The seventh game of the Assassin’s Creed’s series is  hitting stores on Nov. 11 and is playable on Xbox One and  Playstation. However, gamers have developed a distaste for the new game and go as far as calling it sexist. It’s not uncommon for videogames to show women as exposed and not fairly important in the game as if they’re just extras.

However, no one expected for the Assassin’s Creed to be deemed sexist, or as developers called it, “lazy.” Developers have defended themselves saying that it would take more effort and they don’t have enough funds to support the more voice actors and animation needed. However, gamers don’t see it in that kind of light, like sophomore Cameron Vega.

“They’re leaving out all the females,” Vega said.

The French Revolution was not a revolution of just men. In fact, women played a huge part. Before the Revolution, women weren’t allowed rights and were considered “passive,” leading to the demand of a political reform. They expressed their thoughts through pamphlets and women’s clubs, one of the most famous, The Society of Revolutionary Republican. T

his just goes to show how women weren’t just on the sidelines while the Revolution went on, giving the developers no right to leave out female influences from the game.

However, there are many different contributions to the game that gamers are pretty excited about. Senior Sean Williams was especially excited about being allowed to play the main story with other players. The new game also includes new parkour and stealth gameplay to assassinate all your victims in deadly precision. The developers are even letting you go as far as creating your master assassin. As much as this seems wonderful to ears, there still one unanswered question lingering: where are the women?

Though the Assassin’s Creed franchise is coming under fire, it’s also time to look at how female characters are generally portrayed in the video game universe. It’s hard to play a game and not encounter at least a few women who are barely clothed or have absolutely nothing to with the initial storyline. Take for example, Mortal Kombat. Seriously, would it kill you to put one girl who is strong but also doesn’t make me feel like I’m playing something a guy would be playing in their dark basement.

“They’re kind of downgraded” sophomore Juliet Tafoya said. “Men has to be on top.”

Of course not all female characters are considered useless, take Clementine from the “Walking Dead.” She’s adorable and she can seriously chop down some zombies. However, it’s not hard to see that the video game world needs a serious reform for women. Perhaps another revolution.
