The majority of gamers are male with 'toxic masculinity' so why drop a game with a weak scruffy looking unattractive female lead and dumbed down storyline? Are these people all there? Get a grip or go out of business, woke don't sell.
It's society. Just look at many on the left. Hell, people voted for "the lesser of 2 evils", yet, are surprised that everything is turning to crap (by design). You vote for evil, you will only bring about evil.
Kinda like when these very type of people blamed the ineffectiveness of an experimental "medicine" on those who REFUSED to take it... Logic at it's finest.
Blame me all you want Ubisoft, still not buying. In fact, it makes me want to buy anything from you even less. So keep it up. I'll vote with my wallet. Thank you.
That I think is the funniest part of all this because they act like we are forced to buy their product when even if you’re a picky gamer, you’ll never have enough time or money to play all the games that you want to play so like we have other stuff to play, my backlog is filled for years still lol
Ubisoft is a company with such a good reputation at recreating historical settings that we criticize them for the smallest details now. In 10 years we will remember this and value their games so much. Because these days most gaming companies put 10% of the effort that Ubisoft puts in... Hard work doesn't pay off, people will always criticise it for being not realistic/historical enough
@parabalani you wasted your time writing all that down😂😂 they race swapped a character, that tends to irritate the Japanese ppl and their culture. This game is DOA trash. ALM
@@parabalani I was huge fan of ubisoft back in the days and would buy any game they release. I would always remember those time. But just because they were good 10 years ago doesnt mean they can get away being sloppy continuously. Ubisoft failure is not only about the their way of recreating historical settings. I mean just compare ac black flag and skull & bones. The game that take a decade to make, hundred of million dollars and the pirate cant even swim. Still trash. Sucker punch is a much smaller company and has much smaller budget but look at how they nailed Ghost of Tsushima. Come one now ubisoft.
Ubisoft hasn't made something that's comparable to Far Cry 3/Assassin's Creed 3 (which still has the only thing that comes close to a decent economy in all their portfolio) in 10 years! Like a stagnant pool, they get more fetid as time passes by.
Expecting that from your DEI hires, pure cringe. Ubisoft doomed itself when Yves decided he wanted the corporation to become a Blackrock acolyte...to the hiring cringe of DEI and the associated ESG score.
@PoopooYu2b IGN, what IGN have right now in terms of credibility other than wipe some dev ass over political stuff, and only at times decide to backstab the dev when all dumpster fire broke out? IGN is no longer a news outlet, its a propaganda outlet
Oh yes the division was like in the trailer and also rainbow six absolutely they didn't lie to us! Absolutely I am not angry with them closing my favorite and unique MMO cars experience like The Crew yeah!.. yeah ..
Then they delay the game that has an inaccurate/fake historic black Samurai, to release it in Black History month. Who the heck thought that was a good idea? Now I'm not black... but if asians had a history month, first of all I would hate the entire, self aggrandising concept. But if there was... I would be pretty mad about fake history being peddled, purely for pandering sake.
I mean a lot of Japanese are rightfully angered too, I don't blame them, if there's a game about Africa and the MC was Asian then I'd be angry too. I really hope Ubisoft gets what they deserve and flop.
The sad thing is that having been a kid when Shadows of the Empire came out, and playing Knights of the Old Republic in my late teens makes me think that a RDR-style star wars game could have been really freaking cool. The problem is that it's highly unlikely that we'll get a company willing to put the time and love and creativity (and lack of social or political bias) into it that such a game would need to be good. Unless it's a non-disney-star-wars fan project (which I'm sure disney would either try to sue or at least shut it down just as fast as Nintendo) it'll be disappointing at best and yet more garbage at worst.

Afro samurai is purely fictional. Yasuke is someone made up and passed it off as real. So there's the difference. Honestly I hope by 2025 the entire company flops and just completely scrap the game. Cause I think it's beyond repair. Even if they change characters the damage is already done. Everyone will remember what they did.
Yasuke was real, but not a samurai. A servant with a stipend cause Nobunaga didn't see a tall black dude before. He was a retainer for apparently 2 years and then went back to Africa. He amounts to the following : Nobunaga had a personal basketball player before basketball was invented. End of story.
They're waiting for Black history month for extra victim points when it fails, which is fascinating to do for what is supposed to be a JAPANESE game. I’m sure delaying this racist DEI trash that has glitches in the TRAILER will save Ubisoft! Perhaps they should feel comfortable losing money.

