Assassin's Creed Shadows (AC Shadows) - The Hate is Helping 

I agree but if that's how they spend their money let em its bad they have to answer to themselves I always wait for gameplay that's all I know what they do is up to them 😅

I pre ordered because I'm a AC fan that being said I also did it on Amazon where if it turns out bad I can just cancel Amazon doesn't charge till it ships that's why I don't support places that charge before the item releases because things happen between the pre order and release like delays personal issues heck you could move in the time it takes for a game to release and have the thing shipped to a location that is completely vacant now lock in charging for pre orders should just never be allowed in my opinion way to much can go wrong between the the order and release date

@JoshuaVaughan-pi1sn atleast your smart about it you have a way set up much like me I go to gamestop and put 5 bucks down on any game I pre order just to have it there in case I want said game I did that with dragon's dogma, rise of ronin and stellar blade and if the gameplay looks fun I might put 5 bucks down for this too I only care about gameplay tbh all the other drama I could care less about

@@the_anime_binge_teen_is_1954I don’t think it’s smart pre ordering any game lol because they could literally go on sell 1 or 2 weeks after the release date or worst become free in 1 or 2 days after release for the ps+ store for some days or free for game pass . lol this literally happened to Starfield and the last nfs game

@@the_anime_binge_teen_is_1954 yeah I'm not into paying for something that isn't even out yet when God knows what can happen I also gotta manage pre orders better can only afford 1 pre order a month after bills final fantasy 7 rebirth came out the same month as another game I wanted couldnt have both had to cancel 1 in favor of the other the fact I forgot the others name tells you final fantasy was a little more important to me lol but yeah once a month it's bills 1 pre ordered game if anything worthwhile comes out that is maybe a pre ordered movie or 2 again depends on releases that month and then play money and I repeat that once a month even if I have money left over I refuse to break from my pattern been doing it for 30 years not changing it now

I bet your the same guy that went to Change his wiki

@@sgtroach1510 no, that shit is locked. But am I wrong?

@@JD10X yes and even then it’s not like there has been a white protagonist in an Asian setting but when it’s a black guy that’s a problem

@@sgtroach1510 now you putting words in my mouth. I'm talking about the villains, not the protagonist. Am I wrong that the Templars will most likely be white christian missionaries even though it's an Asian setting?

@@JD10X yes you are wrong because there has been absolutely nothing in any leak that suggest that your literally making your own head canon but still making it feel racial

Like any company that does something you don't like - the best way to stop them is with your wallet. If you don't like it - don't buy it. Given its current performance projections, people seem to like it.

Unfortunately, my wallet is not huge enough to do anything. Someone else will always buy it, only good way to have an alternative otherwise AC will just dominate the market

@@blackblue2244ghost of tsushima exist, seikro exists, nioh exists, rise of ronin exists, all of these released prior to shadow, and shadow is still more anticipated

​@@ShinzuXTruth assassins creed aint about japan alone

⁠​⁠@@ShinzuXTruth Those are different games and I played none of them. But I play Assassin’s Creed because it bounces from different countries and timeline, it’s not just Japan. I prefer medieval Europe but I will still play shadows just because it’s AC. I am talking about another new franchise with the freedom to bounce around anywhere

My pleasure!

The season pass and pricing structure matches all the way back to Origins tho

Let’s you know where the gamers priorities REALLY are. Attack the black guy while Ubi attacks your pockets. It’s telling that it worked like gang busters.

Gamers would rather get robbed than play as a minority in a game

seriously, Ubisoft gives used car salesman vibes with all the tacked on microtransactions.

This is the most important comment I think. Love the story ideas so far? Hate them? Doesn't really matter nearly as much as Ubisoft hasn't shown a scrap of actual gameplay.

So real. It's dumb to buy without getting to see the real product.

They are going to show us gameplay at Ubisoft forward on june 10.

