I dont care what anyone says Yasuke is the best saumrai/assassin, he assassinated Ubisoft before the game is even out! 😭😭
All hail Captain BBC
Facts big skizzle 🔥
need a hiphop deep cut of this
강강
Yasuke was a real historical person. But in a game about Japanese history and culture, the main character should have been Japanese. Yasuke should have been a side character.
Ubisoft should get used to not owning any offices
They are about too
Well if russians would continue at the same pace. Kiev office would be shut down soon.
This meme just keeps aging like fine wine.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) you reap what you sow
Ubisoft should get used to not owning any softs
Ubisoft lost me as soon as they asked me to sign up for an account to play a single player offline game
Sony did the same BS with God of war Ragnarok.
Steam asks me for the same. So does Xbox
@@VioFax Difference is, that game was actually decent.
@JimmyTwoTimesJimmyTwoTimes Steam needs an account to purchase said single player games from their marketplace same with Xbox. Ubisoft just want an opportunity to advertise to me.
@@Adolph-Inlerand I won’t buy any game of system until I can buy a physical copy and play it without internet support
The crazy thing is that the characters look Chinese in the game instead of Japanese. So apparently Ubisoft didn’t actually hire japenese people to model faces off but instead just hired any Asians
As an American who was stationed in Japan, I can tell the difference EASILY between Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese people. It’s embarrassing they can’t get this right.
They probably just purchased a premade facial library
The fact that Ubisoft made the English editors on Wikipedia actually believe that Yasuke was a samurai is genuinely an issue
Yeah, someone needs to get on Da Vinci’s wiki and credit most of his research and inventions being tested by Ezio
Yu Hirayama is a Japanese historian who is claiming Yasuke was a Samurai
@@randomhuman2595Then he is an idiot or liar.
Samurai is a job title, not a lifestyle. You can't join it just cause you carry a sword. You must be selected. He was never selected. We would know if he had been.
@@randomhuman2595 Yasuke was in Japan for 3 years.
How did he have the time to train for 15 years to become a samurai exactly?

Shit like this needs to happen. It’s important. When companies start going off the rails with their generic gameplay, predatory business practices, terrible marketing decisions, bad budgeting, toxic DEI practices… companies go under, and it’s a good thing, teaching companies to do things properly.
Isn't it the Governments that are encouraging companies to do this to their games?
@@TyceeFaler Not all governments. If you refering the federal governments in US. Not all goverments, if you refering different states of Europa and Balkan. But some are, surely does. But usually it is about funding the *production of product value*, you can rarely see that they actually give a load about those american ideas.
@@TyceeFalerGeorge Soros is the person responsible for forcing companies to follow DEI
@@TyceeFaler It's the 3 largest shareholders in the world - Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street. These 3 corps have their fingers in absolutely everything and DEI is their agenda. Divide and Conquer is their goal with this DEI and woke in general
Hahaha you said DEI in 2025 😂😂 loser
Sucker Punch didn't use actual names of real life Japanese historical figures in the development of Ghost of Tsushima as their Japanese consultants said that would be highly disrespectful to do so. For Ubisoft to come out and say they used Japanese consultants in the development of this game goes to show me that they actually did not seek advice from anyone from Japan... tsk tsk smh!
Are you implying that using real life people and Politics in any serious way to send a message is extremely bad PR and shouldn't be done???
BLASPHEMOUS!!! How are Bud Light, Diet Coke and Ubisoft supposed to make their millions if they can't pander, bootlick, and take a dump on history?!??
Typical DEI hires that think they know better than everyone, including Japanese experts on Japanese culture. Ubisoft and the bullring crowd deserves to go out of business at this point, they never listen and never learn.
Any link for that? Would be nice for my e-arguements.
Assassin's creed always used historical figures in their games. It's almost a tradition of the franchise.
Its amazing how fast ubisoft went from a company I enjoyed and looked forward to to a company I detest.
Wild how good it feels after all their attacks on gamers and horrible practices to see this thorn removed
When did it start for you? To me it happened somewhere between 2010 and 2015
It's been nearly 2 decades. Around the time that "tom clancy" started being labeled on anything that had a firearm no matter how fantastical it was
It starts when you invite idiots into your life or company, then you start listening to them...never do that - then you promote them and give them more responsibility and more power - never do that. Now, you got idiots in charge - that you cannot get rid of, you have essentially created your own demise...so, you deserve your own downfall, you hired people with your penis, a woman came in there with tits and ass so your naturual response as a horny simp was SHE looks like she is the best suited to become our new manager. Add useless DEI dead-weight to the mix that cannot do s**t.

