Genji: Days of The Blade....?

Anyone remember that launch title for the PS3?

Yeah, it totally clicked today and I realized that was the game Tsushi was reminding me of. The thing is, Genji: DoTB is straight up a better game from 2006. Was revolutionary at the time. Popularized cycling three different protagonist classes: the agile Shinbu, the powerful Tetsugen, and the swift Kamui. Blew my socks off. Even GTA5 ended up copying that mechanism pretty much 1:1.

People are saying "Oh my gawsh, Tsushi isnt a soulslike!!! You cant compare it to Sekrio!!!"... Well compared to something like Genshi, it isnt even top.

Sadly most people will just google Genshi, see it got review bombed for petty reasons like camera, then act like marketing doesnt exist and Tsushi is untouchable. Just keeping it real.

Went and looked and wow, none of the main characters look good at all.

That said, the flute playing lady in that opening cutscene looks cool as hell. I'd have picked that up if she was the MC back then, haha. Though I can tell the game'll just make you kill her later or whatever because she's leading the ghost forces. That's a nice intro though. I liked the fade in bit there that they did.

Edit: Oh, her lower outfit looks bad. Oh well, wcyd. PS3 era and all.

Ah, yep, they kill Atsumori, siiiiigh. Glad I skipped that one now.

Gameplay wise it looks like they tried to merge two previous titles: Ninja Gaiden and Onimusha. Both were suffering in the camera department naturally.

Its easy to rip it apart two decades later, but man, going form PS2 into the first few launch months of PS3 that game was bussing like crazy. First game to get fire pretty well. Yes, it was like pre souls like Ninja Gaiden fusion.
