- Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at the new Assassin's Creed Shadows and as someone who's been in this game franchise since it's inception, I'm a tad worried at the route they're taking this and how the franchise needs more cohesiveness and return to form. Thanks for watching!

Remember guys, it's always morally correct to pirate Ubisoft games
It's morally correct to pirate any game. If you end up liking it, you buy it. That's the deal and I don't see any problems with it. If your game is good, people will pay for it. But the customer deserves to see if the product is worthwhile.
Add sony and EA to that list too
"Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!" - Edward Kenway
...or not play their games at all.
Correct, but I'm not going to bother. I don't play a game made by ppl that hate me, even if it's free. Ghost of tsushima is on pc, I'll be playing that
Ubisoft should be comfortable with us not buying their games.
It's almost seems to be their goal at this point. They just want everyone subscribed to Ubisoft+
Assassin's Greed
Borrowing*
But that’s not what happens at all. People do buy the games, and they are one of the most successful franchises of all time.
But they do well in sales
Nothing hits the same as playing AC Brotherhood as a kid and Ezio lifting up his fist and suddenly an squad of assassins fall from the sky and kill your enemies.
And dominating multiplayer using actual stealth kills while all these kids ran around brawling with each other. You could get like 4 blended hidden blade kills in a whole match and top the leader board blended as an NPC. Was so good.
@@KeytarArgonianlol I completely forgot about ac multiplayer.
Back then most single player games came with some sort of multiplayer.
Those games sucked
AC BROTHERHOOD WAS PEAK UBISOFT
@@Rich_P_Anya u like battle/season pass in AC games ? great taste my guy
I still remember being part of an Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 'Secret Society' that Ubisoft used to run where you'd help 'spread the word of Assassins Creed' (Free advertising) months before its launch, you'd do tasks like make custom posters and digital art and give them ideas and you'd collect points to cash out on actual PHYSICAL rewards/merch like an AC Hoodie, T-Shirt, by just basically participating, everyone got the game for Free mailed to them just for advertising AC1 and AC2 for Ubisoft. The website names were 1191AD and 'LiveByTheCreed'. There's probably not a lot of information on these sites anymore, they stopped existing and have been lost in time. They were the times I loved and trusted Ubisoft and its a memory I'll hold, especially since I was the 1st place winner in the 2nd Site and won a Sony VAIO laptop before Sony discontinued those.
I have a vague memory about "LiveByTheCreed". Congratulations for your win!
Assassin's Creed ARG 🤔 Nice
I stopped playing AC since Brotherhood. I miss the original Ubisoft days like Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. This woke shit is outta hand!
@@28Vandals "Maria Narcissa is a boat"
@@SyamDaRos-EndoManno Thanks, it was a crazy memory for sure. It was something like me and 2 others were basically tied for the Top 3 in points, but the other two quit, if I recall they told me one was due to School/University and time restraints so they forfeit and let me win and they gathered various prizes, and the other person said they REALLY wanted the surround sound speaker reward and went for that. I still have a few videos and photos I kept from back then. Damn fun times. I was a teen at the time without much money so winning a $2000'ish laptop was like a miracle to me.

You know what Edward also did? Started having better judgment and morals after his meltdown. After joining the Assassins, he eventually stopped being a pirate and went back to Britain with his daughter, Jennifer Scott.
You clearly didn't finish the game.
Lol, true! Because nothing says Caribbean like a Welsh protagonist
@@zod4365You had Freedom Cry for your racial accuracy game stop trying to change history the golden age of piracy was filled with European who had no other way to live a proper life you literally have to study 8th grade history to know this
@Aman_Mondal lol, 8th grade in America, right? You're right! It's FILLED with so many options. You're proving my point, lol.
They haven't even released any gameplay, yet they want us to pre-order. What Ubisoft is becoming is surreal.
Even more surreal are the people who will preorder without hesitation and buy every micro transaction. Sad world.
Unfortunately that’s everyone. EA did it with ncaa football today as well
just remember! you don't own it. You are just renting it for how many years if allow you to keep it then it will be removed "gamers need to comfortable of not owning their games" as they removed the crew from peoples gaming collection.
Ubisoft (and EA) has been on the decline for well over a decade now lmao
I really hope they don't fumble this. Feudel Japan is something most games set in Japan never explore and this game is finally doing that. I'm being cautiously optimistic about this. I hope the open world is at least lively and not empty.
I still find it fascinating how people STILL get excited over cinematic trailers with no gameplay...especially by Ubisoft
Well, you can obviously still get excited over the concept/premise/setting of the game as shown in the cinematic. But the cinematic will never be an indicator of what the game itself will be. That holds extra true for Ubisoft.
It still surprises me that people still play assassins creed. As a old fan of the franchise. I got so tired of it as time passed. Like he says in the video. There is one or two AC per year. Different from other franchises that you beat a game and wait around 3 years for the new one and get all excited. Every time i beated AC i found out after there were three new ones and i had no will to play it a new one for a while(because like most of people, i like to play other types of games too). How there are some people who still enjoys playing it surprises me.
People are just dumb. They will just buy shit becauee they feel there supposed to
I did with ff16, but that was because the trailer for ff15 was amazing and after I played ff15 and the cinematic are just as good on top of the amazing gameplay. I have trust in square in that regards despite them being a bit woke. But with them trying to go multi platform there is hope and I do hope they fire everyone in their ethics department. So they can continue to make amazing games
Yeah i don't get why people get excited over stuff like gta 6 when rockstar hasn't refreshed their gameplay for 15 years and people still get excited over it....
Remember for the small price of $70 you can feed the 1%'s greed