None was made in this video

@@MrMultiPlatform a TON of sense was made actually! You just have "culture war" and or terminally online brain rot lol...don't like it? DON'T...BUY...IT!! It's really that simple my boy

thank you

@@MrMultiPlatformyou must have been watching a different video than me.

i personally love the new ac games. Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, some of my favorite games that I've gotten lost in for hundreds of hours. Definitely lost interest in Mirage though, so I hope Shadows ups the anty

@@tlhommedieu exactly i loved the combat and rpg system in valhalla and odyssey ive spent hundreds of hours playing them. I just hope Shadows is something new and exciting

Shadows is supposed to be similar to valhalla

Mirage was actually good

I lost interest after Valhalla… but still playing odyssey

while frontiers of pandora was made by ubisoft, it was made by massive entertainment, the divisons ubisoft team..not an assassins creed team nor a far cry team. I wouldn't have put that much trust into a team unproven to make large scale rpgs.

@@ShinzuXTruth yeah but all games are Ubisoft formula and all have to suit the heads yay or nay wich make's these games terrible and overpriced

I bought the $130 edition I like the red dragon gear

It is optional like how it was in odyssey and Valhalla

The Asian community are the same scum bags who pushed Disney to crop out John boyega from the Star Wars posters lol

He is a historical character

@@emmaelstad341 You missed the point. Read again.

@ejcik92 nigga what did you smoke hate has everything to do with it who cares if they are trying to bring diversity and making it so everybody could relate to a character it has nothing to do with being woke you sound like a Karen.. lowkey there was no point

Lame

@ejcik92 homie what point grow up

Every AC irritates thousands. It happens every time it gets announced.

So if we look up any other AC trailer we will see similar downvote ratio? ​@@crash10125

You're literally holding out hope that a game will fail.. That's where you are in life right now. Think about that. Also, your "sphere" is what? You and junk you watch? Lastly, you aren't seeing anything in Japan. Stop it. An entire country can't be summarized by some nobody online. You have zero clue what an accurate assessment of their reaction is. Well actually, you could look at how it's selling out there. But why would you do that am I right 😂

@@smugnick5458 The Ubisoft Japan channel trailer has a worse dislike ratio than the international one. Explain that. Thanks.

I see the opposite in Japan, Japanese twitter and TikTok are saying the opposite even Oda Nobunaga’s descendant pitched in but ofc those videos and text get sidelined from these hate channels 😂

They never said he was gay. You will have the option to have relationships just like in Odyssey and Valhalla

@@ReforgeGaming Yes, true! That's why I said it's an option. They're not changing his sexuality, it will be a player choice

The problem is that the objections aren't based on hate or racism. But you don't hear those arguments because defenders scream from the rooftops that those are all the arguments or trolls make those arguments. The real arguments this is Ubisoft's racism by introducing another white savior into an Asian story who needs to "save the Japanese from oppression" (words taken directly from ubisoft marketing material), so there is racism, Asian erasure but this time instead of being white he's in black face. The open whitewashing of Japanese culture, instead of respecting Japanese culture they use it as a skin suit to promote their very white, very western values. Otherwise known as cultural colonialism or xenophobia, take your pick. Not to mention that the female story isn't based in Japanese culture at all, it's another gender bend where they will take the story and/or characteristics from an actual character and make them "hers", but her story will be every bit westernized (judging by what we have seen). Again, ignoring actual Japanese culture and how the female experience was in these days. Instead, we get another girl boss. Even the gay stuff, that's just more Western views forced onto Japanese culture where they just don't fit. Especially in this era. So no, it's not that the people upset are racist. It's that Ubisoft is being racist, disrespectful, xenophobic, and west supremacist , but nobody is paying any attention to it because so many are focused on (obsessed) with race they can't even comprehend that Ubisoft is being EXTREMELY racist towards Asians and Asian culture in general. The fact that so many can't even see they are openly supporting racists is both very sad and not unexpected.

