Ubisoft’s Valiant Hearts: The Great War is proving to be an appealing proposition for many different videogame audiences around the world, but pinning down the exact reasons for this would never be easy. The setting, the art style or simply the fact that it’s different? All of the above, according to Adrian Lacey, IP development director for Ubisoft Studio France.
Some of the game titles have only a good setting and partially repeat the real events of the past. At the same time, some projects are a rethinking of military events, political debates, and trade coalitions. Here are games that have a historical storyline.
That should be "Historical". To think that some peeps walk away with this interface as bing their history lesson. No wonder we have some real sad sacks with shattered realities.
I know what you mean. There are people who actually think 0 black men fought in WWII. The history, of course, is 1.2 million just from the USA. Then there are the people who claimed women didn't fight in WWII. They ignore one of the greatest snipers of all time, Lyudmila "Lady Death" Pavlichenko or the WWII female fighter pilots.
It's like all they learned was the US/UK version of WWII. Then they get triggered because they find out that women and black men fought in the war. But then they are suddenly silent when Ubisoft changed the very real shieldmaiden, Eivor Varinsdottir, into a man.
It's sad that they learned such a shallow, superficial version of "history."
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Sometimes we all need a good cry. And while a good book or touching movie can do the trick, there’s plenty of video games with emotional narratives and motifs out there that can help work through some complicated emotions or just experience a sad story."
The end? Who cares about the end! Tidus was a baby. What about Jehct, my favorite one arm wielding spirit :'(

Well said. A good game is a good game, regardless of poly count,4k,1080p vs 720p, 30fps vs 60fps.
Used to weep during pong back in the day.
One should spend a day on n4g and you could easily reverse that title.
exactly, someone tell David cage this so he doesn't just keep making mediocre stories with high polygon counts, I can't believe Cage actually said emotion is impossible without things like high polygon counts, has the man ever read a book??
