Ghost of Tsushima: new “Rivals” game mode (Sept. 3)

[LegendExeter]

Another game out here...thinking it's a Legend...pfft...

 

I won't probably play it, yet I'm sure many will that liked the main storyline.

[TrophyChief]

Alrighty then. Time to hone those skills again. Rusty but hopefully it will come back to me quickly. Great game, fun mode. New content is always welcomed but added trophies can be worrisome for others. Regardless, will dive back in to have fun and make new friends.

I strongly dislike mp modes being shoe horned into single player games

I'd be the first one to agree with you if it actually felt shoe horned into the game.  I've never liked mp added to sp games after the fact.  Legends though doesn't feel that way to me.  Not to mention it had been planned since the game was first in development, they just held back any announcements for it in case they couldn't get it to work the way they wanted.

 

I just wish they wouldn't have tacked on more trophies for this new mode.  I always felt like PVP modes should never have trophies unless that's the whole game or the game is purely an online mp experience.  Hopefully they aren't too terrible though because I enjoy the mode, but in the past terrible trophies have managed to ruin mp in other games for me.

RIP my 100%, I don't think I'll ever go back to the online part of this game, especially on PS4

Agree with your first paragraph 100%.  I almost never play multiplayer games and I usually don't like it when they are forced on single player, but man Legends was fun.  Probably doubled my playing time with this game if not more.  More trophies don't bother me but I get why it irks some people.

For me it really depends on the trophies.  If it wasn't this semi pvp mode and just more new purely co op modes I'd probably be fine with it.  Thankfully I now have reliable internet, which I didn't have when Legends released so I'm more open to it.  The devs also backpeddled on the Raid being the last bit of new Legends modes released, so that disappoints me a little. 

 

There is also so many games I still have to play that I don't have the time to revisit games I've already moved on from, but a game like this I really want to retain the 100%.  It's why I'm a advocate of completely seperate mp mode trophy lists for games that launch as sp first (RE3 is an example).

 

I'm just not a fan of competitive mode trophies that require either insane skill or tremendous luck to be paired with players who aren't as good as myself to pull off.

 

I just hope this isn't the latter situation because it will really disappoint me give how much I love the game.

Is the "game of the year" Ghost of Tsushima now considered not a good game anymore.

Resident Evil 6 is the best example I can think of for this. All of the DLC was grindy and awful. Even Resident Evil 5 had a kinda crappy VS online multiplayer.

Both of these games are supposed to be survival horror too.

 

Honestly makes you want to wait a year until a AAA game is completely finished.

 

As much as I didn't like God Of War due to it making me feel motion sick. At least it was the complete game and they didn't start adding DLC quests and bosses. (Which I am sure they could have done since when you complete the game you do think, oh wait, is that it?)

Some of us would like to retain our 100% on games we are fans of the single player content from and not have to be concerned about any mp modes making that difficult. 

 

Most of us aren't even complaining about the added content, only the added trophies.

[offdutysuperhero]

trophies dont get added people complain, trophies get added people complain.

 

i cant with people.

Well that's what you signed up for trying to maintain 100% completion, why should the devs cater to your style of trophy hunting?

This game is exactly the reason why we should wait for a Definitive Edition before buying a game .... Really 1 year later, more MP, more islands ..... And it's probably not over. Feels like FF XV all over to me.

Not sure if its really worth replying, but I personally never signed up for anything with any game trophy wise.  I am free to voice my opinion just as anyone else is though.  Just like Sucker Punch is free to do what they want with their games, doesn't mean someone won't or shouldn't react to that with how they feel.  Obviously I'm not the only one on here too.  

 

Frankly when it comes to adding multuplayer to a game that is released as a single player game it usually benefits all players to be a seperate application like RE3 had, with a fully seperate trophy list. 

 

They're the ones who decided to do it the way they did.  So they deserve whatever feedback it brings, good or I'll.  This being a trophy website there is nothing wrong with discussing trophies on it, good or bad.  

 

I have absolutely nothing against Sucker Punch though, Ghost is among my favorite games to be released on PS4.  

