To be absolutely fair, if there ever was a historical figure who could/would build a rail gun for shooting werewolves: it would most certainly have been Nikola Tesla.
If he wasn't in an eternal pissing contest with Thomas Edison(who for some reason has a lion's head, and a chest blaster like he's some kind of super robot).
Dude, I just found out Hitler didn't actually have a mech suit and wasn't melted into man jam by a sole American soldier. I think anything's possible now
Ironically, that wasn't the developers intent, that was an issue with the War Tendency Scale. They put him at a one, and when he goes to Democracy, he gets -2. This means that -1, an imaginary number in programming was his value. This flowed back to the top to solve the error. This meant Ghandi had a 255.... out of ten. So that liberty was actually just game developers not thinking about the consequences of what might happen, then everyone loving it so it was kept in as a joke.
@@Forestxavier20 yes, that was in first Civ from early ninetees, but why is still a homicidal world conquering maniac 5 sequels later? By now, it must be an intention, sort of running joke
Nuke-happy Ghandi from the Civilization games. In the first game, a computer bug made Ghandi's AI start at max pacifistic then roll over to max warmongering, leading him to nuke everything and everyone. It is now an in-joke that they have run with.
But that's historically accurate. Everyone knows that Gandhi was killed by an anti-nuclear weapons activist who disliked the fact that Gandhi's words were backed by nuclear weapons.
That's not quite true. Computers can use negative numbers. The issue lays with the type of integer they stored the number in called a pos int or, more accurately in c, an unsigned integer. That acts exactly as you said, it instead cannot go negative and just underflowed back to the maximum value.

What's wrong with Napoleon's accent? If games have taught me anything, it's that almost every culture used modern British English accents until about 1915. The only ones that didn't were the Old West, the American Civil War era, and Dunwall.

Yeah, that depiction of Nero in Ryse was abysmal. Everyone knows that Nero was actually a blonde girl who wore red dresses with see-through fronts, fought using a flaming sword, and had a propensity for saying "umu".
The depictions of Rasputin in various games certainly leaves a lot to be desired, not least the depiction in Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army where Rasputin is a devil summoning cyborg sent from the future to an alternate 1931 Tokyo which protects itself with an squad of gigantic matryoshka dolls.
4:55 We absolutely did. The palice was going to be called the "Domus Aurea", literally "Golden House". If the name is any indication, it was gonna be a REALLY good palice. Also, to give you a sense of the scale of the project; the Flavic Amphitheatre, a.k.a. the Colosseum was built on what was to be the GARDEN POND of the Domus Aurea.
Whenever the idea of a series taking liberties with historical figures is mentioned, I always think of TYPE-MOON's Fate Franchise... with such things as King Arthur, Nero Claudius, Attila The Hun, Francis Drake and more being women. I could definitely list more liberties taken but I'd be here forever if I did.
Sorry, was Tim Curry in Red Alert 3? I must have missed him between the scenes starring Gemma Atkinson, Gemma Atkinson, Ivana Milicevic and, you know, Gemma Atkinson... :p
The cast of the zombie maps Five and Call of the Dead from Call of Duty Black Ops 1 is pretty inaccurate. I don't think JFK and Castro ever fought zombies in the Pentagon. And I don't think George Romero has ever been a giant zombie, forcing Robert Englund, Michael Rooker, Sarah Michel Geller, and Danny Trejo to fight him.
As much as I love these games, both Dynasty Warriors and Sengoku Basara are *beyond* historically inaccurate. Let me just put it this way: I don't remember the real Date Masamune wielding six katanas like Wolverine claws during the days of feudal Japan. Though if he did, learning about Japanese history would be that much more interesting.
How about the alternative? Video Game portrayals that the real ones may have actually really liked? Shadow Hearts was pretty kind to Mata Hari, turning her into a savvy and competent lady James Bond, and the Romanovs turned out to be pretty decent chaps.
order 1886 needs to be wiped from history, period. there wasnt a single damn thing about that game that was good in any way. cliched characters, plots, over-used steampunk garbage tech and even going so far as to re-use the intro-boss fight as the final-boss fight is grounds for banishment.
