Ubisoft CAUGHT Changing Yasuke Wikipedia: Assassins Creed Shadows DEI Agenda EXPOSED!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives have become increasingly prominent in the chatter around the entire video game industry these days. While these efforts were once thought of as essential for fostering a more inclusive environment, people are coming to realize that there are instances where their implementation can feel forced or incongruent with the source material.
A recent example of this is Ubisoft's latest installment in the Assassin's Creed series: "Assassin's Creed: Shadows", which features a black samurai character in Sengoku-era Japan. This decision has sparked some obvious debate among fans and former industry insiders, highlighting the challenges of balancing DEI with... well.. historical authenticity. Even more controversy is happening over at Wikipedia right now over the historical representation of Samurai, leading to noticeable changes on the site. It is now diverging significantly from the traditional understanding of Samurai as disciplined warriors adhering to the Bushido code.

Wikipedia no longer has any validity, if it ever has.
It had. early 2000 it made poor kids worldwide discover how to learn by giving access to an encyclopedia like middle class an up had for decades.
Too bad it was deemed a valuable tool for Open Society Foundation...
It never did. Colleges from as far back as 10 years would tell you to not use Wikipedia as a source of information and if you did, you’d lose marks.
It's owned by you know who and ishrael, This is as real as historical revisionism from mentally ill moshianic blackrock people financing now and controlling japanese studios are for the last 7 years. And no, it's not because they have funded yasuke's anime and forced it in that it makes it real, got to learn who's putting money behind this and what their agenda are.
@@Optimusj1975 amazingly my original reply to you was deleted. It was about how one of the original co-founders of Wikipedia left early on because....
Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia said himself they have a left leaning bias and the editors can use pins like those roles you get on discord. There's a surprisingly large amount of self proclaimed marxists editing articles over there
its a race to the bottom with all these AAA devs
lol race
It’s strange that people who are all for diversifying everything also oppose colonialism and cultural appropriation, yet are perfectly fine with colonising and appropriating other nations’ history.
not just that they're okay with colonizing and appropriating other cultures and history, but they weaponize their culture for ideological and political purposes to "force behavioral change"
The main thing it's not about yasuke specifically since he was a real historical figure, but the fact that he has nothing to do with the assassin brotherhood. Naoe makes more sense because shinobis are similar to assassins, yasuke it's just a black eivor that fights among the assassins because hehehehe I'm friend with the woman
@@user-hx9lb5sw7eyep just blackwashing as everything nowadays, representing them as some form of God 😂 just look at some ads
@@user-hx9lb5sw7e Actually, the artist gets to decide what their art is about. You don't.
@@The_Omnipotent_Lurk You're not going to force artists to create what you want. It'll never happen. They create what they want to. You have a choice to pick which artist's art you want to experience. But if you want specific art, you make it yourself.
Theoretically the Japanese government could take them to court like the Egyptian one did to Netflix over misrepresentation of national history.
No, because Ubisoft is selling this as a work of fiction and Netflix sold it as a documentary.
@@Lord_Laskov Gotcha
No, AC isn't claiming to be historical or in any way accurate. It has never been so and never has tried to be so. These people in the comments and this youtuber just have never played AC.
They would have to first sue ever japanese devs who ever made samurai games. In reality they can't because none of those games AC Shadows included present themselves as documentarires.
@@adrianwerner1982 true
Wonder what Japan would think of people trying to re write their own history.
I think they would replay Ghost of Tsushima...
How are they rewriting history?
Have you not played this series at all?
I remember when it was liberals who were made fun of for being offended on others behalf.
@@PendBestDeck151
They are rewriting it by spreading false information of Yasuke being a Samurai, when he was not.
@@warchiefvenomn7612 why does assassin's creed have to be perfectly accurate now?? NOW of all times. Plenty of games tell the years people die but change the how. Those weren't accurate.
All we know is he's wearing armor. Maybe it's Nobunaga's after his death. Clearly he's aligned with the assassin's. Maybe he's being useful is some way. Who said that's the entirety of the game?
