Assassin's Creed thread

[Sithis]

It's worth noting that Nobunaga's descendants are in the Japanese government, so saying that a nigger fucked his sister is an insult to them.

I'm increasingly convinced that Tencent themselves have been encouraging some of this shit too. Chinks absolutely hate the Japanese, the level of shitting on Japanese culture entailed in this game seems out of place for standard current year retards but Chinese genuinely hate them and bear a grudge for shit done before they were even born.

ACIII's biggest problem was the fact that the entire game felt like one massive tutorial. I remember spending the first 10 hours having my hand held. Even when you get to Connor you have to spend the first hour just being a fucking kid and learning how to stealth in the least efficient manner.

The Haytham part is such a fucking slog because of the map limitation but once you get Connor and get out of the tribal village it's nice because you can take on any enemy in the game at that point. In modern AC you'd have to spend about 40 hours grinding to get a weapon with the right stat or you're getting curb stomped the first fight with an enemy 20 numbers higher than yours.

Remember that they completely ignored making Hanzo Hattori an Assassin in favor of making the only nigger Japan had seen before the fucking 20th century one.

Not only that but they made him a stupid feminist fantasy villain. One of the most fascinating people in Japanese history, somehow who arguably changed the history of the nation, and was by all accounts just a badass dude, and he gets turned into a generic bad guy because MEN = EVIL EVIL EVIL BAD BAD BAD MISOGYNIST BAD (unless black). It's all so fucking tiresome.

St. Floyd was 2020. Regardless, any game that takes upwards of the better part of a decade to make always turns out to be shit as a rule.

Shit yea that's right. The entire 2019-2022 period kind of blurs together in my mind because it was such a fucking shitshow online and irl.

Osamu Tezuka is spinning in his grave.

 

[30+GameOvers]

All things considered, fag shit aside Yasuke is still more respectful nigger token character than Musa in KCD2. Now this is sad right there, what the fuck happened to Western Gaming?

I wouldn't be surprised if this humiliation ritual and emasculation of Hattori Hanzo was just to own le epic chuds because everyone thought that an AnalCreed game where you play as a ninja under Hanzo (keep in mind that AnalCreed Spookz is the first game where you play as an actual historical figure rather than just interacting with them) was what they would do. In fact, according to some leaks that was supposed to be the original pitch for the game. I know it's been said 100 times already but it's crazy how much they've fumbled the bag with this one. Japanese history and folklore has so much pre-existing shit regarding assassins in the form of shinobi and their tales and they have done NOTHING with it, NOTHING! They could've set up rivalries with other famous historical ninjas of the era, have them be working under the Templars. Again, Japanese folklore literally already had a pre-installed rivalry involving Fuma Kotaro of the Hojo clan and Hattori Hanzo, there's so many legends and fables detailing duels between those two guys. They did the equivalent of the ball being near the goal line in a football match with no opposing player in sight but just before crossing it the player trips on his shoelaces in spectacular fashion and breaks his neck when he falls.

Fuck Ubisoft, enjoy bankruptcy.

Sorry, there was only one nigger in ancient Japan so that's who we have to focus the entire game on. Oh, have an anime protagonist with a generic revenge plot that has a vagina too, why not. Have fun climbing those towers and reclaiming districts like in every single fucking Assassins Creed for over a decade now!

I'm just trying to find some logical explanation here, this is even funnier.

I have yet to find a reasonable explanation for this lunacy.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that the creatives making the game are mentally ill liberals completely consumed by their cult ideology, but when you start going up the corporate chain, that's when things start to get fuzzy.

Was leadership simply clueless and out of touch? Are they also liberal cultists? Did BlackRock et al entice them to sabotage their product for questionable financial incentives?

Several people in the chain of command had to approve all the retarded shit in the game, and stay the course despite witnessing other companies fail spectacularly by doing something similar, and despite months of controversy and PR disasters that kept piling up.

Did none of the shareholders ask pertinent questions and demand changes despite company stocks plummeting year after year?

The people actually creating the game will use excuses like "we hired experts for this part of Japanese history to get it right" and "we have THE expert about this particular historic character and he will assist us making it PERFECT!".

You can obfuscate a lot of shit by using shiny buzzwords. Corpo speak exists exactly for that reason, to have a simple way to signal "we are all ok, we have EXPERTS" to pacify the higher ups.

 

[NeroRisotto]

I think the positive reception that Battlefield 1 got at atleast partly led to this.

That's what happened.

Don't remind me about that game. It really was the first example I can think of, where the dreidel developers just said, "fuck it, shove niggers into it". Then CoD WWII put out the negress nazis... For some reason Yuri B's lines about "demoralization" are popping into my head...

Yeah, but why were none of the higher ups asking if putting a great American silverback in their Hail Mary game set in Japan, that was meant to save the company from bankruptcy, a good idea?

