Yasuke is a disrespectful choice. Whether he was treated as a Samurai or not, we know his interaction with Japan ended with him handing over his sword and giving up, and being sent to the Jesuits like a loser. The excuse for letting him live was that he didnt know any better.
I agree with a lot of the stuff in the video, but I don’t think Yasuke was added for diversity. Asian people are also a minority and these types of people normally only need diversity when there are “too many” white people. In my opinion I believe they just thought he’d be a cool character to over exaggerate. Plus for the people who don’t like it, there is an Asian protagonist that represents assassins creed gameplay better who you could play instead. I don’t think people who disagree with yasuke being one of the two main characters are racist though, that’s just ignorant. Also, I don’t think one of the main characters race should keep you from playing the game. The gameplay and graphics look great and it’ll probably be the best game since unity. To me, what people should be talking about are the extremely high prices that were advertised instead.
brave of you japanese people to stand up to western cultural appropriation....they have been doing this to Indian culture for years now....but Indians out there dont even have the spine to raise their voices..its so annoying
I argued with people on Reddit that this decision is cultural appropriation and disrespectful. They are just hiding this racism behind a black face. Commenters accused me of racism, and said I was only pretending to be Asian. These idiots could not believe Asian people would take offense at this.
@@jameswatson5807 Yeah AC is historical fiction, but some people don't understand that. Thats why the wikipedia war for Yasuke page happened, which is the reason why lots of Japanese is against AC shadows. That whole wikipedia war was an act of cultural appropriation. Foreigners utilising Japanese history for "Political correctness" which are discriminating asians. Haha so funny.
Disrespect is not racism but making a Japanese focused game with a foreign male protagonist and they made him gey in feudal japan? Now that's bad not racist but woke people ruining everything.
These people like to say that Asian people are "white adjacent" so they can then say it's not racism since in their minds you can't be racist to white people I wish I was joking but that term "white adjacent" is a term they've actually used.
my friend I’m Japanese and I feel really, really offended by this game and this is the most racist game of all time. Historical accuracy, my ass. Why did you not hide out an Japanese historian?

Are you the Yasuke, the legendary samurai?」 「Yes, I am」 「You served Oda Nobunaga directly. In which battle did you participate?」 「I was present at the Honnoji Incident!」 「I wouldn't call that a battle...... So, what did you do?」 「I went to the Nijo New Palace to inform them that Mitsuhide Akechi's army had attacked!」 「What? What about Nobunaga, whom you are supposed to protect?」 「Uh, I'm not sure. Perhaps he is dead?」 「Even though many samurai died on the spot to protect their lord? Even 18 year old samurai died in battle?」 「I see.But I fought under Nobutada-sama, the heir apparent of the Oda family!」 「So you fought bravely?」 「Yes, I did.But the enemy had the upper hand, so I laid down my arms and surrendered!」 「...... While almost all the other samurai who were there either died defending Nobutada or committed seppuku after Nobutada?」 「I see. But I didn't want to die.」 「......So what did you do after you were interned at the Nanban temple? Did you return to the Oda family?」 「I don't know. But there is no need to go back, is there? There is no obligation or anything......」 「Great. He is truly a legendary samurai」
Now imagine Japanese making a game that features a Japanese protagonist saving slaves in America. But because "you shouldn't care about history", now slaves were white and black people were the oppressors. Then the protagonist distracts black guys with placing watermelons and and throeing chicken nuggets to assassinate them while Japanese music plays with a benjo. And so on and so on. The same people that are defending this game would go nuclear if the roles were reversed.
i agree they should’ve used a Japanese male protagonist but to use it as an excuse for racism towards black people shows me that you don’t really care about the game its just that you don’t like black people and its funny cause they have nothing to do with the making of this game just proves to me your just racist n don’t care about the actual representation of japan
so not only they decided to butcher japanese culture but also decided to add hip hop because Yasuke happens to be black? how "inclusive" and "progressive" of them!
They forgot to add a Shinto shrine into a work in progress game ‘butchered Japanese culture’. You’re upset there’s a black guy in a mainstream game buddy

