Developer Sucker Punch Productions has detailed Ghost of Yotei‘s day one patch, and, amongst a bunch of enhancements and enhancements, it additionally addresses among the funniest and most annoying issues I glimpsed when reviewing the sport.
I ought to say right here, although, that broadly talking, my nearly-60 hours spent with the sport for evaluation have been principally flawless when it got here to bugs, glitches, or efficiency points. The sport ran like a dream on PS5 Pro and by no means actually hiccupped.
However, I did get glimpses of funniness, which the day one patch is addressing.
The first of which was when my horse became a bit too much of a free spirit and got in the way of me during missions. My horse didn’t go full Roach a la The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, however it was nonetheless eyebrow-raising and laugh-inducing to see a horse casually trot in entrance of me throughout mission targets, or come into sight at the back of the cutscene.
The ‘Stop the horse from interrupting sure missions targets or cutscenes.‘ patch observe appears to have put an finish to such equine tomfoolery, although.
One other certainly one of my favorites was being ambushed by baddies after I was merely chasing a fox to finish its exercise and attain the shrine it leads you to. Nothing like following a cute critter to then be completely nailed by a bunch of badmen out of the blue…
The ‘Stop systemic enemies from showing when the participant is following foxes.’ repair ought to maintain this drawback, although, and allow you to observe a few of Ezo’s wildlife at peace.
The ‘Fixes a bug inflicting Standoff to pick far-off enemies.’ patch observe is my third favourite to pick, and positively does make sense. I positively, steadily, thought that I might have interaction in a Standoff from a reasonably lengthy distance throughout evaluation – the equal of Atsu shouting to enemies from a soccer discipline and within the blink of a watch assembly them face-to-face within the heart circle. But it surely was by no means too bizarre for me.
And I by no means had a situation throughout a Standoff scene, the place – and I am imagining right here – the place an enemy would run like Forrest Gump from both off digicam or proper from the again of a gaggle of lads, however that may have been additional humorous.
Away from fixing the humorous annoyances, I’ve put the total patch notes beneath for full reference, and you’ll see that it is a full set of fixes and enhancements. Ghost of Yotei is out now on PS5, and I implore you to get it and leap in!
