@@ubermaster134 the primary antagonist of the game (and the one who kickstarts William's personal plotline and reason for being in Japan to begin with) manages to summon forth japan's "greatest warlord". Nobunaga is revived from the dead, but he is *very* displeased. After a fight with William, he stops, lowers his blade, and proclaims he's done. Edward is confused and annoyed, but Nobunaga goes on to explain while yes, he's dead, and yes, it wasnt by *his* hand; Japan was *still* unified, and his dream was ultimately fulfilled. The fight was him working out some aggression at him being disturbed from his rest/afterlife with his lover. he peacefully goes back to Yomi, basically telling Edward to fuck off and leave him be, because in the end, he got what he wanted, even if not *how* he had intended or expected it. it was one of the first times i'd ever seen Nobunaga be built up to be this potential big antagonist, to be summoned from the dead as some all-powerful borderline demonic ruler, only for him to show up, barely try (it was a tough fight but he was CLEARLY not going All Out) and then go "nah i'm good."

I'd like to remind everyone that the lore of Oda Nobunaga in Assassin's Creed is that he was an ally of the Assassins and they assisted him in unifying Japan until he found a Sword of Eden, then he became corrupted by its power, and grew increasingly tyrannical to the point that he was put down by the Assassin Yamauchi Taka. Taka himself was a disciple of Master Assassin Hattori Hanzo, because of course he is. Tokugawa Ieyasu also has the Assassin logo on his helmet.

I remember Blue from Overly Sarcastic Productions gushing about how historically accurate Assassin's Creed 2 was. But I don't think he's amongst the majority. The man loves history, so it was natural that he would compliment that game specifically for what it did. To me, the series exists as a way to explore different settings and timeperiods, but I feel setting it in Japan would only go to show how much better other developers have interpreted the setting. Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most beloved games in Japan and they love how they depicted it. And Sekiro's one of my all-time fave games. Ghost's depiction is a realistic but romanticised view of old Japan's enviroment. Sekiro's leans on the fantastical elements, alongside depiction of Buddhism mythos and themes. Both games do it so well I don't feel Ubisoft could offer much new.

Not that it really matters, but just to clarify I was referring to Hideyoshi's failed invasions of Korea with that chat message not the WW2 one as it would fit in the time period of the game. Though those failures were then used by Japan to internally justify the ww2 invasions so I guess it still would logic out that it was the templars all along. Not as fun though so I'm glad they interpreted it in a way that led to more fun riffing.

We really don't have the records to prove, well, anything really beside the fact he did exist, but for all we know Yasuke's service to Nobunaga could have been similar to his stance on Christianity, in that he tolerated it because doing so brought foreign firearm imports, the thing that decisively allowed his conquest of japan.

What’s funny is that the combat of Origins being good, Odyssey being worse, and Valhalla being even worse than that is actually kind of historically accurate in and of itself. In Origins you play as a Medjay, a well trained warrior, in Odyssey you’re a mercenary so your combat is more scrappy, in Valhalla you’re a Viking raider so you just kind of go into battle and hope for the best. Obviously they weren’t going for that but it’s funny to think about.

Honestly there is one thing i hope this game does well, and that's utilize the way the the templars spread with religion. Christian spread into feudal japan with trade at the time was a big deal, that's why the 2 Shogunates after Oda's pretty harshly persecuted it, but Nobunaga set himself apart by tolerating it as a way to encourage foreign trade in his regions, bringing more guns to fuel his conquest. Templars being, symbolically, very heavily tied to Christianity would make this interesting, as Yasuke would have to deal with his own Daimiyo's actions being why the Templars have so much sway where they do, meanwhile the other clans' resistance would make influencing them more difficult.

Everyone's mad about Yasuke when they should be mad about another fucking Sengoku period story. This shit's been done to death. Ghost of Tsushima was about something the average videogamer knew nothing about, so it was interesting off the bat. Rise of the Ronin takes place during the Bakumatsu, which most westerners only know the barebones of. But at this point if you have a minor interest in japanese games or anime, you probably know a lot about the fucking Sengoku period. Why not do something about the rise of the Kamakura and the implementation of the shogunate? Or the Asuka period and the struggles of integrating Buddhism and Shintoism? AssCreed is a known brand, if you just say "Assassins Creed Japan" you could do anything you want, you don't have to rely on the goddamned Sengoku again.

So ya it’s kind of disappointing that we finally get AC set in japan, and the first AC to use a real person as the protag, and they choose some guy that barely has any written history about him who it’s debatable that he was even actually a samurai instead of any number of other well known japanese historical figures that have way more relevance and importance to the setting.

