Ok, so what was wrong with it? Did they throw in a bunch of Japanese people and add in a Japanese themed soundtrack despite claiming it was based on historically accurate source material?

Japanese Culture (I'm an Expert)
Japanese Culture (I'm an Expert) refers to a copypasta which spread primarily on NeoGAF making fun of a poster who claimed to be an expert on Japanese cult

Nothing other than it wasn't historically correct if you want to get all funny over Julius Caesar.
Not that I ever played anything game from Capcom or any Assassin's Creed game for historical accuracy, where's is the fun in that?
So don't get the fuss over this new game, other than a couple of sad Japanese people needing to get a life and a grip
It's only a videogame

Breath of the Wild had Ubi towers in it. Their impact on the medium is undeniable. “The Message” has obliterated more companies than just Ubisoft. We told them so, but no one listens to us.
Ubi can return to greatness. I can see this being the end, but who benefits from that?

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I won't be surprised if AC Shadows is actually a decent game, gameplay-wise. I won't buy it Day 1 though. Not supporting the woke bullshit they're pulling.

According to the online discourse from Era the games are fire, so they will probably flop
Just because westerners hate their own history, it does not mean that everybody is like this
In fact on the west you will get more backlash but praising the past.

I saw Cockatrice at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.I don't have a sense of humour when it comes to lame jokes. My bad.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Did they ever make any statements pertaining to historical accuracy or state that the intention of the game was for it to be a historically accurate representation of Rome in the period it was set in?
It's not about what you do. The issue here is that Ubisoft want to state their games are heavily inspired and influenced by real history. If they want to take the liberties they have with AC Shadows then they should just say they are throwing all of that out the window and it's purely based on fiction.
If only it were just a couple of a Japanese people who don't like what they see happening here.

I still think Japan are way sensitive where they take liberties on their own culture and others as well. Is it really that that bad?

Make good product. Product sells
Make shit product. It doesn't
If you keep making shit product, you get fired. Maybe someone else will make better product. If you got fired, try another field

What’s funny is they took Japan, the setting people have talked about since AC1 came out, to screw up.

Japanese people loved samurai Tom Cruise though.

Clearly TGS are western trolls and Japan still loves Ubisoft and how they will present their culture and history accurately. Clearly.

This is nonsense. Have you spoken to Japanese people? I have and they have a big issue with Yasuke as the main character. Every other AC game has had a protagonist from where it takes place and they were never real people. Japanese people wanted to play as a Japanese guy in their AC game. They feel there's zero need for Yasuke to be the main guy other than forced DEI. They also hate how his story is completely embellished nonsense. Also if you're gonna use a real life person that was not gay, giving them the option to be gay in the game is extremely disrespectful. Yasuke is the main issue Japanese gamers have, the other stuff is just extra fuel for the fire.

It's quite a sight the diversity champions asking foreigners to shut the fuck up while shitting on their culture.
I am shocked, guys. Shocked.

Wimps, they should've leant into the current backlash and come on stage with that song by 'The Vapors' playing.

I doubt you've bought half of Ubisoft games this last year or so.
Oh and btw making game products doesn't always sell as we saw with games like Gravity Rush, Beyond Good and Evil, Okami
I don't think Ubisoft did so either or you're going to tell me that Animus is an actual historically correct device *rollseyes*

Tell that to the poor sods that suffered under the Japanese during WW 2.
All counties and cultures have skeletons in their closet.

The last UBI game I bought was that shitty Crew game that had infantile writing and was made by a committee of woke wankers. More fool me eh
Oh, and let's not forget what they did with the original Crew game, no, that was the last straw for me. Run a business where you piss on your customers? Don't expect any tears when you're failing
They wanted to go down the 'modern audience' route too. Sucks to be them I guess.
And?
You're acting like people have a duty to buy products? If the games didn't sell well, they don't sell well
Welcome to capitalism. Better luck next time.
What do you actually want to happen in this capitalist framework we're in if you work on products that don't sell?
A job for life?
How would that work?

I have japanese friends. They are more concerned about the architectural inaccuracies inaccuracies and could care less about yasuke being one of the main characters. You have clearly never spoken to all japanese people and are already wrong. I bet you also believe that the japanese govt is investigating the game just because some small fry in the NHK party that doesn't even control japan said that he is investigating, right?