Every main character has been fictional. With a fictional story, woven into loosely based history . WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY ARE DOING HERE TOO.
Put away your knee jerk reaction to woke woman and black man, and actually critically think.
People say woke (as if it's a bad thing) but to when they pander (very bad) and have a shit story. MAYBE it will actually be a decent story but you're automatically saying no.
On Reddit they describe it as seeing this era of Japan through the eyes of an outsider. Not much of known about Yasuke, that's why they are making it up. This isn't the first video game dude has been in.
@@warchiefvenomn7612he was a retainer which is still a class of samurai. Nobody had any problem with every other protagonist that’s not even a real person. Ezio wasn’t a real person just a made up person surrounded by historical people. This is the only historical figure that’s been a protagonist in any assassins creed game. If he was white we wouldn’t be having this discussion because it’s ok to white wash everything but god for bud someone has to play as a black person in a game. You’re probably still one of those people that believe Columbus discovered America. That white people didn’t almost commit complete genocide on the native Americans to rebuild a land in their image. That thanksgiving really was the pilgrims and Indians sitting down and having nice peaceful meals together the person in the game in the game is a historical person he was a retainer which is still a class of Samurai white people have been rewriting history for centuries just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s not factual just means you are close minded and only wish to believe things that suit your own ideology
To think that the Assassin's Creed saga was once praised for historical accuracy
If they keep being allowed to rewrite history, there will be some numbskulls who praise this game as being historically accurate.
I am just amused by the scenarios that are possible. Can you describe the assasin. “He has black skin and dreadlocks.” “There is only one black man with dreadlocks in the country. I see bo connection at all.”
@@gilmer3718 they've been rewriting history since the first game. It's kinda the basic premise. Diving into the memories of the past seeing what actually happened so we can find out where (insert plot mcguffin here) is. It was always presented as historical fiction.

So you're telling me Leonardo DaVinci didn't made equipment for Assassins?
@@Pointman11111 i know you're being sarcastic, but he did design weapons. Heck some of the stuff we used like the glider in 2 and the wooden tank in revelations were actual designs of his. They didn't actually work, but he did design them.
This is Netflix's Cleopatra all over again
no it's not, cleopatra was actually documented to not being black, Yasuke was given a stipend, a sword, a house as well as being in the inner circle of daimyo Oda Nobunaga and participated in battles.
@@wholelottamoney4595 participated in battles by carrying bags/others weapons lol
THERE IS NO ROME WITHOUT EGYPT! 😂
@@wholelottamoney4595 inner circle ? as in among Nobunaga's most trusted generals, the like of Toyotomi Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu ? a random fuking sl@ve with zero achievements that he pickup on the street somehow get into that circle when Oda know him for like 10 months ? You gotta be fuking kidding me lol, the glazing is insane, actual records of yasuke was just a few line, there's nothing documented about him, the guy is a nobody.
@@wholelottamoney4595 He participated in no battles, he would have died if he did so, any samurai at that time would've had more experience in combat than Yasuke with only 3 years staying in Japan.
Also, being given a house, a SHORT sword and a salary doesn't mean you're a samurai, it simply means you're a servant, there is no record of Yasuke reaching the rank of samurai either.
Yasuke, as a slave, could have never been allowed to wear a full set of samurai armor. Also, a female ninja, but the outfit looks like came from China. this is totally a western view of Japan/east in terms of appropriation.
It’s like even in kabuki.. women weren’t even allowed to do theater or even play women roles.. it was all men..
japan is extremely patrioarctial.. a female ninja is litearlly fantasy.. let a lot a black man gaining the highest level of respect..
@@npcimknot958no, women made kabuki and then men made laws that forbade them from participating. Also the roots of ninjutsu can be traced back to China since many of the core tenants are rooted in Buddhism. So a ninja with Chinese attire isn't inaccurate either. Also Yasuke's position in Nobunaga's ranks was a sword bearer. He basically carried Nobunaga's weapons for him. Someone like that definitely would have been wearing armor as they would be accompanying their lord in battle.