Still will suck and Yasuke definitely was picked for Diversity Points, but the argument that Ubisoft should've chosen an important historical character is weird because they never did that before ever, nor were people asking for it because the in game justification is "well the Templar write the history books so they hide the _real_ cool and super awesome Assassins out of history" (hence why Ezio and Edward aren't known as well as the Borgias and Blackbeard).

(they also had bows, Origins litterally had "Bows as guns" where you had a rapid fire bow, normal charge bow, and shotgun bow.) TBH though I dropped Odyssey because somehow they managed to make the combat clunkier in just about every way compared to Origns . TLDR They beame action RPGs Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.

I'm just hoping its better executed than Syndicate since there was such a gap of writing between Jacob and Evie it wasn't even funny. I think there's a lot of potential for a game revolving around this period of time; largely because you could have two wildly different interpretations of Nobunaga that can meet in the middle but I don't trust Ubisoft to execute it well, if at all. The only game that even sort of nailed it was Samurai Warriors 5 since you got to see Nobunaga's rise from being just the Fool of Owari to the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven and to his ultimate betrayal and death by Mitsuhide.

The issue with Yasuke shouldn't be that he's black, it should be that he's a playable character. Why are we playing as a historical character in an Assassin Creed? Never before has this happened. Yasuke shoulda been the Da Vinci of Shadows, a major ally who can get you in contact with Nobunaga or something. That's always been the point of the Assassins, rubbing shoulders with legendary figures of history and taking part in major events but in a way where it's explainable why they "never appeared" in actual historical tellings of those events. Black Flag will likely always be the best example of this cuz there were so many pirates running around back then, of course Edward would get lost in the mix.

That is the issue, and thats what most people are complaining about. But because pat, woolie and the majority of the people watching this channel are idiots, they see headlines that read "GAMERS MAD ABOUT BLACK MAN" and then just assume people are being racist. They're sheep and they refuse to have a second thought about anything the moment the "right crowd" declare that having those thoughts is racist.

It's cause a good chunk of Yasuke's history is a blank canvas for them to do whatever they I want I guess.

the assassins creed games have always been mediocre why is a historical figure being playable in anyway an issue? nothing is lost by having a playable character be the one who’s “rubbing shoulders” especially considering he was the personal retainer to nobunaga. same game that has mythological creatures apparently has its immersion ruined by a black man.

Strongest argument against Yasuke I've seen yet. Others are still going "but why can't we play the other real Japanese samurai instead tho?" so the point is... softened.

While Yasuke was pretty cool in Nioh 1 and 2, he's a completely unecessary addition to a game about 'assassins' The combat in valhalla was the best out of those newer AC games too. Pat being wrong af as usual.

The problem is that it's obvious why they're doing it. Hardly a coincidence that they break the mold of OCs being the MC of their games, while the "real" people are relegated to NPC quest givers. Or that it's already been proven that there was originally a different character that they replaced with Yasuke. Sure, they're trying to pull a Blizzard and using the pandering to hide their nonsense, but just as many people are pointing out the nonsense price tag as they are the push of "woke" elements. Trying to wave it off as "weirdos being weirdos" just detracts from the fact that this is still a big issue with the industry. Hardly anyone would've cared if Yasuke was an NPC that interacted with the story even if he wasn't completely "historically accurate". Probably could've done something interesting if they focused on him actually being a glorified mascot. Just as no one cared about him being in Nioh.

All of their points are valid, but I just want to jump in to say that they could have been making fun of how dumb AC's approach to alternate history conspiracies is the WHOLE TIME, they're just noticing it now because they're both GIGANTIC WEEBS who know more about Japan's history than most of the rest of the world.

There's a lot of issues with the set up for this. The biggest one I think is the fact its Assassin's Creed. The only time assassin's creed has been interesting was with Ezio because hes the only one that's ever had a personality. Every other assassin MC has been a Monotone boring mother fucker. But I do love Pat's point. Ubisoft looking at the whole of Japanese history just to find any character that isn't Japanese.

Oda Nobunaga is a real historical person who's bio might as well read "He was him." like... to fill a book. I fucking love Oda Nobunaga I love the Sengoku Jidai, I think a Yasuke game is cool, and if ANYONE ELSE WAS MAKING IT I THINK I WOULD BE CHECKING IT OUT. But it's Ubisoft, and I know they don't care about any of this, or any of the historical awesomeness of this period and its people... so it'll be trash. And like you can do the heroic nobunaga game. It's been done, fuck Koei has done it themselves with Kensei III. But Ubisoft? No.
