ATTENTION Ubisoft: grown adults don't go on "field trips".
True, look at FromSoftware. The only game devs I trust.
I used to work for a game company and to get the idea for Vietnamese terrain we took field trips to Vietnam to learn the architecture and terrain of the region were in. Adults do indeed go on fieldtrips.
@@Kolljaklet me tell you a secret. THIS GRANDSUN DUDE NEVER WORKED AS A GAMEDEV! he was an IT intern. He literally doesn't know anything other than surface level passerby information.
@@Kolljakbs
@@Kolljak Maybe what he's referring to is that it's supposed to be professional when you go to other countries for business. You don't just go there to have fun.
"if it's not fun, why bother?" - Reginald Fils-Aimé
"I don't play game for realism, I play games to have fun" - Gabe Newell
Nothing's funnier than ubi's bankruptcy game 😂
Which is funny since Half-Life 1 and 2 both pushed the bar on physics and realism in games (for the time at least.)
While also having a gravity gun.
@@twotail612 because for valve realism is just one of the many means used to achieve fun. they're not using realism just for the sake of realism itself.
@@twotail612 yep, but they did it to reinforce the player actions. Which is why a lot of Half Life mechanics are tied to the technology that they're trying to push, like physics or VR. it's never realism for the sake of it, but to make the world more believable
And then Neil Druckmann banned the usage of the word "fun" during the production of TLOUS.
Ubisoft is speed running bankruptcy.
They're exploiting the glitch where you can't keep guns in your inventory and they just get stuck to environment objects.
Sony sees this as a challenge and has accepted.

The troubling thing is contemplating who will buy out the companies releasing propagandistic trash when they inevitably fail.

There's a bible verse for that, bear with me: Matthew 7:18 "A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit"

I have grown comfortable with no buying, nor playing, ubisoft games.
Many others also have done so.
No gaming company is "too big to fail".
Thanks for the advice, Ubisoft. We're comfortable with not owning their games.
I even closesd my account on Ubisoft. I made an account because of the free games on Epic. But after hearing the 'gamers should be comfortable not owning games" quote, I immediately deleted my account. Screw Ubisoft!

"I will ensure the next generation doesn't grow up into failures like you "
That was brilliantly said
I would also like to add that the salary at Ubisoft is the worst I have ever seen. A year ago they offered me (I am an experienced game designer) 50k euros gross in Paris, it was not a joke, no one smiled.
Thank you for sharing this.
What's the average salary for someone with your skills there?
@@Zomesura$10k a month from what I seen. The floor for game development is 5K a month and should go up to you around 20 K a month for the most tenure. Most mid-level should be making $7k to 15k.
@@rudysmith1552 I work in the game industry. 50k is like slightly above the pay of a fresh graduate. For someone with experience, he shouldn't be paid anything less than 70k unless his experience is less than 5 years- especially when you're joining a multi-million dollar company (well, that might not be the case for Ubisoft in a couple of years).
"If they mentions their pronouns or sexual identity as one of their defining traits then they have no other traits" Bro just speak golden facts
Nice

If i see pronouns listed the CV goes right in the bin, I don't want to deal with them
@@elPominator you're a hero
Their entire personality right there
As a Japanese who mainly enjoys western games, I wish that Ubisoft's bankruptcy(hopefully happens soon) will mark the end of the incompetence and ignorance disguised as political ideology and agenda that has plagued Western culture for so long.
Thank you for sharing your perspective here. I felt compelled to write this speech when I saw Ubisoft disrespect Japanese people and history.
Not just that. It'll send every other company a message that if they continue to go down this path they'll go under as well.
@@Just_a_ghost713looks like Sony is next on the chopping block, and as a huge PlayStation fan, I can’t wait for it, and hope it will cause them to go back to Japan and start making more games instead of self indulgent movie games in third person view exclusively.
俺もその通り祈っております。
Ubisoft's past games weren't made by the West, though.
A Far Cry 3 fan, here.
There's a much simpler explanation for why the dev team disrespected your country.
It has to do with the rivalry that your countries have been engaged in since WW2.
Not the rivalry with America that disappeared after the war, but the one that still exists much closer to home.
