Out of all the historical inaccuracies of the game, one of the few historical facts that they captured accurately is just how useless the Praetorians really were against actual soldiers.

[@hugovenegas6509]

I thought only the best were allowed to be praetorian's? I only know that they were involved in every coup that about it

[@HelloThere-bj9rw]

Really?

[@Killzoneguy117]

@@hugovenegas6509 Initially, yeah, they were made up of Caesar's favorite legions which had joined up with Octavian during the Second Triumvirate. Later on, Praetorians would be recruited directly from the Roman Patrician class. However, during the reign of Tiberius, the Praetorians amassed considerable political power and economic influence. This made them incredibly wealthy, but their wealth combined with their safe and comfortable posting in Rome let them live deeply pampered and comfortable lives. They may have trained, but by the end of the 2nd Century, most of them were rarely if ever deployed in actual combat. Comparatively, the Legions were often deployed to guard the Empire's frontiers and thus faced constant war and military actions, making regular legionaries seasoned, experienced veterans. The Praetorians were sometimes deployed to the frontiers, often times with the Emperor or someone else of note, but never for any extended posting, unlike the Legions which were often in a given area for years. The few times the Praetorians went up against actual Roman Legionaries, they were absolutely demolished. More often than not, the Praetorians would seek to control the succession so as to avoid large scale bloodshed, and when a rival candidate did raise legions against the current Emperor, the Praetorians would often abandon the current Emperor and throw in with the contender if it looked like that contender was going to win. One of the few times they picked the wrong side was when they backed Didius Julianus against Septimius Severus during the Year of the Five Emperors in 193 AD. The Praetorians met Severus's legions in open battle, where they were repeatedly pushed back across Italy by the superior experience of the Roman legionaries. In the end, the Praetorians abandoned Julianus after it was clear that they simply could not match Severus's forces and Severus was proclaimed Emperor. Severus actually ended up disbanding the current Praetorians and replacing them with his own legionaries who were appointed as the new Praetorian Guard. Subsequent Emperors during the 3rd Century would often supplement the Praetorians with their own legions, who were often more loyal to their emperors than the Praetorians. Diocletian for example added two new bodyguard units, the Jovianii and Herculanii, drawn from two of his favorite legions, Legio V Iovia and Legio VI Herculia. The biggest episode of the Praetorian Guard's inferiority is when they backed the Tetrarch Emperor Maxentius against Constantine in the early 4th Century. At the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312 AD, Constantine's legions from Britannia and Gaul faced off against Maxentius's Praetorian Guard. Constantine triumphed, utterly destroyed the Praetorian Guard, killing Maxentius and the Praetorian Prefect and then disbanding the Praetorian Guard completely after assuming command of Maxentius's portion of the Tetrarchy. After that, the role of guarding the Emperor was given to the Herculanii and Jovianii and the newly formed Scholae Palatinae (Literally Palatine Schools). These units would guard Roman Emperors both in the Eastern and Western Roman Empires. They would survive the dissolution of the Western Roman Empire and continue to protect Emperors in the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. By the Middle Ages, the Roman bodyguards were again reformed into the Varangian Guard. The Varangians were recruited from Vikings from Scandinavia and Rus from the Volga (basically the ancestors of modern day Russians and Ukrainians. The Rus themselves were Vikings which had settled in Eastern Europe). Later on, the Varangians would be made up of Anglo-Saxons from England and Normans from Normandy and Sicily. Because of their lack of political connections in Constantinople, they would continue to guard the Byzantine Emperors up to the Fall of the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453. None of this is to say that the Praetorian Guard were incompetent or incapable of fighting. They were still renowned soldiers, but their lofty position in Rome meant that they lacked combat experience and their leaderships lacked tactical thinking that the legions and their commanders from the Roman frontier possessed. This put them at a huge disadvantage against actual legionaries.

Facts

[@pklo0987]

Even after all this time the graphics of this game easily rival some of the titles releasing today. Crazy. Really wish this game could have had sequel and some expanded gameplay options as well. So much potential in this time period no ones tapped into.

