There are nine other Empire of Sin bosses inspired by real-life racketeers, some of which bear their actual names. Some are works of fiction created by the developers, but most are based on real syndicate leaders in Chicago, New York, and beyond. 1 in the real Chicago, but he's just one of 15 equally cunning bosses in Empire of Sin, which is on Game Pass now.

His syndicate orchestrated the infamous Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, in which seven members of a rival gang were executed. Capone rose to prominence commercially and politically through bootlegging and a host of other rackets throughout Chicago. And that's before you realize this is a narrative heavy game with storylines for each.Al Capone is by far the most famous gangster to appear in Empire of Sin and may be the most famous criminal of the Prohibition era. So right off the bat your comparison is invalid. You have 14 different bosses to choose from in this, which is 13 more commanders than Xcom lets you pick from. Xcom doesn't let you customize the Commander (and that's who you play as) or Bradford (and that's who does most of the talking and commands your staff) Choose your words more carefully next time. Grow up kid, you aren't doing yourself any favors by being defensive. You got called out on it and then backpedaled and now blame me for your previous false statement? You pigeonholed yourself and then got angry at me for assuming you were telling the truth.
You're the one that stated you "only play games that let you customize" not me. It's pretty stupid to establish yourself by making such a drastic claim if it isn't factual. Its pretty stupid to assume what kind of gamer I am based on one sentence. You really should think next time before you post such a foolish response. Which really comes down to, "Can I care about the character/s that I am playing as?" Once again, it depends on game specifics and I judge each and every game individually. But there are games like Assassin's Creed (Odyssey and Valhalla) and Horizon Zero Dawn where you play as a set character that I love playing. Wasteland 3 was a good experience for me because I was able to create 4 members of my squad.
Even if it's just henchmen or gangsters, that would probably be enough. Having said that, this game looks very XCOM-ish, therefore I need to have a hand in creating some element of the characters I am controlling. Its not an absolute, that is just ridiculous. And there are games where I there's not any kind of customization or very little that I still enjoy playing. Something as little as changing the name of my character or the clothes or hairstyle CAN be enough for me to care I go off a game by game basis and don't pigeon-hole anything. It depends on the type of game that it is and the purpose of THAT game and the character/s that I am playing as. I guess you don't play very many games, customization is rare and exists only in very niche genres I have a hard time doing that with "pre-mades".
I am weird but I need to feel connected to my characters in order to be invested and get into the game. Originally posted by Esoteric:No character creator or in depth customization = no buy for me. There's a lot of aspects of this game that people are going to question simply because it's very much a period piece and not an amalgamation of just the gangster concept. The rarity or lack of facial hair in the game is historically accurate, also seeing as how half the mob bosses in game are based on real people, it's not unexpected that they be shown based on what pictures of them we have available (all typically clean shaven) Most men sported a clean shaven face in the 1920’s This might give you some idea of what I'm talking about: The player, acting through their boss character, must decide and direct the actions of their underlings to take over rival businesses such as clubs and brothels. The 1920's in particular however was noted as "the Gatsby look" You don't see the big beards return until the 60's and 70's and then for whatever reason 80's to now has been a big mix of everything as world wide media gives us a larger view into styles from around the world and multiple trends can run in parallels with different groups. By the 30's, 40's and 50's you see smaller more meticulously trimmed styles come back into fashion.
If you follow the history of facial hair there had been decades prior where various large beards and mustaches had been popular, then it kind of reverted to the simple clean look at the start of the 20's. It had fallen out of fashion at the time. Originally posted by YakuzaDiscoMan:None of the bosses even have facial hair, lol.įacial hair wasn't common for the rich or those who wanted to appear rich in the 1920's.
