I don't mind Yasyke and think people are overreacting. Especially those who clam he wasn't a Samurai. One we know very little about his history so we don't know what rank Nobunaga gave him. Two even if he wasn't a Samurai he could have still been trained to fight. And I'm pretty sure Naoe is Japanese so claiming you can't play as a Japanese character is absurd. Honestly I'll probably play most of the game as Naoe because her combat style as described fits an an Assassin's Creed game better. I grew up playing the Koei games set in this era a lot so I'm looking forward to seeing this era through a different game style hopefully without preferably absurdity like Oda Nobunaga turning into a Demon Lord. And I don't think more romance options for the characters is a bad thing if romance options are included in a game. I'll have them romance whoever my favorites are from the romanceable characters list and everyone else can romance who they want. More choice in things like romances in games is good IMO because it increases the odds of a character you want your protagonist to romance being available.
Why and how is your opinion supposed to be more valid then mine? Edit: Do I think Yasuke was really an assassin and a member of a secret order which had been battling another secret order for over a thousand years? No. But I think that would be a lot more feasible then the earthquake that devastated Lisbon in the 1750s being caused by an artifact being removed from a hidden temple (Assassin's Creed: Rogue)
I'm giving this game a major swerve. I've bought Ghost of Tsushima off Steam instead and am currently enjoying a second playthrough of that. It's the best game I've ever played on my PS5. And the graphics are even better on PC. Now that's how you make a Samurai game.
The chick is a Japanese assassin. I don't get why people keep saying that they want to play as Japanese character. Well, guess fu@king what, there is a Japanese main character. Wait until the game comes out and you've played it. If it is shit, then it is shit but there is also a chance that it could be a really great game.
@@RobPlayingVideoGames sadly it might come in 2025 or 2026 but I heard a movie is in development which will shed more light on part 2 and John wicks director is directing it so I have high hopes on it.
I'm going to buy it no matter how many haters that are that hates the game what is going to be with? I don’t give a damn I’m still buying the game. It’s gonna be fun no matter what.
@@mazinquartz9781 who cares, that has nothing to do with me buying the video game I’m going to have fun with the video game assassin‘s Creed shadows no matter what let them hate. They’ll get over it very soon.
@@mazinquartz9781 let them do inspection to the game. I don’t care. It’s already out no matter how much they change it before it comes out. It’s still coming out and I’m going to buy next Wednesday.
An assassins game should only have ninjas as playable characters,a samurai has a code of humour, Bushido,so why make half the game about a samurai MC🤷 Coz he's black ! I was hoping for a Tenchu type stealth game,loved those games.
Great video, this guy's funny. Now onto the game. I like everyone else am happy to see that AC has finally come to feudal Japan. I agree with @LoveGamingNewtro the main character should be Japanese, but I do believe that Naoe is in fact native Japanese (Born in Iga, the birthplace of ninjutsu) so this is not really an issue. And I like that Yasuke is in this game, historically, he was in Japan during this time period. However, he was a samurai, not a shinobi, but I believe they made him a playable character for the fact that he is a foreigner, so as players we have a relatable character. The LGBTQ+ element really doesn't bother me, but I don't understand why it had to be made into a big deal, like Ubisoft is trying to prove a point, it's fine, none of us really care (when it comes to gaming!), we just want to play cool games, make the characters whatever you want, as long as it's relevant to the game and to the story. I will buy this game, because I've been waiting for it since the very beginning. A game franchise about assassins, And Japan famously known for being the home of history's greatest assassins. Finally we are here ladies and gentlemen!
Excellent video as always, and here is our 1st true disagreement...😢. Two part reply; 1st a would suggest a fantastic book by T Lockley called African Samurai. Lockley is a master historian. U will be engrossed with the story and impressed with the amount of work he does in his resources. My two part disagreement; Many of the Samurai were rumored bisexual. 2ndly...who cares? There actually were other blacks in Japan in the 15, 16 hundreds, (not many), but how many 17 year old boys are bitten by spiders and fight crime? If the story is believable and the game plays well - the ethnicity of the characters make no difference. I hated the disparaging remarks on Days Gone about the main character. Now there's an issue here. We actually have a lot of traditional Japanese games right now. We do agree on pre-order just because it's Ubisoft. But lm definitely interested in the game (mainly because the real yasuke was fascinating). I just hope they don't rush the story, I think it has a chance to do something interesting in the world of gaming.
That’s a great point Guy Lee! Really great to see a different point of view… like I said I think with the reputation with Ubisoft has hopefully they prioritise STORY over anything else… I hope they haven’t done it to tick a box, now if the story is compelling enough and deep enough then it is a different story… so I guess let’s see… When it’s out it would be great to see what you think! Let’s wait to see when we see some gameplay… also will check out that book!
I was playing Spider-Man 2 and I had to help a man ask another man out on a date or impress him some crazy shit. Why would they put that in the game? I'm not even gay. Anyways, I'm so sick of these call of duty's assassin Creed games come out with something different. Something fresh and new. I'm not buying it. I still got to finish Ghost of toshima.
bro icl i cant wait for this. New engine meaning they had to rebuild the parkour got me gassed stylll. I genuinely dont get why there bare controversy over Yasuke coz he was an actual person with a sick story that deserves to be told. Anyway loving the content broski keep it up g.
