There is NOTHING wrong with this game.

[skyrimschosen]

I can't pinpoint the exact reasons people have issues with this game since it goes against the terms of service, so I'll express this instead. I find it immature to hide behind fabricated excuses for disliking the game. It's clearly untrue that anyone here is offended on behalf of Japan, as no one can specify what exactly the Japanese might find offensive.

Is it his sexuality? That shouldn't concern you either. So what if he is gay? It's 2025; most people have moved past that, except for those who are stuck in the past. Is it because he doesn't align with the game's setting? That wasn't an issue with Nioh.

My main frustration with the gaming community here is their inability to be straightforward about their objections to this game. We all know the underlying reason. You were never genuinely interested in the game, even as it approaches THREE MILLION players and counting. Why can't you just allow others to enjoy what they like without making a fuss?

Edit:Okay maybe the game is a little buggy, but there's nothing wrong with Yasuke as a main character.

Why do you want Ubisoft to fail so badly?

yeah, I can answer this for you:

- Ubisoft was one of the first companies to release a Triple-A game in a buggy, broken state (Assassin's Creed Unity) during a time when Triple-A games were mostly bug-free

- Ubisoft has pushed for NFTs in gaming not once (Quartz), not twice (Ezio statue NFT), not 3 times (Champions Tactics), but 4 times now (Captain Laserhawk: The G.A.M.E.), all of which failed and only scammed the few clowns who bought into it, but this doesn't mean they aren't going to try for a 5th time. They didn't learn from the first 3 times, they aren't going to learn after the 4th.

- Ubisoft deleted The Crew from people's libraries on Ubisoft Connect. They then tried to delete it on Steam, but Valve rejected it, so they pushed an update that deleted all of the files for the game for anyone who downloaded the update. "the servers were shut down, you couldn't play it anyways" except that there was a toggle (non-functional, but they could've updated it) for an offline mode and this is also ignoring the fact that people who want to play the game will reverse engineer the servers if Ubisoft doesn't give them the servers anyways

- Ubisoft Connect is a platform that exists purely to hold your games hostage so they can delete your games if they don't get their way. Deleting The Crew wasn't for nothing, it was a direct threat towards gamers and a test to see if it would benefit them in any way to do so (launching The Crew Motorsport shortly after deleting The Crew to see if deleting older games would push players towards the newest releases)

- Even ignoring The Crew, Ubisoft has more recently deleted DLC from Assassin's Creed Revelations and delisted the DLC, making it impossible for new players to 100% the game without pirating the DLC. Assassin's Creed Black Flag's DLC, Freedom Cry, is also broken, being completely unavailable unless you download someone else's save file and encrypt it to your UBISOFT CONNECT account. And just for good measure, Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered's DLC, The Tyranny of King Washington, is so broken, you cannot make progress in it past a certain point because the game fails you for completing the objective, and there are reports of people having their main game save files deleted by this broken mess of a DLC. ALL 3 GAMES REQUIRE THEIR DLC'S BE FUNCTIONAL TO EARN 100% ACHIEVEMENTS.

- Lets not forget the microtransactions in $70 SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. "Just don't buy the microtransactions" doesn't work when they can make the game a slog to play unless you buy the "cosmetics" that give benefits or buy materials, not to mention that playing a game that has these microtransactions doesn't stop them from continuing to put it in other single player games. Oh, and if you think that battlepass is going to stay free, you're either living in lala land or accepting the reality that Ubisoft is not recovering from this

- There's also the classic quote "gamers need to get used to not owning their games"

- Ubisoft also pushed for Generative A.I. to write NPC interactions, because clearly the once-multi-billion dollar corporation couldn't afford to put money into making their games more immersive, they NEED to use this handy shortcut that only makes NPC interactions more stiff.

- Ubisoft has also advertised in their games before, but not much. The biggest one that was silently swept under the rug was in Assassin's Creed Odyssey, where opening the map showed an ad for Mirage. Ubisoft passed it off as a bug from the main menu, but there are videos from Odyssey's launch showing this exact same map ad used for something else, which makes it pretty obvious that this was yet another test from Ubisoft to see how players would react to a full screen ad triggered by necessary mechanics.

You bring up how things like microtransactions are in most triple-A games, and you're right, that is a problem. You know how we solve this problem? By sending a message, by letting Ubisoft die so the rest will know we're done with their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

But if you want a point for why Yasuke shouldn't be the main character, it's simple. Every other Assassin's Creed game set a precedent that "all main characters are fictional" and "the main character of the game is a person from that country/region". Yasuke is a real person, and he isn't Japanese.

"So what if he's gay"... unless he wasn't really gay. That's the issue with choosing a historical character as the MC. "So what if he's gay" works if it's an original character. I don't care if Naoe is a lesbian so much. But I would care if AC3 had George Washington giving it to Ben Franklin, because as far as we're aware (jokes incoming, Insert Lenny Here, etc), neither of them were gay.

