this was a game too, albeit one that deserves to be forgotten

why do people give those braindead forgettards attention

It is stupid though, They complain about doubling the cost of everything, While they made 4 guys already, They could have made 3 guys and 1 female and the cost would have been the same...

Two things.

1. Tumblr are loving idiots. This is by default, however.

2. Ubisoft sound like lazy morons that deserve absolutely none of anyone's money right now.

historically women did not have as many notable fighting positions lol

especially specialized positions such as assassins

Educate yourself.


Also it's not just Tumblr.

Even the animation director for Assassin's Creed 3 is complaining. And it's not that there's no playable female character. It's that there was going to be one but they pulled the idea because "it would double the time spent developing characters", that this is the "reality of production".

Educate yourself.

I said as many

unless you're being sarcastic

they were notable as spies (by using love!)

was a figure of the French Revolution. In 1793, she was executed under the guillotine for the assassination of Jacobin leader Jean-Paul Marat

Done and done.
(Wonder if she'll be in the game?)

it's not like assassin's creed is completely 100% correct history. give people the option to be girls if the want to.

AHEM

cause nobody knows how to write females. that whole game was her whining and groaning about what's happening.

also i dont know how you could make a silent multiplayer character annoying in any regard.

[Masterlegodude]

Off topic but is that picture from a game or was there some kind of episode where everything became 3D?

I still don't think the lack of a female protagonist in a game placed in an era where women were mostly powerless is a reason to riot, but tumblr. will find a way

Its Ubisofts explanation of the matter that truly sucks
