YOU CAN'T HAVE NOTHING GOYIM

>What I want to know is that if they were going to do that, why not just snip the male protagonist out of the game altogether?

So it's not full feminist, duh.

>why not just snip the male protagonist out of the game altogether?

They want to virtue signal, but still want those dudebro shekels.

>Ancient Greece

>Having Female Warriors

I call fucking bullshit.

What's the problem? KOTOR2 female Exile was also canon.

>>15045479

>Trash game is trash.

More on the 11 o'clock news.

>>15045513

Also this. It's ubishit, who gives a fuck?

>>15045510

i'm pretty sure KOTOR2 was not riding the muh historical acuracy meme like AssC is

Womyn in ancient Greece were sent back to the kitchen whenever they stepped out of line and you can bet your ass no SPartan is ever gonna talk toa female with even a sliver of respect, they hated women so much that the law literally had to force them to marry and give children to the state

>>15045479

is there any kind of continuity after Desmon's death? will strong womyn be referecnced in future games? from what i've seen, all the dialog seems sex neutral, the MC may be genderless as far as the story is concerned. i doubt there will be anything even remotelly sex exclusive in the story (like the MC needing to deal with a pregnancy at some point in the game)

>tfw no qt spartan gf to wrestle with

>>15045566

would they also have stupid hair styles?

>>15045620

Not according to any historical accounts.

>>15045632

then you should find a more accurate pic.

>>15045643

>show what an Amazon chest would look like you fags

The chest, is accurate, all I wanted.

>>15045510

Giving Revan and Exile a canon sex was also dumb, but is at least somewhat justifiable because they're part of a larger IP that other writers' works would end up drawing from. It doesn't make sense for AssCreed. Don't give players choices if you're then going to declare one set of those choices canon and nullify the rest.

>at least in the upcoming official novelisation.

Who gives a shit about the novelisations of video games?

>>15045539

Wow, your mind really is warped by modern times. What you described does not mean ancient greeks hated women, they had these laws because they knew it was best for everyone, including their women whom they loved and respected as mothers of their children. Only from a warped modern perspective that you are pushing here can this be considered hateful. and since you're a faggot, naturally

>>15045479

Because they want it to sell, despite everything they're pushing they know the gender and age range of their target demographic.

So it's impossible for her to have to be gay in canon do to Ass Creed's genetic memory thing?

>>15045566

what the fuck happened to her tit

>>15045769

are you just illiterate or something?

>>15045769

cut by a bow string

>>15045769

Breast cancer, mastectomy on one side.

Stop giving them any attention.

>>15045479

>>snip the male protagonist

Give them a few years.

>>15045720

Doesnt Revan marry Bastila and have a kid?

>>15045720

The cannon play through for KOTOR 1 was a male character, light side. The cannon play through for KOTOR 2 was a female character, dark side.

>>15045935

Its in the book "Revan" btw in that book the exile is still female but she did the light side ending. It was a chaotic time in Star Wars lore as Lucas was about to start selling off to Disney. At any rate neither are considered cannon now.

>>15045942

>>15045953

I guess it's just a matter of either allowing the lore of the Star Wars "expanded universe" written by other writers to determine your understanding of KOTOR 1 and 2 or not accepting the "expanded universe" lore and regarding KOTOR as a separate and complete duology. Who determines what is canon in a video game series created by two different developers and set in a preexisting fictional setting, like the Star Wars universe, doesn't seem easy to determine.

>>15045763

She would be raped by some sexist white man or something, then she won't be able to abort cause of the greek patriarchy and shieet

If you care enough about Assassin's Creed to get upset about this you're a fucking casual.

>>15045720

They're made canon in the Revan novel, by one of the writers of KOTOR 1. Of course, none of that matters now that everything in the old EU has been relegated to "Legends" by Disney, so feel free to ignore it all.

AC is and always was shit.

>>15045479

>It’s unremarkable, unfortunately, but the choice to display Alexios more prominently is especially disappointing at a time when misogynists are kicking off about women in ‘historical’ games, such as Battlefield V. God forbid some guy doesn’t get in the spotlight. Of course, nothing’s to stop you from visiting your local video game den and quietly flipping covers to ensure everyone knows who the game’s real hero is.

>Responding to a question about there being a definitive, canon story, Dumont responded: “Yes, there will be a canon represented in the novel featuring Kassandra and her journey. But in the game you decide your path. There is no right or wrong way.”

