It's not about historical accuracy, when it's a Japanese game from ubisoft, literally everyone expect to play as a Japanese ninja or samurai, just like you can't expect to play as Chinese man in africa
I've already got Ghost of Tsushima at home and its more historically accurate snd without paying 130 for the ultimate edition. I'm long checked out of assassin's creed franchise.
As a white Norwegian i'm wondering who this game is meant for? Like what group of people are they pandering to? I really don't think it's for black men. Is it to get more woke women to play? It's like all these American companies are committing suicide by choice, and not just gaming companies.
You have a bunch of activist that made their way into all these established IP and they put their pseudo reality worldview into everything and expect people to buy it because its an already established IP. Then blame the people for rejecting it while using race, sex and gender as a shield. Remember when netflix race and gender swapped a Norwegian man in that viking show a few years ago ? They just can't help themselves.
It's not valid. There are literally hundreds of male samurai and male ninja games out there. All it is is plain racist and sexist, you want an Asian male protagonist play ghost of tsushima or sekiro, the Asian male demographic has been swimming in male samurai games, grow the fuck up it dont matter what the character looks like along as they are well written, the probably I have is nit this man's skin its the price of the damn game, ive barley seen people talking about 200 dollars canadian for the unlimited edition, but no what do I see cringe ass videos saying epit fail ubisoft backlash like it's the most childish shit I've seen so far, yall only complaining about this man's skin color and guess what you'll be forgeten as soon as this game launchs, just like the hogwarts legacy controversy
Yasuke should've been a DLC character. He can't even be an assassin. He's clearly just gonna be a big guy smashing japenese men to a pulp with as much noise as possible to distract for Naoe the female shinobi.
he was a servant, not a samurai, but ubisoft isnt known to do history accuracies. Yasuke (弥助 or 弥介) was a man of African origin who served as a retainer or (servant) to the Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga in 1581-1582, during the Sengoku period.[2] He was retained by the daimyō as a koshō (小姓) for a period of 15 months until Nobunaga's death in the Honnō-ji Incident. Not that im complaining, not saying i would buy it. (almost) everyone would rather have the protagonist be a traditional japanese asian samurai. (just for the history accuracy and aesthetic)
Fam you added servant when the definition doesn’t mention servant at all. Retainers or VASSALS exchanged military services for land. Why would Nobunaga keep a servant by his side?? During the Sengoku era Nobunaga was one of the most prominent daimyos and clashed with numerous shogunate. It was well known that Yasuke was also by his side during battle. Yasuke being a Samurai is historically accurate. He was as much a “servant” as any other samurai/vassal. For people to use this as a reason to not buy the game as if it’s not historically accurate is bananas. You’re entitled to spend your dollar how you want but don’t use misinformation as an excuse. Just be a man and say you don’t want to play with an African character in feudal japan or period. But all that in your OP is just hogwash you probably don’t even play AC just saw this as an opportunity to group think.
The reason people didn’t have a problem with Connor was because native AMERICANS were actually in AMERICA at the time and made sense to integrate them into the plot. This is one black guy that “may” have been a samurai/retainer
In Japan it's currently number 1# and it's not even out yet. That and Yasuke is apart of their culture he's in books, manga, novels, tv shows, and yeah other video games. It's a western thing that folks are tripping themselves to find racism. I agree Ubisoft is totally being a greedy corporation right now, but let's not kid ourselves all AAA games pander it's just generally how they make all their money back. Also, when and where could they have made a game that focuses on a Black character that's a AAA experience? Black characters are almost always featured as DLC, side-kicks, or maybe they get more attention in a few special missions. If you put a black character as a main person in a game it often doesn't get the AAA treatment because studios don't the confidence to. And who to blame them, here we have an historical figure who existed and bigots are driving themselves crazy to try and find a way to take a crap on it. My main concern is the game loop, because the last few Ubisoft games I've played for about 20hours each game but after 20hours their games start to feel very samey. Then I get bored and just stop playing it. Hopefully they have some sort of dynamic that helps the enjoyment of the game last longer. (lastly, the pricing is out of the world! I'm not sure I'm going to buy it day one. Most likely gonna wait 6 months or so.)
