It's worth noting with the Vimm's Lair situation that the takedowns are super inconsistent. The entire GameCube library is still up, a bunch of 1st party franchises like Smash Bros. haven't been taken down, and it's super weird. I feel like Nintendo would be more thorough and brutal. It feels like whomever filed the takedowns just looked up phrases like "Mario", "Zelda" and "Pokemon" for takedowns and hit send.

Lmao, stfu. Elden Ring on Xbox still requires 20-25gb on top of what is on the disc and people don’t seem to care. Not saying Ubisoft shouldn’t go without criticism, but seeing people consistently go after another corporation and then relentlessly defend and ignore FromSoft in spite of how unfinished they release most their games (horrific frame dips mostly) is just out and out pox.

What irks me with PS+ was Sony's abrupt introduction to the tier system and their respective prices which was eventually followed up with a price hike of each tier. I just want to play online with family & friends whenever there's a game we're all into but I don't want to pay $80/year for that option. Sony should implement a 4th low cost (I'm thinking $30-$40 or less a year) tier that is more budget friendly that allows folks to play online + upload cloud data and that's it. No "free" ability to download monthly PS+ games.

Everytime Hi-fi Rush gets brought up now, it's just a further reminder what could have been with a Switch port. But I guess we will never know what could have been with that.

@scar7545 Shinji left Tango, there absolutely no evidence they would make an evil within 3 or another ghostwire. Secondly, Microsoft has 40 studios and could have other studios make hifi rush if they want. EA and Microsoft are nowhere near comparable just because both have shut down studios. It's simply an overreaction. Why do you only care here? Will you boycott GTA 6 because Take-Two shut down two studios and laid off devs?

People seem to forget the that Bill Gates wanted to enter the gaming market to take over the living room with a Windows device and the Xbox was that Trojan horse to do just that. Microsoft was never interested in gamer first long term strategy, rather they wanted the entertainment all in one Windows based device in each room, didn’t mean it would be their hardware but eventually licensing their OS to other vendors that would use their hw to run a version of Windows and gaming was just the quickest way to have it adopted by the traditional family that couldn’t afford a PC.

[@itchyisvegeta]

Now you have different playstyles that muddied the whole assassin's theming, and at the moment giving some extra liberties on real people like Yasuke that may or may not be plausible, but its definitely inspired by the tall tales that he was a true samurai than a retainer.

Ubisoft has ruined the assassin's creed name.

[@Pslamist]

Clone Wars was a fantastic game and a core memory for me, but I'm still bitter that you couldn't use the invincibility cheat with a friend in the co-op endurance mode, as you had to defeat each other every few rounds. Great idea, slight oversight, personal problem; all still great memories.

The GBA SP was my first console I personally owned. I was super excited to get it for Christmas after enjoying it with my family's monthly Blockbuster visits, as well as after playing my older sibling's GBA for a while. They traded some crazy valuable Yugioh cards for that.

[@Matanumi]

I always saw SP as the game changer design wise- it was the be all end of of portable design. Nintendo carried a folding design all the way to the 3ds XL and we could see it again with the next Gen switch.....

[@NickConant10]

With Assassin’s Creed & Yasuke, I was also under the impression of him being a DEI character but after doing some research, Yasuke was featured in other games & media prior to now like he was in Nioh 1 & 2 as the Obsidian Samurai & in Samurai Warriors 5, he was also in some comics based on Japanese history that released in the 2010s so Yasuke is an actual historical figure but we’re not told or shown different races mixed into certain cultures when we learn history. I read that when Nobunaga Oda first met Yasuke he thought he was covered in dirt & forced him to take a bath & was shocked his skin remained the same.

12:25 the problem is that it won't be well handled, we all know that it'll be a stupid EDI-thing, rather than an actual compelling story. It's not inclusion if it's not genuine, this will be just another cynical attempt at a tick box exercise.

Can one now buy yachts with ESG scores? A black samurai now, then the irony of calling it “Shadows”. The Japanese should feel something was stolen.

[@blackrahk2037]

Yasuke was a black samurai during time of Oda Nobunaga. He's was brought over by the Portuguese. That was real you can look it up. Its well know to Japanese people. There is even movie in production about the subject. The historical accounts of how he was received in Japan are hilarious and fascinating. You should really look into it.

I don't think anyone has an issue with black characters in that sort of setting. Everyone loves all the black characters in Naruto and Bleach for example. I think people are just upset that they shoe-horned in this when it obviously should have been a japanese dude. You could have had someone way more prominent like Date Masamune or something. I get its fiction, but it's just a weird feeling. And I'm black too.

[@NuiYabuko]

And those black characters in Naruto or Bleach aren't "shoehorned in"? Why is that? Why is the line drawn at a black samurai from history and not a black ninja who raps?

[@1Onsokumaru1]

@@NuiYabuko because 1. He wasn’t a samurai. And 2. kishimoto isn’t saying Naruto is real history. If you don’t see a clear difference between having actual diverse characters and shoehorned DEI entries, then I’m not sure how to explain that to you.

[@starship_01]

[@buchiklop110]

As a little tip when pronouncing Japanese names in the future: When a name ends in "suke," assume the "u" is silent. So, for example, "Yasuke" is pronounced "Yahs-keh" not "Yah-soo-keh." Technically it's not entirely silent, but Japanese people do not emphasize the "u" in those names so you can only hear it if you listen really, really closely.

[@chad9166]

Lol no. The Japanese don't utilize English pronunciation when saying English words, you shouldn't do the inverse.

[@Boss_Fight_Wiki_muki_twitch]

While it prolly is DEI meddling; Yasuke, while not a samurai, was a vassal. In other words, a man who received land from a feudal lord in return for homage and loyalty. _A black man was taken on as a vassal by Nobunaga-sama and received a stipend. His name was decided to be Yasuke. He was also given a short sword and a house. He was sometimes made to carry Nobunaga-sama's tools_ _The black man understood a little Japanese, and Nobunaga never tired of talking with him. And because he was strong and could do a few tricks, Nobunaga took great pleasure in protecting him and had him roam around the city of Kyoto with an attendant. Some people in the town thought that Nobunaga might make him as tono_ (a lord) source: the italicized passages are from the records of the Society of Jesus of Japan, where wikipedia got the info/

[@JJAB91]

Yasuke was a rather minor and historically irrelevant retainer, essentially a bag boy for Nobunaga for a mere 15 months before eventually leaving Japan and falling out of the records entirely. Modern people have twisted and distorted the actual history so much to make him seem far more important than he ever was, its insane. He was never this big deal people like to claim he was.

[@ToothpasteJuice]

So he was a jester that got the feudal treatment before leaving Japan about a year later.
