Ultimate‘s a scam, but besides locking early access behind it, what‘s people‘s problem with Gold? 80€ has become the new standard, and 30€ for dlc ain’t bad (As long as they offer a worthwhile amount of content, which I feel like is the least of problems in Ubi games. Selling them this early definitely leaves a bad taste, but the only price that annoys me is Ultimate, cause all you get for that 20 bucks extra is some skins and other ingame goodies.

Honestly I hate that Yasuke is in the game for 2 reasons: 1. Ubisoft was under a lot of hate for being super sexist not only towards women in their games (ie not showing them or marketing them and then claiming that “actually Kassandra was the main character” when she’s not even on the box) and to the women working there (like actually look it up it’s bad) and they cheapen having a female protagonist something that only ONE Ac game has had which was a psp game reported with AC 3 remastered. 2. Let me play as an assassin in my assassin game, Yasuke can’t be stealthy, has no hidden blade, he’s not an assassin. WHY CANT I JUST PLAY AS A SINGLE CHARACTER AND LET HER BE AN ASSASSIN

@@askredditstudios8055 law of thermodynamics 2: a physical law based on universal empirical observation concerning heat and energy interconversions. A simple statement of the law is that heat always flows spontaneously from hotter to colder regions of matter (or 'downhill' in terms of the temperature gradient). Another statement is: "Not all heat can be converted into work in a cyclic process." The second law of thermodynamics establishes the concept of entropy as a physical property of a thermodynamic system. It predicts whether processes are forbidden despite obeying the requirement of conservation of energy as expressed in the first law of thermodynamics and provides necessary criteria for spontaneous processes. For example, the first law allows the process of a cup falling off a table and breaking on the floor, as well as allowing the reverse process of the cup fragments coming back together and 'jumping' back onto the table, while the second law allows the former and denies the latter. The second law may be formulated by the observation that the entropy of isolated systems left to spontaneous evolution cannot decrease, as they always tend toward a state of thermodynamic equilibrium where the entropy is highest at the given internal energy. An increase in the combined entropy of system and surroundings accounts for the irreversibility of natural processes, often referred to in the concept of the arrow of time.

I feel bit bad for Yasuke. The guy went from slavery to serving a noble to watching his lords empire fall to being refused death by the enemy (stories conflict on that) to being the basis for the most ridiculous arguments. This isn't even the most ridiculous one.. you can find more insane arguments about him all over but the gist of those is some idiot going "The native Japanese were black!". Did he exist? Yes. Does that make him part of Japanese history? Yes. Is that disrespectful? No. Was he a samurai or just a retainer given a title like Ajin? Who knows for sure? Is he sourced enough to justify a TV series? Probably as much as Robin Hood was to justify movies. Do I trust Hollywood or Ubisoft to do him any justice? Defintely not.
@res6148 the person who was historical there is out of place... yeah sure... also he was a samurai Japanese historians like Kaneko Hiraku, even says he was. Japanese linguistics look at Ōta Gyūichi's records and note that he only speaks about samurai in certain way, he speaks about yasuke in this way... there is more evidence saying he was a samurai than not

ALL the games were the same price (basically), they came on like a hard plastic box that you actually got to keep, and all you had to do was stick it into another box and it played perfectly. No down loading no system requirements no big crashes and glitches, oh and like no one came from the company to take the game back randomly after you paid for it. That was a nice time.
You got lucky, in the 90s games weren't price regulated, it cost me 70 dollars for sf2ce on genesis. I paid 65 for mario 64 but killer instinct gold was 80

@@johngobble Ghost of Tsushima might be better cinematically and in terms of story, but it is an aged game compared to Shadows which is brand new 2024 with top notch graphics and quality which Ubisoft has put hundreds of millions into. Secondly, Assassins creed is much better when it comes to freedom and the expansiveness of the open world, whereas Ghost of Tsushima is more story driven, polished game and more restrictive in my opinion. The scale and freedom is not comparable to an Assassins creed. We can compIain about them all we want but we all know that when Ubisoft puts time and money into an assassins creed, it’s simply the best open world to experience any historical time period.