I don't see why it matters, whether its Yasuke, a black man, or the white guy William Adams. Assassin's Creed games are bad cause they're slop, not because of issues with historical accuracy. Very few of these games feel historically accurate or immersive.
Its crazy because the same people are always saying, "why do you need to see yourself in a game to play it?" When it comes to women and blacks, gays in games. But now all of a sudden they care deeply about some Japanese boy not seeing a Japanese samurai.
The funny thing is that samurai Warriors, which is loosely based off their history battles added him as a playable character. I guess people now automatically assume he was a real samurai. When realistically, it's loosely based off their history with people having powers, fighting demons and all sort of extra content that wasn't there. Now they use that as 'he was a samurai' lol
Thing is, it's a literal dishonor to Japanese and their culture and they are raising their voice about it. Yasuke was no more than a pet to Obunaga whose stay in Japan was even 3 or so years only and they made him into a whole ahh main character. Anger of Japanese people is justified.
1. You're not Japanese, stop pretending like you are one and need to be offended for them and understand their culture without doing any actual research on the subject of Yasuke 2. Yasuke has been portrayed by Japanese media numerous times over the years and many depictions and inspirations of him have him be a samurai. 3. If you read any of the few documented records of Yasuke such as the Lord Nobunaga Chronicle (Shinchōkōki); he was described to have the same privileges as any of his other retainers. 4. Video games people, were playing Video games here people! Nobody cares about what kind of protagonist theyre going for. We have million of games up the ass about feudal Japan with japanese leads and amongst the sea of fiction and liberties developers have done over the years of the genre, having Yasuke as front and center is the final straw? Maybe we should actually hold the Japanese into account then for depicting Americans completely inaccurate in many of their works if this political appropriation matters so much to you people.
Imagine if they would make Black Panter game and we would play as some random girl and Winter Soldier. They took legendary warrior and give it to the DEI token who was in Japan for like two years or so because he was his masters pet so he probably could wear his helmet while he was cleaning it.
I love how idiots constantly bring up the last samurai as if its a trump card in this argument. The last samurai was a movie with no overall series to be compared to. AC has always focused on a different setting from the previous arc. The protagonists have always been a representative and fictional. Yasuke is neither of these. It breaks trends for a specific reason *DEI* that we're all aware of... Had ubisoft just made a game which featured a fictional spin on Yasuke, I doubt it would've received backlash. Fans of AC have begged for ninjas since the first game. This is not what was wanted by anyone but DEI shills for the past 17 years. The last samurai was inspired/based on an actual guy. It wasn't just whitewashing. (I know yasuke is also real. That's not my point with this line refer above) Tom Cruise's character was NOT the "last samurai" the film is referring to. Tom Cruise's character was NOT a samurai. If you watched the film then you would know this... Imagine if AC was set anywhere in Africa and we got a white protagonist. Whites were there in most places in more numbers than blacks in japan. Technically, we could've had a mongolian viking, native american pirate, arab european knight, black greeks, or a white egyptian as leads. It still wouldn't fit AC despite such a minority existing historically...
They realise they were gonna make a crappy game and used a black man as an inbuilt excuse? Definitely agree with you there. If they did this 10 years ago it probably wouldnt have been a big deal. Ubisoft has to die as a company
@@somedude5501 i mean here we are complaining about a video game in a fake world about historical accuracy when Yasuke is historical black and Viking are not historically assassins haha yea i think we can be alittle petty in here . this whole video is petty haha so its fine
Yasuke has been portrayed as many different professions throughout Japanese media. They are not butthurt about it at all. He is a man on retainer for Nobunaga anyways. Only angry westerners are offended somehow. 😂😂😂
I know that there are racist and sexist people out there that are nuts and unreasonable because they dont want ANY of them in the game. However, this does not necessarily mean this is what i have a problem with. My main concern is that the old AC games at least kept themselves grounded in the time period like Italy having an italian protagonist, altair being fitting for his setting ect. I always wanted an AC game in Japan because that is just a good setting for this kind of game. I just dont understand why cant they just have a game set in japan have an asian protagonist. Even if he did exist, which he did, does not mean he should be the main character. He would make a great side quest character as one of those npc you meet out in the world and perhaps do missions with but it just does not feel right for me to have him in lead role. Not like i care much about new titles, this games have become something else than the old ones.
