That is a really odd comparison because in real life, even 2 handed longswords are very fast and souls like games slow them down a lot. They are not meant for realism at all. A baseball bat is also not made for fighting but for putting as much force as possible into the ball and is very top heavy whereas a sword is balanced close to the guard and very quick, meant to outmanoeuvre the opponent
in souls, the 2-handed longswords that are a realistic size are realistically fast when you wield them in 2-handed mode. the ones that are slow are more anime sized.
baseball bat was not the best metaphor, i went with that because most people (including souls fans) haven't swung an actual sword in their lives.
Every time I see someone say that most people haven't swung a sword/ shot a gun/ been in a fight/ been in an accident, etc, I always wonder if I'm the one in the bubble or if they are.
it's very comfy here in my bubble and i have no problems with that
