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.