We do have a Japanese assassin's Creed its called ghost of Tsushima.
Yea
And if you wanna play Ghost of Tsushima at hard mode Sekiro Shadows die twice
@@rlx4059yesss!!
@@rlx4059Sekiro has one the best, if not THE best, sword fight mechanics in gaming history. It’s such a tightly made game that really emphasizes on the “get good” aspect of FromSoft games. In the past you’d be able to brute force your way through bosses by doing some farming and beefing up your character. Sekiro doesn’t let you do that, it makes you learn the enemy’s attack patterns. Such an incredible game, my all time favorite FromSoft title
Rise of the Ronin ain't too bad either.
Just want Sucker Punch to announce Ghost of Tsushima 2 at this point.
That would be big sucker punch to Ubislop.
It'd be satisfying if GoT 2 got announced and people forget about AC Shadows
Fromsoftware annouces Shadows Die Twice 2 too.
YES
@@Zxnightmare898 Don't you call it that. show respect
I think feudal Japan is already played out by now. When everyone was asking for an AC based in Japan about... ten years ago. Yeah, fair eough. Today tho... that ship has long gone
True. I wanted to play as a ninja/samurai back when they released AC2 Brotherhood and have been waiting even after they released AC4 Black flag.
Nowadays we got Nioh, Nioh 2, Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, Rise of the Ronin. All very good games.
They had their chance back then when the market was not that diverse. 😅
Broke: Hating Assassin's Creed Shadows because it has a black samurai
Woke: Hating Assassin's Creed Shadows because it's a DRM and microtransaction hellpit
Based: Hating Assassin's Creed Shadows because Ubisoft hasn't put out anything worth playing in like a decade
Facts
Naw. Based is recognizing all of it as a problem.
@@jaybeam1466how is a black samurai a problem just curious
Woke shit and clear historical revisionism masked as "facts". IRL Yasuke was just nobunagas retainer that got shipped off to india as soon as nobunaga died. This is the first time ubisoft changed an actual historical person this much and made them a playable character. Every other assassin since AC1 was completely made up and they are basically using Yasuke to cover their ass when people rightfully accuse them of pandering. Its like having a game set in ancient ethiopia and the main character is some german dude @@sobbuh3378
you know a game company has hit really low when their games are not even worth pirating
Assassin's Creed Shadows makes you really feel like playing Ghost of Tsushima
Greatest advirtisement in gaming history. How kind of ubisoft😂
I already do play Ghost of Tsushima however I've taken a break from it for a while
just dropped today on pc
Not really since that’s even more historically inaccurate lol😅
You played it already?!🤯
Yasuke travels to Japan and immediately starts stealing and murdering Asians.
What did Ubisoft mean by this?
You heard me boy 👴
Not cultural appropriation that's for sure
I just want to know the real story true to him. With all the Western history revisionists, like with Black Cleopatra, it's hard to get the truth unless you go to the source. I want to hear what a Japanese historian knows about Yasuke instead of a Westerner with an agenda.
Realism part of assassin's creed💀
Maybe they are looking at real world statistics?
I like how he cited messages used by Google translation from weebs pretending to be Japanese when real Japanese pointed out the characters flawed and how the kanji's used are hugely incorrect.
Confirmation bias
tbh i dont think they should drop the sci-fi parts just yet, not until we get an assassins creed future style game, like can you imagine anthem but instead you're trying to assassinate instead of destroy? sneaking onto the ships of the previous race who still live but watch from space. a game using desmond as the animus subject?
would really put all the history of the game on showcase.
I wouldn't trust ubisoft with a used tampon
Out of morbid curiosity, for people you do trust with used tampons what are you having them do with them? This is an oddly specific issue to have to entrust people with.
@ninjimugen I'd assume throw it away, an untrustworthy person would do sum like that bakugo poster shit