You apologize in the end, then turn around and stab them with the truth. That is the kindest form a savagery I have ever seen.
love the professionalism :) perfectly said. to add Repuation and integirity also make great games something nmoney cannot buy.
Our generation apologizes for allowing your generation to become so hopelessly effed up and useless. Ayup.
@ 25 sec to avoid to becoming the same kind of faiiure. i rather get kicked and slapped the somebody saying this in your face
Brutal criticism without use any bad words. Sir i applaud you and lot of people can learn from watching this video. You exude absolute class
Thank you for watching and for the support.
That apology was as brutal as an apology can get

Honest this is what these companies need to hear we don’t want this trash any more. People need to start talking with their wallets and continue not buying these trash games.
Their choice of history consultant was both eye opening and a disgusting indicator how seriously they would not be taking this time.
A Japanese American living in Hawaii, who made Shota-con Fujoshi her whole career.
Feel free to grab a pdf of the Chronicles of Lord Nobunaga and CTRL-F “Yasuke”. Wikipedia straight up lies and claims it as a source for Yasuke’s name - it’s not, the real first usage was a 1968 children’s book. There are only two uses of “Yasuke” in Chronicles, both are clearly native Japanese
When nearly everything about a character is fake and pulled from the minds of children’s authors and Jewish “Japanese Historians”, it’s disconcerting how long the Yasuke debate artificially dragged on. There never was a debate, just extremely dishonest liars using incredibly dubious sources as “proof”
To be fair to them, this false historian seemed legid and since Japanese isnt a language many people know, fact-checking him was almost impossible. At some point, you have to trust your experts. But this is a massive L, and this guy misslead the entire Western industry. Even if Ubisoft would apologize and maybe delay the game to clean up this mess, it would cost them millions - millions they've already invested... I mean, not that they would...
@@Leathal What do you mean Jewish?
I'm Japanese and AC Shadows did get my nerve when seemingly innocent Japanese, just happened to be a part of an opposite faction during the feudal Japan, has been chopped and smashed by a foreign brute who has no root or reasons to be there whatsoever to begin with.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
And the worst part, is that for the past 4yrs, Japan has been the only country producing morally clean, uplifting content, or just flat out winners. Godzilla minus one, Freiren, Shogun, Palworld, Elden-Ring, Dragons Dogma 2, Armoured Core, Final Fantasy 7/16 and the list goes on and on!
@@maugweias a gigantic fan of Dragon's Dogma I just want to say that it was woke and full of identity politics. It was also awfully easy for no reason. Capcom did well until DD2.
Would you've preferred if a native did the chopping and smashing? Knowing how brutal and ruthless samurai actually were, that would be a possibility. Of course, the West tends to overly romanticize the samurai and ninja (which were basically just samurai with a different job), so the barbaric nature of the Samurai is not exactly common knowledge. And I wouldn't be surprised if the Japanese government, knowing how much the Japanese like to rewrite and cover up their history, hides it as well.
@@maugweihard disagree on Final Fantasy VII being a huge winner. I will not buy the third release based on my playthroughs of the Remake and Rebirth. I got to chapter 10 in Rebirth and stopped playing as it was too boring, and I've played through the original five times.
Square-Enix has been on a steady decline over the years, and their milking of VII through gacha titles and spinoffs has completely made me lose trust in their philosophy only to name one reason why I don't buy their products anymore.
Hiring based on anything other than merit means you're going to do worse. It's objectively true in every single case.
The suits on, it's about to go down...
Let's have a talk to Ubisoft.
@@sungrandstudioswhat about a talk about GETTING A GRIP. MAN UP. DO SOMETHING other than crying every time that there's a non-white character in a game.
@@diemes5463 "Hi there Ubisoft, have a seat"
He's not mad. He's just disappointed. :(
At least he kept the tie on this time.
If AC Shadows bombs, it will be an amazing achievement from gamers. It's just like my favorite old saying: "once is nothing, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern"
We care more about the games industry than anyone else. This is a fight we will not lose.
since this'll be the fourth time after that trio catastrophe like dustborn, concord and sw outlaws, hence the fourth time is a retardation xD
This is just conjecture but the most braindead consumers buy Ubisoft games, especially Assassin's Creed.