@@halosaft Unless the marketing confused me all the impressions i got from the trailers was that its a black man and an asian woman as the main characters. If not the trailer then the cover art definitely gave that impression. My whole "issue" is that i find it weird how they made the game around someone like that when they could just have a normal cast which is something that i would like to see from AC games. He would have made a great side/quest character tho just shouldnt be the main focus on a game set in medieval japan
@@silas6430 Yeah, there's two playable characters. And the marketing is always making it clear that she is the main one. She is marketed more, shown more and focused more in the trailer. She's the Assassin in this Assassin's Creed game. She's in the very front of all the cover art. And the "normal" cast is just one playable character. If one character was enough to represent the game before, why isn't the Japanese main character enough to represent the game now?
@@halosaft We still don’t know how the game is going to be as they may be showing off only what they want us to see. What you say could be true but just the fact that they feature both so predominantly leads me to believe both will be playable characters. The woman will likely deal with the stealth missions and assassinations while the man is the brawler Also I don’t want you to think I find it a sin to have a black guy in the game in fact I said he would make a good side quest since he was real (prob not how they portray him in game). To me it just feels wrong to have him be one of the lead roles on a game about Japan. Just like having a black man be the role of Ezio instead of an Italian man. It just does not seem ok to me. Perhaps this thoughts are coming the established look of a samurai thanks to decades of media.
anyone going to tell him that Yasuke was indeed black, although not really a samurai but was a fighter and was given a sword and was said to be good with all kinds of weapons and spoke great japanse and was generally a well liked guy at his time. so yea this man is historically accurate lol . apparently he was a tall and scary looking dude but made great friend's with his samurai master in which he would take the sword from when he died so......
Yup. First they complain about video games having to few black people, and now that's there a black main character in a video game, they... also complain? Istg westerners are miserable. Most Japanese I've seen on twitter don't gaf, whereas the westerners there are all butthurt
Should have been Japanese. There's already been an African assassin's Creed. It did extremely well. Everyone wants to play as a Japanese samurai because this game is set in Japan... But who cares? Games are dumb. Go watch the Shogun.
The original idea from 2013 was a japanese assassin, named "Hawk" in japanese. Then they DEI'd it by swapping him for Yasuke and making a boy faced girl ninja.
It's even crazier when you find out that Yasuke just actually existed in Japanese history. Notice how literally no Japanese person complained about Yasuke, cuz he's part of their history even though he's black.
but he was never a samurai. Achilles was historically black? Cleopatra historically black? a fucking queen from England from 1500s was historically black? Thats what clowns are defending. All characters that are made to be black to appeal to a bunch of losers
The point is that there are tons of epic Asian historical figures too. Who do we have to pick the black man in every culture? I'm Norwegian, i want a game representing their culture. I understand you are going through your woke era special moment over there in USA right now, where everything is about minorities. The black man has been everywhere, we get it by now. Let's move on.
@@RyanG0899interestingly we actually don’t know if he was a samurai or not We do know that he is referred as some kind of warrior He could have been a samurai or not. He could have just trained with them we don’t really know. Japanese media normally take the route of him being a samurai so I think that’s why they made a samurai
@@greasy8394 oh so its about woke now huu ? haha bro a black character isn't woke ,Yasuke is historically black . so there is literally nothing woke about it . its just art , just like everthing else .
