I thought the same thing some time ago.
Then I got me my first console, spent 10 minutes getting used to the aiming, and I've had no problems since.

[QUOTE=Stizzles;32953592]Are there going to be capes and stuff like that? We didn't have any in Oblivion and I haven't seen any, but it would be a good idea, considering how fucking cold it is in some places.
I recently started watching Game of Thrones and they have these badass capes with fur on them, SHIT WOULD BE SO CASH[/QUOTE]

With proper cloth physics, not like the clothes in Oblivion that stayed straight like they were frozen or something.

I can never figure out whether I like this guy or not (in the vid). When it comes to swordsmanship he's always very spot on and seems to be able to back up his fact. On the other hand, he knows jack-shit about people who used the swords. The definition of Ninja is very broad, so saying that the "ninja-suit" (wth does he mean by that anyways, ninjas most oftenly used samurai armor) is useless in the field. Yes, obviously fucking black rags are useless in combat, but they were used as camouflage if a ninja for some reason were to infiltrate and/or assassinate someone.

In Japan, if you really wanted someone assassined, you'd send a Geisha or just a woman. Why? Because women could carry a bunch of weapons that soldiers wouldn't even discover, such as hairpins, hair brushes and chop sticks. They could just enter a palace, checked for weapons, and still be a deadly weapon. Ninjas, however, were either a) trained to perfection and masters in about 18 martial arts, like elite infantry or whatever. However, it was more common that they were b) somewhat trained in sneaking, and thus commanders on the battlefield sent them out as cannon fodder to spy on enemy armies and maybe assassinate someone. If they proved successful a lot of times, they could get a chance to become a), but that didn't happen often.

I'm pretty sure the black ninja suit stereotype actually came from their existence in eastern theatre. Generally people who moved around the back of the stage weren't meant to be paid attention to, so they wore all black to signify that. So when an assassin was going to kill someone for the play, they sometimes made it a suprise by dressing him like the background people. At least that's what I heard

[G-Strogg]

Yeah, you could have a point in that, but the black rag stereotype is also descended from western fiction and the weaboos who go like omg ninja ~ultimate warrior (Ok, some ninjas really were ultimate warriors, but those were few, like really few) and shit.

I think there's a picture on wikipedia of actual armor that supposedly a ninja used.

and if you want to become a ~real ninja~ then you should take the time to master these martial arts:
Ninjutsu
Karate
Taijutsu (taijutsu actually covers 9 schools of training, very extensive and fun martial art, I train it myself)

and there's a bunch more that I can't even name. ryu genken koppojutsu or some shit.

Well he is trying to point out that the stereeotype is wrong. You cant draw a longsword from your back and katanas are shitty swords, Great knives though.

[QUOTE=PunchedInFac;32956624]Well he is trying to point out that the stereeotype is wrong. You cant draw a longsword from your back and katanas are shitty swords, Great knives though.[/QUOTE]

Like any swords, Katanas are based on quality.

Most Katanas made were made by unskilled smiths and thus weren't that good.

In Europe, there was a bunch of longswords made that actually were just sharpened clumps of metal that weren't durable at all.

But both in Europe and in Japan there were expert smiths that made superb Katanas and longswords.

Although in Japan, things like Yari and the naginata were used more than katanas. In a battlefield, a spear/pole would almost always win against a Katana, since a katana can't do the same bash damage as a pole or something(also range).

Actually, when archeologists looked at skeletons from Sekigahara, they saw that most skulls had a cracked left side, meaning that whatever killed them, it was heavy and not meant for cutting. Katanas were an excellent blade for 1 to 1 combat though, that's why ninjas used them. And ninjas had shorter versions of the Katana (wakizashi or tanto), so they could most definitely be strapped to the back and drawn.

A tanto also has the advantage of being concealable, so if a ninja was pretending to be a civilian they wouldn't give themselves away by holding an expensive sword.

I'd still take an European blade over a katana.

Odin used a spear and rode a horse presumably while seeing from the eyes in his own head so he's probably out

Though he could have modded the spear in and been looking through the eyes of one of his ravens

His whole point was that bad swords were made in both places as were good swords, to be quite honest there is no point differentiating between the two as a good solid hit with either will hurt just as much. The quality of the smithwork and the skill of the wielder are all that matter, so then it comes down to your preference as to whether you prefer a straight double-edged or a curved single-edged blade, as the wielder.

I'm prety sure he meant a lot of swords were just iron smacked into shape and made pretty cheap, where a good sword would be made of tempered steel.

Tantos and wazikashis also had the advantage of being narrower than the katana. Which meant they were good for a nice slice.

Rock to the head has a reliable outcome

I'd agree on that as well. Not many swords are as deadly as a well wielded rapier. A strong rapier can even punch through plate armor.

Well if it's too big you won't be able to get close enough before they fuck you up, and you can't throw it too far.

And if it's too small it'll just ding off the armor.

and he pulls up his shield and stabs you with his metre + long sword.

Even if he had no armor, a sword gives him way more reach than you.