@@rivensleyanelas4890 should there be a game that rewrites Hitler as a good guy? Games can F around, right?
@@rivensleyanelas4890 okay, let’s make a game that labels Genghis Khan as a good god-fearing man who fights for human rights, or let’s make a game where the N*zis are actually the good guys who fight for peace and democracy, accuracy isn’t required anyways, right?
Whenever you open a door, you think of the worst thing that can come through that door and then decide whether it should be opened or not.
If we open of the door of “history can be modified to whatever the people want”, we open the door to all kinds of BS, no, thank you very much, no game or media should meddle with history.
Dude Brotherhood was SO good, that was one of the best Multiplayers I ever played. People would be running around getting in brawls and I would be top of the leader board with like 3 genuine blended hidden blade assassinations, with 2/3 people hunting me at any one time. It was so good.
the ceo of ubisoft once said that buying your games isn’t owning them. in that case, pirating games isn’t stealing them
pirate for what? id be surprised if they wont have to beg people to pirate this sloprp

Bro Ubisoft just made this game to cash in and ride ESG cash
Which is ironic since that game is even less historically accurate 😅
^ Didn’t that game get praised by Japan (or wherever it’s based; I’ve never played it) for being historically accurate?

Dying for a new splinter cell
The first sentence is exactly what I thought when I heard about AC in Japan. I wanted that game more than 10 years ago when I was playing Black Flag. Now I don't care at all.
I'd rather give my bank details to temu than screwbisoft
$90 for the base game💀 Out of their gd minds
A game you can't even keep.
I hope this eventually bites Ubisoft in the ass if they keep this up. At this rate, I don't even want a new Splinter Cell if this is the type of quality they're gonna be pushing out.

Ubisoft turned AC from a dope series to a generic RPG.
tried too hard to become something it wasnt and ended up being bland and unoriginal
always has been a generic rpg tbh. AC1 being more linear & with AC2,3 Revelation/Brotherhood, Black Flag, Mirage, Odyssey etc all were generic RPGs nothing was special about them. Some had always some unique features that made the game "special" but thats about it. the core of the game was always a basic RPG. the biggest was prob Black Flag with their ship mechanics & features but thats about it. if u dont believe me go back in time replay them & find out the horrific truth. 10 years ago we had difference experience so the impact was difference when the "series was dope" cuz there was nothing else compared to it. in reality it was always the same.
Yep all thanks to the pile of shit that was Odessy and the even bigger pile of shit that was Valhalla I’m only leaving out origins because to be fair that was a genuinely great game
Not just a generic RPG--it's a snoozefest. There aren't open world games more boring than AC.

@@hydrosmurf-3710 I appreciate, thanks for watching.
They can put it on disc. The online connection is for the microtransactions. We got to the point when you're not allowed to play without micro transaction lure.
if its anything like the crew its so that one day ubisoft will completely kill the game revoking all licences so you need to play a newer game instead of an old one
Never pre order
Or buy Ubisoft games
Pre ordering a game in 2024 is like willingly walking down a dark alley. You're just begging to be robbed.
I miss the Assassin's Creed games where memory is stored in the balls
😂😂😂
Bro this is literally the best comment I’ve ever read
Exactly. Man, those were the days.
2:58 I got a 360 with assassin's creed 2 for christmas that year. i miss that time so much bros😢
if you wanna keep your 'disc' copy, install the game and then when you're done transfer it to a storage drive, then whenever you want to replay it simply copy back to the maindrive, i've been doing that with my ps5 since i got it, obviously it doesnt fix the problem at its core but it does allow you to 'reinstall' the game offline by just copying off the drive, dunno how seamless it is on xbox but on ps5 it works great
I remember a few years ago when Ubisoft said that they would never set AC in Japan or Egypt because it would be a "dismal experience".
No you don’t
@@dustinhernandez-eaton42"You could always do it, but the point I was trying to make was that in the broad strokes and scale of history, that's a theme that's been well-mined in videogames," he explained. "So, Assassin's Creed is one of those games that can take [lesser-known] time periods or corners of the world and make them cool, fun, new and refreshing.
"Feudal Japan would work as an Assassin's game, for sure, but I feel like it would start to look like 'oh, have I played this?' You know what I mean - 'oh, I've been a ninja before, I've been a samurai before'."
Dont worry bro, some of us were alive before 2010 and remember shit.
Jokes on you for trusting what Ubisoft said.
That was said by Alex Hutchinson, the creative director of the most questionable Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed 3. He said this in 2012 prior or after the release of AC 3 and I recall that it was a completely ass statement because at that time people were asking for a WWII AC game. He said that we, the players, “ask for the most boring settings”, and a [assassin’s creed] game “set in WWII, Egypt and Feudal Japan would be a dismal experience”. Yeah I really don’t recall 18th century America to have been done that greatly by him and his team either.