It's going to be interesting how Twitter will react to the ending. Because in real life the dude ended up going back into slavery with the Portuguese. This is why having real historical figures as your ac mc is a bad idea.
Agreed. If the MC had MET Yasuke, it would've been fine, since the main character in every Assassin's Creed game always meets some real historical figures... but they've never been one because, guess what, they're meant to be the "Hidden Ones".
Really? I remember reading something different. I can't remember where I saw it, but my understanding was that after the death of Oda Nobunaga, he was sent to the Jesuits, but after that it wasn't known what happened to him.
His historical fate is actually unknown. He returned to the Jesuits, but after that the records get hazy. There’s plenty of room for them to say he went into hiding, either as a Templar or assassin agent. Not the first time it’s happened in assassins creed.

@@rachitgupta8345 its not having a black character that is ever the problem. Its whether or not it makes sense to have one.

Here its not actually an issue since there was documented evidence that it happened.

It just wouldnt make any sense and it would obviously be an attempt to score extra points with meaningless "representation".

@frostkitsunelive7661 yes he was and just because OC is japanese doesnt necessarily mean that they know more than a non-japanese person about a specific point of Japanese history
@callnight1441 Okay then. Point us to an actual *historic text* describing him as a samurai. Not Wikipedia, considering Wikipedia has been getting flack for changing Yasuke's page in the wake of all of this. I'll provide my evidence to the contrary. Ahem: - Yasuke only lived in Japan for 18 months. Even if he had begun training the moment he came to Japan, he would never have had the time to officially complete the training *required* to become a samurai. - Yasuke did not have a surname. All Samurai, no matter what class they come from, are given a surname upon becoming a samurai. It was a sign of honor and status, and let people know they were important people. - Yasuke has been listed in numerous texts as nothing more than a retainer, a person who carried Nobunaga's weapons for him off of the battlefield. This was a duty typically reserved for children, not full-grown men. -By the time Yasuke was reported to have arrived in Japan with the Jesuits, Nobunaga had retired from the battlefield. He would have no need to ever see a battlefield.
Because those are people that we know too much about. Yasuke might be real but he kinda vanishes from history after nobunaga dies so its easy to make up what super secret stuff he gets into after.

Except the main char is a Japanese female assassin? But im still waiying for Black flag to get shit on for not having a caribbean main char when it was set in the caribbean but had a british main char... guys lets just be honest now the inly reason ppl care is cause hes black
@TSH425 exactly, they fr grasping at any reason to hate on him😭 " oh he was a retainer not a samurai" Retainers were basically the same as samurai "He was only in japan for a few months! Besides that we don't know anything about him!" That makes it easier for them to make a story with his character. "It's pandering!" It isn't pandering if he was real They literally all say the exact same things I just listed down 😭
@@toastiboi7618 I just went to an AI and asked it the following word for word - "Is there any historical evidence that Yasuke was anything more than a slave and a retainer? I only care about historical evidence and not interpretative editorial opinions." The answer was No. There is no such evidence. He arrived in Japan as a slave and was taken by Nobunaga as a retainer (a low-ranking servant or page). There is no sources from the period that define him as samurai or mentioning that he achieved this high warrior status. He was explicitly addressed not as a samurai but as a retainer (again - a type of low rank servant).
@@GeorgiKolev85 He was 100% not a samurai. Its so funny to me that even wiki trys to bend history whenever some controversy props up. They make stuff up as they go.
For the records of him, not much exists, he became a retainer.. but I guess more in title. Idk if he was a warrior or a assistant. The length of time under oda was short. with assassin's creed if I was picking first I would look for time gaps and personal strife. Yamamoto Kansuke, would have been a better match, or even sakamoto ryoma. Both had solo points in there history where the story could have been woven in.
no one know if he was definitively a samurai or not. there are points that lean towards saying that he was but there's not enough definitive sources to explicitly state that he was. samurai as a term used in the sense that we do now was after his time. we need more information to state that he was or that he wasn't. best answer we have currently is we do not currently know. more information is needed.
Don't forget. Let's make them gay.... also, btw the historical evidence is against yasuke being a samurai. He was a retainer/bodyguard and entertainer who fought in one known fight. Also it takes around 8 years to become a samurai as training started when kids were around 8 years old and ended around 15 to 16 years old. Yasuke was only in Japan for 3 years and served as a bodyguard for 2 of those years.
I mean, most average people probably thought he was some menacing figure. From what i know, dude was a giant in real life. Thats probably why people consider him a samurai. Samurai were probably even intimidated by him.
Also, i think he was given the title of samurai being the first foreigner to be named such. He started out as a servant to an italian jesuit, but then lord Oda Nobunaga asked to meet him. Literally because theyve never seen a black man. Oda literally had his men wash yasuke because he thought ink was all over his skin.
Every samurai was a servant whitie. And being a sword bearer was an important position in literally ever martial culture, especially Japanese. And the fact he got kicked out instead of killed is why Ubisoft picked him. Yasuke appears for a year, Nobunaga dies, and then the person who killed him let's Yasuke go. It's a great story to play with.
Every other ac title had correct characters to represent their era. If they wanted they could've done assassin's creed:Africa and people would be cool with it. The way ubisoft pushes for yasuke is for the sake of WOKE not some other bs. People wants to play japanese character in a game that sets in feudal Japan. Lead writer of this game loves BLM bs so much she had to do this story.
I mean besides being african yasuke was incredibly historically insignificant, there are very little documents of what he did before, during, or after his short duration as a retainer. Just a game tho, maybe they could make it interesting (if it wasnt ubisoft)

