B-b-but the locals loved the game and its historical recreation. What happened?

Who did they hire as a PR firm? Satan?
With the same shitty gameplay and boring grinding quests.

Smart move, though cowardly. If they were planning on talking about Shadows at TGS they would get absolutely BODIED.

They did such a terrible job lol I still remember them using a katana from One Piece to promote the game

It's like every thing they do they manage to offend the community more. I can only imagine the more intelligent higher ups at Ubi seeing the news and going

Well, that's pretty fucked up

Or is UBI trying to say something along the lin..
no, that's just pretty fucked up to be honest, no matter how you swing it

I'm pretty sure I've seen thousands of those things half destroyed in various games and animes throughout the years.

If I were to tell you that Ubisoft hired Johnny Somali for PR and marketing, it'll all make sense.

They obviously didn't hire him, but no one would be surprised if it actually happened

You know, I think there is a way they can rescue this in the four odd months they have given themselves.
Cut out Yasuke and either get rid of or change the enemies he was needed for.
Naoe is fine. All the other games only had a single playable protagonist and they were at least nominally stealthy assassins, not warriors. Though maybe use a female name, lol.
Then also cut out all the stuff they didn't have permission to use, the culturally insensitive shit, and get details right like how to hold a brush and the seasons.

If they really wanted to sell the game, they could give Naoe a glowup, and make her a kunoichi. As far as I know, the only game that ever properly tried this was
So there's lots of themes/plot lines to explore there. But that's probably way too much work at this point.

If they wanted Ninja Assassin games they have plenty to choose from IMO for inspiration. Not sure why AC with a Ninja focus needs a Samurai. Though I think how things are depicted very much are the problem.

Would have found it a lot more interesting if they chose ancient China as a setting.

The controversies about AC Shadows would be nothing compared to the mess they would get into if the game was set in China.

While I agree, what does that have to do with finding it more interesting?

If they were to make the game in China Ubi would be very respectful and bend over backwards. Remember that Rainbow Six fiasco?
And isn’t Tencent a part owner? Ubi only does this shit to countries that they know won’t say anything or they can ignore.

Sure, I agree with that. Just pointing out how difficult that would be.
Bingo. It's not a Ubi thing but something akin to the liberal way of thinking. They shit only on countries or ideologies that don't fight back. We see that when criticizing "religions" (meaning: Christianism).
Despicable cowards.
