Well it's not used as a nice thing. I always wondered why don't they go to a time period in Africa and get a GOOD leader and use them for a neat story. It's lazy to just make up history, in a game designed around history. I am sure if we looked through histories or channels of black leaders. You could find MANY neat stories worth telling and NOT be pushing some FORCED stories. Where women are throwing Fully armored men warriors around. She is suppose to be a spy back then, so they WOULD NOT be walking in the open with a sword on their back. Kind of takes the SPY part away. The graphics do however look good, but I know the story is going to be a mess. They will not FOLLOW the guys REAL story which I listened to and it's actually pretty neat. Their not smart enough to do so however. Their all women writers no Offense but I saw the other stories the MAIN writers wrote lol. The book their following is a guy that says different stories to Japan than the US. He makes up crap on the fly and hid his ENTIRE X after getting called out lol. This game is going to be sheet.
@@aqlanimations4822 Because it's all about "owning the chuds" and destroying the most popular culture on the planet in retaliation for their being able to tell stories we actually like. It's all about revenge. Plain, simple, pure revenge.
@aqlanimations4822 Right. The same people who preach about diversity literally mishandled diversity to make it fit their narrative for a profit. They are literally doing the same thing they complained our ancestors did. And you're right! There are historic figures of many cultures They could use but they're too lazy
After them trying to pull older titles on steam and then backing off to only some DLCs which is still theft I've been hesitant with anything from them.
@@TearThatRedFlagDown They're paying premium prices to buy early access to _Ubisoft_ games so they have the honor and privilege of being unpaid beta testers. What more can you do to bully them that they aren't already doing to themselves just by existing?
I was basically laughed at when I told people in a RU-vid game reviewer's live chat that I live in Japan & Japanese people are absolutely pissed with this game. Consider entire Japanese market boycotting this game & the Chinese market too. That's like the two biggest market after USA. And even in the US I don't think people are that excited for this game. Everyone knows how generic & repetitive Ubisoft games can get. And this game in particular has been controversial since the very beginning with the way Ubisoft & it's devs tried to blackwash Japanese history & culture. They basically tried to change real history to justify their game lmao
@@Pointman11111hmm using a character who’s entire history has been made up atp as the samurai protagonist in a game set in feudal Japan or using hiphop battle music for fight scenes for starters
Modern audience? What is that? I don't know anyone who still plays "modern" games. I'm currently playing devil may cry 4 on the 360.i am 100% done with any game that requires internet or focused primarily on multi-player. Its 2024 and nobody has real life friends because everyone is too concerned over what everyone else is doing on social media.
Same here, I stopped caring after Assassin's Creed Odyssey although I thought it was a decent game. These new games almost ALL look like Saints Reboot weird kid cartoonish graphics to me. I don't trust ANY of the big companies because they have ALL admitted their working for the same ESG crap. So no thanks saving some good money lately so thanks companies. Oh and I play old games with cool mods so I am good.
I'm not the Japanese but I'm also glad. Butchering someone's culture deserves special kind of treatment. Ubicrap cross the line long time sgo. Also added the bitterness the moment they declared that we should not own the games we buy.
The MC is LGBPSITH and black So probably an 8/10 lol. Maybe a 9 they rate games on Check boxes and this one has all them and females throwing SAMURAI's in full armor around like rag dolls lol.
7/10 ign score is really like a 2/5, as I dont think i've ever seen them go lower than a 5/10 for mssive mainstream AAA games from big publishers. They are completely bought and paid for.
Stop buying games from EA, Ubisoft, Activision and all Western studios for a year and watch the industry completely do a 180. That includes all games that you're already playing that include micro-transactions. Hit them where it hurts.
They can't stop. The latest woke Mortal Kombat game has made money, because it's a Mortal Kombat game. People have no respect for other cultures or themselves, and many just want a pretty picture or consume anything new, like a pig.
It's all but over. These companies won and there's no going back now. Look at Madden , it makes over a billion every year even though it's known to be trash. There's a small minority that hates it but it's clear the community in whole loves the slop they are being fed. Eating it up all over the industry.
@@NoPeace4theEvil , MK1 started well, more or less, anyway. The main part is okay, but has giant plot holes in the story that I find hard to ignore. However, in the latest add-on Cyrax and Sektor are suddenly females, even though they never have been and Bi-Han's ending to that very game clearly shows Sektor as a male. The game devs are now gaslighting fans, pretending that that man wasn't Sektor at all, but some unnamed guy. They can't even admit they are making things up to please some DAI company. It's so pathetic I can't even look at MK1 anymore. Of course, people who call it out are being called names. I'm sure you can guess what names.