We don't get paid to fight back, they do. No matter what, they get paid. They are at no risk to get sued.

I’m a gamer. They can blame me all they want. They can even call me bad names. Won’t save their company, but they can say anything about they want. The most interesting thing about all of this is that they can make good games anytime they choose, they just choose not to.
It really is 100% the fault of Disney and Kathleen Kennedy. SW Theory put out an interview with a guy who wrote a script for the Obi Wan series, and what he described was great and would have been perfectly in sync with George Lucas’s Star Wars. They fired him and brought in gays, women, and minorities to rewrite the whole thing with a mind for left wing propaganda and the result was garbage. Star Wars was already like 70’s left wing which still has a tether to what makes human beings tick. “Modern Audiences” is what they are trying to create with nothing but garbage coming out they want us to just settle and accept it. But we couldn’t even when we wanted to because the stories they are telling have a warped morality and they aren’t good or entertaining. Season 1 and 2 of mandolorian and rogue one were the only Disney Star Wars I thought acceptable.
I'd say that at least we always have the George Lucas movies and Legends to go back to, but even *that's* not true. The Dragona Joestar debacle ruined Jojo's for me. I couldn't even finish Jojolion. Dragona isn't even that out-of-place in the Jojo's universe. It was the discourse surrounding him that retroactively tainted the entire franchise.

I will never buy another Ubisoft game again no matter the outcome. I do not take pleasure in this. I loved most of their stuff. But now- so long big Bowser!
Wanting a game to not be a buggy mess on launch is NOT an extraordinary expectation. Expecting AAA from an AAA studio is NOT an extraordinary expectation.
The concerning thing about this is that similar people in any other organizations might act in a similar way. Being completely stubborn and not reacting to any criticism, except doubling down, till it is too late.
I used to work at a tractor supply before they dropped their DEI support. Best decision the company made to be frank, they saw the lining on the wall and realized that when a majority of your customers are farmers, mechanics and dog lovers. Probably isn't a good idea to push woke nonsense. I remember the meeting they had a few months before dropping the DEI support too, thought it was just a profit earnings call for the main managers, but I now know they were planning on ditching the woke. Good company to work for by the way, labor intense job but they have good benefits and decent starting pay where I live.
I predicted that from day 1...that they likely had a Japanese male protagonist but decided to switch out sometime during development to score DEI points. If they just stuck with the original plan this game would have been looking at Game of the Year possibilities...ah what could have been.
Idk how they dropped the ball on a game that hasn't been released yet. I was pretty excited for this AC tbh. Tbh it's kinda annoying that everyone is crying about the characters race. Yasuke was an actual samurai, why cry?
@@toomanyaccounts he was indeed a samurai, and every bit of little information about him says he was a samurai. So stay mad little kiddo, you should pick up a book and know what you're talking about before making bold statements big man. He was a samurai who became a retainer for daimyo oda nobunaga. It's proven that he was of high ranking as he owned property. If yasuke wasn't of high rank, his private dinners and regular conversations with the daimyo would have been controversial. There's actually a whole book about this, you should read it.
The whole theme of Afro Samurai was part of the joke ! There are NO AFRICAN SAMURAIS ! And I will never spend a cent for an Assassin's Creed game that has a black protagonist in feudal Japan.
there’s literally no lore from that time period…. So to say that there is not is a false statement when you cannot prove it.also the game has two main characters one is a black man who was extremely close to a Japanese royal family and the this a Japanese woman….. Ubisoft for years has carried this type of trend….. and not even mentioning the fact that all Ubisoft games at the start say they aren’t based on real history…. So just say you’re racist.
It could’ve just been original Kratos wasnt lore accurate but it worked cus there wasn’t any agenda. I don’t want realism I just want a good game with no woke bullshit Tashkent is a cool character but the hip hop music and him being homosexual is what ruined it for me. Could’ve been a cool game if they just made an original story and didn’t try to say this was somehow supposed to be historically accurate.
@@darthxeno3434the soy is strong in you... all this story about a black samouraï is based on lies written by a man who admited this lies. I suppose you will say cleopatra was black too. They could had made a game on the kingdom of Zimbabwe, which would had bien awesome as a setting. But noooo, they had to hide behind the racist excuse. Buy they crappy games, gorge yourself with it. Ask the japanese how they feel about the game.
I thought the whole point of getting all that Black Rock money was they didn't need to worry about sales or reviews. Did Black Rock pull the funding? Or was the CEO spending it all on personal items like houses and boats instead of using it to keep the company going.
Black Rock just gives them money for expansion. When companies expand they need credit. They still need to be actually profitable. They used to be able to throw out slop and sell it no matter what. That is starting not to work. If every game they put out is a failure they can fail as a company.
Black rock gives out loans to ppl who push the message. Key word LOAN. They gotta pay it back or no more money. Larry fink and the other trillionares aren't too happy with how the dei plan is failing. They spent millions upgrading their homes' security systems.
Remember the Sonic the Hedgehog movie? Remember how people criticized the first model of Sonic, the studio took a humble position, fixed the character and it was a massive success? Take notes Ubisoft, it isn't too late yet.
It wasn't one guy. His passing was an excuse used by the tiny hats to deploy their byoweppin (other grape soda sippers) upon the country. The hats created and supported that movement / organization.

