What's historically inaccurate about this armor?

Because history can be uncool and you only want cool shit in your game / movie

Ryse was never meant to be historically accurate but a combination of Roman myths and tropes. Plus the game looks fuckin amazing.

I mean, we could have a media culture that at least tries harder. Why does the theatre try so hard to be historically accurate, autistically hiring the equivalent of a historical fact-checker just to make sure everything's realistic for 16th century England, while other industries don't even bother?

I personally don't really think it looks cool, I think it's jarringly false, and fanciful
