the ending to this game was abosuletly badass and my favorite part when I played this back in middle school. Although it seems unrealistic (not saying the game was realistic at all) but seeing Marius just walk down the palace halls and kill praetorian guards like a badass was cool as hell as a kid. He's like doom guy in that he's just to angry to die.
Other than the minor historical inaccuracies (Which I suppose all games have), this is a sensationally fun and breathtakingly well crafted game, hopefully we'll see more one day!
Eh, “minor”, more like “95% inaccurate”, but if you play thinking that it’s not meant to represent the history of the real Roman Empire, it’s not too bad.
@@Pyrodorah Boudicca and Nero are real life figures of the first century. Of course, Nero never got older than 30, and Boudicca never rode an elephant and became the leader of a barbarian coalition (those never happened beyond their own regional borders, “barbarians” is an umbrella term we use for a lot of tribes who lived in the northern border of the Roman Empire, and each tribe had its own interests and its own culture). This is meant to represent an alternate version of the first century Roman Empire, which is fine, so long as people understand that a lot of what they see in the game is fictional.
It was definitely a very accurate on detail and story plot for the books to be given a complimentary auxiliary,,,, people need to onjectify words and not people, and characterize people not personality. Personality is like some razzle dazzle with some etiquette
Jumping back into Xbox after 10 years off: this game was great. Definitely worth a crack if you love the film Gladiator (2000) and the cinematics are awesome. If some big game developer invests in a sequel, it could be another modern classic. There is an audience, all we need are the right writers.
The game was much fun, and the storyline was like a movie with full of twists and turns. The graphics were pretty nice; the whole cutscene parts were like a movie. The ending gave me absolute goosebumps with that epic BGM; it was top-notch, and then a happy ending. Rome rose to glory by a simple man... I just loved that CRYTEK did an absolute great work in creating this awesome game. Part 2 required... very much.
I kinda want to see story of Vitalion and Leontius a Marius father who was seasoned veteran general and Vitalion served him as centurion Or some history based story such as we play as Young Julius Caesar and Crassus being his superior
Am I the only one that loves the scene at 18:48 followed by the theme after and just seeing all legionaries and troops just rushing in and taking the defences
I just love how armor works like yeah thats plate armor yeah you just stabbed at it yes the sword is just going trough an most likely even higher quality Metal like it is not existent obius isnt it?
The game sure was bit mediocre, but considering how shite the state of gaming industry is in 2024, I find the no-nonsense experience of Ryse downright refreshing. It reminds me of the generic games I love due to nostalgia, just because it was my first time experiencing a game.
Average Life expectancy was low because infant and child mortality was so ridiculously high for most of human history. Specifically in Rome, over half children never made it past their first year let alone age five. However when you factor out those issues, if you made it to age 10 you probably had a good chance of making it to age 45-50 and above. And anyone who survived their teen years has even higher chances. And the higher up in socio-economic classes you went, the more likely you were to survive. People living into their sixties and beyond would not be uncommon, though certainly far less than today. I mean numerous emperors lived long lives if they weren’t assasinated. Augustus died at age 75, Antoninus Pius was 74, Marcus Aurelius lived to 58, Hadrian was 62, Vespasian was 69, Tiberius was 77 years old. For non-emperors but still upper class, Cato the Elder liver to an amazing 85 years old. Livy, Tacitus, Strabo, and many others lived to their 60-70s which is basically the average for men today. For women, unfortunately records arent as clear and furthermore many died during childbirth. But we have some long-lived examples. Emperor Augustus second and third wife lived to their 80s. His only child, Julia the Elder lived to age 52, dying an early death due to being exiled and then imprisoned in harsh conditions. Domitia Longina, who was Emperor Domitian’s wife and the daughter of General Corbulo, lived to her 70s. Unfortunately many empresses died in their 30s-50s largely due to disease or assassination. And many divorces as well which means we dont know how long those noblewoman lived.
That is only due to child mortality rates and many occupancies and positions that were hazardous along diseases that kills the young. Once they made it to adulthood, they've survived the worst and develop many disease immunity and expects to live pretty decent age, not uncommon for there to be 60-70 year olds.
Boy we do love us some ancient rome games...I mean from rome total wars to shadown of rome in ps2 all the way to that one i will say we don't have enough badass games of that period
Wow! How do you create such beautiful visuals. Man, I'm so impressed I would like it if you were open to collaboration so that I can writes a short War related / disaster mini series
I still think that in all the cheering cut scenes they coulda added wayyyy more troops. Legions were thousands not hundreds. Not hard to CGI copy-paste
