What I am hearing from Ubisoft isn't an apology, it's basically trying to explain to the Japanese people why they are wrong to be offended. About a game. Set in Japan. That screws with their heritage. And gets loads of things wrong. They are saying "no sorry offended Japanese people, you don't get to be offended because we did our research." Just wow!
I'm glad my countries AC game (Syndicate) came before all this woke nonsense. If it was made today, half the cast on London would be black in the 1860s

@@ThanhTran-ks8rd "I dont care what anyone tells you, Cleopatra was a black women" The funniest piece of mary sue, self-insert fanfiction I have ever seen from Will Smith's ex wife. I love how they took a heavily imbred Greek women and made her black.
What's odd is nobody in their entire studio stopped to think that having an "assassin" be the only black guy in the entire country makes absolutely zero sense. If anyone sees him commit any crimes they now know the only black guy in the country is an assassin. I guess we are supposed to just ignore that fact and everything else that doesn't make sense? The coping on social media and from Ubisoft is legit Olympic level. Let me guess because it's a game it's not supposed to make sense? Truly a game of all time this will be.
Beside is so racist... the only black guy in japan and kill japanese people in a brutal fashion. Is insulting. Yasuke dont even fight like a samurai, he fight more like a hulk or a killing machine than a honorable samurai. What a joke.

@@ChiSoxsFan4Life Just be careful - I've seen it dip into the high teens and then there will be a buying surge (likely Blackrock or Vanguard stepping in to not let it drop too low), it'll move back up into the 20s and then sink again into the teens as more investors divest their portfolios.

yasuke may not be an samurai but he's an hero for uniting nations to stand against ubisoft and thomas lockley ''fanfiction'' that aims to be changing history.
It's a really simple thing to consider. Why, of all the AC titles did they choose THIS ONE to have a real historical person as the main character? It's obvious as hell. Step 1: They were told "the main character HAS to be black." Step 2: Someone reasonable said "how does that work, there were no black people in Japan then, it makes no sense." That person was probably fired. Step 3: They scoured the internet looking for some historian hack who mentioned ONE black person in all of Japan then. Step 4: They realised there was zero case for having black characters unless it was literally that one single example they could point at to say "look, you can't say there weren't because he was here." If they could have justified a black main character in ANY OTHER WAY, it wouldn't be a real figure from history, however twisted and altered they've made him.
Funny how they now acknowledge him being a Samurai is "up for debate" wherein like a week ago they were calling anyone who said he wasn't a Samurai "hateful bigots".
@@TrackMediaOnly they also conceded that this is "historical fiction" rather than "historically accurate" which they have to do now for damage control since a lot of other problems are appearing.
Ubislop is in for a rude awakening when Star Wars outlaws lose money, and they are getting a lot of heat for shadows for disrespecting Japan, and they deserve it because they did it to themselves.
Why can't western games just make good games WITHOUT DEI?! Is it any wonder American games are below zero in sales, and Japanese and Korean games are smash hits? Oh, and Ubisoft just isseuec a non apology. No surprise!
@@EndymionTv as for Star Wars, I often watch Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic trailers just to remind myself this is what the franchise could've been. If only Lucas can buy it back and license it to true fans to make movie games.
It's like they are saying "Yes we're sorry about the fictional retelling of your history. Still, we will continue retelling your history based on historical fiction, written by someone who hates your actual history. Enjoy!"
They even manage to be racist against Yasuke too, they’re treating him in death as they did in life by parading him around just because he’s black. And they present him as dishonorable as well, if he was a Samurai, shouldn't he have killed himself when Nobunaga died?
Man, remember when Ubisoft actually cared about relatively accurate history? So much so that the model of Notre Dame in Unity was used to help rebuild the actual Notre Dame when it caught fire a few years ago. Can we go back to those days?
@@jonbaxter2254 In all the AC games, Venice is still probably one of my favorite locations - the roaming music, architecture and everything about it just fking awesome. AC2 is one of my favorite games ever made.
I dont understand what was so fucking hard about this. It was the easiest grab to make. Just make the most anticipated setting of Japan with Japanese protagonists. But no, they chose the ONE black guy and a female shinobi. All they had to do was NOT go the DEI route, and they fumbled. Fools.
It's a tactic. They know their games are irrelevant so they do that to spike up some controversy. And they succeded. Many many people are going to buy this game.
Because they never cared for japanese culture until they found the token black guy. Say more how little respect ubisoft have for japan aa a whole that they choose to make a game where the only black guy in japan just kill them happily with hip hop music.
What Yasuke was in history: A black man used for entertainment in Japan. What entertainment industry used him for: A black man who made history in Japan.
I'm curious what the real Oda Nobunaga would think if he could see the controversy caused by a single retainer Doubt he ever imagined Yasuke would have the impact he did centuries later
@@lam7499 Guess he would step out of his grave and make a crusade against the woke cults. I can imagine in ancient times Japan was even more proud of its culture.
I could still remember that back then, when they just about to be done with ezio story, they said making AC game based on Japan as unattractive because games based on that era is already saturated as it is. ( along with WW2 era and i forgot the 3rd one. rome, egypt, or china maybe? ). This time they reiterated that they want to trigger people's curiosity to explore the said era. But considering the millenia of choice they can choose from , they choose the years of which is already been explored way too much by the media. Like, oda's years? come on... That's like saying, "we want to explore more about world war 2", then make another normandy game.
"....the representation on Yasuke in our game is an illustration of this. His unique and mysterious life made him an ideal candidate to tell an Assasin's Creed story with the setting of feudal Japan as a backdrop...." They should be honest and say: "He was an ideal candidate to push our blatant race/gender/sexuality ideologies..."
@@EndymionTv Pulled directly from the thread: /r/AskHistorians/comments/1css0ye/was_yasuke_a_samurai/ "EDIT: I'm adding an explanation because people are misinterpreting this post.