I went to college to study Japanese language, history and culture. I'll never forget the lecture one of our department heads gave use about using online "sources" and the problems blindly trusting them. A guy turned in a paper that started out alright, but then went very far afield. Looking at his sources, turns out he had studied sources discussing a pseudo-Japanese warrior class from a TTRPG.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad
I got into an argument with someone who was discredited sites like Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia. I have no problem being wrong but historically educated people like yourself should be able to tell me what your source is so I can read it myself.

I believe the best mix of the two options would be having a few cities, most likely 2-3, in different parts of the world, with a mission about travelling there for the first time, then using fast travel to get to them. There is no point in spending 30 minutes walking on a boring path past boring places to arrive at a location that is half baked due to the map being too bloated. I also think making actions change the ecosystem of an area could give it more life to the world, like killing a high profile target linked the the government could lead to officials hiring more security and being more on edge, or making riots happen in the area.
In one of the letters of Luis Frois, he says that Yosuke was sold back to Africa after Oda’s death, because they didn’t thought of him of one of them (Japanese or Samurai) so they didn’t reward him with death, instead was sold back to his previous master (sadly after this it’s unknown what happened to him)
And as a lot of Japanese people have pointed out, this is the first time you play as a “historic figure” instead of just interacting with them
Edit: It’s honestly sad, that a company like Ubisoft only uses story and race to pander to people.
It’s not the same as AC 3 where you play as a Native American, because Connor wasn’t real, here Yasuke was a human being that lived and know is just a token for Ubisoft to push their game, a game that’s probably going to be overpriced and buggy.
This is my opinion as a Mexican gamer.
Yasuke wasn't even a slave so he was sold to no master
@@jamretro1336 This is why these arguments are pointless. OP makes a claim the guy's a slave, and at least cited one of Frois' letters. You, on the oother hand, make a counter claim with no source. May as well not even bother to comment.

and its like a chinese guy that sweeps the floors or something but the game would depict him as a Chinese spartan

I started off with Brotherhood and then played 1 and 2 after that. Man those were really good games, especially BH.
Ghost of Tsushima came out on PC so I'll be playing that instead of the ubislop from now on. Also regarding Yasuke, a retainer which could mean samurai, but retainer could also include guards and even Ashigaru, peasant infantry, it seems to me that retainer simply meant someone who was a sworn to a lord, usually involving military service. What retainer does not do is automagically make you a samurai. Ubisoft should just change their name to Abstergo already
Biggest issue isn’t the factual info surrounding Yasuke, its that we’re playing as a real life character. We’ve never played as a historical figure before & it breaks all immersion. If yasuke was the Machiavelli of AC shadows, id be totally down with it.
would be less bad if he wasnt portrayed as a samurai either
@@Gadottinho It could actually work if Ubisoft put effort into it, but knowing them that's a very unlikely thing to happen
I’ve read the comments of the reveal trailer. Largely it’s just racism. I didn’t see any perk clutching when we were playing all those fictional white people.
Playing as a real person ruins the game for you? I mean the game is probably gonna be shit but thats because of gameplay not because im playing as lebron james hairline and it doesnt make 100% lore accurate sense. This is obviously not a realistic game at all.
it's just a game lmao don't play it
"Naoe is focused on stealth"

