Sucker Punch made a better Japanese AC game with Ghost of Tsushima than Ubisoft ever could. The stealth, the combat, the music, the customization, the visuals, everything about that game is awesome.
No it was shovel ware, an Assassins creed shovel ware clone done worse than the mainlines. Stop trying to prop up Sony's shovel ware slop that rips off other games poorly with worse game play. It was a garbage game.
Its not an assassin game it’s way better than anything Ubisoft has and will ever make you can enjoying as it is without forcing to be apart of the AC franchise
Good, as they should. The Japanese have every right to hate Assassins Creed: Shadows. Just like when Egyptians overwhelmingly hated Netflix' "Queen Cleopatra".

As an Asian Male, I'm just absolutely sick and tired of this nonsense. For the first time, we have an Assassin's Creed based in Japan, an 100% obvious Asian Country. However, of course...we CAN'T have a Japanese Male Lead...we have to have a Black individual based upon yes, a Real Person, but one who was NOT a Samurai, but a Servant and Retainer who was paraded around to draw attention because he didn't look like anyone else in Japan. However, let's go down the list here of Main characters in previous AC games... Assassin's Creed set in Italy - Plays as an Italian Man Assassin's Creed set in France - Played as a Frenchman Assassin's Creed Set in America - Played as a Native American Man Assassin's Creed Set in Greece - Played as a Greek Man Assassin's Creed Set in Norway - Played as a Norseman Assassin's Creed Set in Japan - Played as a Black Man....WTF?! It's just infuriating at this point that we CANNOT have Japan just be about Japanese people without putting all of this trash inclusiveness into the game. What's so wrong about having a Japanese Male Samurai in a game that's supposed to take place in Feudal Japan? Doing more digging, you realize that the writer scrapped the previous story which was actually about a Japanese Male in Japan, and instead changed it to a Black Male instead, and when you find out that she also is connected with Sweet Baby Inc...the Woke of all Woke nonsense group for games, this is what we get. I hope they make a new AC game in the future taking place in Sahara Africa where a Japanese man leads a group of Zulu Warriors. GTFO Ubisoft.
Bro its jooos who want blacks more sympathic for japanese childern who then will vote for open borders bcause brainwashing them into yasuka was a japanese hero
@@viniciusaugusto8050black panther isn’t real. It would have to be an open world game about Zulu warriors and somehow an Asian dude is some how blending in and assassinating wave after wave of Africans with their caveman spears. Just crushing armies of them. They seem to love doing that to Asian men.
.. . . if UBISLOP did a CHARACTER CHOICE sort of deal, and the Asian Dude is the Shinobi, The Lady is a Kunochi and the Yasuke guy is the tank could have been cooler. Hell, put some more character types as options! but NOOOOOOOOOOOO, GET DEI grants, DIE FROM FACEPLANTS!
What if: Yasuke was a friendly NPC all throughout the game, feeding you intel and supplies through his connections with the great General. And near the end of the game theres a sidequest where Yasuke is taken back by his Jesuit slavers and it was your mission to free him and that explains why Yasuke faded from history.
Yea, even in the historical books there is very little evidence that Yasuke was given samurai status. William Adams on the other hand, his status of being a navigator/samurai is greatly documented. But wokies will continue comparing the two as if they have the same level of importance.
Its defenders would say “bRuH It’s A vIDEO gAmE.” Okay wise guy, what would you think if they casted an Asian dude as the next Black Panther and justified it with “Bruh it’s just a fictional story?” Same energy.
Well if the game was meant to be fictional I wouldn’t have a problem🤯, but if it’s supposed to be historic then I would feel some type of way but really Idc about what race I use on a game that much to throw a hissy fit.
I am frustrated as a Japanese. You can have as many black men and women as you want if you set it in Africa. But what about Japan? Chronicle China is not well known, but the main character was Chinese. (But it was only a woman.) Are East Asian men not used to being assassins?
"only a woman"? Yeah, I see a pattern. You know what, why don't you time travel back to Oda Nobunaga and tell him not to take Yasuke into his service. Also, did you complain when Nioh made Adams the protagonist?
