I want to ttalk more about open world game design. So, not specifically about Ghost of Tsushima (which I’m pushing through), but about the genre in general. Basically, I’m comparing Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions) and Elden Ring (FromSoft) because I haven’t played many other completely through. In fact, Skyrim (Bethesda) and The Witcher… Continue Reading
I’m done talking about Ghost of Tsushima (Sucke Punch Productions) in specifc–well, kind of–but playing it has spuured thoughts about gaming in general. Here is my last post about GoT, which was about the game in general–and my issues with it. I wish I didn’t have the kind of brain that, upon seeing an open… Continue Reading
I have more in me to say about Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions), apparently. This is not part of the A Quick Look series, though the last post of that is here. This is more a post about–well, you’ll see. I’m pushing on in the main story, and the seams are starting to show.… Continue Reading
And we’re back to the fifth post of A Quick Look at Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions), which I promise will be the last one (probably). When I said in the last post that I had not done the first story mission, I mispoke. I have. I just have not done the story mission… Continue Reading
This is my fourth post on Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions). I know that seems like a lot for a quick look, but it’s not–at least not for me. Also, I’ve put in over 16 hours of gameplay, so four post doesn’t seem like that many. In the last post, I mostly talked about… Continue Reading
I’m on part three of my ‘quick look’ at Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions). In yesterday’s post, I talked about my difficulty with the combat. Before I go on with that, I want to acknowledge that there is an accessibility tab in the options menu. I said yesterday that Sucker Punch doesn’t seem to… Continue Reading
I have more to say about Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions). Here is my last (first) post about the game. I was musing about the combat when I wrapped up the first post on this game. I don’t love it, but I know that is me rather than the game. Or rather, it’s my… Continue Reading
Ghost of Tsushima (Sucker Punch Productions) has been on my radar for quite some time. It was a Sony/Playstation exclusive, so of course I was not going to be playing it for as long as it was locked off from the PC. Now, it’s on the PC. Nixxes Software did the port, and, apparently, they… Continue Reading
Talking more about gender. And about dating. Because that’s where I ended up in the last post. And why I am done with cishet white dudes. I had an argument decades ago with a white dude about reading material. This was when I first realized that I was Taiwanese American and wanted to read literature… Continue Reading
Let’s talk about gender, shall we? We shall because it’s my blog and I can do what I want. Also because gender is important–and yet, I wish it weren’t. Let me hastily add that I don’t want to take gender away from anyone for whom it’s important. My BFF, K, and I have discussed whether… Continue Reading