This game looks fire. Who cares about who the character is? Why is it a problem whenever there is an afro Samari as the lead role. If you study history the earliest Asian people were dark skinned people.
Well I was looking forward to this........probly not going bother now tbh. I'm sick of having the world's agendas pushed down my throat. Great video as ever bro!
Re: "I'm sick of having the world's agendas pushed down my throat." The annoying thing is, most of the world couldn't care less and doesn't give those pushing woke agendas the time of day. Therefore, they tend to operate in nice tolerant countries that allow them to live with the freedom to express themselves... no good deed goes unpunished.
people of the World looking for this in the games, or looking for that the Game but Company's only looking for Money feed them well make them Happy.$1.00 DISC SALE $120.00 MOST TIMES.,,,,,,,Good advice wait till drop the price 50% why you must finish the game the first day out;;;;I just buy Witcher ps4 for $5.00 nothing wrong..
I’ll give it a go, but I’ll wait for the price to naturally drop… I pre-ordered mirage and spent a pretty penny… it’s now £20 in CEX 😂. I’m sure this release will follow the same pricing path so I’ll wait.
I play AC to be an Assassin and not to be a brute which is why I love the go back to formula that was Mirage and why I would play the square jaw girl who looks to have had a edit to make who look different or as I call it the ugly makeover devs feel the need to do to us women. I have never seen a Japanese woman with such a strong jaw. But, If I will play and only play when I get this on discount. I will choose her simply because that suits me more. Honestly, waiting all these years for AC Japan was such a disappointment.
Well it’s first of all the reputation of modern day gaming… Then it’s the reputation of Ubisoft and then the price they are charging for a game we’ve seen no gameplay for… If we saw what the product was like and the gameplay then my opinions may be different… It’s like selling a car to someone and saying trust me it’s gonna be insane but ill show you it later 😂🙏
@@Salis121 but what genuinely bad games have ubisoft made? Assasins creed series is fantastic, the crew series is fantastic, Ghost recon series is fantastic, rainbow 6 is fantastic, Riders Republic is fantastic, Tom clancies series is fantastic. U may not like these games but the Sales speak for themselves, and AC Shadow will make all u doubters real Quiet
14:08 Weirdly, I really dig the female protagonist this time. For some reason the eyebrows on females is one of the things that highly impacts my attraction to them.
Nice bro! Just an instant observation for me… but I’m actually intrigued to see some gameplay to this!! Hope there is proper character development in these characters!
Massive AC fan but, I'm waiting until i find out more about the game first some gameplay would be nice 😅. I want it to be more about assassin's vs templars the last 2rpgs seemed to forget about them or not feature them enough
I have also been a life long fan of assassins creed. In fact i haven't played anything else in so long. I decided to start again from 1 and im currently over half way through Valhalla!! Was hoping to get caught up for the release of Valhalla and I was nowhere near 😅. Maybe I'll finish Valhalla and Mirage in time for the release of Shadows.... Probably not though 😢
@@LoveGamingNewtro worst thing is I'd played all of them at release apart from Valhalla so most of them were at least a second play through this time round 😅
@@LoveGamingNewtro 166 hours. I loved every minute of it! Except chasing the paper tattoos... But everything else was money. Each thing completed was such a sweet hit of dopamine lol
What I don't like is the fact that we know why they put Yasuke in the game. They don't want to tell his story, this is a racist and sexist company which has abused employees. AC Japan has been requested for more than a decade now. The only reason why they picked Yasuke is because they typed in: "first black person in japan" and made a game about him. Ubisoft doesn't care about you as a consumer, it never has and never will.
The "historian" they used is basically a pdf file, I'm pretty sure she thinks age is a social construct. So they pretty much hired an insane Japanese lady that no one in Japan can identify with.
Ubi's fault because they just had to make the entire England playable. So they were forced to create boring alliance stories in all areas. The game could be 15 hours shorter. The 45 hour mark sounds right, but not 60 hrs.
Bro i realy miss the old days of ubisoft😢the old ac games were great i remeber playing ac 1 on my ps3.those were the good old days😢btw ❤ ur content Bro do u like these new ac games?
I loved the older titles but I also loved odyssey and origins, I like Valhalla but it just dragged on a lot for me… I was drained by the end of it… mirage I liked cos it felt like the older titles but wasn’t special but again a beautiful game!
This will be the 1st Assassin Creed's game I will not purchase..... like you said, every flipping game now.... ramming it down our throats.... 1st one NOT BUYING
Tried playing one of the recent ubisoft assassins creed games. Forces you to create a login so they can strip you of your privacy, then proceed to tell you that "this game was created by people with dIfFeReNt sExUaL OrIeNtaTiOns aNd gEnDerS". Where it used to say something like "this game was created by people of different religious beliefs and ethnic backgrounds" or whatever. (I'm paraphrasing on what it used to say.) Nevertheless, absolutely disgusting and nothing short of atrocious. I'd rather use my eyeballs as pin cushions than to support or promote this kind of crap.
@@LoveGamingNewtro ive been waiting for a AC game in japan for years and now we finally have one, and im not gonna be nitpicky with the race of the characters cause it doesnt really matter to me
@@hryshihoshshibu8984if what you’re saying is true then imma consider buying it. But I’ve seen different sources stating that both characters are ghey.
@@worlds_greatest_detective6667 And did you see what sources they are relying on..?? The devs just stated that you can choose your partner. If you know the social media, you can clearly say that's more than enough for them to create a new controversy...
