I love the cinematic style of games from this era

when one says for the prophecy for nero though it can be interapted in many ways to fall on one's sword. it can mean suicided but it also can be in this fashion shown here.

The guys who devveloped the game came to my university back in the day. They've said they weren't able to realize their true ambitions because of the producers iirc.

This is a game which was hated by many before but then loved by everyone

So nice for the guards to come at him one by one instead of ganging up on him

[@marshallallen2474]

He still would’ve beat their asses

[@kiryokazooma]
