Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

Right. I'm sure there's nobody taking issue with the obvious political motive behind making the main character a black guy. Pay no attention to the sweet baby behind the curtain. There's also nobody who enjoyed the historical part of the series historical fiction. Who in their right mind would pick up games about hunting down famous figures in historical settings to see those famous figures in historical settings? And of course nobody would ever care about a game series called Assassin's Creed making the single most recognizable person in an entire country the main assassin. Nope, it's totally just racists making up excuses for their racism.

Google Assassins Creed historical inaccuraries.
You'll find they made shit up in every iteration. Caterina Sforza in AC2 was portrayed much older, when she should've been only 17. She's portrayed as benevolent, when historically she was just as ruthless as the Borgia or Medici families.
Why did no one complain about that? Or any of the hundreds of other historical circumstances and misrepresentations?

You can find countless inaccuracies but no one raised a stink about any of them. Strange.

That would never end. EA alone is an endless pit. This thread would be a deep, depressing pit of how triple A gaming is doomed to die an inglorious death.

Fair enough. But it still might be fun to vent about them.

Why focus on AAA game devs we need to focus on those porn devs that are scamming their patreons

True. I've seen at least two games at this point that started as loli games, got loads of finacial support before the dev suddenly replaces all loli with older models to expand out to a 'wider audience' and backstab the people they originally took money from. May just be 2, but that's 2 more than should be a thing.

I think it's only different this time is because the devs themselves says this one is the most "historically accurate" .
And it's not just the Yasuke bit that can be said to be inaccurate; it's use of armor, environmental contradictions, and even plagiarism from their art team.

I have a feeling it's going to be a boring game either way, regardless of any of that.

Have the AC games been any good recently? I gave up on the series so long ago.

Use this:

border-radius: 25px;
border: ridge 1px #ffffff;
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 5px 5px #1cf01c, -6px 0px 20px 8px #1cf01c;

Hey stop spreading non pointy borders!!!

I might get a new AC still looking for those inverter types but it is kinda rainy season so I don't really feel like buying one.
Still I will need it if it starts to get hot haha.

The newer ones have that standard rpg-action style of combat and the stories are bland at best.

I liked Odyssey out of all of them, only because it was Ancient Greece though.

Is it? The devs have been making the "historical accuracy" argument every single time, and every single time it's a lie.
Everything you say's been true in every one of the AC games. Historical events that didn't happen, use of clothing and armor that's in the wrong period, etc. etc.

I think we can thoroughly agree that the game will suck, but that's because it's the same AC clone they've done a million times over. And it's done by Ubisoft.
I don't think a black character in japan called Yasuke who is portayed as Samurai instead of being a Retainer is the thing that made or broke the game.

AC Odyssey is super good. I didn't love Valhalla as much.

Odyssey and Origins were pretty good, but I think that maps were too big and empty. Going open-world with an assassin game was meh.

Valhalla was way too big, way too empty, and super boring. Haven't bothered with Mirage, yet

I've played up to Origins and have enjoyed them up to that point. I know the stories of Odyssy and up so far and ehile the RPGs are okay, theyhave issues and feel too bloated at 100 hours just to play the story. Overall, the quality has been going down for a while. The most recent game that was more of a return to pre-RPG era was nice, but the story wasn't as good as past games.

That's just my quick review.

Start talking like that, then we can hear clapping of @Silwith at the back of this thread, and it wont be a round of applause

Mrrrrrm... *shouts for @Flaming1 "SPANK ME DADDY!"

Origins and Odyssey were both really good, Valhalla is not bad if you like norse mythology and vikings (Still, a fall off after the good Origins and Odyssey nonetheless). But they are action-adventure-rpgs now, isn't really the same sort of game AC started out as, not much "Assassin" in it honestly.

You're welcome. Did I choose a good color for you?

Perfect color.

I think I read somewhere that the animators did that her lip on purpose, so that she would be, uh, smol'd... How wrong they were.
What anime is that?

Youjo Senki or The Saga of Tanya the Evil. It wasn't to prevent r34, it was because the author didn't want her to look cute. She is a psychopathic middle aged Japanese salaryman committing war crimes in magic WWI. He wanted to reflect that with her design, but there's only so much you can do to make a small blond girl not cute without adding some horrible disfigurement.

Very strange. It's almost like making a 6'2" black man the man character in feudal Japan is a more apparent misrepresentation with more obvious political motives than aging up a 17 year old in your game aimed at adults. You'd think maybe the discourse around games has changed since 2009 too. I wonder if something happened, maybe around 2014, that would influence discourse and how games are perceived when these issues come up.

 

[Underlord]

Perfect color.

Do you like the non pointy border?

 

[Archer]

Maybe I just want to talk about Air conditioners haha

But are you prepared to talk about air conditioner games? Don't lose a finger I think might be my favorite.

 

[Teaspoon]

Perfect color.

Certainly is a bright neon.
