Yasuke is actually a fantastic choice as far as history/narrative goes.

A shame the game looks like more generic Assassin’s Creed Mapfucking+Crowd Supermurder.

Which is fine if that’s your thing, but I haven’t been thrilled by an AC game since… well, AC1.

    Ubisoft’s management won’t let them make a good game. imagine getting up tight about the color of the cast and not the mountains of copy paste garbage quests, microtransactions and time padding rpg mechanics.

      It’s insane that of all the things they could complain about with AAA slop, that they pick representation at their breaking out. Not day one, game breaking bugs. Not Microtransaction. Not gambling/gatcha/loot boxes. Not shitty working conditions. Not workplace harassment.

        Promoting the culture war is easier than actually talking about the real problems plaguing the games industry, it seems.

      Ubisoft is that one guy what said something funny once and made that joke their whole personality.

        Yup, basically their entire business revolves around making 2 games: Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed. And they keep remaking them over and over and over again ad nauseam, until even the most hardcore fans of the series are tired and bored.

      but if we don’t make the game a chore to play how are we going to sell xp boosts?

      imagine making deliberately shitty games so you can put monetary value to playing the game less.