@@dustinvance243 I’d rather read a book writin by a Japanese historian than listen to a dude named Dustin on the internet, who just happens to support every choice made by Ubisoft. The crappiest of crap companies.
@@tehbone8604 i never said I was defending ubisoft. I was simply pointing out some misconceptions. And if you don't want to take my word for it, how about someone who was actually a teacher in Japan and makes it his job to cover topics like this on UA-cam? Ever heard of Gaijin Goomba? He talks about Japanese culture, history, and its influence in gaming and pop culture all the time. A lot of what I have learned from Japan comes from him. You should check him out.
@@tehbone8604 i never said i was. Ubisoft has been pretty scummy and i havent bought anything from them in years. I was just pointing out some misconceptions. And if you don't want to take my word for it, how about from someone who has made it his job to talk about these kind of topics on youtube? Check out the guy that does these videos called Which Ninja(i'm assuming i can't type his name on youtube because the system picks it up as a racial slur. I had to type this out twice because it got instantly deleted.)He talks about japanese culture and history as well as its influence in various games and media. He used to be a teacher in japan to so he knows what he's talking about. Most of what i have learned about japan comes from him and i'd recommend him to anyone.
Yasuke was a slave retainer. A glorfied bag carrier. He wasnt and will never be a samurai.
At that time if you were not born a Samurai you had to perform a great service to your current ruler to be raised to the rank of samurai. He is nothing like Hideyoshi who came from a farmers upbringing to be raised to the status of Samurai.
and it doesn’t matter because if you want realism then don’t play a game where you fight medusa LMAO
Why nowdays every main character in games has to be black or gay? I am so sick of that.
@@CarTastic-fv6eo I'm sick of it too. It's annoying
Facts. The only reason why he wasn't killed was because Nobunaga was curious about his black skin. He was basically kept as a pet because he was a novelty and nothing more. The title of retainer was literally bestowed on him just to keep others from killing him for being strange. That's the truth of it.
Ubisoft: black Persians, black Egyptians, black Japanese.
not sure which persian you're referring to but dark skinned egyptians were right. google egyptians and see what they look like today. the reason you think they're light skinned is movies about egyptian were made in the west and they make them white just like how jesus is white in western christianity. in ancient egypt, even the greek ruling class would've been dark skinned just like they are today in modern greece. now having said this, dark skin doesnt equal what we think of as black. to us, blacks are subsaharan africans. egyptians didnt have subsaharan african facial features.
@@DiamondhandsForeverNew Prince of Persian game.
It always bothered me how the main character in the new Prince of Persia gane doesn't look Persian/ Iranian at all. Still a good game...but always found it jarring the character design
@@DiamondhandsForeverQuick corrections, Persians are not black, Egyptians are, however they were colonized and subjugated by Arabs and so a majority of Egyptians are not black anymore, but the indigenous ones are are black. Cleopatra was Egyptian of Greek descent so Netflix making a documentary of her where she’s black is appropriation, (government of Egypt sued Netflix). Jesus is only white in Europe, however Jesus is black in Ethiopia and Asian in Vietnam and Native American in Mexico. Different people and cultures making Jesus look like themselves is a way of different people to personalize Jesus. There is no racialized ideology behind it. Now getting back to the context of this video, DEI does not establish original black characters or storylines, it appropriates and erases other cultures, peoples and stories by pasting a black face on it. It’s not original or accurate or honest, and that’s why we are against it, if your going to make a video game (in a series known for historical accuracy) about Japanese samurai in the Middle Ages number 1, use actual Japanese people so your not engaging in appropriation and replacism, and number 2. women weren’t samurai’s, so we have 2 mistruths here, number 1 is a black samurai, I think this can be solved by Ubisoft clarifying that it’s based on the real person Yasuke, who was an African in Japan at the time (for 3 years) but wasn’t a Samurai, he was a servant to Daimyo Oda Nobunaga, so even if clarifying the character it would still be untrue, and number 2, a female samurai (women were not allowed to become samurai in feudal Japan same way as women were not allowed to be knights in Europe. This is all being done due to ideology and erases accuracy and truth. So we have many reasons to be against it. Notice no one complained about AC3 using a Native American assassins, or AC4 DLC having a black slave as its main character, or AC Origins having a black indigenous Egyptian as its character. We only complain when there’s an ulterior motive and ideological reasoning behind replacing and appropriating peoples history and culture. Hope this helps you understand.
