>>712705810
It took liberties when necessary for sake of gameplay or storytelling but tried to otherwise maintain a semblance of historical accuracy. The places represented and its inhabitants were believable enough. The games are even used in historical documentaries and education sector.
What is the purpose of Yasuke? Why is he in the game? He sticks out like a sore thumb he destroys any suspension of disbelief. And what's worse it's not a fumble but a deliberate choice driven by ideology and malice.

Gotta love how they managed to make what should have been the easiest slam dunk in the IP's history a commercial failure. People worked hard to fuck this one up.

>>712706269
they absolutely KNEW what they were doing with that song choice and hoped no else would. that's the sort of creative direction in ac shadows.

Was the Cultist system from Odyssey really something people liked enough for them to implement for the entirety of the story structure?

>george washington becomes a literal wizard and no one bats an eye
Fuck you. That DLC was amazing.

>>712706667
>Was the Cultist system from Odyssey really something people liked enough
I really liked it, it had more to do with it being the closest we will get to a nemesis system until the patent expires

>>712706667
probably more of a shorthand for giving you perceived idea of freedom to go about targets your own way. except the entire thing is structured with level requirements in such a way that you're still corralled in a specific manner. not to mention cultists was just one of the systems in odyssey and not the meat and potatoes.

>>712706617
That is because one is believable and the other is not.

>>712706667
do people really care about any of the mechanics and instead just buy new AC game when they see it in the store?

>>712706539
the cherry on top was the ubi exec making statements a while before release saying they know about the feedback, but were just going to continue on regardless because they knew it was going to be such a fantastic product that everyone would come around to.

>>712706617
there are like 3-4 stories in the ac canon, and the protagonists are all women, except for yasuke. ac shadows is a thinly veiled racial power fantasy

>>712705758 (OP)
When did you realize that it's the best nu Assassin's Creed and perhaps one of the best ACs of all time?

>>712706876
Problem with Ubisoft and feedback is they're developed projects back-to-back so there's no real time to take in feedback. Maybe next game will once again drop the RNG loot bullshit because people once again hated how useless 90% of the loot was in Shadows. Which should have been a lesson Ubisoft learned from Valhalla which, in one of the few good points, actually took a step back to fixed loot.

>>712706667
I completely ignored it, I would regularly play the game and some new targets would pop up on the map. I thought the Mercenaries system was much more fun and it led to some of the best gameplay moments

>>712706667
Same studio, Shadows is a Quebec game hence why it didn't learn from Valhalla

>>712706950
That would be true if the feedback didn't start well back when the game was just a rumour with the protags being thought to be an african refugee ninja and lady samurai. They had all the time in the world not to push forward with this absolute clusterfuck. They just turned a blind eye and played deaf until the first trailers came out to mass criticism.

>>712706950

this was in regards to direct feedback from announcing shadows, not so much how they were moving forward from the previous games.

This game should've been all Yasuke and no second protagonist shit

>>712707173
They're cowards, of course they wouldn't do that. If you've noticed they did the exact opposite and made Naoe more prominent instead.

>>712708005
Do you have any idea how popular feudal samurai culture shit is? Even normies know it by now. The real gaming consumer base knows significantly more about it. It is arguably only second to western medieval feudalism stuff, with the Chinese equivalent being 3rd. Anyone trying to say that most people wouldn't know what it is or that it is somehow incomprehensible are the odd ones out. Especially since so much of it is analogous/equivalent to western concepts of Chivalry and Monarchy from a similar time period.

>>712705810
Bait aside, this was probably the only time they ever took an actual historical person and made them the MC, which adds a layer of scrutiny in comparison to being just some generic Italian dude or some generic native American or whatever.

The MAIN issue is when they fell for what basically amounts to fanfiction grifting as their source, then doubled down like fifty times when called out on it and all the other times they fucked up, like the One Piece sword and the broken Torii gate, and the whole "first AC game in Japan, MC isn't even Asian" thing which also pissed off a lot of people.

Yasuke is also presented as having happened in history and no one questioning it which is absurd whereas Washington's entire wizard journey is presented as in Connor and Washington's heads and never tries to act otherwise.

This is Ubisoft AAAA quality?!?!

Why i would give to be a fly in the wall in ubisoft, what the hell is going on in there ubifreakoffs? All their talent left and just made a GOTY contender go out of their company.

>>712705810
How do you go from Asian to Nigger in Japan of all places the land that kept everyone out for years and call this piece of shit a good game?

