"Hello there! After a three-week hiatus, I'm very pleased to be writing one of these posts again and delighted to reintroduce the Eurogamer Show."
Total War: Rome II launched 10 years ago today, and remains a staple in the grand strategy genre in PC gaming.
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.

And while they can be incredibly fun to play, their historical accuracy is often pretty shaky. Don’t get me wrong, in recent years developers have started to work harder to get facts right, but we’re still far from reality. Today we will explore 4 big games that butchered the chapters of history they are based on."
EA tried to market Battlefield 1 as an epic WW1 period piece. It was really just a hybrid of stripped down Battlefield 4 and Star Wars Battlefront (2015) disguised as WW1 shooter.
So you you are telling me historically you cant jump off a ten story building into hay and live.
Over all agreed. Great watch. I feel if we give MMOs and other online games reviews in layers over time, I feel the same should apply if a game has a huge bug that after time is fixed, patched etc.
ie its review when it releases, doesn't represent what its like currently, great example is BF4. Still one of the most played MP titles right now, yet it got poor reviews for LIFE, based on 3 to 4 months after release.
I feel if its game breaking enough, second reviews or updates are necessary if the product changes drastically in quality due to it.
Are we reviewing a game or just how it plays for a few days? Is that a fair representation of a product as dynamic as games?
Music albums don't get updates, films don't just get patches and do overs after they hit the silver screen lol, why should games get day 1 reviews for life based on other mediums review times?
Pfff, play games. You can easily review now Uncharted 4 based of Uncharted 2.
