  • 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.




  • Because I want Ubisoft done with I am tired of hearing their cries.

    Yes, if you really wanna go there Ubisoft does deserve shit for putting a black man in a Japanese creed when every other AC game featured historically unknown natives to the lands (main characters, not the overall cast) they were in and having him fuck the empress is incredibly disrespectful to Japan. Not to mention it’s a bit weird and specific that Ubisoft keeps including the fantasy of cucking the king in their games.

    This wouldn’t matter if Ubisoft wasn’t so disrespectful and shitty. Playing Yasuke in a samurai game is an interesting premise but making that an AC game feels wrong and so does letting him fuck the empress. Ubisoft choose to be edgy and disrespectful instead of good and with this game and their reputation is only getting worse.