@@DiamondhandsForever Why do you assume I thought Egyptians were light skinned? Or that I think Jesus was white?Or that I was going to take history lessons from Hollywood Commifornia? I saw how they depict medieval europe and victorian england. Even worse than Ubisoft.
Egyptians were not black. That’s the point. I’m not saying they were white or light skinned.
Seeing The Iga and Kouga being overlooked in an Assassin’s Creed game is criminal.
The female character Naoe is represented as the daughter of nagato fujibayashi the then leader of iga clan (historical figure) and it's an 100 hour rps so surely it will have iga koga conflict as well
I was kinda excited for this… now I’m just going to play Ghost of Tsushima again.
Play rise of ronin
Wait for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II or play the first game, it didn't age one day.
@@PiterburgCowboyIs it good?
Might not be what youre looking for but i recommend sekiro
@@nashbullet3213 Absolutely yes, yes and yes again. It was a passion project by extremely dedicated people, it's less arcardy than Ghost of Tsushima though.
The scale of the 2nd title will be vision they had for the first one, but lacked the funding. Check out the trailer and gamepaly
Ubisoft could've paid their respect to black history by choosing a period of significance in black culture. Instead they try to force a black man somewhere he obviously doesn't belong. When this game flops they'll say it's because of the ignorant bigots who bashed on the game, and not their delusional agenda.
Yeah but that would mean doing proper research and work. It’s much easier to bend the knee to the WOKIES.
You’d still find videos attacking and mocking it as “woke”.
@@admirekashiri9879 False
@@admirekashiri9879 It's not mocking if its a fact.
He belongs. He was there in that period, he just wasn't a samurai.
I’m Persian, and rarely do I ever see any Persians being represented in any video games. If ever. Once in a millennia you get a prince of Persia type game where Persians can be represented. But what did Ubisoft do? They made the prince of Persia Black with a Miles Morales haircut lol. Not that I really care, but it’s just the principal. It seems like no ethnicity, race or culture is exempt from being turned black. Isn’t that disrespectful to Persians or am I just crazy?
Exactly. Nothing more stupid than the recent release of blackism in games that makes absolutely no sense when the character is literally written historically as PERSIAN and the game title literally written as Prince of _PERSIA_ and these muppets claim we need to be more diverse and inclusive - nothing but liars and thieves stealing everything in front of our eyes and turning it all to shite.
You are not crazy.
You are onto something
As a White man, I know exactly how you feel.
You aren't crazy, brother.
The character you’re talking about isn’t the Prince
The problem is if you're the only black person japan at that time period you being stealthy won't matter BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO LOOKS LIKE THAT
Hard stealth would be the only way to even accomplish any mission at that point. Freaking Punished Snake style.
@@corvus_armatura7595I don't think his gameplay is gonna be stealthy. They're probably gonna do it like the Evie and Jacob situation. Where one's gonna be more combat focused and the other is stealthy which in this case would be Naore.
@@lunazen8661Wich is even worse since every one would recognize him
@@lunazen8661 combat focus ? in feudal Japan ? a blak dude ? He's a dead man lol.
I hope the Japanese government takes them to court for trying to change their history. It's serious cultural appropriation and historical appropriation
Yasuke WASN'T a samurai. He was a sword bearer.
Exactly. He was just a slave. You think Japanese would allow a black man to learn how to fight well with a katana in the 1500's?
He was Oda Nobunaga's sword bearer. And Nobunaga was a very unconventional man. It wouldn't surprise me if he did have him taught how to fight if only for practicality's sake or simply to buck convention and piss people off for the sake of it. We're talking about someone who proclaimed themselves as the demon king because his fellow lords equated themselves to buddhas.
@@dustinvance243 So, you're saying that Yasuke was basically Oda's pet? A human attack dog? That's worse.