AC Chronicles China was a nice way of putting a female protagonist in Ancient Chine I feel like. Even though I am not sure about it's historical accuracy, I think that the protagonist there didn't feel awkward or forced.
Wiki recently went about with some ministry of truth revisionism durring this dungfest, kind of expected..
I hate sweet baby as much as the next person but seeing mf’s draw the line in a series about ancient gods and mind controlling objects where you live through ancestral memories stored in DNA worry about historical accuracy all of a sudden is wild
@@xAfroMetalHead1990x Why can't I have my 2015 Kia Rio in my feudal Japan game? Why not just throw in Darth Vader and Rosa Parks?
The suspention of disbelief only works when adherence to the internal logic of the creative work is faithful. Injecting modern "representation" politics into the AC universe is disingenuous and obnoxious.
@@xAfroMetalHead1990xfr. Like I know the game is probably gonna be dogshit, but not because od Yasuke or anything.
Dudes are really ok with fighting the fucking Minotaur but draw the line at wumen and black.
BUT it is pretty funny that every other game had you playing a character who's ethnicity matches the region for the most part.
I heard supposedly Mirage was a testing ground for Shadows since they said they're going back to the roots of Assassins Creed where stealth plays majority of the time. Its..sort of a step in the right direction? But, with the open world games, I feel like there was a lot of unnecessary side quests. However as a fan of open world games, they were alright. But my hopes for Shadows arent too high rn, specially since theres no gameplay. Shadows has potential..but i dunno. We need more information
That's a good point. I didn't finish Syndicate or Origins because of the world and map size. Especially in origins, it was just boring village after another.
Fun fact, Yasuke was also in Nioh as a boss battle called the Obsidian Samurai
That’s not how it goes he was servant but this fan fiction made for folk
Where you play as a white Samurai that saves Japan and Yasuke is still a Samurai but is a side character. Nobody had a problem with it for some reason.
Him being a Samurai doesn't seem to be the issue and him being non-Japanese doesn't seem to be the issue either 🤔
@@MagisterXII because William Adams actually was a samurai. He earned his title of samurai down the line. Dude has statues and a station named after him in Japan. He helped make the navy Japan has today as well.
@@MagisterXII Proof you didn't play the games. Nioh is about a British man sailing to Japan to chase down another British man, and he takes the armor of the fallen enemies around him and wears it. The protag of Nioh isn't a samurai either, he just steals the garments off of his foes dead bodies.
@@Amphidex For fucks sake, read Koei Tecmo's description of him. William becomes a samurai in game.
I have created a secondary game backlog that I have dubbed "the pirate ship", take that as you will.

Same. If it's good, I'll probably buy it on sale. But never from Ubisoft
I don’t even think the torrent edition of this game is worth it. Tbh
Will probably include a couple of miners anyways
The best way to do this, without risking that stuff, make a new email, then make a 1-Month Free Trial to libraries, like Game Pass. If you don't want to use your own card for it, preloaded should work too.
After that, get familiar with a program that can dump the files. With Game Pass as an example, if you can launch it, you can dump it.
Good video. The only details I would mention is that if you look deeper into it, it does look as thought Nobunaga bestowed Samurai onto Yasuke. He was originally a retainer, but didn't stop there. Looking only on Wikipedia which has had 1000 edits due to Shadows is not a good source to use. I'm all for Wikipedia, but look further in all I'm saying.
Secondly, Ubisoft has said that Shadows is going to be the last in their RPG series of AC games. AC Hexe is going to be going back to the original form of AC games, which I'm looking forward to. An AC during the Salem Witch Trials Era..that sounds dope.
I also LOVE the Sci-fi underlying story. It's the only reason I got through Valhalla and I think the underlying plot of Basim, Eivor, and the Norse Pantheon being retellings of the precursors is such a cool idea and premise to tell. Valhalla was a chore, but the parts I enjoyed, I REALLY enjoyed. The brutal combat was good too
Mutahar, I am right there with you. I remember asking for the first Assassin's Creed for my 16th birthday present and absolutely loving the game and I continued to love all the games all the way through Black Flag. Even when they went ARPG, I played those as well but missed the old style and mechanics. Then we get Mirage, they gave us the smaller map but in a setting that is similar to those we have been in already and they kinda went back to the old mechanics but still with the awful enemy turns a certain color so dodge or block mechanics. But from the time I first played AC(17 years ago), just like many on the internet, I had hoped for a Japanese setting and we are finally getting that. Unfortunatley though, I feel like this game is going to be turned into a bloated ARPG like Valhalla and Odyessy.
Hopefully Ubisoft will make a AC game based on Mesoamérica in the Mayan civilization.
But the protagonist is an Irishman. I feel like I’m not properly represented.
Thankfully the protagonist is inspired by a real black sword retainer that lived in feudal Japan
Why Irish huh why not Indian I feel like they don’t get represented enough
So canelo