Well they took a historical figure who all historical evidence shows was a servant and made him a samurai. Then when their own customers rejected it.. instead of admitting they did the wrong thing, they blame the customers. No reason why it's bad for them.
Remember when companies used to apologize to customers at the first sign of a fuck up? I almost don’t 😂

Samurai in Japan never just walked around with weapons killing people. Samurai werent even allowed to unsheathe their swords in public or they'd get their head cut off.
@@TekaDCII in Oda Nobunaga's biography, it's known that he was brought a slave from a Portuguese and remained a servant of Oda, the highest title in referenced to him was sword bearer which just means he carried the equipment and luggage of his master, here Oda, after Oda's defeat he was returned to his Portuguese masters and it's known that he wasn't killed in combat because Japanese and Portuguese on either side didn't consider him human either, they thought of him as a tropical pet, real sad but that's what saved his life
@@RAWBOT301 most people think of Japanese history as static, but during the Sengoku period, samurai did go around freely killing people lol, it's just try didn't kill civilians but it was feudal lords doing large raids on neighbouring lords because there was no central leadership until Oda nobunaga defeated them all and became emperor
Immersed themselves in Japanese culture = Watched 7 episodes of one piece
This is a company that once made Far Cry 3, Watch Dogs and Black Flag. How the mighty have fallen.

The irony, the location Who fans ask for YEARS, Ubisoft making this game disrespectful for all the gamer and Japanese. And now is their grave.
Ubisoft seems to have this uncanny ability to listen to their fanbase while also being COMPLETELY tone deaf about it and AC: Shadows is the epitome of that.
“Sure! We’ll finally make that AC Samurai/Ninja game that everyone has been requesting since AC 2 but we’re going to do it in the most asinine way imaginable.”
They did it with Skull & Bones and now they’re doing it with AC: Shadow. Skulls & Bone actually pisses me off more considering they LITERALLY have the goddamn blueprints from Black Flag but nOoOoOo, they just HAD to make it into a live service; a trend that was already on its way out BEFORE THE GAME EVEN LAUNCHED!!!!

If you’re claiming historical accuracy, especially in the Japanese culture and history you better get the details right.
Only slave trade Japan was part of, was to sell Koreans captured during their (failed) invasion of Korea. After that it was isolationism for 250 years until the Yankees showed up with Gunboats.
The games have never been historically accurate and they have never claimed for any of the games to be historically accurate. You're talking about games where George Washington was an evil tyrant and the pope tries using a magic Golden Apple to take over the f****** world
They could just say it's all fictional but instead they doubled down and said all of it is based on real life history 😬😬😬
The irony was that Ghost of Tsushima got the Japanese game ambassador award, even though its developers said it was a FANTASY and not historically accurate!
its funny they play this both ways

_Belly acculate plesentation of Nihon histoly._
I would LOOOOOVE the novel irony of Ubisoft ending on AC:Shadows because an AC Japan is something we AC fans have been asking for since we were kids (we're now at our 20-30s) and they're fully aware how highly demanded that is. But they've been edging us for so long that they probably think they can just release it when they become desperate for money to survive and buy themselves a second chance. Nope. Please let this game fail as a lesson for Game companies who forgot that video games are a piece of art and trying to treat it otherwise will lead to worse financial outcome.
I was a real AC fan started with 2, from that i bought all the games day one. I felt the copy-paste yes, but "It was AC man!" after Origins Ubi made me hate them and newer "AC" it became something so different, now AC only a title. So I didnt buy nor play. Other fans said it's stupid, "if im a fan, just play it" .. But im a true fan, i want better for the IP i like, so the best i can do is not give them money.
After Desmond died it became a cash grab. They did something good in the Syndicate but it was just one pearl in a truck full of shit
Spoiler! But dont really care.. yet yeah japan AC was the thing i wanted when i played the first game... and yes im now 34 and i get.... whatever this shit this is
Also yeah the last AC i played was black flag i think... got origins and so on ultra cheap but csnt bring myself to play them seeing where it leads to
Honestly I hurts that we got a much better concept of a Japanese AC from Ghost of Tsushima than the OG (I love Ghost, just disappointed by Ubisoft)
The day I watched "Ninja Assassin" was the day I wanted an AC Japan with the same set up as that movie but being set in feudal Japan. Idk how you mess up a ninja game as bad as this.