This comment is fucking stupid because of the fact that he was historically a real person, plus they very likely chose Yasuke because of his amazing history, of course many other samurai have great history but America knows more about Yasuke than anyone else.
I remember someone at Ubislop years back saying they wouldn't ever make a Japanese AC for some dumb reason or another and now they are making one within the best timeframe for it but with the worst possible characters to lead it, this really is just a waste of the setting now.
I think it's a sign Ubisoft is getting desperate. They've already managed to divide their player base over their cash cow franchise and alienate a lot of them. Now they seem to be putting all their eggs in one basket by investing heavily into the "wok" crap because that's what most everyone else is doing. Typical of Ubisoft for quite awhile now - just trying to make money by approximating whatever seems popular at the moment. As good as the game was, I think this all started with AC4 jumping on the Pirate bandwagon at the time.
Also interesting is you can go onto wikipedia and look at the edit history. One 'user' was repeatedly removing the passage and several others were adding it back. Eventually it became an Edit war where Wikipedia initially added back the text, and locked the section for editing. A few minutes later Wikipedia, while it was still locked, removed the text. Their citation is that there is no conclusive evidence for 'the claim that yasuke was not a samurai'. The literal equivalent of amazon asking for proof that you didn't get your package.
Samurai was not a term widely used in documentation during that era. There's a ton of warriors from that era that fall into the 'we don't know if they were samurai by today's standards but they may as well have been by the standards of the era and region'.
The worst part here is Wikipedia actually rewriting historical events to, presumably, support a video game. Had already lost hope for the site, but this was still shocking to hear.
It's about hiss-toricaI re-visionism using hoIIy-wood and p0p-culture as pr0p-aganda. Eventually a Iie becomes the truth. Understand what else has been re--written and re--visioned. Understand who w0n t he w4r.
You can also do like a 2 minute google search to find pretty much the same across many other websites that recognise yasuke as samurai or at least depicted as some kind of warrior that was under the wing of a famous samurai and also had his own armour and sword
@@huyle-ob8rg you have an explanation for the rest like the Smithsonian and time magazine who've had publications on Yasuke dating back 5 years ago??. That has nothing to do with Ubisoft or this game.....
@@princemarkanthony500 think of it like this, imagine an AC game that took place in Kenya and the MC ends up being Hispanic or white. I wouldn't want to play it either. If I played an AC game in Africa, I'd want to be an African in the game.
Heck, Akechi Mitsuhide would have been a far better choice by default. They could have even faked his death so he continued his life as a nameless assassin.
Yasuke being essentially a court jester for Nobunaga makes this all drip with sweet irony. Years later, and he is still being used as a ploy to entertain people who blindly consume media based on the skin color of the characters in their media. Then, when you call attention to it, they call YOU the racist!
I found a nice comment on reddit why that is. It's because to the wokies, you are Schroedinger's "whites". You are included by the wokies, if it pads their numbers, but be careful when they look at you and your culture.
@@MurakamiTenshi I have the strong feeling that these activists don't actually like black people, but weaponize them against white and Asian people, that they indeed hate.

This happened last year with cleoparta and as an Egyptian we had quite the "lovely" reactions over clearing our history, ironically I am also a Japanese translator and Japanese companies are looking for talents over here now since we have one the higher amount of Japanese learners in the world and higher adaptability with Japanese culture too
Oh don't worry, they absolutely do feel inferior, judging by their own narrative. They think whites are superior and thus deserving of scorn, despite 90-99% of white people not thinking they are superior. They are creating their own racism to support their victim narrative
Ubisoft went nuclear a while ago when they said that you should be comfortable not owning your games. I'll never buy a game from them again after that. I don't need any more reasons to not buy from that shit company.
Ironically, it's so woke that it comes back around to being racist. So, they're saying the first black "immigrant" to Japan is a murderer? No wonder they closed their borders. Ghost of Tsushima is the superior Assassin game.
Most woke shit is literally just selective racism, they're racist FOR black people instead of being racist against them, it never "came back around", both sides are one in the same.