Gotta love Leonardo Da Vinci decoding ancient encrypted texts that no one else was able to read in literally 5 seconds, by saying, "I see, this goes here, and we move this up... It's done!". You'd think that by the thirtieth Codex Page, Ezio would have learned how to decode it too. Not to mention that he can easily read it when it's on the wall at Mario's office, even though Leonardo simply reads the pages and mumbles, making no change at all. But hey, I guess it takes a genius to do it, not a mass murderer... What do you mean Ezio didn't kill civilians? I bought the game, I have the right to kill whoever the hell I want to.
In addition to Eternal Sonata, Chopin also appears in Frederic - Resurrection of music, a guitar hero style rhythm game with remixes of his work in various styles such as reggae as he/you battle the dark forces of modern music mediocrity.
No mention of Dynasty Warriors? The game based on a game based on a novel based on the real life events of Three Kingdoms era China? Pretty sure the later dynasties wasn't founded on little girls and old men throwing Spirit Bombs at each other. You telling me a woman armed with a harp can take out a whole platoon of trained soldier by herself?

What about Sir Francis Drake from the Uncharted series? I'm sure he was a super cool dude but I'm also pretty sure he was never a secret agent tasked with finding the mythical city of Ubar to recover a psychedelic super drug for Queen Elizabeth who planned on using it for total world domination, then getting trapped on a Panamanian island after going rogue and dying at the hands of wall crawling Spanish zombies.

doesnt have to be new, just a continuation from the old 1. Why fight in heaven and whats next? i would love to know without have to learn a different language just to read Dantes books
Virtually everything about the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors doesn't count I suppose? No to light sabers, generals shooting beams of destruction and anger, and taking down several hundred men solo in less than so much as 10 minutes?
Kurosawa Shirou Unfeasible it may be, atleast the bow gun is an WEAPON. How the fuck do you murder your way through swaths of soldiers with a FLUTE!? A flute isn't a weapon! At best it's something girls use at band camp! >_>
Bro, the flute can be used as a weapon if perfected enough. You can just destroy any soldier hearing along with yours. If you are already deaf, that makes you a AoE death machine with the more OP range in medical history with some sick swagger on the battlefield when men fall to their knees all around you. Because the pain would be immense to hear a note so high pitched your ears bleed.
I'll have you know the Hamilton references put a big dumb smile on my face, thank you very much! Also kudos for including Eternal Sonata. That game introduced me to Chopin back in the day (can you tell I'm a music nerd yet?).
Birdman Eags that didn't use any real people though sure the whole elder scrolls series was based partly on Scandinavian countries (and a little Arabian and Roman...) but no actual famous people are in it it's all fantasy
The final skirmish was extremely easy to take damage on before any patches. As you approached the fort, the enemies would be ready to fire. As someone who pre-ordered and spent a week of vacation time dedicated to completing and playing MP, I spent more time trying to full synch that than I did in the online mode.
I haven't read the Divine Comedy myself but I'm pretty sure that Dante Alighieri in the epic wasn't entirely accurate to Dante Alighieri in real life, so I'm not sure Dante's Inferno really counts. The epic itself, not just the game, was just about Dante's vision of Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, but I highly doubt he actually traveled there and was guided by the spirit of Roman poet Virgil to rescue his love from the Devil while meeting King Midas, Socrates, and many others along the way.
Nicolas Betzios I meant vision as in idea (I have a bad habit of using words fancier than they need to be and it kind obscures what I mean). I know he only does it in the book, and that's my point - the game is accurate considering Dante was based on the character that Alighieri made. Book Dante is no more accurate than game Dante, which makes the point invalid.
drearyghost13 The game is not at all accurate to the depiction of either the book or even Dante himself. I mean geez, even Disney's Frozen is closer to it's source material. But you are aware that the book is literally *self insert* fiction, right? Meaning book Dante was just an exaggerated version of real Dante. The video game paints him as this rugged flawed hero and a Templar fighting in (one of the) Crusades, who does awful things because he thinks the Church forgives all his sins. I sincerely doubt Dante fought in the Crusades. I don't even think he was involved in the war going on around his neighborhood at the time. Maybe he was, I don't know. But in the book he wanders around hero worshiping his idol Virgil and mocking all his enemies. Including Popes he dislikes. But he's no Templar, he's not even a hero. He just sort of relies on Virgil to hold his hand and he faints a lot. So the point stands, whilst the book's events are fictional, it does fairly accurately portray Dante as he was in real life. A kind of nerdy guy with a love of literature, who also seemed to idolize the classical poets. The video game, on the other hand, does not.