@@NoPeace4theEvil , oh, and those are the most pointless and pathetic gender-swaps I've ever seen, considering how many beloved female characters of the game series have not been included into the new timeline so far.
@@ItsShaggy3 to be fair it was just a reviewer (I think from IGN) who was playing Spider-Man Miles Morales, but that line is iconic now and hilarious. Definitely cringe though
@@ItsShaggy3 For Miles Morales it worked since it was modern NY. Ancient Japan...that is just pure cringe. Those developers and story writers don't seem to understand appropriate cultural time periods.
@@darthkek1953Er, WHY? Just because Denzel Washington is in it? Yellow Flash already addressed how his presence can make sense so don't beat around the bush now...
>make game about feudal japan >insert your weird *modern* takes, ideals and characters >wonder why you get no sales HMMM Ubisoft. HMMMMM. I WONDER WHAT WENT WRONG?
The majority of gamers like being treated poorly. Why do you think the state of gaming is the way it is nowadays; with terrible predatory practices and barely-finished games or games that nobody asked for to begin with.
@@random_an0n Better still dont buy it or pirate it at all....there are plenty of "proper" games out there to spend your money on. Many on Steam are just a couple of quid or dollars.
@@joshjo9405 no it’s because KK has trashed the Star Wars brand so badly people aren’t interested in Star Wars anymore fans and I mean proper fans have gone from angry sad to apathetic
Companies like EA, Ubisoft, Activision have destroyed the AAA gaming market with their never ending greed. They used to make some classic games, games I still go back to, but they don’t make games for gamers anymore.
In the end i think(and hope) some small studio will rise in exchange. Damn i never thought i'm gonna say this,but even Gaijin is better. But a company like "New World Interactive" had become my favourite game developer studio since 2019. And yeah before that it was Ubisoft. 2024 and my favourite game from them (Insurgency Sandstorm) still getting updates and no woke sh*t is in the game
Games stopped being about creating an immersive world for the people who enjoy them thanks to Sarkeesian. History shall remember that woman as the catalyst for this slop.
@@chrishilton3626 You know, few things make me smile as much as that reaction. That harlot wanted to be famous so badly, and plenty of people don't know her name even in infamy.
@@chrishilton3626 Unfortunately, the biggest name in feminist history to do the most damage to nerd culture as a whole, mostly when it comes to games thanks to her consulting firm ideas.
This, and the star wars games, are the first two games I've chosen not to preorder. Normally I do since I enjoy both series, but hearing that Ubislop has chosen NOT to respect Japan, and that the SW series is just another social justice piece of garbage, made it easy for me not to preorder them.
Every time we point out historical facts, people try to defend by saying, "This game is an interpretation of history!!" but delusions based on ignorance are not interpretations of history. Western knowledge is based on historical fan fiction fabricated by the British. "In real history, black slaves bought from African traders led tragic and miserable lives, but what if one of them had been active in Japan?" is fiction, but "a game based on the great black samurai Yasuke" is simply lie and Western propaganda.
Im disappointed that ubisoft is making a single sale after telling us to get used to not owning games we buy. People need more self-respect as customers.
There are people like theradbrad who play it and entertained by it. Not dunking on him, he's a good wholesome dude. But his standards for a good game is rock bottom
Blackflag is fun. Personality I was fine until odyssey but saw things that were starting to get annoying with it and origins. Just sad now. Assassin's creed was my favorite series and now I'm indifferent towards it. Not even angry anymore, just sad and done.
Went back to odyssey this year. If you completely remove the idea that its supposed to be an ac game, its actually pretty fun. I gave it so much shit over the years cause i was so annoyed that it was even in the ac framchise. @Allmightyimortal
@@Maximilian_Blazkowicz Me too.. got it for 5 bucks on steam last month. Fun game and I don't even care if Ubisoft steals it back. It was 5 bucks! Why do people pay that full price for this stuff?
Wow you mean after Ubisoft screwed the early access pre-order for outlaws people don't actually want to pre-order this garbage? Let alone pay 70 dollars for new games?
