Just started the game this morning.

FANTASTIC so far.

This game wasn't on my radar and I never really considered it. But, I have Gamefly so I decided to give it a chance. I'm definitely enjoying this game. I know when I enjoy a game, I do most of the side content as I progress through the story.

I do wish there was a fast travel. Being that I want to do side content, it would be nice to fast travel. But, it really doesn't take long to travel via horse around the map.

I'm currently playing Ronin as well. 40 hours into the game. Just want to let you know that there is Fast Travel. You have to raise the banners in each district in order to unlock them which at that point is used to fast travel between them and to heal/restock like in souls games.

Great to know. I figured there would be something like that. I got a decent amount of them unlocked, so next time I play. I'll go around and raise the remaining banners

They also help replenish your supplies if you have them in your inventory.

I’m about 70% through the story so far. I really enjoy how there are two story lines…protagonist vs antagonist. The hang gliding is actually a lot of fun too and the coop missions are a great feature. I wish there was a way you could all mic ip like in Ghosts of Tshunima Legend mode but sometimes mics can be a bad thing as well know.

My only two gripes so far are

1. The combat is fairly too dependent upon countering and timing it up. Once you get it down the fighting because fairly routine. It’s the boxing equivalent of just being a counter puncher and

2. I wish the main character would actually speak his lines. They do a pretty good job at character development and the voice acting by the other characters is well done but in 2024 you should be able to hear what responses you choose when speaking to other characters.

Good to know. I'll definitely spend time going around and raising every banner

I agree with those gripes.

1 noticed how counter dependent combat is. I would be okay if it was the case formidable foes. But for average foes, I should be able form my own gameplan to defeat opponents. It does damper combat for me that I have to be attacked and counter it to defeat opponents. Not a game breaker. It just feels like the game wasn't designed to go on the offensive. It would've been nice to learn more combos and more strategies other than just combo combo. .

I don't get the point of choosing a voice and editing the pitch if you're not going to
speak after the beginning. My character spoke 2 words and I got surprised lol. It would've nice if they spoke their lines even if they had to lock it to 1 male voice and 1 female voice

Other than that I'm enjoying the game. My main gripe is just the counter dependent combat m

I attack attack attack and have no issues with it, yes I do have to counterattack or I take damage but just saying you def can go offensive and not just wait for them to attack

Re: Rise of Ronin PS5 videos thread

I'm glad I found out about Fast Travel. It makes getting around so much quicker. I love that we can fast travel mid mission. Most games disable fast travel in missions. It makes completing missions so much faster. I can also complete side quests so much quicker.

I don't get how they couldn't record lines with the protagonist. It's weird having most of the game feeling like the protagonist is a mute, then have sparse lines once in a while.

Any tips on increasing stats for Strength, Charm, Intellect, and Dexterity? I can get Skill Points without an issue. But have barely gotten stats

Finally beat the game. Apparently, I put 58 hours into that game lol. That has to be the most time I spent on a game. I wouldn't say I 100% the game. I did all the collecting in the areas, but I didn't do the part after you completed the game. After putting in 58 hours, I was done with the game to do essentially the New Game Plus. I agree with O-Dogg, after I got my weapon proficiency and Attack level to a certain point, I was able to go on the offensive and not feel so counter-dependent

Overall, I really enjoyed this game. I probably could've saved 15-20 hours if I didn't want to do all the collecting and side missions. But, I wanted to take my time with this game. I still don't like how little the protagonist speaks. When the protagonist actually speaks it feels so random and surprising. Also, don't like how lifeless the protagonist seems. The characters in general could've more life to them. I know early on visuals was a talking point. I didn't have an issue with visuals. But, I will say that it does visually look like a PS4 game, but, I don't have an issue with that. There was a lot in the game where I didn't really learn until the game was almost over that could've helped early on

What I'm about to say isn't fully geared towards this game, but it's geared towards open world games in general. I don't really like how predictable and bloated most open world games are. While I did put 58 hours into this game doing as much as I could, most of the game felt repetitive and bloated. I'm not complaining, but there were times where I thought "it's not over yet?". Again, I did enjoy the game.

You know, I agree. Like in Red Dead 2 I love how open it is, and that many houses you can go in.

But how about for technology now let's have ALL buildings as buildings you can go into, in some fashion, every building is fully rendered inside and out.

Semi-off topic, I'm surprised that Read Dead 2 never got a remaster or at least a next gen patch. I guess that's one good thing about Rockstar is that even though they might over-milk the same cow, they won't just do a cash grab title. Red Dead 2 is a game I would revisit if it had a next gen patch to improve resolution and frame rate

Like I said, I enjoyed the game. I wouldn't put that much time into it. But, towards the end, I was skipping a lot of the dialog because I felt the game was dragging a little.

I wouldn't mind seeing more linear games that had creative level designs, good story pacing, more substance over repetitive fluff. Like you said, being able to go in every house. A more interactive living breathing world. While I got 58 hours out of this game, I would like to see more 12-15 hours stories that outside of it is filled to the brim with substance
