Most people are upset at the glitches and bugs it had (Which has been patched by now) but I agree that you can skip it as it offers little to the story.
For one, the game has many bugs. You will need to download Ubisoft's legion of patches just to make the game run decently.
At it's core, it is not a bad game. But if you are like me and have expectations after playing the other titles, you will find this game rather lacking in lustre and rather dull.
Do buy it as a starting point if you wish. Just get the patches if you do.
Whoopty doo. They had females in their games before and we still get the same crappy story with tons of filler content.
It would be hilarious if Ubisoft made the character a generic white dude with a scruffy beard, but the voice is female. They could say "close enough" and continue to make a shit ton of money.
They had the opposite in Unity. There were side missions where you helped a man disguised as a woman, he's pretty much a female character model with a male voice...Whoo, that sure surprised me the first time around.

I've never played any Assassin's Creed games, I keep hearing that each game is worse than the last. I wouldn't know, of course. But historical settings and assassins sounds right up my alley, so can anyone recommend?
Also the comments ubisoft made last year about female characters costing too much to bother animating.
Now I never saw this comment … moreand I can't exactly know when it was made so excuse my absence of information on the subject but...Could it be that they already finished the Co-op game modeling and this money comment was because they saw no reason to waste time animating and doing everything for another character just to add a do nothing female character?
To be fair, Telltale's only had one game where you play as a female without sharing the title, and she was a child so I'm not sure it counts in the same way.
Has feminism gone too far? :O
Thanks Obama!
Now I know this has already been brought up and you said it was a joke but I find… more these comments pretty immature.
Anyway to the topic at hand, I'm just happy for another Assassin's Creed. The gender of the protagonist has never mattered to me as long as they were a good character.
There are way more male protagonists than female ones.
Sorry, but that simply isn't bullshit. If you like, you can try to list as many games you know with a female protaginist, and I'll do the same with males, and we'll see which number is far higher.
Yet they are immature on a thread you probably attempted to have a serious topic. The mega thread is about anything on people's minds and therefore memes hold a place there.
They're really not any more immature than what people post in the whatevers on your mind megathread, which I never see you criticising.
These comments are just memes.
It still doesn't freakin' Matter. Like, why do people make Big deals out of Female protagonists? If it's for Female players, that's stupid. All the female gamers I have met have enjoyed these games either way. None of this is a big deal, it's Just making a character, Like they do every year.
See, I personally don't know shit about the games other than Ubisoft's egregious treatment of the franchise and the consumers who purchase it. It always makes me raise an eyebrow when a development studio tells it's fanbase that rather than fixing the bugs a game has, they're going to work on more half-assed DLC.

"Nah, we really don't feel like it."
I never bought Watch Dogs, but that was the general consensuses I'm aware. It looked boring to me from the jump though, and Ubisoft proudly proclaiming they'd have another franchise made out of their new IP before the first game was even released was the final nail in the coffin.
It looked like little more than a "spectacle game" with a somewhat strong gimmick to me.
God Awful Game, Assassin's Creed BlackFlag, also awful. They don't know how to make good games anymore. Its like everyone who had talent in the game industry left because they got sick of all the Corporate Bullshit, and now we are stuck with the shit that was left.

Would you understand if people complained about the lack of black protagonists, because its massively disproportionate?
There are still nowhere near equal numbers of male and female protagonists in the gaming industry. Games companies are actually told not to make their protagonists female.

I'm joking, obviously, but to, answer your other reply:
Who the fuck are we to say he/she shouldn't make a character they want to?
Key phrase 'should' - I think people should be perfectly free to say 'should' or 'shouldn't,' the problem is when people say 'can' or 'can't', and too often that distinction is blurred (not accusing you, just in general). To say that video games, on a whole, underrepresent women is not saying that an individual game should be censored or needs to switch its character to a female character to be equal. It's more a general 'let's think about it,' on the whole. And having a brown-haired male as the lazy default does not excuse it for being lazy - the question is, why is that the default?

Same with how they're probably told not to make their protagonists giant, dicks with two legs. Its what works with the story. Can you prove that there is hatred against female protagonists and there is a malicious agenda behind Burly white AND BLACK guy #32342

but anyway I don't get the big deal. I didn't even get it with AC V. It's not like you could customize genders in the previous games. Yes, I'm aware that there's Co-op and that's a new feature but they stated they wanted every character to be the main character from the players screen. Why even care? Why do you still care after AC V??
also did you guys forgot that there are AC games with female protagonists?? in fact one just came out! Not kidding, you might have missed it when you blinked? I dunno.
My biggest question , who cares what sex the protagonist is, why does that make a difference to people? If they write a story with a guy, and its good story. I am fine with that.
If they write a story with a female protagonist, and it's good story, guess what. I am also fine with that.
The only reason why she is doing all that bullshit, is to get famous, and people talk about her. She doesn't care about video games. I guarantee its all an act.
Excuse me, not all of these characters are Sarkeesian approved.

You really hate it, don't you?
Don't care. Assassins creed is dead in my eyes.
so? ac has already had a female as the main character
You should start with Assassin's Creed II (my favorite), then Brotherhood and Revelations, then Black Flag.
Yay! Comments section! XD
Exactly! So why do people need to make a big deal Now?
Same.
No, they considered having a female character in co-op from the start but didn't because they thought it would cost too much,
To be fair, Telltale's only had one game where you play as a female without sharing the title, and she was a child so I'm not sure it counts in the same way.

There hasn't been one in a main series game.

I need to prepare for the future. Woman are going to take over everything even the world. RIP World 2020.
Who cares, Assassin's Creed Sucks.
Thats good. I have quite a few games on Steam that have female protagonists and they are some of my best games. The more the merrier, I say.
See, I personally don't know shit about the games other than Ubisoft's egregious treatment of the franchise and the consumers who purchase it.

After buying Watch Dogs I will never buy another UBISOFT game Ever Again, i don't care if CLementine herself is the star of Assassin's creed.

Well, If all Video game protagonists were Female I'd still play and enjoy it, But, I see where you're coming from with this.
I can relate to that.
Poor Rayman has been buried by them for no reason whatsoever.

This is entirely subjective George and you shouldn't state it as fact. I for one loved Black Flag and so did many others.
It's opinions.

Why is that a big deal to you?
Same here
I'm not sure tho. I think she has a couple of good arguments in these two videos.
