Petition to Cancel Assassin's Creed Shadows is Blowing Up

[Reush1n]

Will Ubisoft listen to the outcry and cancel Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Absolutely not.

[Goldias]

Like a petition could stop an AAA game with lot of money invested.

Most they would do is not selling it in japan, if ubi even care.

why would it need to be canceled?

Because it's a trash idea with cringy, somewhat racist overtones.

People wanting to play a character in feudal Japan probably wanted to play someone culturally relevant to Japan. As opposed to "here's some guy most of you never heard of, we chose him because he's black, now here's some hip hop."

Lets play hip hop style music when playing as this specific character bro. Totally not racist

This petition is the solid evidence that gamers (a good portion of them, at least) have become crybabies. Don't like a game? Don't buy it, simple as that.

You mean like in one of those games? *casually points to the pile of hundreds of games fitting your description*

You know that games like you're describing are as plenty as there are fish in the sea, right?

I can compile a small list for you, if you'd like.

Though you don't strike me as the kind of person that's interested in playing samurai games.

Anyways, AC:Shadows is a little bit of a novelty with Yasuke, sure, but there's nothing wrong with that.

We're talking about a franchise that's about space alien technology in medieval times, swords that can fire laser beams, machines that somehow allow to experience memories through DNA...

A franchise that had you have a fistfight with the pope who was using an alien mind control device...

But the hip hop playing when beating the crap out of other samurai as Yasuke is a bridge to far?

Are you friggin kidding me with this?

[ZZZZZ]

Im more mad that the female character is some ninja lady again.. as always

[Angel]

...I'm looking forward to that game to be honest

Ubisoft have already dumped a lot of resources and man hours into it and the game is mostly complete. the petition is not even a drop in the ocean and it won't be acknowledged.

This thread is a non-starter.

You mean the one rambling about "Japanese people who hate it" while top supporters are all white neckbeards with messy rooms? Pfft, I cannot believe someone took it seriously

Same, like to every AC. Never enough stabbing while exploring beautiful historical worlds

[Effigy]

i thought it was "go woke go broke" so why are you guys worried about it getting canceled or not?

Wow if only Shadows had...I dunno...a second native protagonist? Ah, such a shame Ubi didn't think of that.