@@thatnevelguy4466 They're fighting on the Wiki page for Yasuke, there's four major groups, the first two are the flame war groups, which were in an edit war until admin confined them to the discussion page, and then there's the actual history nerds and historians trying to peacefully correct things. Sadly it seems he wasn't actually given the rank of Samurai, which sucks, i always thought he was. Some of the highlight of this incident are: both sides comments getting torn apart and redacted with (personal attack removed), edit wars devolving into things like "It's commonly believed that he was a white Christian man", something i won't actually quote that included racist remarks relating to his belonging to a certain agricultural industry(yes, that one), and a Reddit sub that's a failed circlejerk(failed in that no one is circlejerking it up, or it's an incredibly racist, homophobic, transphobic space that just sucks at sarcasm and seems to appreciate those groups legitimately when they actually hate them) which is actually just an echo chamber for what I'll just sum up to being anti-gamergate gamers trying desperately to make out like he was a Samurai despite a lack of evidence, seemingly simply because of the 'chuds' they prefer to side against. Grab some popcorn, pull up a seat, and watch as Wikipedia admins and legitimate users try to fight fires and calm down a fight between reddit and 4chan being waged on Wikipedia. Honestly hats off to them, they're doing a great job all considered, never see this well moderated arguments on social media. Edit: Also, in hindsight, seeing as he was associated with Oda Nobunaga, i don't see why anyone would covet association like that, Nobunaga was one of the worst genocidal god complex maniacs in history, he was usurped mainly not for greed/gain/hunger for power, but rather because his generals were sick of being forced to engage in mass genocides, beheading women and children. His generals were so terrified of him they lied about losing a war with Korea because everyone was too afraid too be the one to break the bad news, which went on until a confused peace negotiation with Chinese ambassadors where both sides thought the other were surrendering. He was so well known as a piece of shit before he actually rose to power that as soon as he inherited the title from his father, one of his head advisors commited seppuku as an act of protest, something that was usually done when you were going to die anyway, and instead of the well known version where someone is there to cut your head off as soon as you stab yourself, he just opened his stomache and sat there, waiting to die. Granted he was comming from a pretty shitty life, but this is like escaping slavery to be Hitlers personal attendee. Not something to be proud of.
This is why I have patience with most AAA games, especially Ubisoft. I’ll just get the complete ultimate edition in a couple years when it’s $15, if I get it at all. I’ll be too busy with the PC edition of Ghosts of Tsushima to get the 15 year too late Samurai AC.

Thanks to inflation, $99 in 2016 is $130 in 2024. In that sense, the price is pretty much at par. Just to throw in an example, The Digital Deluxe version of Fallout 4 was $90 in 2015. And the version that came with the wearable Pip-boy was $120, which is almost $160 in 2024 money. That said, what you get in an "ultimate edition" these days is far from worth it. The pip-boy was probably mostly paid with marketing budget rather than its sales, but those are the things I miss. Now it's like "if you pay $30 extra you get access 3 days early, and a weapon that makes the game super easy for a portion of the game".

That lasted all of a day until people started disproving Yasuke being an actual samurai and showing how Wiki was being edited by history revisers in real time.