@@panzer00I agree
I believe the successes of wukong and space marine 2, is already a pattern.
They know what we want, they just don't want to make it.
DEI really has killed creativity. People should make whatever they want without having to check boxes to appease these tyrants. When it’s forced, people will notice.
Normal people: Learns from mistakes and improves.
Ubisoft: DOUBLE OR NOTHING
The ending was savage. I love it.
Best apology ever! 😂😂😂
@@RectalPower Totally agree. 🤣
If Ubisoft fails with AssCreed and gets shutdown, we win.
If Ubisoft manages to turn themselves around and put out good content, we still win.
You spelled AssCrud wrong 😉
You mean AssCrust? @@auntykriest
Its a$$wipes creed. I quit buying ubislime games after they pulled the plug on what should've been the next Rainbow Six entry after Vegas 1&2 Patriots back in 2012 but instead we got an oversold feature lacking desperate esports OW clone that had nothing in common with the original Tom Clancy games.
You win? You realize there would be many people loosing their jobs? People who needs to take care of their families and work hard to bring food home? But who cares, at the end of the day, you win 🏆 Talking about what is right and what's not, and have 0 humanity and talking sh*t because of a VIDEOGAME!

As an ethnic minority living in America, it’s great to see others standing up for real art across creative spaces.
Let's make our voices heard.
Ubisoft saw Concord flop and said “hold my DEI checkboxes.”
Not to defend Ubisoft here but by time all this negative publicity started it was far to late to change anything without a massive delay and reworking a huge part of the game,but that really isn't our problem they should of maybe done a slight amount of research on their own about the history of the time period they are basing this on considering this is a very popular setting for anime and manga
watch ubislop losing billions .....Concord 200mil meh, Ubi gonna showoff how to use DEI to lose money😂
Who's this guy? I did not know him 6 min. ago and he just gained my full respect with a single video.
He's been spitting truths and cold, hard facts for a fair few weeks now - he is the Batman of the games industry...
I love the rise of gamers it’s time to back what’s ours from them…
It's always belonged to everyone. They are trying to take it and make it just for them.
@@sungrandstudios You assume incorrectly... They don't want to take what we have for themselves, they don't like what we have... They want to take what we have because they don't want us to have it or anything else that we perceive as good or fun. They want us to have nothing so they can have our attention. That's their end goal.
Gaming distracts and pull us away from them and their agenda. They don't want that. That's why they want to insert their agenda everywhere they can, so we can't escape it no matter where we turn to, be it gaming, movies, shows, books or even music.
That is why we have this culture war going on.
I really like how you handle these videos with professionalism, a level head, and clear language.
Thank you for watching and supporting the videos.
Ubisoft using bots to make the trailer comment look good, please spread the news, their insanity cannot be tolerate anymore
That is actually so sad. Thanks for sharing this.
To spot a bot farm usage, there is usually a pattern with these "games" and their "company". I can cite Concord, Dustborn, Tales of Kenzera, Flintlock and even shows like the Acolyte and Rings of Power. You'll see hundreds to thousands of positive comments with millions of engagements but does not translate to actual sales or viewership.

Ubisoft has resorted to using bots in order to hype up their games its actually pretty sad and pathetic

@@sungrandstudios Heartbroken to see that this is the direction the channel has decided to move in. Ubisoft has been releasing bland garbage for well over a decade. People only care now that they can half-heartedly point to diversity and inclusion.
This man is 99999.9% a RUclipsr.
Just not one who screams every 10 seconds. He’s one worker pointing what those leading the industry have forgotten. Fulfilling the desires of consumers!
Games like Black Myth Wukong and Phantom Blade have and will have my money.
Games that had professionals making a creative gameplay loop. And lore for us who want to get lost in the worlds these artist create.
DEI = DOA. Reject "The Message".
I honestly don't understand developers. If you make a cool game you yourself would want to play, people will play it.
It needs to stop being seen as a business, and more of a digital art. Innovation and creativity is paramount, rehashing the same formula doesn't work for 90% of people who want new interesting experiences
This is a good mentality to have when planning and producing a game.
