      OMG, yes! Every time I wanna visit my favorite historical site, I launch Assassin's Creed and play the same 3 missions over and over again! Bless! 💚

      🎵 Assassin's Creed is a good franchise 🎵

        This used to be unironically true, to an extent. Especially with the original games.

    It looks like “attack and destroy the contents of religious sites such as the Itatehyouzu Shrine” means you can break the clutter scattered around the area, like a pot or a bench. You don’t deface the shrine itself.

    Considering what a shitshow tourists are in Japan? I completely get why they would comment on this rather than just say “It is a video game, who cares? Next question”.

    Last time I was in Kyoto I swear a local priest/monk was about to throw some 'bows when a German tourist an his family just walked straight across a zen garden.

    Still, the endless chud culture war is always incredibly tiring. And here I am playing Rise of the Ronin instead (the PC port is ass but it is functional ass!). Chuds hate it because women exist. They SHOULD hate it because you can totally gay seckz Sakamoto Ryoma. Sort of like how Nioh “got away with” acknowledging the existence of Yasuke because all the chuds tuckered themselves out before finding out he was in that.

    Apologize for Nanjing and maybe there’s a snowball’s chance in hell you have a leg to stand on.
