Basically the title. Old game but I finally got it on sale, I don't care about fighting for the invading brown people, especially when I'm roleplaying as a Rennaisance-era Christian European. What were they thinking.
AC1: I'm an Arab ninja taking out Crusaders currently invading my homeland. Great.
AC2: I'm a rennaisance Italian ninja in a blood feud against another family of rennaisance Italians. Perfect.
AC2B: I'm the same Italian ninja liberating Rome from the the invading corrupt Italians. This makes sense.
AC2R: I'm the same Italian and I'm siding with the Turks in crushing the remenants of Constantinople. What. The OBVIOUS choice was liberating Constantinople from invading corrupt Ottomans. Byzantines who, wait for it, would have called themselves ROMANS at the time. This was so obvious, what were they smoking.
EDIT: Everything else was great though. I enjoyed the cutscenes and the Altair-Ezio-Desmond finale. But the gameplay story (ie most of the fucking game) was ass.
Are you fucking retarded?
'The Order of Assassins' is literally pulled from The Order of Assassins.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_Assassins
That's an Arab-Islamic sect that spread absolute havoc over the Islamic states in reprisal to the sacking of their castle.
If anything the 'Templars', though they take their name from The Knights Templar, purposely take from only the worst propaganda about the Knights Templar, while also exploiting and applying the conspiracies surrounding the Masonic Temple to form a weird secret order of people hell bent on controlling the world.
You've literally inverted the entire concept. The bad guys, are the Templars, who are modeled after the conspiracies regarding Masons.

Still wrong (especially for claiming that time & reality altering conspiracy with alien gods is "extreme historical accuracy"), but the actual violation here is claiming that the purpose of jewish story telling is subversion in the ongoing race war the user claims is happening.
Right, they don't claim historical accuracy at all. They just get tons of puff pieces in the press about history, like these:

And Ubisoft's own history content which conveniently doesn't discuss what sort of changes they made:

Look at what you are taking seriously: GamerRant, Mashable, The Guardian, Medium, and Ubisoft.
Magic is not real. Alien gods aren't real. The Crusades are not a Templar conspiracy to summon an alien god to take over the world. Please stop.
