On my end it is less about shaming weebs but dispelling the weeb myth of Katanas. Katanas were not the primary weapon of the Samurai during Sengoku and earlier (actual war time eras) and the general obsession with Katanas (and really swords in general) has been a net negative for both weapon representation and even depiction in all media.

Think about it: how many movies have you watched where a swordsman cuts through steel armor?

I understand spears are a superior weapon for open warfare, but I am very biased against them in video games because of faggots feinting with them in Chivalry.

Swords are much cooler because they are more versatile. An adventurer that's exploring an ancient cavern or traversing a narrow cliff needs his hands free and his weapon out of the way. Having a big dumb pole on your back is unwieldy and goofy.

True, you can order a modern-day katana of much higher quality make but the design of the katana itself is flawed. A katana will always have a lesser core strength than a straight sword, and you can't grip the strong of the blade on a katana to use the crossguard as a bludgeoning instrument. It's just an all around more situational, less versatile weapon.

Everything you think you know about swords is a lie.

>>384940903

I can't think of a single scenario where a bayonet would be more effective than just unloading at close range. If you're out of ammo, don't be on point. If your gun jams, grab your side arm.

Pretty much all western fantasy such as LOTRs with armored Orcs has the protagonists cutting down hordes of orcs with random slashing attacks to their chest armor. In Japanese shows; especially anime, Katanas are always cutting through steel. Surprised no one posted that image of the Katana cutting through the European sword yet.

Pretty much all games; including games like Chivalry, M&B Warband, Kingdom Come, and For Honor have swordsmen hitting the armor for equal damage.

Doesn't matter what you think. Its a fact that Bayonets are still standard issue. If you can't see the value in this perhaps you are less an authority than you think you are.

>>384942414
Weapons like the Tetsubo and Japanese chained weapons get little representation precisely because the Katana is all-encompassing.

>>384942545
Western polearms where made to crush armor ala the halberd with there far heavier heads.

The Guan Dao works incredibly well against anyone with leather or light armor which was very common where it was.

The British successfully used bayonet charges in the Falklands War, the Second Gulf War and in Afghanistan. Hell, in 2004 they bayonet charged a mortar position with 100 enemy fighters, killed 40 of them, and didn't suffer a single loss.

Bayonet charges are still used because of their psychological shock value.
People are naturally scared of a bunch of soldiers running at them with knives.

>>384941975
China has plenty of games, they just don't share them with the rest of the world.

>>384942291
If I say knife do I mean a particular type of British knife? No I mean a knife. The same goes for Messer or any other word meaning knife. If you want to be specific, you'd have to say Langes Messer, Großes Messer, or Kriegmesser, if you refer to a particular Medieval German knife/sword.

The same goes for Japanese sword, in which case you should call them Nihonto (日本刀), or literally Japanese sword.

Many polearms were intended for dueling and were likely closer ranged than many swords due to the "paddle" grip many Europeans preferred.

The problem is that so many think Polearms == Pikes which is fucking retarded.

As you'd guess "MUH LOOOOOORRREEEE"

Also "BLACK PERSON IN GONDOR". I mean yeah sure black people in vidya woo hoo, but we don't know the character. He could be a decent fella.

I mean my issue with the latter is that it'll be used to shitpost against people who might want to talk about the game seriously.

Outside of that your typical stuff "the combat is soo easy and the story is lame". They are kinda right on both, but they said it in a way to imply it makes the game outright terrible. I've played the game, the combat is fine and playable, and the story isn't a grand slam, but it isn't a pile of garbage like other game's stories, it's decent.
