Who cares, it's a video game not a textbook for history class.

That’s not an argument. If that’s the case it should have aliens wielding AK47s and Godzilla blast attacks with scissors as swords.

You can literally apply that to ANYTHING. If the next Forza came out and it was like Mario kart “who cares it’s just a video game, it’s not a real car for racing on a track”

Or

If saving private Ryan has the Germans in pink zebra outfits firing lasers at invading giant crabs on the beaches of Normandy. “Who cares it’s just a movie, not a history textbook”

It doesn’t work.

It all comes down to how the game is framed. I’m for honors case, it’s not historically accurate. It never claimed to be. The concept alone isn’t accurate as these factions didn’t exist at the same times anyway.

And samurai didn’t use wood as armor...

Just saying. No slight against you.

No, it doesn't have giant enemy crabs.

It's a video game dude, of course not.
