Germany is invading the neighbors; then they invade the neighbors' neighbors; then the neighbors' neighbors' neighbors, who happened to be Britain, said "Holy shit!" Then America started helping Britain, because they're good friends and started not helping Japan because they're friends and their friends are not friends. Plus their planning on invading the entire ocean.
god man when this game came out i loved it so much i actually learned a few things from it and made me love ww1 the ending made me feel sad i played this game nonstop
I am french and i love this video (and jon tron generally) i just wanna say that the people aren't talking french but more like sims if you wonder (except the moment the guy says "vive la France") X)
"After the assassination of Prince Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, The German Empire declares war on Russia." There is so much wrong with this, it's not even funny.
@Hadley Souther Well I have to disagree on the point of Wilhelm being incompetent: Wilhelm didn´t support austria really as much as you believe, more it is depicted like this in history. Actually austro-hunagry urged germany with the alliance, as you can see with the interactions of the german high command and the austrian. Furthermore was Wilhelm overruled before the war, he didn´t really want a war but was, due to a lack of power and militaries being united in the intention, overruled and suppressed. The alliances are often seen as the main cause, for the spark igniting them could have been any reason. Once the alliance mechanism was triggered, there was nothing to stop it and that is the point. I criticize the game for portraing the germans as the "bad guys" again, even from the perspective of the germans, making a differentiation between the main character and showing them as "war hungry". I dislike this over-simplification and twisted narrative, which is based on arguments, which actually don´t really hold up anymore with the newset research on the matter.
i like how the people commenting don't even seem to notice you're the kaiser, the faction leader & obviously someone who would argue about the depiction of prussia but youre wrong, the assassination of the archduke by the black hand is universally seen as the catalyst that kicked it off & forced all the alliances into a war. the ottomans were pretty shit after a few centuries, but granted the austrians/prussians were honorable & respectable typically, a far cry from the later nazis, & some of the generals from that time held onto those aspects & had disdain for hitler but were so conditioned to follow the commands. the entente had to take those guys out, but granted britain definitely wanted to capitalize on redrawing ottoman territory to make modern Iraq have basically all the oil in it for later conquering haha, just took us a century to take advantage of that. but the video is edited, there could be more historical background fleshing it out. its not really one sided at all, if youre depicting a conflict from the french pov, thats going to be what it shows. its accepted as historical fact. i mean ironically, the russian royal family that was overthrown were related to the british family, as well as german, etc, it was all intertwined & just a power play. i mean the kaiser was queen victorias grandson, the british royal family is tecnically of german descent as the saxe cobergs (sic) but it was the kaisers rash support of austria hungary that led to them being sucked into the war, he was indecisive & innefective as a war leader, & the german high command took over until the peace process when they booted him entirely

I played this game without prior expectations and I just found it tedious. The puzzles are easy, the characters are simple, and the art style neutralizes any gravity the story attempts to convey. It's really surprising that this game got such a positive reception.
ロックマン thing about the art style though is that it's something pretty new. it's interesting and fun to see something different than all the 3D modern game stuff and instead seeing a side scroller game with an in my opinion beautiful art style. the story was actually pretty interesting if you took some time to focus on it and read into it and sure, most of the puzzles were easy, but they're not the main focus of the game.