@@317ernestomarcos2 Asmons video from last night about DEI
Three IPs that were set up to be a sure bet: Star Wars IP, Avatar IP, and Pirates. And they managed to fumble each one and failed.
Imagine spending 11 years just to make an existing game bad. (AC: Black Flag to Skull and Bones)
the avatar game is far cry with even less guns and features
Right, that just shows how bad their leadership was. Of course I understand 2 of those with SW and Avatar being associated with Disney and people boycotting Disney in any way possible because of the woke campaign they back down from but the Pirates one was their clean slate to do something good. Now look at them? 2025 they will file for bankrupty.
They already had proven good IPs for action/adventure/RPG/tactical shooter games: Prince of Persia, AC, Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon. All they had to do was make good games out of those. With rare exceptions, they've been failing for more than a decade.
There is 1 solid proof that Yasuke wasnt a samurai nor a "legendary warrior". And its very simple one. Nobody wrote about him. There are tons of history written about samuraia and öegendary warriors. If he was one, they would have written about his deeds like Americans wrote about Billy the Kid or Jesse James. Only written deed of him was that people tried to wash his skin color off since they thought he had covered himself with ink.
That's not "solid proof". There were 1 million samurai at the time of AC Shadows. Not all samurai were written about just like not all cowboys were written about.
@alwaysdisputin9930 it is since Ubisoft says it's historically accurate and in their description for the game they call him a "legendary Warrior" or "legendary Samurai".
If he's so legendary why did they have to change wiki pages to make him so?
So where's the solid proof he was a samurai dummy?@@alwaysdisputin9930
@@alwaysdisputin9930 poor defence. A black samurai in that time is something to write about. And yet they didn't. Gets the noggin joggin

I feel like this is a good time to point out how both the Dev of Manor Lords and the Devs of Kingdom Come refuse to call their games "historically accurate" they say they did lots of research to get very close but it is impossible to make a game that is both fun to play and historically accurate.

What's funny is Ubisoft didn't need to go this route with playing hip hop shamezin music for their new black samurai character. They could just stuck with Desmond's resurrection plot since he is literally the most diverse character we've played in the whole series (Bayek from Egypt, Ezio from Italy, Altaïr from the Middle East, Connor from Tribal America, and so on). This was deliberate self sabotage on Ubisoft's behalf.
Desmond wasn't related to Bayek. We only got to experience his memories since Layla found his mummified remains, so there was enough DNA to insert into the Animus. I don't think Bayek even had any more children.
imagine if they played there own games and knew how pissed my brother and I were when they killed desmond off in ac3 "welp Tyler remember how I told you the magic that a main character can bring it only works as long as they aren't dead oooh this is gonna be a bad idea years down the line I can tell"
@@ToonamiRisingSunkilling Desmond would've been a good idea if the subsequent games would've accurately revolved around the implications of his sacrifice. Instead they tried to retcon his actions by shoehorning in useless and overblown plots.

I think we (people in "our side" of the argument) very often delude ourselves into believing this controversy and the reason we reject this game is different to what's actually the reason. We like to think that we are upsed at "historical innacuracies" or graphics or combat or bamboo slicing or whatever. But what we are truly upsed is that we are forced to play a black guy and a woman in a samurai game. The truth is, we just want to play as a japanese man in our samurai game, and there's nothing wrong about it. The other side convinced us that our position is racist, so we try to justify our rejection of the game from other "non racist" angles. But the truth is, there is nothing wrong to want a product to be a certain way. We are simply done with this forced DEI policies and every game being a political statement or a way for a bunch of inmature developers to lecture us on morality and politics. They don't get to dictate what games we should or shouldn't play. We are the ones who get to tell them what games they should make. Because we are the majority and their customers, we are the ones with the money, we are the ones paying their salaries so WE get to tell them how we want OUR games. Our reasoning and our wants cannot be moraly judged by anyone. We just want what we want, and it's a developers job to deliver what their customers want. Ignoring what we tell them to do and doing the complete oposite is, in itself, enough justification for us to be mad and boicoting their game. We don't need to justify our position. We are their boss, we just tell them what to do and they have to obey, whether they like it or not. Always remember: We are the customers and the customer is always right.

