Someone tell these guys you cand ransack monasteries in Valhalla. They should retroactivly outrage.

The Vikings were a bunch of savages without written history. If anything, they are portrayed too nicely in fiction.

Everything Ubisoft does is to shit on culture and people they despise, just like the most-awarded movie for the Oscars this year. It's the same case, and they aren't subtle about it.

Funny this got recommended to me

The dialogue between Naoe and that Priestess is like Tenchu levels of voice acting.

Well, if we want to be lore accurate we need to give players a chance to kill the samurai’s entire family, including women and children.

Maybe fu..ck the boys

Japanese don’t like the shrine destruction.

Bid odd to bring this up now? It’s the exact same environmental destruction you can do in Rise of the Ronin at the various temples and shrines. You can also do similar thing to Monasteries in Valhalla as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember you killing innocent people praying in the shrine.

Man this game is so fucked

 

[MMaRsu]

Its getting retarded with the amount of stupidity from the grifters. Oh no you can "destroy" a few benches and lamps inside a shrine! Heresy!

Fuck off allready

Holy shit the SkillUp video, wtf at Yasuke's limitations.

What the hell was Ubi thinking?

Edit: omg that scouting system, what a wasted opportunity.
edit2: lol at being able to just kill random npc's with zero consequences. No guards, no wanted system, nothing.

Within the first few seconds of the video i saw the typical ubisoft environment and hud.

Words cannot describe how my body pulled itself down into a massive fatige.

I didn’t see anyone getting killed in that clip? Just the environmental destruction. Hasn’t it been confirmed that if you go all murder-hobo you get a desync?

All of this is completely at player discretion and isn't an objective of the game. It's like going on a killing spree in GTA.

I just booted up Rise of the Ronin and blew a praying monk's head off at a shrine.

Because the NPC flee as soon as they take damage.

Sry, I was talking about GoT. I forgot to mention that.
IDK if Risen ever mention being historic accuracy game.

Well in Rise you can kill tons of people over rather dubious reasons in several temples.

It's like Assassins Creed in that it's set in a historical setting about real events (the Bakumatsu period), and also has real life figures like Ryōma Sakamoto, but the story itself is a fictionalized one.

It is one shrine in particular that is the issue a not "various temples and shrines" or monasteries?

Is it an issue? All I’ve seen about it is a handful of randos on Twitter saying it is, with zero corresponding evidence to back it up. Maybe Shadows doesn’t have the required legal permissions (if any are needed) to display the shrine. But that’s a whole different story than possible disrespect forwards Shintoism.

 

[GymWolf]

I hope it's fried with tempura batter to be historically accurate.

If I turn in my copy of Rise can we cancel Shadows?

Just don’t play it. But Shadows doesn’t really do that much different than Rise, bar having set protagonists, and probably worse combat.

AC really did a site saying they will be acurracy as possible, I guess the Xbox PR site mention that.

Again, wasn't the main focus of the Rise.