@@hryshihoshshibu8984 so you’re saying that I can have em straight too right? Well ty for this information, I definitely hate Woke Ubisoft but I was a huge fan of the older AC until Syndicate, never liked the newest trilogy and I was looking forward to Shadows. Idc if Yasuke is black if he’s well written but forcing LGBT is a must NO for me. Thank you for clarifying me the information and you’re right about the social media, they’re garbage’s that always want clout.
@hryshihoshshibu8984 Thank you, its annoying at this point. Alot of the outrage has to be coming from people who never played Odyssey or Valhalla. Your character can swing straight or gay, it was up to you. Thats what it sounds like they are saying in the article. So unless it comes out that those characters are specificly gay then people gotta chill. I played Odyssey as a male and partnered up with females, played as the female and choose to sleep up woman characters even though there were always male options trying to get with you. @hryshihoshshibu8984
I think Yasuke is an interesting character and bc he lived in Japan in makes total sense to me. Plus like someone else mentioned we have many other japan based games with japanese protagonists! Their race and sexuality is absolutely irrelevant to me if the game is actually good I dont think that should matter especially if you can literally just romance whoever you prefer? I look foward to playing it and exploring Japan and learning more about Yasuke.
I have played almost all assassin's creed and to be honest i have lost interest in this franchise. I bought mirage and i played it for about 3 hours and never touched it again. Also, i noticed that in the last few games they only make about 20 to 25 main mission and 200 side missions. That just dont make any sense to me.
Looking forward to this game sounds like they may have made some much needed changes to gameplay, and I don’t get the big up roar over the characters it’s a video game 🤷🏽♂️
Thats fair enough if the story fits in this could be the best gameplay assassins creed in a long time i just dont get the whole pre order when weve seen no gameplay... Ubisoft are like trust us bro lol
@@LoveGamingNewtro totally get the whole preorder thing especially with no gameplay shown these companies now day drop preorders right off the bat cause they know people will go ahead and buy it, the game doesn’t come out till November why preorder it now 🤷🏽♂️ especially when you can preorder the day before or 3 days before if you really like the game
@@LoveGamingNewtro Ever considered that because AC is such a long standing franchise, that even without gameplay people will pre-order because they have background at what could be the gameplay? It's AC. Plus ninja. They know it would have stealth because 'ninja', despite Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla having pitiable stealth. Also Mirage has reintroduced the stealth approach so it's more hopeful this time around.
Like u said it's a Game and specially a RPG game. What RPG means player choice. Then don't choose to be gay or lesbian simple. For Ubisoft, they should learn how to promote their game. pre order should be open after full gameplay revel.
What I got from this is that it sounded like it would be no choice, as opposed to the choice you got in Vahalla and Odyssey, they specifically said they you will experience a range of different romance options... What I got from that is that you won't have a choice unless I am wrong
Hey great video covering everything but I feel your frustration on the “lgbt-ness” of the game is unfounded. 1) “different types of people” has nothing to do with gender. There aren’t “two types of people” because there will be people who are mean, who are sweet, people who think one way or the other. People are so quick to jump on this “ooh woke ubisoft bad” train that they completely mix up their words. 2) even if it is referring to the two characters being gay (which I highly doubt) every open world assassins creed game has allowed you to romance both men and women regardless of the player characters gender. You can mess around with literally every npc in odyssey regardless of gender. Now I do agree that they should’ve made their own characters instead of using real historical characters. Even though I teach history and really do like the historical theme I think it is potentially dangerous to depict a real person as a fictional player character. And yes obviously the woman should’ve been Japanese lmfao
Thanks for the comment dude… What I gathered from the article was that we wouldn’t have a choice of romance options which would be very weird… As I didn’t mind at all in odyssey and Valhalla you have the option… It was quite funny to be honest in Odyssey the reaction when I would turned down a character and choose certain people… Hopefully they have that but it sounded like you wouldnt have the option. I see your point for side… and to clarify the woman is Japanese, but I thought it would have been great to have both Japanese characters… but we need to some gameplay! Thanks for your views and comment
They probably took the eagle because they couldn't think of any more names to call the birds if you think about it if they had two different types of birds for both the protagonist and they have to think of the name😂
Yeah I’m going to skip this game, which is a shame because I love the RPG Assasssins Creed games and feudal Japan has to be in my top 3 most wanted settings. But this injecting of modern day politics into the game and the highway robbery of their pricing model has pushed me away. I’d rather play Rise of the Ronin, Samurai Warriors, or Ghosts of Tsushima to get that samurai fix
Ubisoft game...... Need we say anymore 😂 They have made some incredible games. In recent years all games are becoming very similar or to much of the same, unfortunately these companies just want your money regardless of what people think of the game.