@@NeverForget1776 Oh, I wasn't surprised at all, but it takes a real level of hubris to do it today when even a google translate can show just how different the "apologies" are let alone a true translation.
They also keep using the term "historical fiction". There's no such thing. It's either or. That's like saying "alternative facts". Fuck Ubisoft and their wannabe Maoist nonsense.
the crazy thing is people have such disrespect for the time and training put into being a samurai warrior that they think its possible for a guy to be in Japan a few year and become one of the best Samurai warrior in the land..
I think westerners ride too much japanese folklore c ck. There were traitors and cowards too, do you really think every single one of them " oh so loyal and wonderful " samurai decided, welp my lord is dead, I should end myself ? Of course not silly. People watched too much Keanu Reeves and had this glamorous idea of samurais. Did you know that during big battles generals gave away or abandonned their helmets and fled combat so people thought they died in battle? People who retrieved those helmets could claim bounties and get fame and money for " killing" famous and important generals. So yeah, samurais can be scum too. That yasuke sht though... total bs.
They can have all the "creative freedom" they want if they use a FICTIONAL CHARACTER. But they've been telling EVERYBODY that "Yasuke totally existed and was totally a samurai, we swear!"
It was more: "Yasuke totally existed and was totally as samurai, we sear. You racist bigot." Because if we question anything they are never wrong, we are all just racist bigots.
@@jockpackage1770yet.. but even that apology video would be riddled with DEI and host a body positive, trans-gender, alphabet community pronoun positive thing on a bear-skin rug with blue hair..
All Samurai were retainers (goverment employees) But not all retainers were Samurai, some were librarians, some jesters, some were sex and wine providers, in the case of Yasuke and others in service of Nobunaga, some were pets and amusements (Nobunaga and Mitsuhide's own words from the texts)
Basically Ubisoft is saying they're not rac!st because they put a black man as a samurai in feudal Japan. Look, we made a black man as the hero! This is SOP of rac!st people trying to say they're not rac!st by hiding behind black people! 😡
1:24 I wouldn’t be surprised if ubisofts DEI division sent out a letter that said “to our so called fans in Japan who are butt hurt… get over it you far right bigots.” And stood by their statements even if they were permanently banned from doing any business with Japan.
Now imagine this: A fan decides to make a mod altering Yasuke's model to that of another historical character, only fully Japanese, then another, altering the music to one more fitting the setting. 100% that sites like nexus mods would ban it. Band of hypocrites...
You are correct, but think about it if you were in her position and the situation was just as bad would u answer any question that makes it seem even worse than already is Just a thought, not a criticism

