- You're WRONG about Assassin's Creed Shadows
It's fair to say that is a tonne of controversy surrounding Assassin's Creed Shadows; so much so that AC Shadows has been delayed until February 14th 2025.
But is the hate for Assassin's Creed Shadows all warranted? I don't think it is, and in today's video; we're going over why I think Assassin's Creed Shadows will be great.

What do you think of AC Shadows? Will you be playing? Be honest yet respectful please ✌️
Yes:)
I try not to listen to all the hype or hate a game has before it’s even released. I wait to play it myself to see what I make of it, and not go by what “the internet” says.
I remember being a kid and the only things you’d find out about a game is what you read in a magazine, then you buy and play the game and it far exceeds expectations, or it was a bit meh and it lived on the shelf gathering dust. There was none of this polarising media that drew up hate for a game before I had it in my hands… kinda wish we could go back to those innocent days
Don’t think I’ve resonated with a comment more. ❤️
Lit :')
I personally am new to assassin's creed, my first game was Valhalla, I got it as a gift from my friend last year on my birthday. I liked it. It's what got me into this franchise and currently I'm looking forward to playing black flag. When I saw how much outrage ubisoft was causing i got confused (I would like to mention as of now that I am NOT defending ubisoft, just giving my thoughts). People have been complaining about Odyssey and Valhalla not being assassin games when all games in the series have missions that involve "blending in" while wearing clothes that (would logically) completely give away the fact that you're an assassin and "assassinating" people in plain sight. I am NOT saying that games like god of war should be considered stealth games if that's the case, Im saying that if Odyssey and Valhalla have the things I mentioned, assassin's creed mechanics, and are canon to the franchise, then they should be considered assassin games too. And now they complain about historical innacuracy when it comes to a game that is part of a series of games that open up with the phrase "this work of FICTION was INSPIRED by historical events and characters", not to mention that the isu have existed from day one, which is weird because the isu have almost nothing to do with the real world and ubisoft said with their own words that they removed the crossbows to maintain historical accuracy, and people are comparing this whole crossbow thing with historical inaccuracies from the newer games when they existed within this francise from day one. Either I'm missing something here, or the ac fanbase is extremely hypocritical.
bro read my mind
I think it’s just the world we live in now - the culture feeds off hate unfortunately
No, the frustration is that there is an obvious political edge that leaks into creative decisions and there are GLARING unpolished aspects to much of the world and mechanics; and the inflation of larger companies under the pressure of shareholders and publishers leads them down this path of shamelessly hawking the tired system of “Pre order/deluxe edition/ monitize/we are that big company-you buy our games now/mechanics designed for longgg term play for monitizations lifespan.
Alot of the internet is just “hate” because there is a human feature that lives in us all, despite how noble you are or not, that gets a slight satisfaction of sticking it to the man and jumping in mob energy,etc; but objectively the yasuke and female protagonist features are a tired trope of large company dei(I know that term dei is used a lot. But in this case I’m using it very intentionally).
Even if they were thoughtfull about the hours of story and dialogue and character- building created around it, it is still very influenced around the fact that a board of decision makers think it
Would be the most widely review and profitable set of characters. And not a few creative minds saying “this would be the most natural and human or fun story.
Historically accurate perfection is not an issue in my opinion..they don’t have some profound responsibility to live up to that….but there is an obvious and tireing modern thing that is being done with this subtle tinge of righteousness; of making women and, queer and persons-of-color into the hero rolls. And you can smell when it’s being done with utmost creative sincerity and when it was pretty influenced by force or even with a lesser creative mindset at play. And it BLOWS my mind that out of all the DEI being forced into (righteously and with contempt) stories and games, they don’t explore things like a super bad ass west African game or something. Modern or historical. Instead they choose a very beloved, and very very isolated phenomenon of culture and history that is absolutely dripping with uniqueness and they place a character so out of place but bombastically present in such a world. Infact all that said. The idea of an African retainer or previous slave who happens to be much larger and stronger than the majority of that lands people, fucking shit up for the sake of an ideal or for the care of soemthing they love or even justice is a fun idea…..but there is just something about the way the corporate latches on to the remote little island of possibility of that, that is an unexplainable annoyance.
Man, i love your channel, you really know what ASSASSIN'S CREED is and the focuse
Thanks for the support dude!
Hey ironside ur a good guy
Exactly, these game have never been historically accurate, in regard to the complains about yasuke as protagonist in a game set in japan, ac revelations has an italian as protagonist and black flag a welsh instead a turkish and central american protagonist...
