Shocker: the Japanese isn't as terminally online as some western weebs

[@NachtKaiser666]

Well, there are "basement dwellers" in Japan too who are just as aggressive, if not more than our own chuds. They're called hikikomori, and you're more likely to encounter an active member of the Yakuza than a hikikomori in the wild. Please note that not all hikikomori are Japanese chuds. Some are just burned out victims of a country that doesn't treat mental illness seriously.

AFAIK, Japanese mainly plays mobile. Console is luxury. and gaming PC is only for weirdos. Is it still like that today ? Also, if they want a good answer, they should interview the ultra-nationalist people. You know, the kind of people who don't even want to be in the same space as them for fearing the air they breathe is tainted with foreign-people air. Also also, this interview has the vibe of that "why not both" interview.

[@---fn7lh]

A 2023 report by Niko Partners found that 72.3% of Japanese gamers aged 6-18 use consoles, making it the most popular platform for young gamers. Parents may prefer consoles because they offer more control and visibility over gaming content than other platforms. The Nintendo Switch is the leading console in Japan. Mobile makes up the largest revenue, which is the case everywhere

that console is a luxury really doesn't smell right, not given both the existence of Sony and Nintendo and their history in the internal market. also, the very abundant amount of home computers made for that area up to the early 00s was this a microsoft paper? they never really managed to breach in with the Xbox...

[@BloodRedFox2008]

Perfect Dark on the N64 is a pretty important game for me, and I am loving everything I’m seeing of this reboot (or possibly a new prequel that makes Zero from the 360 non canon). The game looks like it’ll be a good mix of Deus Ex styled immersive sim, Mirrors Edge parkour, and traditional shooting. I definitely do not like hearing any slander directed at it, especially when Joanna Dark is literally who I got my preferred name from. Also feels so weird people are basically resurrecting freaking phrenology of all things, and making it clear how little they realize face shapes are hardly all that consistent among humans in general. I’ve seen quite a few cis women with sculpted faces to make “sigma males” jealous, and similarly I’ve seen cis men with very rounded, pretty faces that make me envious.

[@greytakerrev7147]

Funny enough Yasuke was in Nioh a Japanese samurai game and was portrayed as a badass companion. This game was made by Koei Tecmo a Japanese company.

[@roguesouleater]

Honestly, I don't like Yasuke as a playable character, though I think he would make an excellent side character. Assassin's Creed has always had you play as a "nobody" from the past who makes history by manipulating events and killing people from the shadows. Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward, etc. all had their names and deeds lost to time until the Animus dredged them back to the surface via their descendant's blood. The players' interactions with historical figures is mostly as observers. We witness them make history (sometimes with our aid and other times right before we shank them.) Naoe The Ninja better fits this role, and I'd rather play mainly as her with Yasuke being an NPC ally like Da Vinci. As a samurai retainer, maybe Yasuke could smuggle her weapons, armor, etc. and provide training for those weapons (like firearms or bombs). He is a foreigner, and while he was brought a slave, he could've been a soldier/pirate beforehand or atleast seen those weapons in action. Hell, he could even support on missions by sniping off screen with an arquebues or jumping in when stealth fails.

[@Rtraywick812]

Yasuke is a nobody according to the people who hate that he's in the game so he's perfect

[@DarkEdge1231]

Yasuke had very little recorded history so he falls pretty close to being a “nobody” protagonist than any other historical figure in this games plus he is this big intimidating foreigner who stands out from everyone else makes it a lot easier for Naoe to perform her actions in the shadows if a lot of her actions are being easily covered behind by this big black dude diverting all the attention and bulldozing everything (and this reflects in the gameplay since he is a brute who is more up front and center). If anything Naoe and Yasuke is more of a much needed evolution of a tired formula that has existed for like 2 decades. Plus I consider Yasuke more of a secondary MC who is more of a support to the main character Naoe.

