Historical correct games?

homefront is pretty accurate, considering the game was made before the events happened, in the game korea leader kim jun un or w,e died, and his son takes over and the son threatens the US with nuclear war,

so far its accurate and has happened in real life just all recently happened.

homefront is a game of prophecy. ill let you know if more of the game becomes accurate. unfortunatly we wont know till were nuked and invaded by korea

I bet youre not even sarcastic

You seem to overstate historical accuracy of AC series. Sure, it's based on real events but rather loosely. There is plenty of stuff that doesn't make sense or is inacurate (like characterisation of people, technology, and some smaller incidental stuff like being able to buy paintings before they were actually painted) but hey, it's fine, it's a video game after all. Just please don't cite the game on a term paper in history at school... Unless you're trying to point out the inaccuracies or show how history can inspire great fiction.

Also, history isn't just a set of dates (dates of death, mostly xD), the idea is to understand why was something happening and the broader implications. And in AC series pretty much everything that ever happened in history turns out to be either assassins' or templars' doing because... science fiction. But of course our actual modern understanding of history is just falsification, right?

They can't even get modern road signs right in Monteriggioni villa (and forget that in reality cars simply can't fit the gate, it's too small). I wouldn't dare to assume anything from past makes sense.

But I agree the series should fit the bill of what OP seems to want rather well. Especially if you dig deeper there is lots of interesting references, you meet historical figures (even if sometimes misrepresented) and take part in historical events (even if, again, they don't quite match the way stuff happened as we understand it).

That was my reply!

+1

+1. This seems reasonable! :)

They never get the Balkans right though :P

These Grand Strategy games are accurate until 10 minutes into the game the all bets are off

+1

+1 But it's not 100% accurate .

yeah and dont forget grand theft auto or aliens vs predator

+1 for addressing my Civilization concerns :)

Well they can't force you to do the exact same steps as history did in a Total War game xD If that was the case you would only need to choose the clan that won historically, and then just follow all the instructions it gives you.

Yeah, Black Dahlia, Micky Cohen..

Not really. There is only short story about the leaders who you play.

Hahaa, these are the games I would NOT recommend if you're trying to learn about real-life history.

+1

Age of Empires 2. FACT.

yeah. sure. :D

sure its not past events and we are a lost colony

"EDIT: I almost forgot: CiV4 (at least the complete edition) has an awesome mod/scenario, that simulates the rise and fall of individual civilizations in their actual timespan. It's very interesting."

It's called "Rhye's and Fall of Civilization", and it is indeed awesome!

Also, +1 on The Cat and the Coup.

I hope not!

I always hate it when campaigns (not just CoD ones) make you do every single job. Hand out ammo? You. Call in a mortar strike? You. Grab the mounted MG to repel enemy hoards? You. Run and plant C4 on the enemy bunkers, then blow them to hell? You.
Grrr xD

lolnope

+11111111111 lold

lol

this comment is just pure awesomeness!

Haha... I wish it were possible to uprate comments, because I don't think I'd ever stop clicking the "+1" button on this one :D

There is nothing historically accurate about any civilization game.