>>712705810
I think it was more the fact that Yasuke replaced a native Japanese samurai playable character because of Western DEI initiatives/fetishization rather than the existence of Yasuke himself. If he had been a supporting character who gives you some quests or joins in a fight he would have been better received. Also, using him to advertise destructible environments was INCREDIBLY tone deaf.

>>712707991
>Turns out, it's a character you meet during the main story.
She's actually only met for like two minutes which is why you didn't remember her. It's when you meet up with your mother the second time. I had no clue who she was until I remembered that one part during the actual reveal. She pops up for all of a minute to talk to Myrrine and The Eagle Bearer, you ride a boat for a few seconds, and then she leaves and is never seen again.

>>712719467
>able to freely wander around the whole of Japan whenever he feels like it without checking in with Nobunaga
Maybe you should play the game instead of talking out of your ass

>>712705810
Retard.
If they really want "foreigner in Nippon" angle, just use William Adams, the protagonist from Nioh.
Instead they used a slave whose only existence has him as a showpiece and then sent back to his masters after Nobunaga death

>>712719709
It's not $40 yet. I know he's wandering around because it takes place after he separates from the Nobunaga household but it's still extremely dumb.

>>712719676

Great games are made by high morale teams that are no bigger than they have to be.
Ubisoft hired too many employees to take advantage of subsidies, games are handled by multiple different studios that have no real interest in the work apart from a paycheck. When something isn't working they just outsource it.
Ubisoft cant make good games like this. It's a soulless machine.

>>712705810
I don't care about historical accuracy, their approach was just lame and boring. I feel like a yasuke game could've actually been cool if it was almost anyone other than ubisoft doing it.

>>712725227
That crap really pisses me off. I don't get how anyone can call themselves virtuous or right for portraying the japanese like this. They took stereotypes and confused the stereotypical chink english for nip english. The japanese because of their language would break words like "He-llo, How, Ar- Yu!. Not the stupid pause per word they do.

I liked it, has the same open world bloat that keeps AssCreed from being great since the very first game, but it's probably the best stealth gameplay the series ever had and it's also fun to storm castles as Yasuke and steamroll the entire army defending it.

>>712719123
>That's like the least retarded thing you can say
lol wut? going full steam ahead anyway is how they ended up selling a portion of their company off and carve their IPs up to keep the lights on.

>Is it still map spam with doing the same shit over and over like Origins/Odyssey?
Yes.

Yes.
>Do Naoe and Yasuke actually play differently?
Yes.
>You don't switch but choose one right? Is it basically the same game and story besides the character model and maybe combat?
You can switch between them anytime you want when Yasuke becomes available after act 1, the story is largely the same regardless of which one of them you usel.
>What historical location or time period is it supposed to be set in?
Central Japan from 1579 to 1582, the Honnoji rebellion is basically where act 1 ends, then act 2 has Naoe and Yasuke dismantling Mitsuhide's allies and later facing him in the Battle of Yamazaki, act 3 concludes their personal story arcs.

>>712727403
>Central Japan
So like Heian/Kyoto? what other cities

>>712726973
If you didn't like valhalla then you won't like this one. They still can't decide if this is a stealth series or a gay action rpg kind of game like the witcher 3.

>>712705810
>AC fans have been asking for an AC Japan game since the very first game

Backlash should've been even bigger, honestly.

>>712727639
There are entire provinces actually, Harima, Iga, Kii, Omi, Settsu, Tamba, Yamashiro, Yamato, and Wakasa. I thought the map was way too big, especially when it has so much repeated content like every province having side missions like "Kill 100 bandits", "Kill these group of bad guys" and shit like that.

>>712727831
Is Iga where Naoe is from since thats like the ninja place

>>712727897
Yes, that's where she comes from, her village is raided and destroyed by Nobunaga at the start of the story.

>>712727957
That plot point goes nowhere. She bonds with the fat child and the story moves on. There can't ever be conflict between niggsuke and naoe since ubisoft wants him to be the greatest samurai and japanese man ever

>>712728175
t. didin't play the game

>>712728175
I agree, she forgives Yasuke way too easily, in one cutscene she was understandably pissed and threatening to kill him, then the next one they're already friendly with each other. I think the main culprit for this is actually Ubisoft's insistence in doing this non-linear story progression shit with the targets, since you can kill them at any order you want, that means no major story or character development can happen in any of those parts of the game, everyone must be in the same place narratively, so Naoe has to forgive Yasuke quickly so they can work together to serve that game design.
I would much rather have a linear story progression where they can develop the main story along with the ones specific to the Shinbakufu, as well as Naoe and Yasuke's friendship being more gradual, like she still hates him, but knows she needs his help, and he has to earn her trust and forgiveness.

