>>3996575weeping
Unironically looks like shit, cel shaded models instead of their traditional hand drawn art ? that alone raises all my redflags, Conquistador was made 15 years ago and with a budget of a pack of chewing gums and it looks a lot better than this.
>>3996580This is a joke.

>>3996580damn
Not one fucker in the development team pointed out that it looked like shit.
>>3996618>>3996636That is what you get listening to rando fans
>>3996580>>3996614>>3996635>>3996636clearly saving on assets by not drawing 2d portraits and re-using actual character models
>>3996580looks like a shitty mobile gameRome looked so good, how did this happen?
>>3996640Doesn't mean it doesn’t look like shit lmao
>The year is 1600 AD. A battered Dutch frigate arrives in Japan following a harrowing journey. You - an English privateer on a mission from Queen Elizabeth - are thrust into command of the small surviving crew, and must navigate the dangerous civil war politics of Sengoku-era Japan.I'm guessing the dev team watched Shogun and thought there wasn't enough africans and female girl boss sailors in it. Genuinely what is the point of using a historical setting if you aren't actually going to be historical? Conquistador and Vikings was manageable with the mercenaries but Rome was atrocious when it came to immersion, having to take the retarded Californian dream team along with you soured it, especially when the option of having your centurions was already there for some missions. How are they going to make this stand out? I highly doubt they'll let you chud out and be some Protestant colonialist with Walter Raleigh and Francis Drake turning up alongside you so will they actually just follow Shogun but with some wacky hijinks along the way? It could be a very interesting setting to explore but I just do not trust these devs to do that well.
>>3996745>Genuinely what is the point of using a historical setting if you aren't actually going to be historical?Subversion to induce internalized brainwashing. Eventually there will only be new generations who grew up with the bullshit and no one will be left who remembers otherwise.
>>3996575One of the most boring choices they could have made, and ugly to boot. Easy pass.
>>3996646>looks like a shitty mobile gamePeople said the exact same thing about Expeditions: Rome
>>3996745>Rome was atrocious when it came to immersionAncient Rome did not practice racism based on skin color or biological inferiority. With the trade networks of the Roman empire as extensive and far reaching as they were it's almost certainly impossible that there weren't black Romans. Septimus Severus, the Roman emperor in 193 AD was dark skinned and African.
>>39968312/10 bait
>>3996831I've noticed this a lot more lately, newfag Marxists who view Roman slavery and imperialism as "not that bad". That bit of moral conditioning is very amusing.
>>3996888TripsI'm assuming they want to try and "claim" Rome and Greece. I have likewise noticed a rise in people defending Elagabalus (they use female pronouns for him) and Nero. They don't even say historians lied about them, they just actually defend their worst behaviours. With Greece they take the pop-history gay shit and believe it 100% whilst associating themselves with the paedophilic claim as if that is in anyway acceptable. I genuinely doubt there will ever be a historical game about either Ancient Rome or Greece without whole dev teams of Italian and Greek chuds making them.
>>3997097Well, I don't wholeheartedly believe polemics about Emperors either. It's all layers of propaganda and grudges and personal agendas, people haven't changed, so these types are just adding to the pile themselves, looking for justification for their desires.That's the problem with ideology in general, it becomes a lens. The cure is "Cui bono?".
>>3997147One of my favourite Emperors is Julian so I am very used to taking things with a grain of salt lol.
Video games?
>>3996580looks horrible desuhope you can at least mess with the civil war and make factions other than tokugawa win
>>3996580WHat in the fuck is that lmaoHow do you go from Rome kino to that
>>3998716Well, I can't blame her, he is a SNACK.
