i'm surprised too honestly. kassandra was great

I’m not gay so I chose to play as the male.

This was the first time I chose the female character when given the choice. I guess the dude looking turbo generic helped a bit.

I picked Alexios. I want to play as Kassandra because she looks cute, but there's nothing I can do as Kass that I haven't slready done with Alexios.

Because they are completely out of touch with their fans and playerbase and are trying to score good boy points with the gaming media by pretending to be progressives

They were only "surprised" because the majority of people in the beta and early testing programs opted to choose a woman instead.

Developers are completely out of touch from players.

Yeah, Alexios was a pretty standard "gruff and tough" protagonist. Kassandra was a little bit more self-aware and willing to joke around.

I didn't like the Alexio's voice or run animation so I switched to Kassandra. She's better in those aspects but it's certainly less realistic to play as her.

They literally put alexios on the cover of the game, why would people not choose him. Maybe they should stop being pussies and just make the protagonist female if they want to so bad. Seriously why bother having a choice if they consider one canon?

Only incels or literal faggots who always play as female characters in every game they possibly can and often have female anime avatars picked Kassandra and i've seen youtubers excusing this decision by saying that Alexios' voice acting was bad. I completed the game playing as Alexios and it was normal, if you want to play as whomever you want go ahead but don't hide behind your incel lies.

I picked Kassandra and I always usually play as a dude in other games. She seemed more likeable than Alexios. Also I have a braided ponytail fetish

Patrician hair taste m8

The majority of people have shit taste, is this new?

I can't take a woman seriously as the unstoppable super weapon of an evil cult so I picked Kassandra.

>Unironically playing any AC game after Black Flag

cause they didn't think players would want to stare at man ass :^)

The woman is sexier than the man so thats why I picked the woman. I ALWAYS think with my dick. Hasnt let me down yet

So anybody find the new dlc kinda cringe a little with the dialogue?

Because they're dumb.

Interesting

Men are weaker than women anyways. Women don't have an easy to hit weakpoint.

don't they literally have the same dialogue?

What happens

Didn't know Bioware helped Ubisoft with their animations

Yeah but women get BTFO by 15 year old boys in physical strength and athleticism LMAO

Kassandra took that like a champ.

Kassandra/Alexio have a kid and through the kid's bloodline it shows that Aya from Origins is a descendant of them

Pic related always holds true.

the actress they picked is ugly as fuck. not really surprising since greek women are gross and fugly

I dont self insert in any game ever. I'm just watching the characters story.

They believed social media = reality, and all the faggots did was worship kassandra.

Did you just draw that? I never heard any of those save for the last one. Well to be fair, that one is the most retarded unless you play modded Skyrim.

Brainlet.

She has quite a shnoz

I played Cassandra, it was interesting. Her hair thing sucks ass though, it clips through a bunch of armors and the way it always hangs the same way is annoying when you see her doing action scenes. Should have had hair customization for the characters

F-f-facts dont matter

>it clips through a bunch of armors
good to know it's not exclusive to Alexios's biceps, they clip through any upper arm armor

Which means in the final game of the eagle trilogy you will play as a descendant of turbonigger Aya.

I don't get the immerse myself meme. I have never felt like I was the actual character in the game. It is fucking strange that people cannot follow a story if a character is not the same sex. Basically boils down to people are just 1 trait instead of there being a bunch of things that makes a character good

nose? she is hideous dude
wtf

Yea I would not know since I spent 80 hours doing every quest as her, I was not gonna redo the whole game again

That top one shows that person has no idea how to roleplay.

Because Kassandra is so fucking hot like holy shit this isn't even fair

I want to pull on Kassandra's ponytail

True. The mail character just looks super generic.

Well, the sun is out and its close-ish to the equator. Of course she is hot. Shame she looks like a dog though.

>Super popular character from the game many consider to be the best
>Demo blue balled people and they wanted to see the story continue
>Claire looks like a goblin
Who would have though that most players would choose Leon

Is Syndicate worth playing or should I just skip to this one and Origins?

I want to roleplay. That's the beginning and the end of it. I choose to play a woman for the same reason I choose to play as beast race characters.

Because it's the current year and because they were using the woman in 90% of the marketing.

But the reality is that the only people who, when given a choice, opt to play as the woman in a western, violent, non-pornographic game are
1. "strong and independent" women
2. fags and closet fags
3. beta *nods respectfully towards you* type lowlife numales

Fucking gas all the scum that played as Cassandra.

Also the text on the story select screen makes it seem as of Leons is meant to be first

Yeah. I'm pretty sure the "muh representation" people think the same too.

>wtf I can't play this game as the main character has a different skin color from me

This, based and manpilled.

Claire A Leon B is canon tho

Nah this stupid logic would work if you actually became the characters. But you just experience the story of someone else. If you cannot enjoy a story because it is about a woman instead of a man, you are the one with issues

you're just wrong bro. kass takes herself WAY too seriously. alexios (nearly) always sounds like he's ready to break out laughing at how absurd the plot is.

I play as a girl because I am an SJW.

