So I'm in the process of writing a novel that takes place in Italy, more specifically Florence. I'm no starbucks faggot and am 90% done with it. I will need to revisit it, though, and since I'm going to play video games in my off time no matter what, I'd like it to help me get at least somewhat acquainted with the country I'm writing about. Though, I have to mention I have done the obvious thing and travelled to Florence. Twice.
So, what I'm asking for is either straight up Italian vidya, or vidya that has a quality Italian dub. For reference, I've been playing Bloodborne with Italian dub and it's been a fun experience.
And yes, obviously I know about the only good game in the Asscreed franchise.

Also tell us why you think a videogame will help your novel, or how accurate Asscreed is to Florence unless you want this to turn into a standard "games set in X place" thread.

I don't expect video games to help per se, if only because I'm nearly done. It's just that I'm going to play video games anyway, and I might as well play Italian ones.
As for the accuracy of Asscreed 2, basically the map is fucking tiny and reproduces only the greatest monuments, and not that accurately. The Ponte Vecchio is portrayed as flat when it's got a curve to it, and the Campanile is portrayed as taller than the dome itself. Both are bullshit.

Italy is having its election today. So today might be a good time to pop over to /pol/ and discuss the various political groups, their histories, and the traditions, etc if you arent familiar with them

Literally every time an European country that isn't Britain goes through any major political change there's like a hundred burgers trying to fit in by posting dank memes yet they have to be spoonfed every single damn time to the point where it's faster to just go to local same-language or European boards than trying to get them to understand anything.

Fuck no, it's a terrible game in Unreal Engine.
But it will immerse you in the Italian life more than any other shitty canadian version of Florence.

The mod is Grezzo2, there is also Super Botte e Bamba II Turbo, which is a MUGEN fightan by the same devs
But if you aren't italian you wont get anything of the humor, and that's the entire point of the games
**I also met the two devs, they wanted to do something a bit more complex at first, but they didn't have enough time to learn how to code
They are pretty ok guys though**

I should probably mention that, while the english dub of Bloodborne just calls you "good hunter" no matter what, the italian dub goes the extra mile and calls you either "buon cacciatore" or "brava cacciatrice" depending of the sex of your character.

Are you looking for anything geographical? I would suggest pirating CK2 and playing as a independent duchy in italy such as milan or (((venice))) or even as the Lombards if you want to have a throwback

It's all taking place in Florence so the Italian unification is fairly irrelevant as far as the novel is concerned. Not to mention it's alternate history starting from 1789. 100% nigger free though.

Well if you're interested in it the papal mechanics are kinda cool except that you can't play as them if you wanted to try out high medieval circa 1400 as the Duchy of Pisa, which holds Florence as a de jure county and you can play as a feudal lord or a merchant republic

What you wanna do is playing Hogs of War with the Italian localization. They basically swapped Chinese with italians, dubbed them with accurate regional dialect representation and stereotypes. For instance the pig from Naples is lazy, the one from Turin scared and so on. The other nations are also dubbed and stereotyped.
It comes out two times funnier and I used to play the shit out of it as a child.

Patrician tastes, they also replaced the Chinkanese team which was made out of really cringe-worthy jokes. I can't recall but did they at least have a character who'd go "honorable" everything?
