Thread 718237410

the problem isn't Yasuke, he's barely fucking relevant and feels hilariously tacked-on at the last minute. And, perhaps ironically, Yasuke seems to have made the developers more willing to show the tiny Asian girl getting her ass beat by men.

the problem is that it's somehow even duller than Valhalla

This game would have been passable if it weren't woke.

>>718237486
no it wouldn't, it fucking sucks as a game independent of the wokeness

still can't believe they wasted the cooler setting on Dei shit.
If it wasn't clear that AC was desd before, this was the final sign.

I'm just enjoying the cope or silence of woko haram cuckolds who went with their cope spiral of "It's too big to fail, this game will revive Ubishart!".
Meanwhile, today's stock value:
€9.22 per shartpaper.

Imagine if we got an actual jap assassin intead of this propaganda lite.

>>718238572
Naoe is the actual Jap assassin. It's her game 100%, Yasuke's basically a side character.

The team that decided to make AC japan with a nignog protag were never in a mental state required to produce a good game

nothing else matters, they're not serious about making video games. They wanted to pander to george floyd rioters and as such the project was doa

>>718238625
I like naoe but i still wish they had done a male Japanese assassin.

>>718237410 (OP)
My biggest problem is the progression system. I have no interest in playing the niggamurai, i want to play a shadow assassin ninja. I also don't like the fantasy/game aspect of the assassinations so a blade that Naoe pushes into the neck an enemy must kill him. Straight up, full stop. That's why i turned on guaranteed assassinations. But all of Naoes talents are tailored to make assassinations stronger, which i don't need because mine are already strongest. The designers just had no fucking clue what Naoes power curve should look like. Enemies don't really hear footsteps so putting points into something makes sneaking easier is not a thing, neither is movement speed factored into stealth. The only thing that is actually somewhat useful(and only if you already fucked up) is hiding under water and breathing with a reed. Beyond that the only progression is gear which only makes you deal more damage and take less damage in combat, which i am already avoiding because i don't want to fight.

>>718237410 (OP)
I would've played it if not for the nog.

>>718237410 (OP)
lol dude, the controversy blew over. you won't even find people passionate enough to rant about it here. If there was stuff in the game that was worth ranting about, we'd be 300 replies deep, on a daily thread, red faced, getting at each other's throats. Even the r/asianmasculinity types couldn't keep their eyes on the ball.

I'm amazed the developers didn't fuck up and include something in the game for political grifters to throw gasoline on.

The funniest thing about this entire ordeal is that the far left BLM scammers had the idea that trying to ship their far left grift alongside a game assumed to be too big to fail, would somehow result in the success refracting back onto the far left grift to prop it up, just so they could "own the chuds".
Even if the game succeeded, which it clearly didn't given Ubisoft's stock situation after it which just kept plunging down even harder; the very root mental retardation would remain unchanged. The mental retardation that the value of the far left ideology and all the bullshit inorganic fake Diversity/Equity/Inclusion is so low it needs Assassin's Creed to prop it up, instead of standing on its own through rational execution.
The past 15 years, racism has gone up, sexism has gone up, looney troon hatred has goon up with even UK organizations for equality themselves now demanding looney troons be banned from female toilets and require birth certificates on site; and all of this because the far left doesn't lack good intent, but lacks completely at execution, and attempts to look witty at every step while being transparently mentally insane and emotionally stunted to any average person experiencing their tantrums and high schooler rhetoric.
It's fucking funny.

nigger samurai killed the game

>>718237410 (OP)
I didn't get a chance to play this game as I was going to financial trouble, but are you telling me that they hype up Yasuke as a major character, only for him to have less screen time? Why even bother putting him in the game (beside political ideology)? You could made him a DLC character with his own route, then the hate wouldn't have been that bad.

>>718241994
They initially planned for him to get all the spotlight. But they fucked up in a schizoid way.
They tried to market it as a historically accurate game, as pertains to Yasuke, but then had to retract that when blowback got so bad it involved even the fucking National Diet of Japan - their parliament if you will. Then the blowback of damage control got so bad, the higher ups decided it's a better idea for Yasuke to take the background treatment. It's a beautiful shitshow.

>>718237410 (OP)
it'd make as much sense as making an american frontier game with a random chinese guy being touted as the penultimate "legendary hero"
the delusions were hilariously unreal

>>718237410 (OP)
>nigger in feudal japan feels out of place
well gee, who would've guessed...

>>718237410 (OP)
There is only one building to climb in the entire game, just copy pasted

>>718237410 (OP)
Ghost of Tsushima is the definitive AC: Japan, this game never had a chance

>>718237410 (OP)
the problem is Ubisoft and their dev-by-tempalte mentality
when was the last time they did anything creative? Every game is just "remember [old game]? Let's do it again in [new setting]!"

>>718243769
Rise of the Ronin is also a better Japanese AC game

>>718237410 (OP)
the problem is ubisoft

>>718243769
that game gets pretty boring after a while because it's so repetitive

>>718240898
I mean the game flopped and all the people saying it was shit won.

>>718244263
Like, well, an AC game?

>>718237410 (OP)
Yasuke is perfect for the job description of assassin's HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT.
While Naoe cover the ninja aspect.

No one has honestly expected any historical accuracy from any games of this franchise. It's fake outrage from culture warrior.

My only complaint about that game is
>PROCEDURAL LOOT
and
>ITEM POWERLEVEL
It's superfluous, keep you from customizing properly your build and you can bet it was done to hide the cash-shop.

Arguably I would have loved to have ninja-stealth that involved disguise, or Yasuke horseback combat, but we can't have everything in a game.
Ah yes, one thing: I want a way to turn off the few indestructible light source the game has.

>>718239443
>That's why i turned on guaranteed assassinations
Don't complain about lack of progression if you cheat to refuse to account for inexperience keeping Naoe from hitting vitals.
If you played without cheating, you'd know you quickly become able to kill 99% of the enemies, except SOME bosses with talking lines. And having fairer fights against them and listen to them was the reason behind the mechanic.
>Enemies don't really hear footsteps
They do, but their reaction time is delayed so usually you've already finished, especially if you play in easy mode with the enemy unable to see you on roofs.
>neither is movement speed factored into stealth.
It is, as said above, it's just that you'd have to run very fast to fuck it up.

>that the only progression is gear
If you weren't cheating you'd have to use gear that give bonus for certain type of assassination. Giving you reasons to reposition yourself to attack from above.

I also have mechanics I would prefer improved in ways or another, but you have no reason to complain if you are playing in easy-mode and don't have to avoid enemies as trained as your kunoichi is.

>>718246382
I can remove all the assassination perks from Naoes ninja tree and replace them with something better that also improves the depth of the stealth gameplay and still includes guaranteed assassinations. Ubi either didn't care to properly balance the stealth systems or they were just straight up lazy and when they realized that people would complain about the assassinations and slapped the bandaid with a disclaimer on it.

>play it wanting to go full beat'em up with Yasuke
>play like 15 hours before even getting to him
>his gameplay is literally less varied that Naoe, with hardly any reedeming quality
The black guy was a mistake. And not because of the character, which is alright, but because it's so badly included in the game.

>>718246936
Go ahead and humor me.
I too, can make up stealth mechanic more tailored to my taste. But I accept that on a big project like that, any choices will be risky, with far reaching implication at every level, and the fanbase will never be happy.
That's why I'm only concerned about them pushing their skin/item shop so much.
