very interesting!

The Longest Day is not a fair comparison as, not only was filmed in a different way and time period, it also covered a much wider scope of the battle. Saving Private Ryan is much more comparable to the movie 1917. All three are fantastic movies in their own ways.

HD is the best. Not cartoons. Conquistadores are not humpbacked and weak. But Ensemble Studios put atheist propaganda in the games. Huns worshipped Tengri. They were not atheist degenerates. North Koreans are.

Great discussion...I always appreciate hearing the perspective of folks from places outside the US talking about this movie. Some of the things you gents talked about got me thinking about a few things to comment... I definitely commend you for mentioning the fact that the US Army Rangers rode to shore in British landing craft, but I actually fault Spielberg more than you folks specifically for his erasure of those British sailors on the landing craft. You talked about leaving out British troops, and I tend to agree that you let Hollywood be Hollywood in not showing any of the troops on the other beaches, but to me leaving out the British sailors who actually drove those Rangers to shore is too far, AFAIAC. Spielberg's excuse has always been that putting British sailors in would have been inaccurate to the real boats that he could get, which were of course LCVPs that would have been operated by Americans, but I still think that Spielberg was wrong to do that. To me, it is better to honor those British boat crews by putting them in, than it is to be trapped by history into leaving out their participation. Also, just to be clear...the US in WW2 would never send a mission out to find a single soldier like that...not if they did not even know if he was alive or where he was. If he had been captured and the US knew where he was, they would have perhaps considered a rescue mission, but not in these circumstances where there was no way to know where he was or if he was even alive. You mentioned Dale Dye's role as the officer speaking out AGAINST the mission to get Ryan, and he was speaking the reality of how the Army would handle it...and did in the case of the 4th Niland brother. And you folks talked about whether Miller was an "ideal" commander and about that attack on the machine gun, but if we were talking about real life...it was a huge mistake by Miller to attack that machine gun, and almost surely a violation of his orders. If he was really ordered by General George Marshall to go and get Ryan, then his orders would have been to make that his priority...even over winning the war...and his job would have been to avoid side missions that could prevent him from saving Private Ryan. Not to mention the fact that using his medic on the attack like that is also a violation of the rules of war...a minor war crime...and another HUGE red flag of his poor decision making. If Miller had lived and Ryan NOT been saved, Captain Miller would have been court martialed for violating his orders. You folks touched upon a lot of the other things that I normally comment when other folks ask me about SPR, so I really appreciated the discussion overall. I agree with you folks that the movie has some amazing accurate moments, as well as an overall high level of realism, the only thing that I would add is that the movie is also full of a lot of things that are wrong...and that Spielberg clearly never lets the real history prevent him from telling the fictionalized story he wants to tell.

Brilliant video! :) Meanwhile, I can't imagine playing the old version now, without shift-clicks, multi-queueing, preserving resources in villager hands and (hallelujah!) farms reseeding... (and many more QOL things, actually)

my game

I've never seen so many people walk out of a theatre as this one and at the time I didn't blame them. Perhaps I need to go back and give it another chance.

A great movie by Terrence Malick. He also made “A Thin Red Line” much in the same style, one of my favorite movies.

Great creative idea for a video! Well executed too. Enjoyed it very much.

Liking for relic generating gold pun

funny enough i just recently bought the de version and was really sad not seeing the old intro. remember loved watching it as a kid.

Excellent review. The controversy of the portrayal of Dev was very loud at the time.

You can get the original intro in the DE as a mod, you know...

DE is better in many wayd, but the love devs put into the og one is unmatched

6.1K views over 3 years. That's horrifying. Our society simply does not value quality, burying videos like this :(

This is such a quality aoe2 lore contribution to the community. We love this game!

What a well edited and humorful video! I subscribed! :)

I wouldn't really call it a subtle detail to be honest. But a nice video!

Really nice video! Was actually surprised you don't have more subcribers

I love the intro, they really should remaster it for DE

yes the game intro is a sad but im missing the william wallace mission 1 intro more since it gave you a look into what could be part of your game and i loved it every time that i watched it and the call to arms to help wallace in his campain even if his campain is a bit of a letdown but that is a tutorial for ya

The improved graphics?!? Are all of you serious?!? There is beauty in the original graphics, not to mention the 3 most horrible graphical changes they have done... 1. The hp bar on the units are so bright and bulky, the original ones are thinner and smoother, way more better! 2. Most of the occlusion of objects and buildings get overlapped by units on the corner, making the visuals absolutely unrealistic! 3. The collapsing building graphics are, yes more realistic, but the solidity and obstacle of the falling building is absolutely inconsistent, while a gate, or a castle is still collapsing, where most of the building is still intact, the units that have destroyed that building are able to passing through it, absolutely horrible and unsustainable to see, the remastered edition is just a waste of money, The Conquerors, 2001 is the best and most stable version to play still today!!!

wish i kept my original box...

It's interesting looking back at this and seeing what you got right. Some things you were spot on about, but some turned out completely different. They seem to have changed the map layout A LOT since Duga is now nowhere near where it was in the trailer when seen from near the cooling towers

Oh my that cow killed me

One of the best intro videos. It provided a great feel that matched the game itself

15:12 by far the best part on the video

She didn’t need to occupy large space, because she was everywhere as she was the earth life and everything the great mother ,she could be with her children everywhere they went and could be in their pocket as they traveled and migrated to be with them protect them etc. they were her and she was them . She is a mother a woman, a mother goddess.🥰 thank you for this video

Good Job Bryce!!!! brilliant work

Believe it or not, this is not the worst American Civil War game ever made.

It is so crazy that they made those pieces by using walrus tusks, all the hard tasks been thorugh the manufacture for a piece of high class worth entertainment. Now you can just 3D print a whole set in a single day.

Step 8 reznov freedom

Couldn't have said it better. I am so annoyed by this game and its completely perverted portrayal of history. And what frustrates me the most is the fact that most people don't see it and praise it so much.

Nice, I'm one of the 6 guys that worked on this animation. I made those chess pieces. That was a really fun animation to work on.

Bro with in the first 42 seconds all ready war crimes

thanks for this video. For a series that prides itself on questioning the past, it was really frustrating to see what they did to Cleopatra and Caesar. Even Ptolemy deserved more character than what he got

So when you're going to show the Stalker Books from your Stalker Analysis video before, I hope you're doing well.

lol

I can't believe a major publisher like Activision put this out. It was 'Activision Value' I know but you'd think they'd still set the bar a LOT higher than this for a budget game!

Why stranger looks like Adam grom Hunt Down The FREEMAN

Imagine super sus in this game

Awesome video!

Years ago i looked at the google map and realized that real life Yanov station is closer to reactor no 4 than my home to my office. Damn.

I remember buying this game as a kid when it came out and being disappointed when I installed it and it crashed nonstop. Glad I wasn’t missing out on much. I have to wonder if the lack of reloading animation and just dumping piles of muskets on the player was out of sheer laziness/apathy 😂

This isn't as good as your later more scripted video, but it's still an insightful and interesting watch. With a bit more refinement I'd love to see more of this format, I find it a really cool concept. You ought to make more videos again, seriously.

I wasn't gonna comment but I've been watching this video assuming you're a channel with tens of thousands of subs and when I actually checked the count, I was kind of shocked. This is crazy high quality and well researched for the audience size. Please keep it up, this was a fantastic video.

This is absolutely fantastic. Now this is on depth. Pulling out Google maps.

the rook was a tower in the game 😅😅😅

nice

The biggest most important thing about the older games and what kept them relevant to this day was the moddability, let's just hope this game isn't being developed in something like Unreal Engine 5 or something inaccessible.
