JAPANESE PLAYS GHOST OF TSUSHIMA #1 | DIRECTOR’S CUT [PROLOGUE] 

@@kiplutu This is a summary of what the video said. It's not even my opinion. Is there a problem with summarising? Also, be my guest for liking something not respecting history. But I guess that's not what AC series has always been known for esp when they kept advertising for historical accuracy.

@@kiplutu Plus, read what the last line said, dude

I have heard from a few vids by other Asians that like, the "honor" thing is at best outright false, and aat the least grossly misrepresented.

@@chrisdiokno5600 other asians? Why would I listen to asians about japanese culture? how about we skip the middle man and ask the japanese themselves? Lol what you trying to say dude?

@@OneOkRockSamurai I mean moreso like, how in Asian culture as a whole, like, Hollywood has kinda exaggerated the whole honor aspect. Or like say, how in the JP dub of Tsushima, they don't repeatedly call themselves samurai. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-giBmzgW-iOk.html Like I love Tsushima. Also, what I find interesting is that, for all his claims of honor, Lord Shimura seems to be a relative outlier, as almost every other noble character we meet isn't too adverse to underhanded tactics

More importantly they let you know that this is historical FICTION instead of trying so hard to convince you it's historical

Well, it’s authentic right. Nobody cares about accuracy when there is authenticity, passion, and soul put into work. Because when an artist put their soul into something, it has no choice but to show itself. When you look at AC shadows, not only is it inaccurate but it’s also inauthentic. On top of it it’s disingenuous. So you don’t feel any soul, passion or beauty when looking at it. After all, what is Art? Art to me is something that can show sorrow, passion, and beauty. Without those things, how can you call something Art? Really without beauty there is nothing. I think sorrow and beauty are two very important things when it comes to Art and relatability. Western games is lacking that in spades. When a game has sorrow, passion, and beauty. Then it has soul. Then it becomes relatable. The reason why Western AAA games are forgettable, and unrelatable these days it’s because it doesn’t have any of those elements. At least that is my theory.

@@The_Primary_Axiom you're ignoring the RU-vidr main point since he STARTED talking about this situation You don't seem to understand with regards to Japan what he meant when he says that Ubisoft was disrespecting Japanese The way the civilians treated yasuke as a samurai The out of season cherry blossoms and harvest Even yasuke as a samurai And to say that was all based on historical records and done with cultural consultation? My English isn't good. I'm trying to be blunt to make up for it. What I'm saying is why tsushima is good and not shadow is because the atmosphere and design are all authentic and they did NOT lie about the story being historical fiction. Don't forget the rest of the world isn't Canada or the United States. Those two countries teach their school about leaving the UK and the colonial era, then 9 times out of ten they skip the Victorian era and jump right into the modern history of the industrial era. Every other part of the world learn about mythology, taught about folk literature and history and not just something they read in a children book. They learn about the middle ages, the Renaissance or in the case of most Oriental Asian countries the feudal era, then the Victorian and their industrial past. When you are shown a piece of media presenting your country and it's history both the authencity and WHAT it claims as fact or fiction matters. If it seems like I'm coming for your throat I apologize, that not the intent I'm just trying to be blunt and it may come off as rude. As an Asian immigrant in the west I'm just frustrated over how my ethnicity has been treated as a joke in western media over the past thirty years and how Ubisoft is continuing that chain

弥助は侍ではない。侍であった記録はない。 刀持ち＝侍ではない。 刀持ち＝刀の使用許可を得ていることではない。 正確に言うとただの荷物持ちということ。 日本人は主人公が黒か白か黄かどうでもいい。 UBIには史実に忠実と言っている事に対して怒っている。 トーマスロックリーはWikipediaを2015年頃から何度も改変し、ロックリーは弥助を金儲けに利用しただけ。 ロックリーのそのフィクション小説を資料として作り上げたこのゲームをUBIは史実に忠実と言っている。 馬鹿にも程があるだろう。

I´m not Japanese, but that is how I see it too. Plus it is really good game :D

One of the inaccuracies was including weapons from different time periods, despite the story all taking place in one time. But it's intentional - it doesn't break the story, and functions as a museum of historic Japanese weapons/technology. Not the same as getting seasons wrong with the rice + cherry blossoms. Or shrine gates as village entrances. And the fact that Ubi tries to have this vibe of moral superiority and being respectful to cultures. all talk, no walk.