Well, thats all well and good. But there is one problem.
Far too many developers these days are NOT gamers. They cant make a game they'd play, because they wouldnt play any game.
@@MrDezokokotar Those are the people I would call the ones who get paid. Games are made by gamers. This shouldn't be the other way around. If you let non-gamers make games, that's what you get now. Because they may have the skills, but they don't understand the meaning of it.
I have seen this type of sentiment before and it's something to live by. I remember someone else said something along the lines of "Don't worry about other people hating your games because if you like something there's likely many others who like it also.".
No, developers making games they want to play is a mistake and will lead to bankruptcy. They should be thinking I need to make games that gamers want to play.
Woke up , saw President of Gaming left us another message , excellent.
These people are all part time developers, full time activist. They don't care about ruining games until they lose their jobs and their smooth effing brains finally puts 2 and 2 together.
In 2015, I played my first ubisoft game "Child of Light", it's an RPG game about a young girl's journey to save her father in a fantasy world. It is one of the best games I've played: it has astonishingly beautiful music/graphics/world design and intriging/smart combat system. Usually in RPG games there are some boring quests/annoying enemies encounters that irritates me. But I can say I enjoy every moment when playing child of light. The funny thing is that if if you check the story plots/characters, the game fits exactly the DEI/WOKE agenda. So I just find it so ironic that Ubisoft is able to (or was able to, to be precise) make enjoyable games that actually promotes diversity/"female power" or whatever you would call it.
There is organic diversity, which we have had for decades. Then there is forced, superficial diversity, which is only hurting marginalized people and the various entertainment industries. We can definitely win this fight.
the inspiration came naturally.... now,,,he must be a gay...
@@sungrandstudios Exactly this. From the corporate perspective, its just become a box checking exercise with no real care about actual inclusion, which can result in either boring characters or the most unintentionally stereotypically racist depiction of minorities possible. See the likes of AC shadows, where the combat music for Yasuke is a rap beat for some reason. Not racist at all...
On the other end of the DEI spectrum is people who are so ideologically possessed that they just disguise their activism in the form of a game, sacrificing every ounce of fun in order to serve "the agenda".
Either way this "forced inclusion" has done nothing but harm race relations, which is the opposite of its intention im sure.
That's the thing, diversity has always been present in gaming, it makes stories that much more interesting when the characters aren't an insecure projection, but a curious exploration.
This channel is UNDERRATED, how in the world this channel hasn't reach at least 100K+ subs yet!?
Well he has had some some huge publicity recently via big names like Asmongold reacting to his stuff. His new format is very based and needed so his channel will definitely keep growing.

This man is quickly becoming the internets gold standard of morality. Thank you for speaking truth!
As our good friend Overlord DVD would say "Without Respect, We Reject"
When Ubisoft was putting both male and female main characters in their game it was the perfect balance. Let the audience choose. They had massive success. Then something changed and someone made the decision that it was important to replace men. It felt off. Even with AC shadows there's no excuse for not having a Japanese man and woman. I just don't understand how these decisions get made.
So women characters aren't allowed to exist unless there's a playable male character as well?
@@MagcargoMan they can. Just don't be surprised when your studio gets laid off.
@@MagcargoMan Plenty of games are told from the perspective of a woman. Guess what, women are generally still less than 30% of their audience.

This reminds me of western comics going out of business meanwhile manga becoming very sought after. The western gaming companies are failing, time for the east to rise up and take over the gaming market. The market will sort itself out or the west will cease to be profitable.
And yet, wasn't it Capcom that announced they were going with DEI stuff now? One of those companies.
I fear that this kind of content won't end, even if the east takes over the majority of game development.

No one is buying the whole diversity routine. You do not make great games by hiring staff based on skin colour and sexual identity. You make great games by hiring the right people who love games and gaming.
I’m upset people don’t have issues with those hiring practices, and while yes it will affect the product negatively, it’s literally a raycist policy, like Joseph Goebbels would love it.
Thank you for your sincere statement.
I think DEI is necessary merely as an ideology, but that ideology is no reason to allow it to create low quality and sloppy products.
Above all, UBI insulted Asians while posing as DEI. I will never forgive them.
