The best gladiator game ever made
>>12162674Pity about the mandatory stealth sections
>>12162675They are necessary for both story pacing and gameplay depthA game focused exclusively on combat meat grinder would be repetitive and generic.
>>12162674I did a playthrough earlier this year and it was pretty fun. Still need to replay it on Hard and Extreme, buy all of Octavianus' room decorations, survival mode, do one of each Salvo etc
>OctavianusAlthough this was part of Augustus' name at this point, only his enemies and those who saw him as a brash upstart undeserving of his name would call him "Octavianus." He called himself "Gaius Julius Caesar" or simply "Caesar," and all his friends did the same since this was actually what the dictator (and now a god) Julius Caesar gave him in his will; his name and all the money and responsibilities it carried.You give Antony and Cleopatra a victory whenever you call him "Octavianus."
Ridley Scott did this
>>12162772Then they should have made them good, instead of the boring and poorly executed mess they ended up with.
>>12162796And he was based for it
>>12162792I call him Augustus
>>12162781>replay it on Hard and ExtremeGood luck beating the final bosses.If you manage to do this, please post the screenshots here.
>>12162828NTA but I did clear it on hard at the time (on an actual ps2, hooked to a projector at my workplace), no screenshots so you'll have to trust me, bro.
>>12162828Ohh, I can't remember how hard the last boss exactly was. I know you fight the dude with the knife fists then Augustus immediately afterwards which sucked though.I did replay that part a few times from the main menu to try and get some of the exclusive Salvo you can only get in fighting Augustus, and I still think I'm missing some.
It has the only "achievements" I've ever enjoyed, I still remember "Don't kick the elephant" and "The old switcheroo".
>>12162674>best gladiator gameima stop you right there

>>12162675thisThe stealth levels sucks
>>12162772>A game focused exclusively on combat meat grinder would be repetitive and generic.BULLSHIT, this mentality has been poisoning gaming for the past 20 years. A game should triple down on what it's good at. Doom, Half Life, Halo, FEAR are just about shooting motherfuckers and are all the better for it. Shadow of Rome should have done the same and focused exclusively on cutting people up in gladiator fights.
Stealth sections are pretty ass, but Pansa's house and the little room you can get items for is comfy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq_h_KgO9OA
>>12167514>>Doom, Half Life, Halo, FEAR>listed 2 tech demosOpinion discarded.Imagine if Tomb Raider was just gunning people and animals around or just exploring caves, jumping and climbing stuff? or both: every particular area of the game full of things to kill and geometry to climb?Now stop with this generic and soulless approach to game design. Go back to your tech demos and non-stop action FPS games tailored for the low IQ dudebro.Capcom tried to do something special and, in fact, they did.
>>12162674>Roman blitzkrieg >Aerial cruelty to animals>Fetch this>Wrath of the godsah the mid 00s
>>12167610>Capcom tried to do something special and, in fact, they did....and the fact that this game is not available for Xbox and PC, is evidence that the low IQ mongoloids on those platforms are incapable of appreciating a game like this.Nintendo would never agree if the game was not heavily censored, anyway.