The one thing I noticed besides what is already mentioned is that they, GoT’s dev team never said it’s “historical facts” and try to change written history to fit the false narrative

AC Shadows hasn't even come out yet for people to even make this crazy ass assumption! Yall really triggered of a black man being a Samurai

@@neonmatt24 see the trailers and gameplays

@@CibereyeCh seen the trailers and 12 minute gameplay and it still isn't long enough for all this fake outrage

Ubisoft only badly googled it 😂

​@@tethys17 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@tethys17 And what I found was a rice field in Myanmar.

For real bro, Ubi put no efforts, if they actually did research, the copyright infringement things won't happen.

It was published in the island's newspapers before GoT release. 'Mysterious foreigners have repeatedly come to investigate' but due to the small local population, it did not lead to the discovery of the game's development. それは発売前に島の新聞に掲載され、「謎の外国人が何度も調査に来ている」と現地で話題になりましたが、現地の人口の少なさからゲーム開発の発覚にまでは至りませんでした

They made sure the Mongols were a threat all the way through. They certainly respected them.

​@@silverhawkscape2677 and the threat of their fire weapons and learning of the japanese culture and also how skilled the mongol archers are as well

I do wish they represented the Koreans and Chinese in the ranks

@@0miy0 In some ways, they did. Some of those artifacts indicate their origins. Especially the Hwacha being Korean in origin.

Well said, even by a filthy clanner ;)

皆に敬意を払いつつ楽しませるゲームって素敵ですね。勉強になります。

Keyword being _anyone_ not everyone.

@@panzer00 Everyone, anyone, anybody, whomever, all - it all works!

They didn't just honor Japanese culture, they also honored the Mongolians'. The numerous Mongolian artifacts and the information about them is a testament to that fact.

@uhsul no, it doesn't. A game for everyone is game for no one. Anyone can play Gnost of Tsushima but not everyone will enjoy it.

@@panzer00 You've obviously got nothing better to do with your time except attack. Instead make your own comment - get a life bud.

@@MetalGamer666 I see.Thank you♪

Wait, Japanese have some affiliation with appreciating the wind? Does that explain why some Japanese are drawn to be tourists and visit the Great Plains of the U.S.? Where the Tornadoes _(Wind Vortex / Wind Cyclones)_ are created every spring?

It can go both ways. I have seen Japanese media depict the West's history with more respect and attention to detail than a lot of Western media. What I think is happening here is that there will always be misconceptions and tropes in historical media that people are used to, kinda like how people complained about feathered dinosaurs in movies, and so developers, producers, artists, will often stick to these tropes that their own cultures know. A foreign culture on the other hand does not generally know or care about these tropes. Not always the case but in my experience you tend to get a different way of looking at your own history when it's told from an outside perspective. It has to come from a place of passion though.

It's hilarious americans made a more authentic Japanese game then any Japanese could. Jap devs have gotten worse

​@@brotherknight9484 yeah might be weird to see dinosaur with feathers but I wouldn't mind since realistically the closest living descendants they got were birds and chicken's and I also agree that not all of them should have feathers since reptile is also close descendants

As a Yakuza fan I love GOT so much. This game alone made the RGG studio decided to release Ishin in the West.

Hope modders up their game and start changing even npc and characters just to be more accurate 🤣 if they won't listen bcz of their political views hope gamers themselves would take it on their hands 🤣🤣

Also the same with Kingdom Come Deliverance. I think some even kind of tried to make it sound like the game director was a far right extremist. I think, specially with USA “journalists”, since people from other countries can’t sue them for defamation, they consider them fair game. They can throw any insult and get away from it if it means extra clicks and engagement.