On one side you have Sucker Punch, that made a game respectful to Japan and getting praised for it so much, that even the island of Tsushima and the prefectural government are using it for tourism advertisments and heaping praise on the games portrayal. On the other side you have Ubisoft.
This trashes the Japanese people, culture, and history, so I am going to not buy any more Ubisoft games. I have Japanese family roots, so this makes me feel like part of myself is being trashed.
@@darkstalkerknight63Ubisoft is shitting all over my countrys history and culture. they didn't bother to study the culture and history like they usually do and they are claiming Yasuke was a renowned samurai which is documented to be historically false.
@@darkstalkerknight63 There is plenty of proof that it does trash a lot of Japanese things. Look up the Shinto gate. There is an example of one being in the game, but there is no Shinto shrine. Those gates are supposed to indicate the location of a shrine. They also have rap going in the action battle music, enemies being tortured and shown no respect in fights, no historic accuracy on the little information that we do have on that historic African man, all sorts of things.
The problem isn't that its not made by japanese people like that tweet said. Those same people did a great job with Egypt, Greece, Italy, America, and the middle east. The problem is that they didn't do their research and made a game for the wrong reasons.
@@autobfacenobody cried about it because they did not claim to be accurate with them. With Shadows they claim to be accurate. Thats why all this nitpicking is happening.
@@aliti9315 I think historical "accuracy" with architecture and customs, etc is claimed in most if not all assassin's creed games. All assassin's creed games also take artistic license.

@@autobface Its the dIfference between call of duty 1 and Vanguard. Neither are 100% accurate but the 1st one tried and kept to the theme. The first cod didn't have red dot sights and the old assassins creeds didn't have hip hop beats. Its not that they were perfect but you could believe they were
@@TT09B5No one else adores western history/settings like Japan does. (especially when it’s about medieval europe) If anyone would do it, it would be them. Which is quite sad, as we should be doing it ourselves...
Reminder, the professor they choose is just a fujoshi that even made her thesis about it. For context, fujoshi is a woman who love homoerotic story between two male character. And in a bit unhealthy way.
Yasuke was real, he was a Bushi, which in the modern era has been conflated with samurai and the distinction between the two hasn’t been used since the Meiji era, so it’s semantics at this point, hell this isn’t even his first time being represented in media and nobody had an issue with his previous portrayals so why is this one somehow different
I wonder why no one threw a tantrum when Team Ninja put him in Nioh as one of the strongest Samurai. Propably because the snowflakes who feel offended where still in Kindergarten back then 🤔
@@ROBerter-h9u this narrative that Japanese people are upset is also weird considering he’s been plastered all over Japanese media since the 60s but they’re all of a sudden drawing the line with assassin’s creed? Stinks of misinformation if you ask me.
@@blumind_web2264right I've seen so many Japanese people talk about how they don't understand this whole controversy. And that they have noticed that the only people really bitching about this are none Japanese people. Weather or not he was or wasn't a samurai is irrelevant. Since you know this a sci-fi historical fiction game. And beside the Japanese are the ones who popularized him a samurai. Why the fuck would they be upset about this.
Yasuke was only in Japan for two years. During that time, he mastered Japanese language, horse riding, and swordsmanship, and was promoted to samurai. Hey, UBI? Do you seriously believe this?
Seeing all the local Japanese bow down to the only black guy in the gameplay video was really awkward. It really gives the vibes that he's superior to all of them
Yasuke was treated like a pet because he couldn't speak the same language. Why would someone bow to him, a pet who couldn't speak the same language, and then have his head chopped off? I find it hard to understand. From Japan
@@shebooishhe was. The samurai did have family lines that were passed down but they would also pay people a samurai stipend for doing samurai work thus making them samurai. Yasuke was no different. People really need to stop the romanticism of Samurai and knights and legionnaires. A lot of them did less than honourable things in antiquity.
@@dietrich8820 and on top of that he was made a bush I given land and a weapon with a decorated sheath he wasn’t anywhere near to a nobody but the possibility of him not being a samurai is still there
The history of this game is broken. A foreigner who is a Japan fanatic would do a better job of just looking it up on the internet. Maybe they did a low-level job on purpose out of fear of being accused of cultural appropriation. That's great consideration.
@@darymanzueta8875 isn't Nobunaga both revered and hated no? Like in some providences he's seen as a hero but in others he's depicted as a mad man that would kill anyone that gets in his way no?

