I just don't think it's smart that people are pre-ordering the game already when they haven't seen any gameplay. I know the game will probably be good, but it's a real gamble if you haven't seen any gameplay.
I agree but if that's how they spend their money let em its bad they have to answer to themselves I always wait for gameplay that's all I know what they do is up to them 😅
I pre ordered because I'm a AC fan that being said I also did it on Amazon where if it turns out bad I can just cancel Amazon doesn't charge till it ships that's why I don't support places that charge before the item releases because things happen between the pre order and release like delays personal issues heck you could move in the time it takes for a game to release and have the thing shipped to a location that is completely vacant now lock in charging for pre orders should just never be allowed in my opinion way to much can go wrong between the the order and release date
@JoshuaVaughan-pi1sn atleast your smart about it you have a way set up much like me I go to gamestop and put 5 bucks down on any game I pre order just to have it there in case I want said game I did that with dragon's dogma, rise of ronin and stellar blade and if the gameplay looks fun I might put 5 bucks down for this too I only care about gameplay tbh all the other drama I could care less about
@@the_anime_binge_teen_is_1954I don’t think it’s smart pre ordering any game lol because they could literally go on sell 1 or 2 weeks after the release date or worst become free in 1 or 2 days after release for the ps+ store for some days or free for game pass . lol this literally happened to Starfield and the last nfs game
@@the_anime_binge_teen_is_1954 yeah I'm not into paying for something that isn't even out yet when God knows what can happen I also gotta manage pre orders better can only afford 1 pre order a month after bills final fantasy 7 rebirth came out the same month as another game I wanted couldnt have both had to cancel 1 in favor of the other the fact I forgot the others name tells you final fantasy was a little more important to me lol but yeah once a month it's bills 1 pre ordered game if anything worthwhile comes out that is maybe a pre ordered movie or 2 again depends on releases that month and then play money and I repeat that once a month even if I have money left over I refuse to break from my pattern been doing it for 30 years not changing it now
@@sgtroach1510 now you putting words in my mouth. I'm talking about the villains, not the protagonist. Am I wrong that the Templars will most likely be white christian missionaries even though it's an Asian setting?
@@JD10X yes you are wrong because there has been absolutely nothing in any leak that suggest that your literally making your own head canon but still making it feel racial
The only way to stop Ubisoft is not by hate.. it’s by competition. We need another game company to start a new franchise with stealth gameplay in historical times.
Like any company that does something you don't like - the best way to stop them is with your wallet. If you don't like it - don't buy it. Given its current performance projections, people seem to like it.
Unfortunately, my wallet is not huge enough to do anything. Someone else will always buy it, only good way to have an alternative otherwise AC will just dominate the market
@@blackblue2244ghost of tsushima exist, seikro exists, nioh exists, rise of ronin exists, all of these released prior to shadow, and shadow is still more anticipated
@@ShinzuXTruth Those are different games and I played none of them. But I play Assassin’s Creed because it bounces from different countries and timeline, it’s not just Japan. I prefer medieval Europe but I will still play shadows just because it’s AC. I am talking about another new franchise with the freedom to bounce around anywhere
The problem with this game is that it advertises it as historical fact. If it had been promoted on the premise that it was a completely fictional story, this wouldn't have been an issue. Nobunaga freed him from slavery and hired him, but he was not given a surname. If he could fight, why did he not do anything when Nobunaga was killed? The samurai who found him after the war thought that Yasuke had nothing to do with the battle between the samurai. Therefore, Yasuke was let go and his whereabouts are unknown. The problems with this game are as follows: "Martin Luther King Jr was merely a portable shrine held up by a powerful white man with a good heart. This is a historical fact." "Edison was not a great inventor, but a simple businessman who collected ideas from his talented black subordinates and made them into a business." "Haiti gained independence in 1804 thanks to the efforts of those with white blood, and black people alone could not have done such a thing." Japanese people feel discriminated against because the creators of this game think it is okay to treat Japanese history in this way. In fact, some people have fabricated proverbs that do not exist in Japan, such as the following, in relation to the drama "Shogun." 「There's a Japanese proverb that says for a Samurai tobe brave, he must have abit of Black blood. (William Spivey, Mar 8, 2024)」
@@MrMultiPlatform a TON of sense was made actually! You just have "culture war" and or terminally online brain rot lol...don't like it? DON'T...BUY...IT!! It's really that simple my boy
My issue with Shadows is excessive monetization. Season pass, battle passes, macro-transactions. And as we know, if it's successful most publishers will make it standard. All of this Yasuke stuff is burying it. I see little to no talk about it. It's so frustrating
Let’s you know where the gamers priorities REALLY are. Attack the black guy while Ubi attacks your pockets. It’s telling that it worked like gang busters.
Ask yourself this. Would there be all the hate if the protagonist was a caucasian man? Like the movie “The Last Samurai” starring Tom Cruise. “Historical accuracy”, “diversity” and saying it’s “woke” is just a smoke screen to fuel hate.
You are not getting the point. If yasuke would have been a side character and later put into a DLC or spinoff story for just him it would sell like hotcakes. If they make an African assassin's greed game and you played as chrisptopher Columbus what would you be saying then?
Would you have the same non solaunche if it was a game about liberation of slaves in America but you played a white slave because history shows there was white slaves
Its fuking anime dumbass. Has anime ever consider itself historically accurate? Also your talking about something made years ago. I swear people nitpicking things made years ago
@@theneoreaper6753 didn't he fight a robot in that? So how is that at all accurate? Also I'm pretty sure Afro Samurai takes place in the future so I ask again how is that accurate?
@@theneoreaper6753 Literally right now as we speak.. the outrage is over. The topic is done. Because there's many people from Japan going to another platform expressing their opinions on the topic and providing evidence that he was a samurai. Basically a kosho translates into a retainer ... Kosho is a young man serving a busho, a koshō acted as a bodyguard, secretary, attendant and will eventually become a samurai himself. Both yasuke and Adam became retainers.. retainers we're considered samurai back then all these Japanese people said that they're both samurai. Bushi and retainer are both samurai. The fact that people are still on this topic.. is ridiculous.. matter of fact maybe they're not on this topic anymore.. since that came out. The new topic is he's lgbtq.. simply because you can romance anybody.. so they took that as lgbtq... How is that any different from the dragon age series? or baldur's gate 3 ? Mass effect? Even assassin's Creed Odyssey .....Where is the outrage for those games? Where is the outrage for NIOH... If you guys want to show an outrage for that game then you guys will be more credible.. It's like whenever you guys reach a roadblock.. you look for something else to go on.. first it was said he didn't exist and he was a made-up character that was thrown in Japan... That backfired... Then they went on to say he wasn't a samurai.. that back fired... They said the Japanese people are outraged.. people from Western countries were going to the Japanese version of the TH-cam video and putting thumbs down. If Japan is outraged why are they making videos on another platform.. saying that he was a samurai? Why is the game ranked number one selling game in Japan? We're talking about Amazon and PlayStation.. ...
Thank you for continuing to apply a modicum of thought into your discussions. Searching the game on TH-cam reveals how easy it would be to pander toward bigotry and outrage. Keep it up!
This is the most important comment I think. Love the story ideas so far? Hate them? Doesn't really matter nearly as much as Ubisoft hasn't shown a scrap of actual gameplay.
Shinobi has alot of historical evidence. Thats like saying vikings weren't real. Like how video game you tubers are magically historical experts on feudal Japan.
ikr i have seriously seen people in comment sections saying stuff like there no way yasuke was a samurai he was a slave of nobunaga , like as if they where alive in feudal japan or something.Even if he wasn't real yasuke was used in media before back then no one ever aid anything like he aint really a samurai
As shown in the video, the AC games have been steadily increasing in sales since Origins, and it is highly doubtful that a black samurai and a ninja girl is going to stop AC fans from picking this up. You also need to recognize that Yasuke is a very popular character in Japan, starring in several games created by the Japanese themselves. Making him one of the MCs was a very smart move, because there are a lot of people on both sides of the pacific that have been wanting to play as this character in a game like this. In short; This game is going to sell very well.
I never pre order anymore, but I will be getting this game. Only reason I wouldnt buy a higher priced edition is because I never buy a season pass until I see the content in it.