Your favorite little trash company is dying and there is literally nothing you can do about it.
For me, the biggest indicator of Ubisoft plummeting off a cliff is the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake. This game was originally announced in mid-to-late 2020 (early September if I remember correctly), preorders went up soon after it was announced, and it was supposedly going to come out on January 21 of 2021. It got delayed to March 18 for extra polish. Then it got indefinitely delayed. It took a very long time to hear about any new release date, all we knew was that it was still coming. Then last year we finally got a new release window. It's coming out sometime in 2026. Keep in mind, this game is a remake that was originally months away from release 4 years ago and now it has had a cumulative delay of at least 5 years, which is long enough to make a new AAA game from scratch. I don't know how they can possibly justify delaying it this long.

@@ZeroBeat1 isn't the studio that was supposed to make that game one of the studio (I mean, branch of ubisoft) that got shut down a few month ago ? After all this time of delaying it I think the project is dead for real now.
That guy trying to talk up ACS by showing its last gen bamboo physics is basically the Harry Sisson of gaming. Wonder what/how much Ubisoft paid him.
You know what's really sad? Some of them aren't even being paid and are just being industry shills for the sake of potential kickbacks in return for loyalty. The whole industry operates on a system of nepotism, there was that game designer who got his job purely because he was a games journalist and they knew him, many such cases everyone is finding out about now.
More like ps3 era. Bamboo clips through itself and Jorge Floid, the cuts are all preprogrammed breaks, not cuts where the sword passes, and they all start disappearing a couple of seconds after being cut. It's a bad joke, especially with the budget. Just goes to show the duhvershidee squad sucks at everything.
Yet Bushido Blade did this on the PS1 in 1997.
@@lethn2929 Yup. There's a lot of those people in most communities inside and outside of gaming. They are usually the reason why there is so much fighting going on between the fans themself.
We should also take into account actual bot comments that have been used to prop up games and movies lately, they tend to act the same way as these shills and I wouldn't be surprised if they were made to mimic them with all the emojis and anti-argument replies.
So glad I can enjoy Ghosts of Tsushima ... 1000% better than this upcoming pile of crap from a soon to be defunct studio ...
At least they are right. We are use to not owning any of their games..
Black Flag is definitely the best.
They supposedly have a remaster/remake of it slated for after shadows drops, they knew this was coming haha
That game was actually amazing, can they just rehire that team for one more game or something 😢
@@zdono It wasn't amazing. It was good. We just didn't have any decent pirate type games at that time (still don't) outside of a couple like Sid Meier's Pirates!
The first 4 AC games along with Brotherhood and Revelations were all good. It's only after Rogue or Unity when the games became really bad.
@HazyDayz123 that's not always true. Nostalgia is more powerful than modern gameplay. If you told me I can play GTA6 or Vice City again I'd rather play Vice City
They pay millions to "professional" consultants and make mistakes most Japanese citizens can identify quickly.
And they still spending money to erase the existence of the Japanese who point out their mistakes.
'Professionals' with blue hair, a major in gender studies, a dress and an adams apple 😂
These consultants are definitely fraudin😢
@@carboy101Their only expertise is in wokeness and since companies cannot disagree with wokeness due to HR putting pink slips to their heads. Even when it's not right, they cant call it out inside the company due to who said they should do this. And upoer management is usually blind to the full extent until they have to put actual wight on the game being good then see the rot has caused the pillar to cave in on itself.
Thousands of samurai throughout Japan's history, but no, I chose an obscure and uncertain character just because he's black...
Imagine spending 3k dollars into a Japanese culture specialist to avoid historical mistakes. Imagine spending 50k for having him or her working with you 12 monthes. Imagine encouraging Japanese to tell what is not right with the game then rectify it.
Im sure they did it, but they hired following the DEI agenda and not for talent.
@mifunebrevar That is an even worse scenario because it means that they used to have a way of developping games that prevents historically mistakes but willingly decided that it is no more necessary. I am not an historian but my sister offered me for Christmas a book about Assassin's Creed through history so if the book exists I am 100% sure the AC serie was once appreciated by historians.
50k to hire frauds who torpedoed their careers when all this became public
Should have hired Dr Stephen Turnbull. He was the consultant on shogun total war has written many books on Japan and samurai and did the netflix show on the samurai. He was also my lecturer at leeds university
@@johnnycanadiana1897_Tell us a story about the samurai, professor._
Not jealous at all.
Black flag has sea shanties every time you get on the ship
Even er-ly in the moooonirng?
Ubisoft’s biggest mistake with this game was going against the Japanese gamers about authenticity because that hole seems to get deeper the more Ubisoft double downs on their stance.
DEI has never accurately represented the actual diversity of the world.
Ubisoft should get used to not owning a business anymore.
If AC: Shadows is "just a game", then Mein Kampf is 'just a book'.
damn i'm gonna copy that quote
Brother i dont think a woke videogame is comparable to the writings of the dude that caused the holocaust

