I really like the burning scene, as someone who's studied the Mongol Empire a lot. It's very realistic, and something like it could plausibly have happened in real life. Firstly, Mongols did sometimes fill their cups with oil or highly flammable alcohol, and use it to light their enemies on fire. There are a lot of accounts of that happening from the era, so good on Sucker Punch for doing their research and finding something cool from real history. Secondly, the Khan in this scene isn't disrespecting the samurai by setting Adachi on fire. From the Mongol perspective, it's a massive insult from the Japanese to send a nobody to demand single combat with them. In Mongol culture, family lineage was far less important than in Japanese culture, and having a distinguished family name meant nothing if you couldn't back it up with actual merit. To a Mongolian, someone demanding to fight them in single combat just because they have legendary ancestors, would be viewed as impudent and weak, unable to stand on their own merit. This, btw, is why Khotun Khan accepts a fair fight against Jin later, on the bridge, when he could just have Jin killed or captured easily. Jin has earned the right to a duel at that point, by killing a bunch of mongol soldiers beforehand.
@@harshuttarwar1027 Yes, it's probably just a title meaning he is a descendant of Genghis khan but not necessarily the supreme leader of the Mongols. Even as a fictional character with the title of khan, it really doesn't make sense for him to be the great khan because the khan of that time period was Kublai khan, whom he refers to as his brother.
Bakary Dembélé Woah now. If I read this correctly people agree with you on this sentiment. Isn’t this the exact thing Naughty Dog was trying to portray? That everyone is just human. Nobody gets a special outing. This isn’t directed at you personally, but smh I frickin hate gamers.
Basically Mongol are kind conqueror. They send envoy first to ask a state to surrender to Mongol Empire. But some empire got arrogant and torture the Mongol envoys or even kill them. In this case, Japan ignore Mongol envoys. That's the consequences when u deny Mongol. Luckily some empire have good luck that they can defeat the Mongol invasion. Japan, Majapahit, and few others.

While Mongols never discriminated anyone , even if you were the enemy while having so much skills and merit without any background of nobles , you would be spared and given a new life and accepted as a Mongolian citizen Where The Japanese will never see you as their own despite learning the language and loving the culture. Even Ninjas were more honorable than the Samurai in real history. Hattori Ninjas never betrayed their lords while the same right hand man Samurai of the same lord Backstabbed him (That Lord was Oda Nobunaga/Who even favored GUNS over so called noble sword duel LMAO) Mongols are way cool, Samurai are cool too , but they are different and unique in their own ways, Samurai are heavily romanticized for films and video games. Learn to differentiate between fiction and real life.
Vean Studio Nah. Dying with honor is dying in battle, dying while fighting tooth and nail, with heart, blood, sweat, and tears. Not someone disrespecting the fuck out of you by throwing alcohol on you, setting you on fire, and then decapitating you. There’s no honor in that. That’s embarrassing. I was embarrassed for the guy and shook my head is dismay.
@Vean Studio you already dishonor from "i jump a man" part buddy, if you are challenge that man a duel for his cash and he accept it then whatever the outcome yoy keep your honor
I’m seeing a lot of people in this comment section talk about how most of the people in this video are playing this game the “wrong” way because they chose to have English audio instead of Japanese and I just want to say there is no wrong way to play the game play what ever settings you like but don’t hate on those that would prefer to hear the dialogue rather than read it.

@@Gatz22 agreed, im just saying that Lord Adachi dying in this way does not invalidate his "greatest warrior on Tsushima" status, as he was not defeated in battle fair and square.

There is no such thing as "cheating" in a war, I guess. You do what you gotta do to kill your enemies. With or without honor. In the end, the winner gets to live.
@@ArmchairRizzard Right. There was no duel that started or happened so there was no victory or loss.

A Shogun is sort of a military leader of the country back then. The highest position is the Emperor, followed by the Shogun, then the Daimyo, then Samurai, with the lowest being Peasants.
