Assassins Creed: Shadows (Japan) 2024+

[AStrangeName]

i can’t believe people still think these cac incels raging about shyt doesn’t effect game developers/development still. This entire assassins creed situations is just a mess, with the head of ubisoft and directors constantly trying to backtrack and apologize for making the game. They might as well just throw the whole thing out at this point. The well is poisoned on this game just like it was for concord and to some degree veilguard.

I have a feeling they are going to try and remove yasuke. They sound incredibly desperate for sales.

If they do something on this level gaming discourse is absolutely cooked.

Ubisoft shouldn't let a small group of "gamers" that don't even buy or play games to have this much power over their head. This industry issue on not leaving that subset of folks behind mainly do to the looking like the majority who buys games.

Only thing that separates this situation from bear sex, tit scars, and “Abby”, is that the latter were games ranging from very fukking good to greatest of all time.

Whereas, Yasuke is being used as a scape goat to distract from a buggy half-assed, by-the-numbers assassin’s creed game.

Ubisoft had one job. One.

Thats the thing too, if these games aren’t 10/10 masterpieces they are food. A lot of these companies are trying to use black characters as shields

I am

I still don’t believe it lol. You can only blame Ubisoft and their incompetence. A more competent and confident studio. Like a R*, Naughty Dog, or FromSoftware would never fold.

Ubisoft has always folded when it comes to diversity shyt. AC Odyssey was supposed to have Kassandra as the only main character according to the devs, but upper management told them to change it because "female protags don't sell." They tried this again in AC Valhalla by making Female Eivor the canon Eivor and Male Eivor her "Odin avatar." Despite the fact that some NPCs in the game will recognize you as a woman even if you're playing as Male Eivor.

Yup Prívate equity is doing vulture capitalism all across the board and black people are getting pushed on the grenade. Boeing tried to do it too.


I’m gonna buy the game but sometimes I wish this specific game was about the Iga and Koga. Yasuke could still make an appearance because Nobunaga interacts with them sometime down the line.

Origins was proof that cac outrage is powerless. They were so outraged by its success that they started making countless AC rankings, and tried to push the narrative that Odyssey and Valhalla were better.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

If the reviews are on point, I plan to buy it.

For real. Origins is one my favorite AC game. I made thread about it years ago

Also, Alfred’s secret study after completing the Order of the Ancient sidequests basically makes female Eivor canon as well.

They should have just went all in on it since it was planned IMO even going back to Syndicate with Evie.

Depends on the reviews, if the MAGA base is happy about it then I'll pass.

Alsom Alfred’s secret study after completing the Order of the Ancient sidequests basically makes female Eivor canon as well.

Female Evior was always canon even before the game came out via the novel. Her name is Evior Varinsdottir which means "daughter of Varin". It was clever using Odin's high DNA as a way to play as male Evior though.