If you morons know the history that you speak of. Yasuke was a real person, he was in fact African and he was also a Samurai. In the mid to late 1500's he came to Japan with a Italian priest in hopes to spread the word of his god. That is when the lords men put their eyes on a giant of a man with black skin they had to bring him to their master. The lord took a liking to Yasuke because of his size and strength and took him under his wing, years later he was a decorated samurai and the lords best friend.
Yaske was likely the only African in the area and so that name makes sense. Calling Adewalde "Negro" would get one deleted. At least the way I played it. Loved deleting bigots for hours.
An entire roster of historic Japanese figures ,and they chose the retainer. I can't begging to imagine the amount of stupidity that runs rampant in Ubisoft.
@lawrencenewman9941 literally look it up my guy. All samerai were servants. Just like all of our current military can be classified as servants to the government
it's been a fun day, people on bird app using the netflix anime as their source of "historical accuracy" and others not understanding that Tom Cruise wasn't the "Last samurai". Ah, culture.
@@grizzakaful I don’t think they will try to base this character’s story off of Yasuke at all. To be fair, as a black man if this is all they think will be good enough for “inclusion” it’s not even that well thought out. If they really want a good story for black people there are plenty of African Yoruban stories they could do. This is just lazy.
Barely researching I found how Japan had a more tame xenophobia compared to after the 17th century, but it was still prevalent in the culture... also, one Japanese twitter comment summarized a most enjoyable viewpoint: "Why must this game be about a foreigner coming to japan to butcher its citizens?" The fact this game is taking such a racist action while trying to push DEI politics seems like another tipping point that might help correct the industry. Remember, Netflix paid 2 billion USD for simply “distorting the Egyptian identity” with their Cleopatra show; imagine the threat to a much smaller company like Ubisoft getting a fine like that... for simply trying to push an agenda... I love Assassin's Creed China most, as it was all I could really play on my laptop during my childhood, and only at 14-20 fps. Still found the main character, a woman trained by Ezio (unoriginally my favorite character in the series) to be intriguing; She had actual backstory, and the low framerate kept halting all my progress as I would die or CTD, deleting whatever progress I made through a level... still looking forward to beating it, when I get a non-cracked copy.
No they did not, they were trying to give people more knowledge on the resources, people were in the comments making things up, Yasuke being called a samurai is old asf, and the stuff they put on wiki is also hella old.
@@judahjudge you didn't know who he was till the trailer dropped. all you lot do is run to google and act like you're an expert on the topic. you did the same thing with female silver surfer.
I agree there are, though its heavily debated. Sadly getting less and less trustworthy when it's coming from US or other Western sources that obviously have a religion going on that they atlre trying to push - ones again - all over the world. Its also very crinch to have found the one black guy to star in a culture that is so rich and full of history. There are incredible historical figures that they could have chosen that represent the culture way better. On top of that they chose you play as her.... With in the background the character that should have stared the game and would do more just to history and the culture. In doing so the are destroying more and more IPs and the studios that were build on the backs of our wallets.
Ya know at first i didnt see the big deal in this but now im realizing why people are making it a big deal and angry. Though Yasuke was a real african at that time and present at that time period of japan, he didn't really have that big of a role. I dont mind that ubisoft added him and giving him a bigger role but they could of just had him as a side character that our character worked with constantly in the story and possibly could of made a dlc story like they did with Edward first mate in blackflag. Though i believe some comments people are making are just plain stupid complaining about a black person in japan when there really was at that time. They need to learn some history.
@@FNownATzz bruh. I just said a person. When did I say black people? I said a African. A African was present at that time and it was yasuke. I didn't say people.