@@Jmangruem well, if it’s true that the main character is gay that’s just insane! I don’t have anything against people for who they are or what they believe in, but don’t make that my only option to play the game! Smh 🤦🏻♂️
@@Jmangruem just saw another video and it may be different than I thought. Maybe it’s like eivor in Valhalla where you could participate in something like that or you can kindly decline lol so I’m hoping it’s like that! I thought he was just flat out gay lol so hope it’s like eivor
,,Why so political ubisoft, it just game why,, 3 second later... ,,why her head is so round,, So i guess 16 cetury women must be super model back then😂
LOL your comment made me laugh.. I think with western companies it just came into my head for some reason like MJ spiderman horizon etc. No idea why it came to my head LOL
I just can't understand why are you complaining that shadows doesn't have a japanese protagonist when, Naoe is literally and visibly a JAPANESE Woman, are you all blind? Or maybe a woman can't be considered a protagonist? For me a male protagonist is more immersive but i really loved the charisma of kassandra and so if Naoe is well written i can't see what is the problem -_-
No I am not blind LOL... I loved Kassandra as well... With basically all the past games not sure why you wouldn't make them 2 Japanese characters, plus its the obvious check list that Ubisoft have ticked for the reason for choosing the character... Dont get me wrong if it is written well and this is all for the story... Took me out of the immersion for the trailer. Respect your opinion
@@LoveGamingNewtroyeah, they took advantage about yasuke being a black man in Japan, but i do not have problem with this because i think that he is the opposite to Naoe. He is a foreigner( a foreign sight about japanese colture) and his size is greater compared to japanese people (one more reason why he is so efficient in combat) i think it's a way to differentiate more the 2 protagonist. I hope they can be well written because is this that make the difference and not the gender (see kassandra) or the race. Anyway i respect your opinion as well.
I really love all of your videos and your opinions on the games you play. But what I don't get is you saying that you would have liked playing a Japanese character in this game which naoe is ....
What I liked about the other assassin creed games is that you get to choose between male and female... I meant a traditional male samurai... Would make sense but for sure it came across that we do not play as any japenese character. I get your point brother
Yeah and now I get yours to now that it's more clear. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be like Valhalla in the way some people are really gonna love this game and some will hate it. The thing that I love with yasuke is that you get to experience Japan as an outsider just like us we are and you still have your Japanese protagonist with the stealth back..... but like you say let's see some gameplay first 😅
@@GuillaumeDaigle-p1v that’s a very good point… now that I think about it what would of probably helped the doubters is released a proper gameplay / in game cut scene to get a feel for the game… I just hate it when they release just the cinematic… lets see for sure!
In the name of marketing, money-grabbing, neglected black AC audiences, lack of black AC protagonists since 2013, homosexuality and WOKE..... I present to you..... Yasuke! Your undoubted Samurai.
Good Video, as always, but I do have one comment. LGBT romance options have been in the AC games since Odyssey. I've appreciated this as a gay man because your main character in a game is an avatar for yourself in that world. Being free to have that game mechanic open to whom you would fancy brings players more into the game and adds a bit of cheeky fun. Ubisoft for being the greedy money pigs they are, I respect them for having a disclaimer saying they are a studio of people with different beliefs, nationalities, and sexualities. In gaming culture, gaymers are a minority, and stories that represent us are few and far between. AC games have made that romance option available to NPS of various genders, so it's up to the player how they want to approach it. I don't see AC Shadows deviating from this and pushing one sexual orientation over the other, I think they like to keep that up to the player. One thing you didn't mention that concerns me is the reports saying that the game needs an internet connection to work with the physical disc. This is a step towards not owning our games and hurting video game preservation.
Hey man! I really do not mind that option, but what I gathered from it and the article is that you will not have the option which is what I understood. If it is like Odyssey and Valahalla I am all for it because like you said it gets to appeal to many different people... I think its a bit confusing if you do not have the option... Unless I am wrong then it is no problem for me too. I missed that as well. I heard that you just need to a connection to download which I am understanding but can play offline... Ubisoft are always going to be pushing that but damn its sad for sure. Thanks for commenting!!
@@LoveGamingNewtro you can romance any NPC in dragons dogma so if you want to be a catman and romance the old fat shop keeper you can, plus this isn’t new for Ubisoft in Valhalla if you played as a male you had males trying to sleep with you and same as if you were a woman you could sleep with women
Definitely not buying even if it has god like gameplay. On a single-player game, immersion matttmers way too much if u r gonna make lgbt characters, at least make them hot. Yes! R they gay?? Make them hot. Are they trans? Make them hot. Are they scissors? Make them hot
I can't decide which is less accurate - a black samurai, or a female assassin in any period of Japan including present day. Everything about this game looks terrible.
I have never played an assassin creed game before. Because I don’t trust Ubisoft, their games are all similar and the greed man. BUT, I don’t know why, this is the first one that actually interests me. I hope it’s not a disappointment. I’ll wait for reviews
Eivor and Alexsios are the worst AC protagonists ever. Zero charisma. So badly writen it hurts my soul. Fuck they gonna be LGBTQ? Fuck gonna buy the game on a fat sale now. 😂😂

I can't wait to explore Japan honestly
Hello!! I'm watching since you were under 5k subs and enjoyed every video. Keep it up!!
Eivor!
The only game I never played was Assassin's Creed and Unity
I have never played assassins creed . Which one should I start with ??
Start with one and work your way up I’d say
Start with the 1st one so that you follow the story and additional gameplay mechanics being added.
You should play the Best og ac II and brotherood and probably revelation even if the story lack a bit for me among ezio trilogy
Play Assassin's Creed II first. Skip the first one, it's utter shite. I've finished every game in the series apart from the first one
What you smokin, son? The first AC is the series BEST everything, and its not even close 🤣
Blackflag best AC🙏🏽this looks good and favourite game being Ghost of Tshushima could be similar👀
Still need to play that one lil bro! Let’s wait and see
Loved AC Mirage but this, I'm not even trying this.