>>712706095
>Unity (2014)
>first games

Ubisoft already got bought out by chinks. Why are you jeets still trying to shill this shit? Who the hell is still paying you?

>>712717261
there's a difference between "underrepresentation" and being a an anomaly and merely a footnote IRL. IRL Yasuke's history ended after Honno-ji. He just got sent off and never heard about again.

>>712706617
Funny enough, I thought Yasuke was the more interesting and better written of the two MCs, his backstory, his relationship with Nobunaga and his ending all kept me invested while Naoe had the same bland "revenge is LE BAD!!!" story modern media is obsessed with since TLOU2.

Assassin's Creed: Shadows was a smashing success and one of my favorite games of 2025 so far.

>>712727957
are they doing a discovery tour?

watch it rerelease on 'itch 2 after outlaws and sell ubillion dollars

>>712729856
They really thought the japanese were going to buy it in droves after ghosts of sushi. It's almost funny.

>>712705810
The problem was about loudly proclaiming the game is historically accurare and you're a racist nazi if you disagree because Yasuke was a real samurai [information outdated]

>>712707946
>The funniest was their attempted justification of needing a fish out of water protagonist to be able to mediate Japanese society being incomprehensible to the western mind.
This is the core flaw of the game. Except for Yasuke's time in Omi, they can tell the rest of the story entirely through Naoe's eyes. Instead we get an unsatisfying revenge arc for both characters, and we don't even get real answers about the MacGuffin Naoe was after the whole time or what happened to her mom. DLC I guess.

I think the game would have been much better with the focus of the story and gameplay just being on her. There's no real reason she can't use a bow or teppo either.

>>712713023
Complaining about this is so stupid. You have to deliberately pick clearly marked dialogue multiple times to pursue a romance with him, and that isn't even available using the canon dialogue mode. If you get this cutscene, you are the niggerfaggot you're accusing everyone else of being.

>>712729315
Why is it that for Naoe revenge is le bad but it's okay for Yasuke to pursue revenge against the portuguese templars who enslaved him and killed his mom, though?

>>712730703
Yasuke didn't go after them for revenge, he killed them to send a message to the templar order that if they fuck around in Japan they'll find out.

>>712724807
Wild to me how good the facial animation is in Expedition after seeing the mocap footage and they don't have those dots on their faces. Pretty sure there'd need to be a shitload more finetuning with such a spartan setup like that.

How does Shadows compare with Odyssey and Origins? I like them both. Origins is my favorite. Both of them are really good games to play while listening to podcasts or have youtube or spotify on in the background.

Valhalla sucks ass but I still put in 100 hours into that.

>>712731961
You clearly enjoy them despite their faults and crap. Just play it. It's as bad as valhalla and in some regards worse but you still got 100 hours out of that one.

>>712731961
I think it's better than Odyssey and Valhalla.

>>712731961
It's a filler game with a bunch of filler content that you play in between releases you're actually excited for.
I never played Origins but compared to Odyssey its probably on par. Like 1 step forward, 1 step back type of deal.

>>712730545
They had to delibately write, direct, mocap and script gay interracial sex.

>>712729315
Naoe kills everyone involved with the Iga raid, though. The one one she forgives is Hanzo, mainly because like Yasuke, he seems to regret his actions and wants to redeem himself, so she's giving him the chance to do so and help her find her mother.

>All Yasuke
Wrong.
The game should have been all Naoe. Yasuke should have been a political figure who only goes full-strongman in cutscenes that Naoe deals with to set up the assassinations. He should have been your Leonardo. Having you play as him not only set up the time bomb that was the political fallout of smashing all of sengoku Japan to pieces, but also raised many questions of why nobody would realize that the six foot eight black guy was actually the mysterious figure behind the assassinations all along and that he was directly tied to Noggabunga. I mean he has his fucking symbol on his chest.

It would have been way cooler if the diplomat cased the assassination, Naoe came in for the kill, and the Diplomat could raise his hands and say 'That's just a coincidence, I have nothing to do with that' while all of Nobunaga's political enemies just mysteriously wind up dead

>>712734020
>what the fuck is wrong with you faggots discussing a video game in the video game board!

>>712734029
>>712707173
Playing as Yasuke also reveals the other problem with the game: The combat of AC games sucks dick, always has. Even since AC2 when everyone waited patiently in a circle to play simon says with you. It sucked back then and was never showcased for that obvious reason alone.

so making simon-says man takes away from teh gameplay significantly.