>female is the real hero of the game when the creative director just said in your own article that their is no cannon hero in the game

Great read. Thanks so much for posting this useless article from some dogshit professional blogger.

>>15045763

you no longer need to be a direct descendant or have their dna to read genetic memories, in Origins they've developed the animus enough so that all you need is the blood of the original person, so when you're doing ancient egypt shit you're doing it using blood and tissue taken from Bayek's mummy

don't know how the fuck that'd work with greeks since they didn't have mummies but who knows, probably bone marrow or some shit from their corpse

>>15045479

Nobody cares. Not even the people who still genuinely like asscreed care about the shitty plot.

>>15045510

Which is absolute bullshit since having Handmaiden is canon instead of Disciple. Absolute simultaneous cake-having/eating nonsense like that reeks of desperate diversity quota-filling to me.

>>15045479

If the female character in Odyssey legitimately has more fleshed out content for being canonical, I'll be immensely surprised. Otherwise, from a gameplay perspective it's just an aesthetic preference, and from a lore perspective it's one small and ultimately inconsequential footnote in a truly disconnected alternate history where humanity as it exists today began as a weaker, dumber slave race to the original humanity, at which point you might as well incorporate the leftist delusion of parity between the biological sexes and ignore all but the outwardly physical aspects of sexual dimorphism, because it's fantasy so why hell not.

In other words, every single reason why a female warrior is stupid in real life doesn't necessarily apply since Assassin's Creed is already stupid, for better or worse.

Also, other anons are right, having the option to play as a male is just Ubisoft playing it safe, which I don't really take issue with when it's done like this.

>>15045510

>Listening to Bioware

Female evil Revan and Space Jesus Exile now and forever canon.

>>15045566

>so bad at archery and lacking so much upper body strength that you have to resort to lopping off body parts just so they don't get in the way while you're sucking at firing a bow

Women have never been good at anything besides babymaking, have they?

>>15048140

The whole idea of a pissed off buff Spartan mom killing gods is such a missed opportunity.

>tfw love the idea of stronk warrior women but hate how politicized and agenda driven the whole idea has become

It's not realistic it will never be realistic but since when has that gotten in the way of a fun game. I swear these people pushing STRONK INDEPENDANT WOMYN in video games would have a hell of an easier time just making a fun loving girl who kicks peoples shit instead of scowly faced dyke #389 everytime.

>>15045479

Killing leftists prevents them from spreading like this.

>>15045479

You'd think the retards would just go the AssCreed Syndicate route, but lazy faggots and dykes as always, can't have a logical explanation like the Male MC teach the Fem MC combat because that would be mansplaining.

>>15045720

Star Wars canon in the EU was almost a gigantic clusterfuck, they only made the Exile female because of some Droid encylopedia that listed her as female, then Lucas Arts didn't give a shit because they were planning to sell out to Disney, and Bioware and Drew Kasperger went with it for TORtanic and the Revan novel, because the game and said book didn't give a shit about KOTOR 2 TSL, so they just went on with it, doesn't surprise me that they character-assassinated Reven and the Biodrones ate it all up when the story is now in the shitter.

>>15048521

Lollypop chainsaw? Bayonetta?

>only Nippon may apply

Sad

>>15046288

>AC is and always was shit.

Hitler dubs speak the truth. The idea, in its most broad outlines, is great, but the execution, ever since the first game has always been dogshit.

>is especially disappointing at a time when misogynists are kicking off about women in ‘historical’ games, such as Battlefield V

It's like these liberal animals speak a whole different language. Their understanding of the word 'historical' is completely different from that of English speaking people.

>>15048575

The moderates don't get it, either we do it or the Muslims, blacks, or Latino's will.

>>15048615

There's a few characters from older Western games that would apply but not in current year. Sad.

>>15045942

No, the canon for KOTOR2 is female light side. It has to be light side because there are no jedi left in the galaxy and the companions of the Exile become the new jedi order.

>>15045720

Not only does Atton say Revan is a woman, Carth will also say he loves Revan if the player establishes Revan is female at the start. It's possible Avelone just really likes female leads and pictures all the dominant characters as females.

>>15045479

Isn't this game set in Greece? In Athens, women weren't even let out of the house except to go to the temples for ceremonies. Come on Ubisoft …

>>15045479

Fuck off with this shit and stop shilling this thread.

>>15052907

You played as a nigger last time, are you fucking retarded to expect anything now? or anything in the future?

fuck off.

>>15054795

Well that looks a lot better than dickless an dyke over there.