@@greasy8394 Sweet baby inc aren't "writers"... They're a consultation company, how can you be this assmad about them and not even know basic stuff like that?
@@komlat253 Yes, woke. It reeks DEI, identity politics and intersectionality. There's a difference between making characters who happen to be black and characters because they are black. AC has never had a protagonist who was an actual historical figure, they've all been fictional before, so we have a strong reason to believe the sudden change of policy was made because he was black. And you know what that means? The game is likely an excuse for blue-hair-brigade to educate their customers, who they openly call bigots, about their personal political views. We've seen this movie hundred times already, it sucks. It's not about art, fun or entertainment, it's about the message. So making Yasuke the protagonist means there's a high probability the game is going to be woke as hell.
Spot on the issue here is the fact that AC has become soulless due to Ubisoft. If your gripe is “this AC isn’t historically accurate.” You’re a hypebeast and part of the reason why these crappy companies get away with being soulless. AC hasn’t been “historically accurate” for almost a decade now.

Go look at the comments and like/dislike ratio of thw japanese trailer of that game and tell me again how they dont care
@@rudiger2744 that's just all the white male incels wining about a woman and a black man existing in a game 💀 They don't care... YOU care.
Japanese don't give a shit, they already use him in multiple games. Worst, they are making fun of western frustrated idiots talking for them.
@@dirty.bvstard8672 you are delusional
@@Lamine14112 thats your imagination. oh they dont care now? lmao you guys are really delusional, what now? call me a racist?
You’re insane that man was a real historical figure.
but he was never a samurai. Achilles was historically black? Cleopatra historically black? a fucking queen from England from 1500s was historically black?
Thats what clowns are defending. All characters that are made to be black to appeal to a bunch of losers
But not a real samurai
The point is that there are tons of epic Asian historical figures too. Who do we have to pick the black man in every culture? I'm Norwegian, i want a game representing their culture. I understand you are going through your woke era special moment over there in USA right now, where everything is about minorities. The black man has been everywhere, we get it by now. Let's move on.
@@RyanG0899interestingly we actually don’t know if he was a samurai or not
We do know that he is referred as some kind of warrior
He could have been a samurai or not. He could have just trained with them we don’t really know. Japanese media normally take the route of him being a samurai so I think that’s why they made a samurai
He never fought 😂
You care about historical accuracy? Sure, let's fight Anubis on a flaming Horse and let's watch Abraham Lincon fight Vampires
Those games didn't have a woke writers though from Sweet Baby Inc.
@@greasy8394 oh so its about woke now huu ? haha bro a black character isn't woke ,Yasuke is historically black . so there is literally nothing woke about it . its just art , just like everthing else .
@@greasy8394 Sweet baby inc aren't "writers"... They're a consultation company, how can you be this assmad about them and not even know basic stuff like that?
@@halosaft The main writer is also part of Sweet Baby Inc. and has influence under it
@@komlat253 Yes, woke. It reeks DEI, identity politics and intersectionality. There's a difference between making characters who happen to be black and characters because they are black.
AC has never had a protagonist who was an actual historical figure, they've all been fictional before, so we have a strong reason to believe the sudden change of policy was made because he was black. And you know what that means? The game is likely an excuse for blue-hair-brigade to educate their customers, who they openly call bigots, about their personal political views. We've seen this movie hundred times already, it sucks. It's not about art, fun or entertainment, it's about the message. So making Yasuke the protagonist means there's a high probability the game is going to be woke as hell.
cry more
Dei is stupid change my mind
N
@@WowUrcrazy99 haha t he true coloers shows evertime
Spot on the issue here is the fact that AC has become soulless due to Ubisoft. If your gripe is “this AC isn’t historically accurate.” You’re a hypebeast and part of the reason why these crappy companies get away with being soulless. AC hasn’t been “historically accurate” for almost a decade now.
Japanese new hero black guy, he is shadow that help Japanese woman to making Japan better....
hahaha right black people went down the line of cultures they were trying to steal and now got to one that wasnt disputed until it was to late
