DrDamn Also, Ubisoft seems to have done a pretty good and respectful job of incorporating Japanese tradition and information. A bit of a misstep in allowing the improved destruction carry over into areas it shouldn’t, but they addressed that day one. One thing I did notice though, was the “please respect the Torii gates by not climbing on them” message, but leaving them peppered with L1 grapple points seems a little at odds with that.
Gordon I’ve unlocked Yasuke now, and can safely say that he doesn’t follow the same cautious counter and parry-heavy style that Naoe does. It’s more along the lines of “just batter the absolute shit out of everyone” and it’s a lot of fun.

DrDamn Jogort yeah Ubisoft seem to have been in trouble for a bit, so this sort of deal was always coming. So I’m desperately trying to follow my own advice for chapter 1 to focus on the first two assassinations, but … Fomo! What’s that? Where does this go, I’ll just check what that ? Is on the map there… 15 hours in and I haven’t killed one of them yet. Almost there with one and got a bit done on the other. Still having lots of fun though 😁
Gordon DrDamn I was doing the same until I got to a tomb which I was pretty sure could only be done by Sasuke. At that point my FOMO turned into actual MO, so I dropped everything else until I’d unlocked Sasuke.
DrDamn Got him now, so I can happily go back to the first area and fill in my map 😁 Both characters feeling quite powerful and I haven’t even spent the 34 mastery points on Yasuke yet 😮 Lots of nice things to tinker with, builds, weapons, skills, base etc.