Jeez, what a surprise. The response from their fanbase would be telling. They have done this to themselves and I can only sigh and hate what they have become
What? You mean the "game" that's being patronizing and blatantly disrespectful towards another culture (in MANY different ways too!) isn't doing as well as the "inclusive" people desperately claim? What a surprise! Ubisoft should feel comfortable not getting money.
If PC games were sold on discs or usb sticks, whatever - and Steam weren't a form of DRM in itself, I would happily be buying physical PC games for collector's purposes. But that's not the timeline we're in, and it sucks.
they TOLD us to get used to NOT owning UbiSlop games. i'm not buying ANYTHING i don't "own". they will never get another sale from me. of any kind. the quality being crap only makes it easier.
If anyone in my milieu buys this game, I will ensure that they are treated like absolute crap and ostracized. It is time to play by the leftwing handbook.
I think what pisses most people off if you wanted to do an assassins creed with a black character do something with black history and heritage! I would love to play an African Zulu assassins creed! Blow darts, bows and arrows and climbing through the trees with lions and elephants scattered around the map would be awesome.
Yea, the problem is the obviously forced inclusion- Like, there's no way you can tell me that making a game in historical Japan, but staring a black man, then finding an actual one in history so you can say "no, it's not forced, cause he really existed"... aint some of the most obviously forced diversity bullshit in gaming (or all of) history And, they can call racism all they want. But if people have been calling for a historical Japanese themed game for over a decade at this point, it's obvious to everyone but these woke delusionist who should be at the center of it. And, if they actually made a game where having a black protagonist made MUCH MORE SENSE, no one would GAF, out side of the anti-woke extremist. And, it could actually be cool AF. Look at how much hype there was when Black Panther was coming out. Regardless of the actual product, the hype before release was REAL!
Problem is you’d still find many complaining that it’s woke and pandering. You can’t win it’s best they leave African stories to African studios. At least this way no one can complain about such projects being woke or pandering.
Ubisoft murdered AC franchise, which was rpg with stealth mechanics and good memorable characters into generic RPG with ability cooldowns, loot, and level system, which makes enemies with higher level damage sponge in order to push in microtransactions, plus now they are pushing their ideology on top of it. I'm done supporting Ubisoft in their bad work.
4:10 If this game came out ten years ago they probably wouldn't have made the main character look like she's another actor for that older movie Mask... (not THE Mask)
Maybe if these games are so expensive to make, it would be a good idea to make them what players actually want to play, not some nonsense. They deserve to get their asses kicked. For cutting players off from the single player version of The Crew as well.
I've always thought "cultural appropriation" was a complete nonsense. But can anyone who believes in that explain to me how that's not what this game is doing?
What the entertainment industry is doing is the deliberate cultural appropriation of European and Asian cultural properties and they don't even care anymore to hide it.
Jesus christ the bots are so annoying, and the worst thing about them is that if you click on the pfp you will see that these bot accounts were made, no joke 2 HOURS AGO TODAY. @youtube, ffs, WAKE UP AND FIX THIS SHIT
Why would youtube care? Ever think that maybe some of those bots are their own? Remember that youtube supports a lot of the stuff these companies are actually doing, so it makes sense that they wouldn't care about the bots that also push this garbage as well.
boggle my mind people are pre ordering games only to let them sit in their backlog, when i don't even consider buying them unless they're patched and on a discount. allowed me to avoid wasting my money on countless games that turned out to be trash afterall.
How is wukong and what do you play it on? I’m hyped to play the game but I’ve been burned by AAA games before so I don’t wanna dive into an unfinished mess. Is wukong good ?
I refuse to buy it. Im the most anti DEI person I know. And after they doubled down and lied? Even AFTER being proven historically wrong? Will never buy another ubi game ever again even if it ISNT woke.
Really? I actually thought the mainstream gamers who see Assassin's Creed and press buy, would do the same again! Seems like I was wrong, GREAT! I encourage more people to do their research befire buying any product, be an informed consumer! Vote with your wallet, games will not get better if you don't vote with your wallet, that simple.
To me, it’s simple. SW is suffering due to Mickey’s ineptitude and AC is suffering bc most gamers hate dei in their entertainment. How many dei game failures does it take??
These companies don't care about making money on these abominations. They are federally funded to push agenda. The real purpose is to destroy what gamers love and to destroy gaming cuz they hate gaming and gamers and want to control us. This is them trying to destroy something that gives us joy and comfort to break us and take complete control.