I refuse to buy any Ubisoft game. Was a fan for many years but their greedy practices have convinced me to not buy their games anymore. Asking over a £100 to get everything is a rip off and how will I know that in a couple of years Ubisoft might just pull the game so I can't even play it.
Poorly researched and not understanding anything about Japan.. Owh my god dude, Ubisoft and the people working on this game should be fired.. How about you go back and start making Rayman games and Beyond Good And Evil, perhaps then you can rebuild credibility on your brand Ubisoft!.
The image of Yasuke based on primary sources in Japan is very different from the image of Yasuke in other countries, which is based on fiction or misunderstanding. This is unavoidable, as there are few people in the world who can understand Japanese, making it difficult to read primary sources directly. Yasuke, a historical figure commonly known in Japan, is not a "legendary samurai." In fact, it is unclear whether they could even be called samurai. When a Japanese person pointed out this mistake, for some reason there were objections from all over the world. Have you looked into the materials that exist in Japan? Can a game that conveys wrong information to the world really respect Japan? Google翻訳で失礼しました。
Is it possible to create a game with accurate historical research that uses a character from an incorrect history as the main character? As long as you play the game as Yasuke, the wrong history is always displayed on the screen. If he had at least appeared as an NPC, it wouldn't have been such a problem.
Ok but yasuke isn’t even a woke choice he already has an established presence in media so it’s just a smart marketing tactic in general, historically he was a Bushi, which hasn’t been viewed as distinct from samurai since the Meiji era (though in the Sengoku era there was a defined distinction that set them apart) this is specifically stated in the Maeda archives “the black man was taken into lord Nobunaga’s service, he was given a home, a short sword, and a stipend,” he’s confirmed to have participated in 3 skirmishes in 1582 at Tenmokuzan, Honouji, and Nijo, and an unnamed witness places him at Yamazaki manning a canon (which yeah if a dear friend of mine had been killed by a traitor who then proceeded to publicly embarass me and denounce my titles on the grounds of my race I’d want some pay back to) sooooo not woke, this one is actually rather intelligent and calculated, but I will say wait until it comes out to gauge the quality because this could go either way, it could be an absolute masterpiece or dog water SJW fan fiction, it’s all about the execution
I loved Samurai Champloo. The hip-hop in that show was great, and Najubes kinda changed a lot of how I view music. Ubisoft has not recreated anything like that here. They are a soulless cash-grabbing corporation, and everything they do lacks sincerity.
Tone deaf, just tone deaf, this shows that Ubisoft don't care about Asians or their culture, they are more focused on Yasuke being the greatest Samurai freeing the land of Japan from their Japanese tyrants. Am not gonna get the game, not even sure am gonna Haar matey the game, will give it a try and shit on it then maybe drop it.
The saddest part is that all the people blasting this will still give Ubisoft money. When will they learn: profits is the language used by corporations. Nothing else matters.
But but but... they hired a Japanese expert ( on man-boy love ) professor to consult on this! How could such a cultural slight like this happen? I mean I DO understand the dynamics of LGBT relationships between young boys and grown men in feudal Japan is obviously a very misunderstood thing and isn't ever given enough of the spotlight and therefore should be the games focus, but can't we also get the small things like an entire cultures religion right too? You know, if we have the time after patting ourselves on the back for how open-minded and diverse we all are?
Seems like the Japanese people don’t really give a crap about Yasuke being in the game. They seem to care more about proper kanji being used and their cultural landmarks and heritage being properly represented.
If you say the wrong thing about a building as being ``historically correct,'' you will be criticized. Japanese culture has a close relationship with religion. If you just reverse the left and right sides, the meaning may be completely reversed. And it's very unpleasant.
Was Yasuke an actual person existed? Yes. But As he only have the first name and no family name, he definitely was not a samurai. And with only one and half a year with Oda how can he be a top samurai from the very bottom of the society? No UBI staffs and their followers say he's a samurai by not understand what samurai is. Did you ses his katana going left to right of his waist and that truelly shows UBI doesn't care the cultural background. Samurai belts his katana on left side no matter which your dominant hand is, to avoid touching each others katanas while passing on narrow streets or roads. Torii gates are a gate to a shrine and even if it look like it just stand on the street there IS a shrine somewhere hundred meters away.
This is my favorite series and I was waiting yrs for this game only to get these 2 chars to play. I'm pretty strict on not supporting 'modern' entertainment so I have to skip this one - at least till the price plunges. Ubi needs to change course or they might 💀
Since many people believe the false history spread abroad, the truth is that Yasuke was an entity that appeared in only a few lines in the history books of the time, and of course there is no mention in any history book of the time that he was a samurai. I had known of Yasuke's existence since I was a small child because I was a history buff, but I recognized him as a kind of servant of Nobunaga Oda, not a samurai.（Because when Yasuke appeared in the drama "Hideyoshi" that I saw a long time ago, he was standing all the time next to Nobunaga as he was eating, pouring wine for Nobunaga.) I don't know when he started being called a samurai, but I can say for sure that Thomas Locke Lee's book is mostly false except for the existence of Yasuke, there are no statues of Yasuke anywhere in Japan, only a few Japanese history buffs know about Yasuke, and he has done nothing to be loved. Other than Yasuke, there are no black samurai in Japanese history, so blacks will no longer be samurai in reality.（Because the class system of the samurai disappeared during the Meiji period.） So, unfortunately, I would like to ask all the black people to be patient and cosplay as a samurai, just like Yasuke in this game. Please do not make the mistake of saying that black samurai existed. P.S. You can call me a racist all you want, but everything I said is true. Excuse the long sentence.
These are the same people saying resident evil 5 is racist because you kill black zombies in africa but will defend a black character, who was never a samurai but a retainer for some months and then sent back, going around in samurai gear killing asians in Japan with hip hop music mixed within japanese music.
women would have been successful if they would've just respected other cultures and traditions and not butchering them in the name of women rights....but they did not, and here we are.... the concept of consequences is something that pseudofeminists have no idea of apparently.
I can honestly say I have not bought nor played any Ubisoft game and the more games they release the less likely I am to do so. Generally their games just didn't interest me but now with every game they release it is just trash that gets more and more disrespectful to players and the cultures the games are based on. This one isn't culture based it's just cultural appropriation done poorly.
I don't care if it was historically accurate, why would you focus on the ONE black guy in their entire history? If it had like 50 playable characters that'd have been forgivable, but it has 2, and the other one is a freak too.

