This games reception is largely gonna come down to how big the world is, the smaller the better, people are tired of bloat and poorely paced campaigns. And I hope they have reduced the amount of weak side activities, collecting chests and stuff to clear out the map have become too much in recent entires.

Now I know why a lot of NPCs are scared of Yasuke:

Also, they couldn't help themselves with the overabundance of watermelons:

Hopefully there's also some grape soda and KFC.

The fact they did not even bother to hire a japanese historian or groups of historians as consultants shows they never care about different ethnicities and historical cultures. They have a negro fetish and want to shove DEI into everything.

Also shows the team behind this no longer has the same people as the earlier Ass Creed games.
Think of the series what you will, but in older games they actually consulted historians and looked at old city plans to make the layout as realistic as possible for your historical parkour.

Ubisoft games always have hundreds of devs, but even in an assembly line production like that, there's a few people who call the shots, and the nature of individual contributors matters - whether the 3D modelers are dedicated to creating believable historic cities, or just slap some vaguely Asian-looking stuff together to get the job done.

As with every company and every game series, the same issue arises here again: this is not made by the same people who made the previous Assassins Creed games.
It's a skinsuit using the same name, but lacking the same spirit. All the history nerds who wanted to build an accurate 3D model of renaissance Florence are gone, replaced by niggerlovers who want to prove to the world that Sengoku Japan was VIBRANT and DIVERSE instead of having its own unique ethnic identity.

Every single big company these days has been infiltrated by people whose entire lives revolve around worshipping niggers and faggots and troons.

how does the financial system work, really? if i moved to nihon and started clubbing weak little japbois like renowned Black samurai warrior Yasuke, do I wake up with $1,000,000 in my bank account and a comped pack of Newports? are those the behaviors blackrock is trying to force?

I thought the only real appeal to Ass Creed games was that ability to explore historical cities. You can get the mindless parkour and repetitive combat from any other modern game.

there's a parallel universe where Assassin's Creed Shadows was made by Platinum and starred Leroy Smith

At this point they're just making jokes at japanese culture's expense. But if the japs are fine with this, I'm not gonna get upset for them.

Why get upset over such things, better just to simply not buy this crap.

They are not.
I've seen many in japanese circles claim that it is incredibly racist and historically inaccurate.
They were even mocking one of the lead writers (a fat chick)!