The best thing about this scene is that it really tells us WHO Khotun Khan is. He is the acting Khan of the Mongol invasion of Japan. He has studied, trained and learned everything he could about his enemy, their culture, their practices, their beliefs and their people, while the people of Tsushima and the whole of Japan were in times of relative peace. He came not to respect the culture, but to conquer it and then sublimate it into the Mongol Empire. He is a ruthless, cunning and powerful figure who will use everything at his disposal to win... which is why Sakai Jin has to do the same. Khotun Khan already knows the Samurais' tricks and tactics, and knows how to combat them effectively, as shown in this scene and in a scene later on where they use explosive horses on a bridge. Being a Samurai against the Khotun Khan WILL NOT WORK. The game has shown us this from the OPENING FUCKING SCENE! Khotun Khan is a fictional character, but is utterly deserving of the name of "Khan"! Wonderful work, Sucker Punch, just from this scene alone. The rest of the game is just as good, if not better. The Last of Us 2 did not deserve ANY awards, and this game deserved many. It's too bad the public votes were only taken to be about 5% of the voting weight, while the pre-selected jury of "game journalists", which we all know are fucking terrible gamers and not at all experts, were the ones who had the most weight in the voting, and they very obviously chose the shittiest game I've ever fucking seen, The Last of the Us 2, to vote for Game of the Year... Fuck that! Ghost of Tsushima won the People's Choice award, which is in truth the only award that really matters. No matter what anyone says, Ghost of Tsushima is the Game of the Year. The Last of Us 2 can burn in fucking hell. TLOU2 has the single worst written story I've ever seen in a video game... while Ghost of Tsushima is one of the best I've ever fucking seen in a video game. I applaud Sucker Punch for all their hard work, and wait with bated breath for what they do next.
@@rockycuro7737 TLoU2 was in direct competition with Tsushima during the game awards, and for some ungodly reason won over it. Shitting on TLoU2 was absolutely within reason.
@@rockycuro7737 You're right. TLoU2 can't be a competitor to Tsushima because Tsushima is great and TLoU2 is shit. However, at the time of writing the original comment, it WAS in direct competition to Tsushima during the game awards. If you open your eyes and do the smallest of google searches, you'd know that. So complaining about it was reasonable, as there is a direct connection between the two games because of their involvement with the game awards. Secondly, my complaining being in a "crybaby way" is completely subjective to you. You're complaining about my complaining in a very crybaby way, you crybaby.
Before the samurai fire you can see one single arrow fly as it was samurai tradition to begin battle with a single arrow being fired the attention to detail is amazing
I loved it. I loved the samurai's ego to demand mongols to fight according to his demands and I loved the mongol's indifference to his honor. Executed on spot. So satisfying.
Pewdiepie lately being edgy and trying to be cool. I don't like the recent pewdiepie.. It's like he force his reaction and talks. I miss the old pewdiepie when he still play The Last of Us and other games like in.. around 2013 - 2015. He really talk about the game and the reality stuff.
DB T I still like Felix but not when he streams games.Talked over most of the Japanese dialogue or read the chat, so in the end he says the story was lacking. He loved the game though and still gave it an 8.9/10.

After hearing an explanation and reading history, it turns out the Mongol invasion consisted of 3 ethnic groups, Mongolian, Chinese, and Korean support, they set targets on the islands of Tsushima and Iki, but Japanese warriors and samurai were able to defeat them but I thought there was help beyond human limits. also namely nature. really happy with this sucker punch masterpiece, I learned history, which I didn't care about.
@@xeacarons Wrong, the Japanese defeated(or at least hold off) the Mongols enough for them to have to rely on reinforcement to back their invasion. Only for the storm to smash their reinforcement. They should have studied the weather too if they were planning a naval invasion.
I just finished and got the Platinum today. An amazing game. The ending had me tear up. Depending on Cyberpunk this game is my GOTY hands down. An amazing experience from start to finish.
I don't think Cyberpunk will make it into this year's Game Awards because of its release date. Same thing happens with Jedi Fallen Order, which launched last year but will probably be nominated for GOTY this year.
@@shortysavage6094 considering it's solely single player I'm not sure what else they could add. I'd say it's already definitely made it's $60 worth of content
Was waiting for someone to point out that the big guy is Attila the hun! 😂 I said it was him when I played it but didn’t know it was actually him till I saw it on twitter😂
To mongol proclaiming your ancestors is some hella disrespect since it just means u ain’t done shit to deserve your praise other than the nuts you came out of.