@@sentinel-p5k you wrote all of that and still didn’t answer my question ahaha homie I can understand Japanese even when you turn off the translate 🤣. Yes we’re proud of a black samurai but you know who’s even more proud….. the Japanese people who til this day write books about him and says he’s real and his statue so I’ll ask again… why does Yasuke have a statue in Japan and why is it the main gaming stores in Japan are promoting this game heavy? I’ll wait
I am a huge fan of the samurai area around that time in Japanese history, been looking forward to this game since i played assassins Creed 3 and play most of them. But this crap hell Nini am buying it, the disrespect for Japans history and for ppl who pay money to buy food games is mindblowning. Lucky i played ghost of Tsushima wich is kind of what i hoped ac shadow would be like. And then they try defend it and call us bigots and racist is insane. I really hope Ubisoft will get close to go broke over this so they learn to make good games and respect the ppl buying it.
Honestly it best to abandon the historical accuracy debate. A non black hero would never be made the hero of an AC Africa game, historical or not. People who try to defend that Yasuke was a samurai don’t actually care and neither should you. They consistently ignore the fact that the reverse game would not be allowed. If they truly stood by their arguments then they should be fine the reverse scenario. And even if they say they are fine with the reverse scenario, they will stay silent on the fact that mainstream journalism would go insane and do everything in their power to tank it.
Ubisoft can we please for the next Assassin's Creed game have an African setting where we have a white tribe warrior for the protagonist? And please get a contract with Garth Brooks, Country music will go so well with that setting.
I find it ironic that they gave the Yasuke hip hop beat. As a black man I can tell you this not all black ppl like hip hop and rap music. Ubisoft better prepare that this will fail and won't sell
Even if he was a Samurai (which is clearly was not for all kinds of very obvious reasons that people who know about that era are familiar with), he was 100% unimportant. Nor is there any reason to believe he was gay. This is just virtue signalling and the end of what started out, all those years ago, as a great franchise but has long since become a cash-cow and now a virtue-signaling dog.
They clearly throw the Japan culture out the window and I bet they did use google translate to be lazy with it. There should have been Japan people but did the writer check it? They clearly trash and disrespect the Japan in bad ways. DEI is being use in wrong ways. I bet they cut cost in researching (not much I mean they did search for black people and some art design from google search right) and just assets flip style.
Feels like some of the devs are really not giving a shit and are doing this on purpose just to make the game fail. They’re tired of the bs coming from the higher ups and the diversity devs because no way they’re inventing Kanji characters or getting the basic symbol and structures wrong. Those devs are trying to send a message: DO NOT BUY OUR GAME
Aint no way they’d have a hip hop beat if the character wasn’t black lol. Their attempt to look inclusive makes them look even more racist lol. It’s all just so disingenuous
This is Ironic When I see most Japanese Game Devs try to appropriating Western culture , It is more presented in classy , tasteful and creative not trashy , and even with more smart marketing strategy And I will criticize Ubisoft as lazy and simply a joke if they try to create Assassin’s Creed sets in SEA country but the architecture design is Middle Eastern architecture
They forgot to show the gameplay where yasuke has oda Nobunaga’s shittake mushroom 🍄🟫 inserted into his colon whilst he clings to the tatami mat and gets ploughed harder than a Yamagata rice field
Yasuke couldnt have been a samurai. He had no ceremony to become one, he didnt live in japan long enough to even become one, and he never had a samurais death. And even then, even seeing battle, that doesnt make someone a samurai.
Yasuke was a retainer but never was a samurai and was a sword carrier for nobunaga oda but it stated that he and nobunaga died together but in fact only one member survived that accident and never mention yasuke at all of how is he a samurai
Ubisoft went years downside with this DIE bullshit....they should stop this shit adding this shit in Games! Its because this git damn Ubisoft kids made games!
Sure…those sacred areas would be boulders, trees, and oceans (usually anything nature related → but some Kofun might be exceptions) To my knowledge, Torii wouldn’t be used as a gate to a village
Assassins creed used to take pride in being accurate about the places and eras the game was set in. Sad to see them fall in the DEI trap. Go woke go broke.
We are seeing all of this outrage about the main character, everybody's missing the forest through the trees. This thing is going to be like every other fucking PC release from Ubisoft, You're going to buy it on pre-order and play it 3 days early but it won't be playable for about 2 months when danuvo gets cracked. Abandon AAA my dudes, life's better on the Indy side.
Ghost of Tsushima got the history right In fact the Gov of Tsushima Island recommends the game ! When will people get it? In till Company's dont get up to a 75% cut ( how much of a cut they get from the current rate depends on how high of a ESG score you have ) on the money they borrow to make games ( they never use ther own money ) this will not change and there is 7 trillion dollars in the fund for this so dont hold your breath.

