Huh, I thought I read a long time ago that they were making him gay. Was that just a rumor or do "choices matter"?

What time is it?
This is all so monumentally stupid.

No Danji... No
Last year there there was a Japanese movie where Yasuke is Nobunaga's gay lover. No one protested.

Settle it with a Samurai duel between Yves and the PM.I have to say I have been getting hours of quality entertainment out of AC Shadows and the game isn’t even out yet!
Next step in this drama I would love to see Japan eject French ambassador! Because why not!?

I love the Japanese and their country. No, Danji.
They're wonderful people. They made Atlus and Vanillaware.

I love Japanese games and anime but that doesn't mean "Japan do no wrong".....I definitely dont agree with them on this.I love the Japanese and their country. No, Danji.
They're wonderful people. They made Atlus and Vanillaware.
Devs should be free to make whatever they want, I dont want devs to afraid to make what they want.

Everyone should be respectfull to others. A person's freedom ends where another man's freedom begins. You insult people, you get your ass handed to you, and they will be absolutely right.
If someone doesn't care about culture doesn't mean other don't.

In Japanese games like SMT, you kill christian angels and literally fight mother of christ as boss fight.....come on.

It's not about symmetry, values are assymetrical.
West now doesn't care much about conservative views valuing society standards way above personal freedom with lots of tradition, so if west doesn't care about killing angels, no one will do. But west value diversity, tolerance and personal freedom, so east do follow and add bits and pieces of it when depicting west themselves even if it's not exactly their cultural code.
In Rome do as the romans do - when depicting someone, depict it on their values, not yours.

If they wanted a black protagonist in their game, they should have just done it in Valhalla. No one in a western country would have had the balls to say one word against having a black Viking.
Alas, they had to go pick on a country that isn’t ashamed to defend its history and culture.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
They’re releasing the game Japan, just take the L and move on.
Through my own ignorance I know very little about Japans histories and cultures but playing this game with a 20 stone black samurai dude isn’t going to suddenly make me believe this is what happened.
It’s a fucking game. A work of fiction.
Hate to say it but… Godzilla ain’t real either…

Note how Yasuke didn't even make the list lol. It's all shit none of the anti-woke crusaders would have even cared about if they didn't already have another reason to hate the game.

Well not to put Christians on the spot but if they themselves don't care about blaspheming their own religion then why would anyone else?

yeah, i heard it will enjoy the massive success of Dragon Age the Vailguard
The whole controversy surrounding this game will likely permanently damage Ubisoft as a company in Japan. For some reason Ubisoft has huge issues releasing a game without some controversy since a few years. The whole company is heavily mismanaged and the best that could happen would be Tencent to take over. Save a few of the good ip's, get rid of the problematic game devs and suits in the west and focus on making games people want to play. It's not that difficult
