Then why Yasuke and not Musashi or someone who was more interesting and significant to Japanese history? They couldn’t have chosen a more DEI Samurai.
That said, putting it that way does feel more racist than I like even though it’s a funny way to put it.
It is and I’d like to thank Ubisoft for that.
Not just AC 3. Eivor is Norwegian. Arno is French. Ezio is Italian. Bayek is Egyptian. Literally none of these MCs are well known historical figures until Yasuke. I can go on. All of them are either natives or local enough to fit in the setting.
I don’t disagree it’d be interesting to have a Yasuke game but the concept doesn’t fit AC like it would in a sequel to ghost of Tsushima or a Samurai Champloo game. It feels unnatural and forced to use him in AC because he’s a foreigner in Japan. It’s a dumb choice not the smart one more than anything else. Like if in the last AC we played Eivor as the apprentice to Bayek in Baghdad not just played Bayek. If the Samurai was white I’d complain about that too just to have an excuse to shit on Ubisoft for being anti consumer.
Also to be very fucking clear, this attack is not racially motivated. It’s motivated by the fact I am a gamer with a stupid amount of hours into this hobby and I have been treated as a cash cow to be put out to slaughter by this particular game company. That when I buy a game I should own it and it should work. That an update shouldn’t be able to delete full screen mode from the menu just to invalidate enhancement mods and push sales of a fucking remake.
I would agree that my outrage is misplaced if I didn’t see most people as cowards unwilling to take down bad companies for the greater good because they trade independence and privacy for convenience and money.
Then why is Yasuke the only AC character I have issue with and not the other popular non white assassins like Altair, Bayek, Aya, or Basim?
Fuck off creeper.
I’m using an outdated Samsung headset with the windows mixed reality portal. It’s UI is so far superior to Oculus I have I may repair it for another decade rather than upgrade.
Interesting. Sounds like I could play everything I like except Rivals.
Interesting. What about Epic? (I don’t like them but free games are free games and I have a lot)
VR and steam, for now.
Nope. I may wrong but that’s the premonition I get just because Islam has promoted global jihad which will piss off a lot more people than not in the coming decades. Furthermore it seems to me Muslims aren’t supportive of girl authors like the west is.
Fair but if they did a random Japanese samurai and not Yasuke this would’ve gone over a lot better for them. This aside, until Ubisoft expresses gamers should own games I won’t buy or play any Ubisoft titles on principle and I don’t think anyone else should either. That the people who’d play this anyway and defend Ubisoft are just supporting a company whose death would benefit all gamers.