Are you the Yasuke, the legendary samurai?」
「Yes, I am」
「You served Oda Nobunaga directly. In which battle did you participate?」
「I was present at the Honnoji Incident!」
「I wouldn't call that a battle...... So, what did you do?」
「I went to the Nijo New Palace to inform them that Mitsuhide Akechi's army had attacked!」
「What? What about Nobunaga, whom you are supposed to protect?」
「Uh, I'm not sure. Perhaps he is dead?」
「Even though many samurai died on the spot to protect their lord? Even 18 year old samurai died in battle?」
「I see.But I fought under Nobutada-sama, the heir apparent of the Oda family!」
「So you fought bravely?」
「Yes, I did.But the enemy had the upper hand, so I laid down my arms and surrendered!」
「...... While almost all the other samurai who were there either died defending Nobutada or committed seppuku after Nobutada?」
「I see. But I didn't want to die.」
「......So what did you do after you were interned at the Nanban temple? Did you return to the Oda family?」
「I don't know. But there is no need to go back, is there? There is no obligation or anything......」
「Great. He is truly a legendary samurai」
It is more common sense now that Yasuke even wasn’t there when Honnouji incident occurred.

Now imagine Japanese making a game that features a Japanese protagonist saving slaves in America.

Then the protagonist distracts black guys with placing watermelons and and throeing chicken nuggets to assassinate them while Japanese music plays with a benjo. And so on and so on. The same people that are defending this game would go nuclear if the roles were reversed.

i agree they should’ve used a Japanese male protagonist but to use it as an excuse for racism towards black people shows me that you don’t really care about the game its just that you don’t like black people and its funny cause they have nothing to do with the making of this game just proves to me your just racist n don’t care about the actual representation of japan
so not only they decided to butcher japanese culture but also decided to add hip hop because Yasuke happens to be black? how "inclusive" and "progressive" of them!

@@darkstalkerknight63Ubisoft is shitting all over my countrys history and culture.
they didn't bother to study the culture and history like they usually do and they are claiming Yasuke was a renowned samurai which is documented to be historically false.
@@darkstalkerknight63 There is plenty of proof that it does trash a lot of Japanese things. Look up the Shinto gate. There is an example of one being in the game, but there is no Shinto shrine. Those gates are supposed to indicate the location of a shrine. They also have rap going in the action battle music, enemies being tortured and shown no respect in fights, no historic accuracy on the little information that we do have on that historic African man, all sorts of things.
The problem isn't that its not made by japanese people like that tweet said. Those same people did a great job with Egypt, Greece, Italy, America, and the middle east. The problem is that they didn't do their research and made a game for the wrong reasons.
There were historical and architectural inaccuracies in all those games too. It's that nobody really cried about it.