Probably will be the same 😂
When are you streaming next? Been loving the streams lately!
Great video, this guy's funny. Now onto the game. I like everyone else am happy to see that AC has finally come to feudal Japan. I agree with @LoveGamingNewtro the main character should be Japanese, but I do believe that Naoe is in fact native Japanese (Born in Iga, the birthplace of ninjutsu) so this is not really an issue. And I like that Yasuke is in this game, historically, he was in Japan during this time period. However, he was a samurai, not a shinobi, but I believe they made him a playable character for the fact that he is a foreigner, so as players we have a relatable character. The LGBTQ+ element really doesn't bother me, but I don't understand why it had to be made into a big deal, like Ubisoft is trying to prove a point, it's fine, none of us really care (when it comes to gaming!), we just want to play cool games, make the characters whatever you want, as long as it's relevant to the game and to the story.
I will buy this game, because I've been waiting for it since the very beginning. A game franchise about assassins, And Japan famously known for being the home of history's greatest assassins. Finally we are here ladies and gentlemen!
Gameplay and open world are definitely going to be good
Excellent video as always, and here is our 1st true disagreement...😢. Two part reply; 1st a would suggest a fantastic book by T Lockley called African Samurai. Lockley is a master historian. U will be engrossed with the story and impressed with the amount of work he does in his resources.
My two part disagreement; Many of the Samurai were rumored bisexual. 2ndly...who cares? There actually were other blacks in Japan in the 15, 16 hundreds, (not many), but how many 17 year old boys are bitten by spiders and fight crime?
If the story is believable and the game plays well - the ethnicity of the characters make no difference. I hated the disparaging remarks on Days Gone about the main character. Now there's an issue here. We actually have a lot of traditional Japanese games right now. We do agree on pre-order just because it's Ubisoft. But lm definitely interested in the game (mainly because the real yasuke was fascinating). I just hope they don't rush the story, I think it has a chance to do something interesting in the world of gaming.
That’s a great point Guy Lee! Really great to see a different point of view… like I said I think with the reputation with Ubisoft has hopefully they prioritise STORY over anything else…
I hope they haven’t done it to tick a box, now if the story is compelling enough and deep enough then it is a different story… so I guess let’s see…
When it’s out it would be great to see what you think! Let’s wait to see when we see some gameplay… also will check out that book!
I was playing Spider-Man 2 and I had to help a man ask another man out on a date or impress him some crazy shit. Why would they put that in the game? I'm not even gay. Anyways, I'm so sick of these call of duty's assassin Creed games come out with something different. Something fresh and new. I'm not buying it. I still got to finish Ghost of toshima.
bro icl i cant wait for this. New engine meaning they had to rebuild the parkour got me gassed stylll. I genuinely dont get why there bare controversy over Yasuke coz he was an actual person with a sick story that deserves to be told. Anyway loving the content broski keep it up g.
As i mentioned in another review. Yasuke was a real samurai. Better known as Yousuck
😂😂😂😂😂 you had me going man, good one
@@BoBurnham69 😆
This game looks fire. Who cares about who the character is? Why is it a problem whenever there is an afro Samari as the lead role. If you study history the earliest Asian people were dark skinned people.
Well I was looking forward to this........probly not going bother now tbh. I'm sick of having the world's agendas pushed down my throat. Great video as ever bro!
Re: "I'm sick of having the world's agendas pushed down my throat."
The annoying thing is, most of the world couldn't care less and doesn't give those pushing woke agendas the time of day. Therefore, they tend to operate in nice tolerant countries that allow them to live with the freedom to express themselves... no good deed goes unpunished.
🤣🤣 cope bruh. Cope. Somehow I doubt it's about the agenda.
They could just make a black samurai game instead of forcing dowm everyones throat. At least there is a japanese man lookin woman
I'll probs ask for it forChristmas. Not invested enough into it to spend £60
people of the World looking for this in the games, or looking for that the Game but Company's only looking for Money feed them well make them Happy.$1.00 DISC SALE $120.00 MOST TIMES.,,,,,,,Good advice wait till drop the price 50% why you must finish the game the first day out;;;;I just buy Witcher ps4 for $5.00 nothing wrong..
I’ll give it a go, but I’ll wait for the price to naturally drop… I pre-ordered mirage and spent a pretty penny… it’s now £20 in CEX 😂. I’m sure this release will follow the same pricing path so I’ll wait.
I really hope this is awesome.
Not gonna lie, i am really sad that it is gonna be for ps5 because i have ps4 and you know, these things are getting expensive these days
I love AC, but this one. Maybe after a sale and honest reviews come out
I play AC to be an Assassin and not to be a brute which is why I love the go back to formula that was Mirage and why I would play the square jaw girl who looks to have had a edit to make who look different or as I call it the ugly makeover devs feel the need to do to us women. I have never seen a Japanese woman with such a strong jaw. But, If I will play and only play when I get this on discount. I will choose her simply because that suits me more. Honestly, waiting all these years for AC Japan was such a disappointment.
I just think it’s crazy how you can complain about a game you have not played yet.