Her lack of accountability is very strange considering her position. I had very little conspiracy vibes before her hearing but now it seems like she was playing her part. In all actuality she’s probably just massively incompetent but she sure got into a strange position with that incompetence. ??
The funniest irony is every western gaming consultant look to Thomas Lockley' s fan fiction book of Yasuke as credible source for Japanese history and Lockley is still hiding from the internet. The Japanese called him out for him not being an historian but a English professor.
I'm on a Reddit that has been discussing this whole thing. What's funny is the people defending this game are dismissing this who game as a work of fiction. What's worse is that I have explained to them the whole gravity of the situation and they still are acting dismissive of the whole situation. For once I now understand all the sayings about arguing with idiots and being impossible to win those arguments.
Why don't we have Viking gods protecting the samurai? Why don't we have guns instead of katanas, modern clothes, cars, or cell phones in the game? It's just a work of fiction...
@@saracchi1515not all of it, it’s good for certain things. There is a sub Reddit for everything. That’s just like me saying the same for RUclips, when in reality anyone and everyone is on both platforms.
Ubisoft lies would send a precedent and encourage people to fight back against story deformation. The false Cleopatra from Netflix was the small egg for the breakfast. Ass-creed Shadows is the big lunch of awakening for the common people against misinformation.
Yasuke could've easily just been a NPC quest giver that gives the player information that only someone in his unique position would have. Give him a couple of cool moments in cutscenes, but nothing spectacular and he'd be infinitely less controversial and people would be encouraged more to Google him and learn more about him instead of Googling him to prove how wrong Ubisoft is. They could've easily had their 'minority' character quota filled without putting Yasuke in the forefront
That's actually a great idea. I have always thought that instead of putting someone who is not even a samurai, or even an assassin, should be given the main role in a series set in a Japan. Moreover, that guy is not even Japanese. There are so many other candidates that is both cool and is representative of that era. Not some random black dude who most Japanese people have not even heard about. If Ubisoft really cared about historical accuracy, but also wanted to put a fictionalized character as the main character of the game, then they should have made their main character one of the Saika Ikki. A real mercenary group/hired assassins that are mostly unnamed, and acted around the same time.
There is a real western historical equivalent to what Yasuke really was. European courts would often have dwarves in them. The dwarves were well dressed and fed and had a good quality of life, but they were there to entertain the guests because of the "uniqueness" to put it politely. The same can be said for Yasuke and Nobunaga. Honestly, if anyone bothered to just use a little bit of reason in looking at this they would see the idea of him being a "samurai" wasn't even possible. Yasuke was only with Nobunaga for 2 years or so. That is not enough time to effectively learn how to use a katana, let alone step onto a battlefield with one. The whole premise is faulty, but too many people don't bother thinking through things rationally anymore.
@@ChefBoyR.D. Good lord, only YOU and those that think like you, care that he's black. In fact, you care more about the fact he's black than you care to represent the life the man actually had to live. Frankly, I find it more insulting to try and erase the real history the real man had to suffer through as a slave and property and pretend he was actually some noble hero. That insults him and everyone like him that had to suffer through history AND today, regardless of their skin color, and it does them no favors to pretend he was something he was not.
Thomas Lockley was criticized by a bunch of historians about three years ago for his book. You know the one. It’s full of speculation portrayed as facts. I have to thank Ubisoft for this because if they hadn’t made Yasuke a protagonist, most people wouldn’t have known about Thomas Lockley’s bogus claims about Yasuke, exposing every fraud in the industry. Also, sword bearers don’t go out and fight, they stay in the camp. Also, there is no mention of Yasuke receiving martial arts or katana training. Lastly, if he were this “honorable samurai,” he would have had to commit Harakiri (Seppuku) because it’s part of the samurai code (Bushido). You’re not an honorable samurai if you don’t follow Bushido.
Basically the game is a bunch of french larping they are a black dude killing japanese people. There is no honor or respect the way yasuke fight he fight like a hulk or a bully just smashing them in the most brutal way. This look more like a frustrated fantasy of french devs than a game about a honorable "samurai"
They're not sorry, and Japan is not accepting the apology. They are going to be sued for insulting Japan and falsifying it's history just to bolster this game
Ezio trailer in the background at the end, thank you. 👍🏻🔥 Those games were just incredible and I still play them more than like the last three new AC out today.