Reminder, the professor they choose is just a fujoshi that even made her thesis about it. For context, fujoshi is a woman who love homoerotic story between two male character. And in a bit unhealthy way.
Yasuke was real, he was a Bushi, which in the modern era has been conflated with samurai and the distinction between the two hasn’t been used since the Meiji era, so it’s semantics at this point, hell this isn’t even his first time being represented in media and nobody had an issue with his previous portrayals so why is this one somehow different

Weather or not he was or wasn't a samurai is irrelevant. Since you know this a sci-fi historical fiction game.
And beside the Japanese are the ones who popularized him a samurai. Why the fuck would they be upset about this.
Yasuke was only in Japan for two years. During that time, he mastered Japanese language, horse riding, and swordsmanship, and was promoted to samurai. Hey, UBI? Do you seriously believe this?
Seeing all the local Japanese bow down to the only black guy in the gameplay video was really awkward. It really gives the vibes that he's superior to all of them
They used torii as an entrance to the village??? This just getting better 😂😂😂
Yasuke was treated like a pet because he couldn't speak the same language. Why would someone bow to him, a pet who couldn't speak the same language, and then have his head chopped off? I find it hard to understand. From Japan
Yaauke came as a slave nobody from india and went back as nobody he is not a mc to anyone

@@shebooishhe was. The samurai did have family lines that were passed down but they would also pay people a samurai stipend for doing samurai work thus making them samurai. Yasuke was no different.

@@darkstalkerknight63 are you being sarcastic? They can't even get the language right on their promo materials.
The image of Yasuke based on primary sources in Japan is very different from the image of Yasuke in other countries, which is based on fiction or misunderstanding.
This is unavoidable, as there are few people in the world who can understand Japanese, making it difficult to read primary sources directly.
Yasuke, a historical figure commonly known in Japan, is not a "legendary samurai." In fact, it is unclear whether they could even be called samurai.
When a Japanese person pointed out this mistake, for some reason there were objections from all over the world. Have you looked into the materials that exist in Japan?
Can a game that conveys wrong information to the world really respect Japan?
Google翻訳で失礼しました。
Is it possible to create a game with accurate historical research that uses a character from an incorrect history as the main character?
As long as you play the game as Yasuke, the wrong history is always displayed on the screen.
If he had at least appeared as an NPC, it wouldn't have been such a problem.
Here is my advice: Don't buy a game that is completely woke, keep your wallets closed, then play the old games you know and love.
Ok but yasuke isn’t even a woke choice he already has an established presence in media so it’s just a smart marketing tactic in general, historically he was a Bushi, which hasn’t been viewed as distinct from samurai since the Meiji era (though in the Sengoku era there was a defined distinction that set them apart) this is specifically stated in the Maeda archives “the black man was taken into lord Nobunaga’s service, he was given a home, a short sword, and a stipend,” he’s confirmed to have participated in 3 skirmishes in 1582 at Tenmokuzan, Honouji, and Nijo, and an unnamed witness places him at Yamazaki manning a canon (which yeah if a dear friend of mine had been killed by a traitor who then proceeded to publicly embarass me and denounce my titles on the grounds of my race I’d want some pay back to) sooooo not woke, this one is actually rather intelligent and calculated, but I will say wait until it comes out to gauge the quality because this could go either way, it could be an absolute masterpiece or dog water SJW fan fiction, it’s all about the execution