1. The series
2. Ubisoft
That's enough
Well it’s first of all the reputation of modern day gaming…
Then it’s the reputation of Ubisoft and then the price they are charging for a game we’ve seen no gameplay for…
If we saw what the product was like and the gameplay then my opinions may be different…
It’s like selling a car to someone and saying trust me it’s gonna be insane but ill show you it later 😂🙏
@@Salis121 but what genuinely bad games have ubisoft made? Assasins creed series is fantastic, the crew series is fantastic, Ghost recon series is fantastic, rainbow 6 is fantastic, Riders Republic is fantastic, Tom clancies series is fantastic. U may not like these games but the Sales speak for themselves, and AC Shadow will make all u doubters real Quiet
@@joebond545 There are many videos about how bad Ubisoft and how bad or boring there games are. I believe it is better you watch them
@@Salis121 Preach!
14:08 Weirdly, I really dig the female protagonist this time. For some reason the eyebrows on females is one of the things that highly impacts my attraction to them.
Nice bro! Just an instant observation for me… but I’m actually intrigued to see some gameplay to this!! Hope there is proper character development in these characters!
Gay or black people in games doesn’t trigger me at all and Assassins Creed games are easy fun. Ima buy it!
Wokeness already killed AC Valhalla, it's crazy how I never felt like a Viking in that game.
I will probably buy this😊
You let us know what you think!! 😃
There were black people in Greece btw
Massive AC fan but, I'm waiting until i find out more about the game first some gameplay would be nice 😅. I want it to be more about assassin's vs templars the last 2rpgs seemed to forget about them or not feature them enough
I have also been a life long fan of assassins creed. In fact i haven't played anything else in so long. I decided to start again from 1 and im currently over half way through Valhalla!! Was hoping to get caught up for the release of Valhalla and I was nowhere near 😅. Maybe I'll finish Valhalla and Mirage in time for the release of Shadows.... Probably not though 😢
Wow I salute you man for playing all of those games!! That’s crazy! I’ve missed a hell of a lot but one I need to play is black flag!
@@LoveGamingNewtro worst thing is I'd played all of them at release apart from Valhalla so most of them were at least a second play through this time round 😅
I did a run like a yr and a half ago didn't finish Valhalla tho that game is bloated
@@kennethburton4443 I've managed to get through most of it. I'm the type to go to an area and collect all the icons before going to the main missions
Me too I was well over 100 hrs. I had 2 regions to go I think. It's an ok game. One of my favorite series overall
I love Ubisoft! I can't wait for this. Just put a platinum on Valhalla. LETS FREAKING GO!
Mate good on you brother! Man such a big game how the hell did you platinum Valhalla!!
@@LoveGamingNewtro 166 hours. I loved every minute of it! Except chasing the paper tattoos... But everything else was money. Each thing completed was such a sweet hit of dopamine lol
What I don't like is the fact that we know why they put Yasuke in the game. They don't want to tell his story, this is a racist and sexist company which has abused employees. AC Japan has been requested for more than a decade now. The only reason why they picked Yasuke is because they typed in: "first black person in japan" and made a game about him. Ubisoft doesn't care about you as a consumer, it never has and never will.
The "historian" they used is basically a pdf file, I'm pretty sure she thinks age is a social construct.
So they pretty much hired an insane Japanese lady that no one in Japan can identify with.
Valhalla is great but sooooo long. Im 43 hours in and only just been introduced to King Alfred
Ubi's fault because they just had to make the entire England playable. So they were forced to create boring alliance stories in all areas. The game could be 15 hours shorter. The 45 hour mark sounds right, but not 60 hrs.
Bro i realy miss the old days of ubisoft😢the old ac games were great i remeber playing ac 1 on my ps3.those were the good old days😢btw ❤ ur content Bro do u like these new ac games?
I loved the older titles but I also loved odyssey and origins, I like Valhalla but it just dragged on a lot for me… I was drained by the end of it… mirage I liked cos it felt like the older titles but wasn’t special but again a beautiful game!
How many letters! 😂😂
This will be the 1st Assassin Creed's game I will not purchase..... like you said, every flipping game now.... ramming it down our throats.... 1st one NOT BUYING
Yeah now that Star Wars Outlaws is out now man again another average game. Defo have to wait for a sale
The viewpoint in sequencing I'm a little disappointed 😞
Tried playing one of the recent ubisoft assassins creed games. Forces you to create a login so they can strip you of your privacy, then proceed to tell you that "this game was created by people with dIfFeReNt sExUaL OrIeNtaTiOns aNd gEnDerS". Where it used to say something like "this game was created by people of different religious beliefs and ethnic backgrounds" or whatever. (I'm paraphrasing on what it used to say.) Nevertheless, absolutely disgusting and nothing short of atrocious. I'd rather use my eyeballs as pin cushions than to support or promote this kind of crap.
Ultimate edition for 29$
I will only buy this game from stores which sells pre-owned games at cheaper price 🗿
Great choice!
Im excited, all yall haters can suck it because I enjoy having fun not dwelling on stupid politics and this looks dope to me.
That’s good for you bro! Trust that’s what it’s all about! Different opinions. I’m looking forward to actually seeing some gameplay lol
@@LoveGamingNewtro ive been waiting for a AC game in japan for years and now we finally have one, and im not gonna be nitpicky with the race of the characters cause it doesnt really matter to me
I can’t take seriously LGBTRASH characters, so I wont buy it.
They aren't lgbtq characters. It's just like in Valhalla, player can choose their partner. People are just trying to spread more hate...
@@hryshihoshshibu8984if what you’re saying is true then imma consider buying it. But I’ve seen different sources stating that both characters are ghey.