 

My dissapointment with this really stems from them stating in an interview shortly after the raid released that it was the final piece of Legends content outside of nightmare missions and some cosmetics.  Then they pull this 9 months later just because they're re-releasing on PS5.

 

Either way I hope the trophies aren't stupidly difficult, super grindy, or luck based because combining stuff like that with competitive modes is the worst way to add mp trophies.  We'll see September 3rd if it's good or bad I guess.  But I have nothing more to add to this topic after this anyways.

The new mode seems fun it’s more pve than pvp you just get debuffs from the enemy team but don’t deal with them directly. I just hope trophies autopop ps5 <-> ps4 like nioh does. Also curious to see if legends mode’s standalone release will have its own platinum trophy.

[PeachyJacobs]

YESSS! Couldn't be happier with this news! Well, maybe if they had a second raid but I can still hope for that.

 

The announcement of Iki island didn't really appeal to me. Legends was hands down the best part of this game for mine and I'm not a big fan of mp stuff normally. Legends was just so well done.

[Laozuli]

Extra article on the standalone : https://www.polygon.com/22609584/ghost-of-tsushima-legends-standalone-release-dates-ps4-ps5-directors-cut

 

No info on the throphies, it could be that the new mp throphies would only be for the standalone like the last version of comrades did. But I would guess everything would be linked. The article does mention that there will be new levels and something called masteries so I guess the new throphies will be about that. Also it says a new version of the raid is planned with added difficulty. Lets hope there won't be a throphy for that!

In addition to all of the above, we’ll be adding a new piece of content each week from September 10 through October 1, including an additional Rivals map, new Survival maps inspired by Iki Island and Iyo’s realm, and Trials of Iyo, a new harder-difficulty version of last year’s Raid that offers challenges in bite-sized chunks, and offers a new set of online leaderboards. 

Let's just hope they don't add trophy's  for all this......?

[B1rvine]

People really need to stop complaining about free content and new trophies being added to the games they've played. Ya'll spend more energy complaining about it than just playing the games and earning the trophies themselves. Think of it this way, you can either BUY a new game and earn more trophies, or you can get something new for FREE and earn new trophies. Either way, you're always going to have a list that's not 100% anymore.

 

If you're gaming to enjoy games, and you enjoy the games themselves (which should be the most important thing) then re-playing games you like and getting new free content shouldn't be a tedious affair. But most of you are putting importance on the trophies themselves, or your completion ratio, over fun or the games themselves. Wrong attitude.

I'll use you as an example. You absolutely did sign up to "be concerned" about potential new trophies or content being added by making a choice to want 100%, which means, at any cost, including this reason. If you make a choice to do anything in life, then either don't complain about the potential pitfalls or consequences that you knew could happen in advance, however unlikely, or refuse the option you made ahead of time. Its 2021, 100%ers should know games get extra content at any time by now.

 

RE3 and Resistance are arguably different games, but regardless, new modes and trophies could be added to either one (however unlikely), which is the real culprit of what everyone's complaining about.

 

Ghost of Tsushima was always a multiplayer game. We knew it was before launch. The MP is more fun than the campaign in my opinion. If Ghost is your favorite game, you shouldn't mind enjoying new stuff being made for it, or at the very least, trying something new before you judge it.

 

What really gets me though, is you're saying you are disappointed that they went above and beyond, by delivering new content, just because it wasn't planned. This realistically isn't what you're disappointed about, but rather, your choice to maintain 100%, or rather the effort that goes with it.

 

Everyone's attitude here should be, "Cool, more potential gamer score."

So, are we trophy hunters, or are we complainers?

 

Anyway, I can't wait for the new Ghost content.

That’s exactly what I thought after reading the first post

[PostGameBlues]

If the harder version of the Iyo raids have trophies, I'm not even gonna bother lol. I'm just gonna take the L, doing the original raids was already tedious for me. Here's hoping the new rivals trophies are not outright luck based or absurdly grindy.

I remember playing with you Mirrors. Had fun and you were very helpful. Let's stay connected and we shall see what the trophies entail.