[@ni9274]

We don’t know a lot about what Yasuke did during his time in Japan, and Yasuke is clearly not supposed to be a stealthy character changing the world from the shadow. Yasuke isn’t like most historical figures since we don’t know what he did in Japan (at least before nobunaga death) so they can make up whatever they want to make him fit inside the world of assassins creed.

Crossbows? First crossbow we know of is from 400BCE in China, it's possible to have existed earlier, as Heron describes a weapon very similar in description to a crossbow called gastraphetes, now, Heron was from the first century CE, but it is a commentary on the 3rd-century BCE engineer Ctesibius treatise on arrow making. Heron also talks about the gastraphetes as a forerunner to the technology that led to the invention of the catapult and Oxybeles which had it's first known mention in 420 BCE and 375 BCE so the only AC where crossbows could be argued to not exist given that we only have contextual evidence that they may have existed around that time is AC Odyssey, because even during AC Origins crossbows had existed for centuries by then, Romans used them, quite frequently in their legions.

[@andrewgreen5574]

I think the culture is generally conservative, just not in the way that is representative in the West. Some of the stuff wouldn't even be allowed here and would result in avenues to sue. Like, they still have overt social conservative positions on pda and traditionalist views on marriage and relationships. The culture centers around status and money as a central theme, more so than in the US. In places like Tokyo it'll be less conservative and more "liberal" as it is pretty diverse and has crazy amounts of adopted foreign sub-cultures, which is kinda cool. I did run into a cr-zy xenophobic nationalist in the Anime/Manga District (I forgot the actual name) who was dressed in cosplay. I was also in a bar where a person was basically cussing about us speaking under his breath in Okinawa, but that was in 2008-ish on a militarized island. By no means was this a majority, though. And most young people just wanted to have fun after work and on the weekends. The more rural areas or isolated bars put up restrictions on allowing foreigners to enter, though.

@Arkay Sorry I deleted my original comment cause I was worried about possibly starting drama even though that wasn't the intention. But you say Xan did speak about the Vaush situation? I gotcha.

It was still a stupid choice to make yasuke the main character

[@RSAgility]

Why?

[@LakinMae5]

I don’t see your logic.

[@ForgorenWolf]

@@LakinMae5 You're being purposely disengenious and you know it. In these games your suppose to be stealthy and blend in, go unnotice. You'd be able to pick out a 6'2'' black man in feudal Japan instantly. In this era in Japan most people weren't even aware that black people existed, they'd be more inclined to think he was some demon.

[@TheSonOfDumb]

All you need to do is look at the Japanese versions of the trailers and see the overwhelmingly negative reaction of the Japanese customer base. Kabrutus' video was poorly executed because randoms on the street will invariably give lukewarm reactions and few of them will even play PC games at all.

[@Danny-mp8dq]

You mean the comments with English usernames, white men in the profile pictures, and that all literally start with "I'm an American but". That one?

[@TheSonOfDumb]

@@Danny-mp8dq It's not hard to sift through the foreigner comments. You can also check the less popular Japanese gameplay trailer where there are less foreign comments. The general tone is offense and disgust. I'd link it here but the KZbin moderation AI thinks all links are spam.

[@LordOdio]

​@@TheSonOfDumbyou really think japanese gamers would be mad about yasuke, a guy that is a zillion different japanese games as a samurai..or are those white westerners pretending to be japanese

[@PeixeKing]

I looked through the comment's section of one of the Japnese trailers, and read some of them using YT's translation. They were all easy to read and made sense in English, maybe too much sense, considering that sentences in Japanese have a different structure from the ones in English, the kind of sense that isn't achievable by using an automatic word for word translator, like the one on YT. Almost as if they were first written in English and then badly translated to Japanese, but I guess I can't be sure. Also, yes, PC gaming isn't very popular on Japan, but AC Shadows isn't a PC exclusive, as far as I know.

[@TheSonOfDumb]

@@PeixeKing Google translate has come a long way.