I'm black, and an assassin's Creed fan who always, ALWAYS wanted an assassin creed game based in Japan, the ninja were LITERALLY assassins, and the assassin creed asestitc would go PERFECTLY with it! But unfortunately,i think I might pass because the opportunity has been wasted...im not a masochist by any count, Lara Croft, Samus Aran and Aloy are one of my favorite female characters in gaming. But i don't want to play as a konoichi because in that time period in Japan they were extremely uncommon , they should have had Hattori Hanzo be the main protagonist, or Magoichi Sakai. And Yasuke... I would be cool with the concept, if they didn't say that it was a historical era. I did a lot of research on yasuke cuz I thought it was cool as hell that a black samurai was a thing, but ive did research and everything they're doing with him in this game Feels like full on pandering. They could've made him s DLC character like they did for Awale in AC4. They should've made the Ninja customizable, and the fact that this is THE first time they do anything with Japan and i feel they completely wasted this cool idea that ive always wanted on pandering. And I sadly won't be purchasing this. Such an amazing idea wasted and it makes me sad.😢
The thing that's most worrying is that they've been receiving a lot of pressure to make their society more "modern" pushing things like " LGBTQIA+/gender rights" and urges to take in refugees, with some proposed practically claiming mass immigration is the answer to all their problems. Thankfully they seem to have seen what happened in the West and realize it's a slippery slope/way to destroy your unity culture, but who knows how long this Japan will really exist.
You think they're dumb? It was intentional. All of hollywood is predictive programming aka propaganda. It's Tel-A-Vision. Even the founders banned their children from using it.
At this point I'm wondering why a lot of the people who demand history be altered to insert black people where they werent present arent actually black themselves.
@@BMillyWithDHoodE and being present is about all he ever did, actual records have just one line about him lol, and that's about how Nobunaga thought this guy put sh1t on his skin, nothing else lol, He's a nobody.
Except Yasuke was documented andoresentin joans history! Lol. Andevry history website possible has always calledmhina Samurai. There is also NOT any evidence or Historicsl sources saying Yasuke was never a Samurai. It is complety fabricsted narrative on social media from those who cannot accept historical fact due to his race. In addition to that Yasuke was never a custodial servant and was never seen or or referred to as a “pet” as many white people and racists on the far-right have been saying to try and denigrate and disrespect Yasuke. The fact is Yasuke has also been referred to as a “Black Samarui” for hundreds of years and there have been many Biographical Novels, documentaries, TV shows, Netlfix Anime series, videos games and Animated programs for over 5 decades. So the Ubisoft game referring to him as a Samurai has nothing to do with DEI or political correctness as some have suggested. Yasuke was first introduced to Japans school history book curriculum as a “Afro-Samurai” in 1961 and the first Childrens book on Yasuke was released in Japan in 1968 by author Yoshio Kurusu and artist Genjirō Mita published a children's book about Yasuke titled Kurosuke. The following year, the book won the Japanese Association of Writers for Children Prize.”
If Ubisoft really wanted to make something unique, and they insist on having Yasuke as a playable male protagonist, they should've ignored all the exaggerated and bombastic fictions/speculations about him as some badass samurai. Instead, in true Assassin's Creed fashion, they should've used the minimal and lackluster information about him as a convenient cover-up for why he came to Japan, why he became close to Nobunaga Oda, and why he basically disappeared without a trace. But that would require actual creativity from the writing team, and that's not what Ubislop is all about anymore.
I'm not even that mad about the meat riding of Yusuke, but to also have the second protagonist be a chick, I mean that's just overdoing it at this point. What they should've done is have a Japanese guy, a Samurai who'd become a ronin and take Yusuke with him and go into hiding. Knowing the friendship and respect he and his leader shared, the Samurai would honor it and tell him that the enemy will come for them and they must fight in resistance. So the now ronin would train Yusuke and tell him that they must stay undercover, so they would go to the Portuguese to make it seem like Yusuke got turned back to them and they would let him go in secret where the Japanese guy would take him after faking his own death. Then the two would be in hiding and the ronin would tell Yusuke that what they will do is for vengeance and honor, but they will become shadows in history, ghosts that never existed. So then they meet some ninjas at some point as the Japanese would tell Yusuke about the legends of the ninjas and when they find them, they would pay for training. Later on the ninjas and them would become allies as the clan that they joined got targeted as well and so now the survivors of the clan would agree on taking them in and create a new circle. That reformed clan would make the two protagonists ninjas and they all would fight in resistance together and avenge their fallen ones and leaders. That's how they should've done it. Yusuke would still be there and they would still get their woke points and with the Japanese character, the fans would also be pleased. So it would've been a win-win for everyone. If they really wanted to have a female character too, then one of the ninja side characters could've been a woman and so there you have it. It still would all work out fine.
