Black Samurai that kills native Japanese, are the devs out of touch?
A Black Samurai that kills native Japanese people, are the devs out of touch of recent events and Asians general stance against other races? ubisoft basically kicked the japanese population in the balls with this one...?

Like someone else said in the reviews, they basically made a Johnny Somali Simulator while trying to be Woke...

Report them and move on.

Can you explain the bits about the nose too? For some reason I doubt that person will explain it them self.

If they made him a non-playable non-samurai character everything would've been fine.

Since he's a blank page in history, they could devise any fictional story for him, including being a villain that slaughters Japanese people on Nobunaga's orders and then gets a redemption arc.

I desire historical Japanese accuracy in my political figure killing simulator set in the a virtual world accessed through one's ancestors memory locked in their DNA. Without it western society will crumble.

Every game is fiction.

Still fiction isn't the stance ubisoft takes while doing games.

Historical datas are always respected to empower the lore and the universe the character grows in.

They basically said : Come and learn japan's history.

So no, your point isn't valid.


Ah, yeah, like the completely historically accurate fist fight with Pope Alexander VI in Assassin's Creed 2 to stop him and the shadowy conspiracy organization he lead known as the Templars from gaining control of an ancient precursor race's golden ball and using its magical precursor powers to rule the world.

Historical fiction sticks to history only to a point, at which point it diverges from history to create the fictional portion of the story. And Assassin's Creed has been historic fiction from day 1. You are a couple of decades late to start complaining about it now as a believable cover story to hide the fact you are just racist and hate seeing black people from history getting acknowledged as existing.

Racist opinions don't matter

That's where context and the story comes in. But you wouldn't know about that, would you? The story actually explains everything and it's well done.

Why is that a bad thing? In Just Cause 2 you play as a Mexican who invades a North Korea like parody country and cause non-stop Murder and Mayhem from start to finish. Nobody complained about that. Oh, and spoiler, there are some Japanese in that game you can go after too.

Or if we want to stay on ubisoft only, farcry 2 a white dude going after a gun dealer and diamond smugglers in africa "mostly black's with ak's and rpg's" lol... These people aren't serious, every single one of them is following the trend train trying to collect points and clicks on their slop tubers of choices poor biased takes. Why the whole "gay black dude" arguement falls apart soon as you mention the canon mode. Which if they understood what canon was, it is the way the story etc is portrayed as the original intent disregarding player choice. Which funny enough in that you don't choose dialogue options nor have any of the romance options involved, period. That's why the arguments always devlove to "oH yEaH HoW MaNy CoPiEs HaS iT SoLd???".

We're locking this thread as it has devolved into non-productive argument. Thanks for your understanding.