Your argument is kind of dumb.And it's kind of avoiding the point. out of all japan history. They chose the literal one black guy When they could have chose somebody like Miyamoto MusashiSo or Oda Nobunaga so saying the ubisoft isn't pandering is just a lie And when it comes to the pricing, I think it's ridiculous but I think it's going to be a new thing we're going to see across all AAA games
@ReforgeGaming Yeah, I just think it's overpriced for what your getting As well as I feel like season passes in a single-player game doesn't make sense and should be included in the game instead of hiding it behind a pay wall
Wait so ghost of Tsushima was based on a real war with fictional characters, but no one cried that they didn’t put real characters in it, but when assassin’s creed wants to make a game about a real historical figure it’s a problem, but at the end of the day, it’s a game a fucking game so guess what it doesn’t have to be historic accurate look at the assassin‘s Creed franchise please literally fighting gods in the desert in origins the pope use magic
Yea I think the general public and japense people are just sick of these man children crying woke even me I didn't even care about the game until the next day with all the hate on TH-cam I'm waiting for gameplay and pre-ordering just to make these people mad and angry at the results lmao
Notice they ONLY talk about the dislike ratio on TH-cam every single day in Japan but completely ignore Japanese Twitter and TikTok and it being the number 1 pre-order there 😭😂
I think people also take into account that if Ubisoft did use a Japanese male character, they would have highly criticized the game as being a Ghost of Tsushima clone! They will say they are not being original…blah blah blah. People wanted devs to be original or have artistic freedom and look what has happened! Some people are just entitled, terrible people!
I've enjoyed every single AC game since the first one so I gambled that I'll enjoy this one. I already pre-ordered the top tier and I can't wait to play it as soon as it's available!
Because his black. Nah I'm just kidding. It's because his story is not that interesting, it's fascinating but knowing how it ended with him it's sorted pointless to have him as a playable character. As a side character he suits it perfectly.
@@ReforgeGaming depending on when he's story in Japan ends in this game. It's just pointless to have him as a playable character because he was captured and sent away thus ending his time in Japan. But the conflict in Japan is still happening so why bother having him playable.
Also in all the other AC games the main playable characters were never real people... you were always a made up fictional character that went around meeting real historical figures... Why couldn't Yasuke just be a character you meet in the game and do some missions with him...
that's not the point because ALL not some ALL the main characters were fictional made up people, you then go around and meet real historical people and Yasuke could of just been a historical figure you meet throughout the game... so saying "why don’t u go make ur own game and add what u want an don’t want" isn't a valid argument... name 1 main character from any AC game before Yasuke in AC Shadows that was a real person that lived?? bet you can't...
Bruh they only picked him because hes gay not cause hes black lets just get that out the way and wither way i wont buy this game not interested in lgbt games plus Ubisoft took my 150 dollars from my crew game so ill never buy anything involved with Ubisoft sorry south park this.mean yall too Ubisoft owe me and lots of other money for the crew game facts and now you want more money I wouldn't play this game if it was free i want my money back or you lost a fan and still not buying this game no interests
For me if I had both systems I would buy it for one of them only. I'm just genuinely curious why for both systems? Are there multiple people playing the game?
I had hoped that the Japanese Samurai Until now, the protagonist wasn't a historical figure, but now they've suddenly changed it. Please don't push the false egoism of diversity, not just in games.
However we’ve played as Leonidas in the beginning of odyssey and Jack the Ripper in his dlc. Both were also made by Ubi Quebec so it’s a given that they like the historical characters
@@trvpmusic2569 Have you ever considered the position of the Japanese people who looked forward to the games? The reason we talked about it this time is because a trailer was released.
You've properly researched history, even though Yasuke's family crest is Toyotomi Hideyoshi? Please don't be silly. How can you be anything other than egoism if you can't respect the history of the country?
I am cool with the female ninja, they are literally in the Shogun show. Perfect. The samurai character choice is a bit weird but it doesn’t affect the game, but having just watched Shogun would have preferred to be a native Japanese samurai but it’s fine. As for the pricing it’s pretty bad but I’ll, just wait for it to get cheaper.
Many likely didn't read some leak from 2023 that as you said, had information wrong. I personally am more offended that we have cultural appropriation occuring once again because the studios know the Asian community is less likely to fight back if it's a black character.
The biggest problem is no doubt the horrible micro transactions, ultimate edition price, and season passes (on a single player game I might add) Then there is the complete change of AC combat where I feel like they just slapped AC on there to get sales because they are great games on their own. And finally it’s the constant need for diversity. I actually really like the idea of playing this dude and I hope we face racial conflicts and overcome them because of how nationalistic Japanese people are. Literally historically cutting themselves off from the world. Same with the woman shinobi I hope we get a Mulan type story with that. But the thing is I know we won’t. The reason Ubisoft did this was not to tell their great story it was to literally just be more diverse and it’s really sad because of how good the ideas are.
I payed for the ultimate edition of Ubisoft avatar game and it's the last time i ever even pre order a Ubisoft game. There still is no dlc from the season pass and it's been on sale from £120 down to £60 already wich is a gut punch. So i guess I'll wait for shadows to go on sale and be patched up because day 1 playthroughs these days are riddled with bugs n glitches and is weey overpriced
while frontiers of pandora was made by ubisoft, it was made by massive entertainment, the divisons ubisoft team..not an assassins creed team nor a far cry team. I wouldn't have put that much trust into a team unproven to make large scale rpgs.
Well all this hate that it’s getting better be noticed by the company and they better answer fans questions cause I just want the gameplay to be good and hopefully they don’t leave the world dead
These games take like 80-100 hours to finish the story not to mention side content. That’s like watching at least 50 movies. What would it cost to go to the theater and watch 50 movies…?
I was a big fan of afro samurai an that was based on Asuka so I don't have an issue with him. I just dont want to play as a pre determined gay guy. hopefully Ubisoft respect other cultures an make the relationship thing optional other then then that im all in
I don’t know why everyone acts like ac games are bad. Valhalla is one of my favorite games ever. Currently about 60 hours into my first Elden ring playthrough and I like Valhalla more. Ac is the best open world series out there besides maybe red dead redemption.
@HahahMamaman black flag is based in the Caribbeans with a WHITE protagonist and they made a Caribbean protagonist with a DLC instead of him being the main character in the main game, guess what? As a Caribbean person its my favorite game of the series not because it features my birth place and home but because the story was so engaging i didnt even think about "wow why am i playing as a white guy?" It didnt even cross my mind or register to me
@@HahahMamaman and now here we have those same people complaining and crying about a protagonist race in a land that it doesn't belong to...like how was i supposed to feel about Black Flag then? Lmao
Great video as always, Lono. I'm certainly looking forward to this game. Will wait till I see gameplay to possibly pre-order or might just wait for it to come out. Not too concerned about missing out on a Pre-Order bonus mission. What version of the game will you be getting?
I pre ordered the collector's edition. I don't really pre order collector editions for AC games, but this time was an exception xD As far as "historical accuracy" I think people are quick to forget that the Apple of Eden was a thing that granted the user, various powers in the original trilogy xD
Remember when people was saying elden ring was trash it's too hard or it's too long and look at those haters now hyping up the dlc calling it game of the year it's fake outrage watch when assassin's creed shadows come out the majority of TH-camrs that hated this game will be the same ones streaming it on TH-cam the only word too describe them is hypocrites.
Yeah but in all the other AC games they never used a real historical person, it's always been fictional made up main characters in the past and you go around meeting historical figures... They could of made Yasuke someone you meet like all the other famous historical Japanese people you're going to meet... When did they ever use a real historical person as the main character in the other AC games???
very good analysis of this ridiculous “controversy”. my initial reaction was an eye roll at the seemingly forced diversity, but when I realized it was Yasuke I changed my mind because he was an actual historical figure, actual Samurai in armor or not. Any criticism for the female shinobi is also stupid because people simultaneously loved Blue Eye Samurai, and she was even more unrealistically capable at manhandling full sized samurai men
People are angry because in every single representation of every culture, it was a native citizen. AC in america was represented by a native american, AC valhalla was represented by you guessed it, a norse man. The list goes on until you finally reach AC Shadows. The stigma that asian american (particularly the men) don't have representation is particularly true and shines so bright here. It isn't about yasuke being a japanese historical figure. It's about the native representation. Yasuke could have been implemented as a main story quest line. Perhaps as a playable AC DLC. There were many ways to implement such a character, but to completely gloss over the fact that every character had a native male role represented until eastern asia... It's obvious why there's outrage. Your point in this video is ridiculous, as it argues for the historical accuracy of such a figure and no one gives a dime about it nor are most of the people that are "against" the historical accuracy of whether yasuke is a samurai give a dime about it. They are outraged because the cycle for representation ended at an asian male lead role. Your video is sending us back to the tom cruise as the last samurai era and it's ridiculous lol.
@@HahahMamaman or perhaps those of the woke persuasion are the ones spreading misinformation as that that is their goal to normalize their revised history.
There's no supporting documentation that shows he was a Samurai. If there is I'm open to reading it. Also, today Ubisoft said he's gay. This seems to be pandering and pushing an agenda. I don't know how not to come to that conclusion. Also also, there are plenty of Japanese people complaining about this. So for you to say Japan is cool with this just doesn't line up.
