Also, when in a standoff - look at your enemies' feet I'm not joking - when they're trying to trick you, they will move their upper body, holding their legs still. When they actually strike, they'll move their legs before anything else
Same here, way late. Got the game for Christmas and been playing it casually. Probably 8 or 10 hours in. I despise open world games because I play for a while then I don't play for months and when I come back I forget what to do and how to do it LOL! That's actually true for me for a lot of games. Anyway, I keep coming back and playing this game and am enjoying it so much that I kind of want to start from the beginning and make different choices but I won't because I don't have the time to do things again. This video and another one that shows a screen shot of the map where a charm I heard about in yet another video was located have sparked even more interest. I hope all who are playing or have played really got the same from it that I did. Finally, this video is very well done kudos for the great tips!
My tip is to get travellers attire early, wear it, upgrade it to full. It looks insanely cool, and not having combat perks from the armour will make you better at the game. It will also teach you how to use charms effectively. Get inari charm and amaterasu charm right after prolouge. They are relatively close and they help a lot, especially inari which will help you get resources for upgrading much faster.
I’m on the opposite end. I just bought the directors cut on sale and passed the title screen after a little over an hour and I had to stop myself and start diving online because I had a feeling I was about to have an Experience.
I never played or watched stuff about the game because I knew it would come out one day for PC, and now I’m totally overwhelmed by how beautiful the game runs on my PC and how deep the story is. It was well worth waiting.
One thing I kinda wish they had is a honner system to get that full samurai feeling cuz most of the time I avoid stealth cuz it more fun to feel like a badass taking on twelve guys at once pause
Yeah, I thought this was the whole point of the game. Disappointed to learn it means nothing. Would be cool to have 2 possible outcomes with your uncle depending on how much you stray from his teachings.
Haha, I picked the game up for PC couple Days ago. I love it. Really. It's amazing and so good it makes me keep track of the Story. Listen, watch, read, all of that, and I am normally not a Story-Enthusiast lol. Haven't had so much fun in a Singleplayer game in probably 2-3 years. I have been doing Side-Quests only for the first couple ( a lot ) hours. Continued, or rather, actually started the Main Quest yesterday haha. I just couldn't stop clearing those things, hunt for every "?" i came across, leveling skills, resolve, health and all the other stuff, becoming stronger and stronger. Stronger than one should be for the first actual Main Quest. xD But I love it. But this approach means that it took me a long while to find a Swordsmith. Been fighting with base level Swords lol. Instantly felt the power-up after upgrading it. Also got the Bow a lot later than you could, a looooot later, which changes the way you can play the game. Love the bow. Enabled better strategies, long range "sniping" is super satisfying , taking down enemy Bowmen on the ground or on the annoying towers a lot easier haha.
Got platinum on this, already play NG+ and beat the game twice..and now I know like literately after this video....the flute can change the weather XD. Btw, Iki Island has the best gear and skill in the game.
Just bought this game yesterday now that it's available on PC. Going to jump into it later as I'm on holiday for another 9 days, I foresee a few late nights/early mornings. Thanks for the very informative Video :)
just got this game cuz i never had a ps4/ps5 but it came on pc so i FINALLY get to play it. when you ride ur horse for the first time and it shows “ghost of tsushima” on the right it kinda throws a lot of tutorials at u rly quickly so its kinda confusing. this video helped a lot, thanks!
I rarely finish any games, mostly get bored real quick and drop em but GoT is ... different. Already on my second playthrough, haven't tried ng+ just because i wanted to see the whole intro again lol but yeah... fuck this game is good. There are a few things that i wish mods will help with but jeez i can't get enough of it. Here is my list for anyone starting the game now that it's on pc, mainly focusing Immersion. (on top of the tips in this video) 1. Don't teleport and don't rush it. you'll miss a lot and you'll end up rushing things for no reason, this open world is a true gem and you should explore every nook and crany of it. 2. While traveling for a mission do the "time sensitive" side quest that you'll find along the way (help my familly needs to be saved type mission) instead of going back to them once you finished the game, it makes it more immersive. 3. Roleplay as much as possible. For example don't switch gear before a fight, in the middle of nowhere etc, but prepare before hand and base your choice around YOUR playstyle. It makes your choices more impactful and more immersive. I STRONGLY advise anyone to NOT rush this game, it's a masterpiece that need to be savoured from start to finish. Like i said earlier there are thing that could have been better but no game is perfect, nothing is.
Great video, thanks! My tip would be for the player who doesn’t want to spend 60+ hours (initially) playing the game. You can beat the game by only playing Jin’s journey missions. If you have the DLC avoid traveling to Iki island when asked; that mistake must have cost me 4 game hours I did not want to spend off from the main missions just to get to a point I could travel back to Tsushima. So the main story can be less than 20 hrs if you decide to only play Jin’s journey. That said once I finished the game, I was hooked at this point and I have been throughly enjoying taking over Mongol territory and finding the cute Fox and following him to hidden shrines and exploring EVERYWHERE. It’s a super fun game and can be played through however you like and to me that’s what makes this game special!
The stealth in this game is so powerful and easy that its almost boring. I never really care about strength, if I am detected, they are dead anyways. The combat feels fluid, challenging and the most fun I had in a while. Feels somewhat in middle between AC games and elden ring in higher difficulties. You can die very quickly even if youre fully upgraded.
I reached a bit further in my Tsushima journey before watching, but definitely recommend this video for anyone new watching. Would recommend all points that the video mentioned
No consequence for stealth makes sense from a story perspective. I just started but a theme the protagonist is grappling with is breaking his code and the psychology that was instilled in him since he was a child. Jin breaking from tradition and using guerilla tactics is teaching him how to adapt and survive when fighting an enemy with no perception or commitment to honor. By any means. Man, this game rules!
Oh and honorable combat is the most satisfying! . . . I play on lethal and I only ever use ghost weapons if im about to die lol The Ghost is OP mid to late game. Wonder how Ghost 2 will go? Maybe play as a student on mainland Japan? 😊❤
@@sarandaz Aha , but when I killed the Khan I thought it would have an end finally but then I continued the tales but when I liberated all the the occupied status I then had nothing to do so I stayed lost and now Im starting the game again. I wish that you can see explain this
i hope pc players find this vid helpful as i did
They do!
My tip is to wear travelers armor always, except for duels, which your can change armor even when in combat. Just will make you a better swordsman
I wore it the entire play through and i finally got the fundoshi armor and am playing to play new game plus with it on
Also, when in a standoff - look at your enemies' feet
I'm not joking - when they're trying to trick you, they will move their upper body, holding their legs still. When they actually strike, they'll move their legs before anything else
This ^^ very good tip!
I learned that in Kendo, of all places. I strike in the standoff when I see their weight shift.
But they can also stomp their feet Wich can trick some people
I know I'm way late to the party with this game but just started playing it, and this video helped a TON! Subbed up thanks so much!~
Me too dude. Totally skipped out on playoff football this past weekend to play.

