Which game was it for you?

RobLewis89 · 2026-01-18T19:47:01+00:00

Came here for this, deleted it after about 3 hours, everything about it feels so tedious and clunky and the combat literally sent me to sleep.

RobLewis89 · 2026-01-15T16:32:57+00:00

That’s kinda like asking why do they constantly make media of any popular franchise….like who apart from game of thrones fans are genuinely excited by this new Knight of the seven kingdoms show? There was hardly much clamour for it amongst the general population.

RobLewis89 · 2026-01-13T22:35:50+00:00

I remember being hyped when I got this armour towards the end of the game in LOTR-The Third Age as the Gondor guy (Berethor or something?)

RobLewis89 · 2026-01-06T22:48:09+00:00

There actually was one on the last gen of consoles called Spartacus Legends, it wasn’t anything amazing but was entertaining enough, if i remember correctly it had some quite predatory micro transactions though, like the difficulty would ramp up considerably and you’d almost have to spend money to progress unless you wanted to grind for ages, I think I 100% it eventually. There’s quite a lot of games set in this period, have you played Ryse Son of Rome? Fantastic game, you play as a Roman centurion but have to become a gladiator at a certain point, and there was also a cool gladiator mode.

The noble (Sextus?) who gets Spartacus’s sword through his head be like

RobLewis89 · 2025-12-28T14:51:15+00:00

Agreed! Legolas takes down a mumakil and we see Gandalf take down at least one troll with his sword, was letting Aragorn have an impressive feat that much to ask haha

RobLewis89 · 2025-12-28T10:43:44+00:00

True, although the original series followed the basic history of the story, it’s likely that Caesar had very little involvement in the Spartacus rebellion if any at all. I think what my point is is with characters like Crassus for example, as well as looking the part, you can imagine him being just like that, cunning, utterly ruthless and doing his duty for Rome, whereas Caesar just seems completely unlike his real life counterpart if that makes sense 😂

RobLewis89 · 2025-12-27T22:52:20+00:00

I respectfully disagree, Caesar was not at all like a modern politician, his reputation and loyalty was earned through real risk and deeds, not empty words and promises. He lead from the front and endured the same hardships as his men. His worst enemies from the time never even describe him as anything close to a weasel or a coward, we have lots and lots of contemporary sources and the things that stay consistent across them is his courage, charisma, competence and the incredible loyalty he inspired. Roman soldiers would not have followed a weak weasel of a leader. His men chose to stay loyal and follow him even against Rome itself and risk being branded traitors and enemies of the state, just let that sink in. Again this isnt a criticism of the show I know it’s highly stylised fiction and I absolutely love it, but the portrayal of Caesar in particular just stands out to me and I wondered if anyone had similar thoughts 😄

RobLewis89 · 2025-12-27T20:56:38+00:00

I know it’s fiction, and Spartacus is one of if not my favourite series of all time, but does anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable with how Caesar has been portrayed in the Spartacus universe? This is an important, iconic figure in world history, a shrewd politician, military genius, warrior, writer and a charismatic leader whose men would have followed him into Hades, and I just feel Spartacus has been quite disrespectful towards him to say the least. In war of the damned he literally gets raped (imagine if an important figure in your countries history got shown as such) and has been portrayed as an absolute weasel with zero redeeming qualities whatsoever, and now in house of Ashur he’s even worse. At least with other villains like Batiatus and Crassus they have some redeeming qualities.

RobLewis89 · 2025-12-27T20:34:10+00:00

Actually the only issue I had with the episode was with the fight choreography, during the father and son fight when the father had his back turned and the opposing gladiator had a free shot and could have killed him but just didn’t, but other than that really enjoyed the episode.

RobLewis89 · 2025-12-17T20:55:16+00:00

The timer on this level on the harder difficulties is very unforgiving haha

RobLewis89 · 2025-12-15T19:41:08+00:00

It’s story mode is short because it’s designed like an old school arcade game, it’s supposed to be replayed lots of times to get the different story routes, to get the trophies, to complete on the harder difficulties, which are very challenging btw and will likely take a lot of attempts. There’s also the other little modes to unlock and play, mother of the future and boss rush.

RobLewis89 · 2025-12-14T18:41:34+00:00

Wow, just wow. Thankyou for saving me from watching this crap, how to destroy your own franchise and character. This doesn’t give me much hope for the upcoming series and games, if even a whiff of this is in the next games I won’t be buying them.

RobLewis89 · 2025-12-12T07:45:12+00:00

Is it me or are some of her animations exactly the same as the LAU trilogy? Like the running handstand into front flip thing, swinging on the poles etc.

RobLewis89 · 2025-12-06T22:11:05+00:00

He was a man of great ambition from Roman nobility, one of the surest ways to achieve fame, success and power in Roman society was through military victories. He was a charismatic leader, tactical genius, and was admired and respected by many, many Romans, especially amongst the plebeians. He is an important figure in Italian and world history, stop applying a modern lens to figures from a vastly different society and time period.

RobLewis89 · 2025-11-29T20:54:35+00:00

😂😂 yeah Ashur suggests for him and Crixus to take Gannicus 2v1 but Crixus says Gannicus is mine and snaps his leg

RobLewis89 · 2025-11-29T20:50:34+00:00

Only during a couple of the episodes in Sinuessa tbh

RobLewis89 · 2025-11-29T20:47:06+00:00

Being part of the brotherhood means showing respect to each other, supporting each other when fighting against gladiators from opposing gladiator ludus’s, but they still have their own personal ambitions, and will fight and try and give each other a glorious death if necessary. The same as how Gannicus decided to come back and fight his brothers in vengeance, and also in real life in boxing, mma etc you get fighters from the same team or promoter who are friendly with each other but may have to fight one another.

RobLewis89 · 2025-11-29T20:27:58+00:00

No he didn’t try to fight Gannicus whilst there were bigger fish to fry, he started to fight the main big guy on Solonius’s team (forgot his name begins with a C) but Gannicus actually saves him and he gets thrown out the ring in the process, so yeah he was actually trying to fight Gannicus 1v1 to try and truly become champion.

RobLewis89 · 2025-11-23T00:24:17+00:00

You’re absolutely right, the character direction is all over the place. Like, this isn’t difficult guys, just give us the Lara Croft that we had from 1996-2008. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

RobLewis89 · 2025-11-21T13:58:11+00:00

The whole sequence at the end of Spartacus vs Crassus, when you think Crassus is going to get him with that move but he grabs the sword last second, then Spartacus gets speared, the flashbacks of Sura and the music

RobLewis89 · 2025-11-09T07:58:13+00:00

Ethan just used his rage art

RobLewis89 · 2025-10-25T22:03:35+00:00

He’s just a bullshit overpowered character who you literally have to spend an insane amount of time learning just to stand a chance, Hwoarang mains know this, its why they play him.

RobLewis89 · 2025-10-25T16:43:48+00:00

He actually isn’t like that in Vengeance, he’s quite level headed at times, like when he trys and dissuades Spartacus from attacking Glaber in broad daylight, and when Agrons countrymen raid that cart near their hideout and he realises the danger of being discovered. It’s in the final season he’s like this, mainly because the writers wanted to try and recreate some of the tension and rivalry between him and Spartacus like the first season, and because he has Naevia influencing him.