@@ReforgeGamingTheir article heavily implies it. Ubisoft partnering with Professor Sachi Schmidt-Hori ,who is an LGBT activist, says she interested in gender and sexuality and male male love in medieval Japan. Going on about this character will experience attraction to different types of people, romantically. People for the LGBT community are praising this.
@@ReforgeGaming As for the saying you said Japanese people are cool with it, I realize that was a mistake as I pulled that from another video just before yours played. I apologize for that, I was wrong.
what about Assassins Creed Freedom Cry DLC and Assassins Creed Liberation spinoff....the protagonist of those games were ppl of color ..... this was back in 2014.....these ppl that are complaining do not play games.
@@notslucis9977well Neos character was based off Willam Adam’s who was an actual Samurai and got tons of actual historical books and not fan factions about him. Neo also wasn’t about killing Japanese people but killing demons. Conculsion is not race but the message they are trying to give.
pre order sales are a niche subset of people so making assumptions about a game’s future financial success based on pre orders I feel is a bit early. Based on the negative feedback on this game I doubt that it is helping. the subset of die hard ac fans of course will b preordering. I will definitely play this game even tho it does pander to a woke agenda because I am an ac fan. but Saying this game is doin great this early? idk. I would disagree also w the opinion that this game is not pandering. Of course it is! Inclusion is a requirment these days in the games industry. It’s part of the woke agenda to make silly decisions like this based on sexual preferences and race and forcing gamers to be part of it is just wrong. People cant just play a fun game without having some racial or sexual agenda forced down their throats and this game is no exception. sorry but whoever does not agree is not awake.
And I mean it’s a game set in Japan with the assassin style this game is going to sell extremely well if I was not a long time assassins Creed fan, I would still buy it for the historical setting because I love ancient Japan and I’ve actually been studying it for the last few weeks and it’s set in the perfect time period also.
@@emmaelstad341 I have not heard or read that anyone is mad over naoe. I will say tho yasuke should have been a side character like Leonardo da Vinci or Cleopatra it's dumb it was clearly woke and now I know It was done for DEI reasons cause Ubisoft just said he was LGBTQ+
You got hate baited by that article? It's literally the same feature that was in Odyssey and Valhalla too. You have the option to romance anyone. If you want them to be straight, just go for the straight options just like in those games. I swear, people are just looking for and making things up to hate now.
@@halosaft Oh No I’m not rage baited by none of this lol. I’m just saying that the outrage will continue just because. Ubisoft are laughing their asses off while people lose their minds over stupid shit and ignore how they are pricing these games and hide the gameplay
They could have made both protagonist based on historical people: Yusuke and Fujibayashi Yasumasa (the actual son of Fujibayashi Nagato). "Fujibayashi Nagato is a historical figure who will appear in the 2024 video game Assassin's Creed: Shadows.[4][5] Historically, Nagato was not known to have fathered a daughter, with his only recorded son being Fujibayashi Yasumasa." or made the female protagonist based on a historical figure.
People still would have cried. You’re avoiding the point. It’s been stated very clearly that no matter where you place a black person in a game in 2024 there’s going to be some vocal movement against it. Black peopke can’t be in games where they “don’t belong” And now black people don’t belong in places where they actually existed.
the girl existed, and I thought most critics were abt the fact that Yasuke was historical (and not bc he was black) so why replace him with another historical figure if that's the issue?
I really appreciated this deep dive, im seeing so much unhinged anger at the characters of this game that is super unwaranted, and largely fueled by racist garbage and anger at the monitization. This was a breath of fresh air. I also really appreciated you bringing up the counterpoints, and especially bringing up the old job posting from 2018. I wish people could pivot the discussion to the actual important controversies of the characters, most notably if a real historical figure should be playable, and the ability for him to be gay in the options. Let me make this super clear, there is nothing wrong with an LGBT character at all. However, it is weird to overwrite a real person as a sexuality or gender that they are not. I think there is a really important discussion to be had here, of if it is ok for players to be able to make that choice Nonetheless, I really thought this video was well done, I love the angle you took, and I think you covered things beautifully and thoughtfully while still also acknowledging the gameplay frustrations that people may have (monetization mainly)
The problem is that the objections aren't based on hate or racism. But you don't hear those arguments because defenders scream from the rooftops that those are all the arguments or trolls make those arguments. The real arguments this is Ubisoft's racism by introducing another white savior into an Asian story who needs to "save the Japanese from oppression" (words taken directly from ubisoft marketing material), so there is racism, Asian erasure but this time instead of being white he's in black face. The open whitewashing of Japanese culture, instead of respecting Japanese culture they use it as a skin suit to promote their very white, very western values. Otherwise known as cultural colonialism or xenophobia, take your pick. Not to mention that the female story isn't based in Japanese culture at all, it's another gender bend where they will take the story and/or characteristics from an actual character and make them "hers", but her story will be every bit westernized (judging by what we have seen). Again, ignoring actual Japanese culture and how the female experience was in these days. Instead, we get another girl boss. Even the gay stuff, that's just more Western views forced onto Japanese culture where they just don't fit. Especially in this era. So no, it's not that the people upset are racist. It's that Ubisoft is being racist, disrespectful, xenophobic, and west supremacist , but nobody is paying any attention to it because so many are focused on (obsessed) with race they can't even comprehend that Ubisoft is being EXTREMELY racist towards Asians and Asian culture in general. The fact that so many can't even see they are openly supporting racists is both very sad and not unexpected.
@jdzspace33 lmao being gay isn't a "western view", that's absolutely wild. Anyways, what I said is that there is a massive amount of discourse around this game that is simple bigotry, which distracts from the genuine issue. One of which, is the xenophobia discourse, which I think is extremely important. It would be weird to not be able to "save imperial japan" as a Japanese person, and I also absolutely agree with how often Asian cultures are white washed, culture vultured, and so much more. The problem is, this is not the argument most people are making. I have seen very very very few people actually bring up this issue, which is a real shame. Additionally, Assassin's Creed has always told stories about groups that are oppressed in different settings. That's the entire point. A black immigrant being in a country that is very well known for being a monoculture is a powerful story about a person being subjected to oppression by another group. I don't see how this is any different Typical Asian culture colonization is disgusting, and it's so common with such little attention given to it. These are important things to discuss, especially as we come to see what the story and game itself entails. I wish the discourse online could recenter itself back to topics (like yours) that genuinely matter
@@jdzspace33 I also wanted to add that I think the "white savior" idea of Yasuke is misdirected. He's a historical person. He was an actual retainer, and therefore a protector of a certain person or peoples.
With the Ultimate edition controversy for both AC shadows and Star Wars Outlaws are the same people going to have a melt down over the pricing for Space Marine 2, or is it just cause their "woke" games?
Honestly the hate. Because the samurai is black. It's just because it's ubisoft If they made the Samurai japanese, then you'll be saying it's too much like Ghost tsausuma I also think that it doesn't matter what game comes out these days. People are always gonna slander it. No matter what the is game's still gonna come out. People are still gonna play It. And they're still gonna make millions a pound of it. Why do you waste your time in Disliking Videos to me it is pointless
Well I mean this is Ubisoft we’re talking about, somehow-someway they will fuck this up. And yes people will play it, and some of those people are gonna be shitting all over it.
You’re conducting an observation on the pre-order of a game that was just announced and open for pre-order and assuming its trajectory from that. I just need to point that out that that’s probably not the best observation from this early of a point. I somewhat agree with your other points, but I do think it’s possible we’ll see a significant drop in sales. Been an AC fan since 2007, and from my observation alone I’ve personally seen thousands in my own sphere who are irritated about several things here. If I’m seeing that in my own sphere I could only imagine how many others are irritated. I’ve seen a pretty healthy mix in Japan too.
You're literally holding out hope that a game will fail.. That's where you are in life right now. Think about that. Also, your "sphere" is what? You and junk you watch? Lastly, you aren't seeing anything in Japan. Stop it. An entire country can't be summarized by some nobody online. You have zero clue what an accurate assessment of their reaction is. Well actually, you could look at how it's selling out there. But why would you do that am I right 😂
I see the opposite in Japan, Japanese twitter and TikTok are saying the opposite even Oda Nobunaga’s descendant pitched in but ofc those videos and text get sidelined from these hate channels 😂
We'll see how it sells. It doesn't even matter if it's pandering. If it LOOKS pandering, people will react nowadays, so the market will tell us how it does. The issue with the DLC comes from if it is complete and just barred off using a pass. That is just partitioning and selling parts of the game. Bad if that's the case.
