I like how it shifted from:
– Only Westerners dislike it
– A small minority in Japan dislikes it
– Canceled Tokyo game show
dont forget all the cash grab racist AC games like AC china/india/russia these people have history minimizing Asian cultures for over a decade
Ubisoft is a private company. Leave them alone. If you don't like the game, there are many options
I can’t wait to play the game. Who cares what yt ppl think? & who cares what yt ppl r trying to force us to think that the Japanese r thinking, so what it’s a game not a history project. Jealousy is not a good look 👎 💩
These dumb AAA devs are going to crash the industry with their shitty games.
It just shows them what there true colors really are what i mean there crazy cry babies if they don't get what they want the woke mob i wish a studio would stand up. To them and give them the middle finger and tell them no don't give in
To fix it they should add a actual playable sumari character give the choice at least or stop attacking fans
Anyone who has a wikipedia account make sure you edit it to piss these history revisionists off
Japan is a country where they arrest people for modifying their consoles. Maybe this is what Ubisoft gets for sticking too much focusing making their "software" which tries to emulate historical accuracy.
The ceo of ubisoft needs to get on the floor in front of every shinto shrine in Japan and beg for his life and apologize to everyone in Japan for his arrogance and greed and then harakiri
I hate Ubisoft’s recent games and what they have become. But also, coming from a nation that was colonized by Japan before, and with Japan actively distorting our nation’s history by continually denying their war crimes, Geisha, r*pe, refusing to apologize and even pay, and even immortalizing several generals who have been convicted with war crimes through their shrine, I can’t help but think, well, Japan finally got a taste of their own medicine (albeit through a very minor thing) of an entirely different shitty organization actively distorting their history and not giving any fcks about it. Japan, the world war gaslighter, for the first time, now, is experiencing being gaslighted. Aaaasnd, im not going to buy Shadows. Even contemplating if it’s worth pirating.
I’m personally boycotting Ubisoft games, not a great loss to them obviously. Lol
. As Asians we take our history seriously like everyone else. Yes you can take creative liberties to make it interesting, but this is egregious.
Got damn can we not have protagonists in our own games, Asian men specifically?
So yeah F Ubisoft for this. I hope their company loses lots of money.
Yasuke was a mascot. If he was a samurai, committing seppuku is not an optional thing. Lol.
Before I was hating the game because of the Ubisoft wokeness, but now I'm looking forward to it, idk, I wouldn't get pissed about it if they just being honest about it and without telling "historically accurate" thing. It's better if they said in the first place that the game will take some fictional aspects of the story with real people in history on it. But NO, Ubisoft stands and affirming that they have it on legitimate sources. They didn't apologized, they more like the ones that got offended rather than apologizing for their mistakes. Making Yasuke a samurai in a game but also pin pointing that they doesn't know actually if he really is, and that's what the fiction story would might apply, but making him gay also was an additional insult for Japanese people.
日本でも「こいつら不利になり始めた途端人種差別問題にすり替えだしたな」と笑い物になってます。特にゲームメディアのダブスタっぷりが話題ですね。
日本の政府はこういった問題で動き出すのがすごく遅いので、日本人以外のインフルエンサーがこの問題を取り上げてくれるのはありがたいですね。
Ubisoft doesn't care about their customers; they only care about money from microtransactions.
Shut up fr im still buying the game, same with Muta Har someordinary gamers
Hope these idiotic decisions cause bankruptcy.
kinda hypocritic of japanese nation to get mad bcuz their representation of any western history figure characters in any anime is crazy inaccurate…
Ubisoft didn't bend the knee to your hate and you are crying about it.
Yasuke was barely even a 'retainer'. He was Oda's novelty jester, someone he kept around to show his prestige and power.
Who cares it's just a fucking game get over yourself
It would be a victory, if they delete this stupid game
I still buy, I am curious how they would represent that character since yasuke is the part of one of the first foreign people to cross Japan
So far we have yet heard the game is getting banned in Japan. I am surprised they still haven’t done so considering how much backlash it received. As for getting it canceled, forget it. As much as it’s true that the game is badly flawed, no one has the rights, not even Japan to get its release cancelled worldwide. If Japan intended to go down to the rabbit hole with this, then they would basically create a precedent that no games can be released unless the subject countries involved in the game approve the releases. Therefore it would also hurt Japanese gaming companies who want to create games about other nations. For instance, Japan also would not be allowed to make games about America, Europe or anywhere else in the world unless the game contents have been proofread by these countries. If Many Americans are not happy with anime featuring fan services, then they should also be allowed to get them cancelled. Does that sound like a good idea to Japan? Lets not make it a lose lose proposition.
I'm so tired of hearing "more of a retainer", please stop using this phrase; there is no need to qualify being NOT A SAMURAI. Plenty of people in history have not been samurai, Yasuke not being a samurai should not be inherently damaging to people's fee-fees, he does not need a classification of historical status to be NOT A SAMURAI. Nobody cares if Yasuke was more of a novelty to entertain the Imperial Japanese court, NOT A SAMURAI is a perfectly fine historical status for anyone who is NOT A SAMURAI.
Ubi is completely unaware that they are making a racist game.
As for the game, if Yasuke was used in a silly fantasy story, Japanese people would not have had a problem with it, but in this game, Japanese people are depicted as servile, and Yasuke destroying Japanese bodies by defeating them and crushing their heads is unbearable to watch. These depictions clearly show the unconscious racist thoughts of the white people who made it towards Asians, including Japanese, and black people, including Yasuke. These depictions should be deleted. And UBI treat Japanese people who disagree with this as racists. Also, the unauthorized use of images of important cultural properties in this game is still unresolved, so it will become a problem in the future. How much will they anger Japanese people?