Remember the times when Ubislop used to create great games: Prince of Persia trilogy, Splinter Cell series, Assassin's Creed 1-Unity, Rayman Origins and Legends, Valiant Hearts?
Thank you for articulating why people are so upset. Games are made to be fun first. If people want to use gaming to "say something" then do it, but make the enjoyment of the player and art style come first.
Well said.
1:41 Oh damn, that statement about lack of confidence was brutal. The truth does hurt.
He sounds like Gus Fring
Everyone in the entire world needs to see this video.
Let's reach the industry and make our voices heard.
If anyone at the Walt Disney Corporation happens to be watching this: You can just exchange "Ubisoft" with "Disney" and the game development focus with entertainment in general.
Ubisoft went from my favorite game developer where I bought and enjoyed all of their games to.. whatever they are now. With their stocks dropping 85% in 5 years, you’d think they’d change back. In the wise words of joker, you get what you deserve.
As someone who is just starting game dev at the age of 29, I will not let my audience down like Ubisoft did. Im here to make fun games, like the ones I grew up with, and not do what people of my generation has done. I also promise to pass on my knowledge to the youth. The dream is to one day open a youth summer camp program for game dev. As someone who grew up poor (and still is), this generation of game devs that have became so politically aware has caused too much damage to the industry, and I take that personally. So Ill join the course correction we all as gamers need.
This is heartening to hear. Excellent. We need developers like you to right the ship. Please do your best, continue to learn and improve, and make some great games for your fellow gamers.
@@sungrandstudios I sure will do my best. We all can't afford to do anything less than that right now!
I salute you sir, brother.
Minor correction, the people you mention are not "politically aware". They are "politically marxist" and activists for the advancement of marxism, whether they understand that or not.
OMFG!! 😨
... THAT ROAST AT THE END WAS SO HOT YOU COULD SEE IT FROM SPACE!! ☠️🔥🌎
Thank you for the considerate avoidance of spoilers. Now there's a good human being.
It turns out giving away power to people who didn't earn it is bad for everyone.
“People make video games, awful people make awful video games” facts!
It's weird seeing a man acting like an adult in 2024. It almost feels like i am watching footage from the past.
That is one heartfelt apology, bravo good sir.
It's one thing for them to say that it wasn't historically accurate to begin with, but to completely disrespect a foreign country (whether its people, culture, etc.), that is an entirely different level altogether. Since we have a lot of info for Ubisoft's upcoming title, it seems to be likely more on the latter.
Yeah. From what I gather, that's a crux of the Japanese complaints. They have no problem with getting really fictional in the historical fiction, but Ubi pushed AC Shadows as being quite historically accurate at the beginning. It made sense, because in the past they've always been pretty good (though that's been sliding a lot since Origins), at least in getting all the little details right. What they've done with AC Shadows is utterly shameful, though.
@@iDEATHdidnt they fuck up in valhalla already? Its just that nordics, afaik, didnt really care
@@iDEATH I think the decline started with the Revolution. Although they tell some history, such as the history of Louis XVI, the history of being sent to the guillotine. But the quality of the game has become worse since the Revolution. The optimization of the Revolution is very poor, the number of bugs is amazing, and there are some terrible judgment problems. Since the Revolution, the game has not been so attractive. After the end of the Ezio line, the second best Edward Kenway line is actually told, which fully tells the changes of the characters. There are signs of distortion since the Revolution, even without the origin. I still don't remember what story the Revolution tells. I just remember that I can use a gun.
@@iDEATHexcept the fact that Yasuke actually existed and his history has been corroborated by an actual Japanese historian
@@joeblack2809 Which historian? While Yasuke definitely did exist, to my knowledge all the "experts" that claimed he was a samurai have essentially been forced to admit that that's opinion only. There's no hard evidence that he was. There's also no hard evidence that he wasn't, but it seems pretty unlikely, and it's much harder, if not impossible, to prove a negative.
As for his history during his time in Japan, I very much doubt that the kinds of things he'll be shown doing will be at all historically accurate. Saving villages and all that? There probably would be some record of that.
