I think it's a good game, need to go back and plat it as I put it on pause due to Rebirth which I now also need to plat, too many games at once.

You got bored with it.
Nah, it was always my intention to play Rebirth on release. I just didn't manage to finish this plat before then. I'll do Rebirth then go back to this after.

that was generally my feeling on the first part of it too.
I left it for a while, came back to it, and complete ignored all the foxes and birds, all those shitty follow markers, you don't need them anyway, it's all cosmetic stuff.
I just stuck to the main quests, proper side quests, and mystic quests (which are the best part of the game) and enjoyed it a lot more then. The combat really starts to open up after a while.
It's a good game marred by too much open world bloat and not not knowing what it wants to be at times.
Those foxes are awful, Everytime you come across one, it takes you the complete opposite direction FFS. I don't think one has even been going remotely in the direction I was initially travelling. Going north? Fox wants to go hard south. Going SW? Yeah fox is going NE. Little pricks, should just chop them up and eat them.
Haikus are crap too.
Yeah I'm starting to stop with the side bits and just do the main stuff now. Seems a bit better, but already fatigued with it so may stop for a while and come back to it, worry is I'll forget the controls. I will complete the story at some point though.
When is the damn sequel coming out? Despite some gameplay issues it was one of the best looking games i've ever played and it would be interesting to see a current-gen sequel.
Also the way of the samurai and honour is fecking stupid in war.
"Yo, you've rescued me, battered any amounts of Mongols, rescued loads of innocent people, proven your tactics are good, but we are samurai so we have to charge in face on and get bummed to death because...samurai!!"

Still better than most other games.
Why are you still playing this? You've done nothing but complain about literally everything in the game.

I was thinking this last night during playing it
I think I still want to complete it incase number 2 fixes stuff and is better. I think I came in with my expectations too high tbh.It's not the worst game ever, but I don't think it deserved the praise it got either.
I praised the wind showing me the direction. It's got some decent storylines I suppose. It's a nice enough looking game and is fairly smooth play wise.
Something else infuriated me last night and I can't think what it was now. Oh wait yes I can. The survey thing, let's me survey the area but forces me to just use the one way/style.
Playing through this now.
Nowhere near as good as what the bumming of it suggests.
If this was made by Ubisoft it would have been like a 6/10 game. It's got all the same downfalls as the ubisoft games. Feels very A to B back to A for reward or to progress. I know that's pretty much every game ever, but this really feels disjointed ATM. Upgraded weapons and they seem to somehow do less damage
I've also visited a couple areas where something is clearly going to happen at some point in the story, but because I've visited too early it's just empty. Komatsu Forge, apparently enemy territory with zero enemies there.
I do like how the enemies don't always die and crawl about making noises though, even through the cut scenes, had some great times with that.
It's an alright game, pretty run of the mill imo, enjoyable but nothing amazing really.
Annoying how when you want to stealth, whoever you're helping just charges in, bellends.
The wind thing is a neat way to show you where to go. I actually quite enjoy the bad guys dialogue and his presence, very cool. Not sold on the guy I play as though, seems very dense and whiny.
See I loved this game and I think in part it has to do with my not playing any Ubisoft or similar open worlds for quite awhile. I think the last one was Horizon FW for me.
My experience was that this is how the Ubi-open world formula can be done well. It's similar to a lot of other games, but more tasteful imo and so the repetitive stuff didn't feel as onerous.
Basically, this was the game Ubisoft dreams of making (but lacks the soul to do so).
I do agree that it's dumb to find a location where you can clearly tell a story event is going to happen here, but it hasn't yet so there's nothing to see. Open worlds and story don't work well, tale as old as time. I also agree that the villain was by far the best character in the game.
Playing this for the first time. I guess I'm rusty in video games in general I'm absolutely cack at the combat can't seem to get the parry down and I feel overwhelmed by the amount of enemies

You will soon get the hang of it and it becomes muscle memory. Would recommend playing until completion though as if you drop it and go to another game you'll have the same problem!
Oh im definitely not dropping it! Exploring the first act map has been great and I'm loving the characters. I'm going to do all the side quests first before progressing the main story so I can git gud at the combat
There’s a window for parrying which initially seems awkward but eventually becomes second nature. That and all the tools at your disposal will soon begin to flow.Playing this for the first time. I guess I'm rusty in video games in general I'm absolutely cack at the combat
Thought i could finish this over the Christmas break but got sucked into the side missions, collectables and slashing away at Mongol bases. Just about finished the story and it has been superb, the good thing is after completing all the bases the locations of unfinished stuff shows up on the map so will look to plat the game. Combat was is pretty satisfying too. Probably in the minority but I'm also into graphics and atmosphere and this game is probably up there with the best.
Just finished this myself!
and I totally agree with everything you said!