@@worlds_greatest_detective6667 And did you see what sources they are relying on..?? The devs just stated that you can choose your partner. If you know the social media, you can clearly say that's more than enough for them to create a new controversy...
@@hryshihoshshibu8984 so you’re saying that I can have em straight too right? Well ty for this information, I definitely hate Woke Ubisoft but I was a huge fan of the older AC until Syndicate, never liked the newest trilogy and I was looking forward to Shadows. Idc if Yasuke is black if he’s well written but forcing LGBT is a must NO for me. Thank you for clarifying me the information and you’re right about the social media, they’re garbage’s that always want clout.
@hryshihoshshibu8984 Thank you, its annoying at this point. Alot of the outrage has to be coming from people who never played Odyssey or Valhalla. Your character can swing straight or gay, it was up to you. Thats what it sounds like they are saying in the article. So unless it comes out that those characters are specificly gay then people gotta chill. I played Odyssey as a male and partnered up with females, played as the female and choose to sleep up woman characters even though there were always male options trying to get with you. @hryshihoshshibu8984
Hello you Greek god💪💪😊
😂😃
I think Yasuke is an interesting character and bc he lived in Japan in makes total sense to me. Plus like someone else mentioned we have many other japan based games with japanese protagonists! Their race and sexuality is absolutely irrelevant to me if the game is actually good I dont think that should matter especially if you can literally just romance whoever you prefer? I look foward to playing it and exploring Japan and learning more about Yasuke.
I have played almost all assassin's creed and to be honest i have lost interest in this franchise. I bought mirage and i played it for about 3 hours and never touched it again.
Also, i noticed that in the last few games they only make about 20 to 25 main mission and 200 side missions. That just dont make any sense to me.
Want us to be addicted to the game! Hence why they keep prioritising the damn side missions 😭🤦♂️ I actually like mirage funny enough lol
Mirage was disappointing, story was lacking, characters were boring.
The action in mirage was so disappointing. How in hell does a character have only 3 moves for offense.
The people mad about one of the characters being black I’m happy big ups Ubi soft if u don’t like it don’t play it
That's fair enough brother!
Looking forward to this game sounds like they may have made some much needed changes to gameplay, and I don’t get the big up roar over the characters it’s a video game 🤷🏽♂️
Thats fair enough if the story fits in this could be the best gameplay assassins creed in a long time i just dont get the whole pre order when weve seen no gameplay... Ubisoft are like trust us bro lol
@@LoveGamingNewtro totally get the whole preorder thing especially with no gameplay shown these companies now day drop preorders right off the bat cause they know people will go ahead and buy it, the game doesn’t come out till November why preorder it now 🤷🏽♂️ especially when you can preorder the day before or 3 days before if you really like the game
@@LoveGamingNewtro Ever considered that because AC is such a long standing franchise, that even without gameplay people will pre-order because they have background at what could be the gameplay? It's AC. Plus ninja. They know it would have stealth because 'ninja', despite Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla having pitiable stealth. Also Mirage has reintroduced the stealth approach so it's more hopeful this time around.
Like u said it's a Game and specially a RPG game. What RPG means player choice. Then don't choose to be gay or lesbian simple. For Ubisoft, they should learn how to promote their game. pre order should be open after full gameplay revel.
What I got from this is that it sounded like it would be no choice, as opposed to the choice you got in Vahalla and Odyssey, they specifically said they you will experience a range of different romance options... What I got from that is that you won't have a choice unless I am wrong
Hey great video covering everything but I feel your frustration on the “lgbt-ness” of the game is unfounded. 1) “different types of people” has nothing to do with gender. There aren’t “two types of people” because there will be people who are mean, who are sweet, people who think one way or the other. People are so quick to jump on this “ooh woke ubisoft bad” train that they completely mix up their words. 2) even if it is referring to the two characters being gay (which I highly doubt) every open world assassins creed game has allowed you to romance both men and women regardless of the player characters gender. You can mess around with literally every npc in odyssey regardless of gender.
Now I do agree that they should’ve made their own characters instead of using real historical characters. Even though I teach history and really do like the historical theme I think it is potentially dangerous to depict a real person as a fictional player character. And yes obviously the woman should’ve been Japanese lmfao
Thanks for the comment dude… What I gathered from the article was that we wouldn’t have a choice of romance options which would be very weird… As I didn’t mind at all in odyssey and Valhalla you have the option…
It was quite funny to be honest in Odyssey the reaction when I would turned down a character and choose certain people… Hopefully they have that but it sounded like you wouldnt have the option.
I see your point for side… and to clarify the woman is Japanese, but I thought it would have been great to have both Japanese characters… but we need to some gameplay!
Thanks for your views and comment
They probably took the eagle because they couldn't think of any more names to call the birds if you think about it if they had two different types of birds for both the protagonist and they have to think of the name😂
Yeah I’m going to skip this game, which is a shame because I love the RPG Assasssins Creed games and feudal Japan has to be in my top 3 most wanted settings. But this injecting of modern day politics into the game and the highway robbery of their pricing model has pushed me away. I’d rather play Rise of the Ronin, Samurai Warriors, or Ghosts of Tsushima to get that samurai fix
Yeah, it’s crazy to know that Ubisoft had a trans character in assassin‘s Creed four black flag. It’s been going on for this long…
Didn’t even know that… there been slowly pushing
Hmm no? A guy played a girl, but not because of trans, because of So the people dont recognise him

@@Jmangruem well, if it’s true that the main character is gay that’s just insane! I don’t have anything against people for who they are or what they believe in, but don’t make that my only option to play the game! Smh 🤦🏻♂️

I could’ve sworn y’all wanted an open world AC game set in feudal Japan. Now y’all pissed off because you got what you wanted?
