they have ronin, why GoTOn the positive side, AC Shadows will boost Ghost of Tsushima sells even more.
That's good.

That's good.
Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, this is why I think it's an interesting choice for a characterHave you realised that is the first time that we HAVE to play as a "real" historical person?
Also if I'm not wrong all the yasuke story was fabricated and Ubisoft fell for it with all their team.
Then again interesting character why? Cause it is almost completely invented? Why not make a new person like the old game and write a good story with it?
Yes. That's why it's interesting. It's a very 'oh, that's odd. An african "samurai" in japan. Haven't seen that before' hook.
I don't know much about the background but it makes me think the story will be told from an outsider's perspective. How did he end up there, what will that aspect of his character change in the narrative, and so on. If you were a writer given that pitch, I'm pretty sure you would find it an interesting challenge.
Though it's Ubisoft so I'm not expecting it to be used to any notable extent
News Flash: this wasn't a big deal when they chose William in Nioh and he was the only option. At least in Assassin's Creed you have another native protagonist.
Resident Evil 5 exists and uh it's probably never going to receive a remaster release because Capcom is afraid of being canceled in 2024I'd like to see Ubisoft make an AC game in Africa then have an eastern Asian as main character killing all these bad African NPCs , DEI FTW!!!!!
Yes, you missed the part when Ubisof in the beginning claimed that the game is historically accurate.Did I miss something ?
'Complete mockery of history' its AC? In the first game there were clones, aliens and such and such. Second game had flying machines dropping bombs...
Ac has never been accurate. Why is now an issue?
Did Ubisoft consult with local historians to make the game? if the answer is "no" their multicultural team notice is just as bullshit as the arguments of the people who defend this.
But Yasuke was a real dude, he was a real retainer for Nobunaga. Why is it an issue to be in Japan where he lived and got his name?I suppose you are playing dumb but anyway, the issue isn't historical accuracy it's black representation.
The real problem being of course extreme bad faith all across the board.
AC always had historical figures, events and correct architecture from the times and places they depicted. The overarching storyline also had crazy scifi elements and historical tie-ins.
It's only a short while ago that people started to play dumb omitting one side of the coin or the other, to further their agenda, which is the same for both sides : censoring what they don't like from the other side.
You're playing dumb, they are playing dumb, and everyone else is watching a downxican standoff wondering how two sides battling each other can be losing at the same time.
But Yasuke was a real dude, he was a real retainer for Nobunaga. Why is it an issue to be in Japan where he lived and got his name?
'The Japanese woman is his sidekick' i am not getting that vibe at all, it's 2 playable characters, or where the twins in Syndicate one sidekick and one main hero?
I don't see the issue, Afro Samurai was great, Samurai Champloo was awesome, why is now an issue?
Edit: to the other poster, I mean but AC had never been a good metric for historical accuracy. Ever.
No brain left to rot in that head I'm afraid.Dude stop watching too much porn it will rot your brain
It does, you can play as a Japanese woman whose gameplay is more classic ACProbably because of all AC games, this one features a main character that is not Japanese.
I mean we can look at real world examples...You guys need to dial it down a bit. You either dismiss the Internet hive mind as woke that has no bearing in reality or you acknowledge the online reception as illustrative of the real world. You can’t have it both ways.
We only have records that show he was in Japan for a total of three years. Your claim is not supported by the facts.And Yasuke is also Japanese. He was a slave, freed and lived most of his life in Japan.
Why did Hogwarts, Stellar Blade and Black Myth Wukong sell so well?
Resident Evil 5 exists and uh it's probably never going to receive a remaster release because Capcom is afraid of being canceled in 2024
From the outside looking in, with no other info outside of what's posted in this thread, it just looks like people hating on a game because a black person is in it.
It actually looks like that with many of these anti woke Crusades.
Her book is called "Tales of Idolized Boys: Male-Male Love in Medieval Japanese Narratives"Yes, they consulted a Japanese LGBTQ+ activist Sachi Schmidt-Hori, she is known for her books depicting romantic relationships between Buddhist priests and adolescent boys.
Ok, agreed, thus my point exactly - online reaction doesn't say much.Look at all these games that pander to the woke audience, the common theme is nobody buys them. If you listen to works telling us about this "modern audience" Dustborn should have sold millions.
I was literally just thinking that to myself. We all know hip-hop music is second to only the school girl fetish in Japan.clearly not enough hip-hop music used in the trailer.

I'm sure you guys talked about this somewhere else, but the funniest shit is the blatant attempt at botting positive comments for the game Ubisoft did on the international trailer.
Here's the usual Asmongold clip covering the topic really shortly:
Sorry but I don't give a shit. He's not the topic.God I hate that guy so much. Fuck Asmonclown
>Arrived in Japan in his late 20sIt does, you can play as a Japanese woman whose gameplay is more classic AC
And Yasuke is also Japanese. He was a slave, freed and lived most of his life in Japan. If i lived 90% of my life in Ireland I would consider myself Irish as well.
Hint: It's not really about historical accuracy.Did I miss something ?

Yeah, no.
I'm getting the vibe it's just racismHint: It's not really about historical accuracy.
Do you really think these people are aggrieved history buffs?

Why don't they just change the skin of the character. Lol its easy, ubisoft is dumb.
He is long gone and dead. So uh sure?No he is not, he will never be seen as a true Japanese.
My dad was Irish, he and my 4 uncles had to leave Ireland and move to England and lived their lives and died in England as most of the Irish have always done, does that mean they are no longer Irish because they didn't live there since they were late teens ?, no they were still Irish and always were.It does, you can play as a Japanese woman whose gameplay is more classic AC
And Yasuke is also Japanese. He was a slave, freed and lived most of his life in Japan. If i lived 90% of my life in Ireland I would consider myself Irish as well.
Maybe in the US or Canada or other western countries. This isn't how it works in Japan. To their eyes, a foreign-born person will never be Japanese, let alone one who has moved to Japan when he was a full adult. I don't even think Yasuke would have ever viewed himself as Japanese. I know people who have emigrated to Japan and have been there for two decades and still don't consider themselves Japanese. Hell, you can even take it a step further. There are Japanese-born East Asians (Koreans, Vietnamese, Chinese, etc) who have been in Japan for generations and Japanese is their mother tongue and they still do not consider themselves Japanese, nor do the locals view them as such.Sounds like a normal immigration story yes.

You know what's racist?
Putting in hiphop music because the game features a black person.
As if every black person loves hiphop.
Roxkis_ii you should not come back to respond, that way MMaRsu comes back and gets upset at your single post yet again and quotes it a third time lol.
Lol no it's not. If it was a while person and they added rock songs to the soundtrack, no one would blink an eye.
I tried, but the bait was too good! Lol
This was my take since the beginning, it's kind of unfair that Japan doesn't get two Japanese characters. There's so much bloat in these games that Yasuke could've easily have been a third character or standalone DLC.this video is kinda long but just the opening 5 minutes or so already shown why it's an issue. everyone of the previous AC game's protagonist all fits the nationality of the settings of the game, so why is this one different? why do you have to change this game? you can make the two main protagonist both Japanese but from different side of the waring states and still archived the same story.