@@jatwood9648 that's not what i said at all. Again, he was very unconventional. He sought out to create a unified government in a time where literally everyone was at eachother's throats. He promoted the growth of christianity in Japan as a means of fostering a counter culture to the growing influence of buddhism. He revolutionized warfare in japan by being the first daimyo to make use of fire arms. Arming his troops with matchlocks and having them switch out for continuos volleys of fire. He Set fire to an entire mountainside to destroy a heavily fortified buddhist temple burning dozens of villages and killing hundreds of innocents in the process. He was an absolute madlad.
@dustinvance243 Ok, Nobunaga was unconventional. That still doesn't make Yasuke a samurai, and it's dishonest for Ubisoft and their confederates to attempt rewriting history for the sake of token diversity.
So no one gonna give a shit when I do an All Asian cast for my production of The Color Purple?
I already played Assassin’s Creed based in Japan. It’s called, Ghost of Tsushima. Hard pass on Ubisoft.
I wonder what the same people, who were accusing Sucker Punch of cultural appropriation with Ghost of Tsushima, will be saying about this now that this involves a black guy. .
Capcom can't remake RE5 because "White guy fighting black zombies IS RACIST!!!"
But a black guy murdering tons of native Japanese with a sword is just fine! No racism at all! See how this works?
@@gamephreak5damn they are so faqing hypocritical
I just hate how there's so very little Asian Male representation in media, and when there's a chance for there to be an asian male MC, ubisoft instead casts a black guy as the MC of the game.
Well, it's their art. Artists do get to choose what their art is. This wasn't a chance to have an asian male. It's their own creation. You're trying to force an artist to make what you want them to. It's never going to happen.
And, by the way, there are a million games that let you create an asian male character.
@Ryzot I wasn't talking about character creation. I am talking about media portrayal of asian men. There are already barely any asian actors or asian MCs because of how racist Hollywood and, to some extent, gaming is racist.
Also, what is the artist trying to say when he portrays a 6'1 historical black dude running around Japan, killing a bunch of 5'3 Japanese samurai.
Racist Hollywood movies already stereotype asians as being less physically capable than white or black men while being nerds. Making a game where a black guy cosplays as a samurai and mops the floor with Japanese samurai is pretty disrespectful to the entire culture.
@@Ryzot ok so bascially summary of your comment "fuck your history and culture"
@@Ryzot ubisoft and art should never be said in the same sentence, ubisoft doesn't make art, they make crap, like this nigamurai for example.

@@warchiefvenomn7612 Why not?
Wouldn't they be consistent at least
i spent about one month last year working on some Wikipedia pages since I saw how certain pages were severely lacking in information and I wanted to contribute some important info to them. I quickly got out of there once I caught on how the vast majority of the veteran Wiki editors there are ULTRA woke to the EXTREME (and that's putting it mildly. I can't even go into details on how ultra, ultra, ultra extreme woke they are. That's how bad it is and I was shocked how many of them had these details in their public profiles). Anyway, these "editors" would delete and alter certain pieces of info due to extremely petty reasons, sometimes having to do with the ideology that they wanted to push. They didn't care if it was accurate info with citations added in as proof, if they didn't like it they would delete it. This is one of the MANY reasons why no one should use Wikipedia as a serious source of info for anything. Even for stuff like movies, shows, comics, games (ESPECIALLY games), use other sources.
No; we should use it, but we should be prepared to fight for its integrity. If we abandon wikipedia, the wokes win on that front, and they shall all flock there when everything collapses around them as they try to build a false narrative to deceive the naive youth into joining their vain cause and thus perpetuating their wanton chaos for generations to come.
We have the power to swarm them with our superior numbers, if only we _all_ did our part to jump in the fray, to fight against their misinformation and campaign of lies. We have the power to, through majority vote, change the policies that they so abuse, forever locking them out of editorial positions.
We can change the standards for sources, allowing wayback archives, and non “mainstream” sources to be allowed so long as, and _only if_ they can be verified.