Someone random Thank you, I didn't have the time to respond proprerly. PS: Dante was indeed not a warrior but he did participate in the battle of Campaldino in 1289.
Someone random I am very aware that it's self insert fiction. Oxbox are listing Dante's Inferno as a game in which the characters are historically inaccurate, my point is literally just that that's wrong because The Divine Comedy is self insert fiction (and they never mentioned the other characters based on real life people). We are more or less agreeing on the same point - I'd argue Dante's Inferno is an inaccurate representation of The Divine Comedy, not Dante Alighieri himself, so it's not HISTORICALLY inaccurate.
Still a game, since you still have to make choices which determine life/death, and success/failure. But if you REALLY can't count VN's as games, Nero, the playable Saber in Fate/Extra, Fate/Unlimited Codes, and Fate/Unlimited Codes CCC, is Genderbent Emperor Nero, and they're action/RPG/fighting games.

Elly Gershovich That one I actually believe he discovered, but since the records destroyed, and Tesla was starting to suffer from some form of dementia, the technology was forgotten and we have not yet rediscovered it.... Yet. Sadly, this does happen from time to time. Roman underwater concrete recipe was only rediscovered in the 19th century.
It should be noted that the meteorite that struck Siberia in the early 20th century did so the same year Tesla was working on one of his newer, yet ultimately unfinished, inventions though I forget which. Though it's not proof, some people point to the fact that there is no crater, or none they can see, as evidence that it was really Tesla's accidental death ray that struck Siberia. On the other hand there is a town in Germany that lives in a crater and for years people were trying to figure out where one particular meteorite had struck without knowing people were living in it, so it is very possible people are overlooking the impact site.

doesnt have to be new, just a continuation from the old 1. Why fight in heaven and whats next? i would love to know without have to learn a different language just to read Dantes books
So dantes purgatorio
First time I've ever seen Eternal Sonata featured in a list. I remember LOVING that game.
Is it weird that I was expecting Assassin' Creed the second I read the title of the video?
Marco Mora it's not weird. It's common sense.
Ha ha, true... A descent series non-the less.
Marco Mora A great series
Yeah, my favorite, I just thought if I wrote that instead I'd get tons of butt-hurt hate.
***** English
No Hamilton fans Ellen? I'm not gonna throw away my shot to comment about that!
Virtually everything about the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors doesn't count I suppose? No to light sabers, generals shooting beams of destruction and anger, and taking down several hundred men solo in less than so much as 10 minutes?
Correction to my last statement: taking down several hundred men in less than so much as 10 minutes with a FLUTE
Or with a bow gun that can fires lots of arrows in a second like a machine gun
Kurosawa Shirou Unfeasible it may be, atleast the bow gun is an WEAPON. How the fuck do you murder your way through swaths of soldiers with a FLUTE!? A flute isn't a weapon! At best it's something girls use at band camp! >_>
Bro, the flute can be used as a weapon if perfected enough. You can just destroy any soldier hearing along with yours. If you are already deaf, that makes you a AoE death machine with the more OP range in medical history with some sick swagger on the battlefield when men fall to their knees all around you. Because the pain would be immense to hear a note so high pitched your ears bleed.
Clearly you have never played as a bard.
I'll have you know the Hamilton references put a big dumb smile on my face, thank you very much!
Also kudos for including Eternal Sonata. That game introduced me to Chopin back in the day (can you tell I'm a music nerd yet?).
I laughed so hard when I saw all those Assassin's Creed games in the spoilers.
The Hamilton reference was unexpected, but very appreciated lol
Don't worry, Ellen; I laughed. And I'm glad you made it to the studio where it happens.
Thanks OX. Now I have the entire Hamilton Soundtrack stuck in my head again. I'm not complaining. I am actually thanking you.
What, no Onimusha series? Nobunaga Oda is literally a demon lord in that series.
And Jean Reno travels through time!
silentzorah Nobunaga is fucking everywhere in Japanese games and manga/anime. It's quite hilarious actually.
I remember. They also portrayed Totoyomi as his sniveling aide.
silentzorah Pretty sure Nobunaga is featured as a demon lord in several different games/shows/stuff.
SPACE!!!
I'd say they took some historic liberties with dragonborn
Birdman Eags that didn't use any real people though
sure the whole elder scrolls series was based partly on Scandinavian countries (and a little Arabian and Roman...)
but no actual famous people are in it
it's all fantasy
marc Stuart idk man I'm pretty sure it's historical ;)
+marc Stuart woosh
marc Stuart
The joke
--------------->
Your head
Birdman Eags well yeah
It's clearly a joke..
