So my sister just had a baby and we're going to visit her next weekend, so I decided to be responsible and low key it from groupsthe next week...SO, ample time to play Ghosts today. I figure I must have at MINIMUM 20-23 hours sunk into this game already........and I just NOW completed act 1.
I THINK I cleared all the shrines and fox holes on the first island, along with all side quests, mongol strongholds and hot springs. Aside from finding more collectibles, island one was pretty much done.
The end of act 1 into act 2 is non stop. When I was finally able to save and be on my own, I realized I had been sweating fairly aggressively for some time. Shit was intense.
Barring anything falling apart in act 2 and 3...I can confidently say this will go down as my favorite game of this current gaming generation. I didnt play TLOU2 but I will still make the statement. This game isnt perfect...it has a lot of flaws actually. Hell, it doesnt even really do anything new...but it takes all the best parts of the genre and puts it into such an enjoyable and beautiful package, that its easy to turn a blind eye to any shortcomings.
Its rare that I sink any measurable amount of time into a game that isnt an online shooter or Forza but this is one of them. I'm likely going to make sure I 100% everything when its all said and done and I REALLY hope that this game ends up having DLC. I will happily pay for it. However, I more hope that a sequel is announced by end of the year. Or a prequel...or something set in this world. Its that fucking good.