>>712731961
It's about on par with Valhalla. There's some things it does better, some things it does worse.
There's no modern day stuff, no Isu stuff at all, and at best a strained connection to the overall assassin & order conflict. So if that's what interests you, you will not enjoy it.

>>712732725
You still have to choose multiple times to see Yasuke spear the twink, you fucking faggot.

>>712726973
>Is is smaller like Mirage or fuck huge again?
It's fuck huge. It's a pretty small region of the country, but the scale is honestly way oversized for what they do with it. I think this is the big reason they introduced seasons so there's more environmental diversity. I would rather just have places like Hokkaido or Kyushu in the game instead, but I'm sure they'll sell that shit as DLCs

>>712733909
I waste my time talking about the trash games I have played instead of ones I haven't.

>>712734145
there has been exactly 1 western game worth playing in 6 or 7 years minimum. any white man who played ac shadows deserves to be skinned alive.
>>712734439
this is just embarrassing. I hate this faggot infested board so goddamn much it's unreal

>>712734439
The problem in general is that half of the game (Yes, the Yasuke portion) still sucks to play as. His gameplay is not fun. It's not why anyone plays AC games. It's a worse version of Ghost of Tsushima in every conceivable way.

Naoe was fun but her story sucks, Yasuke sucks dick (literally) but his story is fine.

Why did they turn Hattori Hanzo into a ninja incel rather than sticking with the established lore on him? Like, I thought the overall story was fine, but they did Hanzo dirty with his motivation being basically "Yeah I sold your mother to the templars cause she chose to fuck my friend instead of me"

>>712734859
Because Ubisoft hate Jap males, anon.
Why do you think they let a Japanese woman famous for her loyalty NTR on her husband with Yasuke?

>>712735832
Her husband has been dead for a while at the time the game takes place though, even worse he was killed by the Oda and she clearly resented Nobunaga for it. Historically, Oichi marries Shibata Katsuie shortly after Nobunaga dies, but then Katsuie and her commit sudoku together after they lose the battle to Hideyoshi, basically she never really gets to be happy at the end of the day.

>>712736353
Not that guy, but it was really stupid. There's no excusing it and some fetishistic faggot just wanted it in the game. If the nips didn't care for the game because in the first place. That one really did piss them off

>>712736647
I agree the romance option feels pointless and unnecessary, her conversation with Yasuke about how Nobunaga killed her husband and how she feels hollow despite his death technically having been avenged was already a good interaction on its own, and that's all that happened in my run because I played canon mode.

>>712705810

This entire game exposed an english teacher jew Lockley that was teaching japanese students in english only globohomo historical propaganda about how Japan participated in the atlantic slave trade and they need to feel guilty about it just like modern whites do btw.

>>712705810
>>712706617
You cocksuckers have tried that defense with washington for months now. Unless Japanese wikipedia is treating the game's canon like history, it's really no equivlent.

Hell, the english yasuke wikipedia is a blatant and obvious purity test for people right now.

I still don't understand why troons defend blacks.

>>712706617
The George Washington DLC in AC3 was kino, not gonna lie.

>>712737152
I think the most diabolical thing about the kike Lockley was he deliberately taught this historical globohomo propaganda in his english class in english only so the students can't explain it well to their parents at home. Thankfully Nihon university banned all foreigner teachers after this was exposed so one head of globohomo subversion was severed.

>>712706617
> George Washington hallucinate himself becomes a wizard and no one bats an eye because it's just hallucination that get dispelled
There, fixed that for you Lockley. Go harakiri yourself

>Why do you think they let a Japanese woman famous for her loyalty NTR on her husband with Yasuke?
Oh it's more than just stupid. She's the mother of the future emperess, AND held up as a prototypical model for the Yamato Nadeshiko who held marital fidelity over her own life in the documented history. They went out of their way to find the most offensive possible choice other than the emperess herself or literal CP as far as female choices.

In fact, her decendents are on of the reasons why some of the retailers like Bic Camera cut off physical sales early, as a couple of their top execs trace their lineage to her.

>>712737152
I suspect that was the thing that made the retail people walk out and forced Ubi to do enough emergency rewrites. Japan ended slavery on it's own, and it's one of the few things that the WW2 empire was proud of. Ending slavery in korea and SE asia. Claiming that would be something that would have resulted in physical direct action from the yakuza or ukio dantai.

>>712737652
My favorite was the differences between the japanese version which was labeled as fiction and the english one which was not. And also the japanese guy he had look it over, was told was fiction, while on the english side, he claimed the japanese guy was doing peer review.

>>712737152
>>712737652
Bros, you're aware that Lockley still works at Nihon University and his profile is still available on their website for anyone to see, right?

