      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.

      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 can pull yourself up into nobility by your own bootstraps”

      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.

    The first one was one of the most boring games I ever pirated. Whose fantasy is “I want to be a kinda slightly above average dude in feudalism”.

    I bought the first game on sale and at no point during the three hour tutorial section did I come across any interesting gameplay or story but then it was too late to get a refund

    I fukken loved the first game, although on a replay once I got to the combat tutorial I noped out. Hopefully they’ve taken some notes from some of the other “realistic sword combat” games that have come out that the swordplay doesn’t have to be so stiff.

      Yeah i didn’t really the combat. I was on consile though and i think that’s a big part of my problem with it, it just never felt right. I’ve got mixed feeling about the game overall, but the general concept was great and they did an amazing job with the setting.

    First game was ok, the pacing wasn’t my cup of tea but I did actually like the world. I’ve been to a lot of castles and real medieval villages so the detail they put into accuracy stood out. It’s a shame the director is a chud, but what they made never really seemed affected by that.

    The soundtrack seems a lot better.

      It was interesting playing that game. There were some things i really liked. I think my biggest issue with it was that it felt like such a slog to get any skill to some kind of level of basic competency. Setting was great though. I’d love to see more games with non fantasy settings like that, but with a little more respect for proples time.

    I’ve kinda flip flopped all over regarding the first game, in some regards it’s pretty interesting with the lengths they went to recreate accurate medieval architecture (actual churches with mosaics and frescoes as well as peasant homes not being shit hovels). On the other side it did have a lot of features that were frustrating and could have likely been done smoother (still love that you start out illiterate and require around a week of in game time to learn to read). The story itself is neither bad nor good and honestly the side quests were far more interesting (going on a drunken bender with a village priest was a highlight quest).