Imagine how racist one can be to take other people's culture and do whatever they want with it. This is an absolute sign of malice and disrespect towards what other people have. This thing here is absolutely disgusting and i hope Japan retaliates hard on Ubisoft's racism.
There was one, ONE black dude in all of Japan 😭one single unimportant dude he didn’t really do anything, and they chose him? They chose the one black guy in the entire country at the time in a game based in Japan…WTF 😭
The point is they’re using him in the assassins creed People we would never have known if at all loosely if it were real life your honestly just mad and it’s weird just enjoy the game
At least you're not denying his existence like the rest of these morons. Can you name a Samurai from the 16th century that would fit the story better? What does it matter?
Ubisoft saw Rise of the Ronin and went "lets make the next AC with samouraï..." same they did with the success of Skyrim/God of War and Valhalla's vikings
The Jesuits' arrival in Japan is a brutal historical account. Jesuits taught them about the crucifixion, and Japan said, "That's a cool way to deal with enemies," and they used it on the first 300 missionaries.

Kinda funny how the Japanese of old used a black men as some sort of jester, and then ubisoft is doing pretty much the exactly same hundreds of years later.
As a jester? You really don't know... The guy served his master for years as a Samurai. At that time anyone that picked up a weapon to defend a lord was considered a samurai but still. The dude existed and served well, leave it be.
@@dgmt8789Sorry, but that's bullshit. Samurai at this point in history were members of an established class of gentry. They were minor land-owning nobles similar to knights in Europe. You couldn't become a samurai other than being born or adopted into a samurai family. He also was in Japan for 2 years as a Jesuit slave, and only served under Oda for 15 months. During which time the highest title he got was 'page', which is a low-level (usually teenage boy) personal servant. The most impressive task he was given was to carry Oda's tools. The only fighting he ever saw was a single fight at Oda's son's house after Oda was killed. After that he simply disappears from the historical record save a single mention of him from his Jesuit owner who says he survived his injuries.
@@gideonroos1188Not true. Hideyoshi was born a peasant but became a samurai later on. There was a lot more social mobility and flexibility at the time. Ironically, he’s the one who later passed a law in 1586 that made it almost impossible to become a samurai without birthright.
Myamoto Musashi was a Freelancer, a Ronin, almost his whole life. that would have been a perfect protagonist! when beeing Japanese isn't diverse enough.... no words! instead, we get one of those FAMOUS female japanese warriors - that were nowhere to be found in this period!
@@martinnolhaf3151basically like how white people would or any people would alter history like they still do because whoever wins gets to tell the story and if there is no records they will still change for their way
Yasuke was not only the first black Samurai, he also was a time traveller and went back in time and also wore a wig and lorded over ancient Egypt as Cleopatra.
Correction Yusuke getting a ceremonial sword and a residence puts him really high in rank he was a weapon bearer guess who was also a weapon bearer akechi mitsuhide the samurai General of Nobunaga (don't take weapons bearer as just a word it was a title he wasn't carrying nobunaga's weapons around) yeah that's the level of rank that black guy got and he was present in every military campaign Don't just take wikipedia Info without doing further research
Yeah, I'm not mad, just sad. An opportunity to make an interesting game has been wasted, all for another pitiful attempt at social engineering by the gaming industry. What a terrible shame.
I don’t get excited for these games coming out this industry anymore and you shouldn’t be either. Same crap different theme. Not surprised at all. Save yourself from the disappointment and drop your expectations.
I’m so sick of all this ESG score/woke bullcrap. This is a slap in the face to us people that just want a good, fun game again instead of whatever this is. Remember when games used to be fun and NOT full of ESG riddled propaganda? I remember those days.
I want to give shoutout to my Asian brothers and sisters, they're trying to push this shit onto your legendary culture. I think we all should stand up and force Ubisoft's hand or at least bankrupt them
The problem with Assassin's Creed is the longer the series has gone on the more it's twisted history by turning the main character basically into Forest Gump. Having to interact with every historical figure of the time. Instead of just being in the time period.
