    There is so much corporate speak just to say, "Gamers are sick of us releasing unfinished games." What they are calling "ultra polished" is just the game actually being done.

      "Ultra polished" is coming from the guy who said Skull and Bones was a AAAA game. He sees terms that sound good and then makes up a better sounding version.

      I remember a time when you went to a store and bought a game on a CD or cartridge before that even. You know that game was 100% finished and 99.8% bug free, because there was no option for these lazy crooks to fix it after like there is now. At least when I brought Half-Life 2 Orange Box home I wasnt greeted by a 100 GB day 0 patch because they decided to just release the game 2 years before its ready.

    How many launch failures in the industry did it take for a company to finally admit that they need to delay the game to fix issues they "would have just fixed later"??? Studios have delayed games to "polish" them before, but they always painted it as the game was broken af, not even in a playable state really and they needed more time. Ubisoft sat there and ADMITTED they had the game in a state that they otherwise would have released with no qualms and made the mature decision to yoink it and fix those before a Day0 patch was needed.
    That to me is the biggest takeaway from this all.

Ubisoft has the mentality that female characters don’t sell and given current cultural discourse in gaming specifically around female protagonists you can see why they made the decision to have yasuke as main protagonist. I can see how they came to these decisions but if they just make sure the gameplay and writing is actually good people will play it regardless and the word of mouth will drive sales.

In every other Assassin's Creed Game before ACShadows, it's always been an Made Up Fictional Protagonist, and every other "Real Historical Character" has been a side Character. Why was Yasuke turned into the Main Character? For Woke Pandering Points that's why. Instead of an Actual Japanese Male Protagonist, we got an Black Man. Just imagine an Assassin's Creed game set in Africa, but the Protagonist is an White Man going on a killing spree against African Tribes. Ubisoft will never do this. Yet they did Yasuke.

      Honestly, I don't think using a vaguely historical figure is a super bad idea, if handled correctly. The new Shogun show is highly praised, yet it also uses a historical figure, an outsider who winds up serving a Japanese lord, as the basis for ts protagonist. Shogun does change the names of people, of course, to distance itself a bit from history, but regardless, an outsider is used. Lots of stories will use an outsider/new-guy as one of the main character, because it provides a reason for exposition to be provided in a natural way. But it does need to be well handled. Like in Shogun, the main character is English and he often does or wants to do things the English way, and this in turn is contrasted, conflicts with, or leads to explanations of Japanese culture. And those details are handled well, it isn't preachy, nor does it paint one way or the other as being superior. Reading the book the series is based on in high school (way back before anime became pretty mainstream), I'd say is probably the main reason I've been interested in Japan for most of life.
      So, if it is done right, then using him can be used to introduce and explain all sorts of interesting nuances to the audience. But done wrong, where he is cast as, say, a samurai rather than an outsider, and one who out-samurais the actual samurai, then it won't work well. And, well, it is a game about assassins. So the game really should take advantage of the fact that he isn't Japanese to let him do things that aren't "honorable", that essentially make him more assassin like, but with consequences that go with that, in terms of how he is viewed and so on, and use all of that to provide all sorts of cool insight into the culture. You know, to do what Shogun does.

    With the broken Tori Gate figure, which might not mean anything to folks who don't know, but is extremely offensive to Japanese people and symbolizes a time in history that caused generational trauma, as well as being easily mistranslated as meaning the ruinization of their history, it makes sense why they pulled out of Tokyo Games Show.
    They SHOULD take time to polish this game as, if you look closely, the shear amount of visual issues, like floating shoji, swords clipping through the sheaths and hands in numerous shots, bad animation pathing like the sliding horse and some sliding here and there with the main characters.
    This game is most likely not going to fix architectural and problematic environmental inaccuracies, like rice paddies next to rivers (which would cause flooding and lead to damaged rations in real life), Chinese architecture and props, the oddly colored sakura trees, as these will delay the game even further.
    Ubisoft HAS talented studios. But they have displayed a disregard to gamer concerns, become lax with game polish and quality control, are making very amateurish mistakes, and are sabotaging their own products and their reputation.
    Here's hoping this will be a wake-up call.

    No they don't deserve praise for delaying a product THEY make, in order to SELL it to us for MONEY.

      The issue with ubisoft is that they develop 2 3 games at once. Instead of focusing on one big game with everyone on board. Better development, less time, and more resources. More ideas. Imagine Rockstar developing gta rdr bully manhunt all at once. Gta6 wouldn't even be what it will be when it releases.

    All they gotta do is change the main character model and VO, and they'd probably be successful. Its not that hard, or different than just having different character skins. Then they would only have to do main character VO again. Plenty of time with the delay to do that.
    Plus, they'd get a bunch of PR and articles promoting them, saying "they listened" and covering the main character swap this close to launch, etc. They'd win on multiple fronts

    Trying to appeal to as large an audience as possible? Did they really think that anyone would have objected playing as a male Japanese protagonist in a feudal Japanese setting? Sure, there were confirmed female warriors at the time and there probably has been an African warrior as well. But it's borderline stupid not to at least include a male Japanese warrior as a protagonist as well, considering they made up an overwhelming amount of the fighting class at the time.

      I don't care about the protagonists being black and female. But if you run a company and you really need a game to succeed, you try to avoid a controversy like this. For Ubisoft, this isn't just any game. And again, having a third, traditional character would certainly have been possible. But nowadays, it's often more about taking something away than just adding another thing to broaden the spectrum.

      @Azhalan there are enough games to lists with black main characters and female main characters that have been extreme success. Yall keep trying to find new ways to justify having a problem with a female and black protagonist. Thats all this is and i wish yall would just admit it and be done with it. Yall did not do this when Nioh came out and it was a white samurai. Yall didnt do this with the other 3 female assassins. Just say how you really feel then go play something else.

By the way, my proposal of a third character would've actually made the game even more divers. I never said I want Yasuke and Naoe to be removed from the game as they might offer a unique perspective upon feudal Japan. What I do want to stop is people trying to drown critical voices with the same allegations over and over again.