@Captain Lazypants It feels more like a line the developers add to the game rather than something the leader of the Mongols would say. Khotun Khan, though he didn't exist in real life, would be a nobody as well since Genghis pretty slap every cheeks he every see
The running joke of Adachi getting Clapped is the funniest thing in Corys gameplay videos lmaooo. He kept clowing this mans death hahaha i was literally in tears it was so funny
This opening sequence was the reason why I unloaded every sticky bomb and explosive arrow I had while Khotun was running towards me in the ship. He taught me well.
What’s funny is anyone who’s at all familiar with how samurai REALLY behaved during this time period know it wouldn’t have gone down like this. The samurai would have charged them with arrows raining and little to no warning at all. They would have leveraged every possible advantage they could against the Mongols. This whole code of honor that’s a core part of the story in this game is all bullshit. It didn’t become a thing until the late Edo period. During this period and even more so during the sengoku-jidai period samurai were absolutely RUTHLESS combatants. There was no dishonorable way to kill your opponent. You just killed them by whatever means necessary.
This game is fast becoming my GOTY for this year. Absolutely amazing. I HIGHLY recommend trying out the Japanese voicetrack as the voiceactors do an phenomenal job, sadly the lipsync is only in English but still.....I prefer it in Japanese.
This game will be remembered in eternity for having one of the best openings ever hands down. My heart was pumping like mad when you and the rest of your men were racing down the hill with burning arrows flying towards you with explosions left and right with yelling and screaming of death and destruction. An awesome game to say farewell to the PS4 generation. Thank you, Sony.
Adachi-Spouts a bunch of stuff about his ancestors and who he is and that he wants to fight Khotun. Khotun- "You done? Okay, now let me show you how much I care"
Is no one gonna talk about the fact that the guy who splashed wine on Harunobu looks like/is the guy who played Attila the Hun in Night at the Museum? Is it just me who noticed that?
Cool compilation, but what I REALLY want to see you do next is a compilation of gamers reacting to the scene shortly after this one, where the main Mongol says, "I am Khotun, cousin of Kublai, grandson of Genghis." I want to see their reactions to this guy revealed as being related to Genghis Khan.
I literally cannot stop playing this game, it is epic in every sense of the word, gorgeous graphics that u can't take your eyes off of, the details are insane
Lord Shimura: “Don’t worry men it’s not bad as it seems.”
Jin: “But uncle, Lord Adachi was our tank!”
Perfect example!
Is that an SAO Abridged reference I see?
"Don't worry we have an army of dps"
"Alright, so maybe it's in the ballpark..."
"It's fine they're all AD just build Tabi's"

The best thing about this scene is that it really tells us WHO Khotun Khan is. He is the acting Khan of the Mongol invasion of Japan. He has studied, trained and learned everything he could about his enemy, their culture, their practices, their beliefs and their people, while the people of Tsushima and the whole of Japan were in times of relative peace.
He came not to respect the culture, but to conquer it and then sublimate it into the Mongol Empire. He is a ruthless, cunning and powerful figure who will use everything at his disposal to win... which is why Sakai Jin has to do the same.
Khotun Khan already knows the Samurais' tricks and tactics, and knows how to combat them effectively, as shown in this scene and in a scene later on where they use explosive horses on a bridge.
Being a Samurai against the Khotun Khan WILL NOT WORK.
The game has shown us this from the OPENING FUCKING SCENE! Khotun Khan is a fictional character, but is utterly deserving of the name of "Khan"!
Wonderful work, Sucker Punch, just from this scene alone. The rest of the game is just as good, if not better. The Last of Us 2 did not deserve ANY awards, and this game deserved many. It's too bad the public votes were only taken to be about 5% of the voting weight, while the pre-selected jury of "game journalists", which we all know are fucking terrible gamers and not at all experts, were the ones who had the most weight in the voting, and they very obviously chose the shittiest game I've ever fucking seen, The Last of the Us 2, to vote for Game of the Year...