Assassin's Creed isn't assassin's Creed and hasn't been since it went the rpg route. Now on yasuke it's a dei woke move because Ubisoft said he was gay so yeah
The only thing I hate about AC:Shadows is the lack of gameplay footage in the reveal, I respect their choice to make whatever characters they want but I do not respect their choice to not show any gamplay! I can't get excited without seeing that first
Well the trailer teased some gameplay features, like dual assassination, hidden blade combat, the difference between the protagonists combat and stealth, the spy system e.t.c. Although I agree that we should wait for the gameplay reveal in 10 June before getting excited.
You can tell agenda is being pushed, woke bs since they made it obligatory to watch gay characters on this games after that I stopped buying it. But as I’m a man of integrity I have to tell the truth.Yasuke was a real samurai, that I can tell. Even in Dynasty warriors, which is based on historical figures but fictional gameplay, he does appears as a black samurai under nobunga. Female ninjas are truthfully skilled more than men cause of their flexibility and ninjitsu is more about stealth than frontal assaults plus dexterity is a must on a ninja’s way of life. Which women are naturally more capable to accomplish than men. Since their bones are more flexible too, if you don’t know how pregnancy works, their bones extend and then retract. While men can’t do this. That a woman can take on 3 males, depends on how she approach the situation. From a ninja’s perspective it is possible. Since ninjas are more than meet the eye. In ninjitsu dark arts are combined with martial arts plus the art of deception. So it is possible for a female to take on more than 3 men. Dark arts give ninjas impossible strength. So my take on this is Yasuke have earned a right to be there, the female ninja too. But gay characters shouldn’t be there cause Japan as many other nations were anti-gay, so that would not fit in there. Other than that I will not buy it but see how it goes.
This is by far so excessively disrespectful to not only Japanese culture tradition but even more so to the way of the honorable Samurai. this is just unbearably painful and just flat out sad.
@JosephCasimir-ci5bf Well, there're thousands of REAL Japanese samurai heroes. By real I mean they fought and duels, alot. And Ninja women? : "Although kunoichi have appeared in numerous creative works, including novels, TV-dramas, movies, and manga, Mie University historians have concluded that there are no historical records of female ninja performing reconnaissance and subversive activities in the same manner as their male counterparts."
Where yasuke may be an interesting person ! There were thousands of actual Japanese people that were samurai through actual records ! Why not honor the culture and it’s people in this game with them ! Also kunoichi did not serve as stealthy assassins they way western media portrays them ! They were used in getting close to targets , flirting with the target gathering intel and even sleeping with targets to achieve their mission ! Things that male shinobi could not do ! They used their strength of persuasion ! If there was a target to be removed it would require many teams of soldiers ( genin ) and these were usually male shinobi ! As there were fewer kunoichi within a clan ! Shinobi were farmers and many of the weapons were made from farming tools ! But they trained relentlessly in many japanese warrior arts and eventually formed their own art ! There were often dressed as Shinto monks , blacksmiths ! Vendors ! And etc ! The traditional black garb was usually never in use except in the form of plays in the form of kabuki theater and other festivals . And many other apparel that they used to blend in ! So even though there were kunoichi ! They were not used in combative missions or assassain missions ! More as tools of infiltrations ! They were spies and even mercenaries that were usually acting out orders from another daimyo !
Bro assassins creed has literally never been very historically accurate or correctly portrayed the cultures that some of these characters come from. It it what it is
And wtf is your point, you could say the same thing of every white dude put into the same type of situation. I swear to God you people say you're not racist, but the sec you see a black dude you throw fits and using leaps in logic.
@@imnotblindbutiloveblindfol8449 yea I agree ! I have literally played almost all of them except for unity ! I agree that there has never been emphasis on accuracy ! But accuracy is nice to have ! Of course it’s not mandatory ! But I think a lot of people also prefer accuracy ! But I agree with you on the AC series never being about historical accuracy ! But there are many times the developer has claimed to be very accurate I believe . To me I’m not really bothered by it as it is a videogame and I expect quite of bit of fantastical freedom , but I think alot of people are bothered by it ! I’m pretty laid back on these kinds of topics . But I do see why so many people are complaining ! I dont really like when they try to put aside accuracy for the sake of pushing agendas and we all know that is why they do it ! I don’t mind then sacrificing accuracy for the sake of storytelling or other reasons , but when they do it just to push propaganda ! I don’t really like that ! For example I watched Vikings Valhalla and they took the part of a village chieftain and made that person a black woman . There were no female jarls during the time of the Vikings , and there were no black female warriors leading these villages ! I can accept it if it was for the sake of the story ! But it wasn’t ! It was simply to push an agenda ! And I feel people should be able to voice their opinion on inaccurate portrayals ! It doesn’t mean they are racist ! They just prefer a bit more accuracy . As do I .
Personally I think its just a dumb concept at its core. Not to sound racist at all, cause im not, but it really muddies the waters for black characters and actors. I cant even tell anymore what roles are pandering and what arent because its so constant. It not only hurts other people and cultures, it hurts black people themselves
How would this "help" the game 🤦♂️🤷?? We were obviously going to buy it for amazing dlss,dlaa frame generation features set in Japan. This issue is different from the future sales of this game!
The laboration around the truth has no limits lol. Ubi chose Yasuke for marketing reasons to attract neglected audiences, to increase the number of players and more money ;) The last time we had a black protagonist was 10 years ago, this is the truth, period. Nothing against black people, it is the Ubi's business decision here in question because they have deliberately chosen this story over many other and more popular real Japanese characters and stories during that era. Why add the brute Samurai in the game? Wasn't the ninja enough? Of course not. Follow the money! Without a proper hack/slash, protagonist Ubi wouldn't be able to sell easily the game to a huge audience of gamers and particularly those who didn't like the Mirage and rated it low. Ubisoft might get this right? Faaarrrrr from it! I only need a blade and Assassin's Creed meaningful narrative in the game to play. So I'll enjoy reading the Assassin's Wiki and all about the Japanese Brotherhood, Master Assassin Hatori and his ninjas who have fought the Templars in Japan since 1549 to bring order on the island and protect the artefact, the sword of Eden. You carry on getting hyped about this duo of protagonists who are nothing more than Avengers tightened on another family drama and run on a parallel narrative with Assassin's Creed.
Obviously Ubisoft chose Yasuke to appease the rpg fan base. Those fans are their biggest money makers. They wanted to make everyone happy with 2 protagonists. Ubisoft is not trying to make a game for a small fan base. They’re a business not a charity. Whether you like it or not the majority of the fan base would rather play Valhalla than any ezio game. They chose Yasuke specifically, because he has one of the coolest backstories of anyone in Japan at the time and to separate themselves from every other Japanese game.
The girl is there to be a classic assassian, Yasuke is there for RPG elements (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla) it brings in both classic players and RPG players.....now did Ubisoft do this to make money? Yea they're a game company you think they run a billion dollar industry and make shi for fun? ofc they want as much money as possible however they can get it, they dont care how they do it and they planned this perfectly by exploiting the racism and bigotry that has been growing the last few years people would be enraged to support this game just see racist people suffer, im one of them 😂 im just waiting on gameplay but looking from the outside i already know what they're doing and yes they will be successful i wont support they next game though lol
I am a fool I will probably get this game unless there is something truly horrible with it… maybe DEI will be enough if it is truly that bad (I mean based on what I read about this game it could be bad enough for me to finally skip a AC entry).
Not exactly. The developers reveled that each character would have different romances. I mean they have leaked that Yasuke had a wife that died in the slaveships that brought him in Japan and he seeks revenge for her death.
LIVE DISCUSSION - th-cam.com/users/liveeg75eTo_nZg
I just don't think it's smart that people are pre-ordering the game already when they haven't seen any gameplay. I know the game will probably be good, but it's a real gamble if you haven't seen any gameplay.
I agree but if that's how they spend their money let em its bad they have to answer to themselves I always wait for gameplay that's all I know what they do is up to them 😅
I pre ordered because I'm a AC fan that being said I also did it on Amazon where if it turns out bad I can just cancel Amazon doesn't charge till it ships that's why I don't support places that charge before the item releases because things happen between the pre order and release like delays personal issues heck you could move in the time it takes for a game to release and have the thing shipped to a location that is completely vacant now lock in charging for pre orders should just never be allowed in my opinion way to much can go wrong between the the order and release date
@JoshuaVaughan-pi1sn atleast your smart about it you have a way set up much like me I go to gamestop and put 5 bucks down on any game I pre order just to have it there in case I want said game I did that with dragon's dogma, rise of ronin and stellar blade and if the gameplay looks fun I might put 5 bucks down for this too I only care about gameplay tbh all the other drama I could care less about

The only way to stop Ubisoft is not by hate.. it’s by competition. We need another game company to start a new franchise with stealth gameplay in historical times.