i'm not giving ubisoft my money anymore at all
Base game is still 70$
1:19 it still looks insane for me, and i am amazed to know this game ran on my pc
My question is whose memories are we experiencing to see these stories
Honestly when they showed and announced that Yasuke was going to be a protagonist, I wasn't mad; I thought it was predictable and disappointing.
Like, Ubisoft has almost 700 years of Samurai history; and out of all the one's they choose... they choose the one that wasn't even a samurai and prop him up like a token and diversity hire character. Which that also seems pointless, because Ubisoft never had an issue with making an Assassin's Creed game with fictional characters of a race and ethnicity in the region they are supposed to be in.
I know right the guy didn’t really do anything for the past 15 months once his master died he surrendered right away samurais don’t surrender usually
same, it's quite disappointing, but it's not like I'd enjoy the game either way, it's ubisoft we're talking about, the game would be shit anyways; but, to make a game with its main themes being japan and its history to have a non-japanese as the protagonist is quite infuriating, it doesnt matter if he was black, white, indiginous, wtv.

@@ConsumptiveSoulhe also did not have to commit Seppuku. This fact in and of itself means he was in fact not Samurai
You also have the Asian protagonist this actually make sense to have him as a main character as well seeing how he is kind of a myth like most of the AC lore.
Online connection is required because of their in-game store, seasonal pass.
hey man you played Fenyx Rising before? Really the only Ubisoft game I've liked as of late and feel like it solved a lot of my woes I had with both the ubisoft formula and breath of the wild
When she says "it's shadowing time" then proceeds to shadowed all over yasuke, i felt that.
I love the part where Ted Bundy shows up in an attack helicopter and shouts *I PLAN ON COMPLETING MY LEGAL EDUCATJON AND I'LL BE A DAMN GOOD LAWYER* to boost morale of Darth Maul.

I don't trust Ubisoft with anything to be honest
I trust that they suck.
One thing though, almost every time when I saw a Western dev created a world based on feudal Japan (either in game or movies), it always uncannily felt like feudal China instead. I can't really point out exactly what it is, but it just felt that way to me.
Because most of the Japanese culture is inherited from China
I wonder if the next video is about total war Star Wars cause that’s the exact same reaction as this
Reminder: despite the revisionism, Yasuke was not a samurai.
and the apple of eden never existed
@bside6859 yea when you have Ubisofts own advertising and numerous game news sites talking about the "Legendary Samurai yasuke" reinforcing something that isn't true and people believing it.
well he is in the game lol i don’t understand why this matters so much
Why are people arguing about historical accuracy in Fiction?
Dawg the amount of times japanese people depicted him as a samurai is enough to feed humanity
When did assassin's cree ever be truly historically accurate?
Id rather see an amazing graphical remake of the Ezio Chronicles rather than any of the new open world stuff

Muta in the dark trying to hide that haircut.
It makes sense Yasuke was a sword retainer. He probably would be called a Samurai for having that job (as it apparently meant servant and even people doing paperwork for the elite were called Samurai). It does not make sense for him to be a Samurai warrior as that would require training from birth. Some Samurai and even a few Daimyo were called "dark", but usually when the Japanese say that they're talking about the Imishi, Jomon or people from Okinawa. Saying that I bet they taught Yasuke a few things for shiggles. They were amazed by how strong he was so they probably taught him how to swing a sword just to see what he could cut, to use a bow, just to see how far he could send an arrow... or for all we know that might have been his way in. Brute force can get you pretty far and most black people I know are somewhat intellectual (even if they don't seem to be). So it's unlikely Yasuke was a Samurai warrior but not impossible.

