All i'm saying is they did this to win some points. It's not like he was a major historic character.

There are enough big black historic characters in african history. All they need to do is create a african AC.

And i would be pissed if they made a AC in africa and the male character is white because he was the only one there at the time.

That's my main point the rather make the character black instead of making a African AC.
Who the fukk cares about "points"? Nothing is really sincere in business. Why must we feel bad about companies expanding their marketing towards us? White people are raging right now that they are not being the only ones catered to anymore. The same White people mad about this game were quiet as a church mice when Team Ninja made a White man the face of the first Soulslike set in historical Japan.

Why are they using the “he was only a retainer” argument? These dudes know nothing about samurai. Mitsuhide Akechi, one of Oda’s most loyal men, and the man infamous for betraying and killing him, was one of his retainers. Yet no one would debate Mitsuhide was a samurai. Moreover, even Hideyoshi Toyotomi, the future shogun and one of the three great uniters, was also a retainer of Oda. Essentially, being a retainer is high rank and definitely qualifies under the prerequisites of the definition of samurai. They’re just too ignorant and racist to know otherwise.

A lot are missing my point and proving my point by doing so.

It's the same thing movies are doing instead of giving us original black movies they rather just race change a character and then they think that should please the black community and by reading the comments here it's actually working.

I rather have a AC in historic africa then just have a black character in feudal japan. That's what i'm saying. Don't give me crumbs and expect me to be happy about it.

I hear where you’re coming from, I’m against token characters or making non-black character's black, however Yasuke was real and it seems like he was a real samurai.

Me personally I don’t buy games/media because the character is the same race as me. What makes me interested in the game is the setting and the graphics. Hopefully this game isn’t 50+ hours long, and the style of game is like old AC(1-4).

You know how pathetic these people are. Yasuke's Wikipedia page has had 100s of edits since this announcement trying their hardest to convince people he wasn't a real Samurai.

If Japanese historians say he was a Samurai and given the same shyt other Samurai were, then he is one. Rasict crackers doing the I'm white and I say so bullshyt again. Even Japanese people online are annoyed by it.

A mysterious black Samurai of unknown origin who was so impressive he became a personal bodyguard and close to one of Japan's most famous historical figures. After only 1 year, Oda Nobunaga is betrayed, his killers escort Yasuke away and nobody knows what happened to him. How can anybody think this isn't a good story to build on? Ubisoft can do pretty much anything they want with the way nobody knows what happened to him in real life. Tons of possibilities

tears are delicious. i love reading the rage comments :mjlol: will probably buy the game just to piss off cacs.

Not one of them said a fukking word when we played as a Cac European Welsh character in a game that took place in the caribbean. its the exact same situation.

however, the fukking SINGLE PLAYER BATTLE PASS is disgusting and not something i wanna support. im torn.

Non-Japanese racists: :mad::mad: I stand with Japan, cultural appropriation, never saw battle, trophy servant, not buying:mad::mad::mad:

Japanese people: I would have liked to play a Japanese Samurai. Oh well. Yasuke is cool and there is a Japanese female assassin lead :manny:

Bum ass Ubisoft are gonna get my money for the first time in years:laff:

This is flawed logic here. The character Yasuke isn't a race swap and isn't presented as "Japanese black man!"

It's an actual character. If a Japanese man went to South Africa and within a few years became a Zulu warrior and had a similar story it would be seen as intriguing and fascinating.

There was an AC set in historic Africa: AC Origins. I know they sort of played with the main character and made him look more ambiguous but the NPCs and other major characters were undeniably indigenous "black" Africans such as his own son Khemu:

and various other NPCs and supporting characters. Even if an AC game was created and set in Kanem-Bornu you'd STILL have this rhetoric being spewed about shyt being woke. I'm with you on race swapping but this isn't it. Cacs use this "original character" talking point and then still say "We wuzz KANGZ N SHIEEEEEET!!"
I'm gonna start countering that line with this:

Are there any actual Japanese people complaining about it or is it just White people complaining on their behalf?:jbhmm:
Because I've seen multiple Black samurai/ninja characters in media made by actual Japanese people.:jbhmm:

Anyway, I heard this was a single player live service game. That's hilarious.:pachaha:

They all are at this point, or at least they should be. That’s why they are adding rougelike modes to stuff like god of war. Gotta keep people coming back to make the investment worth it.

The concept here is actually kinda cool. It works like forza horizon, where the “seasons” change every couple weeks/months so the map, challenges, enemies etc change and it makes the game stay more “fresh” for longer. Winter time infiltration of a castle will play out much different than it did in the summer.

People heard “seasons” and grabbed their pitch forks. But what they are talking about here sounds really good imo.