It's all they can do. Make up stuff and then cry wolf. Looking at the fact you know they show up every time a game gets released that might be controversial you can tell what kinda person they are lmao

[Lucifer Verone]

I mean the issue was using an actual historical figure as a MC in a game, while at the same time changing his history to fit a narrative which never happened. Adding insult to injury they added modern dayisms in the game which barely existed back then. Neither were they that important to be considered for anything. So besides the long list of mediocre that is this game making an actual historical figure as the mc was a bad idea.

Nioh and The Last Samurai are not problematic because they are not portrayed as real people. Yasuke, on the other hand, is written as a "legendary" Samurai despite having no historical basis. Only in Japan, where the issue is seen as a big deal, has UBI removed the word "legendary." This is cowardly and dishonest in order to prioritize their own profits.

Not only that. They removed the word samurai too. He's a warrior worth a thousand lmao

The main reason people can't express why they are dissatified with this game and the reason you are not seeing it is because we are being censored by an echo-chamber of human resources and forum moderators who some of which are unqualified and out of touch with the assassin's creed community. I don't like this game because of its bad voice acting, lack of DLSS, poor steam deck support (which the game page says it has) micro-transactions inside of a single player game, and its price tag as a whole. The prime minister of japan himself said that this game is butchering its history, and I see their point.

I'm voting with my wallet, by not buying any ubisoft title. The mainstream video game industry caters to the minority now and impulsive buyers for their loot crates. The game developers that were in power have been replaced by mostly soul-less executives and investors who probably haven't touched a controller since the game cube.

I don't care if so and so is gay in a video game, it is the fact they are disseminating and changing an actual historical figure to fit a modern narrative which is either 'black washing' 'woke washing' or 'blue pilling' history through 'reimaginations' or 'removing cultural apropriation from video games.'

Nah, saying there's nothing wrong is a bit of a stretch. I am finding it to be enjoyable, but it still has the trademark Ubisoft open world bloat that always causes me to get kinda fatigued halfway through these games, the story also seemed intriguing at first, but I'm disappointed by how they handled the relationship between Yasuke and Naoe. They're both pretty decent characters individually, I especially like how Yasuke is written, the way they portray his struggles to adapt to Japan's politics and culture, his past prior to being taken there is still a bit of a mystery that I imagine the game will touch upon later, him building relationships with the other Oda characters who react to him in a variety of ways as well, his remorse for raiding Iga and killing innocent people, it was pretty easy for me to empathize with him as a character. Seeing these events from Naoe's perspective also made me empathize with her without much issue, despite the weird pacing and the wonky storytelling jumping between different points in time without following a chronological order, which to me doesn't really feel like it serves the narrative in any way besides making things look more complex than they really are, but whatever.

What I found to be disappointing is that after the Honnoji rebellion and Nobunaga's death, Yasuke meets Naoe again and he confesses to having taken part on the Oda's raid of Iga and personally killing Sandayu and apologizes to Naoe, which obviously made her furious as she threatens to kill Yasuke, but then Junjiro interrupts and says that if Yasuke is a monster who deserves to die, then she is as well, because one of the guards she killed was actually Junjiro's father. So she apologizes to him, he says he has already forgiven her, then she just... forgives Yasuke and they're buddies now. Like, what? Really? Simple as that? I was expecting to have more conflict, some development leading to them having a good relationship eventually, him having to work harder to earn her trust and compassion. Like, girl, this guy was one of the people responsible for ruining your life forever, come on! That, and so far the story has also kinda slowed down to become the typical AC thing of "go to place x, investigate, get clues, invade enemy leader's territory and kill (or spare) him" and I imagine it will continue to be like this until I kill all of them besides Mitsuhide, who I assume will be the final boss or something.

As for people whining about gay romance... well, don't be gay, you control the buttons you press. In fact, you're not required to romance anyone, as far as I know canon mode doesn't even have any romance if you have so much trouble not being gay and need the game to remove that choice that you just can't resist picking for some reason.

Well You are right about the connections but Ubisoft is on another level, they still use ''Ubisoft connect login'' for games that they have closed their servers for.

This is a fair criticism, but people also play all the other ubisoft games with less fuss. Why is that?

Literally the only Ubisoft game I've played since Rayman Legends has been Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. You know, an actual good game that doesn't make itself less fun to shove microtransactions in your face so you can bypass the tedious, annoying parts of the game the devs put in themselves. And Ubisoft shut down the studio behind it because it didn't reach sales goals, no doubt largely since they didn't really advertise it at all. Ubisoft went to ♥♥♥♥ a long time ago, at this rate Lost Crown is their swan song.
