I love when ads pretend to not be ads

Oh I’m so glad comics’ most prominent disabled superhero was wiped from continuity in order to be brought back as a... “ robotic menace in the vein of Marvel’s Ultron.”

Because “evil robot” is so much less of an explored space for comic books than the old Oracle, who doesn’t even have an easily-referenced identical…

But bruh.

To be fair, disability discourse usually holds that “magically" removing a disability is offensive to the disabled.

So Patrick Stewart stars as one of the sailor scouts?

I’m a gamer and a casual Star Wars fan, and I wouldn’t know what someone meant if they said the “Dark Times”. I don’t think the clarification is a bad thing.

I would love to hear John Goodman do some Japanese voice over work!

Lets say it clear. These days a dot in the wrong place will offend someone and it will lead to some ridiculous reaction.

So? Things like that have happened.

Yep. Fortunately this regressive narrative is losing ground. Kotaku will swing back when it’s amazon sales numbers dip too far

Mmmmm, no thanks.

This article is a fine example of how Kotaku retreats increasingly further into a tiny niche while thinking it’s being expansive.

Sounds about as convoluted as I thought. Pass!

You don’t NEED to hear anything, you can’t silence anyones ideas. With my free speech I can tell you that you’re a moron that actually believes theres nazis in America, that you actually believe pepe memes are nazi and whats even more egregious is that you think YOU’RE just like the ones who died fighting actual nazis…

I was thinking the same thing. What’s the point of setting it in turn-of-the-millenium Greece? They would need to go back farther to hit the more notable history, but Ubi kind of shot themselves in the foot by not having the Brotherhood founded until Caesar’s lifetime.

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume the name refers to Homer’s Odyssey, not Mario’s

The child obsessed with Ancient Greece in me is screaming for joy. I wonder if Odyssey means we’ll got to Ilium and see Odysseus, Agamemnon, and those character? Would be neat to see an Agamemnon assassination mission.

Wasn’t the actual protagonist in the last one a woman?

Technically speaking, it’d be more accurate to call this game’s setting “the Roman Empire,” as Greece was already part of Roman territory by the time of Origins, so if this is a sequel, Greece is by no means an independent power.

Pedant mode: disengaged.

So...is this going to be chronological and maybe follow up on the Aya/Cleopatra thread? Because otherwise I’m not sure how this can be set in Ancient Greece unless they’re going to retcon the origins of the Assassins yet again.
