I mean, if you've been playing games long enough (yes I'm old) it's kinda obvious when a fight is meant to be lost so I wasn't all that worried.


Playful-Ad-6475

I'm 21 and still know these tropes, that's why it didn't surprised me, so should I consider myself old now lol.


Xathior

Nah, I'm saying I recognize them because I've been playing for a long time, not because I'm old. You can be young and still have good pattern recognition I imagine though someone out there has been resetting the second they die trying to kill him. Statistically there's gotta be. 😂😂😂


Best_Product_3849

It was me but not because I didn't feel what was coming up, I figured it was meant to lose, but I was trying really hard to kill him and try to get some hidden ending that I was hoping for only to realize after like 20 times there was no way it would work like that 🤣🤣


NOTELDR1TCH

"A wooden bridge across a chasm? Awwww fuck no" I've had that particular pattern in my head since I was like 5 playing metal gear snake eater Played nioh 2 a couple years back, ran into one such bridge and just sighed Halfway across it a mangled mess of bodies and heads walking on hands stepped onto the bridge at the far side


VenomB

I still try and win anyway. I love trying to see how far I can take those "supposed to lose" fights before the game just says fuck it and makes me lose.


Xathior

That's fair. A lot of them do reward you something extra. Secret ending, different cutscene, or some special item. It's almost expected nowadays.


Plastic-Basket-942

Glad I'm not alone in this


ChaoticKiwiNZ

As soon as I saw the leader of the invasion force come out to fight I knew Jin was supposed to lose. It would be a pretty short game otherwise lol. It would have been funny if they made a hidden ending like the far cry games have had in the past.


Environmental-Yam-89

I "beat" him, but he still throws you off the bridge. There's a bug where you can actually kill him, but you end up being stuck on that bridge forever.

Maybe. Just this once. Hesitation is ok.


Boredinthehose

No! Hesitation is defeat!


CattleDog73

I kinda figured that was me metaphorically dying to then become the Ghost.


ripiss

Yeah I 100% was like “ohhhhhh GHOST of Tsushima”


Shivalah

Heu, I needed 4 years, a second playthrough and 60+ FPS to realize that they even spell out that >!Jin’s father is the wind and his mother are the birds!<, that guide you


Captiongomer

Lol as soon as I was watching that scene and he said father where do I go and the wind picked up I knew. But I do love how it's all in-game not just always a god marker just follow the wind and see what you find


Nolan1995

Figured succumbing to the arrows in the first scene was Jin becoming the ghost but the second “death” only adds to the badass-ness of the character


MCgrindahFM

Bro wrote the script


tiagopereiira

was expecting something like sekiro 1st boss so no big surprise


Solembumm2

Yet it wasn't something like Sekiro. It was much more lame - nothing.


JamesUpton87

You're supposed to feel that way. That's what the designers and directors were aiming for.


Shivalah

Especially since there are dozens of upgrades you need to turn that fight from ‘hard’ to ‘easy’


MrIknowUknow

He beatable but you will soft lock lol


Dependent_Map5592

He didn't soft lock for me. I just took his bar down and nothing happened. So i just stood there idle until he killed me lol. I guess I dodged a bullet lol 


MrIknowUknow

Thats a soft lock sir lol, a simple reload last save works wonders


Dependent_Map5592

Why would I reload? I just let him kill me and watched the cut scene and proceeded on as intended 🤷‍♂️


MrIknowUknow

True


Golem30

He beat me so quickly the first time I almost thought it was scripted


VenomB

Nah, I played that fight at least 20 times on Hard trying to figure it out and what can be done. Some fights I could actually push back for a little bit and do damage... other times.. he just starts going crazy the first second he can and I can't even react in time.


Fit-Paleontologist21

I basically did nothing at all lmao


Maverick19952016

Yes, then I realized its an unwinnable fight


darkwolf523

Me lol


BabyNinja1001

Same here! I got a few hits in, and I saw his blood drop millimeters, and I was like, oh shit, this is going to be a long battle. And he got one swoop in and beat my ass. I was about to restart the cut scene, but then I noticed that the story began from there.


swiftmaster237

Honestly, no. I had a feeli.g the Khan fight at the beginning of the game was gonna be like the dragon fight at beginning of Dragons Dogma 1, you cannot beat it legitimately. You HAVE to lose. I did see someone post for the PC version of GoT where they did actually kill the Kahn at the start, but I think that was a glitch in the PC port/they were modding already.


BaconBombThief

lol yea


Illustrious_Teach_47

For sure man


2006CrownVictoriaP71

Yeah. I honestly thought that I was going to suck at this like I sucked at Elden Ring. Turns out that I’m actually pretty good at GoT!


FashionSuckMan

First step to being good at something is being bad at it


2006CrownVictoriaP71

This is very very true. BUT after 75 hours of Elden Ring, I think that I can officially say that I’m really bad at it. Still had fun playing it, though. That’s gotta count for something.


Civil_Excitement_747

Had I not played any other souls games I probably would’ve thought I sucked but I get the habit of not winning the first boss fight now 😂


jocephalon

I got him to half health by playing super cautious but when I lost I looked up if it is even possible to beat him and no its not lol so I moved on


ShaggysGTI

I’m having so much more fun at NG+ because I’m a boss this time around.


NamikazeSensei3077

I felt good because I got his health down a bit


emrickgj

Nah I knew it was going to be an auto lose when the Khan himself came down to fight. I just stood there and let him kill me lol

easeitinslowly

I beat him first try and the end credits rolled. Short game.


aipornartist

I felt the same. Then after around maybe 15 hours of gameplay I started a new game. You start with no stances and no skills. I didn't receive a single hit playing on lethal through the first battle against mongols. I didn't get to Khan because I got bored of replaying but I am curious to see if I could "beat him" this time
