He was a real person indeed, his history however has been near entirely fictionalized.

The person above you also does make a point still that you ignored, if other AC games have always had the main characters be usually the race of the area the games setting is in, why did shadows suddenly choose different? And why does it matter if the person was real or not? his race still is not the normal of Japan during that time.

OR what? would you be fine if Assassins creed africa had a white dude as the main character? There have been white people in Africa as well you know?

A lot of previous ACs dont have native Characters

So then you would raise no fuss if assassin creed africa had a white english dude as the main character?

You complain like this on the Nioh boards about that game too, right?

If the story justified it (which the AC Shadows story absolutely does for Yasuke) then no, not in the slightest. Bring it on.

^Off the top of my head, the last AAA game featuring a set black protagonist I can think of is Deathloop. Which was great, and Colt was a great character (and race was never brought up at all in that game), but that was also three and a half years ago.

uh that game was also a complete and utter flop by the way

So was Shadows, so there's that :)

Considering they only showed PLAYER numbers and not SALES, yes. And the fact that Tencent now owns 25%. Doesn't exactly scream success.

The funny thing is, Oblivion remaster just came out and it practically ROLLED the AC shadows and DA Veilguard COMBINED in player numbers on steam.

Keep in mind, Bethesda also has their own shop, and the game is on the gamepass.

TES games are a big deal. Who knew?

Yeah well, so is supposed generational success of AC: Shadows, isnt it?

Just pointing out that the argument of being on a different platforms is not as bulletproof as many people trying to make it here.

There is the case of a different platforms, yes. But if the game is a massive success, it should be successful across all platforms.

Oh and yeah, it didn't have any marketing or promotional campaigns. Hell, didn't even had a release date for a while. Still rolled them both.

Shadows is still the second best performing title of the entire franchise. AC was never anywhere near as big as Elder Scrolls, and Oblivion was beloved to an incredible degree. The fact it outsold Shadows was a given and has basically no bearing on how good or bad Shadows is, or even how good or bad Oblivion is really. Nostalgia's the primary sales force behind that game.

Sorry for being mean, but there were no new Elders scrolls games in like what, decade? It is NOT a mainstream game, unlike AC.

Nostalgic? Sure. But its now far less of a franchise than AC.

Second best performing day 1 sales isnt that much of an indication. So is the last metric of 3 million players. Even counting it as copies, that isnt a lot.

And then again, the Oblivion remaster had 0 marketing. It just popped up in stores just like that. And popped off immensely.
