Reminds me of a comment I saw on a vid about medieval knight armor
"It's almost like they were designed to be used by humans or something"

[TotallyNotMaiko]

Dark souls devs: "ima pretend i didnt hear that"

[lil__shmeat]

"There only about 6lbs on average"
Bethesda: "Triple it and give it to the next developer"

That first swing was an out-of-stamina Highlander Heavy!

[luky]

Go break pots man, you've earned it.

[JaxontheOkay]

trust me, a six pound sword feels a LOT heavier when it's being swung AT you and not BY you

[GAIS]

What's wrong with it? A sword should be three times the size of the character and weigh at least 1.5 metric tonnes.

[DUES_EX]

Dark Souls: Yea we are gonna make this Guts Greatsword almost 30lbs…

[k.w.pillsbury]

And that’s why fighters can swing them around so much in just a short amount of time.

[simonholmes]

I remember the first time I handled a real antique greatsword and I was blown away by how light and maneuverable it was, especially after mostly handling heavy and unwieldy replica swords.

[GruppeSechs]

Cloud's sword was actually filled with cotton candy

[.arjunS]

I get dark souls PTSD watching you swing that sword .

[alexiacorbin]

every videogame which has a god awful inventory system
"mhmmmm, riiight"

[FaultyParadox]

I can just imagine the guy who's been training to use the "guts" sword as an actual sword picking up this great sword and using it like a short sword without much effort.

[thetraveler]

I'm just imagining if you were able to use the Zweihänder like a normal sword in the Souls games instead of it being heavy. I think Giant Dad would've loved it even more if that happened.

[indigoTwilight]

Wait...those giant swords that are longer than your height are real? I thought that was a crazy dream made up to make fantasy look cool!

[fazehounds]

Camera man in the ambulance: ight imma head out

[DemigodDan]

Long swords in monster hunter are insanely nimble, and they are like an 8 foot long katana yet one of the most accurate depictions of a big long sword being used effectively instead of having huge windups and slow recovery

[tobydammit]

All I could think when he swung that fast was him accidentally taking off one of his legs
