Actually when you swing a sword or a dagger, the actual range of the attack in real life is always the same, regardless of the length of the blade used, because your center of gravity shifts according to the length of the weapon and the stroke will always end up reaching the same distance.
>>343907184
If we take "broadsword" to mean early modern basket hilts then katanas are actually way heavier

Why?
>>343909046
It's the draw force. An english longbow from that era has anywhere from 80 to 190. A modern longbow has a 'mere' 60-80. Hunting bows go anywhere from 40 to 70, and that's enough to kill most anything you'd want to put an arrow in.
You'd be pretty hardpressed to find someone in today's world who could handle anything in the 120+ range.
>>343909491
I think it's supposed to be that it's not real ammunition, but ammunition that causes the whole thing to vibrate violently so that when you stab someone you pull the trigger and the vibration makes the wound worse.
Are the longbows to the english what the katana is to the japanese?

They don't though, the entire point of these weapons is they turn a swing into concentrated single point penetration. They'll punch straight through your armour, or deform it so it crushes what it's supposed to be protecting.

Only an autist fails to infer the obvious meaning and has to have things spelled out with no chance of ambiguity. Everyone else can simply infer broadsword in this case refers to western broadswords, the only uneducated buffoon here would be yourself, who honestly believes that the OP could be comparing the same thing unwittingly.
I mean, even if you were retarded, the picture used is an added clue.
>>343912515
The impact generates a great deal of force that doesn't care about the thickness of your armor.
That's why warhammers and maces replaced swords as the sidearm of choice for men-at-arms. Someone in fullplate armor is essentially blade proof, but a hammerstrike to anywhere will crush bones and rupture soft tissue right through the armor.
Adding those flanges means it has some cutting power. The ultimate refinement in sidearm technology were combination hammer-axes. Hammerhead on one side, clawed hook or axe head on the other, and a sharp point at the top.
>>343912637
bait
>>343909854
Yes
muh Agincourt
>>343912515
>One example of a mace capable of penetrating armour is the flanged mace. The flanges allow it to dent or penetrate thick armour. Flange maces did not become popular until after knobbed maces.
Also literally every book I've read on the subject of middle ages warfare.
If you want realistic combat from that period, give everyone a fucking bow, the actual fighters spears/polearms, the fathead upper class/commanders swords and a few people some random bullshit they found in their tool shed.
>>343909147
That is odd how it has cartridges yet the trigger just causes the weapon to vibrate and shit like a high frequency blade.

Not really, it saves you making specialized ammunition for it, you just need standard blanks that are going to be readily available.
Katanas are heavy and cut through flesh extremely well as its like the onky thing they are good at
Broadswords are lighter and offer more dexterity aka defense

Berseria will be just as good. Read up on the cast and watch some trailers, it should hook you instantly.
Xillia 1 was mediocre, Xillia 2 was actually a good game. Zestiria was the worst Tales game I've actually played (which is 11 of them).

That's wrong, though. Up to the 1700s plate was still effective against the shitty Blunderbuss and Muskets they were using.
The problem with later period full plate armor was mobility, it really did weigh up to 110 pounds. It was a lot more practical to just wear a breastplate, a lot like how we wear Kevlar today.
>>343914196
greaves is tibetian for boots idiot, fuck you
>>343914704
Yeah, I thought the whole point of this thread was to list stupid shit that videogames get wrong.
And no, fucking full plate never had that much weight. Kill yourself right now. Ancient as fuck scale was heavy, and so were rings, but plate isn't heavy at all. It replaced all other forms of protection for a reason.
110 pounds is a fucking lot, my man.
>>343914752
Thats how that part of armour is literally called you mongtard.
The arent boots, they are greaves, becaus thats how you call them.
Just like how you dont refer to the base as ''that cloth skirt the horse is wearing'' you uneducated mexican piece of shit.

I said "up to". There were sets just for jousting that weighed 50 kg (110 pounds). Real sets weighed around 30 kg (66 lbs), depends on the person