The saddest part is that all the people blasting this will still give Ubisoft money. When will they learn: profits is the language used by corporations. Nothing else matters.
But but but... they hired a Japanese expert ( on man-boy love ) professor to consult on this! How could such a cultural slight like this happen?
I mean I DO understand the dynamics of LGBT relationships between young boys and grown men in feudal Japan is obviously a very misunderstood thing and isn't ever given enough of the spotlight and therefore should be the games focus, but can't we also get the small things like an entire cultures religion right too? You know, if we have the time after patting ourselves on the back for how open-minded and diverse we all are?
I will not buy this bullshit game. I'm agree with japan brothers ubisoft insulting and destryoing cultures with this
Seems like the Japanese people don’t really give a crap about Yasuke being in the game. They seem to care more about proper kanji being used and their cultural landmarks and heritage being properly represented.
If you say the wrong thing about a building as being ``historically correct,'' you will be criticized. Japanese culture has a close relationship with religion. If you just reverse the left and right sides, the meaning may be completely reversed.
And it's very unpleasant.
Was Yasuke an actual person existed? Yes.
But As he only have the first name and no family name, he definitely was not a samurai.
And with only one and half a year with Oda how can he be a top samurai from the very bottom of the society?
No UBI staffs and their followers say he's a samurai by not understand what samurai is.
Did you ses his katana going left to right of his waist and that truelly shows UBI doesn't care the cultural background.
Samurai belts his katana on left side no matter which your dominant hand is, to avoid touching each others katanas while passing on narrow streets or roads.
Torii gates are a gate to a shrine and even if it look like it just stand on the street there IS a shrine somewhere hundred meters away.
This is my favorite series and I was waiting yrs for this game only to get these 2 chars to play. I'm pretty strict on not supporting 'modern' entertainment so I have to skip this one - at least till the price plunges. Ubi needs to change course or they might 💀
What’s wrong with the 2
Only Ubisoft’s few yes men will buy this crap, buy ghost of Tsushima for real Japanese culture and samurai
Modern Ubisoft can't stop taking Ls
Ubisoft saying : thank you black Jesus .
Since many people believe the false history spread abroad, the truth is that Yasuke was an entity that appeared in only a few lines in the history books of the time, and of course there is no mention in any history book of the time that he was a samurai.
I had known of Yasuke's existence since I was a small child because I was a history buff, but I recognized him as a kind of servant of Nobunaga Oda, not a samurai.（Because when Yasuke appeared in the drama "Hideyoshi" that I saw a long time ago, he was standing all the time next to Nobunaga as he was eating, pouring wine for Nobunaga.)
I don't know when he started being called a samurai, but I can say for sure that Thomas Locke Lee's book is mostly false except for the existence of Yasuke, there are no statues of Yasuke anywhere in Japan, only a few Japanese history buffs know about Yasuke, and he has done nothing to be loved.
Other than Yasuke, there are no black samurai in Japanese history, so blacks will no longer be samurai in reality.（Because the class system of the samurai disappeared during the Meiji period.）
So, unfortunately, I would like to ask all the black people to be patient and cosplay as a samurai, just like Yasuke in this game.
Please do not make the mistake of saying that black samurai existed.
P.S. You can call me a racist all you want, but everything I said is true. Excuse the long sentence.
Peak diversity hire results right here.
These are the same people saying resident evil 5 is racist because you kill black zombies in africa but will defend a black character, who was never a samurai but a retainer for some months and then sent back,

I am a huge fan of the samurai area around that time in Japanese history, been looking forward to this game since i played assassins Creed 3 and play most of them. But this crap hell Nini am buying it, the disrespect for Japans history and for ppl who pay money to buy food games is mindblowning. Lucky i played ghost of Tsushima wich is kind of what i hoped ac shadow would be like. And then they try defend it and call us bigots and racist is insane. I really hope Ubisoft will get close to go broke over this so they learn to make good games and respect the ppl buying it.
Honestly it best to abandon the historical accuracy debate. A non black hero would never be made the hero of an AC Africa game, historical or not.
People who try to defend that Yasuke was a samurai don’t actually care and neither should you. They consistently ignore the fact that the reverse game would not be allowed. If they truly stood by their arguments then they should be fine the reverse scenario.
And even if they say they are fine with the reverse scenario, they will stay silent on the fact that mainstream journalism would go insane and do everything in their power to tank it.
Ubisoft can we please for the next Assassin's Creed game have an African setting where we have a white tribe warrior for the protagonist? And please get a contract with Garth Brooks, Country music will go so well with that setting.
I find it ironic that they gave the Yasuke hip hop beat. As a black man I can tell you this not all black ppl like hip hop and rap music.
Ubisoft better prepare that this will fail and won't sell
Even if he was a Samurai (which is clearly was not for all kinds of very obvious reasons that people who know about that era are familiar with), he was 100% unimportant. Nor is there any reason to believe he was gay. This is just virtue signalling and the end of what started out, all those years ago, as a great franchise but has long since become a cash-cow and now a virtue-signaling dog.
What are the obvious reasons why he is not?
They want diversity?? why not use the Portuguese who actually had a lot to do with their history ??
They clearly throw the Japan culture out the window and I bet they did use google translate to be lazy with it. There should have been Japan people but did the writer check it? They clearly trash and disrespect the Japan in bad ways. DEI is being use in wrong ways. I bet they cut cost in researching (not much I mean they did search for black people and some art design from google search right) and just assets flip style.

