    ngl this might be one of the better ads for these games I've ever seen. I can kill slave owners, fight a pope, and help the Bolsheviks?!

    Everyone hated Pope Rodrigo Borgia, that barely counted as woke

      I remember when the game came out and people were hyped they could fight the pope and assumed it would be controversial. I guess they didn't know Rodrigo Borgia was a real guy and they picked probably the only Pope the Vatican would not only approve of but endorse his severe beating in a video game. I knew about him cause I read a Mario Puzo novel about him as a kid.

          Probably fine too. The DaVinci code bullahit of the overall plot and the hero character also using demonic magick is also no good.

    If it makes the Gamers feel any better, the company policy is the furthest thing from Woke.

      Apparently they do not want to make a WW1 themed era game because too many games have been made about that era

    Crusaders were known as Franj, Franks, because of their overwhelming French origin. even the ones from England were French.

        The Normans were all over the place, even guys in charge of parts of Italy were French.

      I think I remember them speaking French in the first game, too.

    I really do wonder how these sort of people go through their daily lives. They must be so utterly outraged all the time, I'm amazed they don't have an aneurysm.

    I remember my dad playing the first game which takes place in Al Quds

    Ezio trilogy and Black Flag are way more fun to play but I really like the setting of the 1st one

    Yes but the difference is that epic men with penises made those old woke games so they cancelled each other out, but cringe blue hair women made this game