Fuck that! Ghost of Tsushima won the People's Choice award, which is in truth the only award that really matters. No matter what anyone says, Ghost of Tsushima is the Game of the Year. The Last of Us 2 can burn in fucking hell. TLOU2 has the single worst written story I've ever seen in a video game... while Ghost of Tsushima is one of the best I've ever fucking seen in a video game.
I applaud Sucker Punch for all their hard work, and wait with bated breath for what they do next.
splendid explanation. couldnt have said it better.
You couldnt go through a monologue praising GOT without shitting on TLOU2 huh? I wonder how terrible it feels to be so angry over a video game
@@rockycuro7737 TLoU2 was in direct competition with Tsushima during the game awards, and for some ungodly reason won over it.
Shitting on TLoU2 was absolutely within reason.
@@guikoi3101 no it's not. Especially not in the crybaby way you did it
@@rockycuro7737
You're right. TLoU2 can't be a competitor to Tsushima because Tsushima is great and TLoU2 is shit.
However, at the time of writing the original comment, it WAS in direct competition to Tsushima during the game awards. If you open your eyes and do the smallest of google searches, you'd know that. So complaining about it was reasonable, as there is a direct connection between the two games because of their involvement with the game awards.
Secondly, my complaining being in a "crybaby way" is completely subjective to you. You're complaining about my complaining in a very crybaby way, you crybaby.
Typical gamers reaction after the beheading was halarious

Before the samurai fire you can see one single arrow fly as it was samurai tradition to begin battle with a single arrow being fired the attention to detail is amazing
I loved it. I loved the samurai's ego to demand mongols to fight according to his demands and I loved the mongol's indifference to his honor. Executed on spot. So satisfying.
Actions always speaks louder than words.
I like the moment when he shouts NO MERCY!
Everyone: Ooooohhh My God
PewDiePie: Hell Yeah
Pewdiepie lately being edgy and trying to be cool.
I don't like the recent pewdiepie..
It's like he force his reaction and talks.
I miss the old pewdiepie when he still play The Last of Us and other games like in.. around 2013 - 2015.
He really talk about the game and the reality stuff.
DB T I still like Felix but not when he streams games.Talked over most of the Japanese dialogue or read the chat, so in the end he says the story was lacking. He loved the game though and still gave it an 8.9/10.
@@DBT1007
Dude is trying to have fun
It’s because he has limited time as the video was a stream and not pre recorded
Not only that, just mere minutes ago, his PSN was bombarded with messages because he accidentally showed it for a couple of seconds. So he was trying to make some jokes to de stress
Let the man have his fun. He is almost retiring now
After hearing an explanation and reading history, it turns out the Mongol invasion consisted of 3 ethnic groups, Mongolian, Chinese, and Korean support, they set targets on the islands of Tsushima and Iki, but Japanese warriors and samurai were able to defeat them but I thought there was help beyond human limits. also namely nature. really happy with this sucker punch masterpiece, I learned history, which I didn't care about.
Japan actually got really lucky because storms out at sea sank a lot of the Mongolian ships. Lord knows what would’ve happened had that storm that it.
Jp warriors didnt defeat them a storm came in and cancelled da war. They say dat kamisama protected Tsushima from war
XEA I know, I was just kind of abridging it lol. I don’t think they ever actually met in battle.
XEA oh, my bad lol
@@xeacarons Wrong, the Japanese defeated(or at least hold off) the Mongols enough for them to have to rely on reinforcement to back their invasion. Only for the storm to smash their reinforcement. They should have studied the weather too if they were planning a naval invasion.
And theres Pewdiepie
Don't care virgin. He's got a Dark Souls armor!
I can't stand Pewdiepie. I skipped his part.
@@ArmchairRizzard lol, why, for making a joke?
@@Alex-yq1ci no, for a variety of reasons. I skipped because I ALREADY didn't like him. Not because of this video. He's insufferable.
@@ArmchairRizzard good for you.. btw you don't have to trash anyone in a comment section ..
@@ArmchairRizzard I'm with you I cant stand him
Oh yeah coryxkenshin. Makes me happy!❗️
I just finished and got the Platinum today. An amazing game. The ending had me tear up. Depending on Cyberpunk this game is my GOTY hands down. An amazing experience from start to finish.
