This is the only correct response. There's far better games set in Sengoku-era Japan, and a superior "AssCreed in Japan" game exists in the form of Ghost of Tsushima. If you must play something with Yasuke in it, play Nioh (or don't, he's a late-story boss in 1 and I haven't gotten far enough to encounter him in 2 yet).
Because its Ubishit, that's why.
Nobunaga also gets resurrected by the villain, you fight Nobunaga, and then after the fight when the villain tries to boss Nobunaga around he just tells him to fuck off and walks away to do whatever the fuck he wants since he's Nobunaga Oda and he's nobody's bitch boy.
Na, he was pretty fucking important. Taught the Japanese how to build their first ocean-going vessels and yanked the Japanese hard away from the Portuguese by being a hell of a lot more chill than they were. When he showed up the Jesuits outright demanded his head simply because he was an English Protestant to the point of lying to the Japanese and claiming he and his crew were all pirates, which obviously did not endear them to the locals when they had one of their own interpreters start asking questions. He was also an active participant in the Battle of Sekigahara as part of the Tokugawa artillery forces that were using cannon he and his ships brought over, and following that campaign was given 10,000 Portuguese reals for his services in it. He was paid extremely well for his services, with a estate worth 250 koku as well as a monthly payout from Ieysau of 50 ryo a month (a ryo being roughly equivalent to a koku in value) and given an additional per diem of a few pounds of rice, granted the title of samurai, and even made one of Ieyasu's personal hatamoto. Shit, he even secured substantial trading rights for the Dutch that they would manage to maintain even throughout the sakoku period as well as convinced Ieyasu to expel the Jesuits from Japan and to never trust the Spanish. There was a ton of seething in both Iberia and the Vatican as a result of his efforts since he ensured they were all permanently cockblocked from the place.
Somehow...........Desmond fucked up and some apocalypse is happening........i think?
I don’t even know how many people I’ve argued with at this point who unironically believe Yasuke was a samurai. I might as well just stay silent and laugh because… arguing with retards is impossible.
The modern day stuff is probably the shittiest part of the new AssCreed series. The protagonist is a Mary Sue who built her own Animus that can use multiple DNA samples of other people at the same time. Pure cringe.
You and @Starved Artist are arguing in bad faith, to put it lightly. Historical authenticity drives immersion for one's storytelling and world building. The argument you're making about diversity in a fictional setting falls flat since their DEI practices outright dictates a predetermined character with X attribute regardless of creativity. People want something different, they don't want to be force fed diversity quotas when it compromises their experience on a product they're paying for. If Assassin's Creed prides itself on historical research for their fictional worlds, then they're being disingenuous on rewriting actual history because they want to.
He wasn't just a samurai, bigot.
I genuinely believe them deciding to kill off Desmond was the moment the series fate was sealed.
Tbf aliens were kind of already a thing in old AC. I think the plot originally was something like before humans lived on earth the earth was inhabited by this precursor race called the Isu? And the apple of eden was one of their artifacts. But some disaster happened that killed them all.
The Precursors were a bunch of hyper-advanced guys who used us humans as a slave labor caste. A big-ass coronal ejection fucked up the Earth, but because there were a lot more of us than them, and we were a lot less dependent on fancy tech than they were as a result of our status, we managed to survive even as they all died horribly, even if that did result in us getting sent to the Stone Age.
Yeah that sounds about right. Thank you, I was not autistic enough to remember the detail that intricately.
Shit, Origins directly contradicts not just actual history (Caesar's stabbing) but how it went down in AC: Brotherhood. When you start getting the keys to unlock the Armor of Brutus you find out he got visions from the gods (aka the Precursors) that warned him of Caesar's impending tyranny, and so he locked his armor away to leave it unsullied by the treachery he was going to commit by stabbing his best friend to death.
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Origins also retcon the hidden blade? I remember in the early games the whole needing to remove your ring finger thing was a design flaw of the blade which Da Vinci corrected later. But in one of the later games they retconned it to some kind of commitment thing or something?
You have Ubisoft's reaction to the Unity female character controversy wrong. It's not that they "didn't back down", but were rather completely blindsided by the absurd outrage during E3 2014 with nothing they could do about it, the game being very late in development with only a handful of months until release in the holiday season. In fact, Ubisoft was so traumatized by the outrage that they've been doing their best to stave off a repeat with an emphasis on gender-mixed/selectable protagonists ever since at the expense of historical believability and having a well-defined central character to the story like Ezio or Connor.
