Do you have to play as Yasuke? (Question)

[Carne Padre]

Hi, So I had a question I watched a video about Before you buy from Gameranx, and I know there are 2 characters. But its not like Syndicate where they are both the same. They explained they play differently but... watching Yasuke not being able to climb and be very melee oriented as a tank makes it kind of stupid.

I wanna be stealthy and parkour like the other Games since that's the point of the game is to be stealthy climb and be good at everything. So do you have to play as Yasuke? or can you just pick to play as the actual assassin?

Sadly Assassin's creed is the only franchise that is a stealth game so its the only thing in the market right now.

If I remember rightly from a video you can play 90% of the game as whoever you like.

As far as I remember, that sounds about right. Some character specific missions, but a majority of the game being playable as only Naoe.

Then you will play as Naoe, like myself and many others.

I'll be maxing the difficulty settings and playing as Naoe throughout.

Don't worry, you'll have a blast. No fret about their individual stories. There is so much to do in this game that you may want to take a break sometimes and work on your least favorite character for a few minutes. It's only natural. Especially for a completionist.

Worst case scenario, you have a couple of hours of Yasuke under your belt.

And 198 hours of Naoe.

You can play as Naoe for nearly the entirety of the game. This is the first video game that I've encountered where everyone is in a panic over this very question. Customers are freaking out as if Ubisoft is going to force them to play as Yasuke for the entire game.

I've never seen so much hatred for a character and story that they haven't experienced yet. Never seen a video game that includes two playable characters, force you to play as only one. This is why coop is being added.

If there are two characters written into a video game, you always get to choose.

The game won't force any character at you save for just a few missions that are exclusive to Naoe or Yasuke, so you can have your stealth assassin game, I know that's how I will be playing too.

I will only play as Yasuke.

Okay great thanks everyone. Yea Ill play as just Naoe then. I don't really like the idea of an assassin being Melee tanky its literally the weirdest thing ever. They shoulda just made a samurai based game instead.

I hope you enjoy it man!. Based on videos, I like the swift and high mobility gameplay of Naoe looks cool to flip around, reminds me of Tenchu Z.