Same nothing to do after platinum tho, kinda sucks
I don't think Cyberpunk will make it into this year's Game Awards because of its release date. Same thing happens with Jedi Fallen Order, which launched last year but will probably be nominated for GOTY this year.
@Bock728 between this, FFVII, and maybe Cyberpunk.
@Bram Mourik I know right? That's fucking major hours that dude put into it nonstop.
@@shortysavage6094 considering it's solely single player I'm not sure what else they could add. I'd say it's already definitely made it's $60 worth of content
Who else just saw Cory and was like hex yeah let me watch
Me
MEE
Not me he too cringe and not funny
@@bxndzup_ron LOL
godmode121 in your opinion
Was waiting for someone to point out that the big guy is Attila the hun! 😂 I said it was him when I played it but didn’t know it was actually him till I saw it on twitter😂
That’s Attila the Hun? I thought it was Genghis when he First appeared but later thought he was Khotun Khan after he said he was
Ok is it spelt Atilla or Attila?
Smith Wesson Attila or check google
@@theepicdude1019 He was Atilla the hun in Night at The Museum.
Sweet-Sour Chicken the actor? Dang, that’s amazing
Khan: "Samurai, Do you Surrender?"
Streamers: "yes please"
That throat singing in the background made the scene even more badass. God!!!
Kotun Khan: Samurai, do you surrender?
Me: You son of a bitch i'm in
The Dude: I am the Legendary Dude. My dad is this legendary dude!
Random Guy: *throws disrespect and the burns....
To mongol proclaiming your ancestors is some hella disrespect since it just means u ain’t done shit to deserve your praise other than the nuts you came out of.
@Captain Lazypants It feels more like a line the developers add to the game rather than something the leader of the Mongols would say. Khotun Khan, though he didn't exist in real life, would be a nobody as well since Genghis pretty slap every cheeks he every see
The running joke of Adachi getting Clapped is the funniest thing in Corys gameplay videos lmaooo. He kept clowing this mans death hahaha i was literally in tears it was so funny
This opening sequence was the reason why I unloaded every sticky bomb and explosive arrow I had while Khotun was running towards me in the ship. He taught me well.
Harunobu Adachi requests to duel the Mongols
Mongol Leader: *I'm about to end this man's life*
*_BRUTALLY._*
Ik he samurai and all but it was pretty stupid walking into a group of enemies by yourself not gonna lie 😂
Thank you someone realize how stupid tht was
yes but a proposition was offered but yeah you clearly see how that turned out
Jordan R they wanted to break the enemies’ spirit, they probably didn’t realize that the Mongols didn’t want ro be respectful
What’s funny is anyone who’s at all familiar with how samurai REALLY behaved during this time period know it wouldn’t have gone down like this. The samurai would have charged them with arrows raining and little to no warning at all. They would have leveraged every possible advantage they could against the Mongols. This whole code of honor that’s a core part of the story in this game is all bullshit. It didn’t become a thing until the late Edo period. During this period and even more so during the sengoku-jidai period samurai were absolutely RUTHLESS combatants. There was no dishonorable way to kill your opponent. You just killed them by whatever means necessary.
Lone Shinobi as person living in Japan and someone who is playing this game right now, this honor thing makes me cringe.
Mixed reactions deverses more than he have
@@mozes6305 no people do this on UA-cam he does deserve more
He does

He gains a lot of money from this
"Son of legenda....."
Drunk Mongolian: Hold my fire.
'The finest warrior' was sweeter in night at the museum
This game is fast becoming my GOTY for this year.
Absolutely amazing.
I HIGHLY recommend trying out the Japanese voicetrack as the voiceactors do an phenomenal job, sadly the lipsync is only in English but still.....I prefer it in Japanese.
5:55 ish is my favorite.
"That's it, that's the game? That was worth $60, holy shit."
This game will be remembered in eternity for having one of the best openings ever hands down. My heart was pumping like mad when you and the rest of your men were racing down the hill with burning arrows flying towards you with explosions left and right with yelling and screaming of death and destruction. An awesome game to say farewell to the PS4 generation. Thank you, Sony.