Also, since the issue of Thomas Lockley's falsification of Japanese history was exposed in this game, the issue of Yasuke has now shifted to that. This is why a member of the Japanese House of Councilors is investigating the game. People who don't know about this call Japanese people who criticize it racist. It is unclear to what extent the incorrect image of Yasuke has been spread overseas by Lockley's book and the anime based on it, so any depictions that reinforce this should be removed.
先日のパリオリンピック開催式のギロチンで斬首されたマリー・アントワネットの演出を見て、「あぁ、これは『当時の日本では斬首で死亡するのが一般的な死因だった』という発言をしたことに対するフランス人なりの自虐なんだな」と理解して草生え散らかした。
平和の祭典であるべきオリンピックであんな血腥い演出を平気でするなんて、一体どっちが野蛮なんだか。

When I saw the staging of Marie Antoinette beheaded by guillotine at the recent Paris Olympics opening ceremony, I understood that "Oh, this is self-mockery in the French way for making the statement that 'death by beheading was a common cause of death in Japan at that time'" (LOL).
I don't know which one of us is more barbaric to be okay with such a bloody performance at the Olympics, which should be a ceremony of peace.
Ubisoft had sooooo many other options with Yasuke to make him a memorable part of Shadows. Like, have Yasuke actively hunt you as you play through the game and fight against Odas men. Make him an intimidating and lethal enemy that you have to run from whenever you encounter him. Kinda like the Phylake, Mercenaries, and Zealots from the previous games. Only once you have played through the story and leveled up are you able to confront Yasuke. Make him a challenging boss with like 3 stages. He could use a Yari/Naginata then switch to a Tetsubo/Kanobo and then finally a Katana in final stage. He could have been a loyal servant of Oda, willing to die for him, bc Oda honored him with a stipend and land. He could have been so cool man.
I doubt I would buy this even as a 'freebie' and I was really looking forward to a Japan AC game. Ubi humped the bunk on this one
Do you ever refer to Asia as "oranges"?
Apparently, in an ACS interview, UBI said that you could cut an orange with a sword, but I don't want to think that he was referring to us Japanese.
However, there are no oranges in the game, and in real life oranges became common much later.
Also, when explaining about a sword, the reference to cutting an orange suddenly came up, so I wondered why it was orange.
😂😂😂😂 dont believe news outlets
People will buy this game in the millions, they shouldn’t, but they will.
「ヤスケが伝説の侍ではない」と言うと「差別主義者」と言われるのはわかっていたので、皆さんが正しく理解して、援護してくれるのは、ありがたいです。感謝します。
“Revolt” 😂 trust me, no one is giving this a second look other than your typical mid-western conservative white American. Yknow…like you. lol
after watching the 2024 France Olympic Opening ceremony, I realized their entire nation has gone mad and we're lucky they didn't make Yasugay a drag queen.
この問題を公平な視点で取り上げて下さってありがとうございます！
我々日本人がこの問題へ声を上げると「差別主義者の白人男性が日本人のふりをしている」と言われ、意見を黙殺されます。
こうやって日本人でない方がこの問題を発信し、私達日本人が問題と感じていることを紹介してくださることに本当に感謝しています。
本当に心強いです。
共に戦ってください。
From what I understand, the creative director for Shadows is a total prick, who has a sordid history of abusing his employees.
So here’s how I see it: the director, determined to meet the deadline, forces the employees to take as many shortcuts as possible. Consequences be damned.
One of their "experts" is an expert on old monks and little boy relations
There was a black samurai, but the game isnt about him and the period isnt correct for when he was alive
If people want to express their vision they shouldn't piggyback onto an existing IP to do so. If your vision can't stand alone without Star Wars, Suicide Squad, Silent Hill, Assassin's Creed, ect maybe you aren't actually making content for "modern audiences".
この問題に触れていただき、ありがとうございます。
日本人は妄想の日本の歴史、文化を否定した。その結果、我々は人種差別主義者と言われた。現代では我々を奴隷にできない。その代わりに彼らは我々の歴史や文化を奪おうとしている。我々は声を上げ続けます。
machine translation
Thank you for touching on this issue.
The Japanese denied the delusional Japanese history and culture. As a result, we were called racist. Today they cannot enslave us. Instead they are trying to take away our history and culture. We will continue to speak out.
I'm pretty sure that 70% of the video game industry needs to be reevaluated I understand what making money means and targeting an audience If you want to target a specific audience like demon souls did nobody liked that game except for a few people who were looking for that game because it wasn't out… Make entertainment industry great again.
Ironically Yasuke himself would be the most offended. He was a Christian trained by Jesuits. And would never have taken oath of a samurai that essentially places the war Lord before all else. Including Jesus. He would never want to be portrayed as gay. He was a Jesuit raised Christian. A Christian! He's running around with a sword killing people a man who only received a short sword for self-defense not a katana. A katana which is only used to kill. The short sword he had could even have been a knife which has other uses. This is a Christian he wouldn't have carried a katana. He wouldn't have been an assassin or a killer in general. He left his country to become a Christian missionary think about that for a moment. That's actually cooler than leaving Africa to be a samurai. That doesn't even make sense. Not to mention he was only in Japan 18 months. Some of those people practice drawing a samurai sword for 5 years everyday before the allowed to use it in battle. Any instantly becomes a master at it and is killing Japanese like I would slaughter a village of Smurfs .. with their own cultural traditional weapon?!
And somehow he neglects to get a family name which is what you get when you become a samurai! And it would have become his first name. Also some would say renouncing his baptism. Yeah something No 15th century Christian would have allowed.
😮
They are now bent on making Japanese people out to be black racists.
Do they not realize that through their misinterpretation of DEI and their own laziness and arrogance, they have themselves lost a great business opportunity to make money and credit praise that money cannot buy? It is foolish.
