Assassins Creed Lesson 3

Assassins Creed

The message/Ideology of Assassins Creed:

- Violence solves problems
- Anti-Slavery
- Women's Liberation/Gender Equality
- Good vs Evil
- Violence is acceptable 
- In life there are good guys and bad guys (Binary opposition)
- A celebration of French history and culture
- Slavery needs to be challenged with violent means

Oppositional readings:

- Violence isn't okay to solve problems (Possibly a parent reading)
- The gameplay is not enjoyable as it is confusing

Negotiated Readings:

- To find the game boring/confusing but to agree with the anti-slavery messages
- They enjoy the gameplay but find the narrative boring

Video games allow audiences interactivity, they give them multiple experiences and ways to play.

Lore - Video games that have a deeper story that is not apparent

Environmental Storytelling - Getting the story through the description of objects instead of using cut scenes.
