Today’s game is Ghost of Tsushima. Nothing particularly special about today. I got this sick ass screenshot though of this Mongol Leader fighting me after i lit him on fire. It reminds me of one i feel like i remember getting of another game. Maybe The Last of us Part 2? I’m not 100% sure on that though and all my pictures i think are unfortunately gone. We’ll have to see though, maybe i got lucky and backed them up. That was right about the time i converted all my photos to JPEG XL and stored them so maybe i did that too.
I’ve been having a lot of fun doing portraits in this game namely. Something about this game’s people captures my desire to do portraits like it does in real life. I’d share some of them, but they’re all of close friends and family and feel a little uncomfortable sharing them in that way, but here’s a goose. Anyways, i do wish i had some finer control over things. Working with RAW photos recently has completely spoiled me with the control i get.
This game has ignited a desire in me too in order to go back and replay Silent Hill f, there’s been a few things that remind me of it in this game and i really want to go back and get the last few endings. After this i might pop over and do that. I was also talking to my friend about continuing our Halo CE LASO run, so that might be something i’ll look into, we’ll see.
Overall a pretty uneventful day, i mostly had more fun taking photos than actually playing the game. So note to self to keep my hands off the photo mode a little more next time.
That first image was pretty good, took me quite a while to guess the game. And only did that because I know you are playing Ghost of Tsushima. My original thought was something like Dark Souls.
Nice goose pic, is there a “Day XX of posting a Daily picture from the photos I’ve been taking” in future?
Ironically i thought about trying dark souls yesterday, but went “Well, i already have so much. I don’t want another game on my plate”.
I have thought about sharing the pictures i take, maybe not a daily thing like this but i’d love to share it on whatever the local photography community is. At the very least it’d be a good way to refine my skills. I’m getting too the point with photography i’d like to start offering it as a service in my local area and maybe make some sort of income (Though, knowing me quite a bit of it will just go to buying games)
I think the main thing putting me off is how everyone talks about the difficulty. I once tried Elden Ring and got my ass handed to me by this boss right at the start, so I’m not too confident in my souls like abilities.
I might pick up the remake on sale though and try it since you suggest it though
I think the difficulty is overrated, which is not to say it’s an easy game, but you just have to be more deliberate with your actions. Instead of just mashing buttons, you have to be mindful of enemy’s actions and keep your stamina in mind.
Of course, no guarantees that everyone will like it, but I think people shouldn’t skip it just because of it’s reputation of difficulty. For instance, I know people who have finished Dead Cells but never tried Dark Souls because of the difficulty, while I have finished Dark Souls, but was never able to beat even the first boss of Dead Cells 😀
In short, the game is difficult, but not that difficult, and worth at least trying it once.
I might try it at some point then. I know I’ve had some decentish luck with other souls likes (such as Jedi Fallen Order), and i know you well enough that i trust your opinion when you say it’s not that difficult. So i’ll probably keep an eye out for a sale or something, or even see if i can snag a copy for an older device.
Thanks for the trust! Jedi Fallen Order is on easier side of soulslike (generally speaking), but it gives you some idea of how to tackle combat in these games.
Would be interesting to see your perspective on the game, whenever you get around to it.

TRY DARK SOULS, THIS IS YOUR SIGN.
If you haven’t played it, it’s a good game. Worth giving a try at least.
You should, not sure how much of a photography community there is on lemmy, but it can be worth a shot.