Feels like some of the devs are really not giving a shit and are doing this on purpose just to make the game fail. They’re tired of the bs coming from the higher ups and the diversity devs because no way they’re inventing Kanji characters or getting the basic symbol and structures wrong. Those devs are trying to send a message: DO NOT BUY OUR GAME
Aint no way they’d have a hip hop beat if the character wasn’t black lol. Their attempt to look inclusive makes them look even more racist lol. It’s all just so disingenuous
This is Ironic
When I see most Japanese Game Devs try to appropriating Western culture ,
It is more presented in classy , tasteful and creative not trashy , and even with more smart marketing strategy
And I will criticize Ubisoft as lazy and simply a joke if they try to create Assassin’s Creed sets in SEA country but the architecture design is Middle Eastern architecture
They forgot to show the gameplay where yasuke has oda Nobunaga’s shittake mushroom 🍄🟫 inserted into his colon whilst he clings to the tatami mat and gets ploughed harder than a Yamagata rice field
Yasuke couldnt have been a samurai. He had no ceremony to become one, he didnt live in japan long enough to even become one, and he never had a samurais death.
And even then, even seeing battle, that doesnt make someone a samurai.
Did Toyotomi have a ceremony to become a vassal under Oda?
Remember when they messed up the Cuban flag in “Spider-Man 2?” Same thing…
Yasuke was a retainer but never was a samurai and was a sword carrier for nobunaga oda but it stated that he and nobunaga died together but in fact only one member survived that accident and never mention yasuke at all of how is he a samurai
Toyotomi was also a retainer. What’s your point?
@@dietrich8820 藤吉郎は武士に成るため信長に仕えた。最初は付き人。気に入られる。戦も足軽から功を得、少しずつ出世し織田家家臣羽柴秀吉と名乗れるようになった。
奴隷として連れてこられて、たまたま信長の興味を刺激して、引き取られ見世物にするため荷物持ちをして、本能寺の変で生き残り光秀に処されることもなかった。功もないので出世もしない、記されることもない。武士でも侍でもない。弥助が功を得ていれば記されていただろうし、本当に武士に成れていただろう。そして本能寺の変で信長を生かす為に戦死か光秀に捕まり切腹か斬首だっただろう。功もなく出世し農民や異国の奴隷が武士になる事はあり得ない。
功を得た秀吉はその後豊臣秀吉に成る。そして記されている。
I don't know if was disrespect or blasphemy
Ubisoft went years downside with this DIE bullshit....they should stop this shit adding this shit in Games!
Its because this git damn Ubisoft kids made games!
There's a mistake on that site not all Torii gates are on or near shrines, most are but some are placed in areas that are believed to be sacred.
Sure…those sacred areas would be boulders, trees, and oceans (usually anything nature related → but some Kofun might be exceptions)
To my knowledge, Torii wouldn’t be used as a gate to a village
Another example of why one should wait at least a year after release to consider purchase.
Assassins creed used to take pride in being accurate about the places and eras the game was set in. Sad to see them fall in the DEI trap. Go woke go broke.
Tell them DON'T fuckin buy it, since when has Assassins Creed been following HISTORY.
Base game costs $70 I think and I have $1000 to spend. For some strange reason I can't afford it.🤔
We are seeing all of this outrage about the main character, everybody's missing the forest through the trees. This thing is going to be like every other fucking PC release from Ubisoft, You're going to buy it on pre-order and play it 3 days early but it won't be playable for about 2 months when danuvo gets cracked. Abandon AAA my dudes, life's better on the Indy side.
It's ubisoft game, I expect by the time it's even playable it'll be on sale for half. Within a year basically
Ghost of Tsushima got the history right In fact the Gov of Tsushima Island recommends the game ! When will people get it? In till Company's dont get up to a 75% cut ( how much of a cut they get from the current rate depends on how high of a ESG score you have ) on the money they borrow to make games ( they never use ther own money ) this will not change and there is 7 trillion dollars in the fund for this so dont hold your breath. Play Ghost of Tsushima it is a far better game than Ubisoft can ever make...btw I have every Assassin's Creed game made so you cant say I'm just a Sony fan boy... Peace
You make no sense.
We understand what they were trying to do? They were trying to compete against Ghost of Tsushima and lost badly.
GOT copied assassins first they just did it better
@@zaneomuoreh8425 you've got to be joking if you think that, just look at the UI for AC shadows it's a 1 to 1 copy of GOT's UI they even have the 'resolve' bars as well lmfao 🤣
@@chrispalmer6804 no most of GOT stealth mechanics are from AC. So my point still stands. This game has a similar UI but is that even a complaint? GOT was great and had a good UI what’s the problem?
@@zaneomuoreh8425 if you wanna go that route then AC copied the stealth mechanics from older stealth games, i feel like the real reason ubislop held off making a AC set in japan until now is coz they were waiting for someone else to make something similar then copy from them which they 100% did imo but the only problem is that they're flat out shitting on the japanese culture as where sucker punch did their research and respected the japanese culture, and that is why their devs were made ambassadors of the island of Tsushima
@@chrispalmer6804 hahahah what nonsense.
