Today’s game is Ghost of Tsushima. I climbed the mountain in the northern province while looking for a quest, and i have to say. This is a beautiful sight, and it really puts game worlds into scale. It’s really fucking cool in a way. I like how i can see the past area too my left, and on the horizon i can see a fuck ton of other things, such as what i think is some burned down woods.

Also something i noticed was that you can see Japan, just on the horizon. Either that or it’s South Korea, i’m pretty sure it’s Japan though due to the location. This also got me on a rabbit hole of just looking at the Island’s Geography and Terrain Map

Of course, the game isn’t just Horizons. On the way to the quest i found this lovely sight at a river. I love the way the sun plays with the water and creates this leading line. It drew my eyes out to sea, which i’m sure everyone can tell by now i’m rather fond of.

Finally, that brings me to the actual mission i’ve been building up towards. I liked this one, i felt like it was a lot more open ended than other missions tend to be. I really liked how it gave me the choice of going stealth or charging the bridge. In a way it’s a good representation of the moral dilemma Jin faces. He could stick to tradition and charge the bridge, which i feel most players wouldn’t pick due to the challenge, or he could sneak around and hijack the Hwacha which would be far easier. Or at least that’s how i saw it. It’s an interesting gameplay choice interpretations aside. It’s weird to think i’m nearing the end. I still have the DLC, but man, it went by fast.

    I like this. Do folks enjoy when others do this? Is this something I should share? Seems like a fun idea.

      You mean the screenshots? People seem to like it, and I enjoy doing it. I know there’s a few others who do it too but I think I’m the only one who does it regularly. But I like seeing what other people do, so I encourage people to share their own pictures if they’re feeling up to it!

    As far as visuals are concerned, I didn’t like this frozen area much. It lacked the colours and beauty of the earlier parts of the game.

      I get that. I can fully admit I’m just a little weird and like barren white spaces. I was actually backtracking in the more colorful are just today though and got this one I really liked:

      The earlier parts of the game were so beautiful. I played last year and spent so much time walking around, doing all the side quests and clearing the map. Got up to the frozen parts and was like meh, it’s pretty but after the other parts? Finished the main quest and called it a game.

        Yeah, maybe if the previous areas weren’t so beautiful this will look great, but after playing those this feels pretty meh.

      There’s a few people who were really wanting Doom. Honestly if no one said anything I would probably have never even thought of it lmao. I went ahead and borrowed a copy of Doom 64 from a friend, so that’s what I’m gonna share

    I’ll be honest that first screenshot is not a very flattering representation of the game’s graphics.

      It probably doesn’t help that I just found out my graphics were set surprisingly lower than what my system could handle just today. The only thing that was what I’d expect was Anisotropic filtering at 8x