@jdzspace33 lmao being gay isn't a "western view", that's absolutely wild. Anyways, what I said is that there is a massive amount of discourse around this game that is simple bigotry, which distracts from the genuine issue. One of which, is the xenophobia discourse, which I think is extremely important. It would be weird to not be able to "save imperial japan" as a Japanese person, and I also absolutely agree with how often Asian cultures are white washed, culture vultured, and so much more. The problem is, this is not the argument most people are making. I have seen very very very few people actually bring up this issue, which is a real shame. Additionally, Assassin's Creed has always told stories about groups that are oppressed in different settings. That's the entire point. A black immigrant being in a country that is very well known for being a monoculture is a powerful story about a person being subjected to oppression by another group. I don't see how this is any different Typical Asian culture colonization is disgusting, and it's so common with such little attention given to it. These are important things to discuss, especially as we come to see what the story and game itself entails. I wish the discourse online could recenter itself back to topics (like yours) that genuinely matter

@@jdzspace33 I also wanted to add that I think the "white savior" idea of Yasuke is misdirected. He's a historical person. He was an actual retainer, and therefore a protector of a certain person or peoples.

The price is the same as every other AAA game

I don't think you understand how business works.

​@@zeblackboiHe understands and I share his argument. I think unisoft saw this long before any of us even begin contemplating it.

@@sarsaparillasunset3873 That word has zero meaning

@@firstblessings8777 You need to do some research.

Yup I can totally see them saying that

I didnt even think about that yea thats true

They were GEARING UP to do exactly that. Up until the leak of Shadows.

@@yashaurel watch them complain about hexe being to much like the witcher series considering what it's supposed to be about 🤣

Hope you enjoy it! I will likely get the collectors edition

no because it made sense and for the most part was lore accurate.

Its fuking anime dumbass. Has anime ever consider itself historically accurate? Also your talking about something made years ago. I swear people nitpicking things made years ago

​@@theneoreaper6753so what your basically saying is no, because we didn't have this culture war trend going on back then.

​@@theneoreaper6753 didn't he fight a robot in that? So how is that at all accurate? Also I'm pretty sure Afro Samurai takes place in the future so I ask again how is that accurate?

​@@theneoreaper6753 Literally right now as we speak.. the outrage is over. The topic is done. Because there's many people from Japan going to another platform expressing their opinions on the topic and providing evidence that he was a samurai. Basically a kosho translates into a retainer ... Kosho is a young man serving a busho, a koshō acted as a bodyguard, secretary, attendant and will eventually become a samurai himself. Both yasuke and Adam became retainers.. retainers we're considered samurai back then all these Japanese people said that they're both samurai. Bushi and retainer are both samurai. The fact that people are still on this topic.. is ridiculous.. matter of fact maybe they're not on this topic anymore.. since that came out. The new topic is he's lgbtq.. simply because you can romance anybody.. so they took that as lgbtq... How is that any different from the dragon age series? or baldur's gate 3 ? Mass effect? Even assassin's Creed Odyssey .....Where is the outrage for those games? Where is the outrage for NIOH... If you guys want to show an outrage for that game then you guys will be more credible.. It's like whenever you guys reach a roadblock.. you look for something else to go on.. first it was said he didn't exist and he was a made-up character that was thrown in Japan... That backfired... Then they went on to say he wasn't a samurai.. that back fired... They said the Japanese people are outraged.. people from Western countries were going to the Japanese version of the RU-vid video and putting thumbs down. If Japan is outraged why are they making videos on another platform.. saying that he was a samurai? Why is the game ranked number one selling game in Japan? We're talking about Amazon and PlayStation.. ...

I don’t know why everyone acts like ac games are bad. Valhalla is one of my favorite games ever. Currently about 60 hours into my first Elden ring playthrough and I like Valhalla more. Ac is the best open world series out there besides maybe red dead redemption.