Like any company that does something you don't like - the best way to stop them is with your wallet. If you don't like it - don't buy it. Given its current performance projections, people seem to like it.
Unfortunately, my wallet is not huge enough to do anything. Someone else will always buy it, only good way to have an alternative otherwise AC will just dominate the market

The problem with this game is that it advertises it as historical fact.
If it had been promoted on the premise that it was a completely fictional story, this wouldn't have been an issue.
Nobunaga freed him from slavery and hired him, but he was not given a surname. If he could fight, why did he not do anything when Nobunaga was killed?
The samurai who found him after the war thought that Yasuke had nothing to do with the battle between the samurai. Therefore, Yasuke was let go and his whereabouts are unknown.
The problems with this game are as follows:
"Martin Luther King Jr was merely a portable shrine held up by a powerful white man with a good heart. This is a historical fact."
"Edison was not a great inventor, but a simple businessman who collected ideas from his talented black subordinates and made them into a business."
"Haiti gained independence in 1804 thanks to the efforts of those with white blood, and black people alone could not have done such a thing."
Japanese people feel discriminated against because the creators of this game think it is okay to treat Japanese history in this way.
In fact, some people have fabricated proverbs that do not exist in Japan, such as the following, in relation to the drama "Shogun."
「There's a Japanese proverb that says for a Samurai tobe brave, he must have abit of Black blood. (William Spivey, Mar 8, 2024)」
Im glad when people make sense in videos. The terminally online crowd is terminally online
None was made in this video
@@MrMultiPlatform a TON of sense was made actually! You just have "culture war" and or terminally online brain rot lol...don't like it? DON'T...BUY...IT!! It's really that simple my boy
thank you
@@MrMultiPlatformyou must have been watching a different video than me.
My issue with Shadows is excessive monetization. Season pass, battle passes, macro-transactions.
And as we know, if it's successful most publishers will make it standard. All of this Yasuke stuff is burying it. I see little to no talk about it. It's so frustrating
The season pass and pricing structure matches all the way back to Origins tho
Let’s you know where the gamers priorities REALLY are.
Attack the black guy while Ubi attacks your pockets.
It’s telling that it worked like gang busters.
Gamers would rather get robbed than play as a minority in a game
seriously, Ubisoft gives used car salesman vibes with all the tacked on microtransactions.
Don't buy or use that stuff
Ask yourself this. Would there be all the hate if the protagonist was a caucasian man? Like the movie “The Last Samurai” starring Tom Cruise. “Historical accuracy”, “diversity” and saying it’s “woke” is just a smoke screen to fuel hate.
You are not getting the point. If yasuke would have been a side character and later put into a DLC or spinoff story for just him it would sell like hotcakes. If they make an African assassin's greed game and you played as chrisptopher Columbus what would you be saying then?
Would you have the same non solaunche if it was a game about liberation of slaves in America but you played a white slave because history shows there was white slaves
i agree that some are doing that, but not all
Actually, when the Last Samurai came out, people said the same thing, but social media wasn't a thing back then.
@@theneoreaper6753 why does the black characters has to be a side character?
This creator needs to go back and review all info on the guy. He was not a strong warrior. He was strong in carrying or picking up heavy objects.
Literal people from japn said he had the strength of ten men and was in the battle with him fighting.. so wtf are you talking about?
Somebody’s missing historical context. And it’s not the TH-camr :)
Was Afro Samurai DEI? Based of the same dude
no because it made sense and for the most part was lore accurate.
Its fuking anime dumbass.
Has anime ever consider itself historically accurate? Also your talking about something made years ago. I swear people nitpicking things made years ago
@@theneoreaper6753so what your basically saying is no, because we didn't have this culture war trend going on back then.
@@theneoreaper6753 didn't he fight a robot in that? So how is that at all accurate? Also I'm pretty sure Afro Samurai takes place in the future so I ask again how is that accurate?
@@theneoreaper6753 Literally right now as we speak.. the outrage is over. The topic is done. Because there's many people from Japan going to another platform expressing their opinions on the topic and providing evidence that he was a samurai.
Basically a kosho translates into a retainer ...
Kosho is a young man serving a busho, a koshō acted as a bodyguard, secretary, attendant and will eventually become a samurai himself.
Both yasuke and Adam became retainers.. retainers we're considered samurai back then all these Japanese people said that they're both samurai.
Bushi and retainer are both samurai. The fact that people are still on this topic.. is ridiculous.. matter of fact maybe they're not on this topic anymore.. since that came out.
The new topic is he's lgbtq.. simply because you can romance anybody.. so they took that as lgbtq... How is that any different from the dragon age series? or baldur's gate 3 ? Mass effect? Even assassin's Creed Odyssey .....Where is the outrage for those games?
Where is the outrage for NIOH... If you guys want to show an outrage for that game then you guys will be more credible..
It's like whenever you guys reach a roadblock.. you look for something else to go on.. first it was said he didn't exist and he was a made-up character that was thrown in Japan... That backfired... Then they went on to say he wasn't a samurai.. that back fired... They said the Japanese people are outraged.. people from Western countries were going to the Japanese version of the TH-cam video and putting thumbs down. If Japan is outraged why are they making videos on another platform.. saying that he was a samurai? Why is the game ranked number one selling game in Japan? We're talking about Amazon and PlayStation.. ...
Thank you for continuing to apply a modicum of thought into your discussions. Searching the game on TH-cam reveals how easy it would be to pander toward bigotry and outrage. Keep it up!
My pleasure!
I’m playing it idgaf about the protagonist being any color
Im interested in the game but i will wait til a reduction in price. And whatever the gameplay looks like.
Lol I want to see gameplay before I make any choice of purchase
This is the most important comment I think. Love the story ideas so far? Hate them? Doesn't really matter nearly as much as Ubisoft hasn't shown a scrap of actual gameplay.
So real. It's dumb to buy without getting to see the real product.
They are going to show us gameplay at Ubisoft forward on june 10.
Shinobi has alot of historical evidence. Thats like saying vikings weren't real. Like how video game you tubers are magically historical experts on feudal Japan.
ikr i have seriously seen people in comment sections saying stuff like there no way yasuke was a samurai he was a slave of nobunaga , like as if they where alive in feudal japan or something.Even if he wasn't real yasuke was used in media before back then no one ever aid anything like he aint really a samurai
It's a fantasy franchise that's peppered with historical Easter eggs and locations. As long as it that still I'm buying it.
America is so weird im worried what will happen if any of you have any real problems then if someone doesnt like a game
As shown in the video, the AC games have been steadily increasing in sales since Origins, and it is highly doubtful that a black samurai and a ninja girl is going to stop AC fans from picking this up. You also need to recognize that Yasuke is a very popular character in Japan, starring in several games created by the Japanese themselves. Making him one of the MCs was a very smart move, because there are a lot of people on both sides of the pacific that have been wanting to play as this character in a game like this.
In short; This game is going to sell very well.
I don't think you understand how business works.
@@zeblackboiHe understands and I share his argument. I think unisoft saw this long before any of us even begin contemplating it.
@@sarsaparillasunset3873 That word has zero meaning
@@firstblessings8777 You need to do some research.
@@zeblackboi Like the one you espousing here? 😆 🤣. Done all the research needed already lol.
I never pre order anymore, but I will be getting this game. Only reason I wouldnt buy a higher priced edition is because I never buy a season pass until I see the content in it.
Haven't played AC since it's first game. Will definitely buy it now just to play as Yasuke.
Your argument is kind of dumb.And it's kind of avoiding the point. out of all japan history. They chose the literal one black guy When they could have chose somebody like Miyamoto MusashiSo or Oda Nobunaga so saying the ubisoft isn't pandering is just a lie And when it comes to the pricing, I think it's ridiculous but I think it's going to be a new thing we're going to see across all AAA games
We looked into the pricing. They’ve been selling 2 DLC season passes as far back as Origins. It just isn’t new.
@ReforgeGaming Yeah, I just think it's overpriced for what your getting As well as I feel like season passes in a single-player game doesn't make sense and should be included in the game instead of hiding it behind a pay wall
Wait so ghost of Tsushima was based on a real war with fictional characters, but no one cried that they didn’t put real characters in it, but when assassin’s creed wants to make a game about a real historical figure it’s a problem, but at the end of the day, it’s a game a fucking game so guess what it doesn’t have to be historic accurate look at the assassin‘s Creed franchise please literally fighting gods in the desert in origins the pope use magic
i preordered ultimate edition purely to spite haters and help push up those sales statistics :P (reminds me of hogwarts legacy)
Yea I think the general public and japense people are just sick of these man children crying woke even me I didn't even care about the game until the next day with all the hate on TH-cam I'm waiting for gameplay and pre-ordering just to make these people mad and angry at the results lmao
Notice they ONLY talk about the dislike ratio on TH-cam every single day in Japan but completely ignore Japanese Twitter and TikTok and it being the number 1 pre-order there 😭😂
I also pre ordered out of spite lmao usually I wait for reviews but these losers pissed me off!
