Why are katanas so underpowered in video games?

They're the perfect balance between sharpness, weight, and cutting ability. The ultimate warrior's weapon that allows for speed, power, and precision.

Is Etna a loli or a flat chested girl?
Brown rice or white rice?
Ridges or no ridges?
Moo goo gai pan or orange chicken?

That's not a katana.

It's a wakizashi at best. Possibly a kodachi, but unlikely.

I think it's a wakizashi.

Tell that to For Honor devs. Though I suppose a game where plate armor knights are fighting animu samurai isn't terribly concerned with realism...fun as hell too.

Etna is perflat, not loli.
Brown rice is supposedly healthier, but i prefer fluffy white rice.

Because they're the shitty six shooter of Japan's Wild West Era. Flashy shitty sidearms that only worked on other retards carrying similar sidearms and were barely used except as ceremonial weapons to indicate status in largescale battle.

Also in any other front they'd be outclassed by superior made weaponry, superior armor, or shields.

I disagree, but you're entitled to your own opinion.

I loved Zenoclash's gameplay. #2 made it even sweeter.

If you haven't played those for melee combat, you're missing out.

Condemned had a very nice combat system as well.

Why don't they just make swords out of really thing concrete? When a car crashes into a wall it's the car that gets fucked up, rarely the wall. So it stands to reason that a concrete sword would wreck everything.

Tantos are much shorter than that and not as curved. It's likely a wakizashi as mentioned repeatedly already.

Half a minute in and they spout this shit. Katana was back-up sword. Battles were mostly fought with bows, naginata's and yari's.
