Best looking armor really might be from that grave-robbing jit

Holy shyt. They don't call him Takezo the Unrivaled for nothing! I'm playing on hard, and this dude beat me harder than a cop beats their wife!

The game even started asking me if I was good and wanted to keep going. I felt insulted!

I like the Nine Tails ones in all black

I haven't gotten ever piece of armor but Undying seems unfair.

Spoiler: Ending

yeah fukk this game I knew Jubei was out of there from the beginning and sure fukking enough
The story is very flimsy and predictable
A bunch of plot holes for me that went unanswered
The game is beautiful no doubt and the side missions are dope but the combat and controls leave much to be desired
Parrying in this game feels way off and these boss battles with humongous HP is fukking frustrating to the max
They heard the complaints that GOT was too easy then went a souls route and I fukking hate that
Hard and Lethal should be just that
But fukking MEDIUM
I always start from medium to just enjoy the story but fukkING MEDIUM
I want to platinum this but it don’t hit like GOT
I don’t care, argue you with yo bytch
This ain’t GOT and it doesn’t leave me feeling dread like with Jin at the end
Atsu is a very cardboard cut out protagonist
I wish they gave her more character development instead of
I’m gon kill errybody
Oh shyt my brother is alive but I still pay him dust and shyt on him
Oh shyt I’m an aunt, now my thinking is grey
Oh shyt the bytch that was in the gang spared me and “saved my life”, alls forgiven
Oh shyt my people got kidnapped, now revenge doesn’t mean that much to me
Oh shyt I got my brother killed now my niece is an orphan
nikka if this ain’t the story of how emotions run a bytch and a nikka faces the actions and consequences of her thinking
Even my wife was like
That’s one stupid ass female character
I never fully had emotional ties to her and that’s what separates the two games
I feel SP did a disservice to her character
Like let’s have more explanation on why her father and mother were considered traitors
Let her find out the reason and to see it wasn’t a cut a dry death for her parents
I want to feel something for her character not annoyment(I know that’s not a word
This reminds me of Furiosa
7/10

Finished at 45 hours. I feel like the game feels better to play than it actually is. Very iterative from the 1st game. I think the 3rd game needs to innovate a lot to be compelling. I don't think this formula works a third time gameplay wise.

Finally finished it, great game. I thought the graphics, combat, and open world were all better. Atsu was a great character and I believe will get more appreciation later on once this dumb hate dies down. Ultimately I still liked the Tsushima story better but this one held its own.

If they do make a 3rd and final game, I am hoping its something with the mainland, we heard a lot of mainland talk here so it would be a nice direction.
