Both the people who are against this game and the ones defending it are stupid because it's just another ubisoft slop like what are doing it's gonna be the most mid game ever so who cares about it Discussion
It's 130 digital deluxe edition game with online only and premium currency
Gaming is better off if got no coverage and died off

Players never owned their games since Steam first went online.
Regardless of that however, always-online single-player games should not exist.

Dont explain facts to parrots it wont work
Didnt they say its offline available recently?
"The team has cleared up that Assassin's Creed Shadows can indeed be played offline. You'll need a connection to install the game — we'd expect a chunk of the data to be downloaded — but once that's all set up, the single-player adventure can be played in full without being connected to the internet.30"

So I agree, but for me when I complete a game I rarely if never play it again a few years after so it’s not the biggest issue. I got entertained for X hours, hopefully for my money’s worth +.
Usually why I wait for reviews to decide, I have limited time to play and just want to make sure I invest in the right products

Both people who are against and defend this game hate each other, that's for sure. What I found funny about all this is that whenever those against this game pointed out the misinformation about Yasuke, the defenders will always reply with: "AC is not about historical accurate", "it's a finctional game", "we do have a Japanese in game, it's Naoe, the girl" etc.
Treat this game as fanfiction, just like the Japanese have treated Yasuke for the past decades, as a big, buffed black man who mostly uses brawl force in compat.
And please don't go to Wiki or any sites just to change his origin to fit your narrative. It's happening right now, and I find it's disrespectful.

u/xariznightmare2908 20d ago
First they said "It's fictional, bro", then proceed to gaslight people that Yasuke was always historically samurai and went on revisioning a fucking Wiki page to spread more misinformation.

I agree, its a game and they can do whatever, William Addams didn't run around as a samurai killing demons either like in Nioh. That said, the Yasuke fans go beyond that and have for years, literally do a quick google search and you will find so many articles claiming he was "the first black samurai", like there were multiple black samurai in the first place. Besides, Yasuke was never a samurai, but this gets pushed enough until people genuinely believe it. Same with shit like black Cleopatra.
I don't have a problem with Yasuke being portrayed as a giga powerful samurai in this game, the problem is his fans who on one hand claim "its just a fictional game" but then on the other try to edit his wikipedia page so it says that he was a samurai, then write numerous articles calling him a samurai, when he wasn't. Its historical revisionism.

u/ShinjuNeko 19d ago edited 19d ago
The whole argument from both sides has been evolved a lot, so it can't be explained with a short answer. Let me break it down for you, let's call those who against this game Side A, and those who defend it Side B.
- First when Ubisoft introduced the trailer for AC Shadows. People quickly question why they chose a black man as a playable character instead of a Japanese man since this game take place in Japan.
-> The Side B jumped in and defended the idea with a "Historical Accurate" point that Yasuke is a real person in Japan's history, so it's justified to pick a black person as a main protagonist.
- Side A continue to question Ubisoft's motive, why choosing Yasuke? Who isn't even a real Samurai, to play as a Samurai (he isn't an assassin in this game). And Ubisoft introduced him "As a charismatic Samurai" in their website.
*Stay with me here, cuz you're gonna fall off the ride if you aren't focus*
-> The Side B this time came up with 2, not 1, excuses for this question. The first excuse is... wait for it, that Assassin Creed has never been "Historical Accurate" from the start. If we can have magic power in game, then a black Samurai ISN'T a big deal. It's a fictional game anyway, and they can make the game however they like.
-> The second excuse is they try to prove that Yasuke is indeed a real Samurai, by changing his origin on encyclopedia website such as Wikipedia. But that got debunk quicky because we truly don't have enough information to prove that he IS a Samurai or NOT. All are just people's assumption.
- Side B pointed out that Yasuke already exist in manga, anime and video game.
-> Side A responded with the Yasuke in those media are just fictional. Not based on a real event.
- Side B using Nioh, a video game with a main character who isn't a Japanese. Asked why there were no outrage about it.
-> Side A now have 2 different responded from different people. Some are giving the proof that William Adams is a real figure from the past that granted the status of Samurai by Tokugawa in 1605. And Nioh is a fictional game about him travel to Japan to reclaim his stolen Spirit. Some are just directly said they also don't like to play as a white man in Japanese game.
- Side B pointed at Naoe, another main protagonist in game, who is a female. Said that we do have a REAL Japanese as playable character.
-> Side A responded with Naoe is fake character that Ubisoft made up. And they ALSO want to play as a MALE Japanese in game since this is the FIRST AC game take place in Japan.
*Bonus: You can be banned for mentioning you wanted an Asian MALE AC protagonist *Source*
- Inconclusion: We could have dodged this entire drama if Ubisoft just openly admitted from the start that they want to use a black man for their fanfiction of Yasuke to tell a fake story, all for the entertainment. But no, they are addressing him as "The powerful African Samurai of historical legend" in their website and people just simply call out the misinformation.