@@Daniel__Nobre I mean genuinely if you were to list out all the stupid takes it would be an endless list, like how apparently RE5 is racist for featuring black zombies in a game based in Africa, guess Umbrella shoulda just imported some white zombies to shoot at. Or even recently with Stellar Blade, how they immediately spazzed out because Eve is attractive, but then a week later the exact same people start acting like massive simps over the Hades 2 characters. Again these people are not to be taken seriously, and like you said a lot is likely rage bait like everything Alyssa Mercante does, but a lot of them are genuinely just brainwashed political activists pandering to a group of similarly brainrotted people on twitter. Tbh nothing makes me more secure in my view on these things than seeing how whenever they do, rarely, engage with actual people who oppose their view, they can't have a discussion without massively mischaracterizing what the person said or literally just putting words in their mouth. A good example recently was Jim Sterling, who is now nothing more than a corporate shill and a trans activist imo, who tried to lambast a guy who had the very common sense take that men and women have different bone structures (talking against female characters being masculinized I believe), and completely mischaracterized his stance basically calling it phrenology, which is such a false comparison its baffling, like obviously we can identify sex in criminal investigations based on the skeleton, identifying gender is a far cry from trying to say someone is a criminal based on skull shape. But of course this doesn't fit their little narrative where a man or woman is just whatever the hell they feel like, so gotta mischaracterize it and act like men and woman don't have unique bone structures. Anyway sorry I know this is long but like I said can't stress enough how much I dislike journos and stuff like the above is why, and tbh idc if some people have opinions like this but there is no balance, no diversity where it counts which is in diversity of thought.

Yep I remember when they did this

They're jokes, not funny ones either

This game would be better if they improve the horse tho a little bit like rdr2 horse a more realistic one with mood its own health and it's own status 😁😅

@@officialdreymedina3468 of coure if someone cares about horses like you do, I played this game traveling 80% in my shoes, there is so much to enjoy and see around every corner that I decide to finish this game being everywhere step by step.

@@officialdreymedina3468that would be pointless

Wow that is amazing 😻

Sony is a japanese company that own a lot of America studios

@@1992TheDiamondWolf To be fair, if i understand correctly, Sony is currently being controlled by its US headquarters and not its Japanese one. Which is probably why it has had a rather weird relationship with anything sexual in games that they sell on their platform. Granted i could be very wrong it is something i think i remember seeing/hearing about 5 or more years ago.

​@@andy9476 Sony is multinational but it's HQ will remain in Minato, Japan for the foreseeable future. PlayStation HQ was moved to California to assimilate and use the entertainment foothold and take advantage of the more lucrative American market and studios. A lot of politics bled in return.

@@0miy0 Fair enough. I probably should of figured that Playstation was a separate department/group of Sonys.

how can it be traumatic? you were not alive at the time. it's like saying the roman invasion is traumatic for the british. but maybe the game gives the sense of reality of living at that time. so it becomes more personal.

It may just be an awkward translation. But since history can be very dark and brutal, I could see what they mean. The probably learned about all the barbaric things that happened in the invasion and put it the perspective of something similar happening in the future. ​@@--Traveler--

Semper Fi! I am a Devildog who also served on Okinawa and likewise developed a love for everything Japanese. You're spot on, most welcoming and safe feeling place I have ever been in my life.

It's good that we don't speak German today, cause now you guys will speak Latino Spanish in bout 30 years time when you'll be rarer than the Natives in the US

They even tried to cancel Cornelius Boots, a certified Shakuhachi Flute specialist for his stage performance in promotion for the game just because he wasn't Japanese. Nevermind his credentials or the fact, as already stated, he is certified to play it (since 2013).

​@@PeninsulaCity2024Crazy how racist some of these people actually are when all they seem to complain about is how everything is racist.

Games weren't used to be political anyway gaming industry would shift if they continue to do that instead of games with storyline it would be games where u make ur own story

If Western mainstream media hates it, it’s a must buy for me.

I’m sorry this is a blatant lie, your perspective on an honest reality is lost. You are talking about a minority no one listens to unless they seek to find it. Ghost of Tsushima was praised and even significantly won the player vote for GOTY.

Realistically, there would be no struggle with honor. The Shinobi, aka ninja, was a accepted normal job position in the Samurai society.

