New details about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey have emerged right before Ubisoft’s E3 conference. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will allow players to choose a female or male character. Kass…
Seeing as the male Shepard is modeled after an actual real person and the female change every game and wasn't official until the 3rd, I would say femshep was an afterthought.
Female Shepard was just a much better voice actor, IMHO. I've played both across three platforms, but I only did male one time, all the rest were female just because she was much better.
I'm so excited about this! Looks like she gets her own story, instead of bouncing between in the same way that Jacob and Evie did. Definitely playing as Kassandra!
glad there's a choice. . people are getting way to emotional about inclusion nowadays. It's almost like people would moan less if they included a hedgehog over a female. . .
You whine until people get tired and just agree your opinions are more important than others so you'll shut up and let them actually get on with their projects.
Yesssss! Finally I can play as a female protagonist! Reminds me of Origins far as the setting & gameplay. Glad to know this is releasing this year will pick up a copy on Black Friday.
Honestly im kinda annoyed with all the "super heroish" and magic that they included. While its a fiction - AC is supposed to be loosely based on history. The first few games didnt have all this crap.. the glowing in fire, dropping 50 feet and living. I just kinda want AC to be.. somewhat realistic. Its gone so far off path from the 1st game...
And skulls and bones, i wasnt overly impressed by. However, ill keep an eye on it. The division 2 looks good, though.
The possible saving grace for this game with me is the tease of Greek Mythology at the end. Overall this very much felt like a reskinned version of Origins. I wish Ubisoft would have allow for another year off break for the series.
It's going more on the RPG with powers and skills, you decide outcomes to events rather than it being straight linear, and the minotaur at the end makes me giddy for the potential that this might be more mythical than before. Then again, the whole thing could just be a simulation and not true genetic history.
I'm certain there are gamers who enjoy playing as their own gender, so, yeah, it's good news for them after a game that had a male protagonist. Not all news is for every gamer, sometimes it's for certain gamers only.
This makes no sense because there were NO female spartan warriors. Why this "inclusion" compulsion?? Why this SJW nonsense has to have infect even historical events just for the sake of it. (I am talking about Sparta, Greece, and not the game if you were planning on making a smart comment about that).
If they are so desperate of having a female in leading role just make it in modern times, but don't violate history.
Don't try and argue history... Video game devs don't give a flying fvck about it. I think they modeled the game more after that movie 300 than actually reading history.
Its sad because I am also a history enthusiast but atleast young Spartan women did participate in their own agoge and were considered tough... But I mean in this trailer we saw a minotaur and a battle that had no phalanx in it... It's pretty safe to say you either turn off your brain(and historical knowledge) or just don't buy it.
This is my bummer about it.. its been roughly based on history. And now they are just doing their own thing. I want AC to be somewhat realistic and history based. ;(
Yeah and Minotaurs and Medusa didn't exist either yet they are in the game. Not a defender of SJW crap but here it doesn't bother me because the AC games are more sci fi games set in historical time periods, plus as stated there is a minotaur in the game so I think we can do away with the idea that women weren't Spartans
Considering the AC games are historical fiction that depicts the unseen dark corners of history I don't mind the option to play as a woman, it's a compromise I'm fine with if we really really really need female representation for some reason but I think people need to be concerned about how this game doesn't look like an Assassin's Creed game
Yeah I mean... Just pick the male character or don't buy the game. People seem to really get up in arms over characters gender or lack of customization but I really don't care. I've always gone with generic guy characters so I'll have no issue. I just really hope the game gives us actual phalanx on phalanx warfare and not that "everyone for themselves" open battle like in 300 that we saw on the beach.
She looks absolutely stunning. The game itself looks amazing, far better than I was expecting, far more colourful than Origins (which was already great), but this female protagonist already jumped into my top 5 favourite playable characters. Strong, sexy, relaxed, smart, and just gorgeous. Absolute perfection.
Only thing I REALLY hate about what was shown, is that there was no (or very little) blood during the fights, which looked ridiculous. They shouldn't be self-censoring themselves, cause this is physical contact with brutal weapons, and that isn't clean, and it shouldn't be portrayed as such. That completely takes you out of the experience.
So? Hoping someone screams SJW so you can get clicks I see. How is this remotely noteworthy when I have played female protagonists in games for a long time?
It's noteworthy to a lot of female gamers, actually. It might not mean much to the majority of the gaming community, but there are those that enjoy this news the same as there are members of the gaming community who take news of the protagonist being only female as being bad news and being undesirable.
Kind of annoyed that this even has to be a topic worth bringing up. "It's a female character, lets raise awareness." oh wait a minute, "There's a choice you can be a male or a female."... welcome to gaming in 2018 everybody, such innovation, are we having fun yet?
I think I liked gaming a lot more when something like this...actually didn't matter.
That's great! I always like games that let you decide. I could never get how people played Mass Effect as a male, cause Shepard for me is female...
I'm so excited about this! Looks like she gets her own story, instead of bouncing between in the same way that Jacob and Evie did. Definitely playing as Kassandra!
More leaks for Assassin's Creed Odyssey!
Loved the girl in Syndicate so love having this choice
