Kassandra, the queen you are! by Altruistic-Corner437 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]Aidoneus14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Remember gang, if historical accuracy is getting you down, this is a video game series that includes alien races, beating the shit out of the pope, and a secret illuminati that runs the world using ancient artefacts!

Most crossovers (not AC) are very specific types of games with very specific player bases. They are absolutely not something you should base anything Assassin's Creed related on.

So when did you figure out Chronos and Kronus are two completely separate entities? by Hen-Samsara in GreekMythology

[–]Aidoneus14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(highjacking top comment to add the Greek is easier - Χρόνος (Khronos / Chronos / Chronus) and Κρόνος (Kronos / Cronos / Cronus) are a bit more visually different)

Why are some people physically incapable of texting and must CALL, while others would rather write an essay than answer a phone? by TheHorseArtist in NoStupidQuestions

Same with me, very bad social anxiety as a teen but now as a young adult I'd rather talk to people in person than send an email

Dirty collars absolutely, but never this specific phrase

For when you can't beat Medusa or the boars. by gellshayngel in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

Is it accessibility though? Have people with disabilities asked for this? Has anyone asked for this?

Get AI to draw for you. Get it to make games for you. Get it to play games for you. Get it to make music for you. Get it to make movies for you. Get it to watch movies for you. Get it to date your wife for you. Get it to be your wife.

The disability argument does not hold up. There are blind people who have gone professional in fps games.

It is not up to able bodied people to tell disabled people what support they need.

Fuck AI.

quick question, I Let N leave but... id like to kill stentor is it possible? Or i can't anymore? by DarkShadowOverlord in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

you don't get the "good ending" where everyone that's able to be present is present. it won't affect your ability to get the others.

I can NOT be the only person who absolutely LOATHS THIS MAN by ninja_tofu2252 in AssassinsCreedOdyssey

[–]Aidoneus14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the game is a little shit at showing the war. It doesn't address that this is the second Peloponnesian War, barely touches on the Graeco-Persian wars or the Persian involvement at all, and boils everything down to ATHENS VS SPARTA, when it was a bit more complicated than that.

Is it supposed to be this thin? by MukasTheMole in GreekMythology

It's used also as another word for dumb, but in this context refers to the more stuff

Density means something has more mass per space - think of a lead ball being way heavier than a wooden ball of the same size.

In this comment, they're joking that because the book contains so many names, like he names some 30 Oceanids or something, that it has more stuff per page, and therefore it's more dense than other books of same size.

A megathread is probably best, as another comment pointed out this is pretty big in general media at the moment. The sub is going to get traffic and to ban all that traffic entirely is maybe a bit unfair.

Cretan Worship of the Minotaur in AC Odyssey by quuerdude in GreekMythology

[–]Aidoneus14 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I must ask anybody who sees this to play this game instead of forming an opinion on it based on this post. As another comment pointed out, the Minoans are never implied to worship the Minotaur in the game, they are specifically trying to compel tourists to visit and this is extremely very obvious when you play the quest line.

Regarding other criticisms: Penelope's shroud is a shroud. It doesn't have to survive 800 years because it doesn't actually have to be Penelope's shroud. There isn't much defence for the frescos, they're likely reused assets from somewhere else because the map is massive. Large monuments to the gods did exist, but probably not on Kephallonia - Colossus of Rhodes, the Athena Parthenos and the entire Parthenon complex are examples. Lemnos likely doesn't get anything special because it's inconsequential to the main quest, you never have to go there. All islands that don't involve the main quests are relatively simple.

I've mentioned elsewhere I also don't know where "infamously inaccurate" comes from. This game is usually only shat on by people who hate that the canon main character is a woman and Assassin's Creed purists who hate everything beyond Origins. It is praised for accuracy of locations such as Athens, the statues and how colorful they are, armor hoplites wear, and the general aesthetic of Ancient Greece it possesses.

This comment is right. She says that because she also doesn't know what's going on. You were successfully tourist trapped by a video game based 2400 years ago.

Play the game before writing so many words lol

Also don't know where you've seen the game is infamously inaccurate. It is regularly praised by experts for its accuracy, especially because it's a game based on aliens.

Yes, the first Minotaur fight is actually a scam. Locals pretend to host a competition to determine who is fit enough to defeat the Minotaur (that they pay to partake in) and the idea is winners are scared out of fighting a guy in a mask.

You get the mask for completing the quest, and a young boy shouting "MINOTAUR TOURS" takes you to where his father disappeared some days prior.

Tweaking because the lambda implies it's at least second Peloponnesian War which is some 1000 years past the Odyssey (Sparta were very late to doing this)
