This one is sort of double funny to me. I just started playing the first and its cool. All i see online is a certain type of
talking about how "authentic" it is. The game is massively historically inaccurate to the period, in massively obvious ways. Whats it is authentic to is samurai movies! Like everything looks like something from a Kurasawa film, all the forests look like places Zatoichi would fight like 50 guys lol. Its cool.
I love that their bullshit "authentic" experience is ruined lol
I actually hate the "kurosawa" mode though that's a b&w filter.
Kurosawa is when no colour. Blocking? Existentialism with strong proletariate sympathies? Meditations on greed and altruism? The suffering of war? What are you talking about...
Not to be confused with Kuwahara mode, which smooths out and denoises the image giving a painterly look
is that real lol? Also are they worth playing? They looked very beautiful but exhausting in the way every overdesigned game is.

It's literally a real technique that was originally used to clean up cardiac scans
but acerola,
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I don't like that mode either
not to make any G#mer arguments hold water but there is a difference between "historical accuracy" and "historical authenticity".
Its like how in Total War games you had a very authentic mishmash of troops that were definitely not historically accurate.
That's a great point. And i don't have any sort of a problem with whether a game is accurate or not. But that isn't really how these
comments come off to me. Its more like "wow this game (made byva Western studio) is what I, an uneducated american, think is authentically Japanese"
One criticism of AC Shadows I do have is that the towns and villages are in fact too authentic and it makes every single location in the game fucking depressing because the period was god damn fucking awful, everyone lived like shit. The only nice places are the villages with rice farms.
And period authenticity in architecture and setting is like the thing they do best in those games.
Yeah, I'm really glad Ghost of Tsushima didn't go for historical accuracy. It's way more fun the way they did it.
They do a great job with that. I wasn't a big fan of Unity, but Paris in that game is one of the most impressive settings ever.
Ubisoft Marx is in my top ten favorite memes
So many of the cutscenes look like they’re from a Kobayashi film.
You say this, but it has a "Kurosawa Mode" that is literally just a black and white filter. There are no words to express how that makes me feel.
Well, kuro (黒) means black, and sawa means... sawa means... uhh... so it means black and white mode.
Sawa is a reference to canadian actor Devon Sawa, who is white.
Obviously it's Saint Sawa, patron of Serbia. So it's a Black Serbian mode, turning entire game into A Serbian Film.
Sounds like they took the criticism about the first game's "Kurosawa Mode" and redid it for the second. When it's active the mode has new music, redubbed lines with more "authentic" sounding audio quality, the B&W effect isn't just a simple filter anymore. Looks kinda dope honestly
Yeah Kurosawa mode was a weird choice