Remain vigilant, scuttlebug is saying that the industry isn’t healing as much as people think, that a lot of the companies are publically firing DEI consultants not because they are stopping but because the internal culture of the company is so infested they aren’t required, they know firing the consultants would garner good PR, and then have marketing that makes it seem like you will get a cool game but when you get the game (after the 2hr steam refund window) you will see all the DEI crap rear its head
@@sootythunder3111if that what the actual happen, then i dont mind to see alot of big game company falling down because DEI shit. Indie game exist and they kicking hard now (wukong also indie, cmiiw)
Ubisoft blaming everyone, except themselves, for their own failure. They deserve to go out of business for making bad and mediocre games, not handling criticism well. The "get comfortable with not owning your games" comment (which is what really sealed their fate) also, not being innovative anymore. Most importantly, for doing what THEY wanted & making the games THEY wanted & not what their loyal, hardcore fans wanted. Ubisoft will be gone & they will be no more than a cautionary tale for the video game industry.
I think ubisoft needs to go bankrupt. While i feel for all the workers who have nothing to do with the decision making, one of these huge publishers needs to go under to be a wake up call to the rest of the industry to either course correct or youll be next in line
My expectations are too big? I could easily install Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, a game that came out in 2003 and enjoy the hell out of it because it's such a masterpiece of a Star Wars game and RPG. Many years and millions of dollars later a game called Star Wars Outlaws releases and I don't even want to go near that crap. My expectations are not the problem here.
You know what's awesome? Saber is doing the remake of KotOR. They just proved that they know how to make a good old fashioned fun video game with Space Marine 2.
How deluded are these Ubisoft activists if they thought Outlaws would have been a hit... But don't worry Ubisoft, the modern audience will save Shadows... this time for sure

They fired him and brought in gays, women, and minorities to rewrite the whole thing with a mind for left wing propaganda and the result was garbage. Star Wars was already like 70’s left wing which still has a tether to what makes human beings tick. “Modern Audiences” is what they are trying to create with nothing but garbage coming out they want us to just settle and accept it. But we couldn’t even when we wanted to because the stories they are telling have a warped morality and they aren’t good or entertaining. Season 1 and 2 of mandolorian and rogue one were the only Disney Star Wars I thought acceptable.
I'd say that at least we always have the George Lucas movies and Legends to go back to, but even *that's* not true. The Dragona Joestar debacle ruined Jojo's for me. I couldn't even finish Jojolion. Dragona isn't even that out-of-place in the Jojo's universe. It was the discourse surrounding him that retroactively tainted the entire franchise.
Ah yes, Ubisoft blaming us because their current games are sh*t and their business is bad, there's no way, Assassin's Creed Shadows will succeed.
Ubisoft deserves to go bankrupt for all the bad decisions over the last like 8+ years
That's totally what is happening right now 😅🤣🤣
I like ac odyssey, probably my favourite game of the last 10 years
@@ronnotwrong4936 same, odyssey scratches my Witcher 3 itches, I'm currently like 10 hours in, went to sleep at 4am lol. while I have no hope for Witcher 4, watching cdpr turning woke

