    I was expecting Jazza to get something drastically wrong. And i am actually happy to admit that i was wrong with my prediction. He did a great job with depicting both.

      Indeed. I've always appreciated his enthusiasm willingness to do research for stuff . And since he's an artist by trade, i don't expect historian level accuracy. I expect that he has sources that he trusts and does research with or through.
      if I have questions about authenticity, I seek out authoritative sources to help answer those questions.
      We generally don't expect perfection from a non-historian, but at least an effort towards accuracy.
      you are correct in that he did very well here.

    "Don't preorder until you see gameplay". I applaud to that. Big agree. But i do have a caveat: don't trust gameplay trailer. Those can still be altered. We have seen so many games introduced to us with shining graphics, destructible environment, smart AI, a lot of mechanics etc etc and real game we actually got has been few times much less. Thus imo wait for until content creators get their hands on the game and are able to share publicly what condition it is in. And only when you see actual gameplay from someone you (as a player or content enjoyer) watch - only then buy it.

    • @Grandwigg
      @Grandwigg 7 місяців тому +3

      Yeah, at the very least, don't pre-order. Companies have learned that little freebies with the pre-order hit the 'fear of missing out" button in our brains to make sure they get out money before reviews that aren't early access (and therefore manipulatable) are available.

      I can somewhat agree but I don't trust "content creators" either. People right now are extremely biased against Ubisoft for tons of reasons both valid and stupid. If you want a honest take shut all of that off and play it for yourself. Unless you look up pure gameplay with no commentary then you're just following what some UA-camr says and your opinion is theirs.

      @@BioUmano Well.. yes. Most of the time. But i think that fact when i see content creator playing it already gives me enough information to make decisions for myself. If i see bugs or unfinished elements ofc i will hold on with my purchase. But if i see a game that i like i will buy it (i do prefer games to be full when i buy them but i have bought some early access games too that i have enjoyed greatly such as "Gold With Your Friends" when i bought it and "Tape to Tape" which is still in early access but has working campaign, roguelite elements and progression already in game - everything else that comes after is just more content). From nearly 200 games i own on steam only around 10 are or have been in early access state when i bought them. I do try to avoid them but i judge games by how well they work and how much they would entertain me. I do not judge whole game by few labels devs have slapped onto it.

      @AzraelThanatos 7 місяців тому +2

      I'd always assumed that the "specific type of sword" thing is more of a thing tied to definitions about what would qualify as a sword and what would be a larger, bladed tool. So something that might, technically, qualify as something like a machete rather than a sword even if they're effectively the same thing, just that one is often viewed as more of a tool than a weapon, even though it would be just as good there.
      Kind of like how in Europe there were fine distinctions between swords and other blades due to the different people making them and a combination of needs and laws for stuff.

      I would like someone to confirm this but I did read that ninjas carve something on their scalp so that they can be reminded of what their target or mission is. If the mission is a long term one or one that requires a lot of waiting, then it means imbedding themselves into the local population. You don't want a paper trail, either, but you also don't want to forget what your mission is. Paper was expensive so anything written would stand out. Carving a character or a pictogram on the scalp can be hidden by, well, hair.

    This video poped up on my timeline and glad it did. I really was amazed on how fair your crituqes were on the video even though knowing it was a sponsored one. thing I love bout Jazza is how accurate he does on his research abilities before making his pieces sponsored or not which amazes me everytime. I also just subbed to ya as well since I'm a big history lover and cant wait to dive into the older content. :)

    I would like to counter your point on sword holding.
    As a (former) military man my self there is such a thing as parade grips - and there are parade grips for swords too as well as modern arms.
    parade grips are designed to be visually impressive but not combat effective. To me these swords seem to be held in a parade style grip - deliberately designed to not be 'ready to swing'. This sort of ceremony is exactly when a parade grip would be used.
    EG: one British parade grip for a sword is sword held close to body in one hand facing directly upwards, limbs and back strait.
    I have no idea whether parade grips were a thing in 17th century japan, but i find it highly likely - and I think that's what jazza was going for artistically.
    Also I totally noticed the top not being lowered thing ;)
    Close but no cigar jazza!

      That is not entirely correct. More tactical/military style rifle shooting does usually implement the tucked elbow, but many of the best competition rifle shooters actually prefer to flare the elbow out claiming several benefits.

    I have paused the video upon instructed:
    1. The room has too many samurai in it. Seppuku (as far as i understand it) at this time period was a deeply private and scared affair. It would be impolite to have more than was absolutely nesscary. So likely his second(the guy who de caps him) and maybe someone else to watch over it and ensure it was performed appropriately.
    2. Oda is wearing clothing on his upper torso.
    Those are my two reasons. But i could be wrong. It could be that jazza wanted to do oda, and Ubisoft instructed him to implement yasuke somehow. Maybe in reference to a point in the game.

    As soon as I saw this Jazza’s video, literally minutes after it was uploaded, I just KNEW Metatron was gonna cover it.
    While he’s an incredibly skilled artist, and I understand that his video was sponsored by Ubisoft, I feel like as someone who doesn’t know much about history, he shouldn’t have put so much stock into Yasuke, a figure that not much is known about for certain. I mean, he even has a brother, Shadiversity, who for as much shit as I’d give him, he does seem to take great pride in his historical research ability.
    I feel like Jazza had the resources to do his research, but just didn’t. I wonder if maybe part of the sponsorship deal was that he HAD to draw Yasuke specifically, but we’ll never know for sure.

    Shad and Jazza need to convince theyre other brother to make a channel. A youtube family, cuz even their sister has a channel with her husband.

      @leonrussell9607 Learning Brave. Very small, possibly dead these days. But I remember a Shadlands post where they all went to a medieval festival and made some wooden weapons with their kiddos.

    I am like you, barely can draw a decent stickman, I discovered this guy a little while ago, I've watch quite a few of his video.
    Jazza is absolutely amazing! I really hope he see your video.

    I came in for flames, and left in flames. I am so used to seeing Metatron fight for historical accuracy, that seeing him praise a well-researched (especially for a layman) video felt wholesome.
    I hope you do more positive videos like this, Metatron. I need those good feels, and when you do give them, it's awesome!

    Keep one thing in mind, good sir, is that Jazza generally aims his channel towards kids, so he needs to be reserved in his language.

      I'm not sure that would go so well...Jazza as an artistic talent 100% it would be great, but his brother I'm not so sure 😔
      Shad's stuff can be fun but it's always riddled with historical and martial holes and misconceptions that he outright refuses to research or even see when people point them out, not a great attitude to have if you want to team up with an educated historian, linguist and instructed martial artist 😕 I can see them getting along about as well as he did with Easton another even more prolific historian, archeologist and martial arts instructor.
      I'd love for everyone to agree and get along but it just doesn't seem to happen, if the community of the sword really is about spreading truth then there are going to be a few youtubers like Shad being called out
