Mmmhmm. Point still remains. It broke formula in a number of ways, it did poorly, what impetus does Ubi have to try again?

I personally would love a female assassin, but I don't get bit out of shape when it doesn't happen. They are making at least one AC game a fucking year. Can't people, I dunno, be just a little…

Excuses are like assholes, my friend.

Do you think that's how Ubisoft sees it? Really? Or do you think they see how much money it made, how poorly it was received and go, "Nah, let's stick with what makes us money." Weird how companies are motivated by money and not by upset internet ragers, right?

But hey, I fully…

Oh, remember when it got a HD remake and came out on consoles, too? Oops.

I know, fuckstain. That was my point. Every game that has a story has to decide who the protagonist will be if it's not create-a-player scenario. So unless you are saying that every game that chooses a male protagonist by excluding have a female one is sexist, your point if fucking retarded. And "women" aren't…

Well, when E3 starts being mostly being about mobile gaming, then I'm sure you'll see a much bigger representation toward that demographic...

So, tell me, which game said, "Women are not allowed to play?" I don't remember that, and Patricia would have been have a seizure she was typing so hard if they did.

A large portion of the gaming community? Please, tell me about how much of the gaming community that is. I'm curious. Tell me how this outrage is going to cause Unity to tank. Please. Tell me how this anger you "feel" is going to manifest in something that might actually be actionable.

I'm not choosing to ignore…

You do recall the very first game was set in the Middle East, yes?

And that the third game had a Native (well, half) protagonist, yes?

A reason you've decided is bullshit is what I assume you mean. That's fair. That's your opinion. But unless we see actual proof that there was some sort of mustache twirling conspiracy, then it is just an opinion. Proof before dishonor aka I like my facts like I like my systems of government: empirical.

No black characters in it, but you aren't upset about that. No bisexual characters, but you aren't upset about that. What, exactly, do you need to qualify for representation? Is there a particular percentage of the worlds population you need? A quota of some sort to meet? I just want to know so I can start…

Three articles in one day over one game. Impressive. Kotaku should go into the dairy business, cuz they sure know how to milk something.

Not really. Think about it. Video games, or at least the narrative concept of video games, is only about...30 years old. That's a fantastically short amount of time for the strides made. It's still essentially a baby, even if it's a technologically advanced baby. In many ways, it still talks and thinks like baby.

A…

Was Faith a pretty good character? I played about a level of Mirror's Edge and it didn't do anything for me, and she didn't seem particularly interesting. Then again, the standards for for "pretty good" are laughably low, but that really has no bearing in this particular conversation. I think the things that mark…

Slapping tits on something was shorthand for taking a male base form and making minimal changes to make it female. As I said, if you are cool with that, all you have to do is have the male VAs speak in falsetto and and squint really hard, and bam, there you go, female character.

Uh-huh, and according to physics, those two bodies interact with the rest of the world in completely different, but I'm sure Newton was just talking out his ass about that.

I don't have to seriously pause, but then again, been doing martial arts for years. It's intrinsic knowledge for me, and given that we exist in a…

The positives were there, but they could have been improved, which was the entire point of that. For people who did notice, it was a disconnect, for some it was humorous, for others it was annoying.

Yes, the rigs were the same, the models were effectively the same. Unless you are trying to tell me that a 100 lb…

AC: Multi game franchise spanning two console generations, costing millions of dollars to produce and promote, running on a predicted annual schedule, which requires an incredible number of man hours to create, and has a stupefying amount of oversight for every decision.

#IDARB: An indie game where character models are…

It was a big deal for Mass Effect, actually. Noted MANY times about how FemShep has this weird, bow-legged strut because she moved like a large man. It was, at least to me, disconcerting. I'm not sure about Aliens:CM because pretty much everything was awful about that game, so...yeah. As for GoW, yes, everyone was…

Oh, there are tons of women throughout history that are interesting killers. Lyudmila Pavlichenko is a favorite. And, you know, if you want badass ladies, you have people like Chiomara. That said, however, Liberation did not do well. Even the remake did not do well. I can understand why Ubisoft hesitant to pour…

She killed one person. One politically motivated murder does not an assassin make.
