6:58 - You know what this reminds me of? Alan Moore's From Hell, wherein he describes his work's take on the true crime genre as "you solve the mystery of the crime by first solving the mystery of the society in which the crime happened." So the story is "about" the Ripper murders, by being "about" Victorian England. You see similiar themes in Disco Eslyium and Pardise Killer, too. The murder is a direct result of the complex sociological factors at play, the way people live and think in this segment of humanity.

Oh do I have a game for you then. Pathologic 2. Tho that concept is elevated and the murder that you start the game with is literally a direct consequence of complex societal problems that plague the town, where trough solving the murder you need to grasp the way to save the society from the collapse (or vice versa), or at least keep it on it's feet trough the collapse. I do not recommend playing the game tho, as it's extremely difficult (unless you like that, personally I've found it to be one of the most engaging games I've ever played, but also one that's extremely frustrating to go trough). Rather, watch the series of it on youtube.

Regarding the non orange carrot. There was a story that the (old 'lowerlands') dutch (after they where a colony of spain for a while) modified or only selected and grew orange carrots to honor the dutch royal family. However, this has been disproven. The first farm grew carrots where apparently either purple or yellow. The dutch however had a big part in making and selling the carrot that was orange, because it liked the dutch climate. You still can buy non orange carrots by the way. Anyways, amazing review, thanks!

I played this game expecting something like the outer wild since they're both time loop mystery. I was a bit disapointed at how underused the time loop aspect was, I though the game would expect me to memorize each NPC's routine so I could learn enough about the city to be able to do that perfect loop where I help everyone in one go. That's not what the game was going for tho, it's more interrested in the setting and characters than utilizing its time loop, but thankfully it's a good story and the character are likable. I recommend the game, just don't buy it expecting a good time loop mystery because it play almost no role in the story.

The structure of having to go around and find out who killed who in a town where everyone has their own personal schemes and vendettas, meanwhile trying to keep the peace seems to be heavily inspired by Pathologic. The way you talk to the townspeople too also reminds me a great deal of it. Pathologic and its rebootquel Pathologic 2 are great games, so it wouldn't surprise me if that's actually where they drew a good amount of game design ideas from.

Played this on Game Pass a couple of days ago, and damn did I love it. Such a great story with more than one "holy shit" moment. I actually kind of preferred this to something like the Outer Wilds when it comes to the time loop mechanic. I never got frustrated having to try a puzzle several times because I died or ran out of time, and once I had done something, I never really had to do it again because I either already had the object in my inventory or I could tell Galerius to do it for me. It kept the story moving forward at a steady pace.

I know where you heard that from (traces back the translation of a Greek word through different translations where it _is_ pederasty) but it isn't actually particularly relevant to the original text as the actual original language is Hebrew and not Koine (Leviticus is a book of religious laws for Jews, duh). The word in Hebrew actually _does_ mean "man" and the traditional reading has pretty much always related it to homosexuality. That said, I'm not an ancient Hebrew scholar and there is a suggestion among scholars that it actually does relate to pederasty as you suggest or even incest.

@@Walpurgisnackt Ah okay, I may have interpreted you wrong in the first place. I am kind of interested in whether people in the first century actually believed those verses had to do with homosexuality though. The verses where people have assumed Paul is mentioning homosexuality are in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy. This gets into interesting territory with the date the game takes place in as 1 year after the Great Fire of Rome places it at 64 AD, which is about 10 years after 1 Corinthians is thought to have been written and _the same year_ Timothy is thought to have been written which is interesting. I think it'd be neat if the fact new texts were being generated at the time these Christians were worshiping was acknowledged in-game.

Which wasn't the case at all for historical Rome. The idea of being gay or straight is a very modern concept and was completely alien to ancient Rome. To a roman you were seen as weak and effeminate if you were on the receiving end of gay sex, especially if you the person penetrating wasn't a citizen, however if you were the one giving the dicking (which included young boys) then you were seen as manly and dominating. homosexuals relationship as equal between citizens was massively frowned upon, but man-boy love was seen as acceptable, pederasty was a common practice for the time. And while persecution by skin color just wasn't a thing, presanction by other criteria very much was, even if you were a freedman or a citizen if you weren't born in Rome or even Italy then you had a hard time getting anywhere without being seen as a secdon class "barbarian". A lot of the writing in this game seems written by "those" kinds of Rome fans, the kind that love to whitewash history and to dog whistle authoritarianism.

