I'm kind of sucking at parrying later in the game. I can't seem to get the timing right. Especially against these damn straw hat guys. Wish there was a sparring area where you could practice your moves.
So now I have fully upgraded armor and weapons. And I mean everything is upgraded fully. Even that traveling attire I never use. lol. I get a little OCD in games like this. Everything has to be maxed out.

Traveling attire was the first I maxed, use it most of the time, since I need to get every mongol item, banner, etc there is, I find it really handy that it makes your controller rumble when you're close.
Only thing I'm missing is a way to quickly change your gear fully. My traveling attire is white with the headband of death (also white) and a white mask (snow something, forgot the name) with the white bow and everything nicely matching, but then I change to my black Sakai armor for example, then I also put on the mask, helmet, change the color of the bow, etc. Takes me a lot of time to change everything each time...
Look in the accessibility settings and there is an option that gives you a little bigger window to parry. Made a big difference for me.
There is a long thread on here about how many of us play on "easy" mode in games. I was surprised how many people are like me and almost always play on easy just to enjoy the game. I just don't find any joy in getting killed over and over and over again. 
Gah! My OCD was satisfied seeing "fully upgraded" across every single piece of equipment in the game. And what does the game do?
Give me another set of armor!

1.06 update pimps the travelers attire, you can use it to track specific items now. This will help for the platinum trophy.
I'm currently finishing up Act 2, need to liberate 2 more camps and the region is free. I'm in a dilemma though, I would love to advance in the storyline but don't want this game to end. I'm enjoying it so much...

Have you cleared out all those pesky question marks someone littered all over the game map yet?
I swear the shrines you have to parkour your way up are becoming one of my most favorite parts of the game. Each one I get to has more spectacular views than the previous one.
yeah, especially after getting the grappling hook. Adds a platformer element to the game that is just a lot of fun.
I'm going to wait until I'm done with the game, but I'm curious to read the negative reviews for this game. I'm like @BlankStar and don't want it to end because I'm enjoying it so much.
I just finished the game and got the Platinum Trophy. Truly an amazing experience.
This is one of those games that stick with you a few days after your done. I don't think I can start anything else for a week or so. Gotta take it all in. Just so good.
Pff, really didn't like the end of Act II, start of Act III :-(
I'm real close to the end now but I don't want to continue. I've got all the gear maxed out, got all the skills pimped, ... I've been roaming around checking for Mongol artifacts and stuff
Gonna platinum this game without a single doubt.
I've upgrade my smaller blade to the max. It can assassinate people more quickly but it doesn't look as cool when I do it.

Yeah, would be cool if the game adapts the speed back to a more cinematic kill if there aren't any other enemies close. The quick stab in the neck or throat isn't as cool as the slower versions...
Give me a hint on how to get the Ghost Armor (please). I still have a ton of side quests but I wanttttttt it.
It is given to you at the end of act two just playing main missions.
I must say I feel like it was too easy maxing the ghost level. I feel like I've could've gotten at least 6-7 technique points extra by now and still have some mongol camps to clean up and some main missions.
And now each time I get some "ghost exp", the animation shows up, obviously it's full so doesn't do anything, stays for a couple of seconds and then gets blown away by the wind and it's kind of annoying, since it doesn't give you anything. Would be nice if it would give you something else instead. Couple of kunai, sticky bombs, stuff like that maybe? Did you feel the same way @TopherMan12 ?

Yeah, absolutely. Feel like they could have added some more boosts like what the charms do. Showing the graphic over and over again to remind you that you've maxed out is kinda pointless. I guess they have to draw the line somewhere, but I did think it was a bit premature.
I love it when one of those crazy birds tries to lead me directly through a wandering group of bad guys in the middle of an open area on the way to the destination. Hey bird, I'm the ghost!
Finished the game last night. What a ride. Absolutely loved it. Here and there room for small improvements, but nothing major. A solid story, awesome graphics for this generation and really good controls. Absolutely loved the combat.
Only have a couple of trophies left since I did a thorough playthrough so going for the platinum now
Next up is one from the backlog: The Witcher 3
