Ghost of Yotei Will Not Be As Repetitive as Other Open World Games

Sucker Punch plans to make the open world in Ghost of Yotei more interesting.

I remember reading that they even included their last game in that thinking. Trying to make it less repetitive. In GoT I loved all their side quests and the characters in those side quests. They all felt really fleshed out with their own adjacent stories. They were not repetitive at all imo. Maybe some of the open world filler were. I wonder what they'll do to try and improve in that regard. Really excited for this game. I also could give a flying Fk that there is a female protagonist. It's not like she's wielding a 2-meter greatsword. It's not like she's winning arm wrestling contests against the men. She'll be fast, silent and deadly.

Chasing the foxes to a shrine got old real quick… can’t seem to remember the other boring repetitive tasks but GoT was quite repetitive in that open world filler.

@rebel I agree. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed the game and the beautiful world that was built. I enjoyed it so much I even platinumed it. However, I do recall several task like follow the fox or find the bird that got a bit repetitive after a while.

Tsushima was almost perfect.

[Goodguy01]

Tsushima mitigated this with exploration and beautiful landscapes. Although yes, sidequests and activities were quite repetitive, comes with being an open world. The character sidequests were interesting though as they expand upon your comrades.

I have yet to be disappointed with sucker punch.
Fully trust them with ghost of yotei.

Unrelated, anyone found a good short way to call it yet lol.
GoYsounds lame.
Atleast with the previous one it was GoT.

Ghost 2

[pwnmaster3000]

Yeah I guess. It just doesn’t hit for me.

“ I have yet to be disappointed with sucker punch. “ especially in the gameplay/fun department.

An open world game that didn't use the scope of the world to pad it out with typical filler, but used it as an epic background for a focused storyline would be interesting and refreshing.

Red dead redemption 2 was perfect. Everything was fresh.

Ghost of Tsushima did not manage to hold my interest, I might get back into it at some point. But man all this open-world slop nevers ends does it lol

[MeatyUrologist]

So you want every game to be linear? I mean I get if you don't like all the collecting or additional side quests, but if you just follow the main story you can make most open games fairly linear. I guess if you just want to jump from mission to mission and walk down a strsight path, but personally I love the freedom to explore, uncover secrets, and just admire the environment on my own pace without constantly being "on a mission".

[Limitedtimestruggle]

Oh no not at all. I'm just not a big sucker for the open-world games. If I ever want to dive into Yotei, I hope it will provide me with a better experience vs Tsushima, which oddly I did not connect all that great with. It has a setting that I love, and a beautiful world. I do love a nice linear and curated experience for sure. Not every game need to be a bloated experience imho.

Exploring, uncover secrets, admire the environment. I love doing those things but If I expect to have a good amount of things to do in an open world game. Sushi ghost had like maybe 4 or 5 things to do. Bamboo cutting, chasing foxes, the shrine platforming, and sitting in hot springs. I dont really remember discovering anything special. I know its a very different world but GTA 5 is one of my favorite open worlds because of the stuff you can do and random occurrences like people stopping you to try and sell you something or just to have a conversation, someone might ask you for help bc their friend is in trouble or something, only to take you to a dark alley and try to rob you. Stuff like that makes the world truly feel alive imo and it can be a really fun time. Sushi ghost couldve added at least a few more things like fishing and hunting so you can provide for starving families, maybe target practice with the bow, or horse racing. Make it feel more alive

That's what I like about insomniac and sucker punch they try to tone down on the collect 50 of these and a 100 of those all for a small reward lol. Their side quests don't overstay, they give a nice amount to do but not too little. That's how it should be, open world genre needs a revamp, that's why so many people feel fatigued by most titles, we don't want to just roam around areas with nice graphics with nothing to do. Give us in depth interiors, interesting random things happening, funny encounters, it should feel lively. Hopefully next year we have some real open world gems fr, most open world titles are still on early ps4 gen type level

[TheKingKratos]

That's awesome

[EternalCynic]

Ghost of Tsushima had literally 5 enemy types that it used for the entire game, so I'll believe it when I see it.

[WolfSeed]

Of course not. Now they will add inclusive content. So advanced! 🤯
