    The fact fans were begging for an AC game to be set in Japan and they decide to do it after another company had the balls to do what ubisoft couldn’t and then ubisoft just makes a watered down version of their game….

    so what happened was people were complaining that they wanted a purely assassin game but the best selling assassin creed games were actually the RPGs like odessey and vahl. so they decided to make a game with both for the RPG fans u can play as yaskue and for the pure assassin fans u have naoe u can pick which u want. personally the most fun assassin creed I played is odessey but I will admit black flag was great as well but for this game I think I will be doing two playthroughs one as yaskue riding horses and warlording my way to victory and one as naoe sneaking through the shadows and one shotting ppl

      @@AniSwiftTVRecaps that’s definitely what they are trying to do, my issue is with the execution, as you say multiple playthroughs focusing on one or the other is an option, but that isn’t the games intent, it wants you to play as both on different situations etc, that then is an issue of a half measure as at that point just have both be able to be played simultaneously like in gtaV
      Then there’s the issue of having to have everything be so open that it’s never going to be as complex or interesting as any area designed for one or the other playstyle
      It’s a complicated thing but if you have a method of doing it that works for you, more power to yab

    Quality video mate
    I wont go over my personal history with this franchise cause i have already done that several times on your Twitch streams.
    But im personaly looking forward to Shadows and as someone who likes the modern games Shadows gameplay looks like a much more refined and fluid version of Odysseys gameplay
    wich could feel heavy and clumpsy at times
    Naoes gameplay looks the most fun to me so i can see myself playing as her alot.
    I do have issues with where Ubisoft decided to take the storyline of Ac in certain places but i do enjoy the games themselves

      Looking at just the games, I’m really tired of the RPG format, and ubi continuing with it in the same drab way that’s gotten worse since origins, like if theee games where actually anywhere close to how they used to be, this would have been a much different video, but with more and more of the same slog in every ubi game, never mind ac game, it’s just draining

    I’m glad you stated yourself the vid is kinda pointless lmao half of what you pointed out was a pointless nitpick besides the parkour(big deal), the choices affecting gameplay/level design(we still haven’t seen it yet) and her fit being generic(I agree). I get you’re a purist fan(I sort of am myself) but people need to be open to Ubisoft trying new things. Tbh if they didn’t allow people to choose who they play ass they’d complain anyway I think we need to wait until the game is even released and then judge it because the game in itself is a good idea in my opinion but knowing Ubisoft they’ll need to put real effort in for it to be good. The game as a whole is interesting to me but my only real gripe is the parkour AGAIN it really bums me the fuck out man like just fix the fucking parkour they did something amazing years ago with unity and refuse to progress properly it’s frustrating.

It doesn't matter if you share the same skin color by the way, Ubisoft is just exempt from criticism. So you can't point out how disrespectful Ubisoft's depiction of Yasuke is or how insulting their depiction of Japan is either. You just have to pretend nothing's happening or else get slandered.