@@SomeOtherRegularGuynope… it’s like a trap beat ☠️
True also you cant spell rap without crap.
Honestly I hate that Yasuke is in the game for 2 reasons:
1. Ubisoft was under a lot of hate for being super sexist not only towards women in their games (ie not showing them or marketing them and then claiming that “actually Kassandra was the main character” when she’s not even on the box) and to the women working there (like actually look it up it’s bad) and they cheapen having a female protagonist something that only ONE Ac game has had which was a psp game reported with AC 3 remastered.
2. Let me play as an assassin in my assassin game, Yasuke can’t be stealthy, has no hidden blade, he’s not an assassin. WHY CANT I JUST PLAY AS A SINGLE CHARACTER AND LET HER BE AN ASSASSIN
and its funny because being an assassin is something girls would be arguably better at than guys like blending in or squeezing in small spaces

law of thermodynamics 2: a physical law based on universal empirical observation concerning heat and energy interconversions. A simple statement of the law is that heat always flows spontaneously from hotter to colder regions of matter (or 'downhill' in terms of the temperature gradient). Another statement is: "Not all heat can be converted into work in a cyclic process."
The second law of thermodynamics establishes the concept of entropy as a physical property of a thermodynamic system. It predicts whether processes are forbidden despite obeying the requirement of conservation of energy as expressed in the first law of thermodynamics and provides necessary criteria for spontaneous processes. For example, the first law allows the process of a cup falling off a table and breaking on the floor, as well as allowing the reverse process of the cup fragments coming back together and 'jumping' back onto the table, while the second law allows the former and denies the latter. The second law may be formulated by the observation that the entropy of isolated systems left to spontaneous evolution cannot decrease, as they always tend toward a state of thermodynamic equilibrium where the entropy is highest at the given internal energy. An increase in the combined entropy of system and surroundings accounts for the irreversibility of natural processes, often referred to in the concept of the arrow of time.

This isn't even the most ridiculous one.. you can find more insane arguments about him all over but the gist of those is some idiot going "The native Japanese were black!".
Did he exist? Yes. Does that make him part of Japanese history? Yes. Is that disrespectful? No. Was he a samurai or just a retainer given a title like Ajin? Who knows for sure? Is he sourced enough to justify a TV series? Probably as much as Robin Hood was to justify movies. Do I trust Hollywood or Ubisoft to do him any justice? Defintely not.

The scale and freedom is not comparable to an Assassins creed.

I'll provide my evidence to the contrary. Ahem:
- Yasuke only lived in Japan for 18 months. Even if he had begun training the moment he came to Japan, he would never have had the time to officially complete the training *required* to become a samurai.
- Yasuke did not have a surname. All Samurai, no matter what class they come from, are given a surname upon becoming a samurai. It was a sign of honor and status, and let people know they were important people.
- Yasuke has been listed in numerous texts as nothing more than a retainer, a person who carried Nobunaga's weapons for him off of the battlefield. This was a duty typically reserved for children, not full-grown men.
-By the time Yasuke was reported to have arrived in Japan with the Jesuits, Nobunaga had retired from the battlefield. He would have no need to ever see a battlefield.
Why not make Hanzo Hattori or Kotaro Fuma as NINJA ASSASSIN?

He arrived in Japan as a slave and was taken by Nobunaga as a retainer (a low-ranking servant or page). There is no sources from the period that define him as samurai or mentioning that he achieved this high warrior status. He was explicitly addressed not as a samurai but as a retainer (again - a type of low rank servant).

Its so funny to me that even wiki trys to bend history whenever some controversy props up. They make stuff up as they go.
For the records of him, not much exists, he became a retainer.. but I guess more in title. Idk if he was a warrior or a assistant. The length of time under oda was short.
with assassin's creed if I was picking first I would look for time gaps and personal strife.
Yamamoto Kansuke, would have been a better match, or even sakamoto ryoma. Both had solo points in there history where the story could have been woven in.
no one know if he was definitively a samurai or not. there are points that lean towards saying that he was but there's not enough definitive sources to explicitly state that he was. samurai as a term used in the sense that we do now was after his time. we need more information to state that he was or that he wasn't. best answer we have currently is we do not currently know. more information is needed.
If they wanted a black main character, all they had to do was an assassin's creed set during the boer or zulu wars.

Don't forget. Let's make them gay.... also, btw the historical evidence is against yasuke being a samurai. He was a retainer/bodyguard and entertainer who fought in one known fight. Also it takes around 8 years to become a samurai as training started when kids were around 8 years old and ended around 15 to 16 years old.

Should be a dlc for afro samurai featuring Samuel L Jackson
This will be a mod onPC😂
Now we're talking
Samual L. Jackson's character talking to other samurai, "ENGLISH MUTHA FUKKA! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!"
No stop shoving black people into everything
“Is that a motherfucking rpg?”
A servant. Black servant who carried sword for a lord and got kicked out of the country the moment his master died.
I mean, most average people probably thought he was some menacing figure. From what i know, dude was a giant in real life. Thats probably why people consider him a samurai. Samurai were probably even intimidated by him.
Also, i think he was given the title of samurai being the first foreigner to be named such. He started out as a servant to an italian jesuit, but then lord Oda Nobunaga asked to meet him. Literally because theyve never seen a black man. Oda literally had his men wash yasuke because he thought ink was all over his skin.
A servant...to the shogun, like anyone 3lse. Yasuke was part of Oda Nobunaga's (the ruler of Japan) retinue. Check your sources.
Every samurai was a servant whitie. And being a sword bearer was an important position in literally ever martial culture, especially Japanese. And the fact he got kicked out instead of killed is why Ubisoft picked him. Yasuke appears for a year, Nobunaga dies, and then the person who killed him let's Yasuke go. It's a great story to play with.
Every other ac title had correct characters to represent their era. If they wanted they could've done assassin's creed:Africa and people would be cool with it. The way ubisoft pushes for yasuke is for the sake of WOKE not some other bs. People wants to play japanese character in a game that sets in feudal Japan. Lead writer of this game loves BLM bs so much she had to do this story.
Also add two other sides, arguing about a female lead
I mean besides being african yasuke was incredibly historically insignificant, there are very little documents of what he did before, during, or after his short duration as a retainer. Just a game tho, maybe they could make it interesting (if it wasnt ubisoft)
"just a game" , ubisoft is a propaganda machine, all the npc or character are so mixed up that it's ridiculous beyond measure, they get LGBTQ flag everywhere, overpriced dumps, and souless boring grinding games

He’s mocking the fact that in a game about being an Assassin, being the only notable black skinned person executing people would be a death sentence in real life feudal Japan once you get enough notoriety, but Ubisoft won’t make the AI that way and instead make them dumb as bricks. 🧱

Yasuke drama aside 130$ is fking insane.
Where I live it's $169.99 for the ultimate edition

別に日本人は弥助を嫌ってはいなかった。だからフィクションの中で弥助を侍として扱って来た。フィクションを現実として考える人々があまりにも多くなった。しかし、Wikipediaで弥助が侍だったと歴史を改竄するものが出てきた。だから、日本人は弥助が侍ではなかったと世界に発信しなければいけなくなった。フィクションとしての弥助侍を楽しんでいたものとしては残念に思うよ。黒侍を潰したのはそれを盲信した人々なんだ。とても残念に思うよ。

Oh boy have you seen the Man or a bear in the wild rage bait? That is going on for weeks and content creators are making ash like crazy
@@thatnevelguy4466 They're fighting on the Wiki page for Yasuke, there's four major groups, the first two are the flame war groups, which were in an edit war until admin confined them to the discussion page, and then there's the actual history nerds and historians trying to peacefully correct things.
Sadly it seems he wasn't actually given the rank of Samurai, which sucks, i always thought he was.
Some of the highlight of this incident are: both sides comments getting torn apart and redacted with (personal attack removed), edit wars devolving into things like "It's commonly believed that he was a white Christian man", something i won't actually quote that included racist remarks relating to his belonging to a certain agricultural industry(yes, that one), and a Reddit sub that's a failed circlejerk(failed in that no one is circlejerking it up, or it's an incredibly racist, homophobic, transphobic space that just sucks at sarcasm and seems to appreciate those groups legitimately when they actually hate them) which is actually just an echo chamber for what I'll just sum up to being anti-gamergate gamers trying desperately to make out like he was a Samurai despite a lack of evidence, seemingly simply because of the 'chuds' they prefer to side against.
Grab some popcorn, pull up a seat, and watch as Wikipedia admins and legitimate users try to fight fires and calm down a fight between reddit and 4chan being waged on Wikipedia. Honestly hats off to them, they're doing a great job all considered, never see this well moderated arguments on social media.
Edit: Also, in hindsight, seeing as he was associated with Oda Nobunaga, i don't see why anyone would covet association like that, Nobunaga was one of the worst genocidal god complex maniacs in history, he was usurped mainly not for greed/gain/hunger for power, but rather because his generals were sick of being forced to engage in mass genocides, beheading women and children. His generals were so terrified of him they lied about losing a war with Korea because everyone was too afraid too be the one to break the bad news, which went on until a confused peace negotiation with Chinese ambassadors where both sides thought the other were surrendering. He was so well known as a piece of shit before he actually rose to power that as soon as he inherited the title from his father, one of his head advisors commited seppuku as an act of protest, something that was usually done when you were going to die anyway, and instead of the well known version where someone is there to cut your head off as soon as you stab yourself, he just opened his stomache and sat there, waiting to die. Granted he was comming from a pretty shitty life, but this is like escaping slavery to be Hitlers personal attendee. Not something to be proud of.
While I most certainly argued about this with people, I definitely did not forget that price tag lmfao
69.99? Like every game?
This is why I have patience with most AAA games, especially Ubisoft. I’ll just get the complete ultimate edition in a couple years when it’s $15, if I get it at all. I’ll be too busy with the PC edition of Ghosts of Tsushima to get the 15 year too late Samurai AC.
@@masonmarlatt15yes, 69.99 for a half baked game. 130 for the rest of the stuff that should be in the base game.
Plot twist Yasuke was a weapons bearer and not documented being an actual samurai
He was, he served oga nobunaga
@@Ex-memegodita as a retainer, not a samurai
@@Zetpherious who cares? This is a fictional game. Has Odyssey not taught us they dgaf about historical accuracy lol
@@Zetpherious Retainers we're still samurai. They were given land instead of just living on their Lord's. Yasuke was even favored by the Lord he served.
@joemungin9104 he was literally in Japan for sum total of 15 months. He couldn't even speak the language. Westerners are revising history by claiming that he was Samurai, and people at the time recognized him as such
Let’s be honest tho if they never had yasuke and just gave us a sexy shinobi woman people would be on it like flies
Remember guys: Jacob is not depressed and he's living his best life
I want to go back to the good old times where the ultimate editions of AAA titles were only 99 bucks
Thanks to inflation, $99 in 2016 is $130 in 2024. In that sense, the price is pretty much at par.
Just to throw in an example, The Digital Deluxe version of Fallout 4 was $90 in 2015. And the version that came with the wearable Pip-boy was $120, which is almost $160 in 2024 money.
That said, what you get in an "ultimate edition" these days is far from worth it. The pip-boy was probably mostly paid with marketing budget rather than its sales, but those are the things I miss. Now it's like "if you pay $30 extra you get access 3 days early, and a weapon that makes the game super easy for a portion of the game".
No thanks, I'll use that money to buy pizza and snacks instead.

All the bullshit these companies tend to do has nothing to do with the company itself. Their hands are forced. Everyone’s hands are forced in the corporate world.

Probably true
In 16th-century Japan, the title of samurai spoke to rank and was loosely defined as a warrior in the service of a lord or another warrior.
the smithsonian magazine.
Very very likely
So... basically what you are telling me is that ubisoft saw ghost of tsushima was successful and wanted to make a carbon copy 😂
And they wanted to do the samurai vs ninja dynamic, but run the samurai perspective through a foreigner who only spent about two years in Japan and left after his host committed seppuku.
Also, looking forward to all the game journalists calling the inevitable RE5 Remake racist after they all praise this game.
No they decided to make a AC fan dream come true.
Besides a WW2 settings, feudal Japan is one of the most highly request settings.. when AC is still good that is
Red was already a huge fan wanted project, But I will admit releasing the trailer a day before the steam release was cunning, and it worked so
Right? Everybody knows that Ghost of Tsushima invented Feudal Japan
The only black samurai in history and a ninja chick will surely fully and faithfully represent samurai, ninja and Japanese culture in a respectful and historically correct way.
