    About Video Game Sophistry:
    Video Game Sophistry is an opportunity to celebrate the creators and the artistry found in Video Games. I believe that Games are the most effective medium from experiencing another world, and another way to live. Expect to see a series of videos showcasing the narratives hidden in every game, interviews with game developers, along with our bench mark weekly podcast, Dialogue Wheel.
    Andy Borkowski started this program nearly 10 years ago and, in that time, it has changed from a simple RUclips show, to a radio show, a tv show and now once again a RUclips destination. Welcome to VGS.

    I have to say the cinematics and voice acting are beyond good, they are insanely good for a video game. This is Gladiator-tier Hollywood stuff right here, and Crytek nailed it. I understand the reviews are a bit lacking due to the rather short campaign and repetitive combat, but as overall entertainment, this is like a 5+ hour interactive movie. Absolutely worth it. I'll play it over again.

      Ratatoskr Exactly. It is very entertaining at that too. If people want to play a game for historical accuracy, they are indeed boring little wet-blankets. Just stick to your mods if you're gonna have a problem with it. Another example that is historically based but not accurate is Dynasty Warriors, I didn't play dynasty warriors for its historical accuracy about Ancient China and the 3 Kingdoms, but because it was cool as fuck and had some awesome game mechanics back when people were playing on ps2 and xbox.

    I ALWAYS loved the scene where Damocles/Marius is so CONSUMED with rage and hatred towards Nero for murdering his family and leading to Rome's potential collapse that you can hear it in his voice and the way he moves. No wonder Nero calls Damocles a demon at the beginning of the game. He's *TERRIFIED* and *SHOULD BE.* You can tell that Nero is also terrified, yelling hurriedly and terrified for someone to kill Damocles as soon as possible, even making sure that the Praetorian Guard search the city and what-not to make sure Damocles does die. This scene sold me the game when I saw it on youtube and I just HAD to try it out when I was able to. And I am so glad to be able to play it, and it's a genuinely fun game to play every now and then.

      iirc the gladiator was recruited as part of a murder plot that only came about because Commodus became extremely paranoid about being assassinated and started murdering anyone who criticized him, it was a recurring thing with Roman Emperors for this to happen.

      Mini Tumid The same can be said about God Of War but unless the devs actually said that the game was historically accurate it doesn't actually matter. Forgive me for my ignorance but I don't actually care enough about the game to research about it, the only reason I'm here is because this randomly popped up in my suggestion box, so take this with a pinch of salt if I was wrong, will ya?

    The real question is why does the Commoduses shield change from having like 9 pearls on it to only 1? 1:53 - 3:19 😂
    The game is really epic anyway

    So the emperor allowed his son and greatest general to fight in the coliseum and didn't think there was a risk of him dying

      doesn't deserve to be called the "greatest general" if he can't survive in the colleseum.

      William Haines that’s why he let him fight. If he put in a common soldier and bet money him he would more than likely lose, but if he put the most well trained soldier he had he would a higher chance of winning. He also rigged the fight with the poison and the other polemarchs helping commodus

    Even though this is literally not how anything worked in Rome, it's wonderfully directed. Just like Gladiator.

      Rylan Nixon Damocles can be seen as a "title" the character takes upon the title of Damocles and does what a "Damocles" is destined to do.
