Why is there so much hate towards this game?

[Beautiful Beloved]

Why is everyone so angry, watching the stocks, I don't understand. They gossip, watch the online.

I haven't played the previous parts of the conveyor (Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage, Origins, Syndicate, Unity, even missed Black Flag). I've completely finished the first and the trilogy about Ezio, and I've completed the game with Connor.

I flew into Shadows and am enjoying it. The game gives exactly what I want: fast gameplay, a nimble character, incredible beauty with a ton of particles and adequate performance in the region of 90 FPS. You run, farm, enjoy, there are rare cool moments in the plot. If there is a DLC - I'll take it, cool, 50 hours of fun already!

This is literally what I dreamed about back in 2008-2010, when the first dreamy messages came, but if only there was Assassin's Creed in Japan. They delivered it, made it well and without bugs, I enjoy it.

From what could have been done better: I would have liked a slightly more complicated combat in the format of "Easy to learn, hard to master" and a brighter musical accompaniment. Perhaps the plot could also have been brighter and more memorable.

Quite simply, the incels have nothing better to do. Nothing more, nothing less.

a lot of them are just racist and homophobic... and hating things make them feel better.

As a straight white male, I haven't noticed anything in the game that would stop me from continuing to love and enjoy women. They are still beautiful and amazing, as well as incomprehensible :)

I love my wife and my two children. If the game shows some non-traditional relationships, I can choose whether I want to see this relationship or refuse depending on my preferences.

The beautiful Naoe pleases the eye, and in rare moments where it is necessary, I switch to Yasuke, he really amusingly crushes everything and everyone, without pretending to be historical :)

sounds like you'd really like stellar blade lol

Because weebs (especially on Facebook) will defend this game with their dying breath and will claim that yasuke was a samurai irl, when that was infact all a fabrication made by Thomas lockley to sell his fanfiction. He's in hiding now.... it also relates to how the game claims to be historically accurate, yet not only makes yasuke a samurai, but also the game is part of the assassins creed universe, which makes such a claim BS.

Ontop of all the offensive stuff they have done with the game, one of the ppl that worked on the game writing fanfiction about monks being romantically involved with boys (don't remember who) and using all the above controversy to artificially inflate their advertising, yeah no chance in hell am I buying this. I never played asse's creed, but this game is definitely not convincing me to get into the franchise.

And what is the disrespect for Japan in the game itself? The region is shown, a potpourri of characters and various events too.

Well, when Ezio beats up the Pope in the temple - everyone is having fun, but how did they slightly deviate from the canon - a conflict? It's strange somehow. If I were an ordinary Japanese, I would be glad that a modern game showed his native land and, perhaps, attracted future tourists to the trip :)

If that is the experience you are after, you should play Rise of the Ronin.

Ubisoft failed at making an AC Japan in my opinion. Maybe 10-15 years ago I would be a lot more impressed, but as it is there's been too many good (better made) Japanese action games set in historical times since. Including the Way of the Samurai series and more recently Rise of the Ronin.

Perhaps the biggest issue with this game being that it just continues the trend of AC games that are wide as an ocean but shallow as a puddle.

Well, this is not a historical game and it does not pretend to be, like all the previous parts. All events are made up and based only on real events. It is a cauldron of memes and stereotypes about Japan. And that's great :)

The game creators claimed historical accuracy for this game though. The claim is on them, and the lied out of their ass.

People can hate whatever they want.
IRL literally everything is hated and loved at the same time.
It was always like this, it will always be like this.

Most of them are unhappy because this was supposed to be big hit, almost every AC gamer wanted AC from Japan for over a decade and it was wasted opportunity.

I dont care about the controversy and stuff, like destroying the shrine, feels completely fine to me .. but I care about the gameplay and i have insane issues with the game systems, mechanics etc .. the bad lighting and shadows or unsynched jp audio with lips (it was done for english only) and many more

[.ViViX.]

yall begged for AC Japan for over a decade n now that we have it, suddenly everyone’s a financial analyst instead of a gamer. Maybe if yall spent less time doom scrolling stock prices n more time actually playing, youd realize Shadows is exactly what it promised to be,,fast, fun n visually stunning. If you don’t like it, that’s fine, but stop acting like yall personal opinion is some objective industry crisis.

ACTUAL reasons?

- People hate Ubisoft for the declining quality. Poor treatment of customers. Failed Promises. Games and Remakes shown years ago that were then thrown on the back-burner. Their 'commitment to historical accuracy' Only to piss all over it. A Black character in a Feudal Japan Setting (Whether he existed or not is another issue. People just wanted a Japanese Samurai main character)

- AC games slowly losing their identity. Putting asides if an AC game is good or not. Most old Titles were more thickly built up. Vertical. Had heavy reliance on Climbing walls, scaling towers, diving in and out of alley's. Blending in. Rarely was it down to outright combat and brutality or Straight forwards stealth of sneak from one enemy to the next.

- Climbing game budgets while the quality dips. Be it Bugs, bad AI, Terrible combat/Effects. And Micro Transactions. Why the hell are there Micro transactions in a Single Player game.

- Then there's Ubisoft spitting in the face of japanese History-

A lot of people's issues aren't specifically aimed at the GAME. More at Ubisoft themselves.

Ubisoft said people should get comfortable not owning games.

People said Ubisoft should get comfortable not earning Money.
