluster fuck which leads to random deaths but overall this is great.

The story missions really do change quite a bit once you start upping the difficulty and it goes from just being a mad run through enemies to a much slower more tactical pace. You die really really quick when you just rush some of these groups.

How do you do the special emote though? I know swiping on the pad will bow, play the flute, etc but how do you perform the ones you unlock?

What do you mean with "the story missions"? did they added single player story mission with this expansions?!

There are missions you can play solo or co-op. It has a little story and narration, but nothing major or characters etc. Some are simply clearing areas, while others require more specific/unique things to be done. These are Legends only, and not in the Single-Player mode.

Please explain to a Tsushima fanboy who doesn't do multiplayer. Why is Legends being so warmly recieved but something like Avengers is not?

They need to at least have an unlock option for the PS4 version, right now both Pro versions are locked to 30fps so the PS5 won't do much.

Have done all survival and story stuff on bronze. Did a quick run of silver in story and was surprised at how much harder it gets. Quite enjoyable all around.

Not sure I'll play enough to gear up for the raid. We'll see.

I managed beat the story on Nightmare yesterday after over 6 hours of trying. But completing it to get a weekly challenge requires playing the last part with the curse that forces you and your buddy to stick close together and that's just insane. I'm not done, gonna try some of this:

To get to 80 Ki, you need to grind out Quick Play it seems? Done with Silver story, and did a silver survival but that takes an hour almost.
