Stupid people would buy those games and give ubisoft alot of money. Its easier to dislike something. But do you have the control to not buy it? I remember people trying to boycott alot of games, only to end up buying it the next day.
The West doesn't seem to be universally liking it either but who knows at this point
People should be really angry about this, not the color of the character. They are forgetting who ubisoft is.
you mean an 80s kung fu movie
State your opinion and then promptly fuckoff. Otherwise you have a motive. Tired of you long winded nerds who only talk like women and never stay their groundDoes anyone else see this endless loop people keep having to go through withStueyDuck ? All he has to do is point a finger and make a claim, and myself and others keep having to be the ones to provide proof.
Why does he never provide counterproof? or proof to his of his 'wokeness' claims?Instead he just throws things out there and we all just have to accept his word. Meanwhile myself and others here have to dig through the mud to prove everything right. Over and over. You have it easy on this forum man, I am envious.
Brb, going do an expedition of searches.
I'd laugh but given the ending of AC Valhalla, this is actually a very real possibility.
Nobody is forgetting Ubisoft shenanigans. You're acting like this is the first time they got controversy. And no, people are not angry primarily of the "colour" of the protagonist; what an incredibly reductive observation to point this out. No, it's it the lack of a leading male asian protagonist that's the source of this bullshit narrative that Ubisoft set up without a shred of awareness.
Friend, ubisoft picked their protognist. They arent a japanese studios, and has no requirement that they should make a mandatory japanese main character.
If you actually gave a shit about real racism instead of ham fisted virtue signalling you would observe how engaging in retarded culture war bullshit, "rubbing" peoples faces in petty, abrasive diversity increases the amount and severity of racism in the world. Those responsible for this shit are not black yet black people will get all the flack. People ask why are all these western AAA games so shit now? the answer moves away from shitty devs and money hungry corps with upside down priorities in an anti meritocratic system, it gets conflated with black people demanding representation in everything when they often aren't.
Oh, they are free to choose their own characters. But they aren't free from criticism for their choice, they don't get free points.
So? We want a male japanese character in a location taking place in Japan. Hell, we can do both japanese female/male characters like Valhalla/Odyssey. Why not now?
So, having opinions on social and political matters means she can't have ancestors?
Where do you the Egyptians came from? Not Europe, not Asia. Guess.
No need to announce it we already knew you were a moron, that's why your beliefs are all fucked up and you run from any serious engagement. Dont worry, my messages aren't aimed at you, other people read it and enough people throwing the right ideas into the ether pops stupid echo chambers. One day even you, an illiterate human weather vane will adopt my world view.
I can smell your dishonesty through my screen. Run away? Why, my good man, you people simply aren't worth taking seriously.
Criticism doesnt work in gaming. They speak $$$$ and copy sold. That is the currency of this world right now. Why do you think they are all in on this IP? Because people mindless buy them.
why my good man you aren't worth taking seriously, he says as he refuses to read and runs away covering his eyes and ears. Anyone reading this exchange can tell you're a fucking moron, thanks for proving my point by existing, holding shit opinions and being so dumb. By all means continue to post shitty empty bait about how uninterested you are in this argument despite choosing and continuing to engage, the cowardice and hypocrisy only makes my point stronger.
Actually a lot of people questioned it and a lot of Iranians were pissed off that why their people were being depicted as black. I remember someone rationalizing it that a lot of servants were most likely black.
I changed my mind and decided to actually read your post, and dissect it point by point, because I am bored right now. Let's see how much you really believe in engaging discussion.
Honestly these days it's pretty hard to tell what's fake, but the only thing that is fake is the lgbt part, the rest is true, so my comment still stands.
Nope, you don't.
You understand that continents are arbitrary concepts, right? North Africa, including Egypt, is largely cut off from sub-Saharan Africa (that is, the black part of Africa) by the Sahara. The Egyptians were and are genetically and linguistically closest to neighboring Middle Eastern populations as a result. Population exchange between Egypt and Nubia along the Nile was dwarfed by population exchange between Egypt and Syria, Greece, Anatolia, Italy, etc across the Mediterranean.
You complain too much about other people complaining. Go touch grass.
a DLC with steven seagal would be great , dude is legit
In the period where they have an "interesting" arc (whether direct or not with oda/hideyoshi/leyasu story) such as miyamoto, kojiro, yagyu, tachibana, chosokabe, date, hanzo, etc. It's mind boggling imo.
You're on GAF. You'll stay perpetually tired I guess.

