[@constantinebratanata]

I appreciate you consistently have the reasonable take. If everyone acted like you, the gaming community would be so much better. I wish everyone acted more like you when it comes to these games controversies whether its Stellar Blade or Assassin's Creed. The discourse should focus on the gameplay and the monetization. I wasn't interested in this until I saw you could play as Yasuke. I probably still won't buy this because Ubisoft has a long proven record of messing up Assassin's Creed gameplay-wise anyway. I personally recommend Ghost of Tsushima on PC which just came out yesterday. It's almost everything Assassin's Creed tries to be minus the ancient aliens conspiracy, social stealth, and most of the monetization bs. All the "discourse" going on motivated me to actually research things so I'll paste what I've written elsewhere from my findings: It's pretty obvious the complainers are just being racist when there's literally a playable Shinobi often depicted on the same promotional material next to Yasuke. While kunoichi are questionable, Wikipedia doesn't offer any explanation about the evidence presented in the bansenshūkai. In addition there's the main playable characters of Ghost of Tsushima, Rise of the Ronin, Like a Dragon Ishin!, and Sekiro all within the span of almost 5 years if you did want to play as a Japanese guy. Ghost of Tsushima is literally just Assassin's Creed gameplay but better minus the ancient aliens-esque conspiracy. Funny how the game published by "woke" Playstation that just released on PC yesterday is more accurate in that aspect. In several of the Assassin's Creed games, you're not playing as one of the locals such as in Revelations, Black Flag, and Valhalla. Ezio Auditore didn't exist at all. The Order of Assassins ceased to exist in the late 13th century and never used the iconic hidden blade. The blade itself is entirely an unpractical rule-of-cool fiction. Where were these people when Battlefield 1 had most people running around with submachine guns. As an actual Asian guy, where were these people when Scarlet Johansson was cast as a Japanese-speaking Japanese security agent with a Japanese name working for the Japanese government in Japan? I seem to recall them being on the other side telling me to shut up and that I didn't really care. Meanwhile there's literally evidence Yasuke both fought and received a samurai's stipend specifically. People need to think about the word retainer and what it means and why it's being used. A retainer is someone whose services would be retained after a conflict whereas a conscript would return to their life when their term is expired. Sure, at one point he carried Nobunaga's sword, a position of at least equivalent importance to Ranmaru and of much greater importance than the shoe-caretaker position Nobunaga's maybe more noteworthy follower, Hideyoshi once held. I don't know about you but I sure would have to trust someone a lot to let them carry my weapon. Would someone with as much martial success as Nobunaga really need to retain the services of somebody with the "strength of ten men" and who was significantly larger than the average Japanese person in order to simply carry his sword? Boy, I wonder how Nobunaga would have Yasuke prove his strength and what military purpose would Nobunaga have for a skill like that? Would the man who managed to unify Japan really think that carrying a sword was the best way to use someone like that. When samurai emerged, it wasn't a social class, it was a job someone did. It only became a social class later. It was only formalized in the mid-sixteenth century, decades after Yasuke's time. People need to stop thinking of samurai as just eastern knights that needed to be "knighted". There is already a lot more complexity and nuance that gets overlooked by popular media and general audiences. There is literally a thread of r/AskHistorians on this you can find and read. It's a tightly moderated subreddit that doesn't just let anybody comment unless they can properly source their claims. There is also literally an article with a photo of a retainer's armor by the Pitt Rivers Museum of Anthropology and World Archaeology which looks exactly like the stereotypical samurai armor including the iconic helmet. It also literally says a retainer was "usually a samurai providing military services." Sure, let's listen to people literally trying to rewrite history on Wikipedia. /s At best detractors can suggest there was a small chance that maybe he wasn't a samurai. The evidence and subject matter experts however generally agree that he probably was a samurai. There are literally descendents of samurai on twitter wondering what our deal is. This isn't even the first depiction of a black samurai. Yasuke is in Nioh! Afro Samurai as a piece of media exists. Nagoriyuki from Guilty Gear, the "noble vampire samurai", has the occupation of retainer.

[@Rtraywick812]

[@margapickni7075]

That makes the most sense. A lot of the complaints this trailer received seem pre concocted.