Bro me too, I cant wait to play as Yasuke
I think people also take into account that if Ubisoft did use a Japanese male character, they would have highly criticized the game as being a Ghost of Tsushima clone! They will say they are not being original…blah blah blah. People wanted devs to be original or have artistic freedom and look what has happened! Some people are just entitled, terrible people!
Yup I can totally see them saying that
I didnt even think about that yea thats true
They were GEARING UP to do exactly that. Up until the leak of Shadows.
@@yashaurel watch them complain about hexe being to much like the witcher series considering what it's supposed to be about 🤣
the reason why its not a Japanese man, will be the downfall of AC Shadows... couldve been a hit game of the year contender
I've enjoyed every single AC game since the first one so I gambled that I'll enjoy this one. I already pre-ordered the top tier and I can't wait to play it as soon as it's available!
Just here to confirm....the hate indeed helped 😂
Looks dope. I’m getting it.
The problem isn't yasuke being in the game, it's him being playable.
why?
Because his black. Nah I'm just kidding. It's because his story is not that interesting, it's fascinating but knowing how it ended with him it's sorted pointless to have him as a playable character. As a side character he suits it perfectly.
@@ReforgeGaming depending on when he's story in Japan ends in this game. It's just pointless to have him as a playable character because he was captured and sent away thus ending his time in Japan. But the conflict in Japan is still happening so why bother having him playable.
Also in all the other AC games the main playable characters were never real people... you were always a made up fictional character that went around meeting real historical figures... Why couldn't Yasuke just be a character you meet in the game and do some missions with him...
that's not the point because ALL not some ALL the main characters were fictional made up people, you then go around and meet real historical people and Yasuke could of just been a historical figure you meet throughout the game...
so saying "why don’t u go make ur own game and add what u want an don’t want" isn't a valid argument... name 1 main character from any AC game before Yasuke in AC Shadows that was a real person that lived?? bet you can't...
Bruh they only picked him because hes gay not cause hes black lets just get that out the way and wither way i wont buy this game not interested in lgbt games plus Ubisoft took my 150 dollars from my crew game so ill never buy anything involved with Ubisoft sorry south park this.mean yall too Ubisoft owe me and lots of other money for the crew game facts and now you want more money I wouldn't play this game if it was free i want my money back or you lost a fan and still not buying this game no interests
I preordered it on both PS5 and Xbox series x both ultimate editions I don't need to see gameplay because I already know I'm gonna have a blast
Same here😊
For me if I had both systems I would buy it for one of them only. I'm just genuinely curious why for both systems? Are there multiple people playing the game?

I had hoped that the Japanese Samurai Until now, the protagonist wasn't a historical figure, but now they've suddenly changed it. Please don't push the false egoism of diversity, not just in games.

I am cool with the female ninja, they are literally in the Shogun show. Perfect. The samurai character choice is a bit weird but it doesn’t affect the game, but having just watched Shogun would have preferred to be a native Japanese samurai but it’s fine. As for the pricing it’s pretty bad but I’ll, just wait for it to get cheaper.
The price is the same as every other AAA game
Many likely didn't read some leak from 2023 that as you said, had information wrong. I personally am more offended that we have cultural appropriation occuring once again because the studios know the Asian community is less likely to fight back if it's a black character.
The Asian community are the same scum bags who pushed Disney to crop out John boyega from the Star Wars posters lol
The biggest problem is no doubt the horrible micro transactions, ultimate edition price, and season passes (on a single player game I might add) Then there is the complete change of AC combat where I feel like they just slapped AC on there to get sales because they are great games on their own. And finally it’s the constant need for diversity. I actually really like the idea of playing this dude and I hope we face racial conflicts and overcome them because of how nationalistic Japanese people are. Literally historically cutting themselves off from the world. Same with the woman shinobi I hope we get a Mulan type story with that. But the thing is I know we won’t. The reason Ubisoft did this was not to tell their great story it was to literally just be more diverse and it’s really sad because of how good the ideas are.
Fake outrage, nothing burger. Just a bunch of angry dudes on twitter 😂 Just like Hogwarts Legacy last year, and Stellar Blade.

I payed for the ultimate edition of Ubisoft avatar game and it's the last time i ever even pre order a Ubisoft game. There still is no dlc from the season pass and it's been on sale from £120 down to £60 already wich is a gut punch. So i guess I'll wait for shadows to go on sale and be patched up because day 1 playthroughs these days are riddled with bugs n glitches and is weey overpriced

These games take like 80-100 hours to finish the story not to mention side content.
That’s like watching at least 50 movies. What would it cost to go to the theater and watch 50 movies…?
I was a big fan of afro samurai an that was based on Asuka so I don't have an issue with him. I just dont want to play as a pre determined gay guy. hopefully Ubisoft respect other cultures an make the relationship thing optional other then then that im all in
It is optional like how it was in odyssey and Valhalla
Very sound logic. I don't agree with it from a practical standpoint but it's fair game 👣
I've enjoyed every AC game I've played. The characters and story are secondary to the gameplay. I voted with my wallet and placed a preorder.
I don’t know why everyone acts like ac games are bad. Valhalla is one of my favorite games ever. Currently about 60 hours into my first Elden ring playthrough and I like Valhalla more. Ac is the best open world series out there besides maybe red dead redemption.
@HahahMamaman black flag is based in the Caribbeans with a WHITE protagonist and they made a Caribbean protagonist with a DLC instead of him being the main character in the main game, guess what?

Great video as always, Lono. I'm certainly looking forward to this game. Will wait till I see gameplay to possibly pre-order or might just wait for it to come out. Not too concerned about missing out on a Pre-Order bonus mission. What version of the game will you be getting?
Hope you enjoy it! I will likely get the collectors edition
I pre ordered the collector's edition. I don't really pre order collector editions for AC games, but this time was an exception xD

it's fake outrage watch when assassin's creed shadows come out the majority of
TH-camrs that hated this game will be the same ones streaming it on TH-cam the only word too describe them is hypocrites.
Yeah but in all the other AC games they never used a real historical person, it's always been fictional made up main characters in the past and you go around meeting historical figures... They could of made Yasuke someone you meet like all the other famous historical Japanese people you're going to meet... When did they ever use a real historical person as the main character in the other AC games???
Very sound and logical explanation.
Get woke go broke, simple as that. Well, let's see the market decides.
very good analysis of this ridiculous “controversy”. my initial reaction was an eye roll at the seemingly forced diversity, but when I realized it was Yasuke I changed my mind because he was an actual historical figure, actual Samurai in armor or not.
Any criticism for the female shinobi is also stupid because people simultaneously loved Blue Eye Samurai, and she was even more unrealistically capable at manhandling full sized samurai men
People are angry because in every single representation of every culture, it was a native citizen. AC in america was represented by a native american, AC valhalla was represented by you guessed it, a norse man. The list goes on until you finally reach AC Shadows. The stigma that asian american (particularly the men) don't have representation is particularly true and shines so bright here. It isn't about yasuke being a japanese historical figure. It's about the native representation. Yasuke could have been implemented as a main story quest line. Perhaps as a playable AC DLC. There were many ways to implement such a character, but to completely gloss over the fact that every character had a native male role represented until eastern asia... It's obvious why there's outrage. Your point in this video is ridiculous, as it argues for the historical accuracy of such a figure and no one gives a dime about it nor are most of the people that are "against" the historical accuracy of whether yasuke is a samurai give a dime about it. They are outraged because the cycle for representation ended at an asian male lead role. Your video is sending us back to the tom cruise as the last samurai era and it's ridiculous lol.

It's not pre-ordering well.
How so? It’s literally a top pre order right now lol
What are you doing here?
Lies
It is in Japan which is ironic
Bro, Japan women are waiting to play as Yasuke but with one hand. I hope you know what I mean
Probably gonna be like the last of us 2. But who knows
There's no supporting documentation that shows he was a Samurai. If there is I'm open to reading it. Also, today Ubisoft said he's gay. This seems to be pandering and pushing an agenda. I don't know how not to come to that conclusion. Also also, there are plenty of Japanese people complaining about this. So for you to say Japan is cool with this just doesn't line up.
