The Truth About Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Gamers Exposed

[cypher]

It’s honestly embarrassing watching so-called “fans” trip over themselves trying to justify their irrational hatred for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Let’s be real—this isn’t about “historical accuracy” or “gameplay concerns.” It’s the same tired cycle we’ve seen before: a loud minority melting down because the protagonist isn’t another generic white dude.

The game looks absolutely incredible—gorgeous visuals, a rich historical setting, and finally, the stealth-action blend the series was built on. Yasuke being a playable protagonist is a breath of fresh air, and let’s not pretend that the existence of a Black samurai is some unbelievable fantasy when Assassin’s Creed has been stretching history for years. But no, suddenly now people care about accuracy? Give me a break.

Let’s be honest: the real issue here is bigotry. The same people who whined about female leads in Odyssey and Valhalla are back at it again, desperately trying to frame their outrage as a “genuine criticism” when in reality, they just can’t handle a non-white main character. If this was some cookie-cutter European setting with another hooded white guy, we wouldn’t be hearing half this noise.

The game is shaping up to be one of the best Assassin’s Creed entries in years, and the people seething over it are just proving how fragile they really are. Cry harder.

What do you base your claim that we're racist on? Because we don't want Yasuke as the main character because it would have been better to have a native Japanese character as the main character, like all the other ACs have native characters from the regions where they're set?

1. Firstly it's a game, see it as that, and not as some "history simulator".
2. Secondly, not all AC games had native characters from the regions that they were set in. Ezio for instance was a disendant of Altair. And to more recent AC rpg games, Alexios and or Cassandra were "demi-gods" descended from the first civilization that most of the games depict.
3. It's up to you to judge the games after you played them.

This is the best AC game so far!

How many of them you actually played and how many thousands of hours you have invested in them?
This game is not about AC at all .. story is weak, combat is weak.

It is worse than gacha games and its monetized as a mobile game .. which is a bad move considering many people are working adults with families and kids who can play 15 hours a day dont have money.
It is released today, so the technology behind it looks good, for taking pictures, it is a good looking game.
For playing, not so much, below average.

How is it false? Maybe in some AC I'm not familiar with, but from what I understand, in most ACs the character is native to the place where the game is set.

So a Viking is native in England...?

are you saying vikings have to be native, to not have settled or lived there during their period of time?

A generic White Dude in Feudal Japan as a Samurai????? How would that be Historically accurate?

How about a Japanese Samurai in Feudal Japan? How about an amazing Ninja, Male character, inspired by a Robin Hood Ninja of Japan?

I looked up a list of legendary ones and found that there was a Robin Hood style Japanese Ninja "Ishikawa Goemon".

Yasuke was a retainer. Not a Samurai. It is incredibly bizzarre that Ishikawa's amazing life story was passed over for a retainer that left Japan after something like 6 months?

how is a fist fight with the pope while he wields a magic sceptre historical accuracy

I don't even know why I bothered, but here we go again... it was Ubisoft who tried to sell not only Yasuke as a supposed legendary samurai, but that they would make Shadows as "historically accurate" as they could, then they had to retract it, basically they lied shamelessly, we don't need a historical simulator like you say, but we shouldn't tolerate being lied to our faces over and over again like Ubisoft has done with Shadows.

this is a moronic take

its nothing like a mobile game, not monetized like a mobile game, and the assassins creed aspect of the story is just as prevalent as other games

As I said, I don't know all the games and their protagonists, but as far as I understand, most of the main games have their characters being native to where the game is set. If not, what I assume is that the story would indicate why it is where it is and it would make sense.

Just like how it makes sense in this Game then.

Yes, when the bar is "a boring open world collect-a-thon with extremely mid combat that is so bad that people actually bought the XP boosters Ubisoft was selling (in a single player game) so they wouldn't have to engage with the combat any more than they were forced to in order to finish the story", its no surprise this is one of the best Assassins Creed entries in years. Its hard to squeeze under a bar that is literally laying flat on the ground. It had nowhere to go but up, and somehow, it barely did even that.

This lack of improvement after this many years would be impressive if it weren't Ubisoft, a company who has built its brand on reveling in its own mediocrity for the past 2 decades.

Messaggio originale di Dr. Peppermill:

Buy this trash first, then write essays. Stories about owning it on Epic or PSN won't work.

I reserve the right to mock people who have terrible reasons for not buying it despite the fact I am not buying it myself on the good reason grounds of it being riddled with microtransactions and crap like that.

Every big company potetianly lies at a point of their careers. So, there's nothing new to see here. It's up to us if we boycott them or whatever. If you think though that Ubisoft has done us wrong, wait and see the big flop with electrical cars just like Tesla's cars.

I have no fuc--king idea. What is known is that Yasuke was a slave, Nobunaga turned him into a retainer, and he left Japan in less than a year (if I remember correctly).

Then Ubisoft comes along and says, "I don't like this, and it doesn't matter that we said the game will be as "historically accurate" as possible. Yasuke will be a legendary samurai, with the possibility of making him gay. We'll have a shinobi, and she'll also have the possibility of being gay."

I don't know the rest of the game's story, but I doubt it'll be much better.

P.S. I'm not the one defending this piece of crap.