And they didn't say they were wrong. They said Yasuke was a debatable, mysterious figure which created opportunities for historical fiction which is normal for this franchise.
They can’t claim they did any historic research. The Shinobi weren't their own fighter class. There were Samurai, which is a rank, who did assassinations or spy work, therefor they took on the job of a Shinobi. So exactly the opposite of what he is saying. Also a Samurai wouldn't walk through town in his battlefield armor. And Iga wasn't a secret, hidden village in the mountains, but an important and well known center of commerce with a lot of trade routes. There were no Ninja training in the Himalayas, that's from Batman for heaven's sake.
"Extensively researched" - getting the most basic things wrong, like putting a torii at the entrance of a village instead of a shrine, mixing seasons like nobody's business.... Even I could point out those as stupid with my very surface level knowledge of Japan! And let's not even talk about how they use pictures of objects from AliExpress and Amazon. "Respectful depiction" - stealing imagery from the anime One Piece, stealing imagery from an actually existing historical re-enacment group from Japan, using imagery of cultural properties that can't be replicated without permission.... Yeah, I can feel the care and respect they put into this game.
New Star Wars protagonist with a fox-lizard for a pet. New Flintlock protagonist with a fox lizard for a pet. Almost like both games talked to the same consultant.
@@minespatch Hah! Really? It's almost like they're an entire organization of talentless people taking from real creators, while coercing them into making unoriginal changes.
Japan's 2 cities Atomic Bombed by US in response of Pearl Harbor,forgiveness after WW2, became an important US Ally in response of USSR during Cold War,gained respect from US thanks to Anime like Akira Toriyama & this is how Ubisoft respects their History?
Don't forget Godzilla. This predated Goku, along with Atom (Astro Boy in west). Goku ripped from chinese myth to be fair. From Software created the whole Souls-like genre too. Ubisoft is shameless.
"Revenge is a meal best served cold." - Denzel Washington Them low sales figs are cold, very cold...and that's what you get wokies...eat that, Ubisoft!
- The Godfather, 1972: Don Corleone nodded. “Revenge is a dish that tastes best when it is cold,” he said. - Star Trek II, The Wrath of Kahn, 1982: Kirk, old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb, “Revenge is a dish best served cold”?
If they were actually sorry they’d have listened and stopped making this game and remake it with actual Japanese Historic content. We all know that’s not gonna happen, and they even said they’re still going to release this game anyway 😂
How does Ubisoft not understand that ALLLLLLLL they have to do is listen to their fans? For an entire DECADE we’ve been saying we wanted a realistic, historically accurate, AC narrative set in Japan. Nobody, absolutely nobody asked for the woke DEI agenda to be thrown in with it. When will Ubisoft realize that their fans have laid out the PERFECT blueprint & road map to success all over the internet, all they had to do was listen.
Ubisoft: We're gonna add a black samurai in assassin's creed. Me: Ok, well there was one back in medieval Japan. Ubisoft: ... Also he's gay. Me: Now, you're just trying to get push a agenda now.
Well it's plain old historical revisionism they were doing in the west for a decade now. Being in a game only because it's more popular than actual history books. It's only more effective this way. I have a favorite quote about that by some CIA director. "We'll know our disinformation campaign is complete when everything the American public believes is false." - now people would downplay it and say "it's just a game" but it's also a piece of work with real cultural influence on young people. The perfect vehicle for someone who wants to do any real damage and erase or rewrite actual real memory. The professional managerial class needs subjects without any real memory to guide them. Monkeys smart enough to run the machinery and dumb enough not to ask important questions.
The fact that they got the environment of Japan wrong speaks volumes to the downfall of the studio, Ubisoft ac environments used to be 1/1 recreations (or the best of what we know) like the notre dame cathedral of the historical settings now they can’t even get the seasons and buildings right.
I don't see how the Wokes can't see it. Like they said, this series is TWENTY years old, and the ONE TIME they do Japan, they screw over Japanese males. I'd be feel pretty damn let down. I'm of Italian descent, I LIKE that Ezio is Italian. I don't think I'd lose my shit, but he'd be less cool in that game if he was some outsider. Ezio had his roots as motivation in those games. So, ALL those places got a native dude to play as in those games over twenty years, but Japan doesn't. It's like I always say, Wokes REALLY HATE Asian men. Like, they REALLY do not like them.
Nobunaga payed sumo wrestlers to come hang out with him and he gave them swords and plots of land?! That would make a MUCH more awesome game then Shadows!😲
@@TrackMediaOnly lol yeah, but tbf, being a black person in Japan on that period won't do a stealth game play any better either. What are you gonna do? blend with the crowds? 😆

