It shatters the immersion, and I'm personally tired of this nonsense fanboy dogma ruining all these games, forcing the main character to use a katana. Everyone falsely believes the katana is some god-tier weapon when in fact, Samurai rarely used them in battle, preferring spears, bows, and tachi over it more than 85% of the time. It was only ever relied on as a last-ditch effort because even the samurai understood it wouldn't likely save them. I just feel that a lot of great stories are ruined because as someone who know the facts behind the blacksmithing of weapons, the history or bladed warfare among various things. I will never get over their use, where every other sword would literally do a better job.

Forcing it upon the player in a game where they mentally take on the role of the protag detracts from the narrative and the game. I wouldn't be caught dead using such a poorly made weapon, and I feel that any character that is "me" would feel the same fiery passion as I do.

My brother in christ, this is a hentai harem game, that purposely follows a lot of anime tropes. I'm pretty sure the dev went with the katana because it looks cool. No deeper meaning than that. Also realism is the bane of fun game design.

Yea i think he is taking things far too personally. This is a hentai game. Who th efuck cares what weapons are in it and how they are used? Its PORN.

Immersion, you say? Is it the katana that bothers you, or the fact that the protagonist, knowing that the enemy has firearms, arms himself with a cold steel?

I'll remind you of the previous solution - he decided that it would be a great idea to simply take the computer out of the office of a company that makes robots that have already threatened humanity in a military conflict, but we promised that we would no longer treat them as a thing - and now Evil Robot, the president of a new race and the school council, appears.

This is a comedy porn plot, buddy, relax. And the katana could very well be made of carbon or ceramic monomolecular alloy.