@@dexaler9008 put in 80 hrs and got platinum on my first play thru.

Just earned the Platinum for the game, but I don't want it to end so i'm watching tips videos and reviews! Great video as well.
Thank you really appreciate that. I don't want it to end either!
Congratulations!
Platinum on Lethal mode?
I’m on the opposite end. I just bought the directors cut on sale and passed the title screen after a little over an hour and I had to stop myself and start diving online because I had a feeling I was about to have an Experience.

The Inari charm effectively triples the amount of resources you gather which makes leveling up the gear a lot quicker and easier.
One thing I kinda wish they had is a honner system to get that full samurai feeling cuz most of the time I avoid stealth cuz it more fun to feel like a badass taking on twelve guys at once pause
PAUSE 😂😂

I want to add to Tip 17; go to options, then game play. Enable armor loadouts. Don't just dress for the occasion, have the right charms as well 😉.
Got platinum on this, already play NG+ and beat the game twice..and now I know like literately after this video....the flute can change the weather XD.
Btw, Iki Island has the best gear and skill in the game.
And that was a REALLY Beginner's Guide. Really objectively driven and aldo entertaining
Every beginner should watch this video first...it's perfect 😊
Thank you so much 😀

I am absolutely impressed by Sucker Punch what a beautiful game!
absolutely agree! this is one of the best games of all time
I got to say that after Elden Ring, Dark Souls and Sekiro, this game is a breath of fresh air.
oh wow, yeah have a more relaxing time haha
ACTUALLY Solid tips. Thanks man. Subscribed! Definitely hope people find this helpful as I did.

Some great tips coming just in time for my early game play. Thanks!
Excellent I'm glad they help have fun 😁
Facts just downloaded it
This is how every tips video should be. Answered all my curiosities
“You were detected by them, but they’re very dead and can’t tell their friends” 😂😂😂
I didn’t know that you can save a set of armour and have the suitable charms saved under it
You can switch to your saved armor set as per situation 👍🏻
Using quicknstep and roll properly is just as good as parries etc imo
Best tips video i have seen about this game !
Nice video, calm and understandable narrative.
My tip: stack charms. Like Resistance I, II, III.
Excellent video.
10:21 another tip that I found especially for kunai.. turn on target lock so it doesnt miss like this
Wow! Thanks for the great tips. Just starting this game and it's a little overwhelming.
I'd say do the main missions until you get the hook, then go nuts
Great video! Looking forward to more videos when game on PC is released
Very helpful tips bro 🙏🏼
Nice little video.
Oh and honorable combat is the most satisfying! . . . I play on lethal and I only ever use ghost weapons if im about to die lol The Ghost is OP mid to late game. Wonder how Ghost 2 will go? Maybe play as a student on mainland Japan? 😊❤
Ty! Great stuff!
Great video thanks for sharing 👍
I refuse to use stealth, because Im a badass
I fight all of them head on
power to you!
Great tips
This was a really informative video
Glad you liked it :)
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video excellent
Toxic wind chimes are pretty good
Yes,really good
i like! very nice
Don't you think the story has been copied from one of the most underrated games Ryse The Son Of Rome😢😢😢
Wow you cant get predator skin from "not a predator"
😂😂😂😂😂
So does that mean if you use another katana or armor that you lose the one you previously had equipped?
no.
I’ve done 2 play throughs of this and am on my third now why am I watching this?
Lol well I'm very grateful that you did watch thank you 😊
@MenWhoStareAtGames you’re welcome bro this was entertaining
Playing this on 60fps is so good. AC combat is trash compared to ghost of tsushima. They should just rip it off lol. Mirage was okay but too easy
Thank you in 2024 🎉❤
You're welcome in 2024
Can anyone tell me how to get a samurai helmet in the game
Iki island
Which tales section should I finish first??
I mean I have Jin’s tale and the other two ones
Which one should I go first?
Order does not matter. I'd say go for the ishikawa one
@@sarandaz Aha , but when I killed the Khan I thought it would have an end finally but then I continued the tales but when I liberated all the the occupied status I then had nothing to do so I stayed lost and now Im starting the game again.
I wish that you can see explain this
I do the Yuna mission, then Ishikawa, then Lady Moroka.
The hype was way too ........... false for this game.
started playing this on friday for the first time! thx for doing this! lot of tips I didn't know!
It's 1 of my all time favorite games
Forgot the most important one. Go to settings - gameplay - loadouts- on. Your welcome
