PC Invasion: There's some hilariously bad drama in Total War: Rome 2 due to female generals, review-bombing, terrible responses, and general outrage culture on the internet. Jason Rodriguez examines what went on in the past few days -- what caused all the outrage and how players reacted, as well as if this whole fiasco was even warranted.
Total War: Rome II launched 10 years ago today, and remains a staple in the grand strategy genre in PC gaming.
From underrated Xbox One launch titles to absolute emperors of the strategy genre, history heads will love these games based around Ancient Rome.
Ryse was awesome, i have no idea why it wasnt recieved well and why we havnt seen another, Rome conquered so much, you could take the action anywhere, and it looked great when xbox one came out, now would be even better.

And while they can be incredibly fun to play, their historical accuracy is often pretty shaky. Don’t get me wrong, in recent years developers have started to work harder to get facts right, but we’re still far from reality. Today we will explore 4 big games that butchered the chapters of history they are based on."
EA tried to market Battlefield 1 as an epic WW1 period piece. It was really just a hybrid of stripped down Battlefield 4 and Star Wars Battlefront (2015) disguised as WW1 shooter.
So you you are telling me historically you cant jump off a ten story building into hay and live.
Sounds like they've added the SJW cancer to the game after people had bought it. A weasel move but not surprising considering the type of "people" they are.
Pretty sure we had this article yesterday.
For those who won't read the article.
Desert Kingdoms/female generals inclusion = March 8
The image from Erick showing only female generals as options = August 10
Creative Assembly’s Ella replying in an unacceptable manner = August 13
Review-bombing = September 23 to 25
You're responding to MONTHS old crap, you've been spurred on by people who are pushing an agenda the same kind that some of you feel Creative Assembly is pushing. It's been stated MULTIPLE times, that the percentages for the factions that can have female generals is very low with the lone exception being Kush at 50%. Romans, Greeks, Carthage are all 0%, as are the Eastern factions. Everyone getting riled up about this now? You're being manipulated, and it's been a fun few days watching people who don't or haven't played Rome 2 in ages getting upset about this.
I must admit at first glace I thought that said female genitals... I'm not exactly proud of that.
Jesus Christ, this stupid shit again?! It is a damn video game!