​@HahahMamaman black flag is based in the Caribbeans with a WHITE protagonist and they made a Caribbean protagonist with a DLC instead of him being the main character in the main game, guess what? As a Caribbean person its my favorite game of the series not because it features my birth place and home but because the story was so engaging i didnt even think about "wow why am i playing as a white guy?" It didnt even cross my mind or register to me

​@@HahahMamaman and now here we have those same people complaining and crying about a protagonist race in a land that it doesn't belong to...like how was i supposed to feel about Black Flag then? Lmao

@@trvpmusic2569 to be fair a lot of pirates were white.

You haven't seen any gameplay you fool

Well I mean this is Ubisoft we’re talking about, somehow-someway they will fuck this up. And yes people will play it, and some of those people are gonna be shitting all over it.

Same here😊

For me if I had both systems I would buy it for one of them only. I'm just genuinely curious why for both systems? Are there multiple people playing the game?

Same bro, But I only pre ordered on Ps5

I have both ps5 and the xbox x is Used as a door stop.

Yea I think the general public and japense people are just sick of these man children crying woke even me I didn't even care about the game until the next day with all the hate on RU-vid I'm waiting for gameplay and pre-ordering just to make these people mad and angry at the results lmao

Notice they ONLY talk about the dislike ratio on RU-vid every single day in Japan but completely ignore Japanese Twitter and TikTok and it being the number 1 pre-order there 😭😂

I also pre ordered out of spite lmao usually I wait for reviews but these losers pissed me off!

Bro me too, I cant wait to play as Yasuke

why?

Because his black. Nah I'm just kidding. It's because his story is not that interesting, it's fascinating but knowing how it ended with him it's sorted pointless to have him as a playable character. As a side character he suits it perfectly.

@@ReforgeGaming depending on when he's story in Japan ends in this game. It's just pointless to have him as a playable character because he was captured and sent away thus ending his time in Japan. But the conflict in Japan is still happening so why bother having him playable.

Also in all the other AC games the main playable characters were never real people... you were always a made up fictional character that went around meeting real historical figures... Why couldn't Yasuke just be a character you meet in the game and do some missions with him...

@@samjmk3029why don’t u go make ur own game and add what u want an don’t want

Until when? We've been knowing about Yasuke being in Assassin Creed Red for like 2 years now that information been leaked

However we’ve played as Leonidas in the beginning of odyssey and Jack the Ripper in his dlc. Both were also made by Ubi Quebec so it’s a given that they like the historical characters

@@trvpmusic2569 Have you ever considered the position of the Japanese people who looked forward to the games? The reason we talked about it this time is because a trailer was released. 　 　 You've properly researched history, even though Yasuke's family crest is Toyotomi Hideyoshi? Please don't be silly. How can you be anything other than egoism if you can't respect the history of the country?

Considering its the number 1 ps5 game on amazon japan I don't think most Japanese care​@@mato4876

@@mato4876he in the game deal with it 🤷🏾‍♂️

People still would have cried. You’re avoiding the point. It’s been stated very clearly that no matter where you place a black person in a game in 2024 there’s going to be some vocal movement against it. Black peopke can’t be in games where they “don’t belong” And now black people don’t belong in places where they actually existed.

the girl existed, and I thought most critics were abt the fact that Yasuke was historical (and not bc he was black) so why replace him with another historical figure if that's the issue?

Literal people from japn said he had the strength of ten men and was in the battle with him fighting.. so wtf are you talking about?

Somebody’s missing historical context. And it’s not the RU-vidr :)

We looked into the pricing. They’ve been selling 2 DLC season passes as far back as Origins. It just isn’t new.

@ReforgeGaming Yeah, I just think it's overpriced for what your getting As well as I feel like season passes in a single-player game doesn't make sense and should be included in the game instead of hiding it behind a pay wall

Hahaha mindless as usual ㅅㅅ

I got the ultimate edition

get it

They didn’t say he is gay. Lol

Oh and another falsehood. I never said “Japan is cool with this” lol

@@ReforgeGamingTheir article heavily implies it. Ubisoft partnering with Professor Sachi Schmidt-Hori ,who is an LGBT activist, says she interested in gender and sexuality and male male love in medieval Japan. Going on about this character will experience attraction to different types of people, romantically. People for the LGBT community are praising this.

@@ReforgeGaming As for the saying you said Japanese people are cool with it, I realize that was a mistake as I pulled that from another video just before yours played. I apologize for that, I was wrong.

Yes there is plenty of documentation, dumaz. He was a Samurai, cry harder about

You are not getting the point. If yasuke would have been a side character and later put into a DLC or spinoff story for just him it would sell like hotcakes. If they make an African assassin's greed game and you played as chrisptopher Columbus what would you be saying then?

Would you have the same non solaunche if it was a game about liberation of slaves in America but you played a white slave because history shows there was white slaves

i agree that some are doing that, but not all

Actually, when the Last Samurai came out, people said the same thing, but social media wasn't a thing back then.

​​@@theneoreaper6753 why does the black characters has to be a side character?

They are naoe isn't a male and every one's complaining amd angry thet they don't get a male protagonist that isn't black

They are not even remembering that she exists, the hatred towards black protagonism has even swallowed the Japanese protagonist

@@emmaelstad341 I have not heard or read that anyone is mad over naoe. I will say tho yasuke should have been a side character like Leonardo da Vinci or Cleopatra it's dumb it was clearly woke and now I know It was done for DEI reasons cause Ubisoft just said he was LGBTQ+

Well the trailer teased some gameplay features, like dual assassination, hidden blade combat, the difference between the protagonists combat and stealth, the spy system e.t.c. Although I agree that we should wait for the gameplay reveal in 10 June before getting excited.

they always tease/announce with a cinematic... ac valhalla, star wars outlaws... gameplay likely in june

But there are many times the developer has claimed to be very accurate I believe . To me I’m not really bothered by it as it is a videogame and I expect quite of bit of fantastical freedom , but I think alot of people are bothered by it ! I’m pretty laid back on these kinds of topics . But I do see why so many people are complaining ! I dont really like when they try to put aside accuracy for the sake of pushing agendas and we all know that is why they do it ! I don’t mind then sacrificing accuracy for the sake of storytelling or other reasons , but when they do it just to push propaganda ! I don’t really like that ! For example I watched Vikings Valhalla and they took the part of a village chieftain and made that person a black woman . There were no female jarls during the time of the Vikings , and there were no black female warriors leading these villages ! I can accept it if it was for the sake of the story ! But it wasn’t ! It was simply to push an agenda ! And I feel people should be able to voice their opinion on inaccurate portrayals ! It doesn’t mean they are racist ! They just prefer a bit more accuracy . As do I .

Obviously Ubisoft chose Yasuke to appease the rpg fan base. Those fans are their biggest money makers. They wanted to make everyone happy with 2 protagonists. Ubisoft is not trying to make a game for a small fan base. They’re a business not a charity. Whether you like it or not the majority of the fan base would rather play Valhalla than any ezio game. They chose Yasuke specifically, because he has one of the coolest backstories of anyone in Japan at the time and to separate themselves from every other Japanese game.

The girl is there to be a classic assassian, Yasuke is there for RPG elements (Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla) it brings in both classic players and RPG players.....now did Ubisoft do this to make money? Yea they're a game company you think they run a billion dollar industry and make shi for fun? ofc they want as much money as possible however they can get it, they dont care how they do it and they planned this perfectly by exploiting the racism and bigotry that has been growing the last few years people would be enraged to support this game just see racist people suffer, im one of them 😂 im just waiting on gameplay but looking from the outside i already know what they're doing and yes they will be successful i wont support they next game though lol
