looking forward to the black and white filter in Cyberpunk 2099 being called Fritz Lang Mode, black and white Red Dead Redemption 3 being Leone Mode, etc because self-important signifiers are the epic pop culture references of 2020. gently caress!!!

during filming rashomon kurosawa and crew mixed ink in with the rain to make it standout more against white background. with his bnw films, viewers especially in the west were blown away with how dynamic dense vivid and literally deep were his frames all within the limitations of bnw. goobye

It is pretty dumb they called it Kurosawa mode and not just black and white mode which is what it is and also why would you play a game in black and white

It’s one of those things they included so people would be like whoa did you hear you can play it in kurosawa mode??? And then they get it and switch it on for 1 second and are like whoa that’s so cool then flip it off and never think about it again

still having fun but yeah the game is gettin kinda easy after a few health upgrades/charms and stuff. i bumped it up to hard but i don't really want to do lethal...cuz then theres no reason to do the health upgrades n stuff right? if you die in one hit anyway

You can take a few hits after bumping your health up in lethal mode, it’s not purely one hit and you’re dead. I didn’t play in hard so I don’t know how it compares but the thing I liked about lethal was that it made the enemies have low health too so it keeps that early game balance where you play defensively and fights are over in a few sword swings either way

I'm glad that difficulty modes like this are become more common, Shadow of War and a few others have it too. It's much better than western developer difficulty disease where hard just turns enemies into HP sacks

finished act 1 with about 21 hours on the clock so far, doing lotsa side stuff and rarely fast traveling. bumped it up to lethal shortly before the act 1 finale, definitely the way to play it

Its apparently a DLC rather than an upgrade of sorts which is making people mad and confused.

So, here is an article that seems to break that down:
