Ubisoft dug themselves deep with this and star wars outlaws. Why would I want to play this when the latest samurai game before this, Rise of the Ronin, looks way more fun and accurate than this game without even trying to be realistically accurate. It might have to do with it being made by Team Ninja, an actual Japanese game developing studio. 😂
Inb4 artards reply with "BUT ITS FANTASY!" and "BUT ANIMUS or ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY!" without realizing that fantasy elements in history are fine so long as you RESPECT THE ACTUAL HISTORY. AC has been taking diarretic shits all over history ever since Origins.
@@nickm1242 yeah, this. But they made a statement how it's all historically accurate while it wasn't. And now they're labeling other folks with -ist words for pointing it out. Ubi tried to make a dump on our doorsteps but forgot to put their pants down.
@@nickm1242it is hilarious that they will use fantasy as an excuse to rewrite history and think being faithful to history and fantasy stuff cannot co exist, we saw this with the Final Fantasy 16 controversy, yet these are the same people who complained about the lack of diversity in Kingdom Come: Deliverance despite having no fantasy elements and aiming more towards historical accuracy.

A question that's been asked for several games now, but apparently questioning why an assassin's creed game is featuring something other than an assassin (or at least an interesting derivative from a lore standpoint, like a templar with assassin training) as a central protagonist is just haters hating change or some shit like that.
Worst part is the series had that covered until 4 where the protagonists were powerhouses, which had an in-universe justification in them being genetic freaks who could literally punch locks off pillories. Then Unity and the RPG mechanics came, along with the degrading and compartmentalizing of the power fantasy.
Ubi made a game around assassin vikings, and somehow they thought it was a good enough idea to continue having more fighters. At least with Unity players would get wrecked if they tried to brute force with combat. Getting caught and forced to fight directly should be a punishment in these types of games.
I just look at this game and get reminded how Suckerpunch used ACTUAL consulting firms to make an ACTUAL historically accurate game in japan with Ghosts of Tsushima and got a full-ass ambassador award for it.
And they went out of their way to claim the game was NOT aimed to be historically accurate as well. If any team knows how to properly respect a culture, it's Suckerpunch Thank you for watching!
If it was a game made by small indie studio, it will be ok, people will understand for cultural inaccuracy and technical problems, it will be cute. but ac shadow was made by Ubisoft, Giant company with hundreds of employees and millions dollars that they can use for research. the game is $100+ ffs. some ppl say we're too hard on AC shadows, but with that price tag i think it is ok to nitpick. kudos for Suckerpunch for actually care about culture than pretentious Ubisoft ppl who pretend they care about honoring culture.
Oh my god. First, your wife, even drunk, has the eyes of a HAWK for graphical and historical errors. That's genuinely awe inspiring and kinda terrifying. Second, I need you to slow down your editing roll because you're way too fucking powerful, sir. 😂 the subtitling is actual art. I'm sending this to my friends, who also adore your wife and your sweet editing skills. 🎉 Thank you and yours, as always, for the great content.
To be fair, AC was never a pure stealth game (I wish it was, I love this genre), there was plenty of combat on it. This game had the chance to be 100% stealth in a cool way, instead, randomly Ubisoft decided Star Wars Outlaws as the stealth game lol who looks at Han Solo and imagine the character sneaking around? Anyway, a pure stealth AC game would felt like a novelty, Splinter Cell open world featuring ninjas, even people who have prejudices towards stealth games (it's a super niched genre, sadly), even these players would be at least curious to fulfill the ninja fantasy as much as possible (including Hitman disguises, as they should be. By the way, Age of Empires 4 of all things have a very cool depiction of ninjas). But it's the usual soulless Ubisoft approach, they include action (and later bloated rpg elements) on a game series about ninjas because they want to attract as much people as possible, so they mix a lot of stuff, trying to make a game for "everyone", in the end the game struggles to execute the multiple concepts. Again, Outlaws is the perfect example, 20 different systems and they all feel subpar, even the cover shooter (the devs specialty, they are the ones who worked on The Division 1 and 2)
I'm not even Japanese. I'm a black dude from Los Angeles. The entirety of my knowledge of Japanese culture comes from anime and video games, but there were certain things I saw in this trailer and the reveal trailer that I saw and was like "Hmm...that doesn't look right..." I noticed the statue thing too and I didn't know that it's not permitted to be depicted in media, I just knew that in anime and games, that exact shrine is usually seen empty and without the statue. For them to use the statue without permission is a scummy thing to do.
I gotta ask, if its taboo to depict the statue, who cares? Like how Muslims dont like depicting Muhammad, if its not meant to be insulting then whats the issue? They are trying to depict the setting (horribly for the most part) and immerse you in the culture. Imagine if all the iconography was removed from the first AC games like Islamic and Christian symbols, Crescents and Crosses, Mosques and Churches removed from the setting, how less immersive would it feel.
@@liamgibson8602 Japan asks us to respect their culture nicely while Muslims use violence. I rather change something out of respect rather than fear and see no problem respecting Japanese culture especially since it takes almost nothing away from the end product. AC1 was also handled with much more care and love and they didn't abuse history nearly as much as they do now. Your point would have a little more ground to stand on if Ubi was still making good games and if AC1 was nearly as controversial for depicting something like Muhammad and wasn't just religious fanfiction almost no one had a problem with.
@@TangoMoonStar let’s not generalize everyone as a violent extremist yeah? lol. But yeah, they are violent people over the world and different religions. The way you say it makes it sound broad; some one that’s ignorant might take it the wrong way.
They said this game is for honoring the Japanese but then when Japanese said they are making it wrong and disrespectful they called Japanese as racists. Wth is wrong with those ppl seriously?
@@DashBlue They're counting on east asians to be docile and quiet. They would never pull this BS against blacks or south asians. The woke crowd would hunt them down and socially cancel them.
Why the fuck would we want to play as an armoured warrior in an assassin's creed game. The fact that he's also extremely historically inaccurate only adds insult to injury. KUDARAN
I really don't think anyone would have complained if the game was just about a shinobi, at least then they would have enough dev time to realize the sword isn't properly sheathed....I guess they would've missed it anyway くだらん！(KUDARAN!) thank you for watching!
@@usonohoshi6165 The assassin that's closest to a fighter/tank pre-Origins is Connor and he's still nimble and stealthy. Ubisoft has proven that we can have a mix of those three fighting styles/classes and still stay true to the series' main gameplay mechanics but no! Just make a whole different class because "diversity of gameplay" or something.
While the actual good Assassin's Creed titles never shied away from open combat, it was usually only when the game forced it on you or because you had screwed up. And the combat could be challenging or tedious, which helped for the theme. You're not a warrior, you're not a soldier, YOU'RE AN ASSASSIN. Your job is to stealthily and discreetly take out targets, so getting into open combat means you failed. While certainly, mechanics were introduced that let you more easily wipe out enemies (execution streak comes to mind), enemies also had different resistances and abilities that you had to remember and fight around. It made combat more challenging. Now, it's all the same. Parry the enemy unless they glow red, then dodge instead, then unleash your super duper power skill. All enemies are the same, just with more or less health. It's mindless hack and slash where you can solo fight an entire fort of enemies, instead of wanting to stealthily sneak in and by them. I've literally handicapped myself in AC games from Origins onwards just to not simply speed run through the games by simply yoloing in and wiping everyone out.
@@lmahu6627 But isn't the lack of open fights more accurate? And unique? I recall that even IF you do openly fight and kill in old AC games. It's clearly JUST for fun. Something to do if you want to take a break from doing the main story. You still technically FAIL a mission if you fight like Yasuke. So it feels like they're treating Yasuke as a JOKE with the way we HAVE to use him as a tank warrior in a game about ASSASSINS. Where it's now MANDATORY to fight in the middle of day- not even a stealth kill just a full on brawl. Kill more than the main target, WHILE surrounded with a bunch of witnesses... and loudly rams through gates. Again... in a game about STEALTH. Honestly, all they had to do with the play style is be hitman with parkour. It's what made them stand out. If we wanted to just brawl in the open and kill needlessly without focus or any sort of strategy, there's a TON of games out there.
I've worked on roofs here in Japan for more than 20 years , and there's no way they would have made a wooden door on a kawara yane (roof). And actually , if you walk on kawara yane it makes a lot of sound , and break easily if you step on a weak spot so I don't think ninjas or any kind of spy would actually walk on a that type of roof . Yeah , it's just a game...I'm just nit-picking at this point ^^
thanks for the info! yeah, we cut it out of the video, but my wife did mention there's no way anybody would be running, let alone doing parkour, on a kawara yane like that lol thank you for watching!
@polodhtip6061 yes but mostly in Fantasy setting, i can't name one Japanese game that have real historical European setting. In fantasy setting anything goes dude, no Japanese would protest if the made an Assassin Creed in Fantasy Japanese setting.
Candles also used to be very expensive, you had to actually go out and gather the wax and everything, so just having dozens of candles burning around is also unrealistic. It's literally burning immense amounts of money for no reason.
-stranded and captured in japan -became a slave -japanese put samurai armor on you because it looks goofy -your job is to carry equipments only -stuck in a war and surrender immediately -became a slave again Also westerners hundreds of years later : "THE LEGENDARY BLACK SAMURAI!!!"
Yasuke never wore armor historically. Even if he did for entertainment. He would have wore what the ashigaru had. The npc that Ubi made him killed in the game.
@@william3791 Only weirdo or some edgy kid worship le Marquis de Sade lol, most french people don't even know who is he... Victor Hugo is maybe the most worshiped and loved french author in France
Oh thank god I wasn't the only one who noticed this. Also that's a magical candle with a perfect balance, because it stands straight up with nothing to balance it on, neither a hole in the holder to keep it up.
@@scarecrowhobo He was a dick-washing baggage-carrier and holder of umbrellas. He didn't even get to toot like John Blanke did. It is incredibly unlikely that he was anything even remotely resembling a bodyguard, besides the fact that he'd be expected to throw himself on the swords to protect his master, much like all other retainers. Because that's what he was. A retainer. He likely never even held a sword in anything other than a ceremonial capacity.
@@scarecrowhobo There are no records of him being a bodyguard to my knowledge. He was mostly there to be exotic, given there could be many reasons from Nobunga liking him and considered him a friend to being a punching bag when Oda needed to vent.
holy shit, and I thought I was being critical of the trailers, y'all took it to new heights and saw shit I missed, like that stupid floating door. keep up the good work!! Oh, also, the most recent trailer they put out yesterday? check out the horse physics.
thank you for watching! All our analysis videos go fairly deep, glad you found it entertaining! Every new video from Ubi is a gold mine, so many secrets and easter eggs waiting to be found. The horse physics is wild, thank you for pointing it out lol
Crazy that 2 drunk Japanese people can correct what THOUSANDS of Ubisoft employees have worked on for years... Within 20 min... Ubisoft, who are you hiring for historical accuracy for these games?

@@axiss5840 Now that i think about it, i know nothing about any film, game or book characters because they never sat down and wrote down how awesome they are.

At 17:38 the soldier with the rifle is clearly a young man wearing a menpo and is standing on a platform made of wooden planks, only for the young man to be replaced by a bald old guy at 18:16, and then at 19:10 the whole platform is replaced by tied together bamboo sticks.
@@FF-qx6cl The guy she jumps into is the same, the angle she jumps at is roughly the same, the building in the background is the same, and the lighting is the same.
@@Stormgnome it may be the same character she's jumping onto, but in the previous shot he is standing on a platform above ground while the closeup shot shows we're at ground level. the wood column behind her also wasn't part of the first shot either.
My girlfriend is from Hashimoto, and I talked to her about this game for a bit. She looked it up and said it was kind of offensive to have Yasuke as a main character, and she made fun of the music that played when he entered combat. She thought it was ridiculous
Tell you girlfriend it's offensive when Japanese people dress up as 1950s greasers and when Japanese dudes rap like they're from a ghetto lol. The hypocrisy is strong with her if she even exists.
How is it offensive for him to be a main character but not offensive they want 140$ for a single player game? People are so mad about the wrong thing here
@@DaBlaccGhostOrrrr hear me out, you’re on the side of the internet that are mad about this specific part of the game? There are plenty of other posts and videos of people also being upset about the price.
@@DaBlaccGhost Here, let me help you: Japanese people, especially Samurai, were not black. And this guy was no Samurai either. This one isn't hard to guess
@@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access Maybe he would not have had swords drawn on him if he opened the door normally and not smash through it like an enemy siege weapon.
I'm a Korean, and while I'm not that well versed in Japanese culture I do know about it due to our countries sharing similar culture based on Confucianism. I didn't complain much when I played Ghost of Tsushima despite being historically wrong because for one the creators claimed it was a fantasy and secondly the game itself blended Samurai culture into the game so well that it didn't matter in the end. I could feel the respect the devs had for Japanese culture and I appreciated it. Watching AC Shadows trailer made my blood boil and I had to stop myself from making racist comments due to how poor everything was done. It almost made me hate everything about French and Black people due to how disrespecting they were towards asian audiences. I'm glad the world disagrees with Ubisoft and by extension Afrocentrism.
this made me agree with all of the hate for french people. i always thought those memes of them always being hated and made fun of and such were whatever but now i agree with 100% all of them
Don't blame Black people for this... did you notice that in the entire video, all of the people talking about the design philosophy of the game are White? The people who are making the decision to have Yasuke be a main character are certainly mostly White people in upper-level positions. They do not know how to respect Japanese culture, and they do not know better than to try and integrate diversity in a place it does not work. Imagine how compelling Yasuke might be as a side quest character. He would be an anomaly in the Japanese environment, but you could create a side story that plays off of what we actually know about Yasuke, and what could have been. This is not the fault of Black people at all. This is the fault of a corporation misappropriating diversity as "add a Black character to everything" in order to try and turn profits. Meanwhile, they defile the culture of the Japanese (Nara Daibutsu, half torii, etc.), despite their "interests" in diversity. This is not *real* diversity, this is just what subtly racist White people think diversity should look like. Also, hello from a fellow Korean.
If they wanted a "fish out of water" character in feudal Japan, they could've based a game around William Adams, an Englishman who became the first European Samurai, and it was during a very interesting time with culture and religious turmoil. But unfortunately he wasn't black so Ubisoft said no
tsk tsk, gotta be black Mr.Adams, come back next time I'm sure some company will turn him black at some point and say it's cannon thank you for watching!
They could also have done a game about Jules Brunet… but like William Adams he was white but French (America already took his story to make it American with Tom Cruise…)
Ghost of Tsushima was so good! The creators also made sure they did their homework and showed great respect. This is why their game was such a hit in Japan.
"there are enemies high on rooftops with ranged weapons" wow so innovative, surely different from the rooftop archers in 1, the rooftop archers in the ezio trilogy, the musketeers from 3 and black flag, etc.
What pisses me off is that they could’ve had BOTH AND technically have a fictional character if they used Hanzo Hattori since Hanzo was a title given to the head of the Iga clan.
let alone a samurai fully armored who runs on the roofs and jumps off them instead. you would probably be killed just by him landing on you at that point.
You both did a great job calling out all the crazy errors that Ubisoft made. Great video and a huge shout out to the young lady for her excellent observation skills (She had her mind's eye activated and didn't miss anything lol).
"The most nit-picky video I've ever seen posted on this subreddit" -Thread from the Ubisoft Subreddit. They are _all_ and I do mean _all_ of them, are trying so desperately to defend this by being dismissive, and it so clearly is not working. It's actually hilarious. Streisand effect baby!
I've noticed an influx of those types of comments, but wonderful comments like yours flush them out like a fart in the wind Thank you for your support, we sincerely appreciate it!
@@DashBlue These people are so painfully ignorant. What burns me the most is how condescending and holier-than-thou they are :/ Keep up the good work man. I'm sure some will try to imply this is a political thing to some degree, as in some "the left likes this" type ish, but no.

The hyper focused nitpicking is hilarious, I take this video as a humorous thing, it's not supposed to be serious. As a portuguese, it's like if a random couple hyper analyzed a open world videogame were the devs mixed portuguese and spanish cultures because most people think we are the same (hell, some people assume tango is spanish lol). I guess this mixing of japanese and chinese cultures is pretty common on western media, they are adjacent, but not the same. It's like saying Canadians + US = same, Brazil + Argentina = same and so on and on. Some people take offense to those kind of stereotypes, but I honestly don't care that much
Egypt bled Netflix for that Cleopatra fiasco. I expect nothing less from our Japanese brothers and sisters. You don't mess with people's culture. Greetings from Turkey.❤
@@DashBlue Hi, nice to see your channel is growing. Come visit Istanbul, I'd be honored to have you as my guests. I also want to visit Japan since I was a little kid. Miyazaki, Kurosawa, and Oda are inspirations to me. I always wanted to see Kyoto and Tokyo. And I love your cuisine as well. Keep on protecting and advertising your true culture. Japanese people are famous for their respect. ❤
The most worrying thing about the trailer is how the devs are speaking so fervently about these duality concepts as if it's not the first time people have done these VERY basic concepts in games for decades, like they have re-invented the wheel or some shit. They are truly living in a bubble.
right, they're basically bragging about things that their previous games didn't have, when they're kind of old news at this point nice to know the features are there, but to make them a major selling point is out of touch thank you for watching!
because they think that any game that isn't made by a Western company isn't good.... How the Ubisoft devs ridiculed Elden Ring and it's open world when it came out.... They literally could of made a joint development with Capcom or Koei Tecmo or something and get actual Japanese devs to work on the game. But nah, that would just be too respectful for Ubisoft.
It's a novelty for Assassins Creed as a seri... oh wait, that London game made it first. I have no idea if that game follows the same cliche of man = strong (UGA BUGA, HULK STRONG), woman = sneaky/smarter/roguish (or whatever). But anyway, I commend Ubisoft for trying to spin the formula a little bit, it's something at least. Back when I still cared (in the Black Flag days, hyped for a future AC Japan), I expected a pure ninja game in Kyoto, like 80% stealth... then a sequel would feature a japanese pirate faction or something, they had a proper name, let me see.... Wako, yep, marauders who attacked the coast and so on, a similar dynamic to black flag, but using piracy cliches from Asia. Then, to complete the trilogy, move to either Korea or China... Korea would be more interesting because their antiquity is not represented on western mainstream media at all. We have a rough idea about China, mainstream media depicted them a lot, but Koreans are completely unknown for me... maybe k-pop interested people to research their history? Anyway, that ship has sailed, Ubisoft is arriving 10+ years too late, 5 years after Ghost of Tsushima, there's no public for this AC Shadows thing
YOOOOOO I knew eventually this would happen!! I called it on one of your first videos on AC shadows that Asmongold should get a hold of this! Btw grats on your sub count! You guys deserve this.

@@DashBlue According to rare historical photos taken in the 19th century in Northen China plains... There were few trees near villages because almost all trees were cut down for fuel. What reversed the deforestation was not modern agriculture, but fossil fuel.
It's great you had fun reviewing it. As a fan of Japanese culture from Europe, I feel this is a complete spitting in the face of Japanese fans. This looks vile..
They may have noticed my comments about the awkwardness of them making the black guy a "brute" type character. They didn't change anything, but they are making sure to SAY that Yasuke is "intelligent". They're just talking because talk is cheaper than dev time
ohh man, this is the funniest video i have seen in a while :D, gotta love all the small details i didnt notice, like when she puts her sword away on her back it isnt really going into the sheath, or the floating doors :D

Also you need to coin the term "Ubishit" xD It's so perfect. Asmongold bought me to this channel and I'm so glad I found you guys, I love your energy ❤
Lol, Cleopatra wasn't from South Africa. How high are you? Ah, Asmongold fan. Figures anyone who watches a dude who willingly lives in filth wouldn't be too bright. Lol at thinking Japanese media haven't made a mockery of Western cultures or been completely false.
@@DavidLane-bd8cm Uh, maybe because Cleopatra was Greek and not Black? And that this is an Afrocentrist documentary that denies the existence of North African natives? No, it's not just Egyptian culture, but also Greek, and if we really want to go there, also Italian, since she's part of Roman history
You know what's really slimy, at 16:08 we see that Buddha statue which isn't allowed but Ubislop is doing it anyways, but back during AC: Unity Ubislop wouldn't use the stained glass art in Notre Dame Cathedral bc the French government would hit them with basically historical copyright, the disrespect Ubisoft is showing to Japan is egregious
I like the first thing a japanese would point out is that the rice fields right to a river would get flooded meaning no rice harvest for the harvest season which is bad since japanese loves their rice
@@MiguelBalarawfilipino here, not that near to what AC Shadows depicted. I’ve seen so many ricefields near rivers or creeks and there is a distance between the ricefields and bodies of water in order to keep the ricefields from getting flooded.
It's not just rice but other crops as well, In india we also don't have crops right next to a river, they're grown at a significant distance or the flowing water just erode the soil away or even flood it.
@@MiguelBalaraw You're correct to point that out. "Rice paddies cannot be next to rivers because they will flood" is total bullshit (you can easily verify this yourself with very basic research, just look at pictures online, or read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_field). Most of the criticism the video makes is petty enough already, but this took the cake for me. This channel just cleverly exploits people's general ignorance for the sake of clicks.

Makes you wonder where the Assassin in a game called *Assassin's Creed.*
that's why i stop play AC after 2 because fighting mechanic is boring no reason to do anything but counter
@@oratankbrotherhood has a cool mechanic where you can chain executions together, allowing you to one shot heavily armoured enemies.
To be fair, AC was never a pure stealth game (I wish it was, I love this genre), there was plenty of combat on it. This game had the chance to be 100% stealth in a cool way, instead, randomly Ubisoft decided Star Wars Outlaws as the stealth game lol who looks at Han Solo and imagine the character sneaking around? Anyway, a pure stealth AC game would felt like a novelty, Splinter Cell open world featuring ninjas, even people who have prejudices towards stealth games (it's a super niched genre, sadly), even these players would be at least curious to fulfill the ninja fantasy as much as possible (including Hitman disguises, as they should be. By the way, Age of Empires 4 of all things have a very cool depiction of ninjas). But it's the usual soulless Ubisoft approach, they include action (and later bloated rpg elements) on a game series about ninjas because they want to attract as much people as possible, so they mix a lot of stuff, trying to make a game for "everyone", in the end the game struggles to execute the multiple concepts. Again, Outlaws is the perfect example, 20 different systems and they all feel subpar, even the cover shooter (the devs specialty, they are the ones who worked on The Division 1 and 2)

I'm not even Japanese. I'm a black dude from Los Angeles. The entirety of my knowledge of Japanese culture comes from anime and video games, but there were certain things I saw in this trailer and the reveal trailer that I saw and was like "Hmm...that doesn't look right..." I noticed the statue thing too and I didn't know that it's not permitted to be depicted in media, I just knew that in anime and games, that exact shrine is usually seen empty and without the statue. For them to use the statue without permission is a scummy thing to do.
Yeah that's pretty damn low. They put no effort.
I gotta ask, if its taboo to depict the statue, who cares? Like how Muslims dont like depicting Muhammad, if its not meant to be insulting then whats the issue? They are trying to depict the setting (horribly for the most part) and immerse you in the culture. Imagine if all the iconography was removed from the first AC games like Islamic and Christian symbols, Crescents and Crosses, Mosques and Churches removed from the setting, how less immersive would it feel.
@@liamgibson8602 Japan asks us to respect their culture nicely while Muslims use violence. I rather change something out of respect rather than fear and see no problem respecting Japanese culture especially since it takes almost nothing away from the end product. AC1 was also handled with much more care and love and they didn't abuse history nearly as much as they do now. Your point would have a little more ground to stand on if Ubi was still making good games and if AC1 was nearly as controversial for depicting something like Muhammad and wasn't just religious fanfiction almost no one had a problem with.
@@TangoMoonStar let’s not generalize everyone as a violent extremist yeah? lol. But yeah, they are violent people over the world and different religions. The way you say it makes it sound broad; some one that’s ignorant might take it the wrong way.

Why the fuck would we want to play as an armoured warrior in an assassin's creed game. The fact that he's also extremely historically inaccurate only adds insult to injury. KUDARAN
I really don't think anyone would have complained if the game was just about a shinobi, at least then they would have enough dev time to realize the sword isn't properly sheathed....I guess they would've missed it anyway
くだらん！(KUDARAN!)
thank you for watching!
From the sounds of it he's not even a warrior. He sounds like a TANK.
@@usonohoshi6165 The assassin that's closest to a fighter/tank pre-Origins is Connor and he's still nimble and stealthy. Ubisoft has proven that we can have a mix of those three fighting styles/classes and still stay true to the series' main gameplay mechanics but no! Just make a whole different class because "diversity of gameplay" or something.
While the actual good Assassin's Creed titles never shied away from open combat, it was usually only when the game forced it on you or because you had screwed up. And the combat could be challenging or tedious, which helped for the theme. You're not a warrior, you're not a soldier, YOU'RE AN ASSASSIN. Your job is to stealthily and discreetly take out targets, so getting into open combat means you failed.
While certainly, mechanics were introduced that let you more easily wipe out enemies (execution streak comes to mind), enemies also had different resistances and abilities that you had to remember and fight around. It made combat more challenging. Now, it's all the same. Parry the enemy unless they glow red, then dodge instead, then unleash your super duper power skill. All enemies are the same, just with more or less health. It's mindless hack and slash where you can solo fight an entire fort of enemies, instead of wanting to stealthily sneak in and by them.
I've literally handicapped myself in AC games from Origins onwards just to not simply speed run through the games by simply yoloing in and wiping everyone out.
@@lmahu6627 But isn't the lack of open fights more accurate? And unique? I recall that even IF you do openly fight and kill in old AC games. It's clearly JUST for fun. Something to do if you want to take a break from doing the main story. You still technically FAIL a mission if you fight like Yasuke.
So it feels like they're treating Yasuke as a JOKE with the way we HAVE to use him as a tank warrior in a game about ASSASSINS. Where it's now MANDATORY to fight in the middle of day- not even a stealth kill just a full on brawl. Kill more than the main target, WHILE surrounded with a bunch of witnesses... and loudly rams through gates. Again... in a game about STEALTH.
Honestly, all they had to do with the play style is be hitman with parkour. It's what made them stand out. If we wanted to just brawl in the open and kill needlessly without focus or any sort of strategy, there's a TON of games out there.
I've worked on roofs here in Japan for more than 20 years , and there's no way they would have made a wooden door on a kawara yane (roof). And actually , if you walk on kawara yane it makes a lot of sound , and break easily if you step on a weak spot so I don't think ninjas or any kind of spy would actually walk on a that type of roof .
Yeah , it's just a game...I'm just nit-picking at this point ^^
thanks for the info!
yeah, we cut it out of the video, but my wife did mention there's no way anybody would be running, let alone doing parkour, on a kawara yane like that lol
thank you for watching!
As someone who identifies as a faulty roof, this was very interesting to me!
Kidding, I like construction though...
@polodhtip6061 yes but mostly in Fantasy setting, i can't name one Japanese game that have real historical European setting. In fantasy setting anything goes dude, no Japanese would protest if the made an Assassin Creed in Fantasy Japanese setting.

you know Ubisoft messed up when a Japanese roof maker came out of the woodwork to point out their mistake
Ah yes! The “ninja” character CLAD COMPLETELY IN BLACK is easily able to sneak around by crawling around on the WHITE SNOW.

If maps are so valuable then would anyone just leave a burning candle on top of the map while no one is even in the room?

Yasuke was Oda Nobunaga's black pet.
Ehh more bodyguard but oda probably saw it that way anyways
@@scarecrowhobo he was more like a glorified baggage carrier
@@scarecrowhobo He was a dick-washing baggage-carrier and holder of umbrellas. He didn't even get to toot like John Blanke did.
It is incredibly unlikely that he was anything even remotely resembling a bodyguard, besides the fact that he'd be expected to throw himself on the swords to protect his master, much like all other retainers. Because that's what he was. A retainer. He likely never even held a sword in anything other than a ceremonial capacity.
Even Hideyoshi Hashiba (before becoming Hideyoshi Toyotomi) called Yasuke a pet too.
@@scarecrowhobo There are no records of him being a bodyguard to my knowledge. He was mostly there to be exotic, given there could be many reasons from Nobunga liking him and considered him a friend to being a punching bag when Oda needed to vent.

I'm a Korean, and while I'm not that well versed in Japanese culture I do know about it due to our countries sharing similar culture based on Confucianism. I didn't complain much when I played Ghost of Tsushima despite being historically wrong because for one the creators claimed it was a fantasy and secondly the game itself blended Samurai culture into the game so well that it didn't matter in the end. I could feel the respect the devs had for Japanese culture and I appreciated it.
Watching AC Shadows trailer made my blood boil and I had to stop myself from making racist comments due to how poor everything was done. It almost made me hate everything about French and Black people due to how disrespecting they were towards asian audiences. I'm glad the world disagrees with Ubisoft and by extension Afrocentrism.
this made me agree with all of the hate for french people. i always thought those memes of them always being hated and made fun of and such were whatever but now i agree with 100% all of them
@@bruh-bn3niif only you knew how much and for how long French people have actually been hoping for Ubisoft to sink
Don't blame Black people for this... did you notice that in the entire video, all of the people talking about the design philosophy of the game are White?
The people who are making the decision to have Yasuke be a main character are certainly mostly White people in upper-level positions. They do not know how to respect Japanese culture, and they do not know better than to try and integrate diversity in a place it does not work.
Imagine how compelling Yasuke might be as a side quest character. He would be an anomaly in the Japanese environment, but you could create a side story that plays off of what we actually know about Yasuke, and what could have been.
This is not the fault of Black people at all. This is the fault of a corporation misappropriating diversity as "add a Black character to everything" in order to try and turn profits. Meanwhile, they defile the culture of the Japanese (Nara Daibutsu, half torii, etc.), despite their "interests" in diversity. This is not *real* diversity, this is just what subtly racist White people think diversity should look like.
Also, hello from a fellow Korean.
The French have a really bad problem with racism. Some of the most racist parts of the U.S. happen to also be former French colonies.
Dont hate black people. They are ignorant. Quite pitiful
You know you messed up when your Japanese wife goes "Eeh?"
If they wanted a "fish out of water" character in feudal Japan, they could've based a game around William Adams, an Englishman who became the first European Samurai, and it was during a very interesting time with culture and religious turmoil.
But unfortunately he wasn't black so Ubisoft said no
tsk tsk, gotta be black Mr.Adams, come back next time
I'm sure some company will turn him black at some point and say it's cannon
thank you for watching!
Next game will have a Japanese African main character
Not only was he not Black - he was White male.
That's a big no-no for Ubi. Unless we are talking about their antagonists.
They could also have done a game about Jules Brunet… but like William Adams he was white but French (America already took his story to make it American with Tom Cruise…)
@@didimean especially English, Assassin's creed games have a special hatred for Englishmen, look at every English character I the series

@@DashBlue glad to be a part of it!
The hyper focused nitpicking is hilarious, I take this video as a humorous thing, it's not supposed to be serious. As a portuguese, it's like if a random couple hyper analyzed a open world videogame were the devs mixed portuguese and spanish cultures because most people think we are the same (hell, some people assume tango is spanish lol). I guess this mixing of japanese and chinese cultures is pretty common on western media, they are adjacent, but not the same. It's like saying Canadians + US = same, Brazil + Argentina = same and so on and on. Some people take offense to those kind of stereotypes, but I honestly don't care that much
Egypt bled Netflix for that Cleopatra fiasco. I expect nothing less from our Japanese brothers and sisters. You don't mess with people's culture. Greetings from Turkey.❤
Welcome to the channel!
We've always beeb interested in Turkey, such a beautiful country and their food is amazing!
Thank you for watching!
@@DashBlue Hi, nice to see your channel is growing. Come visit Istanbul, I'd be honored to have you as my guests. I also want to visit Japan since I was a little kid. Miyazaki, Kurosawa, and Oda are inspirations to me. I always wanted to see Kyoto and Tokyo. And I love your cuisine as well.
Keep on protecting and advertising your true culture. Japanese people are famous for their respect. ❤
Ubisoft thought they cooked with this one. But no… they’re just cooked. 😅
totally overcooked charcoal, lookin like Gandhi's flip flop
thank you for watching!
The most worrying thing about the trailer is how the devs are speaking so fervently about these duality concepts as if it's not the first time people have done these VERY basic concepts in games for decades, like they have re-invented the wheel or some shit. They are truly living in a bubble.
right, they're basically bragging about things that their previous games didn't have, when they're kind of old news at this point
nice to know the features are there, but to make them a major selling point is out of touch
thank you for watching!
@@DashBlue Yep hehe. And cheers, had a good laugh watching 😁
It's almost like they forgot they made Syndicate lol
because they think that any game that isn't made by a Western company isn't good.... How the Ubisoft devs ridiculed Elden Ring and it's open world when it came out.... They literally could of made a joint development with Capcom or Koei Tecmo or something and get actual Japanese devs to work on the game. But nah, that would just be too respectful for Ubisoft.
It's a novelty for Assassins Creed as a seri... oh wait, that London game made it first. I have no idea if that game follows the same cliche of man = strong (UGA BUGA, HULK STRONG), woman = sneaky/smarter/roguish (or whatever). But anyway, I commend Ubisoft for trying to spin the formula a little bit, it's something at least. Back when I still cared (in the Black Flag days, hyped for a future AC Japan), I expected a pure ninja game in Kyoto, like 80% stealth... then a sequel would feature a japanese pirate faction or something, they had a proper name, let me see.... Wako, yep, marauders who attacked the coast and so on, a similar dynamic to black flag, but using piracy cliches from Asia. Then, to complete the trilogy, move to either Korea or China... Korea would be more interesting because their antiquity is not represented on western mainstream media at all. We have a rough idea about China, mainstream media depicted them a lot, but Koreans are completely unknown for me... maybe k-pop interested people to research their history? Anyway, that ship has sailed, Ubisoft is arriving 10+ years too late, 5 years after Ghost of Tsushima, there's no public for this AC Shadows thing
The lady commentating is extremely observant. I'm very impressed how many things she notices
yeah , the other vids on the game is even crazier lol
YOOOOOO I knew eventually this would happen!! I called it on one of your first videos on AC shadows that Asmongold should get a hold of this! Btw grats on your sub count! You guys deserve this. Your stuff is so good, I had a blast when I first found your videos a couple months ago on AC shadows, it had me laughing so hard. Can't wait to see more!!

例えば東大寺に観光客を装って入り360度写真を取りまくってUBIsoft本社にメールで送るのが仕事の人が居て、動画でも指摘されてたように写真を元に本社でモデリングする人が居る。
情報収集専門のスパイのような存在が居た気がしますね、写真と建造物の名前程度の情報を送る人物が
なので仏像や建屋の歴史背景とか何も知らないのでしょう。
弥助が日本に居た時期東大寺は焼失してなかったはずですし、修復作業が始まったのは相当後です。「歴史」専門家なら普通こんな間抜けなミスしないですよ。
どっかのUbiインタビューで実際に日本を訪れて、例えば日本の森はギリシャの森とは全然違うということに気付きゲーム内に反映させた、みたいなこと言ってはずだけどさ・・・ ゲーム動画で見える街・城内に生えてる木とか周辺の森が明らかにおかしいんだよねｗ 当時は集落周辺はあらかた伐採されていて、神社周りや庭の数本以外は灌木がちょっとあるだけでほとんど開けて草原が広がっていたはず。その草原のススキが茅葺屋根の材料になったり肥料として畑に使われたりし、開けた景観は野生動物の接近を妨げ畑を守ったりも。現在の日本の、住居や畑のすぐそばまで森が広がっているのって戦後の植林や人口減少による手入れの無さが原因で昔は全然違うんだけど、そういうことは調べなかったみたいですね。そういう情報もかなりの量の文献があるはずだけどな・・・
まぁ映っている桜の木一本だけで見ても何かおかしい気がしますがｗ
コメントありがとうございます。
戦国時代は人口の多くが農民だったこともあり、かなり開墾されていたと思いますね。あんなちっぽけな田畑じゃ、現代の農耕技術があったとしても食糧難だったと思います。また焼畑農業もしていたと思いますので、休耕地含めると開けた場所であったと思います（あまり詳しくはないですが…）
そうしたことを差し引いても、季節感のなさや、中国みたいな背景は違和感しかないですね。
@@DashBlue 当時は朝夕の煮炊きもすべて薪でしたから、薪を育てて取るための管理された雑木林が多かったはずです。有名どころでは、京都市周辺の山々も寺社の森を別として全部それで、まともな立木はなかったようです。
@@DashBlue According to rare historical photos taken in the 19th century in Northen China plains... There were few trees near villages because almost all trees were cut down for fuel.
What reversed the deforestation was not modern agriculture, but fossil fuel.