[@tacticalnuke1861]

B Smith of course god of war looks better this game was being developed before the xbox one and the ps4 even came out

[@eduardob6981]

The cutscenes' character models look better than the ones used during combat, though (including Marius's). But yeah, a couple of them really look almost photorealistic, like that... oracle? (can't really remember what she was) who appears near the end of the game

[@boxingboxingboxing99]

This game is nearly a decade old and still holds up incredibly.

@B Smith aculy they would be friends they were both betrayed lost their family and such. So they would be great friends

[@ainzooalgownoverlord8913]

@B Smith aculy Damocles in Greek lore is the spirt of vengeance and god of vengeance. But yeah your right kratos would destroy him. But they lost every thing but one aculy came back as the God of vengeance even though he died he is still a god.

[@akshatpaul2123]

how to tell if a game was made to look pretty: just when the gameplay gets interesting, it transitions to the cutscene

[@jesuisFORTIO]

[@titomagneto9271]

its gorgeous, and the story seems great, but legit this gameplay//fighting style looks sorta shit. idk if i should hate the player or the game. looks repetitive as shit, and like you're forced to take hits. dodging and blocking doesn't seem that effective, but being able to just absorb damage with a big 'ol health bar ain't fun either

[@Chu8rock]

This Game Was Ahead Of Its Time, Better Than Halo: Infinite Graphics.

[@ASSASSIN19923]

and only exclusive worth to play

[@StoveToTheFace]

I loved this game, got it on when it came out. Way too many haters for no reason, it's a "tech demo" and? It was great and that's why it still stands up today. I don't care if a games short as long as I enjoy it, I would rather have top a top notch 8-10 hour game then a 80+ hour fetch quest game that I bored with. Some of the best games I have played have been short games.

[@MrCooper98]

The fact this game was released in 2013 it’s way ahead of its time

[@TheAilmam]

It's q hardware showcase anyway, but still... Back when devs werent lazy and cash hungry

[@theterrorofdimensions1326]

I played this game, and it's definitely worth the buy. Also, I never knew this until I stumbled upon it, but you can parry the red (or "dodge away") attacks if you time it right. It's just so short a window, and other than once in the game near the start, you're never told about this.

[@damienluedtke9276]

This game is so underrated, it was and still is legendary status.

[@Rednova08]

8:12 it was so satisfying to see this rich kid with a god complex see taken down a peg. Well, he was more taken down a head but you kno what I mean. Also: 8:35 "I. AM. DAMOCLES!" "I. AM. VENGEANCE!" "YOU. ARE. NEXT!!!!" I finally got the game on pc the other day and these words and this scene will forever go down as one of the best moments and quotes in all of gaming history for me. Chill. Especially when he threatens Nero.

[@Chabarnacle]

Remember that Damocles is the only one affected by Commodus' poison gas therefore all the spectators see for 10 minutes straight is him just randomly swinging his sword around and pretending to get hit

[@BiohazardCrow]

Funny thing is by this time no romans high court son (or any family member of a noble class or senate class) were allowed to figth in the arena like gladiators. Except if it was a criminal or a "enemy of the state" then yes.

[@RaplaplaNews]

+DemonicGoat Well I believe Commodus actually did fight as a Gladiator, though it was looked down upon. Not saying Ryse is going for accuracy though having Commodus be the son of Nero.

[@BiohazardCrow]

+Matthew Ahern “Lawful Paladin” This battle was upon for beeing more accurate in the period of "maddnes" of the emperor Caligula. He really like nonsense violence.

[@boomidctv6017]

this game wasnt meant to be historically accurate

[@Shagon89]

As I recall, there were occasions, when aristocrats also fought as Gladiators in the arena, in disguise, of course :)

[@laitilulu]

+Charles Hastings, The battles were rigged. The gladiators who fought Commodus would have been wounded before the battle, while Commodus had the best gear money could buy
