Laugh now, but we are one step away from Assassin's Creed: Germany where the main character is hitler

I played three games of xdefiant, was not at all shocked to see that basically every character was mixed race, etc. What gave me a chuckle was seeing that they even needed to include someone with vitiligo. There's a gender studies phd working on these games making way too much money.

Sounds like options depending on the player's choices, i don't mind, its ok at least i doubt the main character will be transgender 🤭

I'm sick of hearing about characters sexuality, i don't care when i'm in the middle of battles trying to exterminate the enemies, it's not important and never will be!.

To be fair in ancient greece there was probably more gay or bi ppl than just straights, so it kinda made sense. Not so sure in traditional Japan.
I know, i wasn't justifying the game, just saying that it's not new to the series.

I'm sorry, why I'm I supposed to be upset about this? You guys know you have the option to not buy games your not interested in right?.... Right??

Just a matter of time until Ubisoft announces that everyone who plays their games is a black gay japanese trans woman.

“Romantically, they will also attract and be attracted to different types of people. Through the pair, players will get to experience a multitude of relationships.”

So yea . . . Some anti-woke people were stupid about the black samurai crap, but in the end, not wrong about the game.






How is commenting on historical inaccuracies about the black samurai "anti woke crap?"

The rest of this makes it a hard no for me. Get fucked ubisoft.

I do like the seasonal change mechanic introduced in the game design though, that's actually cool and you can't do the same things in the winter you can in the summer especially if your an Assassin, hope they do it well.

They basically did the same thing with Odyssey though, right? It just wasn't shoved in our faces then.

Aaaannd after a month or two...

"Ubisoft AC: Shadows didn't meet sales expectations"
"Ubisoft laying off staff after AC:Shadows low sales and poor reviews"
"Ubisoft doesn't know what they done wrong"

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
How did we get to this point in which the sexuality of a character in media is one of it's main personality traits? Have they told us anything about them aside from their skin color and sexuality?

This is retarded. Who gives a shit?

Meh, this IP needs to start from cero, the same as Far Cry. Just imagine that the most controversial stuff about this game is the race, gender of Main charaters , that is very Bad


Also that tier price is crazy for a Game That will offer nothing new vs previous ones because I do not see UBI being creative on this Game, they Will just "copy paste" it from previous games.

The last two ACs you could be as gay or straight or bi as you wanted, sounds to me like they're going to do that again.

Much ado about fuck all.

The reading comprehension by the author of that article, and by extension, some of you on here is really low.

"They will attract and be attracted by *different* types of people."

I have no idea why you would think they are or are not gay from that quote. Is a heterosexual couple not attracted to different types of people? So YOU THE PLAYER can experience a multitude of relationships, but that doesn't mean that either character is going to be gay.

It's more likely that a website really wants them being gay to be the case wrote that and that people who really want to be upset over a game reacted to it. Like always.

AI could be used here. Imagine that you shag anyone that comes close to you and at the end of the game, as a summarization of your actions, the game shows you all the woman you had a romp with and the resulting children. Like when tabloids posted Schwarzenegger's nonexistent child with the housemaid.

I'm actually replaying Odyssey now (because it's the only AC game I genuinely enjoy all of) and I'm absolutely fucking everyone I can.
To bad they ditched the shield from origins, you could have used this one in odissey

As long as we see some hardcore fucking im in, I dont want no softy love shit, I want to see that bitch take a long cock down the throat and that black geeza fucking raw hairy arsehole.
 
We are going to be playing as a male character and a female character, combined we will experience different types of relationships. The way the person is quoted it doesn't mean that they are going to have gay relationships it could just be you see different types of relationships through both characters. Not only that but you could have gay relationships in AC Valhalla, it's not forced you just pick the person you flirt with and see where it goes.

Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Is it next month Gay Pride month? Not surprisingly just in time.

Laugh now, but we are one step away from Assassin's Creed: Germany where the main character is hitler
Probably not although it's hard to tell with what's going on in universities right now.

But, I can seriously see them having you play a famous communist/Marxist/socialist figure. Because that's the way the younger generation is headed. Even my Gen X peers.

“Romantically, they will also attract and be attracted to different types of people. Through the pair, players will get to experience a multitude of relationships.”

Okay, am I the only one who read this as saying that each of them is attracted to a different type of person as in Yasuke the male is attracted to women while Naoe the female is attracted to men? Though if that were the case, why would they need to announce it, that's just the natural expectation. Then again, this world has turned completely fucking crazy, so maybe it makes sense that normal heterosexual relationships would be considered surprising in a modern Western game.

I just wanna see the actual gameplay at this point, and know if the stealth elements will actually be decent.

Less interested in any samurai stuff after the weak braindead combat of Valhalla, but hopefully they can do some justice to the ninja fantasy.

This sounds like an extension of what they did with Odyssey. My Alexios and Kassandra playthroughs in Odyssey basically had sex with everyone who was willing.

At this point, I just want to know how many gigs of pandering this game is going to be.

Where in those articles does it say something about LGBTQ? Knowing Ubi, I'm guessing most of this will be player choice when it comes to relationships.
I think you're probably reading into it too much OP.
if it choice naoe gay yasuke straight boom done.
