Thanks for the concern. But honestly I am not even that bothered lol.
Just said what is in mind regarding this shithole.
Being 42 and have family with 2 kids, I barely have time to play, let alone get concerned about stupid companies lol.
I never did. Learn to read and use your brain for once. I get that may be very hard for you, but I have faith that you can rub those last two remaining brain cells together to form a coherent critical thought.You said they were all locals......they werent.
Thats what I was pointing out.
Your justification for Black Flag and Rogue could easily be the same justifications for ACS.
Shadows is based around Yasuke and Naoe in Japan.
Yasuke is Black....historically in Japan.
Naoe is Japanese....fictionally in Japan.
Nobody is gaslighting you.
You stated they were locals, we can both read your post together and youll see it is in fact you attempting to gaslight me into thinking you didnt outright say all the previous games had protagonists who were locals.
Funny you further tell me to learn the history.
Lol.
I did quote your entire post, unless you have since edited it to add more.these games skipped my mind. But wow. a whopping 8. Some of which are over a decade old. And some of which you split screen time with other characters of other races.
And I like how you ignored the entire rest of my post.
Debate the rest of it
play the game or don’t. What a soft society.
Where is the racism?Japanese people aren't considered oppressed or 'kept down by the man' so it's absolutely fine to be racist against them. Like Jews, most other Asians and white people.
It's never about equality. It's about revenge for injustices.
What if in this game he starts out as a retainer and then becomes a Samurai?Don't you mean, the Black Retainer!?
I never did. Learn to read and use your brain for once. I get that may be very hard for you, but I have faith that you can rub those last two remaining brain cells together to form a coherent critical thought.
Does it matter? He carried a sword and literally fought for his lord.Don't you mean, the Black Retainer!?
The game isn't even out! What "due diligence" does it lack?Made in Japan by Japanese people who just thought a black samurai would be sick.
Shadows is made in the west by westerners who haven’t done their due diligence.
This was also cultural appropriation, of course - the ancient Egyptians weren't black.
Bayek and in my opinion he was an excellent lead character.
I'm personally really looking forward to seeing gameplay for AC:Shadows
To this day I cannot watch that BS show.You are telling me Western audiences haven't matured 50 years after the Bruce Lee - David Carradine thing?
No, it doesn't matter. I was being sarcastic.Does it matter? He carried a sword and literally fought for his lord.
You realize you replied to the same post three times?The game isn't even out! What "due diligence" does it lack?
Some of them were.This was also cultural appropriation, of course - the ancient Egyptians weren't black.
Once you go back there's no going back.Again, Asians getting the shaft when it comes to representation in western media.
I don't know who I should feel more sorry for. The Japanese players who feel like their own cultural heritage is being butchered by some uncultivated white Lefties, or the black Americans (and, possibly, many Africans, too) who feel like their being abused as some grotesque ideological shield for the insidious agendas of some white Lefties as if they didn't have a voice of their own to begin with.
Probably some others...LOL, there are NO others!Mafia 3 (great characters though, sucks that the game was filled with filler content, because it had such a great atmosphere, story, characters)
Deathloop
Probably some others if we keep searching.
No one said there were ton of this though I think, people are just disappointed that out of everything they could have picked for a japanese AC, they picked this. They should have waited for another episode where it would have been more fitting if they wanted another black lead character.
Yes, it's confirmed.Did they confirmed if yusuke is the fighting guy and the chick is the stealth character?
This could possibly happen a few times as the characters will be working together in the plot.I hope they can do both things without much difference because going from stealth to combat to stealth again is something that happen in ac games and i don't wanna be limited to only one playstyle per character, i want the flexibility to do both.
You switch GTA 5 style(or closer to Assassin's Creed Syndicate if you've played that game). They each have separate character story missions too, similar to GTA 5.How does the double character work? Do you chose at the beginning like odissey or you use one or the other depend on the mission or a gta5 switch?