[@flamingburritto]

The problem is that in a game set in Japan, with Japanese culture, Ubisoft chose to make the MAIN CHARACTER an African man. This would've been less of a controversy if yasuke was there was an NPC samurai, the problem is that the protagonist of a Japanese assassin's creed game, isn't Japanese. there would've been similar backlash from the other side if the protagonist was white, especially when the documented proof of there being Caucasian/European samurai is SUBTANTIALLY higher. that would've still been a conspiracy. Only dfference would be that the people supporting yasuke, would've been against that and would've called cultural appropriation. But for some reason, its okay because its Yasuke. PS: Japanese people aren't happy with this either, and i totally understand why.

If they really want use historical character, why not Hattori Hanzo, He legendary Samurai/Ninja at that timeline but they won't because he not fit today politics.

[@e3vL1]

They picked Yasuke bc his backstory is vague and is a foreigner. It's better to have a fish out of water protagonist so players can explore the setting at the same time the characters does. It also contrasts the other lead character who's lived in feudal Japan all their life.

[@shevek5185]

​@@e3vL1yep, the same reason why a lot of media gets inspired by William Adams, and in the case of Yasuke you have a relatively unexplored character with a very interesting backstory and that gives the writers a lot of freedom to fill the blanks. Btw, Yasuke wasn't a court jester LMAO

Then it won’t seem like it was content that was part of the game already just snipped and called dlc. I agree with your take on all of it and I hope people talk with their money.

I'll just do what I always do with Assassins Creed games. Wait a year or two for the ultimate edition to be on sale for $30. Now the rest of this is more of a response to all the people citing a lack of "historical accuracy" in the comments: Guy, Assassins Creed has always been woke. It has always taken people on the fringes of society and made them greater than they were. Ya'll just weren't pissed off about it 10+ years ago. To take an obvious example, I don't remember a huge fuss about Mary Read in Black Flag. They chose a queer, cross-dressing woman pirate to be the main Assassins Brotherhood contact. Yasuke fits right in with everything they've been doing for over a decade.

something tells me ubisoft is for sale after that one i dont think they can take much more in terms of flops

[@hisdudeness1835]

I agree with most of what you said. I did pre-order the game though. Here is why: I played every single AC game and I enjoyed them all. I know Shadows will be at least similar enough to the previous games so I don't need to see gameplay. If Capcom would've opened up pre-orders for MH Wilds after the game awards I would've pre ordered as well, because I know I will like it. And since I'm pre-ordering physically I can cancel the pre-order anyways if the gameplay reveal does sour me on anything. I don't interact with Ubisoft's MTX really, I just buy the game (going for Collectors Editions if the physical extras are cool to me) and play through it. If the DLC later on looks interesting I'll buy that separately (unless I went for a CE like I did with Origins becaus it's included there anyways). Like I said, I agree with you and think it's important to speak your mind on that. But just like you said it with the whole Yasuke controversy, I personally don't care about the MTX myself because I never interacted with it and don't plan on changing that. I just want to play a franchise I'm invested in eversince the first game because I love the games despite the shady business behind it. If I wouldn't care about physical goodies like figurines and artbooks would never go further than buying a standard edition and what you showed in the video is definitely why. 40 bucks for a season pass we know nothing about plus an extra 20 bucks for cosmeticsy a photo mode filter and 5 skillpoints... it's disgusting.

[@D00MTR33]

Its like i told you on stream, i used to like Ubisoft back in the PS3/360 days with the Ezio AC, Far Cry 2 and 3. They made great games without any BS. Then they saw EA making billions from MTX and figured "we can do that too". I love ancient Greece and Egypt and was so excited about origins and Odyssey. Was a bit disappointed by origins and hoped they would change with Odyssey. They did, but unfortunately they changed for the worst. Most AC fans wanted one set in Japan around AC3-4 days a decade ago, when we didn't have a lot of open world samurai games. Now we have a lot and some are much better that what i expect Ubisoft will deliver to us going off what they delivered before.

There's always an "extra" mission, some exclusive skin and some weapon or skill. EA, Activision and Capcom did this back back in PS3 days, Ubisoft, Square and other companies started doing this in PS4 days. Now most companies are doing it and it's rare *NOT* to see it. Pre orders used to make sense in PS2 days when we only had physical releases and there were chances of actually not getting a game on the day of release (i remember people being salty that there weren't enough copies of GTA 3 and San Andreas). Now there's always enough copies and you can buy a digital version. Pre ordering doesn't make any sense for the consumer, its just helping the multi billion dollar company make more money.