It's a really simple thing to consider. Why, of all the AC titles did they choose THIS ONE to have a real historical person as the main character? It's obvious as hell.
Step 1: They were told "the main character HAS to be black."
Step 2: Someone reasonable said "how does that work, there were no black people in Japan then, it makes no sense." That person was probably fired.
Step 3: They scoured the internet looking for some historian hack who mentioned ONE black person in all of Japan then.
Step 4: They realised there was zero case for having black characters unless it was literally that one single example they could point at to say "look, you can't say there weren't because he was here."
If they could have justified a black main character in ANY OTHER WAY, it wouldn't be a real figure from history, however twisted and altered they've made him.

I dont understand what was so fucking hard about this. It was the easiest grab to make. Just make the most anticipated setting of Japan with Japanese protagonists. But no, they chose the ONE black guy and a female shinobi. All they had to do was NOT go the DEI route, and they fumbled. Fools.
*cough DEI, and their consultant for investment. *cough.
It was already diverse with it being set in Japan.
It's a tactic. They know their games are irrelevant so they do that to spike up some controversy. And they succeded. Many many people are going to buy this game.
Because they never cared for japanese culture until they found the token black guy. Say more how little respect ubisoft have for japan aa a whole that they choose to make a game where the only black guy in japan just kill them happily with hip hop music.
What Yasuke was in history: A black man used for entertainment in Japan. What entertainment industry used him for: A black man who made history in Japan.

I could still remember that back then, when they just about to be done with ezio story, they said making AC game based on Japan as unattractive because games based on that era is already saturated as it is. ( along with WW2 era and i forgot the 3rd one. rome, egypt, or china maybe? ).
This time they reiterated that they want to trigger people's curiosity to explore the said era. But considering the millenia of choice they can choose from , they choose the years of which is already been explored way too much by the media.
Like, oda's years? come on... That's like saying, "we want to explore more about world war 2", then make another normandy game.
"....the representation on Yasuke in our game is an illustration of this. His unique and mysterious life made him an ideal candidate to tell an Assasin's Creed story with the setting of feudal Japan as a backdrop...."
They should be honest and say: "He was an ideal candidate to push our blatant race/gender/sexuality ideologies..."