Thus pages like the one on Sweet Baby Inc, will be forced to accept use of alternative sources that _can be verified_ by just digging around; no more sticklers able to force use of already compromised and biased mainstream news.
We shall ever endeavor to extend the oft forgotten tenet of Wikipedia; that rules are flexible, and that there is no “Core Policy” that is absolute.
What’s other sources?
I too want to know what other sources can be used to replace Wikipedia.

It is important to note that despite popular myth and modern depictions there are no historical writings nor evidence that Yasuke was ever granted the rank or title of samurai, he was never given a fief nor referred to as one in any writings. Most of our knowledge of his life comes from these messages written by missionaries and locals
So because we can't neither confirm or deny his ranking...why is making a fictional depiction, a purely "a what if" story so bothersome to y'all. Assassin Creed has always been historical fiction.
@@lunazen8661Because this is ASSASSINS Creed maybe? Where i wanna play as an assassin and not some Samurai. Fictional depiction? your not the brightest candle are you. In every AC game we never got a Protag based on a real Person, so why apparently now? AC2 playing in Italy, Ezio an Italien, AC Syndicate set in London, with Jacob a British character. So don’t even dare to convince me, The female Shinobi as the Protagonist wasn’t enough to just let here be the protagonist, no they had to slap in Yosuke as what appears to be the main protag when it’s not and just blackwashing. 🤦♂️

As a Japanese History professor, i find this REPULSIVE...but i have recepits, for i have the original history books of the sengoku period.

I don't know WHY exactly him, but it's not just Ubishit doing this, *it's a coordinated push.

Remember when they race-swapped Snake Eyes to a Asian because apparently a White guy can't be a ninja. But a Black samurai? Hell yeah! Smh what a bunch of losers.
Snake Eyes isn’t real champ
@@iamatn3317Good job missing the point champ. A white guy can’t be a fictional ninja, but a black man (who was a manservant and not a samurai) can be a samurai?
@@WolverineBatman like I said he wasn’t real princess so it doesn’t really matter. Yasuke ACTUALLY existed therefore that’s your answer to why 🤣
@@WolverineBatman all these books on Yasuke and yo goofy ass still believe that “UA-camr” 🤣
Love to know how he's going to 'blend' into crowds. 🧐
I think he won't need to hide because of the powers he has with the nation
Japan was half black in those days.
Well he can bland into the shadow since he's black
Probably he won't. Naoe will use social stealth while he can only hide in the bushes or haybails an stuff. That's my guess. Otherwise it is laughable.
@@StringedYak If that's the case then why is Yasuke treated as an anomaly if every 1 out of 2 people in Japan looked like him? Wouldn't it have been the norm?
Ubisoft is an embarrassment of a company.
That's one way to make people comfortable with not owning Ubisoft games
Well I guess Ubisoft is next to learn hard lessons. They should have reached out to WB games and asked them how did suicide squad game do in sales.
Siiiiiiigh this is the stuff i kinda hate, if you want a black protag fine but dont shove them into the narrative when it doesn't fit
Seriously out of all cool events in japan history, we can have shimabara rebellion, we can cover the 1st coming of BLACK SHIP and also the ending of shogunate by meiji restoration but nooo ! Yasuke just haas to be in it because representation
What i can understand after reading some comments from trailer in Ubisoft Japan, Most Japanese fans really disappointed that both protagonists are not japanese. They doesn't really mind if Ubisoft uses Yasuke, just not as one of the protagonists. They call this game politically correct and cultural appropriation.
Blamurai Black changing the past say Blamurai Black
To save the DEI future ubisoft has gone back to the past or should I say black to the past
SAMURAI BLACK
@@MrCjosue24 WATCHA
We wuz samurais and sheeeeeit
Ize be samuraiz and sheeet. Who you thank you iz?1
@@The_Primary_Axiom They don't think it be like it is, but it do
@@gamephreak5 Who you iz?
DAS RITE
Japanese people stole our samurai culture
It's like a competition between companies to see who can fuck up their game more, and wokeness is an ingredient they just NEED to add.
