I kinda felt bad for coming to this decision and cutting the stream short, but I wasn't really feeling up to streaming the rest of this game, as fascinating as it is in the history of Capcom's PS2 output. Something about Shadow of Rome after starting Chapter 2 started to not be as engaging as I was hoping, especially when it came to Agrippa's sections due to how the combat feels and some of the arena challenges during this session. I think the realization that I was almost wanting to go back to sneaking as Octavianus instead was the sign the game wasn't grabbing me, since being a Roman gladiator seemed like the biggest appeal this game had going for it. So yeah, playing through the rest of this game would've likely lead to another situation as Breakdown for the Xbox. Maybe I'll return to it after getting good at it in my free time, but that wouldn't be for a long while.
