The funny thing is that if they never pointed it out, no one would've given a shit, no one would've noticed that boys and girls being in the same classroom wasn't historically accurate, but at least they let you know its not, but they rather not piss people off! Which is why this is totally insincere. What does sincerity have to do with anything? They're just making sure people know the truth. Imagine if a game included an educational mode and didn't mention inaccuracies. CE would still be screaming about historical revision, except it would actually have merit. Eh, no one would really have noticed. There would literally be a lot more posts saying "lol who cares" than in this topic imo. If the kids were playing with PSPs or something then yeah that would be annoying, otherwise I think that's a far more subtle approach. I guess my point there is that people would see children playing and think "Oh, so children passed their time by chasing chickens in the streets" or whatever as opposed to "Oh, so boys AND girls played!". They're literally telling you that boys and girls did NOT learn together. You know, for accuracy's sake. Lol I can see we're going to just be going in circles at this point. S'all good man. I see where you're coming from and ultimately it's just a game. --- RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC / 84/99 Fishing. <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:897938434] in Wow SJW Ub...

None of the games are historically accurate and they avoid pretty much all socially uncomfortable truths. There's no Ass Creed game where people walk around saying **** and raping each other. And they always push women and minorities into important plot roles. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:897938447] in Wow SJW Ub...

While I think shoving in modern-day values over historical accuracy is (often) stupid, this only affects something on a vase, so my interest is limited.

It's petty pathetic pandering and people will eat it up JUST because others point out why it bothers them.

If this game is so far detached from reality like so many in this topic have alluded to, I'm not quite certain what the objective of an educational mode for this game is. I think it's really as simple as that. Just from glancing at the screencap, it looks mostly like an opportunity to signal virtues (at least based off of the completely unsubtle wording). --- http://i.imgur.com/SGkkbF0.png <cite>MrPeppers posted [p:898041154] in Wow SJW Ub...

People aren't necessarily bothered by the historical inaccuracy itself. Is it the stating that it's inaccurate that you're referring to? Yeah like I said it's just really awkward virtue signaling. As if they're trying to appease disproportionately vocal SJW and the handful of very easily offended 50+ year old Egyptologists out there who may or may not ever even see the name "Assassin's Creed: Origins". Maybe like a simple note on a loading screen saying "The creative team took some liberties in recreating certain social aspects in the game" but to draw attention to that fact specifically in the description of an item is weird. Like... I literally don't give a shit what content they put in their game, or leave out of it, but ... just leave it at that. I feel like you still think this is in the main game. It would be kind if weird if an educational mode pushed alternative facts. I know it's not the main game. I guess one thing that would help put this to rest - do they point this out in any other thing that's inaccurate or is it specifically just this one thing? There are multiple points in the Discovery Tour where they discuss design points and point out that they're not completely accurate. In that case I feel kind of dumb for making an issue out of this since it's not a singular example of such explanations in the game. Why aren't more people on CE like this? It would make for a much more pleasant experience. --- The most relaxing version of Aquatic Ambiance I've ever heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl61y1XM7sM <cite>dave_is_slick posted [p:898053832] in Wow SJW Ub...

I think it's really as simple as that. Because it's still most likely the most accurate virtual render of ancient Egypt. They still base a lot of the design on recorded history. Think of it like a behind the scenes documentary for a movie that goes into detail what they based their designs on. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:898054013] in Wow SJW Ub...