Wow okay
So people were right about Yasuke being a DEI move.
“It was always happening and here’s why it’s a good thing.”
We know the progression.
@@cortholiopezorama8879 true. They are already saying that nobody ever claimed that he was historically accurate and that its just a game lmao.
I will never buy another Ubisoft game again no matter the outcome. I do not take pleasure in this. I loved most of their stuff. But now- so long big Bowser!
Nah bro, get AC2 for the Steam sale at $5
Think of it like giving Ubisoft a drop of water while they wonder the desert of financial failures.
It's really sad. Rayman, AC, Farcry, Tom Clancy's... All once great franchises.
@@OnlyTwoShoes the crew 2 was $1 on steam last week, took it as soon as i saw it lol
Yeah wanting good games is too high an expectation these days
Wanting a game to not be a buggy mess on launch is NOT an extraordinary expectation. Expecting AAA from an AAA studio is NOT an extraordinary expectation.
When technically as they launched a AAAA game they are AAAA now so youd expect even more polish
@@Jabarri74 Right? They threw the AAAA nonsesne to increase the price, but don't wanna increase everything else with it.
Ubisoft: "You have too high expectations"
Me playing tetris on game boy: "yeah, whatever"
If you look closely, Yasuke has George Floyd's lips 😂
😂😂 Yep!
How many times we gotta teach you this lesson, Mainstream Entertainment?
I love the activists.😊
The concerning thing about this is that similar people in any other organizations might act in a similar way. Being completely stubborn and not reacting to any criticism, except doubling down, till it is too late.
And no Ubisoft, Outlaws was absolute dog💩 so that was your game, not the players that caused the game to fail.
Media keeps telling me DEI is good for business.
Most of the media is full of activist
It is, it eliminates the competition... 😉
I used to work at a tractor supply before they dropped their DEI support.
Best decision the company made to be frank, they saw the lining on the wall and realized that when a majority of your customers are farmers, mechanics and dog lovers. Probably isn't a good idea to push woke nonsense.
I remember the meeting they had a few months before dropping the DEI support too, thought it was just a profit earnings call for the main managers, but I now know they were planning on ditching the woke.
Good company to work for by the way, labor intense job but they have good benefits and decent starting pay where I live.
It's kosher. It makes the investors happy
I predicted that from day 1...that they likely had a Japanese male protagonist but decided to switch out sometime during development to score DEI points. If they just stuck with the original plan this game would have been looking at Game of the Year possibilities...ah what could have been.
Also samurai maybe only 1-2 missions, to give more dev time to the real Assassins creed / male ninja.
Get woke, ALWAYS go broke.
Oh Ubisoft, how the mighty has fallen.
YOU BLEW IT, YOU HAD IT ALL AND YOU BLEW IT!!!
And screw Fentanyl Fl oyd.
How ironic people wanted Ubislop to make a Japan AC game and they dropped the ball so hard it ends up being the game that kills them
apparently for years proclaimed making a AC set in Japan was too easy for them to do
If they would have done it in the Ezio era... Before wokeness infected, it would have made bank.
Idk how they dropped the ball on a game that hasn't been released yet. I was pretty excited for this AC tbh. Tbh it's kinda annoying that everyone is crying about the characters race. Yasuke was an actual samurai, why cry?
@@Teslo-i8g he was not a samurai. He was a pet
@@toomanyaccounts he was indeed a samurai, and every bit of little information about him says he was a samurai. So stay mad little kiddo, you should pick up a book and know what you're talking about before making bold statements big man. He was a samurai who became a retainer for daimyo oda nobunaga. It's proven that he was of high ranking as he owned property. If yasuke wasn't of high rank, his private dinners and regular conversations with the daimyo would have been controversial. There's actually a whole book about this, you should read it.