"probably gushed over metal Gear" yea yes you have my guy
I’ve been waiting like 3 years for the mgs2 video
The main thing I remember from Valhalla really was the smack my bishop side mission which did actually make me laugh. Not too much else though of substance
They could ve focused in the ancient region of Edo,where all the great families lived. its so easy to make it inmmersive and full of action.
There were other options if they wanted Yasuke as an important character, it was totally doable.
They could have had the jesuits be allied with the Templars, and Yasuke being given to Nobunaga as a relay from the Templars to influence Nobunaga. No need to twist the history by making him a samurai, you can keep him as the squire he was.
Then you have the shinobi assassins fighting in the shadows against Nobunaga, ending with influencing Mitsuhide into betraying Nobunaga, in a final mission where you assault the daimyo at Honno-Ji, in the end fighting and capturing the Templar agent, Yasuke, and having him exiled from Japan.
@@daedalron Yeah,something similar to the Shogun show,less map wideness would have given resources to the storytelling and character developments
@@nblastoise4479sadly that’s just not what the casual gamer wants anymore.
I feel like quality of games has decreased because of their increase in popularity. Back when gaming was a niche hobby, devs and publishers had to appeal to their relatively small audience. Now that everyone and their grandma plays video games, the expectations have dropped significantly.
@@g3rdus12 So sad,im 23 and im so bored of recent games,i like
Speaking of Nioh, Nioh 2 had Yasuke as the Obsidian Samurai. He's a minor character, but his appearance in the game is more genuine considering the game's more spiritual tone instead of adhering strictly to historical accuracy. In that same line, Rise of the Ronin looks far more appealing than another Ubislop title.
Samurai warriors 5 ,and senguko basra also yasku
The difference is that Nioh is a dark fantasy re-imagining of that time period, and with that setting they get way more leeway, like kodama, ghosts, spirits, demons, magic weapons, etc. Having said that, even Nioh is a lot more historically accurate, since William Adams is an actual historical figure who helped Tokugawa Ieyasu become shogun in 1600 using guns and weapons supply by the Dutch.
On the other hand, Yasuke only got his footnote in Japanese history _because_ he was black, he was basically a fucking unicorn in Japan at a time when conservative, isolationist politics were at an all time high during the Sengoku period. Besides, the guy wasn't even a "legendary samurai" Ubishit tries to make him out to be, he was nothing but a servant to Oda Nobunaga, and he only stayed in Japan for three years. That's it. A short visit from a random black guy in Japan, who was a nobody and accomplished nothing. Ubisoft: "hE wAs A lEgEnDaRy sAmUrAi"...
@@Playbahnosh how is AC not a fantasy re-imagining? youre forgetting alot. the artist Machiavelli is an assassin mentor. there's demons, monsters, Gods and magic weapons like the Swords of Eden . People complained about those alot and said it ruined AC
You're hung up on Yasuke as it breaks your suspension of disbelief, most people just see it as a exaggeration of history like AC does. there's no difference then pretending like the Pope or George Washington or the historical figures were part of the Templars or Assassins
- Strict historical accuracy
- Nioh
Pick one.
lol assasins creed since the first has been called historic fiction its never been real
Muta, as one of the same cloth I agree 100%. It really feels like the real story died after AC3. It's sad the state that the franchise is in.
Black flag ??? Origins was pretty good too.
Jesus Christ loves u 🙏🏽❤️accept God into ur life
@onlyenzoYT the real story. As in the ones who came before. Black Flag was the first to deviate hard from the present timeline. I enjoyed BF, but in terms of when the overarching story stopped being compelling, it was after Desmond died in Ac3.
Tbh, I personally think they should've just let Sucker punch and the studio behind the Shadow of Mordor/War games work on AC shadow, because they specialize in open world games, and I believe they could make a killer army infiltration assassination based game, aka what AC: shadow is probably is trying to do. The devs behind Shadow of Mordor and War know how to make a good hierarchy system and "spies" in said hierarchy, and Ghost of Tsushima's team aka Sucker Punch have already shown they can make stealth based missions within a Japanese setting.
Btw, the device to look into past and future from the second game actually exists…
Assassins Creed has been shit since they made it a RPG
It was always an RPG I roleplay as an assassin. That's the point...
an* RPG
Totally disagree, Odyssey was Awsome, can't wait for this one...

Yep, comparing the new assassin's Creed games to old assassin's Creed games is like comparing saints row to gta. Also, I hate the way they always find a way to slide in costumes with ridiculous in-game currency prices and dlc costumes and whatnot instead of you know.. actually doing achievements to get them!? Like in the old games?? it feels as if I'm playing a mobile game on my game console lol
AC was always an RPG franchise. They just used to have an actual unique identity to them that screamed "AC" compared to other RPG's.