They didn’t say he is gay. Lol
Oh and another falsehood. I never said “Japan is cool with this” lol
@@ReforgeGamingTheir article heavily implies it. Ubisoft partnering with Professor Sachi Schmidt-Hori ,who is an LGBT activist, says she interested in gender and sexuality and male male love in medieval Japan. Going on about this character will experience attraction to different types of people, romantically. People for the LGBT community are praising this.
@@ReforgeGaming As for the saying you said Japanese people are cool with it, I realize that was a mistake as I pulled that from another video just before yours played. I apologize for that, I was wrong.
Yes there is plenty of documentation, dumaz. He was a Samurai, cry harder about
what about Assassins Creed Freedom Cry DLC and Assassins Creed Liberation spinoff....the protagonist of those games were ppl of color ..... this was back in 2014.....these ppl that are complaining do not play games.
Issue not the color but the situation
Why couldn’t it just be a Japanese male
They certainly do play games. They are tired of companies pandering to specific ideologies and this most assuredly looks like pandering.
@@ojp5053why on nioh 1 the Japanese developer chosen a white savior as protagonist? 😅
@@notslucis9977well Neos character was based off Willam Adam’s who was an actual Samurai and got tons of actual historical books and not fan factions about him. Neo also wasn’t about killing Japanese people but killing demons. Conculsion is not race but the message they are trying to give.
They said the same about Suicide Squad, but look what happen 😂 it failed. I just think your an AC fan, kissing Ubisoft’s butt. Pucker up ❤
who told you it failed? just because you were too broke to buy?
pre order sales are a niche subset of people so making assumptions about a game’s future financial success based on pre orders I feel is a bit early. Based on the negative feedback on this game I doubt that it is helping. the subset of die hard ac fans of course will b preordering. I will definitely play this game even tho it does pander to a woke agenda because I am an ac fan. but Saying this game is doin great this early? idk. I would disagree also w the opinion that this game is not pandering. Of course it is! Inclusion is a requirment these days in the games industry. It’s part of the woke agenda to make silly decisions like this based on sexual preferences and race and forcing gamers to be part of it is just wrong. People cant just play a fun game without having some racial or sexual agenda forced down their throats and this game is no exception. sorry but whoever does not agree is not awake.
And I mean it’s a game set in Japan with the assassin style this game is going to sell extremely well if I was not a long time assassins Creed fan, I would still buy it for the historical setting because I love ancient Japan and I’ve actually been studying it for the last few weeks and it’s set in the perfect time period also.
No one is arguing about naoe
They are naoe isn't a male and every one's complaining amd angry thet they don't get a male protagonist that isn't black
They are not even remembering that she exists, the hatred towards black protagonism has even swallowed the Japanese protagonist
@@emmaelstad341 I have not heard or read that anyone is mad over naoe. I will say tho yasuke should have been a side character like Leonardo da Vinci or Cleopatra it's dumb it was clearly woke and now I know It was done for DEI reasons cause Ubisoft just said he was LGBTQ+
The hate will only grow now that Ubisoft confirmed both protagonists are LGBTQ+
He’s not gay it’s a option if u wanna romance him with a men
You got hate baited by that article? It's literally the same feature that was in Odyssey and Valhalla too. You have the option to romance anyone.
If you want them to be straight, just go for the straight options just like in those games.
I swear, people are just looking for and making things up to hate now.
Only from people that want to be hateful.
@@halosaft Oh No I’m not rage baited by none of this lol. I’m just saying that the outrage will continue just because. Ubisoft are laughing their asses off while people lose their minds over stupid shit and ignore how they are pricing these games and hide the gameplay
@@halosaft Seems like propaganda towards Assassins creed Shadows
They could have made both protagonist based on historical people: Yusuke and Fujibayashi Yasumasa (the actual son of Fujibayashi Nagato). "Fujibayashi Nagato is a historical figure who will appear in the 2024 video game Assassin's Creed: Shadows.[4][5] Historically, Nagato was not known to have fathered a daughter, with his only recorded son being Fujibayashi Yasumasa." or made the female protagonist based on a historical figure.
People still would have cried. You’re avoiding the point.
It’s been stated very clearly that no matter where you place a black person in a game in 2024 there’s going to be some vocal movement against it.
Black peopke can’t be in games where they “don’t belong”
And now black people don’t belong in places where they actually existed.
the girl existed, and I thought most critics were abt the fact that Yasuke was historical (and not bc he was black) so why replace him with another historical figure if that's the issue?
SSF13
I really appreciated this deep dive, im seeing so much unhinged anger at the characters of this game that is super unwaranted, and largely fueled by racist garbage and anger at the monitization. This was a breath of fresh air. I also really appreciated you bringing up the counterpoints, and especially bringing up the old job posting from 2018.
I wish people could pivot the discussion to the actual important controversies of the characters, most notably if a real historical figure should be playable, and the ability for him to be gay in the options. Let me make this super clear, there is nothing wrong with an LGBT character at all. However, it is weird to overwrite a real person as a sexuality or gender that they are not. I think there is a really important discussion to be had here, of if it is ok for players to be able to make that choice
Nonetheless, I really thought this video was well done, I love the angle you took, and I think you covered things beautifully and thoughtfully while still also acknowledging the gameplay frustrations that people may have (monetization mainly)
They never said he was gay. You will have the option to have relationships just like in Odyssey and Valhalla
@@ReforgeGaming Yes, true! That's why I said it's an option. They're not changing his sexuality, it will be a player choice
The problem is that the objections aren't based on hate or racism. But you don't hear those arguments because defenders scream from the rooftops that those are all the arguments or trolls make those arguments.
The real arguments this is Ubisoft's racism by introducing another white savior into an Asian story who needs to "save the Japanese from oppression" (words taken directly from ubisoft marketing material), so there is racism, Asian erasure but this time instead of being white he's in black face. The open whitewashing of Japanese culture, instead of respecting Japanese culture they use it as a skin suit to promote their very white, very western values. Otherwise known as cultural colonialism or xenophobia, take your pick.
Not to mention that the female story isn't based in Japanese culture at all, it's another gender bend where they will take the story and/or characteristics from an actual character and make them "hers", but her story will be every bit westernized (judging by what we have seen). Again, ignoring actual Japanese culture and how the female experience was in these days. Instead, we get another girl boss.
Even the gay stuff, that's just more Western views forced onto Japanese culture where they just don't fit. Especially in this era.
So no, it's not that the people upset are racist. It's that Ubisoft is being racist, disrespectful, xenophobic, and west supremacist , but nobody is paying any attention to it because so many are focused on (obsessed) with race they can't even comprehend that Ubisoft is being EXTREMELY racist towards Asians and Asian culture in general.
The fact that so many can't even see they are openly supporting racists is both very sad and not unexpected.
@jdzspace33 lmao being gay isn't a "western view", that's absolutely wild.
Anyways, what I said is that there is a massive amount of discourse around this game that is simple bigotry, which distracts from the genuine issue. One of which, is the xenophobia discourse, which I think is extremely important. It would be weird to not be able to "save imperial japan" as a Japanese person, and I also absolutely agree with how often Asian cultures are white washed, culture vultured, and so much more.
The problem is, this is not the argument most people are making. I have seen very very very few people actually bring up this issue, which is a real shame.
Additionally, Assassin's Creed has always told stories about groups that are oppressed in different settings. That's the entire point. A black immigrant being in a country that is very well known for being a monoculture is a powerful story about a person being subjected to oppression by another group. I don't see how this is any different
Typical Asian culture colonization is disgusting, and it's so common with such little attention given to it. These are important things to discuss, especially as we come to see what the story and game itself entails. I wish the discourse online could recenter itself back to topics (like yours) that genuinely matter
@@jdzspace33 I also wanted to add that I think the "white savior" idea of Yasuke is misdirected. He's a historical person. He was an actual retainer, and therefore a protector of a certain person or peoples.
With the Ultimate edition controversy for both AC shadows and Star Wars Outlaws are the same people going to have a melt down over the pricing for Space Marine 2, or is it just cause their "woke" games?
Honestly the hate. Because the samurai is black. It's just because it's ubisoft If they made the Samurai japanese, then you'll be saying it's too much like Ghost tsausuma I also think that it doesn't matter what game comes out these days. People are always gonna slander it. No matter what the is game's still gonna come out. People are still gonna play It. And they're still gonna make millions a pound of it. Why do you waste your time in Disliking Videos to me it is pointless
Well I mean this is Ubisoft we’re talking about, somehow-someway they will fuck this up.
And yes people will play it, and some of those people are gonna be shitting all over it.
You’re conducting an observation on the pre-order of a game that was just announced and open for pre-order and assuming its trajectory from that.
I just need to point that out that that’s probably not the best observation from this early of a point.
