Assassin's Creed thread

[Hermiöne Granger]

The next ASScreed game story has been leaked and, surprise surprise, its a woke gay white liberal feminist womans wet dream. Also Ezio returns as a non binary and will get the Luke Skywalker disney treatment. This franchise is COOKED!

That's because 2B's beautiful, delightful ass carried that game. With grace and style

Exactly, I bet if they made Naoe look like Kasumi from Dead or Alive or Shiranui Mai people wouldn't mind playing a girl ninja.

I didn't even see anyone complaining about Naoe not being hot or anything, everyone just talked about how it was retarded to make a foreigner and a woman the crowd-blending assassin protagonists in a setting where women and foreigners had almost no social mobility or freedom. Shit, in the Edo era women weren't even allowed to write.

It would've made a million times more sense to just make the MC a Japanese dude in a game where your options are being a ninja and a samurai. Like Tsushima.

Man the game looks like total manure. Disappointed UEG defends the game and KCD2 despite having some good videos exposing ESG.

Sorry for not updating the Grifter thread, I have work IRL, I might come back when I am in holiday.

I don't trust that grifter Endymion.

Didn't hurt Nier Automata.

2B was not Automata protagonist, Nines and A2(or even the pods) were.
2B was just the prologue protagonist (like Snake in MGS2) and 2B('s ass) was just the face(or ass) for the marketing.
Taro has other games with Fem lead like DoD3 (a flop that a remake with Replicant 1.22 combat would work well)

I didn't even see anyone complaining about Naoe not being hot...

There was a fair amount of people who noticed what an ugly shovel faced manjawed nip she looked like in the reveal trailer. They clearly backed off on it for the full release.

I don't trust that grifter Endymion.

I don't know how anyone can after SmashJT was outed to be following some random lib who made shit up for his "sources". Offer proof or it didn't happen, you don't have to incriminate anyone working at Ubisoft but you must offer something to prove you didn't just think up of these "leaks" while on a toilet.

I started replaying Nioh 2 yesterday and I noticed that Naoe looks almost identical to the default male Hide preset on character creation.

We've fallen so far female characters now look the same as male characters from 2019.

nieR is unironically the biggest fucking con job on earth. One "who?" tier first game, then a literal tech demo sandbox game consisting of 80% empty landscapes, and yet runs like dogshit. I've seen Gollum speedrunners quit nieR out of boredom. Then you finally think it's fucking dead and they put an entire raid into FFXIV solely to shill that game again.

Then Replica drops and people unironically go "It's so good if you just ignore all optional quests". It's nuts how some games just get a hardcore pass cause uhh, fanboys? I guess

That's actually what I noticed when they released the reveal trailer, which is why I was confused when people talked about a female ninja as I haven't watched the trailer, I just saw the screenshots from the trailer, not to mention I thought "Naoe" was the last name, as there was a samurai clan that served the Uesugi with that name. Only after I've watched the trailer myself have I seen that Naoe was supposed to be a woman.

I didn't think much of Rise of The Ronin and kinda wished Team Ninja just made Nioh 3 instead but at least in that game you can still create a cute big boobed ninja or Samurai girl.

I wonder how long Team Ninja has before they get handed their globohomo mandate.

I'm very optimistic when it comes to that since Team Ninja has a certain "reputation" to uphold, given that they're the devs of the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive games. And yeah, I know they went with the whole "less sexualized" bullshit with Dead or Alive 6, but they did the same with DoA5 and in the end Dead or Alive 5 Last Round had the most sexualized costumes the series has ever seen, plus the new DoA Xtreme games are the most risque they've ever been. I think the only reason they haven't gone back to their roots with a new revision of Dead or Alive 6 is because the game was such a massive flop in both the commercial and the gameplay sense that they just abandoned it completely.

I never saw any real sales numbers but I wouldn't be shocked if Rise flopped too since it was a PS5 exclusive for a long time and the recent PC port is allegedly in a terrible technical state.

Take the HDM DOA mod pill.

They said RotR was their best selling title ever. Maybe factoring in costs it wasn't their greatest success but its definitely not a flop. And given that they put in another ad buy for it when Shadows came out it certainly looks like the title has legs.

It's... okay. The game is really fun but it's not very stable on pc.

I was really into the alt-historical setting combined with near-ish future scifi, all the way from 1 to Syndicate. But then it was an era I couldn't give less of a shit about in Origins and the series became a parody of open world uber-slop game design.

If this was a decade plus ago and Ubisoft released Shadows back when the fans wanted them to do a Japan entry it would've been GotY material, but now it's the exact opposite and could be the game that marks when all the little problems became an existential problem for the company.

If Ubi would have dropped the trying so hard to crowbar the weird animus/abstergo/templar stuff into AC post AC3 and AC4 i feel the games would have been a lot more enjoyable and less restrictive. Go full alt history like Wolfenstien because you Origins and forward you get the feeling they really want to drop this nonsense and lean more into the fantastical but because it's AC they need to strictly try to stay with the formula.

Meanwhile Ubislop picked Kassandra & female Eivor as canon despite them only being 11% of player picks.

EA has been doing similar stuff with FemShep for Mass Effect, she's not canon but they used her a lot in their marketing.

Same with CDPR despite the overwhelming majority of players picking male V, and to add insult to injury they turned female V from a conventionally attractive woman into a nigger crackhead on release.

I have an inkling we'll be looking fondly at Shadows and reminisce how it wasn't that bad once the Polish pozz collective shits out Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2.
