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

    I need to update people on how dumb most of the game is.

    Act 2 has the dumbest central conflict/climax.

    spoiler

    ___The khan blows up a bridge killing a lot of samurai. Uncle says “we’ll fix the bridge and attack at dawn!” Jin points out the khan will do it again and more soldiers will be slaughtered. Uncle shouts “lol so what?!” Jin suggests sneaking in/anything other than betting the enemy will run out of bombs.

    Jin sneaks in, does a poisoning. Uncle finds out and is really angry about the terror and fear Jin caused by killing people with poison abs sneaking instead of by having a mass suicide charge.