Am having anti woke fatigue

>>712737845
>>712737956
It shouldn't be a surprise that a lazy company like ubisoft thought they can write the same crap they tend to and pass it off as "historically accurate". While saying "AY YO GREEK WAS SUPER DIVERSE AND AMERICA OWES IT'S HISTORY TO SLAVES" making such claims about a smaller island nation that protects it's history was dumb. Same thing would have happened if they tried this for a korean game or chinese game

>>712738108
And the whole world has stupid faggot fatigue. Too bad

>>712737971
>you're aware that Lockley still works at Nihon University
He's literally isn't.

Only for archiving purposes.

You're a disgusting tranny that keeps trying to concern troll and gaslight natural revulsion and rejection of hideous anti-human and anti-truth globohomo satanic garbage, kill yourself freak.

>>712737971
He is not. I asked the Mombusho directly, and he is not teaching any accredited classes this semester anywhere in Japan. You can contact Nihon University yourself. Their english speaking email address is int@nihon-u.ac.jp.

>>712707434
The end of the DLC was so fucking kino

>>712738914
How is it? The twist is obvious and I didn't like the inclusion of magic so I never finished it.

>>712705947
that's a battle you wont win, tourist. the game was objectively shit and entertaining black historical revisionism is insane. game deserved to flop and honestly the devs should be killed for working on it.

>>712738914
I can't wait for the sequel gonna be great

>>712739086
They wake up and realize the apple is not worth it.
I forgot if Connor dump it into the sea or hide it with him

>>712719474
This is even worse with voice acting. People have kinda glossed over how utterly HORRENDOUS some of it is. Worse than AI at this point.

>>712731961
I have no idea how someone can like Odyssey and dislike Valhalla. Or vice versa for that matter. They're both bloated shit.

>>712734439
They had to choose multiple times that they want interracial gay sex in their game.

good lord

Sorry I thought you mean the dlc for ghosts of sushi. I didn't play any of the assassin's creed games past brotherhood

Because you get legendary equipment WAY too early rendering almost all chests into pointless filler.

age of empires has priests who use magic to heal people or convert others to their side and it fits in the setting
it also has cars as a joke you can only get with cheats, wonder why the cars aren't normal units while magic men are? because cars don't fit in the setting, world building is important and something unrealistic doesn't mean they can just throw anything and make it fit
also making a game about japanese culture but then twisting it to worship niggers is fucked up

>>Assassin's Creed has been historically inaccurate since the very first game

>>everyone goes insane

You're a disingenuous cocksucker as the main point of contention was the way shills and the media were screaming in our collective faces that Yasuke was a real samurai in order to justify him being the protagonist.

It was then proven that piece of shit Tom Lockley wrote a fictional account of him then spent years re-writing his history online and using his own book as the source.

They're pushing this because they want to claim that blacks built Japan but whose contributions were erased due to racism so they can guilt them into submission and get free shit just how they weaponized white guilt over slavery and get everyone to roll over when they cause trouble.

This is why blacks can raid and rob stores for Iphones and sneakers with little to no repercussions because they know all they have to do is scream "RACISM!!!" if caught and the (((media))) will come running to their defense no matter what they've done!!!FACT!!!

>>712717261
>>malice
>Why is it malice to want to include underrepresented people?

Except that blacks aren't underrepresented, you just hate white straight males while your narcissism means you can't identify with someone who isn't the same as you because you don't feel empathy or compassion for anyone who isn't

NO ONE was asking for the protagonist to be a white male, just an Asian one appropriate for the era the game takes place while showing just how racist you actually are by appropriating another culture and blatantly lying about it's history to justify your bullshit

You're a dirty cocksucker who has sucked more cocks than any other cocksucker in existence!!!FACT!!!

>>712739136
The sequel added the writers from the Veilguard, who have zero works about japanese culture and don't speak the language. My expectations have plummeted. I'm just hoping they don't go full spiderman 2 here.

>>712747573
>>712728786
>>712717852

The bigger problem is that even if they did want to make a game about yasuke, they fucked up his portrayal so bad that it resembles a pol shitpost more than anything else, and then touted it's authenticity.

>>712706431
>just reminding you of the reddiqu- I mean /v/etiquette

>>712739651
Kek my bad bro, totally misread the convo too. I noped out after Brotherhood as well, felt like the series peaked right there. Everyone keeps hyping up the newer ones but when I see footage it's all glowy armor and anime jumps, not even the same franchise anymore. Ghost of Sushi scratches the assassin itch way better anyway.