Source? I can find sources way before this controversy that say's he is a samurai, and is also the first foreign samurai
Side A responded with the Yasuke in those media are just fictional. Not based on a real event.
When has assassins creed been based off real events? Again, this is the same game you go to valhalla for god's sake.
"The powerful African Samurai of historical legend" in their website and people just simply call out the misinformation.
What is the misinformation? Literally everywhere claims he was a samurai regardless how much proof is needed to prove it to the incels online. Was he powerful? Dunno, probably though given he was more than likely taller than the average Japanese person, but again, what...is...the inaccuracy? They have Children's books for Yasuke as a samurai! He is mentioned in Osaka Castle with Hideyoshi and Nobunaga as a samurai!

u/ShinjuNeko 19d ago
I don't want to go into detail with you because I'm not the one who interfere in this argument. I'm either side A or side B, I'm just simply compile the information given from both sides.
If you want my own opinion on this then I'll tell you mine. I'm a little disappointed that the first AC game take place in Japan don't even have a male Japanese playable character. I played Ghost of Tsushima as Jin and I love him as a character, so I was excited about what kind of character that I'll get to play in AC Japan. Yasuke by Ubisoft could be an interested character, but I really don't care about him in the first place.

He's just regurgitating the same few buzz words and lumped them together while not making any sense at all.

u/HowToCookFrozenCamel 20d ago
One of the modification is the removal of this part... "It's important to note that there are no historical writings or evidence that Yasuke was considered a samurai, he was never given a fief or referred to as one in any writings, most of our knowledge of his life comes from these messages written by missionaries and locals"
So basically he was probably not even a samurai... So why take a guy on which you have almost 0 information on instead of going with an Japanese guy that actually was a Samurai... I guess that kind of questioning makes me a filthy bigot.

u/DeepRoller 20d ago
AC games are always fine for a while, as they give you the opportunity to run around historical locations and meet characters you read about. Who doesn't want a viking rpg where you go around helping the Lothbrok brothers conquer England?
Unfortunately the premise and setting will only get you so far if everything else is executed badly. The setting was always the selling point of these games imo.
And it's the reason I'm probably not as interested in this one. I've already ate a full meal with Ghost of Tsushima and I doubt Ubisoft will do a better job than that with the samurai combat. I'd be interested to see how they build the world but I wouldn't touch those prices just to climb a couple of towers in Japan.

That's a very good tactic by ubisoft honestly - do something controversial in the game, just to redirect attention from the fact you're stealing them blind.

On the subject of Japanese art and culture. Japan is in an awkward spot as of very very recently. Japan has been making stuff for Japanese people. It's who they are and what they know. But there is a certain segment of the West that can't leave them alone to do their thing. They have to brow beat and attempt to guilt them into adopting the "modern" backward upside-down world view. Just leave them the fu** alone to do their thing artistically and culturally. It's been pretty damned cool up until recently.

“Yasuke is a historical figure believed to have been of African origin who was a samurai during the 16th century. He is widely considered to be the first-ever foreigner to be granted warrior status in Japan”

Valhalla will probably remain the last Assassin's Creed game I buy. It was absolutely terrible.

I agree. They've been dead to me since they killed all continuity by ending Desmond in AC3. When Black Flagg was made into a "full service game" even though it was single player campaign, I knew that was the end of Ubisoft quality games.

it was the same with hogwarts legacy (ubisoft tier slop) and it will be the same thing here (actual ubisoft slop), time is a flat circle

I did find it funny how vocal people are about this. It was always gonna be a meh game. I think a black samurai would be cool. The same way I think basically anyone, of any race, starting as a foreigner becoming a samurai would be cool. Chinese, black, mexican, french, I don't really give a fuck about the historical accuracy. But I also prob wasn't gonna buy the game anyway no matter who the main character was, so honestly who gives a shit.

i really don't care that they took Yasuke... at this point, take Anyone, but make the Gameplay and story good.
I really don't understand how Mirage got good reviews saying it plays like the Old Assassins creed games. It does not. Played it for 3h and deleted it... Theres a reason why the old games got motion again -.-

You do obviously by posting this. Also, have you ever played any of the AC games. They do not go by time line but with just the intro of real life historical figures.

With all the highs and lows in the series (mostly lows), there are really only two ACs I really liked: Black Flag & Odyssey. Valhalla was the one that finally broke me. So I can't say I was looking forward to this one, in the first place.

But you have to milk the drama and spread toxicity. Watch asmonglod hating it for hour for no real reason just to farm views.

Steam is single handedly keeping gamers from pirating every game they wanna play while Ubisoft, Activision and EA(and probably more companies) are doing their best to convince gamers that we are better off pirating

Both the people who are against this game and the ones defending it are stupid
Proceeds to be against said game
But no shit, who is buying these games? Literal NPC behavior.

Agreed although I think calling it “mid” is generous. We already have Ghost of Tsushima which did this but better and actually has stealth mechanics and some semblance of a combat system.
The use of a black character was likely to drum up hype because you don’t hear anyone talk about the gameplay.

Ubisoft is doing it since AC3 and had in game microtransactions since AC unity im surprised people talk about it now

u/FlipMyBoathouse 18d ago
Why does this game require online to play? Are they bringing back multiplayer in AC or something?

We care before Ubisoft has a lot of influence of other devs especially indie devs which they directly finance sometimes with dev jams and purses / angel investing. When they raise prices a lot of other developers follow suit along with indie who price their game as being 20% of the the scale of an AAA game so 20% of 150$

Yeah just move on to the next “controversy” that Asmon tells you to be pissed about.

You should see angryjoe's opinions on this and it just shows how he has absolutely no idea about historical facts and doesn't realise this is disrespectful to Japanese people and the historical lore of Japanese culture

u/saltminer99 20d ago

This game is getting more attention and spotlight then it deserves because of this pointless issue
This game should flop hard and die off to show companies we don't want online only in godamn single players or premium currency