It serves you right

An Ally from somewhere in the world
Ubisoft's integrity is gone. I can't believe they're public and leadership still isn't being sent out an airlock.
I really love to see Bungie, Activision, EA and some other shitty devs and publishers in this situation as well.
Microsoft, Google and Apple would be the best ones to see humbled
@VicePresidentKamala Very true.
@@VicePresidentKamala nah no matter how shitty Iphone has become people gonna buy it any way
Theyre next.
We gotta bankrupt them too.
@@VicePresidentKamalaNo thanks. I like microsofts products. There isn’t another company that even comes close right now. And if one does, I would have to just hope that decades of programs will work on that new OS.
0:10 "It's DJ Khalid"😂
More like "DJ squalid"
Tbh this line and ubisoft doing this matches perfect both were good at some point now all we see is shit 😂
2:30 the expert they consulted was one of the DEI devs had a 6 hr layover at Haneda and totally got what Japan was about within those long 6 hrs
Who gives a shit Afro Samurai is badass, and AC hasn’t been accurate since after 1 and 1 was like this isn’t what happened but we are fucking around. The guy was real he was a samurai but no he wasn’t a warrior he was just some dude the shogun fucked with and granted nobility because that’s what a samurai is a knight for lack of a better word. If the game is good it’s good, if it’s bad it won’t be because “OMG he wasn’t a real samurai”
@@anthonynavarre6574you do realize that afro samurai is a japanese born child that wanted vengeance upon ppl who kill his father right? The difference is why they pick a FOREIGNER slave instead of JAPAN-BORN to save your own country. I can ensure you the skin isnt problem as long as the character is BORN on JAPAN but asking a slave foreigner to save your own country is dick move
@@anthonynavarre6574 illegals have no dog in this fight. Stay in ur lane
@@anthonynavarre6574Lmfao dude was never a samurai. He was a page. Keep buying into the propaganda.
@@kyleberry4754 no he wasn’t a bushido following samurai, but he was given a house, he had servants, he was raised above the lower class, granted warrior rights he could carry a sword, and an estate, what would you call that?
The fact that they're marketing Yasuke as a real samurai is a bastardisation of history.
Honestly, I think the material resistance and weight of the bamboo are the least important things to fix with AC Shadows.
It’s an incredibly important detail to get right when you are playing a game about cutting things with a katana. All these little mis-steps add up to one large flop. Think of a great game, it is filled with small details that all help to add up to an amazing experience. The little things do matter.
@@Kamawan0 Sure, but overall it's still at the bottom of the list.
I enjoyed Assassin's Creed for many years, but i will not be buying or playing shadows at all. Ubisoft went too far with their dei agenda this time. Nobody wanted yasuke in this damn game at all!
But the biggest shock would come when one of the Assin"s Creed main development studio will shut down,
and now there's rumor about it for Quebec studio, the one responsible for Shadows.
that will be pure joy. not a shock.
Hearing Ubisoft is having a bad time always brightens up my day.
Genuinely
I bet they're regretting not choosing Hattori Hanzo.
Assassin's Creed has a history of giving every location in games a protagonist of that culture and nationality. Why on earth would you as a business, put in someone of a different heritage and nationality? Why not put in a real samurai from the era? Japan had so many.
To be fair, if it was a culture with a lot of diversity back in the time it's taken from then it wouldn't be an issue to chose a person that doesn't have the same heritage than the original race for that place. But they literally chose a country and a time where their would be at most a literal handful of people from that race. You couldn't be further from the the average person from that time in this area if you tried.