But it also wouldn't work on the list because he never even existed
We did hear Nero's side, he opened up his home to house those displaced by the fire, and was miles away when the fire happened.
Also, Why does everyone complain about the Tank Mission? I never once had a problem maneuvering the Machine.
The final skirmish was extremely easy to take damage on before any patches. As you approached the fort, the enemies would be ready to fire. As someone who pre-ordered and spent a week of vacation time dedicated to completing and playing MP, I spent more time trying to full synch that than I did in the online mode.
I loved the Napoleon: Total War bit at the beginning. And I completely agree with historical figures in Assassin’s Creed.
...is the red thread Andy's using to sew himself up from Yarny?
Saw Ellen on the Tomska vid! Love you guys!
I haven't read the Divine Comedy myself but I'm pretty sure that Dante Alighieri in the epic wasn't entirely accurate to Dante Alighieri in real life, so I'm not sure Dante's Inferno really counts. The epic itself, not just the game, was just about Dante's vision of Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso, but I highly doubt he actually traveled there and was guided by the spirit of Roman poet Virgil to rescue his love from the Devil while meeting King Midas, Socrates, and many others along the way.
He didn't go in real life of course, but in the book he does, he's there, it's not a vision.
Nicolas Betzios I meant vision as in idea (I have a bad habit of using words fancier than they need to be and it kind obscures what I mean). I know he only does it in the book, and that's my point - the game is accurate considering Dante was based on the character that Alighieri made. Book Dante is no more accurate than game Dante, which makes the point invalid.
drearyghost13 The game is not at all accurate to the depiction of either the book or even Dante himself. I mean geez, even Disney's Frozen is closer to it's source material.
But you are aware that the book is literally *self insert* fiction, right?
Meaning book Dante was just an exaggerated version of real Dante. The video game paints him as this rugged flawed hero and a Templar fighting in (one of the) Crusades, who does awful things because he thinks the Church forgives all his sins. I sincerely doubt Dante fought in the Crusades. I don't even think he was involved in the war going on around his neighborhood at the time. Maybe he was, I don't know.
But in the book he wanders around hero worshiping his idol Virgil and mocking all his enemies. Including Popes he dislikes. But he's no Templar, he's not even a hero. He just sort of relies on Virgil to hold his hand and he faints a lot.
So the point stands, whilst the book's events are fictional, it does fairly accurately portray Dante as he was in real life. A kind of nerdy guy with a love of literature, who also seemed to idolize the classical poets. The video game, on the other hand, does not.
Someone random Thank you, I didn't have the time to respond proprerly.
PS: Dante was indeed not a warrior but he did participate in the battle of Campaldino in 1289.
Someone random I am very aware that it's self insert fiction. Oxbox are listing Dante's Inferno as a game in which the characters are historically inaccurate, my point is literally just that that's wrong because The Divine Comedy is self insert fiction (and they never mentioned the other characters based on real life people). We are more or less agreeing on the same point - I'd argue Dante's Inferno is an inaccurate representation of The Divine Comedy, not Dante Alighieri himself, so it's not HISTORICALLY inaccurate.
Crusader King 2 two word "Sunset Invasion"
Conquer Europe as the Aztec hmm quite the Irony
Last time, I was this early.. there was no Outside Xtra
Dammit, Luke, I've already seen those 2 videos at least 7 times each!! WE NEED MOAR!
OH MY GOD YES. Eternal Sonata on a list. Yes such an amazing fucking game.
Thanks for taking an hour out of my night. I went and binged the Hamilton soundtrack (again) after that one.
i played the crap out of dante inferno! Loved that game
I giggled at the Hamilton lyrics :) Thank you for including them
"SPACE!"
Ok, I'll stop that now....
He was trying so hard not to laugh when he said "space!", lmfao
We also have a genderbent King Arthur in Fate/Grand Order
We've had a Gender-bent Arthur since Fate/Stay Night.
Wolf Helix
Well, yes, but I wouldn't consider VNs as a comparable game standard in this case.
Still a game, since you still have to make choices which determine life/death, and success/failure. But if you REALLY can't count VN's as games, Nero, the playable Saber in Fate/Extra, Fate/Unlimited Codes, and Fate/Unlimited Codes CCC, is Genderbent Emperor Nero, and they're action/RPG/fighting games.