@@commandernomad2817 I didn't know about the social dynamics of Roman sexuality, appreciate the info, it's interesting and makes sense for Roman society. I was aware that Rome had minimal consideration to race and largely discriminated upon cultural lines and religious lines, with greater acceptance than any form of discrimination today, but it was such a pointed jab that it's entertaining. Though I've met the kind of people you're talking about and they are a pain. I can't speak for the game's writing having not yet played it, but it makes some sense considering the speaker is supposed to be a devout patriot of Rome who likely is blind to the empire's flaws. Hopefully there are characters that show a more nuanced picture that bring the flaws of Roman society to light as much as the game seems to portray its strengths.

It wasn't easy to get citizenship either. People tend to look at these contemporary social issues and then relate to a historical entity like it's one static period. Ask yourself how much has changed in the American republic over the last 50 years, or even 200 years, and then compare that time scale to the entirety of "Rome" and understand that these ancient cultures were not static or confined to one simple city. It's reductive and false.

Upon playing the game to completion, historical accuracy doesn't seem to be the focus as much as the video would make it seem, it's more of a convenient setting with blending cultures and beliefs than it is supposed to be a walk through an accurate Roman town with accurate first century people. That said, it is a really well realised setting, just, historical accuracy isn't something I'd judge the game it against. I'd put it between Hades and Assassin's Creed in terms of historical emphasis, it's not a core principle of the game. Which might be surprising given the emphasis of the video (To be fair, the developers have encouraged content creators to be on the vague side so it's understandable). It's more important for the game to make you feel like a time traveller than to feel like you're walking through a historical setpiece.

The legal and philosophical debates in the game feel real, because they are real. The whole thing was written by a lawyer with a fascination and lots of reference material to Ancient Rome. He also contacted someone who has been excavating Pompeii for over 20 years, and another expert on ancient Rome from Oxford (who is an avid gamer himself apparently). They were involved in trying to make things as historically accurate as they could within context.

Honestly, I really liked the face animations in this game. For 80% of the game you will be listening to people, and while this could have been done with static images of different emotions like in dating sims, the game gives you a really pleasant experience of watching a character talk to you. You can see their emotions change as they switch topics, sometimes big comical expressions sometimes very subtle. Also I think many of these people are really pretty :3 No of course this is no AAA Last of Us or FF7R quality, it isn't acted, it's probably not even scripted, it's generated. And for that I think it's kinda cool.

Rome didn't really have an official religion though. They had a number of religions, but it was pantheistic and accepted basically any religious beliefs as long as they didn't actively conflict with the existing ones. Christianity's exclusivity was largely why it wasn't accepted, since bad events for the nation were associated with people not worshiping the gods properly. Since the Christians refused to worship any of the Roman gods, they were a target for it. Granted, the persecution wasn't nearly as pervasive as is normally depicted, but it was bad immediately following the Great Fire of Rome. Edit: Also, the homophobia associated with the story of Soddom and Gomorrah is a more modern thing. It's pretty clearly about the law of hospitality, where the people were evil towards visitors and so were punished. Honestly, I get that they're not going to be entirely historically accurate, but it looks like they only have the orthodox/proto-orthodox version of Christianity in a time when there were a lot more. Especially in this context, you could probably have a Gnostic Christian talking about stuff like the evil of physical reality and how special knowledge is the only way for your soul to escape it.

I'm pleasantly surprised that I'm surprised by the fact George put out two videos in such a short time frame. The productivity is spell-binding. Almost makes me want to stop youtube and return to my uni readings.

In hindsigt, it's not at all surprising that the best sponsored blurb ever put in in a YT vid would come from George. And I am of course thrilled to see the noodle shot return.

Watching the Senator explain why he thinks Rome is the best is the most patriotic I’ve literally ever felt and it’s for something that no longer exists. Except in our hearts.

I know there's evidence of painted statues in Rome but isn't there debate about whether it was all statues or not? I feel like that makes the depiction of Roman art in this game probably the best we've seen before.
@Ghi102
@Ghi102 3 жыл бұрын
The historic consensus is that pretty much all of the statues were painted. Statues of important people were especially painted to show off their wealth or their rank (usually indicated by a purple stripe on their toga to indicate that they were patricians)

They definitely painted much more than is painted in the game, and to the extent that it likely would have looked quite garish to our modern sensibilities