I think westerners ride too much japanese folklore c ck. There were traitors and cowards too, do you really think every single one of them " oh so loyal and wonderful " samurai decided, welp my lord is dead, I should end myself ? Of course not silly. People watched too much Keanu Reeves and had this glamorous idea of samurais. Did you know that during big battles generals gave away or abandonned their helmets and fled combat so people thought they died in battle? People who retrieved those helmets could claim bounties and get fame and money for " killing" famous and important generals. So yeah, samurais can be scum too. That yasuke sht though... total bs.
After TWO of his lords committed seppuku. Both Oda Nobunaga and his son did.

43 year old here. You're killing it man. Keep it up and thank you.
A black guy attacking asians? You can't claim Ubisoft didn't try to make the most realistic game ever.
Yasuke could've easily just been a NPC quest giver that gives the player information that only someone in his unique position would have. Give him a couple of cool moments in cutscenes, but nothing spectacular and he'd be infinitely less controversial and people would be encouraged more to Google him and learn more about him instead of Googling him to prove how wrong Ubisoft is. They could've easily had their 'minority' character quota filled without putting Yasuke in the forefront
Given the other protagonist is gender swapped on top they were really pushing for that quota.
That's actually a great idea. I have always thought that instead of putting someone who is not even a samurai, or even an assassin, should be given the main role in a series set in a Japan. Moreover, that guy is not even Japanese. There are so many other candidates that is both cool and is representative of that era. Not some random black dude who most Japanese people have not even heard about.
If Ubisoft really cared about historical accuracy, but also wanted to put a fictionalized character as the main character of the game, then they should have made their main character one of the Saika Ikki. A real mercenary group/hired assassins that are mostly unnamed, and acted around the same time.
@@FrenchDinosaurthere is literally a japanese character and yasuke isnt real. Its a character
Ubisoft acts like women during cheating. They are crying because they got caught.
Then blame you for not giving them the attention you "owe" them. 😂
There is a real western historical equivalent to what Yasuke really was. European courts would often have dwarves in them. The dwarves were well dressed and fed and had a good quality of life, but they were there to entertain the guests because of the "uniqueness" to put it politely. The same can be said for Yasuke and Nobunaga.
Honestly, if anyone bothered to just use a little bit of reason in looking at this they would see the idea of him being a "samurai" wasn't even possible. Yasuke was only with Nobunaga for 2 years or so. That is not enough time to effectively learn how to use a katana, let alone step onto a battlefield with one. The whole premise is faulty, but too many people don't bother thinking through things rationally anymore.
People would not be this outraged about a dwarf or a jester being potrayed as a knight. This is only a problem because Yasuke was black

Thomas Lockley was criticized by a bunch of historians about three years ago for his book. You know the one. It’s full of speculation portrayed as facts. I have to thank Ubisoft for this because if they hadn’t made Yasuke a protagonist, most people wouldn’t have known about Thomas Lockley’s bogus claims about Yasuke, exposing every fraud in the industry. Also, sword bearers don’t go out and fight, they stay in the camp. Also, there is no mention of Yasuke receiving martial arts or katana training. Lastly, if he were this “honorable samurai,” he would have had to commit Harakiri (Seppuku) because it’s part of the samurai code (Bushido). You’re not an honorable samurai if you don’t follow Bushido.
Basically the game is a bunch of french larping they are a black dude killing japanese people.
There is no honor or respect the way yasuke fight he fight like a hulk or a bully just smashing them in the most brutal way.
This look more like a frustrated fantasy of french devs than a game about a honorable "samurai"

And they didn't say they were wrong. They said Yasuke was a debatable, mysterious figure which created opportunities for historical fiction which is normal for this franchise.
They can’t claim they did any historic research. The Shinobi weren't their own fighter class. There were Samurai, which is a rank, who did assassinations or spy work, therefor they took on the job of a Shinobi. So exactly the opposite of what he is saying. Also a Samurai wouldn't walk through town in his battlefield armor. And Iga wasn't a secret, hidden village in the mountains, but an important and well known center of commerce with a lot of trade routes. There were no Ninja training in the Himalayas, that's from Batman for heaven's sake.
another big NOPE for me for Ubisoft. I uninstalled all my games from them and any titles from them will be ignored. (both games)
I like how AAA games have essentially become niche offerings for a very specific audience.