[@simondelavega1938]

Im gonna say this. The premiss of AC game have never bee realistic what so ever but they have revolved around historical events with some insparation from real figures. Ubisofts problem is that they started out with realism in the way gameplay mechanics work, i.e., character combat animation parkour to compliment the classic playstyle of being an assassin, however after origins which marked the first time they implimentsd RPG elements to a game they also diviated away from the classic playstyle of being am assassins which shows franchise inconsistency, but because the concept of being able to play as descendants from the past stems from everything in the game being a simulation, that also gave headroom to retcon having realistic aspect in the game not just combat but elemenets influencing plot a d now newer player who started with origins onwards have a set example of what assassins creed is but older fans also have examples of what an assassins creed game should be. And i also believe there are people who dont mind this shift in franchise but aside all that its the scummy buisness practices of ubisoft that turn people away because its not just about buying a game a single time anymore, but contents split and hidden behind season passess and paywalls.

Fan's of AC and Japanse lore will play the game regardless. AC always does cinematic trailers for launch of every game.

First part made no sense ruri lol honor an family are big in Japan, so of course he'd send his daughter to defend

[@rurikhan]

Why wouldn’t he go instead??!!!

[@Grubkiller35]

@@rurikhan okay you got me there. So the reason they had her go is cause that's who we play as. But yea, your right

[@ZhaneBadguy]

The real problem is that Ubisoft games are pure and utter garbage. No matter if it was a japanese or black main character. But hey its only 130$ for the full game. PS. And Jason is just cheap tool.

[@EmpShaddam]

Ruikhan I’m OK with a game presenting a black samurai as historical fact but I find it weird sending my daughter who is a train shinobi to go handle a ruckus or to see what’s going on and then I also find it weird in a game where armor weight has never mattered now all of a sudden it’s a Fine Line but I draw the line this far no further at the price of the game because how they have been doing their games for the last 5 to 10 years now all of a sudden it’s a big deal. Yes, they have been taking missions out of the game in La Panini down to pre-orders going all the way back to brotherhood and people have bitch going all the way back to brotherhood meaning they’re not going to change it Ubisoft is not fromsoftware Ubisoft is going to Ubisoft only now there a woke company

[@jhr0628]

I will buy the game when it’s 50% off

[@ericjoestar1065]

there are literally thousands of games, that are better than anything from Ubisoft. why buy it at all?

[@chrispalmer6804]

i wouldn't buy the game even if it was $10 lmao

[@leoncca]

That's the spirit, caralho!

[@vitorrejano670]

Thank you very much for this video Ruri, I really needed to hear it

[@116f11f]

3-day early access is good because I can cancel my order if I didn’t like after watching KZbin 😂 I never buy anything extra. I just hope the game is actually good 😊

[@Kardiack8Arrest]

Watching this one on KZbin. $130 ultimate edition is insane.

[@lorddrifter7296]

We talk about mtx like this is something new. Either dont buy it or buy it. Vote wit ya wallet. Havent they always had dlc missions? And if someone dumb and wanna pay for early access....shit let em. Ill wait the 3 days

[@Spectacular_Insanity]

The last time I bought an Assassin's Creed game was Origins, but the last AC game I truly enjoyed was Black Flag (AC4). I'm done with Ubisoft, most likely forever. Their games are mediocre, anyway. I'd rather play literally anything else.

[@theq80gamer]

Let's wait for some gameplay footage. I agree the marketing with Ubisoft sucks. I am wondering what engine they are going to use, Anvil or Snowdrop?

[@poiyut]

For some reason some of your recent videos are not showing up on my subscriptions feeds

[@MrSpiderspider12]

SUPPORT INDIE DEVS AAA companies can do what they do now because of legacy and having rooted comunities in their franchises The only option, and I really mean THE ONLY OPTION, is move to greener pastures AAA became a bootlicking shareholders/investors b@#ches

[@proggz39]

The main playable character has a huge impact on the enjoyment of a game. For example, the Horizon series is pretty good but playing as Alloy makes it borderline unbearable for me

[@nyxeliana5247]

While I think the whole Yasuke thing is really dumb, why make an AC game set in Japan only to not make it a Japanese character, you know like every other AC game ever. But the real insult is the monetization the Ubisoft is trying to get away with in these SINGLE PLAYER games🙃🙃🙃

[@ashercubid9848]

So done with this garbage. We gotta stop supporting these trash practices. Last AC game I played was black flag. Guess I’ll keep that streak going.

[@highwhen]

They used a character to meet today’s western standards to skirt away from criticism of their predatory monetary in the game. Count on having in game purchases to pop up as well. Ubitrash….

[@BeenNoticing]

Geez tell us how you really feel Rurikhan.😂