I like watching her climb things, I like watching her get out of the water, I like checking out her ass when she swims, her face basically makes me pop a boner every time. My point is, I'll fuck your dad, kid.

Havent played Syndicate, but I would not waste time playing both Origins and Odyssey, because true to Ubisoft, they did some light innovations after 5 games of the same shit in Origins... and then proceeded to copy paste it into Odyssey.

I'm talking about the voice acting user, the thing that allows the dialog to exist.

>>user never watched Xena
>>user can't enjoy playing a game where he's not the self insert
>>user has no imagination
>>user will die alone and self inflicted.

It's fine if you don't have a choice

It would be like me saying I could not get into GTA:SA cause it had a black dude as the main character, and that game was bad ass.

Well she looks really ugly
so does he though...

I dunno

Bet you enjoy a good pegging too

Except that Alexios was in almost every marketing material and not Kassandra. Ubisoft is just stupid.

>Muh self insert
Not an argument unless it's a game where the protagonist has zero character.

Is it YOUbesoft or OObesoft

Eh, sometimes something different is interesting. I will say that I never played any romance focused games as a girl. Like Mass Effect or Dragon Age, I don't have any interest in hitting on the dude characters in those games. Odyssey's romances are such a fucking joke for either character that they might as well not be there

Define "immersed"

Male characters are much better written in most media and I don't respect women in general.

I always play as a girl because I do wish I was one and I refuse to transition irl and live a normal life instead and being a girl online

You insane spastic, what the fuck are you replying to, nothing about my post was about Kassandra being canon.

That's what I though. It's sad that once they get a good game idea they just stick to it until everyone is bored to death from it.

>Odyssey's romances are such a fucking joke for either character that they might as well not be there
True, although fucking Kira was at least amusing, since I had to honor fight that beta orbiter that couldnt do in weeks what Ive done in two days.

If I was ever possessed by a demon to replay the game ... I would still pick Alexios. Strong independent wymyn are a joke in that setting, however fantastical it is.

>that npc that internalizes alexios as deimos because he only ever played as kassandra

Absolutely. I wont argue with you there. I have zero imagination. Back in school I used to hate subjects like art, music and woodworking as it required some degree of imagination or creativity. I always got good grades in subjects like science and maths and other such subjects but constantly failed creative subjects. The art teacher asked my mother if I ever played with lego as a child as he never encountered a student with such little creativity or imagination.

Get yourself away from that degenerate shit my man, seriously it will only lead you to fucked mentally ill nonsense

Why is this animation so laughably bad? I thought AAA games were supposed to look good?

Normally he is just budget ezio with a really mediocre voice actor. also flings his arms around weirdly when he runs, which Kassandra doesn't do.

people pick based on what they empathize with the most

Nah I live a great life and it's a good balance for me, I'll keep that shit hidden away forever

So it's truly OObesoft. But for branding purposes oversees, they allow the mispronunciation.

When I think spartan, Greece and the like I imagine Leonidas and manly heroics, I would have picked the guy too, has nothing to do with sexism but immersion

Cause they don't do motion capture for everything in a 60 hour game. RPGs usually have some shit animations. There are some exceptions but generally thats how it is

So do you guys legit think with your brains and not your dicks? How do you do that?

>mediocre voice actor
I dont get where this meme originates from. He is on par with the rest of the cast. Its serviceable. Just like she is.

Nah not really, I do kinda wish I was a girl though.

Always fap before making a decision, user. ANY decision.

Not him, but there is, I would go on a long tirade about it but you won't read it and call me a faggot instead, so let's jump straight to that

Jerk off and then make the decision. You have like 2 min where you can utilize 100% of your brain

by having standards, Kassandra is ugly

Not to my ears, he sounds really off. Like he's overdoing every line.

I picked Alexios BECAUSE I kept hearing how good Kassandra was. Not to be contrarian, but I just wanted to see what the flip side was like. Plus I think he looks more aethestically pleasing in the Greek armor.

He's fine. I wouldn't call him Bland, just another a typical post Ezio/Edward AC lead. The wannabe Han Solo type.

Cope.

Something the weak-minded think.

disgusting

He has much more of an accent, which Americans cannot handle. Europeans and Canadians who hear different accents all the time can tell the difference between bad voice acting and someone just speaking differently.

>greater bone density, especially in the anus

Full nude mods are trash. It is a lot less appealing when you just see everything, now skimpy attire is where it is at

I never said "Sold" quicker than that.

I don't hear it friend, he sounds about on par with all the other games' voice actors they all suck

Devs actually believe the Twitter crowd and diversity hire consultants on their talks about female audience.

This. I started as Kassandra since everyone was hyping her up. Yeah she's cute but the whole point of these games is to self-insert. And after an hour I couldn't get into the game playing as her. I was willing to restart the game as Kass after beating it but it's a huge ass game and I'm not going through it again.

Only fags roleplay as a girl

Kassfags are scum

>self-insert.
This is for fags.