This is going to flop SO hard
Why is the twitter guy talking about a canon destroying Kunoichi boss ? Is he talking about the girl ? What is canon-destroying ?
Ubisoft is underrated, man. That Wii fitness boxing game they made… still holds up in 2024.
Yasuke was either fabricated or that he was a retainer, not a samurai.
William Addams was an actual samurai, but nobody talks about him.
Wasn't he the main character in Nioh 1?
@@gamephreak5 He's a real historical figure, he did a lot for Tokugawa Ieyasu to be elevated to samurai
@@gamephreak5Main character in Nioh 1, minor character in Nioh 2, and a real person that contributed to Japan. Yasuke existed in real life but didn't do anything meaningful and was a minor character in Nioh 2 whose role wasn't much.
Because William Addams was white, if he was black like Yasuke there would be many movies, tv series and videogames about him. This is woke logic
A Samurai that looks like a typical African American with dreads? Not accurate to Samurai.
Ubisoft literally rewriting history
I thought the story character will be customizable
For example
Monk
Young master can be spoiled or an ideal upright righteous master
Born from a samurai family
A half born (the other part is foreigner)
Peasant
Orphan
Raise by a ninja clan
Adopted
From an annihilated clan/family
And others
They had so many time and resources
And is wasted for DEI
They do know DEI is not profitable right major companies even admitted it
Ubisoft recoils in fear, "ive been found out".
I wouldve appreciated an AC game with Hideyoshi, or at the *VERY* least, have the correct historic references so it wouldn't look sus
Can't wait for this game to be in clearance bins like the rest of Ubisoft's games at Walmart. Where I can dismiss it as a poor man's ghost of tsushima clone.
I agree with you so much dude. You hit every nail on the head. People out here really happy with playing as a retainer , than a REAL samurai in this game. Thanks BLACK ROCK
I remember giggling about Spencer Reid on criminal minds keeping his original encyclopedia set and now I realize that at least that way they can’t just alter the past
The funny thing is, Koei Tecmo introduced Yasuke as a playable character in Samurai Warriors 5 and no one complained. Then again, Samurai Warriors has an over the top anime vibe. And it’s not the same as making him the main character after everyone has been begging for an AC set in Japan for over a decade.
He was a side character tho all the rest of them were there too in SW 5 this is just him and a girl shinobi i just don't think thats the same thing we are seeing they got that rock money.
Also Yasuke was a mini boss of sorts in Nioh. Thought that was ok as an addition. But here? lol no
This is why things like Wikipedia should never be a trusted source. Anyone can add anything. This is why certified encyclopedias eggzist...
Wikipedia automatically resets what's edited by any person. Only trusted admin can change it. Grummz literally changed it, took a screenshot, and then when he left the page it changed back. It's still up right now that yasuke wasn't a samurai.
The real question is, if you buy the game, is it yours or can they pull the plug anw?
When will Tom Cruise be cast as Kunta Kinte in the remake of Alex Haley's Roots?
One should not write fan fiction into histories. It's insulting and disrespects our ancestors.
I doubt they have any ancestors
I’ll stick to playing Shinobi 😂
Or Ninja Spirit on the PC-Engine
By Shinobi you mean the classic PS2 game?
@@Rivershield nope, I mean the classic arcade/master system/genesis games
Wikipedia altered actual history over a video game!? It's not a going to be a good video game either. it's probably going to be a grindfest like Valhalla was. you'll need to find 50 keys to open a chest lol.
This is the only Assassin’s Creed game in the franchise I have no desire to actually play. Lol
At first I thought it was for once an actual good way of bringing this so sacred inclusivity and all, in a way that doesn't feel forced since yasuke was an actual historical figure, had a strong story, etc... But it seems it's all bullshit again.
Adewale in black flag was the real deal.
I think Ubisoft knows this, if nothing else, will get everyone "talking" about the product, regardless of whether or not it's positive or negative. But it's a bizarre strategy. It assumes we wouldn't already be talking about or anticipating a new Assassin's Creed when it's obviously one of gaming's most popular franchises.