Jin's and shimura reaction is just heartbreaking. Like they're in complete disbelief.
Adachi-Spouts a bunch of stuff about his ancestors and who he is and that he wants to fight Khotun.
Khotun- "You done? Okay, now let me show you how much I care"
This game is INSANE! What a superb game. GOTY hands down.
I'm imaging a Braveheart game in this style, man... it would be awesome as well.
When Lord Shimura said "No Mercy", my blood was pumping and boiling.
The second reaction kind of weak but I was waiting for this video I’m still picking my jaw up from this game great vid
"OOOOH DAS A CHONKY BOI!"
- GoldGlove 2020
Who else knew that Adachi would be burned alive when they saw the “drink” and that the mongol was related to Genghis?!
What
Wutt
how Typical left the room after dood got his head cut off LOL
I really like the "Japanese" version when Kutan screamed "Samurai" much better. Just gave me chills and was much more intimating.
I was expecting Chris Smoove to say "Get that guy a mat" 😂😂😂😂
"Samurai, do you surrender ?"
*random youtuber : "...yeahh"
end
Was anyone else's first reaction to this scene: "Wait....is that Attila The Hun from Night at the Museum?"
Alright can we talk about the fact that we have Cory and Dontai in the same compilation so beautiful 🤧
Harunobi adachi: face me I'm the legendary blah blah
Khan: Hippity hoppity, you life is now stoppity
Dontai's reaction 😭
Is no one gonna talk about the fact that the guy who splashed wine on Harunobu looks like/is the guy who played Attila the Hun in Night at the Museum? Is it just me who noticed that?
it is the same actor.
this scene will forever be carved into gaming history
Yes, indeed!
5:53 best scene 😂
"that's the game? That was worth 60 dollars?"
The gamers got panicked when suddenly they had to attack the Mongols. 🤣🤣🤣
Cool compilation, but what I REALLY want to see you do next is a compilation of gamers reacting to the scene shortly after this one, where the main Mongol says, "I am Khotun, cousin of Kublai, grandson of Genghis." I want to see their reactions to this guy revealed as being related to Genghis Khan.
He did spend too much time talking rather than fighting so he basically let hisbguard down and the Khan besically said screw you let's fight
yeah "Fight" lol
When you think you was ready 2:05
watching cory this excited actually made me happy in the inside
I swear the khan looks like the guy from night at the museum
I love how the first guy react, he just like put all of his feeling into the battle like a true samurai :)
His name is CoryxKenshin he's a good yt u should check him out
That gloco's erwin's "susume" impersonation was on point damn.
I haven't complete the game yet but so far this game is incredibly impactful and definitely be Goty
I literally cannot stop playing this game, it is epic in every sense of the word, gorgeous graphics that u can't take your eyes off of, the details are insane
First one was funny asf because he be roasting Adachi throughout the whole walkthrough more then the mongols 😂 🔥
The best part about Cory's reaction is that during the Masako side quests, he keeps referring back to this moment 😂
MAKE A REACTION COMPILATION TO UNLOCKING THE GHOST STANCE! that was one of the coolest moments of any game I’ve ever played.
One of the most EPIC openings in a video game ever.... Got goosebumps....
I Can't remember the last time I was so instantly locked in by the intro of a game. I just had a big dumb grin through the whole thing.
I bet they had no idea how to continue Harunobu's story so they decided to kill him off before we even play the game
Obviously these streamers are more enjoying this game rather than playing TLOU2, just bought ghost of tsushima and its amazing
Imagine playing as a gay and seeing the best character die while the worst characters keep annoy you in every minute
@@n124ajdx "playing as a gay"? trash statement, leave that out next time and just say the second half of your statement.
Because they want some fantasy epic “real life” experience, not nitty gritty stuff that resembles what happens in real life
@@lowresolutionbunnyfeng3919 TLOU2 doesn't resemble real life any more than Ghost of Tsushima
Rymith84, it does in terms of human interaction , emotion, and downright body language, sure the infected are fake, but the humans arent
"that was our toughest guy!!"😭
BRUH JASMINE'S FACE SAID IT ALL 😂😂😂
I love how it wasn't just me who reacted to that first scene like that, sooo epic.