"Extensively researched" - getting the most basic things wrong, like putting a torii at the entrance of a village instead of a shrine, mixing seasons like nobody's business....

Well it's plain old historical revisionism they were doing in the west for a decade now. Being in a game only because it's more popular than actual history books. It's only more effective this way. I have a favorite quote about that by some CIA director. "We'll know our disinformation campaign is complete when everything the American public believes is false." - now people would downplay it and say "it's just a game" but it's also a piece of work with real cultural influence on young people. The perfect vehicle for someone who wants to do any real damage and erase or rewrite actual real memory. The professional managerial class needs subjects without any real memory to guide them. Monkeys smart enough to run the machinery and dumb enough not to ask important questions.
25:06 cutting edge technology but you can see Yasuke hair clipping into his clothes.
matter up for debate?! He wasnt a samurai!
The fact that they got the environment of Japan wrong speaks volumes to the downfall of the studio, Ubisoft ac environments used to be 1/1 recreations (or the best of what we know) like the notre dame cathedral of the historical settings now they can’t even get the seasons and buildings right.
they didn't get writing down right either, there's chinese writing on a japanese collectors box.
Waiting for countless lawsuits to hit Ubisoft so hard that they tap out to bankruptcy
Ubisoft got sued before they can get sued again but I don’t think it could bankrupt Ubisoft unless the US government gets involved(Elon sucks)
I actually canceled both my pre-orders on shadows and outlaws. I guarantee the price on these games will be cut in half within 2 weeks after release.
All previous AC games have starred a fictional character.
So picking Yasuke was a load of BS
I don't see how the Wokes can't see it. Like they said, this series is TWENTY years old, and the ONE TIME they do Japan, they screw over Japanese males. I'd be feel pretty damn let down. I'm of Italian descent, I LIKE that Ezio is Italian. I don't think I'd lose my shit, but he'd be less cool in that game if he was some outsider. Ezio had his roots as motivation in those games.
So, ALL those places got a native dude to play as in those games over twenty years, but Japan doesn't. It's like I always say, Wokes REALLY HATE Asian men. Like, they REALLY do not like them.

Historical accuracy was a selling point of Assassins Creed for a significant portion of the franchise. Assassins Creed has always been historical fiction but they tried to always be true to the period and location down to the small details
@@nicarde88 that's why they removed the crossbow in AC1 now it seems like they don't care with "It's a video game that's historical fiction, so don't have a cow" or "bigot"
"We are sorry please buy our game." - Ubisht
Most gamers regardless of country are annoyed at this DEI mandate. I'm not even a weeb and I was excited for AC Japan. A culture of honor and this is how they are treated? Big yikes Ubisoft.
Sixk video, great view of the whole situation thanks for the info
So basically Ubisoft just said 'Yeah, we got your culture and history wrong but suck it up buttercup!'
They basically said " we totally enjoyed making a game where a black dude can freely kill asians and be the hero too lmao"
The fact that the Mass Effect game has better life like characters than the newest Ubisoft games is quite a feat on Mass Effect's part.
And they were blunt and open about it too.
Forgot outlaws even existed tbh
Sweet baby is such an anomaly to me… it seems like most of what they’ve been involved with ends up tanking with terrible reviews, backlash from fans. So why are they still around and why does every company use them? What kind of authority do they have?
So you're telling me you'd be this angry over a white samurai? I call bull.
