This thing is not accurate in ghost of Tsushima #shorts

[luzinaldoalbuquerque]

Sacrificing realism in favor of fun is probably the best decision

[thevoidlookspretty]

I heard it said that it gets a pass, because it’s made less to be historically accurate and more to be a Kurosawa movie as a video game.

"No, because this is the samurai from the 13th century!"

Devs were honest about it tho, historical accuracy wasn’t anywhere near the goal.

[ntfoperative]

To be fair, the devs even said that historical accuracy was not the goal, it was to pay homage to Kurosawa

[Generalmacka]

He forgot to mention the part where the wind magically directs you

[bigjavo]

One thing I will say is that ghost of Tsushima is stylized like a "samurai movie"

[WillyCuz]

“Terror is not the weapon of a samurai!”

You're telling me a fictional video game has some fiction in it? Wild

[HupCapNinja]

The whole game was never meant to be completely historically accurate. The game is meant to make you feel like a typical samurai/ninja but it’s still different.

[MedikalKilla]

This is also a game with Mythic attacks that are physically impossible to do IRL 💀

[josericardomartinezramirez]

Mongols being one of the most successful and powerful bow user armies in history presented using only swords: im a joke to you?

[elikyiael]

i'd personally see well ghost of tsushima with a spear and sword gameplay, with a spear and a sword that has different types of gameplay and all that it would be sick

[NiCoNiCoNiCola]

That's the ironical thing: in cutscenes they're using swords, but in gameplay you're usually surrounded by spear/mace wielding mongols and you yourself fair better when using a bow

[codylakin]

As someone with an interest in the history of Japan, I know these things. As someone with an overwhelming love for Kurosawa era films from Japan, I know this and do not care, as my brain turns off when I play this game and oh my god it’s like a dream come true 😂

[nomorok]

Just another case of the humble spear being denied its role in history. Sharp stick was literally our main weapon until not so long ago

[ryanartward]

Its a Alternative History setting when they Samurai showed up a Komoda and everyone forgot their bows. Lord Ishikawa would be sooo disappointed.

[boredurielpvp]

Ban History teachers from playing Ghost Of Tsushima

[sohansaswatjaysingh]

I think it's legit. Because samurais use katana as their last weapon. If you hear the lore in starting he clearly said that only 80 samurai left to fight the whole army of Mongols.