Now, don't get me wrong, I've known about Yasuke for decades (I won't claim to be a historian, but I had a huge "samurai & ninja" phase when I was a kid and read every book on them I could get my hands on), and if Ubi got anything right it's that he's a very interesting and mysterious figure. I fully would have expected him in the game in some capacity given when they were setting it. I think they should have made him the Assassin NPC mentoring the Japanese protagonists, personally, like Basim was to Eivor in Valhalla. The Japanese like him a lot too, yet popular sentiment over there seems to be very negative towards AC Shadows. Why do you think that is?
Thing is, no other AC game has ever had a historical figure as the PC. We've _always_ been in the role of someone native to the setting (yes, even ACIV...there were a lot of Welsh pirates in the Caribbean), but as soon as the "woke" idiots and Ubisoft saw a black man they had to jump at the chance. He's a prop to them, a big old virtue signal.
Add on everything else they got wrong, like the floor mats, etiquette, seasons, architecture...the list goes on and on...and it's so shameful and disrespectful. For all the talk from people like the ones who made this game about how important "#Inclusion" and "#Representation" (not the same things as inclusion and representation) are, they sure as hell didn't seem to care enough Japan to represent its people or it's culture very accurately.
I imagine the response would be very different from the "woke" crowd if Ubi had failed this miserably with a game set during the Spanish Conquest and featuring an Aztec warrior as the protagonist (great setup if you want white people to be the baddies). And if they want black protagonists so bad, Africe is a huge place with a rich history all of it's own...I would have loved a AC: Zulu Kingdom game back when Ubi wasn't garbage! Man, that'd would have been awesome.
My grandma always said: "No matter what they tell you in school, Yazuke was a trans-gay-pansexual-real Japanese samurai"..
Everyone listen up. The president of gaming is speaking
"Gamers rise up" went from generic cringe, to an internet meme, to an actually relevant topic. God, I love this timeline. People literally just refusing to buy bad games is having significant and tangible social, economic, and political impact. You're a rebel simply by being a gamer and actively refusing to purchase Concord, Assassin's Creed Shadows, or Star Wars Outlaws. Absolutely glorious.
"They spit in the face of Japan..." truer words have never been said
I usually wait until finishing a video to comment, but dang! That's the tie knot of a man who shouldn't be messed with. Balthus, perhaps? Maybe a rare and ill-advised Quintuple Windsor. Probably not the latter. It's a bit too symmetrical, and... I just made that one up.
It's quite difficult to find these ties that come from the 60s and 70s. It enjoy the challenge of searching for them. It's like hunting for rare loot drops.
@@sungrandstudiosI'll tell you a real challenge. GET A GRIP, MAN UP and GET A REAL JOB that of course is NOT crying on internet every single time that a game has a non-white character on it.
@sungrandstudios I hear ya there! I spend so much time in the junk and second hand shops whenever I'm near one, even the wife doesn't want to go shopping with me 😂 That's where all the best stuff is, though.
Windsor knots are known for their symmetry due to the extra loops, While tripple windsors are rare this may be the worlds first observed windsor 4 (or perhaps a balthus which is more like windosor 2.5 but who's counting).
Im loyal to General Sungrand, Hero of the Concord Wars.
No man is an army alone. We fight together. All of us.
Speaker of truths, seeker of quality, denouncer of false superficial foolishness. Together with Sungrand!!!
Looking at Ubisoft's lifetime stock on Google to me paints a clear picture. They were always down in the gutter until 2014, when the published South Park The Stick of Truth and released Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Their stock grew for a year only to start to dip again, but then in 2017 they published The Fractured But Whole, and in 2018 they released Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Farcry 5, what I understand to at least be considered good. And of course in 2019 the released The Division 2.
Basically, for 3 years that had some solid released. Stock started to dip again but then the pandemic happened, which rose it again. Granted that was like, every gaming company I think. And now with all that over, and Ubisoft back to releasing trash, yeah it's going down once more, and hard.
This feels more like an equalizing. They had some peaks which were uncharacteristic of them, and now they're heading back down. It's like when you completely guess on tests and then 2 times you guess right to like a 90. They learned nothing and are continuing to guess, and are back to failing. I'm not surprised, I've never heard anyone talk good on Ubisoft ever, even when they peaked in stock.
