It will still be the most racist game in a decade. And recently there have been several instances where the Japanese have had enough of western librul shit.

Reminds me of this response to Ubisoft Japan:

You know, all this desperation to downplay Yasuke makes me believe that Ubisoft is genuinely afraid of Yasuke backlash specifically, and the delays were to change his content as much as possible, not to fix the game because it's about as good as Outlaws. That would mean that we're winning the culture war.

Probably not, unlike syndicate, some missions in shadows are tied specifically to one character. Apparently chapter one of shadows focuses heavily on Yasuke. Changing all that would require gutting the game and rebuilding it.

Sad that nobody gave two shits when European history and Christendom had been defaced and rewritten in pretty much every game.

A reminder:

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIT!

Lol @ Mannerheim. At least most, if not all those movies failed spectacularly.

this is how you do quest markers in a open world this large (the quest giver dialog gave enough information to turn off the HUD completely in Odyssey).

And yet they keep making them.

Yasuke: Black Samurai. A real historical figure. Grifters cry about cultural appropriation.

Meanwhile, Ghost of Tsushima, currently rated on Steam "Overwhelmingly Positive", is a childlike depiction of Samurai honoruble code and oozes of cultural appropriation everywhere.

Yes, dumbass.

Ghost is pretty embarrassing. Doesn't make this slop any better, though.

They are both bad, yes

Explain to me what this baby-brained depiction is even supposed to mean?

 

[ultimanecat]

It’s not that fucking hard dude. People don’t want to play as a black guy in their Japanese samurai game.

Its a magic trick, Yasuke will use illusionism to escape from those chains

Yasuke was never a samurai, at best he was a retainer and oddity, like an exotic pet.

 

[Morgoth]

Cope and seethe, mediocre.

My source? Reddit of course.

Yasuke was the Emperor of Japan, and brought about a golden age of karate.

You've got to wonder if Ubisoft did any consumer surveys before greenlighting this.

Anyone interested enough in Japanese history/culture to play a Samurai game probably isn't imagining the protagonist being black.