I am sure any sane human with an average IQ can deduce what the costumers want, since it's basically the same thing they've wanted for the past 40 years, so why can't these gigabrain titans of theh industry?

The upper management of these corpos are almost exclusively boomers in the 65-75 age range. I'm sure their involvement goes no further than

"Hey millennial soyfaggot number 9001 did you check with them Jap historians if there really was watermelons and blacks in 1531?"

"Sure thing boss! I checked and they said so!"

"Well ok then carry on."

Because they were simply trying to slip through some thing, hoping for the public to not catch it AND the higher ups are out of touch with the game development and rely on intermediary summaries and reports.

On the artwork team people were also cutting corners, very low quality employees, who simply googled stuff and used pictures to design ingame art from.
This is for example how the official flag of a Japanese historic reenactment group showed up in early game footage.

Nobody other than the people desecrating the Japanese culture with their lazy work, or intentionally bad faith game design decisions actually understand what they are doing.
It would be simplicity itself to misrepresent the role of Yasuke during early game pitches in-house and then later change the scope using "expert opinions" and "market analysis" to justify the move. If you look at the US as the biggest market for the game with the most spending power. Remember, singleplayer online service season pass item shop slop is the Ubislop business model. Now if you go back about ~4-6 years and the woke movement was still very much alive and doing well.

Police was defunded over drugged up Niggers chimping out and getting popped, the nation was crying for the blood of people defending their property against marauding hordes of Niggers plundering and devastating neighborhoods.

Putting a "from slave to epic warrior" storyline into one of the biggest game franchises seemed like an easy score for the woke Ubisoft game devs and to the people owning the studio you can sell it all as "market analysis".

This is why you want your leadership to have a technical background in the product being sold. This sounds like MBAs that bought the DEI=more people coming in means more revenue bullshit. Imagine trying to bullshit Jensen Huang about linear algebra.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

They simply don't care and aren't gamers enough to understand that nobody wanted this game.

 

[30+GameOvers]

Yup, I have no clue how anyone could consoom that slop even without the nigger, but apparently people look back fondly on it. All while shitting on Infinite Warfare too, despite that being one of the better COD games in that era. Normalfags get everything they deserve.

Now that we know about the bajillion billion pajeets that worked on this game, likely cutting even more corners than we even know about right now via AI, this all makes sense. How many times have we seen something that blatantly disrespects Japan as a nation or was so dumb it had to have been a direct jab at them?(ie Anime sword real life collectors item)
It was a clueless pajeet and an even clueless management. Patel no-loo didn't see anything wrong with it because he doesn't watch anime(he doesn't speak english let alone japanese), so he just used the first result google gave him on "Japanese Sword". LMFAO

 

[woduqu]

Here's my take on the "it's optional" defense: I think it's misapplied in a game where you're playing as a character with an pre-established and rigid personality. It's not like an RPG in the classic sense of making a character from scratch and choosing through gameplay if they're good or evil, peaceful or violent, chaotic or lawful, etc. In that context, you can just ignore choices you don't like and they aren't part of your character.

But in this game, there is only the slightest semblance of making story or character related choices and they all conform to the Ubisoft's vision of their characters. So, you could have Yasuke take up Ibuki on a gay hookup in the forest or decide to just be friends. But, in neither case is it because you're deciding that Yasuke isn't gay. Ubisoft decided that he is whether you act on it or not during a playthrough.

It's like being told information about a character's backstory. You might not be acting out that the protagonist of a game used to be a noble lord's bodyguard until he stole from the treasury and fled (or whatever other example), but it's a canonical part of their personality that they're a disloyal thief. So, if you're making an evaluation of whether or not the character is someone you like and want to play as, it's part of the equation.

 

[Spergichu]

I think the positive reception that Battlefield 1 got at atleast partly led to this.

BF1 was still a fun game so no one minded the kraut nogs or wahmen slavs in the trenches. Studios got too cocky though and thought they could shove gay diversity down everyone's throats without making a fun game and it led us to this.

 

[#1 Hot Sauce of Kiwi Farm]

Only positive that will come from this is that Japan might become more Xenophobic meaning that the globohomo money will be ignored as the Japanese will look to the outside world with scorn. Hirohito will rise from his grave and they will drive the western dogs out of his homeland.

 

[FILTH Tourist]

I think it's misapplied in a game where you're playing as a character with an pre-established and rigid personality.

It is misapplied in a series that already has a built-in narrative reason why you can't do things "out of character". In AC 3 for example, if you killed too many animals without skinning them you will lose synchronization (which is a game over) because the character is Native American and needlessly killing animals like that is against his culture. IDK why they can't use that plot point to stop players from being an ass in digital shrines or something.
