im sorry to say, but this game is terrible in my opinion
its too japanese
1. Racism
2. You haven't even played it.
3. Those pics are of the Japanese version of the game...
What kind of a world is it if we can only hate things of white caucasian decent? He doesn't like it because it's themed Japanese, it doesn't make him racist, he's not saying "Japanese people are inheritently less intelligent and weaker compared to white people, who obviously are superior", he doesn't proclaim superiority or inferiority of either race, he just doesn't like samurais, to which he has a right.
He doesn't necessarily have to play it to dislike it, much like a person allergic to nuts doesn't have to eat a Snickers to know it's bad for him/her - he/she's allergic to damn nuts.
I doubt that the European version will take place during the French revolution or the U.S version during the times of Civil War, so point is moot.
EDIT: The auto-merge system needs a serious revamp - unless the posts have literally 5 seconds of a delay between them it just won't freaking merge.