「鼻の穴からThomas Lockleyが出てくる」ってのはプログラミング界隈の「定義されていない動作を含むコードを書いて実行するとどんなことがおこるかもわからない、それこそ鼻から悪魔が出てもしかたない」といういわゆる「鼻悪魔」といわれる警句から来ているんだろうな。

厳密には刀の差し方、殆ど間違ってるんですけどね。
弥助の差し方は江戸時代の平服時にしていた閂差しという差し方で、戦国時代でも徒歩兵ならしていますが、その場合は脇差しがもっと体に沿うようして柄がお腹の前にこないといけない。
騎兵なら太刀でも打刀でも反りが上を向く天神差しです。そうしないと鞘の鐺が馬を叩いてしまうし、馬上で反りの小さい打刀を抜くと馬を斬ってしまう。
江戸前期に下級兵士の身支度などを伝聞形式で纏めた雑兵物語などに刀の差し方や扱い方を間違うとどうなるかが失敗談として収録されており、上記の下手くそな上級の武士の話も出てきます。
別に槍と脇差しだけでも良かったんですけど、まぁ、一目でサムライと分かるように立派に見せたかったんでしょう。
また、刀を背負うのは長距離の移動時で長大な物だけでしょう。勿論、忍者も背負いません。理由は簡単で、抜くのも収めるのも大変になるからです。
ですから冒頭の納刀失敗だけは正しいわけです。
コメントありがとうございます。
帯刀の仕方にも色々あるんですね。勉強になりました！
そんな時代から失敗談がまとめられて残っているなんて、日本人らしさを感じますね。
史実の弥助からしたら、下級兵士の帯刀でも、ずいぶんと出世したものでしょう。
冒頭の納刀は約束された失敗ですね…
因みに最新のトレーラーでは甲冑の弥助も刀を背負っているようですよ
茶化し方最高でした😂

watched asmon reacting to this video, had to come here and show some luv. really awesome video.

They may have noticed my comments about the awkwardness of them making the black guy a "brute" type character.
They didn't change anything, but they are making sure to SAY that Yasuke is "intelligent". They're just talking because talk is cheaper than dev time
yeah they're really pushing him being a genius

love your profile pic
ohh man, this is the funniest video i have seen in a while :D, gotta love all the small details i didnt notice, like when she puts her sword away on her back it isnt really going into the sheath, or the floating doors :D
every frame is a gift from our good friends at Ubisoft, they know what we love easter eggs
thank you for watching!
12:30 i like how you and your wife's commentary ended up making Yasuke look like a moron, i didn't even notice that the lock is already on his side and he could've just opened the door like a normal person
Even drunk people has more attention to detail than whatever the flip Ubislop was doing.

As a South African, I'm so tired of the West taking our cultures (like the Cleopatra Netflix} and disrespecting it as well. I'm so sad Japanese culture is being disrespected like this as well.
Also you need to coin the term "Ubishit" xD It's so perfect.
Asmongold bought me to this channel and I'm so glad I found you guys, I love your energy ❤
Lol, Cleopatra wasn't from South Africa. How high are you? Ah, Asmongold fan. Figures anyone who watches a dude who willingly lives in filth wouldn't be too bright.
Lol at thinking Japanese media haven't made a mockery of Western cultures or been completely false.

How does a South African have anything to do with Egyptian culture? That’s like saying an Italian should take offense to Germany misrepresentation
@@DavidLane-bd8cm Uh, maybe because Cleopatra was Greek and not Black? And that this is an Afrocentrist documentary that denies the existence of North African natives? No, it's not just Egyptian culture, but also Greek, and if we really want to go there, also Italian, since she's part of Roman history
@@darkslayer6251 uh, my question still remains and your response is no answer at all

この動画を見て、一年前あるエジプト人が「アサシンクリード オリジンズ」の歴史や文化全般を分析する動画を思い出した。当時ユービーアイソフトの作りこみがしっかりしていで、エジプト人でも文句をつけられるミスがほとんどない、エジプト文化へのリスペックを伝わる。私は中国プレイヤーだから、今の「シャドウズ」を見て、既に中国背景のアサシンクリードを求めていない。
AC is officially dead, I don't think they will ever dare to make another game on any culture.

You both have awesome chemistry together. Very funny watch!
You know what's really slimy, at 16:08 we see that Buddha statue which isn't allowed but Ubislop is doing it anyways, but back during AC: Unity Ubislop wouldn't use the stained glass art in Notre Dame Cathedral bc the French government would hit them with basically historical copyright, the disrespect Ubisoft is showing to Japan is egregious
Is depiction of Japanese Buddhist statues illegal in Japanese law? And if it is, would it affect foreign art projects?
I like the first thing a japanese would point out is that the rice fields right to a river would get flooded
meaning no rice harvest for the harvest season which is bad since japanese loves their rice
米は力だ！
(Rice is power!)
thank you for watching!
Here in the Philippines I do see plenty of rice fields near rivers.
But not THAT near I guess. 😅
@@MiguelBalarawfilipino here, not that near to what AC Shadows depicted. I’ve seen so many ricefields near rivers or creeks and there is a distance between the ricefields and bodies of water in order to keep the ricefields from getting flooded.
It's not just rice but other crops as well, In india we also don't have crops right next to a river, they're grown at a significant distance or the flowing water just erode the soil away or even flood it.
@@MiguelBalaraw You're correct to point that out. "Rice paddies cannot be next to rivers because they will flood" is total bullshit (you can easily verify this yourself with very basic research, just look at pictures online, or read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_field). Most of the criticism the video makes is petty enough already, but this took the cake for me. This channel just cleverly exploits people's general ignorance for the sake of clicks.