Watch Dogs 2 was good as well, you can see that reflected in their 2016 stock increase
In the early days, the development department had more independence. So they could make games like Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Prince of Persia. But as things got worse, it became irreversible. Because they took away all the power of the studio and felt so powerful.
@@terrypennington2519WD2 was about as exciting as taking a dump, you play as a hipster, in a gang of hipsters, and your weapon of choice is a mutherf****** yo-yo, other than that it was another Ubisoft open world game. See how it was a financial failure?
Thanks for delivering such an accurate and important message to the industry in such a clear and professional manner
Fantastic video that will be ignored by all those who need most to hear it.
share this mans videos everywhere
Please keep doing these videos bro. Seriously you make me sad every time you say “ you’re not a RUclipsr”. I understand you wanting to be humble in this space, but you are doing something that clearly is needed. Your voice is absolutely what we need right now. It’s one thing for us to CUSS out on these fools on Twitter, but having someone in the industry who can articulate what we’re saying in a way that doesn’t sound barbaric, I like it. I need you to keep dunking on these fools. You may not be a RUclipsr, but you are definitely a voice that our community needs right now.
I appreciate this well articulated message. I will do what I can to help the voices of my fellow gamers be heard. My goal is to make fun games for people, but I understand I have a responsibility in these kinds of situations. Thank you for reaching out. I will do my best.
@@sungrandstudios Subbed.. Continue to be our voice Please!
"This game isnt for you"
"okay, we wont buy it then"
"Whys no one buying our slop???? Peoples livelyhoods are at stake here!!!"
I can't remember the last time I could call out a game or movie on their BS for disrespecting IPs or history with "diversity" without getting flagged as a racist/bigot/homophobe. It's good that people are no longer blind and such times are coming back.
Isn't it weird how the left thinks that design by the suits rather than the creative people at a studio is such a big problem, but then they go and hire a consulting agency to come and rewrite all the work of their creative people. It's a trip as our situation.
The absolute state of the video game industry
never have I seen Ubisoft get dunked on so eloquently.
Clean, clear, honest. They could save themselves by listening, but they will not. Their narcissistic team will label him and victim empower themselves without thought.
It's amazing seeing the AC Shadows defend the game. They're ignoring every piece of criticism there is and use the same excuse of "it's not for you!" or "just don't buy it!".
Then they are shocked when people listen to them and their games sell horribly. 😂
And after it doesn't sell well, they'll complain and call everyone bigots for not buying it. Same with the gaming journalists, at least until it's safe to write actual critical articles, but still heavily defend the game/devs. It's pathetic. These people run on contradictions and hope that the world will work the way they want, but reality is often disappointing. Maybe they'll reflect when they are stuck working minimum wage jobs. If they were smart, they'd go make their own games, but they are also creatively bankrupt. There is no hope for them.
It's a really disappointing thing all around. I was hoping for an AC set in Japan for a decade, and now Shadows is what we get and I'm honestly not even interested because it looks so bad. Don't even have to make myself not buy it.
@@afvpegknight Then, blame gamers with -ist, -ism, or, -phobes while screaming "GAAAEEEMMMEEERRRGATEEEEE" over and over. Also, repeat cycle 😂
It's made by a generation of devs who have never been told no once in their life, were never truly challenged in any way and were rewarded constantly no matter how badly they suck at somthing. They have never matured emotionally beyond 12 years old as a result, so the only go-to reaction to someone criticizing them is lash out violently. This is what you get as a result of eliminating discipline and competition from children's development. Good job with your kids Gen X.
Bro that apology was something else. A raw, unfiltered dose of reality.
What an absolute boss!
This gentleman puts out the vibes that classic developers once had. I've been looking over his channel and content and listening to his take on various gaming topics and this one was just powerful!
Hearing his speeches and takes feels like the days when we had developers who CARED about their craft instead of an agenda and eyes on harvesting revenue with minimal effort.
THIS is what we need in the industry- More of this guy and those like him....And less in purple haired future cat ladies and emotionally confused individuals who despise the very industry they are working for.....