So if i play as black samurai and make every evil move i can, does that make every black men evil.......not sure how they want me to be able to do that.......
He was never Samurai. He was there for only like 15 months (something like that i forgot). How can someone become Samurai in that little time. Is becoming Samurai joke.
Let me get this straight. They couldn't be bothered to tell his story authentically and making him an Assassin so they literally changed history and altered the wiki. That takes more effort overall.
No, this dude doesn't know how to use Google. Go ahead right now and Google yasuke and pull up the wiki. The 'changes' are gone. Grummz probably just changed it on his own monitor lol. Also, AC isn't historically accurate and has never tried to be.
Good Video Bro. Did a react. You're just speaking facts here.
Thanks so much!
You're right. A few years ago, it might even have raised eyebrows in a good way, because we would have wanted to know how this guy ended up as a samurai. These days, we know instantly.
Ubisoft is a joke for years. Nothing new.
I totally believe that Blackrock and Vanguard would push for DEI, but do they not care about the value of their investments? It's painfully obvious that pushing DEI into games like this (and going through trying to change literal history) is going to seriously hurt that value. It doesn't make sense from an investment point of view from their end. Do they just not know that they would be shooting themselves in the foot from this investment? It just doesn't make sense. Unless there is some deeper and darker reasoning behind creating this nonsense insanity? Companies like Blackrock and Vanguard would not be pushing this so hard knowing it'll hurt value in the short term unless they see higher value in the long term.
Part of the WEF social engineering agenda. people have to realize this stuff is all connected. Including a cashless society
Look at the most hated demographics in our media. Now look back in history, which missing puzzle piece clashed with those demographics the most.
Lol I’m jk jk
Now I'm praying even more for the StopKillingGames campaign to eventually succeed.
I’m kinda counting the days til we get up to AAAAA gaming
Must be black history month..
Just wait for Japan to hit on Ubisoft for changing their history... They dont like that type of things. Also why now every main character has to be woman, black or gay? I am so tired of this. I would love it to have at least asian character.
@@CarTastic-fv6eoBecause those 3 are the loudest categories of minorities in the US. Asians are more discriminated against.
I'm not surprised that they changed it. And I have so many Normie people trying to tell me well look it existed. I don't give a fuck I'm never going to play that game. I'm going with what all of the normal leftists go with I'm not represented. I'm not going to play that. Ghosts of Tshumia, no I see myself in that.
Imagine how much of history is a lie if they lied this much about a video game
Really makes you think doesn’t it. 🤔
People point to play ghost of Tsushima if you don’t like this. I can just play Sekiro. Sekiro is set in the same period as Assassin Creed Shadows, moreover, it has a much better stealth system. Oh and it’s made by a Japanese game developer.
Another company that wants to go broke...
Shall we cast our votes with our wallets???
Sweet Baby Inc anyone?
They do realize one of the selling points of assassins creed is the historical close accurate story
Now the only chance it has is the story and gameplay
ACS Trailer is dope AF! I can't wait for this to come out 15 Nov!
The AC games where over for me after the Ezio trilogy. I tried AC3, finished it and I was pretty much done with the games after that. These days its so far removed from what it started as that I can't see these newer ones as AC except in name only.
I think Learingthelaw was spot on about how games are being used as cultural weapons. I find it crazy how these people will argue how these things are ok for UBI to change history in Japan for DEI but when "white people" make a game set in Japan and Japanese people loved it, that's heresy.
you should try AC : Black Flag then. One of the best AC games ever made, the story, the fights, the parkour, the sea exploration and battle. Such a good game
Boycott Ubisoft.
Ubisoft should've just stuck to their own formula and having the protagonists being fictional characters with historical characters as their supporting cast, LIKE THEY'VE ALWAYS DONE
Skull and Bones, Suicide Squad, AC Shadows... many AAA flops recently
This will flop, ubisoft has tanked their reputation. They have to comfortable not getting any of our money
The same woke people who have resorted to "joking" about putting bounties/hits on people, and asking to string up the wives/sisters/loved ones of people they perceive as their enemy... what did you expect?
