I don't really care, but it's funny if it makes chuds mad.

Whats it is authentic to is samurai movies! Like everything looks like something from a Kurasawa 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