Recently, they "woked" the art of legendary Akira Toriyama by changing images, and who knows what else these "consultants" have tampered with that has yet to be seen in the upcoming DQ3 remake. This is disrespectful, especially so soon after his passing. He would have NEVER signed off on this woke stuff imo.
Similarly Yoshitaka Murayama, the creator of Konami's fan-favorite RPG series Suikoden and the head of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes studio Rabbit & Bear Studios, has passed away on Feburary 6 at the age of 54 (My age as well. Depressing) and they IMMEDIATELY set about altering his work to "appeal to the modern audience". An audience that does NOT exist. From all I have seen of the late great Murayama, he loved the games and the artform and could care LESS about politics or checking boxes. And they disrespectfully tarnished his legacy anyways. Thankfully it was subtle enough, and their was enough of Murayama's essence in the final product that it didnt become a disaster....But it easily could have, if they would have had more time to tamper.
If something drastic doesn't change, these unhinged radicals are going to drive this industry straight into the ground.
There are old series I would love to see get a revival, but ONLY if they are true to the spirit of their creators and honor the memories of those we lost along the way who had the vision in the first place.
The only thing that bothers me is that most people treat AC:Shadows as spit into face for Japanese but AC:Valhalla for portraying vikings in the most inaccurate and ridiculous way is ok to them
The problem is ubisoft and the ac team multiple times claimed yazuke was big historical figure and that the game would be one of the most historical accurate games they made to date . The only source of Yazuke is from a "historian" Called Thomas Lockley. He is literlly the author of the wikipedia page of yazuke. He does not have any real proof that yazuke was a samurai. I dont think a lot of people would care if ubisoft didnt try to be historically accurate with this AC game
.
It's ok to be White.
Its a shame that all these big companies somehow find a way to ruin all the game franchise I loved growing up. I really hate seeing the corpse of something I love being gutted and set on fire and know there is nothing I can do about it other than not play the game.
Same. I feel the exact same way. Let's plan for the future so this doesn't keep happening.
Independent creators are the last bastion for true creativity. This applies to any medium, be it film, comics, television, and video games. Of course there will always be exceptions to this rule, but in general, this is where we are now. I'd rather give my money to independent creators that strive to produce good products, usually labors of love. I'm done with the "corporatized" entertainment community. You know, the ones that make trash, and then turn around and blame/attack the audience/consumer when it inevitably fails. It's just pure insanity at this point.
Well said.
Truth is, you have nothing to apologize for. Your generation have done well to train and teach, sometimes it's the younger generations that want to have their own way or too scared to speak up out of fear for retaliation.
Edit: PS; as a student, you should not fear of teachers who scold you, because they at least had the best interest of their students in mind. It's teachers who abandon their students that makes it deadlier, because at that point, the students are not worth their time to help. Your closing line at the end of the video radiates the image of a disappointed teacher who gave up on his students after seeing how far they had fallen.
Safe is not important. What makes a story important? Drama, discord, struggle, strong emotions, danger, overcoming the impossible. Now try to add these all up in a "safe space".
4:53 Hardest apology in gaming history
"I'm sorry that you're failures." Damn. That's cold.
Where was this fake outrage when Nioh 1 & 2 released?
Can you elaborate?
I've never played Nioh, but I thought it was never marketed as being historically accurate.
Am I wrong?
Cause Nioh developer didn't do anything to pissed people off? Use your brain before defending ubislop.
None, because these people don't play videogames and just fake outrage.
@@Vladislav888but they called Yasuke the Obsidian Samurai. Think about the kids! They are DELETING THEIR HISTORY.
@@Vladislav888 His point was pretty obvious, which is that you were all conveniently fine with playing as a white dude in Feudal Japan.
I am 100% sure, if AssCreed Shadows bombs, they'll blame the "players", because accountability is their kryptonite. This "never my failure" is the main reason why triple-A games nowadays are mostly garbage: because such mentality means they don't want to learn from their mistakes, thinking that they're infallible, thinking that their flopped garbage is flopped not because of their incompetence, but the consumers is to blame for that. And so, they make another flopped garbage again, and again and again, never learning from each failure, over and over
Did I ever tell you the definition of "Insanity"?
You summarized all the problems not only gaming but all media industries have in 6 mimutes. Good work. For the emperor!
