    Assassins Creed is becoming more of an RPG than Fallout. These are crazy times.

      Choosing between male and female doesn't make this game an rpg, it's still an action linear story game like every other ac game, witcher had choices, choices in dialogue, the way you play the game, multiple story endings based on previous choices, I highly doubt an AC game made in 2 years can achieve what CD Projekt Red did in 8 years for the witcher, and will now do again for Cyberpunk2077, which is also 8 years in the making thus far, or even Red Dead Redemption 2 for that matter

    • @sage826
      @sage826 6 років тому +111

      *Wright* It's in the inflection. Kassandra sounds more charismatic and friendly, and Alexios sounds more serious and rough.

    • @coffeepoweredkatie6290
      @coffeepoweredkatie6290 6 років тому +15

      It would have been cooler if they both existed in the world. Like if you didn't play one the other would be your sibling. Wouldn't even need to be a playable character as I know some didn't like that in Syndicate, but like an NPC or something.

    • @sage826
      @sage826 6 років тому +21

      *Wright* But it really does? Kassandra's voice isn't soft, it's quiet gruff for a woman. She sounds more friendly because the voice actor made her charismatic and charming than the male voice actor did. He sounds more straight to the point and brash. That is a difference in personality. How someone says something is just as important as what they say.

    • @magicala-gmv228
      @magicala-gmv228 6 років тому +2

      Sage Personality isn't the type of voice, it's the way to be, and in this game not because you can take choices will be different, they are practically the same person.

    • @jessie_wam8192
      @jessie_wam8192 6 років тому +1

      Sage Yeah, what you are referring to with Inflection and voice pitch is nothing more than identifying a different speaking pattern. There is no difference in emotion. There is no difference in response. The difference you're hearing, as stated already, is due to the connotations you're attaching to two different types of voice.

    The voice actress for Kassandra sounds so much better! The accent sounds more greek, there's more "life" in her voice and the emphasis on important words and phrases is way better. Overall just a superior performance! Very noticeable in my opinion.

    • @Gadget-Walkmen
      @Gadget-Walkmen 6 років тому +6

      @DerLetzteMonarch 6 років тому +15

      Michael, the doesn't make Alexios canon. These things are made by marketing teams and we all know that they prefer to use men, because they still believe it is affecting sales. Kassandra is going to be used in all outside media like books or comics, making her at least canon for the overall AC universe. But of course the devs would likely argue that every player is going to create their own canon, as they always do with RPGs.

    Would've been great if you spent more time actually comparing them side by side rather than alternating between them as you moved the dialogue forward. You know, so we can more accurately compare what's different, what's the same, what's better and what's worse between the two characters.

    • @wompxrat
      @wompxrat 5 років тому +4

      Totally agree, and it also feels like Alexios had more dialogue in this video than Kassandra. Just started playing and I'm trying to feel out the two actors. From this video though I'm starting to think I wanna play as Kassandra. Which is different since I always play as a guy if given the choice. Feel like the female actor is better because she has more experience as a voice actor for games than the other guy. Sorry can't remember actors names.
      IGN, this is a bad video, you have some splaining to do.

      The interesting thing, though, is that this is actually a historically accurate thing. Spartan women in Ancient Greece had far more freedom than other women in other Greek states, so the idea of a Spartan woman being playable in this game isn't actually wrong. The Spartans were a fascinating people.

      Too much use of red colour makes the game feel more of Roman times. Also some of the faces seem more of roman origin. Red was expensive to make and was not worn by the average pleb. Also the name Alexios is roman. They could have used Alexandros although that would be a tad too "much" , but they could have used something else, like Eteokles, Anaxagoras, Nikodimos, Archelaos but "Alexios" comes from a later era if not the even later eastern roman empire: Byzantine era. So yeah one could go wrong because of all that... Also ancient Greeks were not saying "malaka" Malaka is a later time word and started to be used after 1970 or something... Is the same as if you have a game with lords of british origin using today's slag of Harlem. People were not talking like that back then.

      Thats just cause most people associate that type of armor, especially the helmets with roman soldiers.

    A good lesson for the next Dragon Age, male and female character's animations are different and the woman move actually like a woman!

    In a setting where women are treated as less than human beings the two characters play exactly the same...

    Really feels like this game was going to be just a female protagonist but publishers were like "What? No no no, we're not doing a female lead. Throw in a male option."

      epiccthulu Maybe the next one, there are still too many guys complaining about even having the possibility of playing as a woman warrior. But I have the feeling that kassandra was meant to be the canon option too.

      It would make zero sense to make her the main protagonist because female spartan warriors did not exist.

      Time Traveling Old Man 1. Neither does the animus or a minotaur.
      2. Thankfully then the main charater is not a spartan warrior but a greek mercenary.
      3. The creators said that kassandra was meant to be the canon main character.

      @@Ilovedallthepeople Minotaurs are part of Greek mythology and gender segregation part of Greek history. Women in combat was considered barbaric and the other city states would probably declare war on you for being a barbarian that allows women to be slaughtered on the battliefield.

    So AC is finally giving 50% of its players character of their gender. Great. I'm going to get this (once its released and no microtransactions have been spotted, and the game has been patched) and play it with both characters.