Yasuke is having a moment. There was an anime, made by Japanese animators, talks of a movie, a character in other Japanese games. and a comic. It's a thing right, and that probably has more to do with it than DEI. Also, AC is far more popular in the West and thus has that audience in mind. If you have no issue with the Shogun tv show(Featuring cucked Japanese dudes) and Nioh, why would you have a problem with this? Is Shogun the produce of DEI?I don't understand the reasoning for changing the formula of main characters in AC games. They have always been completely fictional characters. Why use a real historical figure this time, using the only known black figure in japan at the time? Hell, even in this game they keep the original formula with the other lead. Why is the female fictional and not a real historical Japanese woman? I am sure they could have easily found one to base their character on? It just reeks of DEI.
William Adams was given a samurai title but he never put on armor and fought in battles. Yasuke actual did! It's also a darn good argument that you can rebut.Another very common SJW argument. Witcher has monsters in it so why not put in black people? Same with LOTR.
No dude i'm talking about normal gameplay outside of story missions, if i assault a camp i wanna be able to do what i did in the past games without switching a character.Yes, it's confirmed.
This could possibly happen a few times as the characters will be working together in the plot.
You switch GTA 5 style. They each have separate character story missions too, like GTA 5.
Yep, they put that on ALL the AC games but now it's an issue?Ubisoft think they can get away with rewriting/distorting history by using the disclaimer below:
That's it, why would you be outraged about something you have no connection to?I'm not Black nor Japanese, if I was either of those I would probably be annoyed by this.
I get why Japanese gamers don't like Ubi's choice of a protagonist. I also think it's weird how Ubisoft doesn't make a AC game in south Africa or something with a black protagonist, instead they make the protagonist of the Japanese AC black, almost like Ubi thinks Africa doesn't have interesting settings or people in its history.
I know. I'm saying according to their words, yes, you can do that full camp assault as one character. I was adding context that some story missions might force you to use both considering their relationship in the story.No dude i'm talking about normal gameplay outside of story missions, if i assault a camp i wanna be able to do what i did in the past games without switching a character.
This is exactly what they're doing as stated.It would be moronic to limit only one gameplay style to one character
The answer to this is a soft no. To compare this to an RPG, Yasuke is a tank. Naoe is a thief/assassin. Maybe (and this is a big maybe), you could slowly walk up behind unsuspecting enemies as Yasuke and do a strong/critical hit, Souls-style, but we don't know yet if this is a thing. That's a level of nuance to the gameplay they probably won't get into until they show footage at their Summer Games Fest presentation.What if i don't wanna use the chick but i still wanna do some stealth?
They are saying that most of it you can play with either character, however there will be specific character story quests where you will be locked to one or the other.can i only play the entire game as an action game with yusuke? Fuck that.
But there's nothing stopping them from doing it. And going by the trailer the lead is the lady plus the Black guy.Let's flip this around. Japanese developers are willing to put a white man as a protagonist front and centre but Ubisoft aka (the company hast all thy cultures and backgrounds) is unable to do the opposite for an asian man but are more than happy to represent every other Assassin based in their homeland.
You know, I would give this a pass had Basim become the main character in Vallhalla instead of that garbage, overpriced side game. It would've set the stage for the change in formula.
aslo gay, you can't make this shit up
Another classic case of gaying up video games. Yeesh.
Gay black samurai in feudal japan.
Holy shit.
Can you link to the twitter post where they said this? I can't seem to find it and there's no hour mark on the image.Beyond parody.
Because the char in Nioh is male. And male asian protag is hard to sell in the west.
So the choice is make him foreigner or change to female.
Yes AC is fiction based on reality... completely differente from fighting demons in a anime type of world...there is no need to be disingenuous to try and prove a fallen point. Try harderAC is also fantasy but tell more about your clear double standards.
this is surely fake right?aslo gay, you can't make this shit up