About Wikipedia and any Wikipedia changing stuff over night is one of the reasons I am never gonna throw out my hard copy encyclopedia I got at first grade….
The same can be said about physical media games. Get as many of those as you can, you never know when they might patch BS into your game or shut down servers
I highly doubt a "colored" man like Yasuke could "blend" in with the locals. The people at the time would be in awe that a person like that existed at the time and people would have a field day with him. Hell, Nobunaga took him in as such for amusement. If something happened in that area where he is, some people would probably blame him for the cause. And hearing (and seeing) what they are doing in Wikipedia. They are basically censoring and manipulating history. The very thing they hate. The hypocrisy of it all.
Why aren’t the Japanese people diverse enough? You’d think having Asian representation would tick enough DEI points for Ubisoft but apparently diversity only counts if it doesn’t make sense!
Assassins Creed lost its way when Ubisoft killed off the series' protagonist, Desmond Miles. Now, it's just a mindless zombie, not knowing it's a dead franchise.
Ah, yes. Actual ninjas: exist. Ubisoft: let's take this guy who was basically a jester and call him a samurai but also have him break the samurai code and pretend like a large black dude could be discreet in feudal japan.
@@paganicm3954 Except I'm pretty sure being a samurai was a hereditary minor noble position like being a knight in feudal europe. Yasuke wasnt Japanese so he couldnt have come from a Japanese noble family, so he wouldnt have been a samurai proper.
For the Wikipedia edits, we can see in the "View History" section that it's heavily edited by a user named Theozilla, undoing every modifications by other users. One of his edit quotes is pretty cringe : "This sentence wasn’t even present until today, it got added because racists and bigots got in a tizzy because of an Assassin’s Creed video game announcement."

Ever hear the expression 'Leftists always argue the exception '? This is that in videogame form. Bonus points. 1. "Get comfortable NOT OWNING your games." - Ubisoft 2.Ubisoft worked with UK police to crack down on online "toxic" behavior.
I'm very much a leftist, but I am a huge believer in freedom of speech as well as adherance to scientific and historical realism. The people who are pushing culture war nonesense are ridiculous on both sides of the political aisle. I despise how insane things are getting.
The micro aggressions glossed over as, “I’m just going by the information we have” AC is historical fiction. It literally says that in the opening disclaimer.
Cool. Only had to wait 20 years to get AC in Japan and I don't even get to play a Japanese dude. Now EVERY SINGLE conversation in the game gets to be seen through a 21st century L.A. lens !!! How LUCKY are we?! I just can't WAIT to play Race Simulator: Feudal Japan version!! How COOL are they? Look at how benevolent they are. Look at how they change the WORLD! Aren't they just the BEST people on Earth!?
One other thing that wasn't mentioned and it's also why Yasuke wouldn't have anything to do with those in Iga. The territory for the past 150 years was isolated and any outsiders/strangers not from the area were unwelcome. It's similar to what Japan had in place regarding foreigners except to everyone not from the provence including other Japanese. Furthermore they were also raiding neighboring territories. At some point Nobunaga became fed up with them and sent one of his son's to quell their rebellion and take control of the region. They were experts in guerilla warfare and wiped out the army. Nobunaga became outraged and sent a larger army into the region to kill everyone and burn everything they came across in commiting genocide. This is basically Ubisoft cloning Tenchu.
As a Black person this insults me too. Plenty of culture and history to be found in Africa that is *never* touched by any media at all. Not just talking North African either, Ethiopia, Kenya, what's known as South Africa and Nigeria now etc. This is them admitting they don't think African history is good enough for a game or movie or whatever. Only White or Asian cultures are worth anything and Black people have to be forced into their's. Not understanding these cultures became so beloved because they were depicted with care and creativity. Same can be done with the continent of Africa, the most ancient of them all anthropologically speaking. They just want to use people of African descent for social points but don't actually care about us. As a result there's a worldwide growing animosity towards Black people appearing in anything because of this propaganda. It really sucks.
True, an AC game based on the Zulu empire would sound amazing. It's disheartening to see that these writers don't genuinely care about diversity or representation, because that would take actual effort
