I recently finished darkest of days... there was one thing that bugged me alot about the game. The Germans in ww1 (in this game) had British tanks. There where a few inaccuracies besides that but that was the major one. It didn't make a bit of sense, and it was early in the war that you play in the game 1916 i think... the Germans didn't deploy any tanks till 1918 right near the end of the war and by then it was to late to make a difference. If your going to make a game that involves time travel and historic events at least get them right.
I'm surprised Yahtzee didn't point this out.

Oh man, what a steaming pile of crap. I might be too picky, but the selling point of this game is that you travel through time. That sounds fucking awesome to me, and who doesn't want to stab some rebel traitors in Antitem? As soon as the game starts in the Little Big Horn, DoD shits all over the history books:
* Custer doesn't get killed with an arrow. He gets shot in the goddamned head.
* The guns are completely the fuck wrong, except for the pistol. The army didn't have repeaters, and they didn't have unlimited the fuck ammo for the things.
* The Indians are hilarious. Jesus fucking Christ, there are like three of them with a rifle in the entire map(in reality, more of them had rifles than bows and arrows). Also, all they do is go, "WHOOP WHOOP WHOOOP." LOL RACISM
* This map looks NOTHING like the Little Big Horn. There is no way they visited the place. There is no way even they saw a postcard of Greasy Grass. I sure as shit don't remember all of the trees and boulders there providing cover.
How did they research this thing? Did they just read the back of "They died with their boots on"?
"Yeah, we've got guns, custer, and injuns. GUYS, WE ARE READY TO SHIP THIS THING."

Don't buy this game until they release a patch that makes the game finishable. I for one found a place where I'm killed with no explanation, and since there's plenty of those stupid invisible walls around forcing you to go EXACTLY that way, the game is truly fscked by this bug.
I uninstalled the game out of frustration so I can't specify exactly at which point this happens, but I remember I was escorting the same american guy for (I think) the third time...

If only stupidity could be harnessed as a source of energy, then you could power all of Europe single-handed [sigh]Silva said:
Sorry, I completely agree with you-Yahtzee is a butt. I just thought of that a while ago and haven't had a chance to use it. XD
Jesus, friend, it's a game. What surprises me is that 1) you didn't mention that Custer's army was actually gunned down while running away, and 2) that you don't want to mention why it is that you can fire dozens of laser guided rockets and the Confederate army without anyone batting an eye. Absolute historical accuracy seems kind of moot when you are running around Pompeii with a chaingun, doesn't it?mannertime said:
The sequel should be about purposely fucking up the timeline, but everyone is suffering from stealth game syndrome, dismissing everything even slightly out of the ordinary as large, resourceful rats, So you really have to think of ways to severely fuck up history
o thank goodness