@Ruchunteur Japanese people don't like it, historians don't like it. It's literally as if you take Russia in the 1800s and put in a Mexican as the protagonist. It's just a really odd and divisive thing to do. Everyone knows that Japan takes it's culture and history very seriously and respect their heritage. And even here in the Philippines we know that the activists working in game industry don't like white or Asian people. I'm personally assuming they stuck in a black man in this game and timeframe on purpose to send a message and trying to rewrite history of Japan.
@@SurgLuke I know, I agreed with you. I was just pointing out that it's not using a person from a different heritage that was the issue but to take a person that isn't representative of the time. If there was a assassin's creed where the protagonist was sent back to 2025 in the USA, I wouldn't be shocked if they use someone that is not white as there has been a prominent diversity of race in the USA for quite a long time. But using someone like Yusuke that isn't representative at all for that time was stupide.
@Ruchunteur I also agreed with you. I'm just honestly shocked at the poor business decisions your country has made for some time now. It's as if your country got hijacked to be honest.
Ooooooooooooor ditch the Samurai protag and focus on Assassins in an Assassin’s Creed game.
They wanted so badly to have an African lead in an Assassins Creed game that they overstepped into Japanese territory.
Had they just waited to make an Assassins Creed set in Africa, maybe even postponed Hexe to green light an Africa setting, nobody would have cared. People wouldn’t have been laid off, the company wouldn’t be in shambles, and we would have gotten another big expensive boring glitchy season pass rpg AC game that wouldn’t have completely failed like Shadows is now.
Literally all they had to do was wait. But we wuz kangs. We wuz samurai. We wuz everything.
It makes me sick when I hear Western studios make JP chars in games set in Japan speak English with a limp JP accent. Arent they speaking their own language in their own land?
I hate dubs. Just fucking read the subtitles
I dont want to play a game where the setting is integral to the story and then have it disjointed by accented English
Imagine if every character in Tekken spoke English, how weird and disrespectful that’d be
Watching that comparison clip at the end it's absolutely maddening how Ubisoft has dropped the ball and consistently gotten worse
Can't spell DIE without DEI
The even bigger issue is the gameplay looks like trash. Ubisoft STILL hasn’t realized that the last 4 games with enemies having levels, healthbars, damage number scaling and very few takedown animations is what tanked the franchise
1:20 to be fair, skyward sword had nice bamboo slicing in their game in 2011 and I was impressed, but it wasn't why I bought the game
Been that way since Windwaker
@JutinSux I have to disagree with you there, skyward sword had a minigame that was more in depth than the bamboo cutting in wind waker (truth be told I don't remember any bamboo cutting in WW).
But feel free to prove me wrong, it helps me become more knowledgeable
I feel like a part of the Iceberg that just took down the Titanic
Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
I had nothing to do with Titanic!
@@Isberg77 I painted you like one of my French girls
Ubisoft staffs be like : "Gentlemen, it has been a privilege working with you."
8:37 they do this because they dont want to admit they wasted money and they want to convince themselves and others it was worth it
thats why i always wait a year or so (except in the case of Elden Ring) for a decent sale. i only make like $22 an hour and time flies when your boss gives you 20 hours OT every week😂
The first parts always denial
The Japanese being mad about a game inaccurately depicting their involvement in slavery is actually crazy. The Japanese were some of the most brutal people in history.
Ubisoft is getting used to not owning a company. Gamers are still used to owning games. Funny how that worked out.
Whoever's idea it was to put a giant dude in samurai armor as a main character for an assassin creed game is the opposite of genius smh
Reminds me of oblivions brotherhood. There was a Assassin who was a Ork with a huge Battle axe. Pretty much just as a joke though, whenever you asked him how to approach a mission he was like
"Draw your axe, do a battle cry and charge towards them"