I hope they don't commit the same mistake ghost tsushima did beautiful world but too much land and barely anything happening because for the most part the worlds dead hopefully there's bigger feudal japan cities and the world isn't as empty
Hmm… well it’ll definitely be big, supposed to be slightly smaller than Valhalla; but they’ll definitely be some empty spaces for sure. As long as the cities are great and not too sparced out, I’ll be happy 😊
I think the controversy over yasuke is straight up racist and stupid
Agreed, also, a story about a black dude who works as a samurai in feudal Japan while also dealing with people who discriminate him would make for a pretty interesting story if you ask me.
@@LeonPacurar real
@@RLFNEdit_4.0racist?? How nobody cares about Yasukes skin colour or where he came from.
Do you even know the meaning of racism??
@@LeonPacurarnobody cares about the colour of Yasuke.
@@EudaimonV Japanese ppl do
This is a bad take and a complete obfuscation of what actually happened.
The torii gate is A torii gate, not THE torii gate.
That’s what I said? “On top of a half tori gate”
@@IronsideGeorge I meant to say that the torii gate could simply be a random torii gate from anywhere in the game, maybe destroyed at some point in the story.
I think people are reaching a bit with that one.
The other ones are fair complaints though.
I get what you’re saying, but I think with a little bit of thought maybe they should have recognised that it would be less controversial not to have our figurine on this. The reach for me is the historical history of Yasuke; which as there is very little about him, a bit of an embellishment should be ok.
@@IronsideGeorge Oh that's for sure. I'd say Yasuke should be a non-issue. But it's the internet. I get what you say with the torii gate though. At the same time, if it wasn't Ubisoft no one would care. Because people are actively looking for reasons to hate it.
Give me accuracy not DEI bullshit
Did you watch the video? Accuracy in Assassin’s Creed? In a game with Gods and magic weapons? The world can be accurate, but the story never is; it’s a game!
@@IronsideGeorge I did. We want a Japanese guy playing the lead. What century is it set in? The devs are pandering again like they did in Valhalla with the "gender fluid" character in the DLC. Rubbish.
Like fist fighting the Pope or driving a military tank created by Da Vinci with Ezio?
@IronsideGeorge weaving in their storytelling and fiction into historical events isn't the same as straight up lying and making complete fabrications about Japanese history as they've done this time. To compare them is utter nonsense. This comment and video screams of being ill informed. Sweet baby Inc did atrocious work on this and disrespected the Japanese people. Point blank period. Stop obfuscating that.
You even liked a comment above me showing how you can't see the difference. My god. That fact that you think completely rewriting history vs adding Sci fi into historical events is 1:1 is wild mental gymnastics 😂
@@IronsideGeorge you can't comprehend the difference between the fiction of ac games being weaved into historcal events vs sweet baby Inc advising ubisoft to make fake history inorder to check off boxes. Those are two totally different things
I would be surprised if ubisoft stays in business after all the bad publicity even if this game is good
Nah, It's gonna suck, no way
Why?
Just curious
@@sherripatrick7414 Cause it's a woke game
Game might be good as you say but am not sure I wish to support a company that hires and mentors women only, that’s not inclusive at all, before anyone attacks me I’d have the same view of hiring men only
That and the lack of sensitivity with the Tori gate incident.
Also the ghost of yotei her being a woman is not the issue it’s the activist voice actress playing her as well as sweet baby inc. being involved.
Yes some are going over the top with their comments but they do have an underlying reasonable point
Amazing.
You clearly have no idea how the AC lore works.
Conor is a fictional character therefore giving the freedom to create the fictional characters world relating it to the AC world in a historical event.
Whatever Yasuke dose and comes in contact with it fake.
Learn the difference between fictional and reality.
Legends and history.
So because the main character isn’t fictional (although clearly heavily embellished as we have an incredible limited amount of knowledge on him) making stuff up isn’t ok?
But with say, George Washington in the AC 3 expansion, whom goes mad with power and becomes an insane King, that is perfectly fine, because he isn’t the main character? They’re tonnes of other historical characters in AC with examples like this too.
@@IronsideGeorge Oboy George Washington going mad had to do with the AC lore and the fictional character we play.
Not with George Washington's actual history.
Focus.
With Yasuke they are presenting him as historical. They say it in their own dev video. "History first ".
They put Yasuke clearly for DEI, to push a certain political agenda.
I honestly just can’t see an issue in embellishing a character we know so little about. They’ll do the same for Oda Nobunaga and Hattori Hanzo too. As long as the world is historical, and not the story; as it’s a fictional game, I see no problem
@@IronsideGeorge omg the story of Nobunaga in game has to do with the fictional character of Naoe and the AC lore. Not his actual history.
In the case of Yasuke they are disrespecting Japanese history by presenting him as some kind of fully pledged high rank super hero saviour samurai warrior as in history.
You clearly have no knowledge of the AC lore.
Please focus.
@@EudaimonV bro he can't distguish between weaving fiction into historical events vs erasing and making fake history. He thinks these things are 1:1. There's no point even trying to explain it.
