Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut is the first PlayStation title on PC that uses a new PlayStation overlay, which includes your Friends list, Trophies, Settings, and your Profile. This feature is available on Windows PCs and will be accessible from the in-game menu or, for keyboard players, by pressing the “SHIFT +F1” shortcut on your keyboard.

What in the hell equivalent on modern system requirements would a 1660 Super be? The thing is still getting me good performance in most things, even new things, but the requirement lists have all moved on to RTX models for nVidia's side of things. I can guess from this I might still get 60fps at 1080p on Medium settings; but maybe not if that all depends on DLSS being employed which my card doesn't have.

I think this has to be in the contention for most overrated game of all time.

Before you grab your pitchfork, I'm not saying it's a bad game. It's fine. The combat is solid, the boss fights are fun and it's very pretty. Was very well optimised too, ran like a dream on an old, fat first gen PS4.

It's not the greatest game of all time though, or anything close to it. The open world is your garden variety UbiSoft style, the tone and the writing is all in a stoic monotone with only crumbs of Kenji to break it up, and the quest design is uninspiring at best and awful at worst. On top of it all the game is way too long considering those flaws.

I know it's been hyped up, but I still recommend waiting for a sale.

Doesn't the Steam overlay already do this?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It sounds like you can access your actual PS network friends and earn PS trophies. I hope that is in addition to achievements on Steam itself and not a replacement. I would imagine many people getting the PC version don't have a PlayStation in the first place.

It does, but Sony didn't go through the crash and burn phase on PC yet so they need to add their own fancy overlay before killing it in a few years.

If you read the article you'd know that it's for cross platform progress of trophies and it also includes your PlayStation friends. Neither of which Steam does

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

You can't see your achievements for a Steam game in the overlay? I rarely ever use it, but that seems like something that must be there. Are we talking about the Shift+Tab overlay, or something else?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

PlayStation trophies and PlayStation friends.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Oh, well yeah, of course. I can't see my Xbox Achievements on PlayStation, etc.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Playstation trophies and steam achievements are two different platforms. Why would playstation trophies be tied to your steam account?

I’m envious of anyone getting to play this for the first time. This game was amazing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I've waited all this time for it to release on PC. Looking forward to it!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

The game was great. Definitely not perfect, as a lot of the open world stuff was samey, but the combat was so good I almost didn't give a shit.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I'll accept your jealousy with grace and aplomb, because I've wanted to play this since release but haven't owned a PlayStation since the PS2.

If someone was playing the first Dark Souls for the first time and wanted advice, I'd say something like

To time your parry, watch the enemy's hand when they swing to attack; when their hand starts to come down, parry

Can I ask for any tips like that you might care to impart? 😊

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

That souls tip helps too but watch their feet instead of their hands

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I can’t think of any tactical tips off the top of my head since its been years since I played but one thing i remember is to always explore. The side quests give gear and fighting techniques that make your journey much, much easier.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Thanks! And: Oh good. I'm the kind of person to scour a map like a swarm of locusts; sounds like this might be a long one for me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Then my advice would be to also advance the story. I did my usual thing of exploring and mostly clearing areas before advancing the story and as a result I got a bit bored in the late game, because as you progress, the portions of the map locked behind story progression get smaller and smaller.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Do we really need overlays like this? I'd be fine with just playing the game.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

I don't know how many different overlays I could have. Like at least 3 or 4. But I couldn't tell you how to activate most of them besides Steam and Nvidia.
