I cant stand playing as yauske

[VikingOfTheCloud]

I wont even switch to him to collect his character specific items because he is so cumbersome and horrible to navigate the world with, anyone else in the same boat?

I only switch to him for his missions then immediately switch back to Naoe

Nah, I like how cumbersome he is, it compliments Naoe's nimbleness. His thing is being hyper specialized into combat and expecting anything else from him is missing the point because you should be playing Naoe for that anyway.

You get used to him. He can't climb buildings pretty much but he's just fine for everything else and his combat is amazing. He also moves through snow faster than Naoe. =)

[Dodece]

You'll get used to him once you start using him in the right ways. I have come to adore him when it comes to storming castles. With his bow he is easily upwards of ten times faster, and he is very much a must when it comes to killing skulls.

Makes sense... he isn't even a Assassin in a Assassin's Creed game.

[Baba Bomba]

He,s doing great, got m pretty good upgraded and use him as my bulldozer.
Works very well on alot ocasions
I don,t care if not really Assassins Creed or not, It,s the gameplay that counts for me , and that is great!

He is, by far, the worst thing about this game.

He has none of the skills required to play Assassin's Creed.

That's why you'll never see Ubisoft Canada attempt this experiment again. Sticking an unskilled thug in an Assassin's Creed game.

First time that I used him I couldn't get into a fort because he can't use ropes. I got stuck in a doorway because his spear and arrows got caught on the door frame.

Never used him again after that. Unless they forced me to do so in a quest. Which is the only reason that I continue to upgrade his gear.

With Yasuke it feels like I'm babysitting a reject. With Naoe it feels like I'm playing Assassin's Creed. I won't even use him for his minigames or catacomb challenges due to how problematic he is.

He's a downgrade in a game where your 90-dollars is otherwise money well spent.

Every time that they force me to use him it's a facepalm situation.

He is for a different play style which is not what I play an AC game for. So for me Naoe is more fun to play, but when I'm tired of stealth and slow clear of a castle, Yasuke can be an option to just walk in through the front gate and slaughter everyone.

[Flaccid Snake]

I love his "Oh lawd, he coming" sprint, but ya, Yasuke is kind of lame to play. It feels like he's only meant to be played in short bursts.

The guard at the gates seeing yasuke sprinting in his direction: "Oh my god. He is gaining SO MUCH SPEED."

I like him as a change of pace. Sometimes after you've stealthed up 3 castles in a row it's nice to just run in and engage with a moderate-to-good combat system and clean it up in 10 minutes.

I'll still around on Naoe generally, but sometimes I find I swapped to Yasuke to dust a castle and keep playing him.

I also find his story more compelling than Naoe, generally. His vengeance quest against his slavers is cool, and generally my favorite parts of the story is Yasuke dealing with prejudice.

At best, he's a suitable replacement for Naoe; some of the highest viewpoints are inaccessible, but he can parkour to most of them if you're clever.

At worst, he's completely inoffensive save the ~1-2hr total it takes to run through his personal quest (which rules).

I use him for the mandatory bits and nothing else and immediately switch back at the earliest opportunity. I want to play as a stealthy assassin in and Assassin's Creed game. If I want to be a god tier brawler I can always play things like Doom. And with the right build Naoe herself can become extremely effective in combat so that she can easily handle any duel or any mob.

At my point in the game, if I feel like it, I can just waltz in right through the front gate of a castle and start to murder away anyone without even attempting to be stealthy. Guardians? They too stand no chance. Only that Naoe can, if you want to, immediately go stealthy and grapple up some roof or lie down in the grass, whereas Yasuke is a one trick pony.

This is one of the most baffling gameplay decisions in an AC game ever. Yasuke, the character, is fine, as is his story, but as playable character he is just horrible, in the context of this being an ASSASSIN'S CREED game. And not something else.

The problem with using him in castles are the bells. You pretty much have to sabatoge the bells unless you don't care about being wanted. I do feel like he was included for the subset of gamer that likes the leeroy jenkins aproach to combat.