Dna shows they're related to Levant Anatolia, middle eastern people from the middle east then. Ancient Egyptians are largely an ancient middle eastern people, as seen from their own depictions and culture in the hot bed of civilization the middle eastern area of Turkey Iran, Egypt Lebanon etc not sub Saharan. There were some people from the sub Saharan region there. They also had an invasion from sub Sahara and disposed them.
. Yes. It's all about the black man, surely nothing to do with the pandering to a certain demographic.

You know, I had an epiphany while doing this research. I realized no matter what I present, I can already picture the responses of those who simply won't look. Also, this whole act of trying to pin a personality on me like a pinata is cute guys. I appreciate the deflection, and comments, and the gotcha-fishing about my personality and my 'true self' like we're at some cheap therapy session. Keep trying to dig at bedrock I guess. Alright, here we go...
Some of this info will need a translation tool. You'll just have to deal.
Just so that I'm as careful as possible here, I will post information that is publicly available and not the private information I found:
(Thread of posts made just about 1 year ago, pre-Yasuke argument. Yes, click on it before saying something.)
She went on an evidence rant and posted some stuff, including her birth certificate showing proof of her father's origin(probably not the smartest idea for her to share):
There is some other information including family ancestry tree and info about her grandfather that I managed to dig up, but I'm not going to post them here. They are findable with google but she didn't post them, so I'm not going to either, especially not on this forum.
Here is info on the ancestor in question:

常出现在ACG作品中的黑人武士弥助，真实履历并没有那么精彩
戏说不是胡说，改编不是乱编。 文 / 照月 日本战国时期的黑人武士“弥助”，在近期的流行文化作品中拥有不低的出场率。 4月29日，网飞与曾经制作过《巴哈姆特之怒》《咒术回战》等人气动画作品的MAPPA合作，推出了…

旗本
旗本（はたもと）原指战场上主将旗下的近卫武士，至江户时代专指将军直属武士中领地不满一万石但具面见资格者。其领地3000石以上可自设阵屋管理，以下多委托代官管理。部分旗本可如同大名实行参觐交代，称交代寄合。19世纪50年代旗本人数达5280余人，加上旗本陪臣和御家人，合称“旗本八万骑”，构成幕府主要军事力量。战国时代部分大名设有直属旗本军队，江户时期旗本多为将军直臣（包括失格大名后裔等）。1722年统计显示九成旗本石高不足500石，仅百名超5000石。按职能分为铁炮众、马回、小姓等类别，部分旗本侧近被用于增强大名对豪族控制力。
I really want to pin this specific comment below somewhere if I could. It truly represents all of the problems with the topic of Yasuke, encapsulated in one statement:
. She literally has a tweet claiming that samurai were all LGBT. Do we really all believe that? I bet if anything there's maybe one fringe case If even but she is openly declaring that all samurai were LGBT 
What games are these?Fuck both.....
First is Sekiro : Shadows die twice (From Software)
I don't care about her stance on LGBT samurai. You asked me to verify her claim about her family, not defend her entire being. I found verifiable information. I specifically said you should google and dig for it, because I am not posting a doxxing-level of information to win a GAF argument.None of that still proves that she is some expert in Japanese history. Looking at my grans birth certificate doesn't now give me insight into what it was like living in 1940.
The fact remains that she is just a random on the internet. If the tweet was from an ancient historian who studied these things then sure they have some knowledge. She is just an American who wants to be as Japanese as possible. I'm not gonna post any of her other tweets here but almost everyone starts with "in Japan" or "people think X about Japan"... only foreigners speak like that
Where can you show me that she personally has studied Japanese history and has in depth knowledge of all the intricacies.
All you did was paste a tweet where she has a Japanese family member and then post some completely unrelated articles from other websites. Nothing proves that her word is gospel.
I'm sure if I "did my research' I could find some conflicting arguments to all of those articles, because historians study these things and can only draw conclusions.
The answer is directly in front of you and you choose to ignore it.
I tend to think this will work as 2 separate classes, each character with his own set of perks and skill from which to create a build. Yasuke will have probably "in your face" combat perks and skills, while Naoe will be more stealth, daggers etc.
You just got to the crux of my reason for not using Yasuke. Ezio and Kasandra didn't exist. Yasuke did. None of the playable characters existed. Not even the other one in this game.