>>15047808

>Which is absolute bullshit since having Handmaiden is canon instead of Disciple

That's a reasonable decision, because Disciple was far and away the most boring part of that game. Male Exile and female Exile both have strong unique content (Handmaiden and extra stuff with Atris as male, totally different interactions with Sion as female) but Disciple isn't part of that.

>>15054795

Amazons are a myth. There's no historically accurate depiction of them, because they didn't exist.

>>15054816

Basically yes, but there was a tribe of Sarmatian/Scythians that inspired the myth because the Greeks were so perplexed as to why anyone would send a woman into battle.

>>15054835

its ok. If they fuck up they can just retcon every fucking mistake!

>>15047917

But Kotor2 was made by obsidian you nig.

>>15054835

More like Ubishit doesn't actually know what they're doing but AC's popularity landed on their lap, so they have to keep making games but the story is fuck-all because they didn't actually plan getting this far.

>>15045518

>it's ubishit, who cares

When the industry is this thoroughly pozzed, you better start caring. Shill.

>>15054856

But Bioware were the ones that made an Echani Female Exile canon in TORtanic which isn't even one of the portraits and gave her a retarded name even for Star Wars while they were at it. Female Dark Side Revan and Space Jesus Exile works infinitely better.

>>15056030

My nigga.

>>15056030

Amen!

Pee pee

Poo poo

AssCreed is a bad series

>>15045720

>>15052751

Naw, you got that wrong. You can actually decide whether Revan was male or female/LS or DS, that's why that dialogue is in there. The game changes depending on what you choose. For example, if you choose a light side Revan you'll run into Carth, if you choose a Dark Side Revan you'll find a hologram of Bastila on Korriban.

It allows you to establish some continuity between KOTOR 1 & 2 without the possibility to import your save game.

>>150455100

The """"""canon""""" choices of KotOR and KotOR II are bullshit and if you buy in to them you're a cuck. Decide your own canon, they're fucking RPGs, and if you do canon playthroughs you are the most boring motherfucker ever and I bet even you know it. I bet >>15047808 is right about the """"canon""" choices being more about diversity quotas than the actual story.

>>15045539

>>15045719

>What you described does not mean ancient greeks hated women

Guy kinda right. You can find vagina fear traces in the Greeks myths. There are literally nothing good coming from the women in their pantheon. Top Goddesses?

Gaia. Chaos mother of all. Most know for hating Zeus who usurped power after castrating his father. After that Gaia birthed countless monsters and send them to hurt Zeus and his children (not really successful). Bio vagina weapon.

Hera. Sister-wife of Zeus. The goddess of women. Most known for consonantly seeking revenge on Zeus lovers (he had hundreds :^) and bastards sending strife and insanity anywhere where these poor souls lived.

Athena. Most praised Goddess. Virgin, no husband. Warrior. Literally boy with tits. Only good type of women that can exist in Greek mind.

Aphrodite. Goddess of love. Dumb slut, walking avatar of bimbo. Nuff said.

Artemis. Another very praised Goddess. Another virgin warrior boy with tits.

>>15056631

Amazons were meant to be an object of mockery and derision. They were basically saying that the tribe they belonged to was so pathetic and weak they needed to send their women to fight battles for them, and the bit about them cutting off one of their breasts to be able to shoot the bow was a dig at how these women basically butchered away what made them women to do what the men ought to have been doing.

Fuckwits that believe this was the Greeks being some proto-feminists need to have their heads checked.

>>15056789

>Most praised Goddess. Virgin, no husband.

>Artemis. Another very praised Goddess. Another virgin warrior boy with tits.

As you say, the two "good" goddesses are both tomboys, so we know that the most superior fetish of them all was well established since antiquity.

>Aphrodite. Goddess of love. Dumb slut, walking avatar of bimbo. Nuff said.

Also constantly cuckolding her husband, with him inventing new and creative ways to punish her.

>caring about Assassin's Creed

>ever

lmao at your lives

>>15056846

The original idea was pretty good, then Patrice Désilets was fired and the franchise turned into how much revisionnism they can achieve to fit [current year] politics.

>>15056880

The first AC was shit as well. It played like a barren prototype of game that lacked any sort of challenge, and any stealth elements present were an afterthought. The really insulting part is that even GTA3 gave players more to do in the gameworld than AC1 did.