Wolf Helix
I actually don't know much about /Extra and /Unlimited Codes. What consoles are they on?
PSP, I believe.
"sombre stab-aholic Connor" - LOL, Love u Ellen :)
DAT HAMILTON REFERENCE DO LOVED IT
I wonder if I commented this already, but... Fate/Extra series... everything in there. Especially Nero and Archimedes.
lol all that talk about Nero and no mention that he was only 30 when he died, but appeared to be twice that in the game?
ValensBellator I was going to comment that. Good to know that someone else knew that.
@@nicholasfarrell5981 Emperors are portrayed as elderly because they're seen as wise leaders, despite Nero being inept
He also wasn't fat
They also left out his really weird neckbeard.
You should see the Nero from the Nasuverse. Nothing to say, other than "GO CHECK OUT NASUVERSE NERO THIS INSTANT!"
And yet they failed to mention the Fate/ series
Lol that guy at the beginning started to Crack up. "SPACE!"
Soo, every assassins' creed game ever?
Unlike the aforementioned series, your comment is correct
varizza some parts are accurate
Some parts are accurate, sure. Black tea being shipped from India to Britain, horses generally drawing carriages rather than pushing them, Paris being in France ...
For example, the past existed...
varizza actually even thou a lot of the target were killed by assassins. the time and place of death are usually accurate
IT MUST BE NICE
IT MUST BE NIIIIIICE
TO HAVE WASHINGTON ON YOUR SIDE!!
(you've got no idea how happy you just made me at roughly 2 in the morning 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'mma have Hamilton on loop all day tomorrow!)
i had to like the video purely for the hamilton reference/joke
Almost screamed when the Hamilton references were made
Uuuummm...Tesla did invent weapons like the "Death ray"....
so does it really matter if he didn't invent that particular weapon?
BJGvideos Unless the US government took the device and turned it into the first laser (only a bad copy because they had to reverse engineer it) and the basis for the first radar dish.
(lol, but still, just plausible enough to be interesting)
BJGvideos
Most was theoretical and the the Russian government didn't fund his most extravagant ideas
but there are some people that recount his experiments and it's said that he found a way to send electricity over long distances without cords (most of his wacky experiments revolved around electricity)
Elly Gershovich That one I actually believe he discovered, but since the records destroyed, and Tesla was starting to suffer from some form of dementia, the technology was forgotten and we have not yet rediscovered it.... Yet.
Sadly, this does happen from time to time. Roman underwater concrete recipe was only rediscovered in the 19th century.
It should be noted that the meteorite that struck Siberia in the early 20th century did so the same year Tesla was working on one of his newer, yet ultimately unfinished, inventions though I forget which. Though it's not proof, some people point to the fact that there is no crater, or none they can see, as evidence that it was really Tesla's accidental death ray that struck Siberia. On the other hand there is a town in Germany that lives in a crater and for years people were trying to figure out where one particular meteorite had struck without knowing people were living in it, so it is very possible people are overlooking the impact site.
Indirectly he may have. The navy's rail gun ship is supposed to use concepts first formulated by Tesla.
you just made this video 1,000 times better with the hamilton refrences
I thought Jane was the boss! GameSpot claimed she founded outside Xbox!
Drew Snow Of course Jane is. Andy is just Ellen's boss. Jane is true queen.
Drew Snow Well, the actual name of the channel does come off the back of a show that Andy used to do called Inside Xbox. Also, wasn't Mike deputy editor of the Official Xbox 360 Magazine for a while? They're all pretty qualified! :-P
Drew Snow You obviously don't remember when Andy worked with Dan Maher making videos that were published on the Xbox 360 console many years ago, then they roped in Graeme "AceyBongos" to do bits and pieces. And the rest is history.
4:01 now i am just imagining Mike also complaining to Luke about how he prefer the McLaren P1 over the Tesla Model S for electric car.
Hamilton reference FTW!
One of my favorite lines in gaming: "Space!", the other one is "Space, space, spaaaaace... space"
Don't worry, I still love Hamilton.
So this "Fridge with no moving parts"...🤔
Was it just a box with ice in it?? 😏👍
*Mind.... blown....*
"Napoleon wouldn't speak with a british accent"
To be fair if Napoelon were to speak english he would be more likely to do so with a british than american accent...gosh american considering themselves the default is so annoying sometimes
One word:
*inhales deeply*
