Yes, the leads at Sucker Punch were honored as permanent official ambassadors of the island of Tsushima.A far cry from Ghost of Tsushima where the Japanese were super impressed that a Western studio was able to pull it off.
True. It's just a case of little things adding up to make it unauthentic. I personally wouldn't notice anything if it wasn't pointed out. Still interesting though and more bad PR for the game before launch.I don't think ubisoft were ever going for historical accuracy. It's just a setting or a theme to them.

Well, yeah. One game was obviously made due to the devs' love and passion for a Japanese setting and Japanese history. The other game was made because they've been asked repeatedly for years and want to get it out of the way.Yes, the leads at Sucker Punch were honored as permanent official ambassadors of the island of Tsushima.
I thought Unity and Syndicate were pretty well done in those aspects.I don't think ubisoft were ever going for historical accuracy. It's just a setting or a theme to them.
saw that few days ago and after that YT offered some banger =D
I could have sworn they taught us how the Pope tried to kick Ezio's ass in Sunday School.I can't recall a single AC game being historically accurate, but it's the first time it seems to have bothered people.
Japan is very particular about its culture, hence why it still has one.I can't recall a single AC game being historically accurate, but it's the first time it seems to have bothered people.
There was when Odyssey hit and the recon they did when they, at the time, tried passing it off as historically accurate down to an in-game museum, only to backtrack and use the "depiction" labels going forward.I can't recall a single AC game being historically accurate, but it's the first time it seems to have bothered people.
I can understand the Japanese being pissed off in this case, but the west seems even more so.Japan is very particular about its culture, hence why it still has one.
"Killing innocent civilians will cause desynchronization"I mean, it can't be worse than the tame, good guys vikings we had in valhalla inaccuracy wise...
Ubi wasn't going for accuracy. They were going for a power fantasy.
Progressive and moral lady viking lords who only rape and pillage monasteries that deserve it for being Christian. Embarrassing, but we definitely haven't hit rock bottom yet!I mean, it can't be worse than the tame, good guys vikings we had in valhalla inaccuracy wise...
That was so baffling to me. I'm pretty sure I went on huge killing sprees in Odyssey. I also pillaged far more loot in Odyssey!"Killing innocent civilians will cause desynchronization"
Thanks Ubi
Even if you don't play the lady, some characters still refer to you as a woman. Apparently that's the canon option.Progressive and moral lady viking lords who only rape and pillage monasteries that deserve it for being Christian. Embarrassing, but we definitely haven't hit rock bottom yet!
The worse thing is that valhlla sold more than any other ac game so ubisoft REALLY didn't learned the lesson here...That was so baffling to me. I'm pretty sure I went on huge killing sprees in Odyssey. I also pillaged far more loot in Odyssey!

Honestly, I think Valhalla's one of the worst games I've ever played, and it makes me want to never touch the series again.
hmmm ??? for me it has english subs oOChinese subs for Japan? Lmao
How can you get that wrong?! You're literally making a game about them.
The music video is referencing a controversy where Ubisoft released an AC Shadows video for the Japanese market with hardcoded Chinese subtitles.hmmm ??? for me it has english subs oO

Hope they make an assassins creed uganda or congo and put a white lead together with several african history mistakes... pretty sure "bothering" will be a huge understatement for the reaction of the western mainstream media.I can't recall a single AC game being historically accurate, but it's the first time it seems to have bothered people.
ohh i missunderstood then my badThe music video is referencing a controversy where Ubisoft released an AC Shadows video for the Japanese market with hardcoded Chinese subtitles.

I'm equally concerned about doors to nowhere, floating doors, etc. It looks like the environments were designed by AI.Watched this yesterday. It's very nitpicky but some of those are just downright disrespectful if you're knowledgeable about Japanese culture. Some are just plain agriculture and seasonal knowledge that it's baffling Ubisoft got them wrong.
Like they've made so many AC games before so why get basic stuff wrong now of all times.
SJW's never sleep.I can understand the Japanese being pissed off in this case, but the west seems even more so.

I'm sure the Egypt one was praised for its museum mode that highlighted real object, unless I dreamt thatI can't recall a single AC game being historically accurate, but it's the first time it seems to have bothered people.
It's about Ubi making Chinese subs for the Japanese audience at least according to the music video I quoted. Not the actual video itself with the banger music.hmmm ??? for me it has english subs oO
E: im stoopid ^^

Can you imagine a white lead killing black people in assasins creed africa ? LoL... the guy that piches that in Ubi is banned from the industry in the next day ... and people want to question japanese trying to call attention for their culture disrespect.Assassin's Creed Boers
Do it, UbiSoft.
Reading Japanese novels can be eye-opening. You get insight into all the things Japanese people are silently judging each other about under the veil of politeness. Must be stressful to know everyone else is scrutinizing you with those same thoughts, hence the culture of perfectionism.That lady is remarkably perceptive.
The sword not in the sheath, the floating door, the staircase to nowhere, the floating bullet, the barricaded door; the list of nonsense is huge.
Devs must hate her.

It's freeing to be an American and not worry so much about such things in day to day life.
Yeah, too much pressure all around. Similarly in South Korea. There was a famous case where a North Korean girl escaped to SK, was initially relieved to escape her oppressors but later committed suicide because of the stressful and ultra-competitive SK school environment. That really says something about the conditions young people are under.Don't they have like the highest amount of young suicides over there because of the constant pressure?
I lived and worked in Japan for 10 years and they are always judging on how someone looks. If I got 6 hours of sleep instead of 8 and had slightly darker circles under my eyes, I could count on at least 5 blunt comments from coworkers about how I had "kuma" eyes that day (bear eyes, i.e. dark circles around eyes).Reading Japanese novels can be eye-opening.

Everybody living in the nordic countries cringed and did a facepalm when they realized that they gave the male viking in AC Valhalla a woman's name. Would've taken the dev team about 3 seconds of research to get that right, like ask anybody living there:Some are just plain agriculture and seasonal knowledge that it's baffling Ubisoft got them wrong.