,,Why so political ubisoft, it just game why,,
3 second later...
,,why her head is so round,,
So i guess 16 cetury women must be super model back then😂

Sad it won't be good couse its ubisoft
I don’t see it she doesn’t look like a man to me and why would you take away her hair 😂😂😂
LOL it just came to my mind for some weird reason, good point though haha
I just can't understand why are you complaining that shadows doesn't have a japanese protagonist when, Naoe is literally and visibly a JAPANESE Woman, are you all blind? Or maybe a woman can't be considered a protagonist? For me a male protagonist is more immersive but i really loved the charisma of kassandra and so if Naoe is well written i can't see what is the problem -_-
No I am not blind LOL... I loved Kassandra as well... With basically all the past games not sure why you wouldn't make them 2 Japanese characters, plus its the obvious check list that Ubisoft have ticked for the reason for choosing the character... Dont get me wrong if it is written well and this is all for the story... Took me out of the immersion for the trailer. Respect your opinion
@@LoveGamingNewtroyeah, they took advantage about yasuke being a black man in Japan, but i do not have problem with this because i think that he is the opposite to Naoe. He is a foreigner( a foreign sight about japanese colture) and his size is greater compared to japanese people (one more reason why he is so efficient in combat) i think it's a way to differentiate more the 2 protagonist. I hope they can be well written because is this that make the difference and not the gender (see kassandra) or the race. Anyway i respect your opinion as well.
I really love all of your videos and your opinions on the games you play. But what I don't get is you saying that you would have liked playing a Japanese character in this game which naoe is ....
What I liked about the other assassin creed games is that you get to choose between male and female... I meant a traditional male samurai... Would make sense but for sure it came across that we do not play as any japenese character. I get your point brother
Yeah and now I get yours to now that it's more clear. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be like Valhalla in the way some people are really gonna love this game and some will hate it. The thing that I love with yasuke is that you get to experience Japan as an outsider just like us we are and you still have your Japanese protagonist with the stealth back..... but like you say let's see some gameplay first 😅
@@GuillaumeDaigle-p1v that’s a very good point… now that I think about it what would of probably helped the doubters is released a proper gameplay / in game cut scene to get a feel for the game… I just hate it when they release just the cinematic… lets see for sure!
i may buy this one day, when it is cheap AF! atm it looks like garbage
I just don’t get why they do the CGI trailer first would make sense to put people’s mind to rest and show what the game looks like
I mean…if it’s the same as every other Ubisoft game then it’s gonna suck.
There's only one thing you need to know. It's ubisoft, don't buy.
These comments 😂

I present to you..... Yasuke! Your undoubted Samurai.
Hello newtro
Hello!
Good Video, as always, but I do have one comment. LGBT romance options have been in the AC games since Odyssey. I've appreciated this as a gay man because your main character in a game is an avatar for yourself in that world. Being free to have that game mechanic open to whom you would fancy brings players more into the game and adds a bit of cheeky fun. Ubisoft for being the greedy money pigs they are, I respect them for having a disclaimer saying they are a studio of people with different beliefs, nationalities, and sexualities. In gaming culture, gaymers are a minority, and stories that represent us are few and far between. AC games have made that romance option available to NPS of various genders, so it's up to the player how they want to approach it. I don't see AC Shadows deviating from this and pushing one sexual orientation over the other, I think they like to keep that up to the player. One thing you didn't mention that concerns me is the reports saying that the game needs an internet connection to work with the physical disc. This is a step towards not owning our games and hurting video game preservation.
Hey man! I really do not mind that option, but what I gathered from it and the article is that you will not have the option which is what I understood. If it is like Odyssey and Valahalla I am all for it because like you said it gets to appeal to many different people... I think its a bit confusing if you do not have the option... Unless I am wrong then it is no problem for me too.
I missed that as well. I heard that you just need to a connection to download which I am understanding but can play offline... Ubisoft are always going to be pushing that but damn its sad for sure.
Thanks for commenting!!

Was there even any? i didn't come across any apart from one kiss with a side character, unless I missed that?
@@LoveGamingNewtro you can romance any NPC in dragons dogma so if you want to be a catman and romance the old fat shop keeper you can, plus this isn’t new for Ubisoft in Valhalla if you played as a male you had males trying to sleep with you and same as if you were a woman you could sleep with women
I am just here for the disappointment and drama.

He wasn’t just a retainer learn more
Definitely not buying even if it has god like gameplay. On a single-player game, immersion matttmers way too much if u r gonna make lgbt characters, at least make them hot. Yes! R they gay?? Make them hot. Are they trans? Make them hot. Are they scissors? Make them hot
I can't decide which is less accurate - a black samurai, or a female assassin in any period of Japan including present day. Everything about this game looks terrible.
I have never played an assassin creed game before. Because I don’t trust Ubisoft, their games are all similar and the greed man. BUT, I don’t know why, this is the first one that actually interests me. I hope it’s not a disappointment. I’ll wait for reviews
