"Jin doesnt clean his blade" *Me swiping right after every fight to feel like cool samurai throwing blood off blade*

[@cutie_2577]

Apparently, it’s not enough to keep one’s sword clean cuz some blood stay on a blade anyway

[@lueboytheman9508]

Glad I'm not the only one. Don't want the blade to stick in the sheath.

[@darthplagueis13]

Yeah, but that really wouldn't be enough to get the blade clean. A proper cleaning would probably involve some water, an oiled rag and then some cloth to dry it off completely before sheathing it.

[@tacti-cool4022]

If thats how you clean your dishware then its not very clean..it was probably still done if you had no clean cloth or grass etc otherwise it might just spread it over more of the blade.

[@misterkami2]

Booco The quick motion to throw off the blood is called chiburi. It’s something that was done in later times, when the form of the technique became more important. It’s very cool and there are different kinds of techniques to do it, but it’s definitely not enough to clean the blade properly.

[@possumlodge5368]

For anyone having trouble with the standoffs later on in the game, just watch their feet. As soon as they start stepping forward it's always a tell they are going to actually attack. Once I picked up on that it was pretty rare they would fake me out.

I absolutely ADORE the waypoint/traversal system - having the wind guide you is ingenious. There's no mini-map distracting you from the gorgeous environments so you're not riding around looking at a line on a map. Instead, I'm paying complete attention to my surroundings and the environment. Such a great mechanic that I really hope we see in more games. I would always try to shut the map off in Witcher 3 but I would eventually need to turn it back on because I'd get lost.

@@ATTENTIONseekinggaming honestly listening to shroud critique a game other than battle royal games is mainly biased. Besides comparing. DMC to GOT that sounds stupid they are no where in the same category. DMC is just a linear hack and slash game that plays metal music with nothing more besides that, sure its a good game series but thats just it. GoT. Has actual story and character development and the fact that in has to deal with morality and honor choices as the game progresses. The music is stunning, the graphics are breath taking, the combat in the game is very fluid without glitches(as far as I have seen). So him calling the game "edgy" made him lose credibility and honestly it made me question did he really play the game and pay attention to it actually.

The graphics are unbelievably good on this game, I just hit the second part of the island and I still find myself being blown away. Honestly, the gameplay + graphics combo might be the best I've ever seen on a console, especially on a 4K TV.

[@MrLolx2u]

What I like about this game was the cultural reference they have brought to the table. I'm a Chinese fella who had practiced Kendo for about 8 years when I was young and I'm currently practicing Japanese Buddhism under the branch of Nichiren Soshu and whatever the game does as a Buddhist reference, it's uncannily similar or close enough. For example, early on during the funeral of Jin's father, you could hear the monk at the back chanting: "Myo ho ren ge kyo ho ben bon dai ni" which translates to "The Lotus Sutra Verse Number 2" and the whole thing is at an extremely slow paced and that's how we chant it during a funeral service. The swordplay they did in the game isn't unknown but its fantastically done, especially the one where you cut thru the bamboo to practice your swordskill. It makes sense to cut thru bamboo but like the expert had mentioned, its easily chipped. However, it din't matter that much to feudal Japan as many of these swordsmith are legend as they are and their blades don't really chip that much if its made by a real master at its craft. If you think bamboo was bad, someone was even worse. Instead of using bamboo, some of these Samurai would stack criminals that are ready to be executed like a tower where their belly is on each other's back and then try to "test their blade" on these would-be executed criminals by cutting them up into halves with one hack. If it goes thru 2 guys cleanly, it is a good blade. Anything beyond 3 is amazing. This practice continued deep into WWII where military officers would bunch up captured POWs or even civilians (That's because WWII IJA were really that fucking sick) and lob off as many heads as possible with one stroke to practice their kenjutsu and also test their blade strength and lethality. Overrall, a great game with accurate cultural reference and also, great graphics and awesome swordsplay to boot. However, the only drawback I felt that the game could do better on was the voiceover. It was horrendously bad that everyone has close to zero emotions when they speak or total lack of feelings and the lip sync was so bad sometimes that the voice comes out in Japanese but the mouth movement was so out of whack that when they did the Kurosawa effect, it was even more amplified. Other than that, good game.

6:27 One correction I have to make: The katana that samurai used did not have this feature. They are referring to the 20th century katana issued to the IJA for their modern conflicts. What they had instead was a snugly fitted habaki, or blade collar, that would create some friction and lock it in place somewhat. However, the samurai did push their blade out past the habaki for much the same reason.

