What gives? it's easily the most kino time period in history. Knights with guns, that's like double-cool.

With Crystal Dynamics and Ubisoft being dead military stealth action shooters are over. You're going to get Souls faggotry, live service and gacha trash and you're going to like it.

Eu 4.
Total war Shogun 2 fall of the samurai if you count it as pike and shot

>>714477859 (OP)
that's what total warhammer is for, soften up the enemy line with mortars and then charge in with knights

>>714477859 (OP)
most fantasy is based on the early modern period, they just have no guns

>>714477859 (OP)
There's a handful, mostly strategy games, some RPGs, a few Assassin's Creeds.
Normies see "knights with guns" and kind of lose their minds in a negative way unfortunately.

>>714477859 (OP)
Knights with guns is hard to make because the games aren't mechanically in depth enough for the tactics and change of flow for that.
Instead of trying to get the middle ground, which will always have complaints, they hyper focus on the two opposites.

Guns changed warfare slowly as different tactics was tried, tested, failed and succeeded. Games aren't fluid enough for that to be fun, engaging or accurate.

Idgi. Does it not compute or what?

It doesn't because bow fafs are a cancer

>>714480579
Normies think there was a massive seperation between knights and guns even though they co-existed for like 200 years, so they'll say it "breaks their immersion"
You also have a lot of pushback from """purists"""" like >>714480974 who think all medieval stuff should be two guys with longswords dueling rather than including all the other weapons (including ranged weapons) of the period. People hate on archers in Mount and Blade/Chiv/Mordhau etc for this reason. Guns add the same annoyance but worse as they are closer range and higher damage.
So you end up allienating normies and the hardcore making the setting a bit risky to work in.

early modern is when everything became cringe

I guess vermintide also scratches that itch a bit

>>714482019
Shitty picture. The idea that closed helmets were the norm in high middle ages or that they didn't exist at all in early modern periods is just a shitty stereotype

>>714482019
1610 with 1250 clothes

Cossacks is pretty cool

What is the early modern age?
Is that like pirates of the carribean?

>>714484895
yeah I should play that.
>>714484956
>pirates of the carribean
that's the tail end of it yeah
but the main "knights with guns" aesthetic is from roughly late 15th century to late 17th century
the reformation, discovery of america, end of feudalism, centralization of the state, new political thought etc. etc.
technologically there's early firearms but they weren't op yet. armour was just made thicker to counter firearms. They had bulletproof armour, that's were the name comes from; they would literally "bullet prove" pieces of armour by shooting at them with pistols before selling them
