Nah, same generic Ubisoft checklist game.
Multiplayer looks cool though. I should try it some time.

I am interested in a samurai revenge story video game. Those are the trailers that I've seen for the game.
Whatever politics that the developers and you gamers put in there is your problem. I'll be enjoying a fictional video game. Shame you won't be doing the same because of your people politics nonsense.

TLOU2 and ND are extremely successful, numerous GOTY awards and sold millions and have/had a hit TV show. I'm sure SP wants to feel whatever ND felt, most studios are envious of their success.
OP lives in a GAF and US bubble and thinks most people give a shit about our politics over here. The game will sell extremely well worldwide and sell to normies who don't keep up with gaming news or politics.
Ghost of Yotei will do just fine if it manages to nail the things that made Ghost of Tsushima a success.

Policing candidates social media is checking speech and thought. Not cool.
Radical thought: Maybe have a conversation with your candidates? Because if they are prepared to broadcast their views to the world via social media, I have little doubt about their candour in person! Not to mention dress and demeanour tend to be a giveaway.
Identitarian types are never subtle. They like to broadcast their affiliation because they are so blinded by their moral certainty and self-righteousness.
You're creating a straw man by mixing in sexual deviants with purveyors of opinions you don't like. Especially as criminal deviants will try and hide their tracks its a false equivalence with what's actually being discussed, which is a question on what the extents of free speech and expression are.
My issue is really simple: If you say its OK for employers to only select candidates they share politics with, you will end up with balkanization and inevitably ideological compaction cycles as people within the organization sense devotion to the prevailing ideology is an important indicator of status and acceptance.
Switching polarities just sets the chain reaction off in the opposite direction with the end-stage just as catastrophically unhinged.
Said it before, and I'll say it again: Sanity lies in the centre, where polar swings can happen but stay within sane and civil limits.

First you have to pay for consultants to tell you what politics to put in the game
Now you have to pay for consultants to tell you not to put politics in the game

Don't worry people will defend it, they tell you it's sold millions more then what they announce(if they even do announce numbers) with a "trust me bro" source.
And they'll continue to make another game you'd likely not buy.
Because it will do well enough, maybe not as good as the original although people will say it did.
But enough to not learn from it and to ignore the people that didn't buy it.
Question is, do you care?

This is exactly what they mean. My guess is, in this hyper partisan environment that it'll be proven partly but not wholly true, they will ride out most the storm on the memory and success of the prior, that is recalled fondly. Sure some won't play it for the above reasons, but many will still. However if it is indeed as ideologically driven as some fear then the bad taste it leaves will sour the subsequent game, but not so much this game. My guess is GoY will be relatively successful with a weaker long tail than GoT, and their subsequent game will take a larger hit. But games take a long time to make and culture is ever changing….also ai may get dev costs back to something reasonable by then at which point companies can afford to appeal to any ideology they want.

Similar to the Last of Us 2, I think this sequel will sell well, but ultimately less than the 1st, and people won't look back on it as fondly.
The game just does the fantasy of being a samurai or ninja better than Ubisoft can pull off. Ghost of Tsushima does have some similar problems with bland side-quests and activities you do, but the art style is more vibrant at selling the setting, and the core gameplay being combat is just FAR better than any AC game. Even the stealth elements are more fun, with the AI breaking less often than I've seen in Shadows.
My bigger issue is it looks like too much of the same, and I'll wait for a discount or the PC version.

I'm convinced this community doesn't even like video games.

Nope. Clearly didnt play if your lumping everything into Ubi-tier…GoT has very VERY small amounts of collectathon stuff and considerably better side quests.
Clearly you never played.

Played it. Same shit. Those standoffs with the mongols were fun the first few times. Otherwise it was the same loop of talking to x and killing y and clearing out encampments. There are like 6 different enemy types. The game is repetitive as hell. Don't hit me with the "you didn't play it" bullshit.
Doesn't matter it has less stuff to collect. The side content is just as dull and uninteresting.

I can't predict the future besides that I won't be buying Ghost of Yotei any time soon. It'll sell regardless of my purchase though.

If SP had completely changed the gameplay, everyone here would complain that it was too different from its predecessor and therefore utter crap that deserved a different name.
Seriously, as long as Ghost of Yotei offers another enjoyable exploration of Japan with cool fights and a nice atmosphere, I'm happy. I'm still skeptical about the lead actress, but as long as her real-life agenda remains in the background and it's all about bloody revenge, everything's fine.
agreed, I'm guessing the game will still sell millions. I might buy the game at a much later time though, but I just never got interested in it.

I didn't care much about the stupid mentally ill voice actor as long as the in game character wasn't like her, but it is kinda funny she's being called a terrorist now. ha!
She said her and her wife are antifa, and now Trump is talking about making antifa a terrorist organization.
Of all the random shitstorm stuff pre-release, I didn't have that on my bingo card.
