Let's get a "games no one ever talks about" thread

Goddamn I fucking loved that game.

Spear of Achilles best weapon

>>387635924
Agreed. Great use of large armies of enemies without resorting to Dynasty Warriors style of making them all entirely useless fodder.

Cleaving through waves of romans with the blades of athena then rage attacking ten heads off was so satisfying.

Plugging the gamecube back in. Good job anon.

>>387635924
Top game. Blatant God of War ripoff but still a great time. Always the Total War guys to make more.

Thank fuck I'm not the only one

The only game that has ever satisfied my "one against many" craving so well

>feel game is starting to get kind of ridiculous
>suddenly the romans send out flamethrower troopers and there's an undead dragon
10/10, some of those levels were relentless as well

Why can't more games do this? The moment you enter the coliseum at the end was perfect.

this fucking game though, every weapon felt amazing and fun to use, the grunts were fun to kill and the bosses were fun to fight.
except talos, but he barely counts
you could tell the developers enjoyed making this. more games need to be this fun.

the voices are fucking great

the announcer sounds like fucking cortez

Whoa, that 300 line about fighting in the shade is in here. This was before 300, yeah? Was it a famous line from legit history?

>>387642312
probably it was a general thing everyone knew at the time

>>387642312
The ancient Greeks talked shit to their enemies all the time, laconic rhetoric I think it was called, wouldn't be surprised if it was an historical line

>>387641797
the voices are glorious, but the delivery in a lot of places fell flat, imo

>>387642312
i had always assumed it was an homage to the graphic novel

>Frank Miller always did it first
>fight me

>>387642312
Yes, it was. Spartans spoken almost entirely in sass and zingers.

Between learning how to stab things, young spartans also learnt philosophy and poetry to make sure they are as sharp mentally as they were physically.

Another famous example of their wit is when Alexanders father was taking over Greece. He He wrote a letter to Sparta, stating "You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city".

Sparta replied by saying "If". He never invaded.

Alexander got the last laugh though.

After conquering more or less everything of value, he erected a statue about how it was achieved by all the great greek states, taking a moment to mention how Sparta wasn't involved.