Im stuck on who to play. Kass is cute and I hear she's a better acted character but Alexios is a lot more immersive

I killed everyone and damn what a ride. Definitely one of the best games of last year for me. I'm actually looking forward to post-game exploring/hunting.

>Kass is cute
Stop thinking with your dick
>I hear she's a better acted character
They are both much the same

Storywise Kassandra fits better, but immersion-wise it's Alexios. Ask yourself what's more important.

Do both. Paragon/Renegade

If thinking with dick is dumb then why does it feel good?

fags don't play the female character, think it through for a minute

This but unironically

I picked kass because the guy looked like too much of a wop greaseball

>self-insert
Schizo alert.

How do you relate or empathize with anybody if you don't insert yourself in them?

>Stentor being alive
Leave it to a Kass player to play like a little bitch

Yeah he goes full rage mode. And he's just a simple guy who wanted to go hunting with his son and drink beer with his friend, but he gets fucked over constantly.

They’ve taken so many liberties with the setting that I consider it fantasy so realism in this case doesn’t bother me

>playing a RPG-type game as the opposite sex
>wanting to fuck dudes instead of bang hot females

>Kassandra fits better
Maybe on the end of your dick. Sure as fuck not into the story or the setting.

I resent this listing, i always play a girl character because i'm a huge pervert and not a fag.
Apologize.

>finding virtual girls hot
woopsies! Time to die NIGGER! :)

I'm sorry but I can't take her seriously as Deimos

>looked like too much of a wop greaseball

That's ironically the best part tho

I played Kassandra and didn't fuck anyone the whole game.

Kass really reminded me about Lara Croft, the real one.

Only time I play a female character or have a female character is in an MMO, usually an alt too.

Otherwise single player RPG’s will be a Male every time. Why? Simply because I like to immerse myself and self insert as the protagonist and choose choices that reflect my own thoughts and beliefs. I can’t do that as a woman, because I’m not a woman.

Same here. I feel like they pushed the chick in the trailers. I mean look at the picture. Who is front? The chick.
I never saw much about the dude or heard much about him. HECK I didn't even know his name until I just saw this picture.

I never play chicks. I am no chick but she seems likeable and also attractive. I would fuck her.

The dude looks so fucking generic. Remove the dress and the background and place him on the box art for a FIFA game and I would fall for it and say
>yep looks like one of those football players I know absolutely nothing about.

So yeh I am surprised Mrs Malaka didn't get chosen as much as the dude.

These games are essentially power fantasies. And as 90% of players are male, they wanna play as a badass who kills everyone and fucks bitches. It's not hard to comprehend.

I don't. I can only pretend to care if its useful. I don't actually really care.

Why do you fuckers make such a big deal about playing as a girl? In the 90s nobody cared when we played as Jill or Claire in the old Resident evil games or Lara Croft in Tomb Raider.

You're retarded, Alexios is essentially Rico Rodriguez in Greece. Stop trying to defend your closeted mental illness and just admit you want to be a pretty girl like Randy Stair.

I chose Kassandra since Alexios is more entertaining as Deimos than she is.

Alexios is knock-off ezio

Evil route Kassandra is best Kassandra

>we
Get out

I hope you asked the same question to the retarded journos who treated Kassandra like the second coming in their articles about the game.

SJWs are very unintelligent, nothing new here

Yes I did and they blocked me on twitter

In fairness.
Leon is the most popular character in the whole franchise, with Jill sitting firmly in the number 2 spot.
If RE2 was Leon and Jill instead of Leon and Claire, the numbers would probably be much closer.

At the end of the day, nobody gives a shit about Claire.

Notice how the marketing firm astoturfing for Ubishit here only talks about "KASSANDA IS CUTE!" instead of placing focus on the fact that the game is yet another derivative Ubisoft skinner box progression simulator.

I picked Kassandra so I could look at her feet. Not even joking.

>Leon is the most popular character in the whole franchise, with Jill sitting firmly in the number 2 spot.

sweet lord you people are mental....the number 2 spot belongs to chris.

hey i play as a girl as a vehicle for my sexual frustration

leave me alone its bad enough i am a faggot

It really doesn't.
Capcom wants it to be Chris, but your top 3 in RE are Leon, Jill, and Wesker.

>Every male romantic interest acts like a huge fag because you could be playing as Alexios

because Assassin's Creed's audience is mostly gay.

Who the fuck actually chooses to be a female in games

Every video game without exception lacks substance and purpose in the real. They're video games, user. They're for recreation, stop trying to imagine that some are somehow special and "better" than that. You're not the fun police.

I cannot self-insert, whenever I'm playing a story driven game I just feel like I'm playing someone else's story.

There's a rather large difference between a video game made for entertaining a consumer and one designed to please the shareholders providing a barely changed experience rife with worthless side activities and timewasters to try and bloat the game into having substance it lacks. If you're going to be a crybaby retard over somebody complaining an ASSASSIN'S CREED game is boring and AAA trite, r/gaming is probably more your speed.

I don't know. The idea of one person taking hordes of baddies is generally pretty off the wall so I don't see a woman doing that as breaking my suspension of disbelief.