It's such an odd choice. If you think about it, they could STILL have gone with Yasuke as the protagonist. Just make him a ninja disguised as a retainer so no one pays attention to him and he can be, ya know, an *assassin* ? And FFS, lose the bling and rap music.
10:05 You mean wear things Jesus wouldn't be seen dead in? That ain't MY Christianity.
Jesus likes jokes though
Protestants and their christianity changes every generation, also it isn't yours you are a servant too your faith not its master.
The regalia of the Catholic and Orthodox churches are a physical representation of their connections to history, the fact you associate it with prestige and power is a compliment to the longevity of these organisations rather than the rootless forever evolving Protestant churches that long ago abandoned Christian morality for baseless feel good nonsense that Atheists will approve of.
In the end the traditions of the church fathers IS the faith, Protestants are just various stages of apostates and nothing more.
Well the god in your Christianity also ordered all the men, women, children, and dogs to be murdered in the city of Jericho. And uh, I don't worship mass murderers. Keep it to yourself.
lol when Asmongold said: ‘never seen a game evolved backwards’ had me laughing
So they will fail with the game that has easiest assassin's creed concept. Because Japan ninja setting is the most desired game of the franchise, and somehow they managed to completely screw it up
I am surprised they didn’t just go full ninja. The samurai feels out of place in a game about assassins. There is so much history behind ninjitsu, should have been a no-brainer, and they could have avoided the nonsense with yasuke.
@@Kamawan0 Yep. "Retainer Yasuke is a secret ninja" is such an obvious solution to all these problems it's painful. You still get your precious representation, it stays relatively historically accurate, you don't piss off a whole nation and it fits with your game style. Win-win-win.
The bamboo slicing shit is annoying as hell, Bushido blade was doing that on the PS1
Your comment makes zero sense. 3D games have also been done since the PS1, should we be annoyed about that, too? lmao
@Kamawan0 let me clarify, bragging about the bamboo cutting is annoying as hell
The Wall breaks look even worse.
@@cheater21211 That makes more sense!
Well sayonara ubisoft 🎉
*Ubitrash
And now the CEO is calling the "rest" of the industry and gaming community to condemn the hate against their game.
This guy is flat out insane isn't he?
The outfit clipping in 2025 is embarrassing.
Outfit clipping is ONLY embarrassing if you are a AAA game studio. (Or in Ubisofts case AAAA.)
If you a budget studio, or an indie dev, outfit clipping is fine. Would rather it not be their, but it's not a big deal when you dont have the money to focus on smaller issues like that.
@RaifSeverence Yes, I agree!
The only thing that will save Ubisoft is if each fan boy buys hundreds if not thousands of copies of this game. This game would have to sell like GTA 5 or Mine Craft, and no Ubisoft game ever came close to that...
They should call their game Ubisoft: Shadows at this point
We have the opportunity to make Yasuke's legend real
That he casually killed a whole corporation centuries after his death
Most delayed-effect anime slash ever
oh, if only we could go back in time to tell the real Yasuke what he would accomplish centuries later XD, lol
the expression of the characters also evolves backwards
The biggest fail was skull and bones, like seriously how can you even do that wrong, it was basically taking assassin's Creed black flag and scaling it to be more pirate centered and adding more content, it would have crushed if they just did that with a new engine.
Singaporean Government was too out of touch how game development works tbh
They spend $800 millions on that game and the reason they had to use Unreal 5 because they fired all competent people that knew how to use old engine and there was no one who could teach new people how to use it
3:05 She is Ellen Baker, a character in Tokyo Shoseki's English textbook for junior high school students, New Horizons (2016 edition).
Taking Thomas Lockleys' word as historical fact instead of hiring actual Japanese historians is INSANE. Another AAAA game down the shitter Ubisoft enjoy.
Damn you Thomas Lockey look what you’ve done! 😂☠️
