Wow, it's almost as if the game being made by Americans accidentally highlighted the imperialist and oppressive elements of samurai culture without a complete lack of criticism towards it. Even Kurosawa would be disappointed (typically featured the peasants and poor samurai as the primary heroes/survivors in his jidaigeki), Kobayashi is just laughing from the grave)

Really though, I guess we haven't learned from Spec Ops: The Line

        Kurosawa mode is just a grayscale filter. Kurosawa films aren't gray. They're black and white

          The sekiro mod is nice too because it swaps the in-game music for jidaigeki soundtrack pieces (from Seven Samurai, Hidden Fortress, Yojimbo, and Samurai Rebellion)

            they look vibrant and pretty to me

            dunno how you can swing from "they are bland" to "they are garish" tbh

                    they are made by capitalist companies in a capitalist society to make money for capitalist shareholders
                    circlejerking about how lib/status quo/fash they are is definitely masturbatory