Something they got wrong: Jin actually does clean his blade off. He tosses the blood completely aside, leaving it clean and wipes it off his sleeve before sheathing it. Now with the incindiary oil, yeah he doesn’t clean that shit off 😂

[@CornoAttavo]

I think they meant actually taking the time to really wipe the blade down instead of just throwing the blood off the sword because they do mention how Jin wipes the blade on his sleeve before sheathing it.

[@darthplagueis13]

I think they mentioned it in the first one, whilst also pointing out that it's more of a traditional gesture than actual cleaning (I might have gotten it mixed up, I watched several historical reviews on the game). To really get the blade clean you'd probably need some water and a piece of cloth.

[@Mk_Otaid]

You can't even clean water off a blade properly by just violently swiping the air with it, let alone blood which starts sticking and drying seconds after it touches any surface. Wiping it on your clothing is certainly more effective but still not enough. The swipe he does in the game is mostly Hollywood flair as far as I know (which is still cool haha). You need a clean (and preferably soft) cloth or rag partially wet to first wipe off the staining and then use the dry part to clean up the excess. Some people also use preservant oils afterwards to be especially sure that it stays in top condition. Only after the blade is completely dry should you put it in a seath. Otherwise you just destroy the insides of the seath with all sorts of filth that also damages the blade. Not posting all this as an attack or anything just wanna lend knowledge.

[@tylerbroveak2559]

Mk Otaid no, that’s not just Hollywood flair. That’s an actual maneuver in Japanese swordsmanship. Many schools require the maneuver after completing a cutting exercise. Look up mat cutting or bamboo rack cutting videos. They do this maneuver after every cut

[@Mk_Otaid]

@@tylerbroveak2559 Fair enough yes I've seen it done before and not in movies only but never looked this up in particular. As far as practicality goes though I still don't think it's proper for cleaning a blade and more along the terms of cool factor, that's the only reason I used the term (and again I said AFAIK so I was wrong). It's still a real thing though and the devs made sure to include it. We pretty much have to take into account that the PC cleans his weapons during downtime and not actual gameplay and the way I see it adding a gear condition feature was probably discussed but left out because it may have slowed down the flow of the action. Anyways, blabbing on... Thanks for the correction.

[@Legacy0901]

I pretty much only run the traveler and Ronin aesthetic too. Even on hard, the armored sets make the fights too easy to survive with the massive health, damage and resolve gains whereas getting outnumbered with Ronin and traveler outfits is very easily a death sentence if you don't respect your opponents. Plus there's just a certain je ne sais quoi about dueling a straw hat Ronin dressed as a straw hat Ronin

[@lonewander6772]

Tadayori all the way for me. Though on my 2nd playthrough I am currently running the Adachi armor since I want to do less ghost and more samurai this time around.

[@danielpolakovic6055]

its less retarded when you wear basic armor, gameplay upgrades are the same but you can switch between visual upgrades, I did that with clan sakai armor

[@Bones12x2]

I like to snipe the archers in the traveler outfit then wear the full Samurai armor to just walk right into the camp like a boss and swang swords with all them Mongols!

[@lonewander6772]

Thank you so much for a part 2. If you decided to make a third one, can you please consider asking the experts to talk about how Samurai or swordsmen deal with the sharp pain and numbness in their sword-holding hands caused by weapons colliding and clashing during fights?

You could try TAP plastics if you have one. They will cut to your specs. Then you need a track to put it in. Or I guess you could attach it to a heavy base with screws. Actually, Home depot or Lowes might be able to do it too. Just check any local hardware/building supply place.

[@DamnedPoetry]

My only issue is that when his sword is the sheath the blade is facing upwards so when we draws on the standoff he'd essentially be slicing them with the blunt side of the sword. At no point does he turn it around

Why no female protagonist

[@GamingStar95]

@@Agencyagent34 because this is the story of Jin Sakai. His story is far from over, and part 2 will resolve it. Won't make sense to throw in a female protagonist to carry on his story. And in his time era there are no such thing as female samurai. Only female warrior's.

In terms of the Grappling Hook part, I believe it's supposed to be a reference to once he gets the Ghost Armor from Taka. The Armor is more reminiscent of Nindo and Ninja which were loose and lightweight because he admired Jin taking on the Role as the Ghost.

[@Darkman9000]

Really is amazing how well they captured the various styles of katana swordsmanship in this. As someone who fences on and off, it makes me wish for a game that had a similar dedication for fencing. While there are quite a few games that try to capture the sense of weight that one would experience swinging a sword, most still just let you whale away at people with little regard for technique or stance. Hopefully this game might set a new standard for sword-based combat going forward in games, maybe even for other weapons like clubs, axes, and so on.
