Oh boy, another game where "historical accuracy" means "no people of color" and "you can pull yourself up into nobility by your own bootstraps"
All I know about this game is that the director was a gamergater and that the enemy horde you face is the Cumans. Which is racist precisely because the Cumans are turkic.
Legit, give me a game where you die at 12 because your dad let a rat drown in the family beer supply and gave everyone the plague
This kind of happens in Kingdom Come. If you choose to play on the hardcore mode you have a 90% chance of dying before the game starts from any number of random occurences. You need to keep rerolling a new game until you get a run where you don't die as a child.
Pressing a button that doesn't work 9 times out of ten is not "hardcore"
It's just fucking tedious
Well, it is a gag. Kingdom Come is already pretty hardcore out of the box, so the fact they make it hard to even start a new game on the 'hardcore mode' was funny, I thought.
It wasn't funny when Traveller did it either
Oregon Trail, but 800 CE Europe
The kind of game where you can die because you were caught washing your dick and subsequently got burned as a witch
no , historical accuracy means that they rebuild the areas historical accurate ? Its the only game to ever done that , take a area annd rebuild it very acuratly.
For some people that are interested in History is this is a very big deal , like it is for Dull people that they killed the Fantasy Enemy to save the Fantasy Land , with the Comrads that have personal issues with the Gods and deamons of the Fantasy world , that you fixed beforehand ..
thats it not all wild Fantasy , is the deal for some
Assassin's Creed rebuilds historic places, but it's still a fantasy game. Honestly, the only history people that seem excited about this game are the chuds who only think history is learning about battles and weapons.
Do these games even have citations like Pentiment (a fun adventure game in a historic setting)? If something wants to be historically accurate in any way, it should have cited research.
you could be angry & Anti on more valid target.. its pretty childicsch and escapism to put this gravity of emotions into Playtools..
You're the one defending the game by this guy, but suit yourself
Treat defense force
Can you explaine this
Accusation in detail ?
Are you accusing 12 th Bohemia of not having Particpated in the Slave trade ?
or do you postulate that only , "Past Slave importing Nations" are not Racist , because they have the adequate ratio of people of color ?
Are games generally Forbidden that play before the 16th century ?
Are you American by any chance ?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
That's not what happens in this game at all. You're a noble bastard raised by peasants (which explains why you feel like a nobody starting out and have no skills that nobles are raised with) but your noble father still looks out for you and pulls strings to get you the freedom with which you gain skills and become an adventurer or whatever. There's no bootstraps involved, just explicit noble privilege.