I somewhat agree with your other points, but I do think it’s possible we’ll see a significant drop in sales. Been an AC fan since 2007, and from my observation alone I’ve personally seen thousands in my own sphere who are irritated about several things here. If I’m seeing that in my own sphere I could only imagine how many others are irritated. I’ve seen a pretty healthy mix in Japan too.
Every AC irritates thousands. It happens every time it gets announced.
So if we look up any other AC trailer we will see similar downvote ratio? @@crash10125
You're literally holding out hope that a game will fail..
That's where you are in life right now.
Think about that.
Also, your "sphere" is what? You and junk you watch?
Lastly, you aren't seeing anything in Japan. Stop it. An entire country can't be summarized by some nobody online. You have zero clue what an accurate assessment of their reaction is. Well actually, you could look at how it's selling out there. But why would you do that am I right 😂
@@TheActionHank The Ubisoft Japan channel trailer has a worse dislike ratio than the international one. Explain that. Thanks.
I see the opposite in Japan, Japanese twitter and TikTok are saying the opposite even Oda Nobunaga’s descendant pitched in but ofc those videos and text get sidelined from these hate channels 😂
We'll see how it sells. It doesn't even matter if it's pandering. If it LOOKS pandering, people will react nowadays, so the market will tell us how it does.
The issue with the DLC comes from if it is complete and just barred off using a pass. That is just partitioning and selling parts of the game. Bad if that's the case.
Assassin's Creed isn't assassin's Creed and hasn't been since it went the rpg route. Now on yasuke it's a dei woke move because Ubisoft said he was gay so yeah
People just love feudal /sengoku time and I can’t wait for this game
ASSassins Cringe Shadowz....
GAYming is great in 2024........WTF....WOKEISOFT just trying to scoop up as much ESG scores as they can!
The only thing I hate about AC:Shadows is the lack of gameplay footage in the reveal, I respect their choice to make whatever characters they want but I do not respect their choice to not show any gamplay! I can't get excited without seeing that first
Well the trailer teased some gameplay features, like dual assassination, hidden blade combat, the difference between the protagonists combat and stealth, the spy system e.t.c.
Although I agree that we should wait for the gameplay reveal in 10 June before getting excited.
they always tease/announce with a cinematic... ac valhalla, star wars outlaws... gameplay likely in june
You act like they have to show more? You understand they have to only show only how much, right? Can't spoil it you realize?

Ultimate for sure
You can tell agenda is being pushed, woke bs since they made it obligatory to watch gay characters on this games after that I stopped buying it. But as I’m a man of integrity I have to tell the truth.Yasuke was a real samurai, that I can tell. Even in Dynasty warriors, which is based on historical figures but fictional gameplay, he does appears as a black samurai under nobunga. Female ninjas are truthfully skilled more than men cause of their flexibility and ninjitsu is more about stealth than frontal assaults plus dexterity is a must on a ninja’s way of life. Which women are naturally more capable to accomplish than men. Since their bones are more flexible too, if you don’t know how pregnancy works, their bones extend and then retract. While men can’t do this. That a woman can take on 3 males, depends on how she approach the situation. From a ninja’s perspective it is possible. Since ninjas are more than meet the eye. In ninjitsu dark arts are combined with martial arts plus the art of deception. So it is possible for a female to take on more than 3 men. Dark arts give ninjas impossible strength. So my take on this is Yasuke have earned a right to be there, the female ninja too. But gay characters shouldn’t be there cause Japan as many other nations were anti-gay, so that would not fit in there. Other than that I will not buy it but see how it goes.
Gawd i hate the woke junk. Just enjoy whatever story they wanna tell. "Ironically, that makes you the minority." Nice wordsmithing my dude!

They're not "pamdering" stop makin it out like that
I see nothing wrong with this
This is an agenda company not a gaming company
Where yasuke may be an interesting person ! There were thousands of actual Japanese people that were samurai through actual records ! Why not honor the culture and it’s people in this game with them ! Also kunoichi did not serve as stealthy assassins they way western media portrays them ! They were used in getting close to targets , flirting with the target gathering intel and even sleeping with targets to achieve their mission ! Things that male shinobi could not do ! They used their strength of persuasion ! If there was a target to be removed it would require many teams of soldiers ( genin ) and these were usually male shinobi ! As there were fewer kunoichi within a clan ! Shinobi were farmers and many of the weapons were made from farming tools ! But they trained relentlessly in many japanese warrior arts and eventually formed their own art ! There were often dressed as Shinto monks , blacksmiths ! Vendors ! And etc ! The traditional black garb was usually never in use except in the form of plays in the form of kabuki theater and other festivals . And many other apparel that they used to blend in ! So even though there were kunoichi ! They were not used in combative missions or assassain missions ! More as tools of infiltrations ! They were spies and even mercenaries that were usually acting out orders from another daimyo !
Bro assassins creed has literally never been very historically accurate or correctly portrayed the cultures that some of these characters come from. It it what it is
And wtf is your point, you could say the same thing of every white dude put into the same type of situation. I swear to God you people say you're not racist, but the sec you see a black dude you throw fits and using leaps in logic.
@@imnotblindbutiloveblindfol8449 yea I agree ! I have literally played almost all of them except for unity ! I agree that there has never been emphasis on accuracy ! But accuracy is nice to have ! Of course it’s not mandatory ! But I think a lot of people also prefer accuracy ! But I agree with you on the AC series never being about historical accuracy ! But there are many times the developer has claimed to be very accurate I believe . To me I’m not really bothered by it as it is a videogame and I expect quite of bit of fantastical freedom , but I think alot of people are bothered by it ! I’m pretty laid back on these kinds of topics . But I do see why so many people are complaining ! I dont really like when they try to put aside accuracy for the sake of pushing agendas and we all know that is why they do it ! I don’t mind then sacrificing accuracy for the sake of storytelling or other reasons , but when they do it just to push propaganda ! I don’t really like that ! For example I watched Vikings Valhalla and they took the part of a village chieftain and made that person a black woman . There were no female jarls during the time of the Vikings , and there were no black female warriors leading these villages ! I can accept it if it was for the sake of the story ! But it wasn’t ! It was simply to push an agenda ! And I feel people should be able to voice their opinion on inaccurate portrayals ! It doesn’t mean they are racist ! They just prefer a bit more accuracy . As do I .
Ahhh finally!! True words!!

The laboration around the truth has no limits lol.
Ubi chose Yasuke for marketing reasons to attract neglected audiences, to increase the number of players and more money ;) The last time we had a black protagonist was 10 years ago, this is the truth, period.
Nothing against black people, it is the Ubi's business decision here in question because they have deliberately chosen this story over many other and more popular real Japanese characters and stories during that era.
Why add the brute Samurai in the game? Wasn't the ninja enough? Of course not.
Follow the money! Without a proper hack/slash, protagonist Ubi wouldn't be able to sell easily the game to a huge audience of gamers and particularly those who didn't like the Mirage and rated it low.
Ubisoft might get this right? Faaarrrrr from it!
I only need a blade and Assassin's Creed meaningful narrative in the game to play.
So I'll enjoy reading the Assassin's Wiki and all about the Japanese Brotherhood, Master Assassin Hatori and his ninjas who have fought the Templars in Japan since 1549 to bring order on the island and protect the artefact, the sword of Eden.
You carry on getting hyped about this duo of protagonists who are nothing more than Avengers tightened on another family drama and run on a parallel narrative with Assassin's Creed.
Obviously Ubisoft chose Yasuke to appease the rpg fan base. Those fans are their biggest money makers. They wanted to make everyone happy with 2 protagonists. Ubisoft is not trying to make a game for a small fan base. They’re a business not a charity. Whether you like it or not the majority of the fan base would rather play Valhalla than any ezio game. They chose Yasuke specifically, because he has one of the coolest backstories of anyone in Japan at the time and to separate themselves from every other Japanese game.
The girl is there to be a classic assassian, Yasuke is there for RPG elements (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla) it brings in both classic players and RPG players.....now did Ubisoft do this to make money? Yea they're a game company you think they run a billion dollar industry and make shi for fun? ofc they want as much money as possible however they can get it, they dont care how they do it and they planned this perfectly by exploiting the racism and bigotry that has been growing the last few years people would be enraged to support this game just see racist people suffer, im one of them 😂 im just waiting on gameplay but looking from the outside i already know what they're doing and yes they will be successful i wont support they next game though lol

Well rumors are swirling now that both characters are LGBT....or at least you have the option to pursue romances in that nature...
Not exactly. The developers reveled that each character would have different romances. I mean they have leaked that Yasuke had a wife that died in the slaveships that brought him in Japan and he seeks revenge for her death.
