Rome's imperialism and societal values are too similar to ww2 germany (including anti-semitism). Maybe that's why you don't see it very often to have roman society portraited in a good way, even in movies and series. It's more likely to have it as the evil corrupted empire, which was built by slaves, and which the hero is trying to destroy. For example at the end of Assasins Creed Origins, you murder Julius Caesar. I bet that if ubisoft made WW2 Assasins Creed, you'd be murdering Hitler in his bunker at the end.
>at the end of Assasins Creed Origins, you murder Julius Caesar
what the frick? they made some it so some egyptian rando sneaks into the imperial palace and stabs him instead of the senatoral assassination?!
They made it so you brushed against great historical figures many times, but actually offing Big JC like that is just so wrong. It's to drastic a change. I assume this is the new norm, but I never touched touched AC post Syndicate, hence my surprise.

If they wanted to squeeze assassins in there it would have been more tasteful to have the player make sure the assassination happens without interruptions. Distracting the guards, or chasing down some messenger who would warn Caesar, ensuring a conspiracy meeting doesn't fail, etc and then getting to watch it go down from the sidelines.
I bet they made the senators seem like good guys too.
I liked Expeditions and it will scratch the romaboo itch. Combat did get tedious after a while though.
Go read/watch/play some Astérix and Obélix instead.
I just watched Mission Cleopatra a week ago, this may be partly what made me to feel so romantical.
This, then go play Caesar 3.
with the Augustus mod.
There's a tv show called Rome and it's about Rome
This doesn't really relate to video games, but I'm interested. Are there any roman characters?
Unlikely.
Play Rome 2 Divide et Impera
Expeditions: Rome is fantastic, seriously. Go play it.
And then watch Rome.
Ryse: Son of Rome
Shadow of Rome
Nethergate
asscreed bros we got robbed
it never really occured to me, but it really is baffling we never got a game set in (ancient) rome
they sure tickled our balls often enough

They made a Vikings game, despite nazis cribbing more from Nords than Ancient Meds.

It's a fricking AssCreed game, man.

Yes and you are forced to play as a woman. You stab him, and then the senators join in and finish him.
Isn't this a retcon?
Wasn't it established before that Brutus was an assasin and killed Big C?
>retcon
I dont think anyone cares about things like continuity or logic amongst historical revisionists.
>find Brutus's armor and dagger in Brotherhood
>turns out some egyptian chick actually killed Caesar
lame
Reminder Cobson killed romans for breakfast
C*lts have no right to brag about defeating romans, at least Germs eventually did destroy the roman empire.
>I need my fix of Ancient Rome
>society has fallen
Gladius is a gem.
Which way fellow citizens?