Ubisoft Virtue Signaling may cost them their company... Let them and the creators of ANY Panderverse just fade away.
The whole theme of Afro Samurai was part of the joke !
There are NO AFRICAN SAMURAIS !
And I will never spend a cent for an Assassin's Creed game that has a black protagonist in feudal Japan.
If they wanted a black protagonist they should have made a game based in Africa or one of the European colonies.
there’s literally no lore from that time period…. So to say that there is not is a false statement when you cannot prove it.also the game has two main characters one is a black man who was extremely close to a Japanese royal family and the this a Japanese woman….. Ubisoft for years has carried this type of trend….. and not even mentioning the fact that all Ubisoft games at the start say they aren’t based on real history…. So just say you’re racist.
@@stunner9005 I´d play a brutal tribe warrior game. Perhaps in the style of the eighties Shaka Zulu series by BBC.
It could’ve just been original Kratos wasnt lore accurate but it worked cus there wasn’t any agenda. I don’t want realism I just want a good game with no woke bullshit Tashkent is a cool character but the hip hop music and him being homosexual is what ruined it for me. Could’ve been a cool game if they just made an original story and didn’t try to say this was somehow supposed to be historically accurate.
@@darthxeno3434the soy is strong in you... all this story about a black samouraï is based on lies written by a man who admited this lies.
I suppose you will say cleopatra was black too.
They could had made a game on the kingdom of Zimbabwe, which would had bien awesome as a setting. But noooo, they had to hide behind the racist excuse.
Buy they crappy games, gorge yourself with it.
Ask the japanese how they feel about the game.
So, they included Yasuke in the game just to cater to the PS5 looters.
Ugh? Please explain!
Now _that's_ some funny sh!t 😂🤣
He still could have just been a side character and at least some of this wouldn't have happened
@@lemming9984if you need that explain it tells us part of the problem
OOF.
I thought the whole point of getting all that Black Rock money was they didn't need to worry about sales or reviews. Did Black Rock pull the funding? Or was the CEO spending it all on personal items like houses and boats instead of using it to keep the company going.
Black Rock just gives them money for expansion. When companies expand they need credit. They still need to be actually profitable. They used to be able to throw out slop and sell it no matter what. That is starting not to work. If every game they put out is a failure they can fail as a company.
The houses and boats are not even close to being 5% of what company this big needs MONTHLY.
probably his exotic car collection
Socialists don't believe in return on investment. They think the money never ends
Black rock gives out loans to ppl who push the message. Key word LOAN. They gotta pay it back or no more money. Larry fink and the other trillionares aren't too happy with how the dei plan is failing. They spent millions upgrading their homes' security systems.
Very exited for this game, next ubisoft game should be Japanese warrior in Kenya.
In Nanking haha
and do what with the locals? Read and write? ... Oh wait
Remember the Sonic the Hedgehog movie? Remember how people criticized the first model of Sonic, the studio took a humble position, fixed the character and it was a massive success? Take notes Ubisoft, it isn't too late yet.
Did the Sonic team go out to blame their costumers?
@@CharlesBronson-uv3dqno they realized they were stupid and fixed their shit. 😅
No, it actually is too late, the brand is tarnished beyond repair
I'm fine with Ubi to be gone
I hope they go bust tbh. That’s the only way other companies will take notice
One guy changed the world for the worst….
He didn't do anything of any influence. The people in power used it to change the world for the worst.

