I'm a flaming progressive and I can't stand how unrealistically obsessed with social justice the Assassins are. The ONLY games where it's close enough to the modern day to even kind of make sense is Unity and Syndicate, and even then it's a stretch.

This international ancient secret murder cult seems to have all the same values as modern progressives starting as early as the fucking Renaissance. This is the trope of historical fiction that bothers me the most, when the writers can't fathom writing protagonists with period accurate values and morals. Game of Thrones has the same problem, but at least it's a fictional world so it doesn't really matter.

I'm shuddering to think of how Origins is probably gonna have scenes of the characters questioning slavery and suggesting women should have equal rights. Fuck, I believe in those things, but the ancient Egyptians sure as shit didn't.

I'm excited about it. The RPG stuff will probably be very shallow but as you said at least they changed the fighting a little bit. Usually the world design is pretty good in these games and I care about the late roman republican era. That is pretty much the only reason I will buy this stupid game. I just wish they had a "no sci-fi glowing orbs made by god to create the world"-mode so I could just get immersed in the historic world.

Seriously the only reason there's a rapidly growing far-right movement even on to Gen-Z is because left wing progressivism has gone completely insane and there is no pleasing them and they're revise your history and you'll like it, you demon white male.

as for facing enemies in direct combat: its an Ubisoft game. "normal" diffculty is "very easy" difficulty of other games, you have to change it before your first playthrough
>>
>>389464118
You literally can't. You can't assassinate things if your levels aren't on par, it turns into a shitty sneak attack which means you face the much stronger foe in direct combat anyway.

Plenty of people in history had "progressive" values.

Pompey treated his wife with respect and love (and was made fun of for it), Mohammed nearly fucked up the birth of Islam by saying women were equal to men, Alexander got a ton of flak for trying to found a multicultural empire. It isn't a stretch for someone in antiquity to view slavery as wrong or women as people.
>>
>>389464652
Well when they filled the game with MMOshit there would be no reason to loot around for high level gear if you can one-shot things 10 levels above you without super gear to match.

Brothels, prostitutes, child-killings, headless corpses on pikes are already confirmed though.

This is the Black Flag team so I have more confidence in what they'll deliver.

>the ancient Egyptians sure as shit didn't
But that doesn't matter, because your compatriots aren't interested in historical accuracy or understanding past people as the products of their time, they're interested in recreating the Abrahamic good/evil struggle in terms of progressive/reactionary. The protagonist of a game is good, therefore he must be a prog even if the game is set in ancient Egypt.

Marxism is the exact opposite of the sort of freedom that the Assassins were (originally) about.
>>
>>389468820
>child-killings
Not to be edgy but it's about fucking time someone did it. There's no reason why a game that lets you indiscriminately murder people shouldn't also let you murder children. I hate that devs go out of their way to protect fictional children characters when you can already commit mass genocide in that same game
>>
>>389469485
I would Marxism is an extreme of Assassin Freedom. The end goal in Marxism is a stateless society where everyone is free and equal. I don't think Assassins ever fought for a moral anarchy

"Nothing is true, everything is permissible".

The Assassins were individualist anarchists in the most literal sense, to the point where the game summed up their ideology with that stupid slogan about 100 times in the first game alone.
Collectivist egalitarianism is the exact opposite of what they were originally about and it wasn't until social justice started getting popular that they retconned the whole thing to be pro-socialist, rather than anti-religion.

Why THE FUCK do you care about this horrid garbage? The series has not produced even a single decent game. The ebst of them all, the Black Flag, was still an imbecilic romp that plays for you and congratulates you on every turn like you're five.

i guarantee it's going to have microtransactions out the ass especially if they're trying to make it rpg-like with random loot.

I've just looked at gameplay of this for the first time. Is the main character really black? Is there some sort of character creation I haven't seen?
>>
>>389474612
It's not a rehash if you watch the gameplay footage. They made it like a shitty action rpg instead of the regular asscreed batman combat.
>>
Assassins are the heroic, euphoric fedoras the devs identify as their target audience. Sticking it to those oppressive authority figures (dad, gov't, jocks, the wealthy, "The Man").

It's no secret that the Assassins went full retard somewhere down the line and didn't think things through, just siding with whomever the Templars are up against.
But what's more retarded is that apparently Ubi introduced a lot other secret societies in the side material/games and even in Brotherhood DLC, but still they rather just observe the Assassin-Templar war than, say, fuck them both up in the case of the unfathomably powerful ones, or take a side, for the underdogs.
