Since Sweet Baby Inc was brought up, friendly reminder that the CEO of Sweet Baby Inc told employees of game companies to have a coffee with their marketing team and terrify them with what's going to happen if they don't give you what you want

They're not just consultants, they're one of the main culprits of this bullshite in the games industry.

Diverse characters are fine as long as they are appropriate to the setting. The first AC game had a middle eastern protagonist because that's where the game was set. Origins had an Egyptian protagonist because that's where the game was set. Having a black samurai in feudal Japan doesn't make any sense historically. Japan was a very closed off country to the rest of the world. If somehow a former African slave did wash up on their shore, there were no respectable samurai masters that would train him.

Considering there games are historical in nature, they need to be somewhat believable to reality.

twitter has told me there was only one african samurai, and his name was Yasuke.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuke



eta: what is this series even about anymore? i haven't played any since the Ezio trilogy, and i don't even remember what those were about. something about the beginning of time or something?

You haven't missed anything. Assassins aren't in AC games anymore.

You just love sucking that corporate DEI dick, don't you?

The next AC could be centered on sub-Saharan Africa and not a white person to be found, and you'd be crowing about how authentic it is to the history.

It was way too big and the viking theme, as cool as it is, didn't really mesh with the AC world.


It's a bit telling that when asked about the most recent Assassin's Creed game you completely forgot Mirage got released since Valhalla.

Same. I can just replay ghost of Tsushima unless this gets amazing reviews from gamers and not kotaku and ign. They’ve probably already given it 10/10

There is always Sekiro for regular non westernized cucked game set in Japan that respects the culture.

Also, it’s pretty clever to for them to have the black character to distract everyone’s anger with while they continue to repeat their insane bullshite price strategy to charge $70 as the “standard” edition, that doesn’t even come with all the content. They think they’re really clever trying to entice people to pay $18 a month for their shitty game service.

Ubisoft games are always on sale 3 months after release. They also get discounted many times throughout any given year. If I ever get this, it will likely be for $20

It’s almost like they’re purposely doing it to give the finger to the notoriously racist East Asian countries

Yep, I must be getting old.

I mean, when I think samurai, I think black men and Japanese women.

And for that reason, I'm out.

Hope yall enjoy it.

My favorite part is all the lily white progressive neck beards (male, female, and zir) lecturing the pissed off Japanese about their own history.