‘Modern’ audience doesn’t exist. How many flops need to happen in order for these companies to undertake that?

Customer blaming is the death knell of any business.
Looks like we're getting very comfortable with not owning ubisoft games
Everything is going according to plan gaming is healing 💪🏻
Remain vigilant, scuttlebug is saying that the industry isn’t healing as much as people think, that a lot of the companies are publically firing DEI consultants not because they are stopping but because the internal culture of the company is so infested they aren’t required, they know firing the consultants would garner good PR, and then have marketing that makes it seem like you will get a cool game but when you get the game (after the 2hr steam refund window) you will see all the DEI crap rear its head

Glitches are one thing. Making a stealth focused Star Wars game you play as a boring character with no force ability is just a bad idea.

Close to bankruptcy and still won't give fans what they won't 😫
At this point they cannot. Too late. Fixing their games will take perhaps a year or two. They need a hit NOW.
Insert the rubbing hands together meme
Oy! Oy oy oy oy! 👃
I'd choose the Mr. Burns trademarked "Eeeeeeexcelent."
Guess Ubisoft is going to have to be comfortable with not owning our money 😂
Ubisoft blaming everyone, except themselves, for their own failure. They deserve to go out of business for making bad and mediocre games, not handling criticism well. The "get comfortable with not owning your games" comment (which is what really sealed their fate) also, not being innovative anymore. Most importantly, for doing what THEY wanted & making the games THEY wanted & not what their loyal, hardcore fans wanted. Ubisoft will be gone & they will be no more than a cautionary tale for the video game industry.
I think ubisoft needs to go bankrupt. While i feel for all the workers who have nothing to do with the decision making, one of these huge publishers needs to go under to be a wake up call to the rest of the industry to either course correct or youll be next in line
@@cheehee808_ A big name needs to go bankrupt for everyone to get a reality check
agreed. Stocks tanking clearly isnt enough for the video game industry to learn their lesson.
Hopefully the workers can band together and start new companies where they can put their passion into projects
@@nigelmaynard1641 good luck with that. It will start out fine then the same parasites will some how get on the teams and ruin everything again.
@@nigelmaynard1641many of these workers are the source of the problem…
My expectations are too big? I could easily install Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, a game that came out in 2003 and enjoy the hell out of it because it's such a masterpiece of a Star Wars game and RPG. Many years and millions of dollars later a game called Star Wars Outlaws releases and I don't even want to go near that crap. My expectations are not the problem here.
You know what's awesome? Saber is doing the remake of KotOR. They just proved that they know how to make a good old fashioned fun video game with Space Marine 2.
Shadows used to be have a male japanese protagonist and scrapped for George Floyd looking Yasuke from 2020. Thats f ing wild virtue signaling
If they like the person so much, why not just make the dang game about him on some alternate game story telling with new IP.

The Mythical Modern Audience strikes again!
How deluded are these Ubisoft activists if they thought Outlaws would have been a hit... But don't worry Ubisoft, the modern audience will save Shadows... this time for sure
I wonder why modern audience have not saved them
they’re trying. Shadows already has like over 100 five star reviews on xbox somehow
Paid critics no way actual gamers did that
@@omegaunknown766 Not sure how anyone actually was able to do it before the game was released. It won't let you read any of them though..

@@omegaunknown766 Just google" Asmongold: Ubisoft Bot Situation is INSANE (AC SHADOWS)". I get the feeling bots are just the modern audience. By that logic any cheater (aim bot) my be part of the modern audience or even is the modern audience O-O.
Ubisoft expecting to Star Wars Outlaws to be as big as RDR2 is insanely delusional and honestly kinda sad, this company is so out of touch
All they had to do is listen to their core audience and not go woke...
Ubisoft:
Before release: Don't like it, don't buy it.
After release: Why didn't you buy it?!
Nah...KCD II comes out in February, a game that actually sticks to historical accuracy.
Really then AC shadow is dead on arrival
Ubisoft, you should be comfortable with not only losing money, being broke like a criminal, but also losing your company.
Ubisoft should get comfortable not having our money.
"Gamers have Extraordinary expectations". So a well written story, good characters, and a game that is fun..is "Extraordinary"?
It sucks that a titan of gaming has fallen so low, but most of the people that made the company what it is are already gone, so its not a big loss.
They all have. Most good studios are small or independent.
Remember all the money they spent on NFTs?
Only way they could fix it would be to make AC Shadows historically accurate. They could, but we know they won't.
Can't afford it and the minority "modern audience" will @them with bots on Twitter. You know, the only people they care about.
Even so the damage is done, the rest of the world can forgive them if they do that, Japan won't.
Too far in development to do that