@@IanJenn356094 The moral quandary was very important in some of the old samurai movies. I guess this game wanted to use it in Jin's character arc. In the movies the ninja job or a stance that lures your opponents in is dishonorable. A move of a coward. A movie that deals with this trope is "The Sword Of Doom." One of the best to be honest.

Yeah, as well Rise of the Roning. Got it yesterday (thanks to the demo which convinced me) and i've a blast with it.

I just hope you know that MOST Americans do not approve or want the new Assassin's Creed game. GoT was the last Western made game i bought and i don't have any plans on buying another anytime soon... As the Western Gaming and Media companies have been overrun with idealists that want nothing but to force their fanatical beliefs on others. Ruining things people have loved for years in the process. Japan is not alone with being disgusted by what they are trying to do to Assassin's Creed.

I’m glad to hear that. UBI doesn’t respect not only Japanese people but also the other Asian people. Even if UBI didn’t know Japanese culture well, they could know that there are four seasons in Japan…

I like GoT but I think AC shadows is also going to be a good game don't be hateful

@@isahjabea7402 what makes you think it's about hate? You need to watch this guy's previous video first.

@@AltioraQuaeriteCH Because you urge people not to play it when it releases rather to stream GoT. I mean that's kind of a hate campaign. GoT had it's own approach to how the game plays so is shadows using its own game play approach. I mean dual protagonist, crowded cities, changing seasons, different combat styles for the same game is fun and entertaining. Though GoT being a good game did not offer you things such as crowded cities and others so why won't I play shadows which also offer something different?

@@isahjabea7402 have you watched this guy's previous video? Search and watch it first, so that you understand what's going on.

​@@isahjabea7402 well said

Americans are better at making SAMURI games than French Ubi

I need a new inFamous game

​@@mattmark94 maybe a reboot or remake?

By the way guys I just got my copy of ghost of tsushima yesterday gonna probably have a lot of fun playing this!

One of the best, I'd say. It's difficult to say it's **the best** since there are so many games. My personal favorite is the MGS3 opening sequence.

Ghost of Tsushima in PC?! Where??? I can’t find it in Steam…Can’t find it in Epic either…

@@GamerFan5149 Been out since May of this year and it is in my wishlist. Try searching again, it goes as "Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut"

@@GamerFan5149 Uhh... Playstation removed it from countries with no PSN access. A PSN account is required to play the PC version.

@@graycap111b5 🥲😰😭

I played it twice, once on Normal and the second time on Lethal+ and I did all of the multiplayer just so I could get every achievement for this amazing game. Truly a remarkable experience.

I highly recommend this!

I played GoT for 90 hours and it’s amazing. Best fight system in a game.

That’s great. I’ve heard great things about this game. Very excited to try. Will you be doing a full let’s play I would definitely watch that

u got some balls! I highly recommend THE hardest mode

@@deshidratar-metauranocircita it’s the only way to play it 👍 I recommend it to

Thank you!

If you've played Assassin's Creed (the first few games) you would know that this sentence doesn't mean "anarchy"

Whatever they think that means, it's awfully close to the Marxism ideology core: There's no truth but power. It's the direct path to authoritarianism.

@@SyamDaRos-EndoManno Oh I've played all the classic ones. My last AC is the British one with the siblings, and I didn't finish it. Indeed it doesn't mean anarchy. It's quite the contrary, actually. It's basically a re-write of the core M4rxcism doctrine: there's no truth, only power. They thirst for the power to sculpt their utopia, against nature, and human nature. That's the path of authoritarianism.

shadows took the art style, people bowing around when they see you etc from GoT and they made it 10x worse lol. And GoT took AC influenced stuff and made it 10x times better.

You're strictly talking about game "journalists". Well and redditors lol. Everyone else knows this was a love letter to the samurai. And that the new AC is pandering, ideal pushing trash.

Thank you!

I dont know what happened with the world and when the loving became appropriating - cuz u mentioned the "appropriation" mr. Shohei. Be safe and defend your culture from vultures like UBISOFT but refraing from these newspeak buzzwords like "cultural appropriation" when you see that some people like the devs of Ghost Of Tsushima made this game out of love and passion - u can feel it - the deep respect and passion.
