[@KlimaVesniBubreg]

@@Blakwoodz so far everything. From a Japanese setting and culture, to an assasin which is also a shinobi (ninja), samurai character (I don't care that he is black because this story is a fiction it doesn,t have to be entirely historicaly accurate), stealth, gameplay, etc...And I have a feeling that the story will be amazing as well. I am not that much of a gamer but AC franchise is one of the best stories in the world for me, and I think that this game will be a huge success for Ubisoft 🙌. I love your channel btw 💪

I hadn't played a video game for about 10 years, until I saw the AC Origins 🪔trailer in 2017. So what did I do, bought an Xbox one, ofc! Haha, I just had so many awesome memories w AC on the 360 and as a HUGE history buff - especially ancient history, it was a no brainer. I still don't game very much, but it's a great option, especially the last week, we have been snowed in. If you bought a ps5 tho, why not consider giving Ghost of Tsushima a try?

I personally think the real reason for the delay is that it makes everyone ignore the recent allegations of abuse within Ubisoft. Every time these allegations come out, they do something to take our focus off of that and make us mad with something else. Overall, I really hope this game does turn out great. So now we're back to waiting two months for launch.

A few weeks ago, endimyon reported on a leak script from.the customer service of Ubisoft; in that script says that the reléase date of shadows was on March. Meaning that it was always their plan to reléase the Game on March and that 02/14 was just a placeholder.

It's pretty obvious that this would happen since they hadn't opened pre-sales yet, but seeing that the delay is only a month, I don't think it will happen again.

It's good that they're postponing it again (but not too much anyway), if the teams need these few extra weeks it's for the good of the game AND the players. Better for it to be delayed than buggy to the bone. What Marc-Alexis Côté says is very encouraging, Ubisoft is listening to feedback and it's a very nice step forward. Journalists and influencers will be able to play Shadows next week, this is very good news and it will give Ubisoft time to improve (without crunch), so this delay is good news and it's a good strategy in the end

[@gemelwalters2942]

Let's be real...no successful AAA game relies on youtube and twitter feedback for their launch. It's mostly trolls and grifters on those platforms. Elden Ring didn't do it, not Wukong, not Last of US or God of War. So this whole "talking to the community" thing is just corporate speak for we need more time. I wished they just said that instead of the roundabout statements as if they're still on the investor call. The delay isn't bad, they should have just given themselves that time when the first delay was announced. This is just sloppy communication. I'm still hopeful, assuming the game doesn't suffer from the same post modern socio-political trappings.

[@mastereap2168]

Unexpected my ass anyone who payed attention knew this was gonna happen a mile away😂 despite what this email says it’s full of crap. The main reason why they pulled it back another month was because of all the other games that were coming out on February. Ubisoft knew if they released their game on February, It would just basically be the equivalent of a fart in the wind. No one would probably buy it due to kingdom come deliverance 2 and also monster hunting.

[@dajonjones]

The game is not terrible or bad just because a historic black character is on the game. I know they’re looking for feedback and all of that but some games all our lives have bad outcomes or good outcomes and they make it better even if Ubisoft is trying to like wait for good feedback they might get it and they might not get it. It’s like they’re not trying to get their feelings hurt over a new game that’s coming out that they delayed the second time just for feedback over what they created plus I already paid for pre-order edition that I am honestly like waiting for and I can’t wait for the game to come out I hope that Yasuke and Naoe are still in the game plus I pre-ordered the hidden blade on my birthday last year and I’m still waiting for that, besides historical character can’t just be and won’t be the problem over delaying a game that everyone keeps thinking it’s just a historical character calm down there’s no need to go all ballistic over black characters y'all wasn’t like that when origins came out or when assassin three came out.

The people who detest Ubisoft have never invested even a single minute into their games. Some of them don’t even play Ubisoft games, yet they relentlessly criticise their titles. They remain perpetually dissatisfied with every game they release. Their behaviour is consistent, as they consistently trash their games in reviews, on social media, and through sales.

I personally think this isnt a bug or features delay this is the Devs listend to criticsim shifted ass and worked hard. This is the marketing realised "Oh Shit the game comes out next month and we've been sat on our ass the whole delay" type of delay. Im open to other opinions or any other info that might change my opinion. Bottom line the delay is fine aslong as the end product is quality and good and devs get paid and keep their jobs

[@CrazyAmerican24]

They should scrap the game and remake it although Ubisoft probably don’t have the money to that.

[@gemelwalters2942]

The whole going with a "Japanese" character is a tired argument at this point. It's a silly argument that has no basis for a successful game. What would the story be? The same as Naoe? In which case why would they need her and then the game just becomes a Ghost of Tsushima clone. The whole point of Yasuke being there is the outsider perspective that he brings. Ok we need an outsider for the story...so the question becomes, should they have used a white character. Why is that more acceptable to make up a white character who was not there than a black character who was. Anyone with a modicum of creative talent can understand why Yasuke is being used. The complaints about that are just childishly ridiculous at this point.