>>15056789

Tomboy master race wins again

>>15056789

Top goddesses is debatable. There was also Nike, the goddess of victory, and Styx, the goddess of the eponymous river. Then there's Achilles's mother, Thetis, whose myths are a tad strange in that while mortals may appeal to the olympian gods for higher intervention, when the olympian gods need intervention from a higher power, they apparently appeal to Thetis. Evidently Thetis's cult worshiped her as the creator of the universe.

>>15045479

>What I want to know is that if they were going to do that, why not just snip the male protagonist out of the game altogether?

Dude, who the fuck cares what's "canon"? Does it matter?

>>15056789

>Athena. Most praised Goddess. Virgin, no husband. Warrior. Literally boy with tits. Only good type of women that can exist in Greek mind.

Don't forget that she was literally born from Zeus's mind.

Interesting, thanks for the insight, Anon.

>>15057043

>Top goddesses is debatable.

Ask a normalfag the name of one Greek goddess. 9 out of 10 times they'll mention Athena.

>>15057174

I thought we were judging greek culture though, not normalfags.

>>15064478

>at least he wasn’t yet another boring white fella.

But the greeks are/were white, what's the point here?

Apparently it's not always fun to work for Ubishit. They have re-educational camps for those who aren't into social justice.

>>15045566

>one breasted amazon myth

Over a million female archers will attest to the fact that you do not, in fact, need to lop off a tit to shoot a bow. Even women with big tits can shoot bows(probably not FF cups, though).

>>15082590

>they burned their tits off

This is almost certainly false, for one the reasoning makes no sense even by the "drink fermented fox semen to cure the sniffles" logic of ancient times. Even the notion that "they get in the way" is wrong when you consider that tits are soft and armor is not.

>AC had non white MCs

You forgot the deminigger in AC:Origins and the Frenchman in Unity.

>>15057148

It's his 3d waifu but he called her daughter. Ancient greek mythology represents the autism you find on the chans which proves to the fullest extent that it truly is an enlightened spiritual philosophy.

>>15074320

good art

Most french art schools are top tier institutions but politically they are probably just as pozzed as every other university system. Imagine if they just took politics out of art school then people can actually express their talents. Yea I went to art school for a bit then I dropped out because my peers were very insufferable and somehow I attracted a psycho groupie esque girlfriend so I just said fuck this shit. Artschool is so degenerate I would put it on the same level as community college except community college probably has a higher T level and has less retarded people walking around.

>>15082752

>good art

Not in the last hundred years. Good mainstream art died before WW2, hell mainstream traditional ART died before WW2.

90% of the shit that comes out of any artistic institution or individual artist these days is utter shite(often literally), the remaining 10% get buried under mountains of nepotism and pretense. Don't get me started on the politics.

Source: I went to and graduated from a vocational high-school for art, got to meet a lot of people, got to go to a lot of places, got to hear about even more places, got to learn the more or less comprehensive education on every major art movement from the stone age till a few years ago. Still in contact with a lot of the people.

>>15082795

>90% of the shit that comes out of any artistic institution or individual artist these days is utter shite(often literally)

that's how it always is though most great artists die without getting the recognition they deserve. It's actually the modern era where we even get artists who are actually allowed these insane budgets for these creative projects(imagine if someone handed michaelangelo like 1 billion dollars and said "Here make a star wars themed park" or some shit) this is what's going on now but the people in charge of the (((funding))) and the people who educate the artists are pozzed. People are pozzed from elementary school up so it's really no wonder why most things are shit.

Somehow, I found myself laughing and reading the pages of George W. Bush and Vladimir Lenin on the Assassin's Creed wiki. Apparently, Bush was a Templar puppet, and Lenin was affiliated with the Russian branch of Assassins. It seems like anyone the Ubisoft devs hated was "Templar-affiliated", and anyone they liked was "Assassins-affiliated".

Some other noteworthy names.

>Templar-affiliated people ("bad guys")

George W. Bush, Vladimir Putin, Margaret Thatcher, Henry Ford, Adolf Hitler, Richard Nixon, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wilkes Booth, etc.

And also Joseph Stalin & Mao Zedong for some reason. Seems like the Marxist/Leninist types of Communists are A-okay, but the Stalinists and Maoists can go fuck themselves.

>Assassins-affiliated people ("good guys")

Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx, Winston Churchill, Al Gore, Napoleon Bonaparte, Nikola Tesla, etc.

Given how petty and hilarious some of these affiliations are, I willing to bet you anything that Ubisoft will make Trump an ebil Templar & Obama an Assassin. Mark my words.
