The gore level is fine. Let devs make the kinds of games they want, if if people want less gore, the devs can add a gore slider if they feel like it.

Assassin's Creed Shadows is ultra gory and people are complaining online. What's GAF's take?

That's not really ultra gory, but it is still nice. I might check this out.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I'm just splitting hairs here, but Japanese people in Japan are not the minority .. that analogy doesn't work here.

This is just hating for hatings sake.
A razor sharp Katana decapitates and chops limbs off!!!! I'm shocked wow.... actually no I'm not, this is the least of AC worries.

The nitpicking this game is getting is funny. First watermelons and now gore. Other recent games like Rise of the Ronin and Ghost of Tsushima had way larger issues with historical accuracy and very few people cared.
Almost nobody complained about Nioh. I don’t think anyone complained about Rise of the Ronin either, and in that game you can create a black or white character and go around murdering people with plenty of gore.

The person who made the tweet about the gore (and which is actually not the one shown in the OP here) makes it clear it's political. It's not about the gore (he writes so himself).
It's about what he thinks he sees as an attempt to humiliate Japanese people by... (well, read the tweet, it's political).
I'd say he's off his rocker, personally, and can be ignored.

Ultra gory, lmao.
These people never saw an ultra gorey vg in their life, this is the same tame shit that tsushima has, the absolute bare minimum.
Even valhalla was more violent by far (and it was still tame as shit)
Also, if it was a japanese dude killing other japs it would be ok? Insane grift.

No, you have a character for stealth and one for combat.
Obviously they are not gonna show the stealth in a video about gore.

Why did these nutjobs never complain about the gore and blood splatter in other games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Rise of Ronnin?
Or can only Japanese developers use gore in Japanese games? The bloody state of this place ....

I became woke just for this game only. It's not ok for black people to kill asians in games!

Rest assured, Kangmin Lee, you can also slice down Asian pixels with an Asian avatar, I'm pretty sure you'll also be able to kill some European dudes. On a serious note, I'm glad Ubisoft had the balls to implement this level of gore in AC Shadows, it looks very good.

There's a lot to complain about - the gore is not one of them. Looks great.

I ike wounds to be realistic in games so this is a positive for me. If you slash the stomach area do the intestines fall out on to the floor?

Wait until he sees the romance option, where the little Asian girls are fawning over his big katana.

Just as a side note - Valhalla was action-heavy, but there was zero weight to your actions. The animations can look nice for sure, but it felt like you were waiving around a feather duster no matter what weapon.

Katanas piercing through bodies. Sure it must be gory, how could it not?
Stupid argument this time. A different discussion is turning AC into a trashy combat RPG, which is wrong. It had a reason in Origins (before Bayek learned the Assassin's way but it's nonsensical to keep that style, more so when they seem unable to design proper combat)

Gore? We've been killing in AC games for what, 14 years now? Whether it is by stealth or openly. It is an "ASSASSIN" game mate, what do you expect, rainbows?
As @Flabagast stated in the first page, people will criticize this game from everything now. It seems that Kangmin Lee fella is the biggest instigator on the net. Isn't that the same person who also criticize watermelon-cherry blossom overlapping? Just let it go man. Really what the hell.
I also hated Ubisoft chose the only "black, historically controversial 'samurai'" on Japanese history to impose their agenda and I said lots of stuff about it. But that's enough for me. For the rest, we'll see when the game comes out.

People who think that gore is too far haven't played Avp 2010. That game used to be considered excessive in terms of gore.

I like blood and guts in gaming. It's cathartic.

You can't ignore "the politics", because that's the root of the issue. The gore in itself isn't the issue. It's that by having something as culturally insensitive as Yasuke, then gory fatalities only adds insult to injury.

Nothing to do with Yasuke. Japanese regulations have become very strict about gore in video games lately.

Gameplay looks generic as fuck, they should worry about that instead.
What are you talking about, in Japan it was (self-)censored as well.
