Knights Templar Call For "Negative Game" Ban in Germany
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
Didn't Ubisoft say there would be a Assasin's Creed announcement this year?
And wouldn't this make a great PR stunt, what with taking the villain in the game and applying them to a real-world current day situation that gamers would disagree with?
Also, wasn't there a theory that AC3 would take place in WW2 era Germany?
Hmm...

Wow.
See, I thought it was going to be the Knights Templar complaining that they're always the bad guys in video games. Instead, it's a splinter group that wants to ban any violent video game.
Reality is... much less interesting than what I pictured. Oh well.

Anyone can claim that the organisation they are in is the official knights templar, after all the name is not copyright and there are no original members left to complain.
Actually, the translation for "parliament" would be "Parlament".aashell13 said:
"The Bundestag" is the name of the German parliament, not a translation of the word.
The thing is that the Google translation engine has a tendency to lump names together when they occur in the same sentence, even if the names are for two distinct entities in the original sentence.
And that's why life in Germany never gets boring. Have a bratwurst and a beer to try and digest the ever increasing stupidity surplus.
as a German i have to clarify that these guys have nothing to do with the Knights Templar, they are a newly formed ecumenical Order and part of an international Network (Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani). Reason for this is that the Name of the Knights Templar isn't properly protected by copyrights. This is in contrast to the real Knightly (Military) Orders (Teutonic, Saint John etc.), who still exists up to today...
As everyone else dons their hidden blades and capes i meanwhile will be sitting back with smile on my face as i watch their group fail in their attempt.
Oh please Escapists, this is not the real Templar organization. Do you honestly think that the Templars, if they HAVE managed to remain secret for centuries, and still exist, would suddenly resurface...to ban some bloody violent video games.
This is just a group of people stealing their name, and are shaming the greatness that comes with the word "Templar".

Well with German blood in my body,
I want you all to picture being German, knowing your parents we not part of the Nazi party, and every video game and their dog using Nazi's as targets.
Not very far from "Hey everyone it's ok to kill Germans!!!! Go gettum!"
And yeah they do need some positive influences. This is why Germany barely equaled Japan after WW2 rebuilding. They never really did have a chance to take off the Nazi label and the whole West and East Berlin bit had them in the middle of a cold war.
Let them move on, and so should we eh?
